Use Cases
Daily Commuting and Public Transport
The Space Q45’s adaptive ANC automatically increases cancellation strength on loud trains and buses. The 50-hour ANC runtime means a typical five-day commuting week passes without a recharge. Additionally, multi-point connectivity lets you stay connected to both a phone and a laptop simultaneously, switching audio sources without re-pairing.
Long-Haul Flights and Travel
Fifty hours of ANC playtime covers most intercontinental routes without needing a power source mid-flight. The foldable design and included hard-shell case protect the headphones in overhead bins and cramped bags. The 3.5mm AUX input also provides a wired fallback for in-seat entertainment systems, with ANC still active.
Remote Work and Video Calls
The dual-microphone system with AI processing handles voice calls in home offices and cafés reasonably well. The five transparency levels let you stay aware of your surroundings during breaks without removing the headphones. Furthermore, the soundcore app allows you to customise button functions and EQ profiles to suit a desk work setup.
Hi-Res Wireless Listening
Listeners who use LDAC-compatible Android devices and lossless streaming services will get the most from the Space Q45’s audio hardware. The dual-layer diaphragm drivers deliver a balanced frequency response that suits a range of genres. However, LDAC requires a single-device connection — multipoint must be disabled when using this codec.
Considerations Before Buying
- No wall charger in the box. The package includes a USB-C cable only. You need a USB charger with a 5V output, sold separately.
- Cannot use while charging. The Space Q45 does not support audio playback during charging. Plan charges around listening sessions.
- LDAC and multipoint are mutually exclusive. You can run LDAC with one device, or multipoint with two devices on SBC or AAC — not both at once. Buyers who switch frequently between a phone and laptop may find this limiting.
- Microphone performance varies by environment. The dual-mic system handles quiet and moderately noisy spaces well. However, loud environments such as busy streets or building sites reduce call clarity for the other party.
- Primarily plastic build. The body uses sturdy plastic with aluminium alloy hinges. The headphones feel solid in use, but the finish is not as scratch-resistant as fully metal alternatives.
- No IP rating. The Space Q45 is not water or sweat resistant. It is not suitable for gym use or outdoor exercise in rain.
- No Find My Headphones function. The soundcore app does not support device location tracking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Soundcore Space Q45 come with a wall charger?
No. The box includes a USB-C cable, a 3.5mm AUX cable, a hard carry case, and a user guide. A wall charger is not included and must be purchased separately. A standard 5V USB charger is recommended.
Can I use the Space Q45 while it charges?
No. The headphones do not support audio playback during charging. Wait for a charge to complete before using them.
Does the AUX cable work with ANC active?
Yes. When a 3.5mm AUX cable is connected, you can press the NC button to activate noise cancellation. This is useful for aircraft entertainment systems that require a wired connection.
Can I use LDAC and connect to two devices at the same time?
No. LDAC and multipoint connection cannot operate simultaneously. To connect to two devices, the headphones use SBC or AAC. Switch to single-device mode to enable LDAC.
How many ANC levels does the Space Q45 have?
The Space Q45 offers two ANC modes. Adaptive mode automatically adjusts the cancellation level based on your environment. Custom mode gives you five manually selectable levels via the soundcore app.
How long does the battery last?
Up to 65 hours with ANC off at 60% volume, or up to 50 hours with ANC on at the same volume. A five-minute fast charge provides four hours of additional playtime. Battery life decreases at higher volumes and during calls.
Does the Space Q45 work with the soundcore app?
Yes. The soundcore app for iOS and Android provides access to EQ customisation, ANC and transparency level control, wind noise reduction, button remapping, volume limits, and firmware updates.
Is the Space Q45 suitable for gym or outdoor exercise use?
No. The Space Q45 carries no IP water or sweat resistance rating. It is designed for commuting, travel, and desk use rather than workouts or outdoor exercise in wet conditions.
Can I connect the Space Q45 to two devices at the same time?
Yes — via multipoint Bluetooth. However, LDAC is not available in multipoint mode. The headphones use SBC or AAC when connected to two devices simultaneously.
