soundcore Space 2 Pro review: Guinness record call quality
soundcore Space 2 Pro review: record call quality

The soundcore Space 2 Pro headphones from Anker have earned a Guinness World Record for the clearest wireless over-ear headphones for calls, and they are aimed at professionals on the go.

Priced at £199.99, the headphones offer 60 hours of listening time or 20 hours of talking, making them a strong option for office use. The record-breaking call quality is powered by the Thus AI chip and six sensors, which work to eliminate background noise for crystal-clear conversations in any environment.

Tested in a busy airport

During a recent holiday to Greece, the headphones were put to the test in various settings, particularly in a busy airport departure lounge. The reviewer called their parents to report a flight delay, and the person on the other end had no idea they were surrounded by hundreds of noisy travellers.

The headphones are described as incredibly comfortable to wear for hours without any aches, and the call quality thrives in loud environments. While the sound quality for music is not necessarily exceptional, the custom equaliser in the soundcore app helps, and the reviewer argues it is a compromise worth making given the extensive feature list.

Setup and design notes

As with other Anker products, setup is straightforward, with the reviewer connected and ready within about two minutes of opening the box. The only personal drawback noted was the lack of a hard shell case; the Space 2 Pro comes with a soft drawstring bag instead, which the reviewer said they would have preferred for transport.

The soundcore Space 2 Pro headphones are available in black or grey and retail at £199.99 on Amazon and the soundcore website. For a cheaper alternative, the Sony WH-CH730N costs £99.99 and comes in five colours, while the luxury Sonos Ace Ultra is priced at £399.99.
