The Soundcore Space A40 Black is the all-black version of Anker’s compact adaptive noise cancelling earbuds. Soundcore says the ANC cuts up to 98% of noise, the 10mm double-layer drivers support LDAC for high-resolution audio on compatible Android phones, and the battery reaches up to 10 hours per charge and 50 hours with the case in normal mode. Each earbud weighs 4.9 g, and the case charges over USB-C or on a wireless pad.

Why choose black
Black is the colour most people reach for, and with good reason. The Soundcore Space A40 Black earbuds and case look the same in a boardroom, on a plane or at the gym, they match any phone, and they do not draw attention in the ear. Black is also the most forgiving finish for everyday carry: pocket lint, scuffs from keys and the light marks a case collects in a bag are hard to see. If you want one pair of earbuds for work, travel and the commute and do not want to think about cleaning, black is the safe choice. A dry, soft cloth removes fingerprints from the glossy parts.
Noise cancelling for flights and commutes
Soundcore says the adaptive ANC on the Soundcore Space A40 Black reduces noise by up to 98%, adjusting its strength to your surroundings. That figure describes steady sound such as engines, cabin hum and air conditioning, which is where any ANC works best; voices and sudden noises are reduced rather than removed. Transparency mode lets announcements through, and the app includes a Wind Noise Reduction mode for outdoor use and a Tip Fit Test that checks your seal. With four ear tip sizes in the box, getting the right fit is easy, and a good seal improves both cancellation and bass.
Battery and the conditions behind the numbers
Battery life on the Soundcore Space A40 Black depends on what you turn on. In normal mode, Soundcore quotes up to 10 hours per charge and 50 hours with the case. With ANC or Transparency on, that becomes up to 8 hours and 40 hours. LDAC uses more power: up to 6 hours per charge (30 with the case) with ANC off, and 5 hours (25 with the case) with ANC on. A 10-minute charge gives up to 4 hours of listening. The earbuds take about 2 hours to charge fully; the case about 3 hours over USB-C or 3.5 hours on a wireless charger.
LDAC, multipoint and calls
The Soundcore Space A40 Black supports SBC, AAC and LDAC. LDAC carries more audio data for high-resolution playback, but it needs an Android phone that supports it; iPhones use AAC. Bluetooth 5.2 multipoint keeps the earbuds connected to two devices, such as a phone and a laptop, but Soundcore notes that multipoint cannot be used while LDAC is on. For calls, six microphones with AI help separate your voice from the background. Soundcore lists up to 6 hours of call time in normal mode and 5 hours with ANC.
The app and comfort
The soundcore app adds HearID, which builds a personal sound profile from a short hearing test, plus a custom EQ and customisable touch controls. At 4.9 g per earbud, the Soundcore Space A40 Black is light for long listening sessions, and the small shape sits inside the ear rather than sticking out. The rating is IPX4, which covers sweat and light splashes.
Who This Is Not For
The Soundcore Space A40 Black is not for swimming or dusty outdoor work: IPX4 covers sweat and splashes only and gives no dust protection. iPhone users will not benefit from LDAC, which works only with compatible Android phones, and LDAC also cuts battery to 5 to 6 hours per charge and disables multipoint. If you need noise cancelling on all day during long-haul flights, the 8-hour ANC figure means returning the buds to the case midway.
