The soundcore Space Q45 is an over-ear wireless headphone from Anker built around two things travellers care about: noise cancelling and battery life. soundcore rates it at up to 50 hours with ANC on and up to 65 hours with ANC off, both measured at 60% volume. Its three-stage noise cancelling covers a wide band of low and mid frequencies, and soundcore says it cuts noise by up to 98%. Add 40 mm double-layer drivers, LDAC for Hi-Res Wireless on Android, Bluetooth 5.3 with a two-device connection and hinges that fold down into the included case, and you have a headphone aimed squarely at long flights, open offices and noisy commutes.

Three-stage noise cancelling, adaptive or custom
soundcore describes the ANC on the soundcore Space Q45 as a three-stage, wide-band system and quotes noise reduction of up to 98%. You can leave it in Adaptive mode, where it adjusts strength to the noise around you, or pick one of five Custom levels in the soundcore app; higher levels block more low-frequency rumble such as engines and air conditioning. soundcore is honest that no ANC removes everything: human voices are reduced, not eliminated. The NC button cycles between noise cancelling, Transparency and Normal, and Transparency also has adjustable levels in the app. There is a wind-noise reduction toggle too, useful on a windy walk or a boat.
Battery life and charging
At 60% volume soundcore lists up to 50 hours with ANC on and up to 65 hours with it off. Calls shorten that, because the microphones draw extra power. A five-minute top-up gives about four hours of listening, and a full charge takes about two hours indoors (longer in the cold) with a 5V charger. One practical point: the soundcore Space Q45 cannot play while it is charging over USB-C. If the battery runs out mid-flight, plug in the AUX cable instead; you can still switch ANC on with a short press of the NC button in wired mode, which is handy with in-flight entertainment screens.
Sound, LDAC and the soundcore app
Each ear cup carries a 40 mm double-layer diaphragm driver, and soundcore lists a frequency response of 20 Hz to 40 kHz with Hi-Res Wireless certification. Supported codecs are SBC, AAC and LDAC. LDAC is switched on in the soundcore app and needs an Android phone that supports it; iPhones connect over AAC. The app also offers an adjustable EQ, HearID sound personalisation, customisable button controls and firmware updates. Note that LDAC is unavailable while multipoint is active, so you choose between higher-resolution streaming and easy switching between two devices.
Bluetooth 5.3, multipoint and calls
The soundcore Space Q45 uses Bluetooth 5.3 and can stay connected to two devices at once, for example your phone and your laptop. To pair a third device, you disconnect one of the two first. For calls there are two microphones with an AI noise-reduction algorithm, and the main mic sits at the front of the right ear cup. Controls are physical buttons rather than touch panels, so adjusting the headphone on your head does not trigger accidental pauses. Bluetooth range can be cut by walls, appliances and busy Wi-Fi, so keep the source device reasonably close in a crowded office.
Weight, size and folding design
soundcore lists the weight at 292 g and the size at 161 × 190 × 88 mm. That is not the lightest over-ear headphone on the market, but the weight buys the bigger battery and the wider ANC system. The aluminium-alloy hinges rotate and fold so the soundcore Space Q45 fits inside its protective case, and the sliding headband adjusts for different head sizes. The case and AUX cable are listed by soundcore among the included extras, so you have what you need for a flight without buying accessories.
Who This Is Not For
The soundcore Space Q45 is not for anyone who wants a featherweight headphone or something for the gym: it weighs 292 g and soundcore publishes no water-resistance rating. It cannot be used while charging. LDAC does not work together with multipoint, and iPhone users cannot use LDAC at all. Over-ear cushions also get warm when walking outside in the UAE summer, so for outdoor exercise an open-ear or in-ear model makes more sense.
