Anker Soundcore Space 2 UK review: official specs, £129.99 price, 70-hour battery claim, ANC features, LDAC support and early buyer verdict.
The Anker Soundcore Space 2 UK review has been rebuilt around confirmed facts: the headphones are live on Soundcore UK at £129.99, with a 70-hour ANC-off battery claim, 50 hours with ANC on, LDAC support and a four-stage low-frequency ANC system. What we are not doing is pretending MTW has spent a week commuting, flying and testing call quality with a retail pair. This is an early buyer review based on official specifications, launch information and how the Space 2 fits against familiar UK alternatives.

Confirmed specs from Soundcore
Soundcore’s UK product page describes the Space 2 as comfortable noise-cancelling headphones with all-day wearing. The confirmed price is £129.99, and the official colour options shown on the UK page are Seafoam Green, Jet Black and Linen White. The page also confirms a pressure-relieving headband, slow-rebound memory-foam ear cushions and physical button controls.
The feature list is broad for this price: adaptive-style noise cancelling aimed at low-frequency travel noise, transparency mode, app control, EQ settings, dual connection over Bluetooth 6.1 and wearing detection. Soundcore also promotes AI call processing and built-in white-noise modes through its app.
Battery and charging claims
The headline battery claim is 70 hours with ANC off and 50 hours with ANC on. Soundcore says a 5-minute charge can add roughly 4 hours of listening with ANC off, based on its own lab conditions. That caveat matters: volume, codec, phone, environment and ANC use will change real-life endurance.
Even with that caution, the claimed stamina is competitive. Most UK buyers shopping below £150 want headphones that survive several commutes without becoming another nightly charging job. If Soundcore’s lab figures translate even roughly, Space 2 should clear that bar easily.
Audio, LDAC and ANC
Soundcore lists 40mm double-layer diaphragm drivers and says the headphones support Hi-Res Audio in wired mode and LDAC in wireless mode. LDAC is useful for Android users who care about higher-bitrate Bluetooth, though it still depends on phone support, app settings and the source file. iPhone users will not get LDAC.
The ANC pitch is travel-focused rather than studio-focused. Soundcore says the four-stage system targets low-frequency noise such as engine rumble and traffic. That is exactly where budget ANC should focus; voice chatter and sudden keyboard noise are harder to remove cleanly at this price.
UK rivals at £129.99
At £129.99, Space 2 sits above bargain ANC headphones but below Sony, Bose and Sennheiser flagships. UK buyers should compare it with the Sony WH-CH720N, JBL Tune 770NC, Soundcore Space One Pro sale pricing and occasional Bose QuietComfort discounts. The Space 2 argument is battery life plus features; Sony and Bose still have the stronger reputation for tuning and ANC consistency.
| Feature | Soundcore Space 2 | Buyer note |
| UK price | £129.99 | Mid-budget ANC territory |
| Battery | 70h ANC off, 50h ANC on | Official lab claim |
| Codec | LDAC, SBC, AAC | LDAC mainly helps Android users |
| Connection | Bluetooth 6.1 dual connection | Useful for laptop plus phone |
| Fast charge | 5 mins for about 4 hours | Claimed with ANC off |
Verdict
The Soundcore Space 2 looks like a sensible UK buy if you want long battery life, app control and stronger travel features without moving into £250-plus headphones. The official spec sheet is strong for £129.99, especially the 50-hour ANC-on battery claim and LDAC support. Our correction is about honesty: the previous article used hands-on language that was not supported. On confirmed facts, the Space 2 earns a place on the shortlist, but measured ANC and microphone performance should decide whether it beats Sony, JBL or a discounted Space One Pro.
FAQ
Is Soundcore Space 2 available in the UK?
Yes. Soundcore UK lists the Space 2 at £129.99, with the product page live when checked on 28 April 2026.
How long does the battery last?
Soundcore claims up to 70 hours with ANC off and up to 50 hours with ANC on. Those are lab figures, so real listening time will vary.
Does Space 2 support LDAC?
Yes, Soundcore lists LDAC wireless support and Hi-Res Audio support in wired mode. LDAC needs a compatible Android device and the right settings.
Is it better than Sony WH-CH720N?
On paper, Space 2 has a strong battery and feature set. Sony remains a safer known quantity for tuning and ANC, so check current UK prices before choosing.

Should I wait for discounts?
Probably, unless you need headphones now. Soundcore headphones often drop after launch, and £129.99 is close to sale pricing for some better-known rivals.
