Soundcore Space One with ANC
Score: 83/100
CMF by Nothing Headphone Pro
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Space One is an over-ear headphone that pairs adaptive ANC with LDAC Hi-Res audio and a 40-hour ANC battery life. Its main trade-offs are a lack of water-resistance and a relatively heavy build. It best fits budget-conscious commuters who want long playback and solid ANC.
The CMF Headphone Pro by Nothing combines adaptive ANC, up to 100 hours of playback and LDAC Hi-Res support in a budget-friendly package. While the battery and feature set excel, the stock sound profile lacks balance and the ANC leaks higher frequencies. Perfect for budget-conscious listeners seeking long life and Android Hi-Res streaming.

“Capable for price”
Professional reviewers praise the CMF Headphone Pro for delivering premium-class battery life, LDAC Hi-Res support and a comfortable, glasses-friendly fit at a very low price. They commend the adaptive ANC's strong low-frequency reduction and the novelty of a hardware EQ slider, while noting that the ANC leaks high-frequency sounds and the limited 3-band EQ falls short of audiophile expectations.
Everyday users consistently highlight the exceptional battery endurance, comfort for long wear sessions, and the convenience of the quick-access bass/treble slider. Common complaints revolve around the recessed mids and harsh treble, occasional high-frequency ANC leakage, and the desire for a more powerful EQ and confirmed USB-C audio capability.
