Soundcore Space One with ANC
Score: 83/100
Nothing Wireless Earbuds
Score: 81/100Rankings
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 weight and lack of water-resistance are the main trade-offs. Ideal for budget-conscious commuters who need long-lasting ANC.
The Nothing Ear are true-wireless earbuds offering high-resolution audio with LDAC/LHDC support and a featherlight 4.8 g design. They trade off modest maximum volume and ANC performance that falls short of its 45 dB claim. Ideal for users seeking lightweight comfort, dual-device switching, and customizable sound.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
Professional reviewers commend the Space One for delivering high-end features such as adaptive ANC, long battery life, and LDAC-enabled Hi-Res audio at a sub-$100 price point, describing it as a strong value proposition in the budget noise-cancelling segment.
The source data does not contain specific user reviews, so everyday consumer sentiment cannot be directly quoted. However, the product's positioning as affordable, long-lasting, and feature-rich suggests a generally positive reception among budget-conscious buyers.
“They get plenty loud for most situations, and I think most people will be fine with the volume on this, but if you need like extremely loud earbuds, these might not have enough power for you.”
Professional reviewers commend the Nothing Ear for delivering standout sound quality, a lively and spacious soundstage, and a featherlight fit at a mid-range price. The low-latency gaming mode and robust app customization are also praised. However, they note that the active noise cancellation falls short of its 45 dB claim and that the maximum volume may be insufficient for power-hungry listeners.
Everyday users repeatedly highlight the earbuds' eye-catching transparent design, lightweight comfort, strong sound quality, and generous battery life. Common praise centers on the customizable app and reliable call performance, while recurring complaints focus on modest maximum volume, ANC that doesn't meet marketing numbers, and limited ear-tip size differentiation.
