I found the interface very nice and ergonomic. I'll end this section with a special mention for the Soundcore companion application. The only hitch was that when I juggled between ANC, normal and transparency modes, I noticed noticeable changes in the audio signature, especially in the bass. Only a few shouts and other laughs occasionally slipped through the cracks. The Soundcore Space Q45 incorporates 4 microphones for noise reduction (ANC) / © NextPitĮven the voices of the press representatives talking around me were well attenuated when they are usually more difficult to handle. With Adaptive ANC enabled, almost all structure-borne noise (which results from contact with a surface) and low-frequency noise was properly cancelled. Music was blaring from the speakers in the room. Hordes of nerds and sales people were walking around me. Specifically, I was at the Anker booth in a large hall at IFA. You don't feel like you're wearing 150 dollar headphones. But I was really surprised by the quality of the noise reduction. I obviously can't compare the effectiveness of Anker's ANC to that of Sony, Bose or Sennheiser from memory alone. The Soundcore Space Q45 offers an adaptive active noise reduction (ANC) feature as well as a transparency mode, both of which rely on the use of four built-in microphones. A companion application that, by the way, has a very nice interface and seems very complete. In any case, the frequency range covered by the headphones gives you enough freedom to tweak the equalizer in the application and adjust the sound profile to your taste. The headphones offer a BassUp function to boost the bass, but you can really do without it, especially since the audio rendering loses clarity. But its bandwidth also goes up very high (40 kHz against 20 kHz in general on other headphones), so we can have a lot of amplitude in the high mids and highs. In any case the headset is quite low, generous in the bass. In terms of audio quality, I obviously can't give a definitive opinion given my very short session of use in far from optimal conditions.

On the other hand, the lack of support for aptX is a shame since this codec is more widespread on Android smartphones. The only support of the codec LDAC of Sony allows the Soundcore Space Q45 to stand out from its competitors from Bose and Sennheiser.

The Soundcore Space Q45 features 40mm drivers with a bandwidth of 20-40,000Hz, Bluetooth 5.3 and support for AAC, SBS LDAC codecs but strangely not aptX. The Soundcore Space Q45 has 40 mm drivers / © NextPit The last negative point: the absence of a wearable sensor, although very practical. Especially since the headset seems to be solid, especially in terms of its rotating and folding hinges. And personally, I prefer them to be made on visual elements rather than technical ones. But at $150, you have to expect some concessions.
Overall, I have some reservations about the overuse of plastic. The Soundcore Space Q45's ear pads are very comfortable / © NextPit The headset weighs 295 g, which is not exactly light, but I didn't feel any discomfort during my short listening session. But leatherette is not a very breathable material and sweat can accumulate. The cushions of the headband and the earpieces are very comfortable and well padded. The arms of the headband are hidden, we lose a little the mechanical look that I like very much but we move to a more discreet style or "seemless" where nothing breaks the curve of the design. But the matte black coating is very clean with a nice tone-on-tone detail finish. The headphones are made almost entirely of plastic. The Soundcore Space Q45 has a round, curved design with matte plastic / © NextPit Unlike last year's model, the Soundcore Space Q45 does not have a touch surface. The left earpiece hosts the power, pairing and ANC/transparency button while the right one hosts the playback and call control buttons. The earpieces are slightly larger which allows them to encompass the ears.

And although we are on a full plastic design, the look of the headset remains quite premium and elegant. The Soundcore Space Q45 presents some notable visual changes compared to the previous model.
