Anker Japan has released the "Soundcore Space 2" wireless headphones under its audio and visual brand "Soundcore," with sales starting on April 27, 2026[1]. Positioned as the new standard model in the Space series, the headphones feature Anker's proprietary noise cancelling technology and up to 50 hours of continuous playback. The price is 16,990 yen including tax, and the headphones come in three colors: black, off-white, and mint blue[1].

The New Standard Model in the Space Series

The Soundcore Space 2 is a pair of wireless headphones offered by Anker Japan, the Japanese arm of the Anker Group, under its audio and visual brand "Soundcore"[1]. The company positions the product as the new standard model for wireless headphones within the Space series.

The headphones are sold through a wide range of channels, including the dedicated page on the Anker Japan official online store[2], the company's own Anker Store outlets, Amazon.co.jp, Rakuten Ichiba, and some consumer electronics retailers[1]. The price is 16,990 yen including tax.

A Design Based on Head Data From 2,000 People

One of the Space 2's key features is a design that emphasizes wearing comfort. According to Anker Japan, the headband is designed based on head data from more than 2,000 people and on ergonomic principles, with a structure that follows the shape of the head[1]. By increasing the contact area, the design distributes the load during wear and aims for a silhouette and fit that naturally follow the head.

In terms of weight, the headphones are about 10 percent lighter than the Soundcore Space Q45, the predecessor model[1]. The headband and ear pads use soft, comfortable low-rebound cushioning. The design goal is to deliver a fit that remains comfortable even during long listening sessions.

The headphones come in three colors: black, off-white, and mint blue. The lineup ranges from subdued tones to lighter shades, so users can choose based on their fashion preferences and use cases[1].

Noise Cancelling 3.5 and a 40mm Driver

Sound quality and quietness are also areas that the Space 2 emphasizes. The product features Anker's proprietary "Ultra Noise Cancelling 3.5"[1]. This mechanism optimizes the strength of the noise cancelling in real time according to the surrounding environment, and it is designed for use in places where noise levels change easily, such as inside trains during a commute or at a cafe.

The driver that produces the sound is a large 40mm driver that uses a dual-layer composite diaphragm[1]. The headphones also support the high-quality LDAC codec, so when paired with compatible devices, listeners can enjoy sound with more detail. Anker Japan says the headphones can reproduce clear sound that is faithful to the original source with minimal distortion.

LDAC is a high-quality wireless codec developed by Sony that can transmit more audio information than conventional standard codecs. Its advantage is that it can deliver high-resolution audio sources over a wireless connection in a form relatively close to the original.

Up to 50 Hours of Playback and a Range of Convenient Features

In terms of battery performance, the headphones support up to 50 hours of music playback with noise cancelling turned on[1]. Playback time varies depending on volume and usage conditions, but this is a level that allows several days of use without charging.

The headphones also support fast charging, with about 5 minutes of charging providing up to 4 hours of playback[1]. Even if a user notices a low battery just before going out, a short charge can secure a certain amount of playback time.

In addition, the headphones support a wear detection feature that automatically pauses music when the headphones are removed and resumes playback when they are put back on, as well as multipoint connection that allows simultaneous pairing with two devices[1]. For calls, three microphones and AI noise reduction improve call quality, resulting in a configuration that emphasizes everyday convenience. The wear detection feature must be enabled in advance through the Soundcore app[1].

Summary

The Soundcore Space 2 is the new standard model in the Space series, packaging features such as Ultra Noise Cancelling 3.5, a large 40mm driver, LDAC support, and up to 50 hours of playback into a price point of 16,990 yen including tax. With a design focused on wearing comfort, along with fast charging and multipoint connection, it also offers elements that make it easy to use for daily commuting. For anyone looking for noise cancelling headphones at an accessible price, it is likely to become one of the strong options.
