soundcore Space 2 Black

I have used the headphones on the plane so far. I was comfortably in my own little bubble. It is also nice that you can take them off, for example if you have had to trudge through the airport in high temperatures ;)

After a long search and comparison with the JBL Live 780NC, I chose the Soundcore Space 2 for the lower price and good ANC options, and I am very satisfied. The construction feels sturdy and the headphones fold smoothly. I also really wanted a transparency mode for moments when I want to be able to hear my surroundings clearly, and that works very well too.

With the accompanying app, you can adjust the audio to personal and genre preferences, but I prefer using it phone-free. That is also the reason why I am slightly less enthusiastic about the ease of use. According to the app settings, you can skip forward and backward by pressing the volume button twice, but it requires holding it down for 2 seconds and the skipping happens with some delay. That makes skipping forward or backward quickly a bit cumbersome (and a reason to grab the phone after all).
