What buyers say
Best ANC I've heard under $100
I was skeptical about budget ANC earbuds but the Space A40 completely changed my mind. Commuting on trains is now silent bliss, and the sound quality with LDAC turned on is fantastic.
Great sound, touch controls need work
Audio quality and battery life are excellent, I get almost two full days without needing the case. My only gripe is accidentally triggering touch controls when adjusting the fit.
Impressive battery and comfort
These stay in my ears comfortably for hours and the battery genuinely lasts as advertised. The app EQ presets let me tune the sound exactly how I like it.
Solid daily driver
Great for gym and office use. ANC handles background chatter well, though it's not quite as strong as pricier competitors. Still fantastic value overall.
