These are the Soundcore Space A40 True Wireless Earbuds.
They're a brand new, freshly announced pair true wireless earbuds that are a part of Soundcore's
new Space Series.
This series was designed to give you quiet time.
You know, ultimate personal space with great sound, fantastic noise cancellation, long
battery life, multipoint Bluetooth connection and most importantly, a price that isn't going
to break the bank.
Soundcore claims that the Space A40 can reduce the noise around you by up to 98% and run
for as long as 50 hours per charge - 10 from the buds and 50 total with the charging case.
Those are some bold claims for a pair of wireless earbuds that come in at a budget price.
These specs however are very similar to Soundcore's other new headset in the Space Series, the
Space Q45, which I reviewed a few days back.
The difference, of course, is that the A40 are earbuds and the Q45 is a traditional headset,
which some people might better prefer more for travel and things like that.
Back to the A40, these buds shine bright in a field full of expensive wireless earbuds
and most of the others don't even come close to delivering the insane value that the A40
do.
I mean, on top of it all, the charging case even has wireless charging.
Soundcore really thought these things through.
Before we get into my full review though, let's rewind a little bit to a quick unboxing!
So a few weeks ago, Soundcore sent me an incredible introductory surprise package to celebrate
the launch of the new Space Series.
Inside, there were the new Space A40 wireless earbuds, the Space Q45 over the ear headphones
and a passport holder.
Which I thought was a cool touch because these things are designed with travel in mind.
If you want to see more of the Space Q45 headphones I have a full review on them up on my channel
that you can check out.
Spoiler alert - they're awesome.
So in the box with the A40, you'll find the headphones themselves, some documentation,
a USB-C charging cable and a bunch of different sized eartips to help you get the right fit.
Each bud also has a built-in touch panel for changing songs, adjusting the volume and all
of that.
These earbuds are mostly made of plastic but they don't feel one bit cheap or flimsy.
The earbuds themselves are extremely lightweight and are very comfortable to wear for long
periods of time.
The charging case is also quite small and has a nice, smooth finish to it.
The thing that I really like is how the lid elegantly opens and closes.
It's a little thing but the case is near silent when it snaps shut.
It's not a loud click or snap sound like AirPods or other earbud cases make.
Overall, these are a very good looking, well designed pair of earbuds.
As far as sound quality goes, the Space A40 deliver big time.
The bass is deep with clear mids and bright highs.
If you're familiar with newer Soundcore earbuds, you'll know what to expect here.
These things sound amazing plus they have support for the high-res LDAC codec, which
only high-end earbuds that are more then twice the price of these have.
With Space A40, you also have access to the Soundcore companion app which allows you fine
tune the sound to your liking with a number of presets and equalizers to get it just right.
One thing about Soundcore headphones is that they are highly customizable.
I really love that.
When it comes to noise cancellation, the Space A40 do a really great job of blocking out
the world around you.
Now, I'm not able to measure that 98% number that Soundcore claims but when you have these
things in and play some tunes, there's very little ambient noise that comes through.
I wasn't able to test them on a plane like I was with the Q45 but it seems like they
would fare well for travel.
I used them at the gym a few times, which is quite loud and they were fantastic.
You just have to make sure that they are securely in your ears to get the full seal out of them.
In addition to sound and noise cancellation, the Space A40 are surprisingly really good
for calls.
These earbuds have 6 microphones built-in and use an AI algorithm to find voices and
block out other noises going on around you.
Whenever I made or got a call, the experience was great.
One of my favorite features of both the Space series headphones is that they have multi-point
Bluetooth connection.
This means that you can pair them with two devices and not have to disconnect them and
pair them with a new device.
If you use a lot of tech, this is a gamechanger.
I have the Space A40 paired with my iPhone and Nintendo Switch and connecting these earbuds
to either of those is seamless.
This is one of those features that needs to make its way to every headphone like ever.
And lastly, the final thing for us to talk about in this review is battery life.
Battery life is an area where the Space A40 shine.
The buds themselves are rated at 10 hours per charge and adding in the charging case
will get you around 50 hours total per charge.
Those are incredibly high numbers for a pair of budget earbuds but Soundcore is known to
deliver.
I've been using the A40 for about two weeks now and battery life is something that I haven't
had an issue with.
In fact, I only charged them once since I took them out of the box.
I've been using them at the gym with ANC on, making calls, casually listening to music
and more.
It's great stuff.
As I mentioned before, these also have wireless charging built-in so you can charge them that
way or by USB-C so you have a few options to always be powered up.
At the end of the day, the new Soundcore Space A40 are fantastic, affordable pair of true
wireless earbuds that literally do it and are not going to break the bank.
Soundcore has been on a major hot streak releasing headphones that offer a lot of bang for your
buck - and the Space A40 are no exception.
They sound amazing, offer incredible active noise cancellation, have phenomenal battery
life, they're incredible versatile with that multi-point connection and are comfortable
to wear for long periods of time.
These are all of the key ingredients that make for a solid pair of wireless earbuds
that are easy for me to recommend.
The best thing about these things though is of course, the fact that they offer all of
these features at an affordable price point.
In a world full of expensive tech, the Space A40 shine bright.
These are a fantastic pair of buds!
