Soundcore Space 2

A home office is rarely quiet: a dishwasher, a barking dog or a partner on another call. Noise-cancelling headphones close that out, and the Space 2 does it without the price of the flagship models, at a $129.99 list price. At about 261 grams they are light enough to wear through a full workday, and multipoint keeps them connected to a laptop and a phone at once. In independent testing they ran for more than 53 hours with noise cancelling on, which means charging them about once a week. The microphone sounds clear and natural in a quiet room, so they work for calls as well as music.
