The Anker Soundcore Space A40 are good for traveling and commuting. Their adjustable ANC system makes it very easy for them to block out the low rumble of bus and plane engines. They fit well and are small and light enough that you can put them in most pockets and bags when you’re on the go. They can even run for more than eight hours straight, and their carrying case has room for four more charges if you need them.
The round Space A40 earpieces come in glossy black, white, or navy blue. They fit easily and make a good seal in the ear without the need for ear-fins. The package comes with five pairs of silicone eartips in XS, S, M, L, and XL sizes.
The frequency range of the 10mm dynamic drivers on the inside is from 20Hz to 40KHz. The earbuds work with Bluetooth 5.2 and are compatible with the AAC, LDAC, and SBC codecs, but not AptX. With support for the audiophile-friendly LDAC codec, this pair joins the likes of Sony’s high-end WF-1000XM4 and Technics’ EAH-AZ60 in an exclusive club. Android devices are the only ones that can use LDAC, so iPhone users still have to use AAC.

Where to get Soundcore by Anker Space A40?
The gray outer panels of the earpieces are matte and have the Soundcore logo on them. They are also where the capacitive touch settings are located. Out of the box, the setup of the controls isn’t the best. Tap twice on the left earpiece to control playing, or tap twice on the right earpiece to go one track forward. Both ears can be used to answer calls with the same motion. When you press either earpiece for two seconds, you can switch between ANC, Transparency, and All Off. In single-ear mono mode, you can’t skip through tracks, but all the other settings are the same.
You can add more settings, like a single tap, through the app. On either earbud, you can change the volume, skip tracks, and play music. There are also more advanced choices, like calling up a voice assistant, turning on the gaming mode, or turning on the ambient sound mode. You can also use the tap-and-hold motion to do any of these things.
