Oh, this is the new Anchor Soundcore Space 2 Pro.
2
You ready?
3
Let's go.
4
Let's go.
5
welcome back to the brandon od channel i'm your host brandon where we talk today's tech
6
and boy do i have some exciting news soundcore is releasing three brand new products
7
and you might have noticed Anker is now going in front of the Soundcore name.
8
That's because Anker has been the main center of all the Soundcore and Eufy products that I've reviewed in the past.
9
I guess they finally wanted some recognition as they should.
10
So let's dive in to the brand new Space 2 Pro Bluetooth headphones.
11
Coming in the box we have a full user manual.
12
We're also getting a USB -C to a usbc charging cable
13
and a three and a half millimeter auxiliary cable as well
14
and i didn't see a case
15
but anchor did throw in a dust bag it's a thicker fabric on the outside
16
and has this nice felt within
17
and you have two drawstrings to cinch it up now of course this will keep the dust at bay
18
but any elevated drops, not so much.
19
Finally, let's take a look at the star of the show, the new Anker Soundcore Space 2 Pros.
20
A super nice feel.
21
I mean, very, very soft.
22
It's like everywhere you grab has this faux, soft, cushy leather wrapping.
23
Now, I do see some matte black plastic on the outer ear cubs
24
but yes a ton of soft leather
25
and memory foam located here on both the right
26
and left inner cups
27
and we also see it here on the headband oh that's
28
nice now we have anchor stamped on both sides here
29
and here and it is adjustable for the ones with larger melons
30
and you can also rotate it to fold it out of the way
31
or for stowing now on the inside of the ear channels we see the letter r
32
and l for identifying i love that and
33
if you notice there's a sensor located here on the left side
34
that is for the ai wearing id more on
35
that in a bit all right taking a look at the right side controls we have a volume rocker plus
36
or minus under that is the play
37
and pause button now switching over to the left side we
38
see the noise canceling mode here next is your Bluetooth and power on and off switch side by side.
39
Under that is an LED light and then we have the USB -C charging port
40
and finally the three and a half millimeter auxiliary input.
41
Now as far as sensors
42
and microphones go we get three mics on each ear cup found here
43
and two more here and here
44
and we get a couple of sensors found at the top on each end here
45
and here all right time to check out the fit very light very flexible love that and oh yes oh
46
those are light but very comfortable uh of course you guys probably want to see
47
that without a pair of glasses and of course a hat we'll go ahead
48
and do that for you do not make this bald spot okay you wait till you get old now
49
that looks really good they're not too big not
50
that mickey mouse look i like to say
51
but yeah this is how they're gonna look they're nice
52
and comfortable and you know wow they're not even turned on
53
and it already muffles the sound so this has got a good depth of ear cappage, if you will.
54
And of course, if you have a larger cranium, you have adjustments on both sides.
55
Makes it nice and convenient.
56
Okay, time to nerd out and go over the specs.
57
Like the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pros and 5 Pro Max that I reviewed,
58
the new Anker Soundcore lineup has the stellar Thuss AI chip inside.
59
So yes, the Space 2 Pro's key feature is definitely crystal clear calls.
60
The headphone sport, six sensors plus the Thuss chip runs,
61
an AI model trained on massive real scene data to precisely separate your voice from all the annoying background environments.
62
So yeah, it's not just good, it's the best.
63
And of course, a mic test will be the proof in the pudding.
64
And why wouldn't the Space 2 Pros be the best noise -canceling headphones out there?
65
With the Liberty 5 Pro and 5 Pro Max hitting the Guinness World Records in being the clearest earbuds for calls,
66
why not have it in their pair of headphones? with their adaptive ANC 3 .0 and lossless features.
67
Also sporting high -res and high -res wireless audio with LDAC.
68
Now, this is just the call clarity.
69
What's driving them is their 35mm composite drivers.
70
Now, when it comes to battery, we're getting 60 hours of playtime.
71
Now, that's with ANC off, of course.
72
Cut that in half with it turned on and get yourself 30 hours of playtime.
73
Now, that's not half bad.
74
no pun intended.
75
Also coming with Bluetooth 6 .1 and dual device connection.
76
And it's equipped with Google Fast Pairing for all you Android users and AI translation.
77
And lastly, we get the newly remodeled Anker Soundcore app.
78
Let's take a look.
79
Tap on Anker Soundcore, hit Space 2 Pro, let it connect.
80
Okay, let's take a look at settings first.
81
We have wearing detection.
82
Now turning this on will play
83
and pause the headphones that's what i was talking about earlier
84
when removing the headphones it'll pause you put it back on your melon it'll play
85
and there's also a calibration setting in here
86
if you need it sweet feature you're definitely going to love it we have voice prompt you have low battery
87
and ambient sounds that you can turn on
88
or off now ai chat setting it's it's like siri
89
or google assist in anchor form next is your dual connection
90
that's going to be for your multi -point auto power off now defaults to five hours
91
but there's 30 minutes one or three hours
92
or never power off at all i think i'll stick with
93
the five hours beginner's guide uh this is going to be
94
used for mainly noobs who are new to anchor soundcore app features
95
and same goes for the usage tips as well
96
but hey you don't need any of it that's what you
97
have me here for now we got device name you can make it whatever you want
98
and lastly most important update firmware just make sure you're current okay let's go ahead
99
and jump back to the home screen at the top we
100
see a nice 3d icon of the headphones along with the space 2 pro name under
101
that is the battery percent bar okay looking at the anc modes we start out with noise cancellation first
102
and just under it we have mode in here we're able
103
to adjust the intensity from max to minimum depending on the
104
level of noise you're experiencing next is normal mode then transparency that'll be great for those evening walks or jogs
105
and you want to be able to hear your surroundings around you now we also get wind noise on
106
or off when it comes to bikes e -bikes e -scooters got both it's one of those features
107
that come in super clutch hear id you can take a
108
quick walkthrough i encourage it we also have six curated sound effects or custom
109
if you like to fine tune it yourself in here use
110
eight eq bands to adjust lastly we have spatial audio on or off controls gives you the option to assign the single,
111
double, and long presses for both the NC and MFB buttons.
112
Smart voice control.
113
Now, that's going to be for setting up ANCA, Siri or your Google Assist.
114
But keep in mind, it's a total battery abuser when using it.
115
Next is safe volume.
116
That's for the sensitive ears.
117
Personally, I never mess with it okay
118
that is your complete tour of the brand new anchor soundcore
119
amazing app features all right it's time for a music test
120
but first we need to hear a word of today's sponsor If you're a content creator looking for that next song title,
121
Artlist has a plethora of songs to choose from.
122
Or how about those sound effects that you hear in all my videos?
123
What about that perfect stock footage you've been looking for?
124
Artlist and Artgrid have it all for your creative needs.
125
Fam, I'm telling you, if you're on the hunt for an awesome royalty -free music platform,
126
Artlist has everything you would ever need to create your next project.
127
You can find all the details and my discounts down in the description below.
128
Check it out.
129
Okay, time for that music test, I promised.
130
The song is called Nothing Feels the Same by Noam Kohan.
131
Ready?
132
Here we go.
133
Oh, man.
134
Oh, I can hear all around like that.
135
Wow.
136
I just turned the ANC on.
137
It sounded good with the transparency on.
138
Oh, I got to get up.
139
Oh, man.
140
Okay.
141
All right.
142
Wow.
143
first off i gotta say that was so clean the highs
144
and mids were
145
so finely tuned crystal clear the bass that's a whole another topic okay let's just go into
146
that mic test real quick first before i get too carried
147
away here i've got to hear what an award -winning crystal clear calling pair of headphones sound like.
148
This is what it would be like sitting in an office.
149
It's a very quiet office, mind you.
150
I only have the fan going and the PC, so it's really not the best test to find out how well the ANC performs.
151
So that's why I'm going to provide you with a very noisy environment of a coffee shop.
152
Let's play that first before the ANC engages.
153
It should sound like this.
154
that's actually how loud it is about the same as what a coffee shop would sound like
155
if you're sitting in there doing your work drinking a coffee what have you now let's go ahead
156
and engage these
157
and show you the real deal like this how is it
158
performing i know it's going to perform good i haven't even been in post to check
159
and i already know it's going to be awesome but for you on the other end,
160
you're experiencing the best of the best in call quality.
161
I'll be right back to give you my opinion.
162
Do I really need to even say it?
163
Okay, I will.
164
What you just witnessed is by far the best of the best in phone call clarity.
165
Any environment, doesn't matter.
166
Doesn't matter how loud, these are going to do the job.
167
So if you're in the market for a pair of headphones that'll handle all your phone calls in any environment, in the office, bus station,
168
airplane, anywhere, loud coffee shop, these right here are your ticket.
169
All right, time for my pros
170
and cons next pro number one definitely is going to the call quality of course it is
171
that is one of the key features of the space 2 pro it sounded
172
so good when i didn't have the coffee shop engaged of course
173
but when i tested that it completely canceled out the noise i mean completely you couldn't hear a peep.
174
I was impressed.
175
I really was.
176
Pro number two, it's going to the soundstage.
177
With the 35mm composite dynamic drivers, the sound test pushed the limits.
178
The bass was punchy and it hit right here, where I like it to be.
179
The highs and mids were so crisp and clean, which actually brings me to pro number three.
180
The Anker Soundcore app.
181
To be able to jump in there
182
and mess around with all the available settings to tweak the EQ
183
and get such good sound it just adds the cherry on top.
184
Now I know that not everything is perfect in this world and that goes for the Space 2 Pros as well.
185
Con number one no hard shell case included.
186
Yes they give us a dust pouch of course but honestly
187
that is not going to protect it from any falls
188
or traveling that's when you're going to want to put these away is for traveling
189
and this pouch yeah like i said it's going to keep the dust off
190
but it's not going to protect them
191
which by the way brings me to con number two the
192
price yes for the price i felt there should have been
193
at least a hard shell case involved these are expensive wireless bluetooth headphones okay they're not cheap by any means
194
and that's why we're going to talk about
195
that next in retail selling for $199 .99 oh and looky here
196
if you sign up early you might be able to grab
197
yourself a hard shell case after all I still think it
198
should have been included you can pick in jet black like the one i have here
199
or there's also linen white
200
and midnight gray now of course i can't see the amazon link until launch day
201
but as far as any discount codes
202
that i can provide you right now i don't have them i'm sorry
203
but if and when i do get them you'll be the first to know I promise.
204
Question.
205
Is the brand new Anker Soundcore Space 2 Pros worth the $200 price tag?
206
Yeah, I would say.
207
Absolutely.
208
I mean, with the features that it comes with and the sound, I would definitely say yes.
209
Would I like to see a sale?
210
Hell yes, I would.
211
Wouldn't we all?
212
So again, if there is any, I'll have it down in my description.
213
Let's get you out of here with a fortune and what could
214
that fortune be i'm gonna find out right now oh the
215

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
