When ANC mode is enabled and the fit is not optimal (for example, there are audio delays or sound leakage), the headphones may consume more power, which can reduce battery life.
4. Check the Bluetooth audio codec.
Different Bluetooth codecs consume different amounts of power. Under similar usage conditions, LDAC streaming may reduce battery life by around 20% compared to SBC.
- Test different codecs to find the best balance between sound quality and battery life.
5. Check for additional features.
- Make sure features such as adaptive ANC or other app‑based enhancements are turned off if they are not needed, as they can increase power consumption.
6. Check charging conditions.
If the headphones are not charging fully, battery life may appear shorter. Check whether the charging contacts or port are dirty, as this could affect charging efficiency.
- Try using a different charging cable or power adapter to rule out charging issues.

Question 50

What should I do if my soundcore Space 2 won't charge?

Accepted Answer

1. Check the charging environment. Make sure the surrounding temperature is between 0 °C and 45°C (32°F to 113°F).  Charging outside this range may prevent the headphones from charging as expected.
2. Try another different charging cable or power adapter to see if the issue persists.
3. Use a suitable power adapter. We recommend using a 5V / 1A power adapter for charging.
Note: Using adapters with significantly higher output may affect charging stability and is not recommended.

Question 51

What should I do if the ANC performance on my soundcore Space 2 doesn't meet my expectations?

Accepted Answer

If you feel that the noise cancellation effect is not as effective as expected, please try the following:
1. Check the fit.
ANC performance relies heavily on a good physical seal. If the fit is loose or there are gaps, ambient noise may enter and reduce the effectiveness of noise cancellation.
- Ensure the ear cushions fit snugly against your head, especially around the edges where the ear cushions make contact with your skin.
2. Check the ANC status and level.
- Open the soundcore app and confirm that ANC mode is enabled. Make sure the noise cancellation level is set to an appropriate level for your environment.
3. Make sure there is no dust or debris blocking the microphone opening. 
The ANC microphones are usually located on the outer side of the headphones. 
- Gently clean the microphone area using a soft, dry cloth or adhesive pad.
Note: Avoid using liquid cleaners or sprays.
4. Test in different noise environments.
ANC is most effective at reducing low‑frequency noise (below approximately 1.2 kHz), such as airplane cabin noise, train noise, air conditioners hum, or background sound in office environments. It is less effective for higher‑frequency sounds, such as voices or sudden sharp noises. Testing in different environments can help you better understand how ANC performs.
5. Reset the headphones.
- Ensure the headphones are powered on.
- Press and hold the Power button and Volume \"\"+\"\" buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds. The red power LED will flash slowly 3 times, indicating that the factory reset process has begun.

Question 52

Why do I feel strong ear pressure when using ANC on my soundcore Space 2?

Accepted Answer

By default, ANC is enabled when the headphones are powered on, and the noise reduction depth is relatively effective. ANC may create a noticeable sensation of in-ear pressure, especially for users sensitive to pressure changes.
You can reduce this sensation by:
- Lowering the ANC level in the soundcore app, or
- Switching to a different mode if needed.

Question 53

Why do I hear a popping sound on my soundcore Space 2 when I am using ANC mode?

Accepted Answer

When using Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), you may occasionally notice a brief popping sound. This can happen in a few different situations and is related to changes in air pressure inside the ear cushions.
1. When squeezing the ear cushions
- The shape of the ear cushions change when they are pressed or squeezed, which temporarily alters the air pressure inside the ear cup chamber and causes a popping sound. This is normal and usually stops as soon as you release the ear cushion.
- If the sound continues even after releasing them, try adjusting the headphones.
2. When not touching the headphones
You may also hear a brief popping sound in ANC mode during certain movements, such as: riding in a car on uneven roads, walking downhill, or jumping or landing. These movements can momentarily change the effectiveness of the ear cushions' seal. The effect varies from person to person, depending on factors like fit and head shape.

To reduce this:
1. Adjust the headband to improve the overall fit.
2. Reposition the ear cushions so they sit more evenly and seal better against your head.
3. Reduce excessive movement.

Question 54

Why do I notice background noise or a humming sound when using ANC on my soundcore Space 2?

Accepted Answer

When Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is enabled, some users may notice slight background noise or a continuous humming sound. This behavior is related to how ANC works and how the headphones fit.

This happens because:
- Higher ANC levels may make low‑frequency background noise more noticeable as the system actively processes surrounding sounds.
- If the ear cushions do not have a good seal, you may hear a humming sound especially in environments with low‑frequency noise.
This effect can vary depending on head shape, ear‑cup positioning, and the surrounding environment.

To reduce this:
- Use a lower ANC level in the soundcore app.
- Adjust the headband and ear cup position so the ear cushions fit more closely and evenly against your head.

Question 55

Why does sound in Transparency mode sound louder than expected?

Accepted Answer

Transparency mode is designed to help you hear your surroundings clearly, so ambient sounds may be slightly amplified.
- Try using this mode in a quieter environment to verify if the volume is appropriate.

Question 56

What should I do if I can't find my soundcore Space 2 in the soundcore app?

Accepted Answer

If your Space 2 is already connected to your phone via Bluetooth but does not appear in the soundcore app, please follow these steps:
1. Download and install the soundcore app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
2. Make sure the headphones are successfully connected to your phone via Bluetooth.
3. Open the soundcore app.
4. On the home screen, tap Add Devices.
5. Select the headphones icon.
6. Choose soundcore Space 2 from the list to complete setup.

Question 57

What should I do if my soundcore Space 2 can't connect to the soundcore app?

Accepted Answer

1. Check dual‑device connection.
When the headphones are connected to two devices at the same time, the soundcore app can only connect on one device. Check whether the soundcore app is open or running in the background on both devices. If it is, close the app on one device (remove it from recent/background apps), then try connecting again on the device you want to use.
2. Check call status on iPhone.
If you are using an iPhone, the soundcore app may not connect properly while a phone call is active.
- End the call first, then reopen the soundcore app and try connecting again.

Question 58

Why doesn't the call sound quality improve after adjusting EQ settings in the soundcore app?

Accepted Answer

The EQ and sound settings in the soundcore app are designed to affect media playback only (e.g., music, videos, and podcasts).

Question 59

What should I do if the firmware update on my soundcore headphones fails?

Accepted Answer

1. Do not disconnect during the firmware update.
2. Do not disconnect from the network during the firmware update.
3. Do not close the app during the firmware update.
4. Ensure the headphones remain in standby during the firmware update.
5. Navigate to Phone Settings, access the application management interface, and clear the soundcore app cache.
6. Try updating again.

Question 60

Why Does My soundcore Space 2 Keep Showing \"Please Connect the soundcore App\" or \"no Internet connection\" ?

Accepted Answer

This notification appears when your headphones try to reach the soundcore App but can't find it — usually because the app has been closed or restricted from running in the background by your phone's battery settings.
 
This happens when one of the following features is enabled:
\"Hey Anka\" voice wake-up. When this is on, your headphones are always listening for the wake word. This requires the soundcore App to stay active in the background at all times.
MFB (Multi-Function Button) long-press set to Anka Voice Assistant. When you long-press the MFB to call the assistant, the headphones immediately look for the app. If it's not running in the background at that moment, the prompt appears.
Note: Both features are off by default on the soundcore Space 2. The notification only appears if you have enabled one of them.
 
How to Stop the Notification
If you don't use \"Hey Anka\" voice wake-up, turn it off:
Open the soundcore App.
Tap your soundcore Space 2 to open the device page.
Go to AI Chat Settings.
Toggle off \"Hey Anka\" Voice Wake-Up.
 
If you use the MFB long-press for Anka Voice Assistant, either keep the soundcore App running in the background, or change the long-press function to something else: go to Control Settings > Multi-Function Button > Long Press and select a different option (e.g. Native Voice Assistant, AI Translation, or Nap Mode).

Question 61

How should I maintain and care for my soundcore Space 2?

Accepted Answer

1. Clean daily/regularly.
During regular use, ear cushions may absorb sweat and skin oils.
- Clean the ear cushions periodically using 70 - 75% isopropyl alcohol or a slightly damp cloth. Allow them to dry completely before use.
2. Replace the ear cushions.
To remove: Hold the long edge of the ear cushion, gently push inward until a gap appears, then lift straight up.
To install: Align the mounting tabs with the headphone slots and press downward until secure. Gently pull to confirm the ear cushions are properly attached.
3. Keep the charging port clean.
Dust or debris may cause poor contact or local overheating.
- Clean the charging port regularly using a dry, soft brush or pointed cotton swab.
4. Avoid moisture.
The headphones are not waterproof. If liquid enters the headphones, stop using them immediately to avoid damage or safety risks.\"
5. Recharge regularly.
Recharge the battery at least once every 6 months to prevent deep discharge.\"
6. Position properly over the ears.
Pressing firmly on the ear cushions while wearing them may cause brief airflow sounds or a clicking noise from the speaker diaphragm.
This is normal.
7. Use a 5V / 1A power adapter for charging. Standard USB‑C cables are also compatible.
Note: Charging via a USB port on a computer may result in longer charging times.
