They also deliver more accurate sound performance thanks to various design upgrades, while retaining many of the same features that made the Sound One sound so good for the price, including support for high-resolution LDAC audio. You also still get access to HearID 3.0, which lets you personalize the sound by listening to a series of samples and adjusting accordingly.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Battery life is another welcome improvement. The Space 2 can last up to 50 hours with ANC enabled or 70 hours with it switched off, up from 40 and 55 hours, respectively, on the original. And when your battery dies, you can still use the equipped 3.5mm jack for wired listening. They&#8217;ll also automatically pause playback when you take them off, which is handy when you need to step away without losing your place in a song or podcast.</p>
