Over-ear headphones for less than 1,300 CZK? These boast long battery life, great features, and fantastic reviews

Wireless headphones with ANC for a few hundred usually mean compromises in sound quality or battery life. Soundpeats Space Pro are now available for 1,292 CZK instead of 1,699 CZK and offer features you’d expect from more expensive models. They boast top-notch battery life, adaptive ANC, and LDAC codec support.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you want quality wireless listening with LDAC and ANC without paying thousands.
⚠️ Consider if you require premium materials or need headphones for intense physical activity.
💡 For 1,292 CZK you get Hi-Res audio, adaptive ANC, and over 100 hours of battery life – which is exceptional in this price category.

Why these headphones are interesting

Soundpeats Space Pro targets users who want quality wireless listening without overpaying. The main draw is the support for the LDAC codec, which transmits up to three times more data than standard SBC – in practice, this means significantly more detailed sound if you have a source with Hi-Res content. Add to that adaptive hybrid ANC with attenuation up to 47 dB, and you get features that would easily cost double with competitors.

The second strong argument is the incredible battery life – the manufacturer states up to 151 hours without ANC. Even with active noise cancellation, users report over 70 hours of listening. And when you run out of juice, just 5 minutes of charging provides another 4 hours of listening.

Sound and Technology

The headphones use dual drivers – a 40mm bass and a 10mm treble driver on each side. The frequency range of 20–40,000 Hz covers the entire audible spectrum with a reserve for Hi-Res content. The Hi-Res Audio Wireless certification confirms that the headphones can play high-quality lossless formats.

Bluetooth 5.4 ensures a stable connection over a longer distance and supports multipoint – you can be connected to two devices simultaneously. For gamers, there’s a gaming mode with 77 ms latency, which is a sufficiently low value for most games. You can also connect via USB-C or a 3.5mm jack, so the headphones work even without battery.

ANC and Calls

Adaptive hybrid ANC automatically adjusts the level of noise cancellation according to the surrounding environment. In practice, this means it attenuates more on a train than in a quiet office. The headphones also offer a transparent mode, which lets in ambient sounds – useful when you need to hear announcements at the station or a colleague.

For phone calls, there are integrated microphones with ENC technology, which filters out ambient noise, including wind. It’s not a substitute for a professional headset, but it’s sufficient for regular calls while traveling.

Comfort and Design

The earcups are soft and comfortable with low pressure on the ears – several reviewers describe them as the most comfortable headphones they’ve ever worn. The closed over-ear design isolates from the surroundings even without ANC activated. The headphones have IPX4 certification, so they can handle sweat or light rain.

However, a weakness must also be mentioned: the construction is plastic and does not appear premium at first glance. Some users report concerns about long-term durability, especially regarding the earcup joints. But for a price under 1,300 CZK, this is an understandable compromise.

What users say

On Alza, the headphones have a rating of 4.6 out of 5 (24 ratings) and 92% of customers recommend them. Most often, people praise the excellent price/performance ratio, sound quality thanks to LDAC, and extreme battery life. One reviewer compared them to Bowers & Wilkins Px8 for 11,000 CZK, stating that they “don’t lag behind that much”. They also positively evaluate the Peats Audio app with a 6-band equalizer.

However, there are also reservations. Several users mention that ANC occasionally crackles with louder sounds or sudden movement – one reviewer called this a significant problem. Others point out the plastic appearance of the construction, and one user reported a broken joint after wearing them around the neck. The app requires registration, which bothers some people.

When it doesn’t make sense

If you require premium materials and metal construction, Soundpeats Space Pro will disappoint you – they are simply plastic. Also, if you need headphones for intense sports activities with a lot of movement, ANC crackling during impacts can be an issue. And if you are used to luxury brands and expect identical sound performance, you will have to make compromises – albeit smaller than you might expect.

Verdict: who it’s worth it for

Soundpeats Space Pro for 1,292 CZK are an ideal choice for those who want quality wireless listening with ANC and LDAC without paying several thousands. Over 100 hours of battery life, comfortable earcups, and decent sound make these headphones an excellent choice for travel or home office. However, expect a plastic construction and occasional ANC crackling during sudden movements.
