Anker has finally announced a sequel to its fantastic, affordable wireless headphones, the Soundcore Space 2.

Available on April 21 for $129, these wireless headphones offer improved full-band noise cancellation and upgraded 40mm drivers for improved sound quality. These new double-layer drivers combine a silk diaphragm with metal-ceramic materials that produce a faster transient response. This results in more accurate and balanced sound reproduction.
