We love many of Anker’s products because it offers some of the best value noise-canceling headphones around, especially compared with similar midrange brands. The combination of quality and affordability makes many Anker headphones a good buy anytime of year, but it also means they can make a great holiday gift for almost anyone on your shopping list.

Now, one of our favorite models of affordable noise-canceling headphones, Anker’s Soundcore Space One, can be yours for less than usual. Best Buy is taking $30 off of the regular price, bringing them down to just $70. But act quickly if you want to lock in this price, because this deal can expire anytime. Prefer Amazon? The headphones are also on sale there for only $69.
These headphones are our editors’ top pick for noise-canceling headphones that offer a good value, thanks to their good sound quality and performance. One feature that we like, similar to Sony’s Speak-to-Chat, is called Easy Chat. The headphones will automatically pause when you start a conversation with someone and enter transparency mode, giving you a hands-free experience. That means no more scrambling to pause or lower the audio volume to hear who is talking to you.
They also have wear-detection sensors, which is something not often seen in affordable headphones. They have a battery life of up to 55 hours, so you can listen without worrying about needing to charge them quickly. And, although very comfortable to wear, the only downside to these is that they look a tad bulky.
Will this item arrive in time for Christmas?
If you’re ordering this as a holiday gift, you probably want to know if it’s going to arrive on time. With Christmas and Hanukkah both taking place on Dec. 25 this year, and Kwanzaa kicking off the day after, it’s important to note shipping deadlines for USPS, FedEx, UPS, Amazon and others.
If you order these headphones from Amazon, they will come in time for Christmas. They should arrive by the end of the week, especially if you have Amazon Prime. For Best Buy, the shipping window is still open as well and these headphones should arrive in time for Christmas. Pickup options for Best Buy vary. If the headphones are available at a store near you, you can pick them up in person for the same price, but timing varies depending on the store.
