When students willingly spend $400 on headphones like the Bose QuietComforts, Apple AirPods Max, and Sony WH-1000MX6, I get a little confused. Why spend many money when few money do trick? (Please tell me you get that reference, or I just look like I can't use grammar.)

I love the Soundcore Space One Pro for many reasons. The main benefits are top-notch sound quality and amazing comfort. I tested these cans way back in February, and I haven't stopped thinking about them since.

So when my younger sister — who's starting college in a few weeks — asked me for some studying headphone recommendations, I had only one pair in mind: the Soundcore Space One Pro. Right now, you can grab the best headphones for students for just $149 — that's a 25% savings.

There are so many things to love about the Soundcore Space One Pro headphones. They're crazy comfy and I can wear them for hours and hours — and I have. The cushion cups are silky, and the padded headband is soft against your head. The sound quality is top-notch and had me questioning why people spend huge money on Bose when the Space One Pros are right here.

Perfect for studying

As I outlined in my 4.5-star review of the Space One Pro headphones, these cans have it all. They sound amazing, for starters. In my review, I wrote, "This bass performance was incredibly apparent on the track ‘Nissan Altima’ by Doechii. I didn’t have the bass booster EQ enabled, but the pulsing bass squelched through the headphones."

I admitted that the bass EQ muffled the treble a little, but when I used Soundcore's awesome "HearID" feature (basically personalized EQ), I asserted that "HearID truly [makes] every song sound better."

The headphones are also foldable, making them ideal to pack into your backpack for busy days at college, and the cushions are featherlight and as soft as cotton candy. I wore these headphones for hours during testing and barely noticed them.

Now, ANC. I think there are better ANC headphones (the famous Bose QuietComfort, for example), but when I wore the Space One Pro in my quiet office, it was like I was in my own little world. I'd have no issues wearing these in the library while studying.

I utterly adore the Space One Pro, so when my sister asked me for the best headphones for college, I instantly got them for her. I'd grab them now for a huge $50 saving just in time for classes to start up.
