Comparison to others and some objective measurement and other info here: https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/anker/soundcore-space-q45-wireless

Have a look at the frequency response and Neutral Sound summary:

> The Anker Soundcore Space Q45 aren't the best choice for neutral sound out of the box. They have a pretty v-shaped sound profile with extra thump, rumble, and boom, as well as bright and sparkly sibilants. However, they also have a peak in their high-mid, which makes vocals and instruments sound harsh, while the dip in the low-treble veils their details. Luckily, you can adjust their sound to suit your tastes using their companion app's graphic EQ and presets. They also support LDAC codec if you want to stream hi-res audio.

There is also this review which seems to concur overall. I don’t know much about “Sound Guys” though. Strange that they have a pretty scathing write up but then rate the sound quality at 9.6 in their table at the top. Make of that what you will. Seems inconsistent and misleading to me.

> The Anker Soundcore Space Q45 sound quality is probably the headset’s biggest issue. It’s not all terrible, most users will get used to the headset’s sound after a few minutes of use, but it doesn’t hold up next to other options on the market. The frequency response curve deviates noticeably from our ideal target curve across all areas of the frequency spectrum. The sub-bass is slightly exaggerated, the midrange depressed slightly, and the higher frequencies are besieged by an undulating change in response that causes high-end elements in music to sound hissy, betraying the accuracy of the playback.
