The catch
Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus Wireless
Bluetooth is disconnected in the documented USB setup. That setup is not the documented way to stay wirelessly connected to a phone while using computer USB audio.
Side by side
ACCENTUM Plus vs Space One Pro: Pro folds for a bag, Plus supports USB work
Quick verdict
ACCENTUM Plus is the choice for USB playback, microphone input and charging on a compatible computer where USB audio is permitted. That requires Bluetooth to be disconnected, plus a data adapter if its USB-A cable needs one. Space One Pro is the choice when the protected, folded package fits your bag and Bluetooth or 3.5 mm audio is enough for you. Its base kit includes a pouch. LDAC takes a supporting Android 8 or later source and some app setup, and it costs you dual connections, Dolby Audio and playtime. Neither pair gives you LDAC together with simultaneous phone-and-laptop connections. None of this picks a winner on sound or comfort.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
Having a USB socket does not give you the same desk setup
With ACCENTUM Plus, a single compatible and permitted USB data connection can stand in for a separate computer microphone or audio adapter. The desk gets simpler only if disconnecting Bluetooth is acceptable and the USB-A cable or a suitable data adapter fits the host. It does not establish better microphone quality or a simultaneous wireless phone connection.
Where this comes from
USB input and output are described outright by Sennheiser on printed page 29. Space One Pro labels USB-C for charging and documents 3.5 mm for wired listening, with no equivalent USB audio setup. The difference is in the documented connections and does not compare microphone quality.
The catch
soundcore Space One Pro
The guide documents USB-C for charging and 3.5 mm for wired listening and has no equivalent USB playback-and-microphone setup.
Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus Wireless
- Why pick it
- You want USB playback, microphone input and charging from a compatible computer that allows it, with Bluetooth disconnected. On a host that has only USB-C, the supplied USB-A cable calls for a suitable data adapter. When Bluetooth already does the job, ACCENTUM Plus has little extra to offer in this matchup.
- The catch
- Bluetooth is disconnected in the documented USB setup. That setup is not the documented way to stay wirelessly connected to a phone while using computer USB audio.
soundcore Space One Pro
- Why pick it
- Your concern is bag fit, and Space One Pro handles it with folded headphones plus whatever protection you choose, while Bluetooth or 3.5 mm audio is enough for you. The base kit comes with a pouch rather than a hard case. Nothing here establishes a direct USB headset route.
- LDAC matters to you, your source runs Android 8 or later with support for it, and you are willing to do the soundcore app and firmware setup. In return you accept a single connected device, no Dolby Audio and less playtime. Space One Pro can’t pair LDAC with phone-and-laptop dual connections, and codec support is no proof of better sound.
- The catch
- The guide documents USB-C for charging and 3.5 mm for wired listening and has no equivalent USB playback-and-microphone setup.

What this page compares
ACCENTUM Plus and Space One Pro compared on USB headset use, folding and LDAC, with the connection limits that could flip the decision.
A laptop cable, a bag pocket and a two-device listening routine each demand something different from headphones. ACCENTUM Plus has a documented USB headset setup. Space One Pro folds inward and supports LDAC, yet LDAC changes which other wireless features stay available.
Which one fits
Pick the situations that sound like you
The computer cable has to handle listening, microphone input and charging
A separate microphone connection is unnecessary with ACCENTUM Plus when the compatible computer permits USB audio, Bluetooth is disconnected and its USB-A cable or a suitable data adapter fits. Finish choosing the playback and recording devices during the connection check. The charging port on Space One Pro does not establish that headset workflow.

- Better fit
- soundcore Space One Pro
- Caution
The headphones have to fold inward to fit a checked bag space
Look at how the inward-folded headphones fit inside whatever protection you will carry. Space One Pro helps only when that whole package fits where the alternative does not and Bluetooth or 3.5 mm listening is enough. A hard case is not part of the base kit, which has a pouch.

- Caution
- soundcore Space One Pro

LDAC music comes from one compatible Android device
This single-device routine works with Space One Pro once the Android 8 or later source, app and firmware pass their compatibility checks. LDAC rules out dual connections and Dolby Audio and shortens playtime. If a second device must stay connected, use another mode or change the requirement.

- Not suitable
- soundcore Space One Pro
- Better fit
Both the phone and the laptop must stay connected over Bluetooth
Each gives you two-device Bluetooth connections, with one playback source at a time. On Space One Pro, keep LDAC off and expect the most recently started audio, including some notifications, to interrupt the other device. The ACCENTUM Plus USB setup instead requires disconnecting Bluetooth. Neither arrangement mixes the sources.

You need both LDAC and simultaneous phone-and-laptop connections
LDAC is not listed for ACCENTUM Plus. The LDAC mode on Space One Pro disables dual connections, even with a supporting Android source and current firmware. Pick a different verified setup and do not try to combine mutually exclusive features.

Both protected packages fit and ordinary Bluetooth is working fine
USB and folding no longer decide it. Check your own fit and the complete package you want. This evidence names no winner for sound, ANC, calls or comfort, and an LDAC label alone cannot do so either.

Differences you will notice
Having a USB socket does not give you the same desk setup
With ACCENTUM Plus, a single compatible and permitted USB data connection can stand in for a separate computer microphone or audio adapter. The desk gets simpler only if disconnecting Bluetooth is acceptable and the USB-A cable or a suitable data adapter fits the host. It does not establish better microphone quality or a simultaneous wireless phone connection.
How we worked this out
USB input and output are described outright by Sennheiser on printed page 29. Space One Pro labels USB-C for charging and documents 3.5 mm for wired listening, with no equivalent USB audio setup. The difference is in the documented connections and does not compare microphone quality.
How much folding helps depends on what surrounds the headphones
Compare what goes into the bag. Space One Pro folds inward, yet its base kit supplies only a pouch, whereas ACCENTUM Plus lies flat in its carry case. Extra protection can cancel out the packing benefit. When both protected packages fit, folding alone is a weak reason to switch.
How we worked this out
Each manual shows its own storage procedure. The soundcore listing selected here identifies the pouch and cables. No measured dimensions of the complete package and no protection test back a claim that one always packs smaller or protects better.
LDAC and a second device on standby are separate choices
With LDAC, keeping a second device on standby becomes a tradeoff. Given a supporting Android 8 or later source with the required app and firmware setup, Space One Pro offers LDAC but gives up dual connections and Dolby Audio and uses more power. Leave LDAC off for phone-and-laptop switching. An iPhone gives no such reason to want LDAC.
How we worked this out
Before LDAC is turned on, the A3062 operating sequence spells out a warning about dual connections and Dolby Audio. Sennheiser lists a different set of supported codecs. What these show are mode and source constraints and not proof that one headphone sounds better.
Plug in your setup
Which headphones suit the way you listen?
Start with how you listen. Charging over USB is not the same as playing audio over USB, and some headphones need power even on a cable. These answers are placeholders until you apply your own.

Battery figures are maker claims for the stated mode. They do not reflect measured travel time. Volume, codec, calls and battery age all change runtime. Closed earcups can still leak some sound. Weight alone does not predict comfort. USB audio needs a compatible source and cable. This check does not judge sound quality, mic quality or amplifier power.
Option A
Sennheiser, ACCENTUM Plus Wireless
ACCENTUM Plus Wireless
Once Bluetooth is disconnected and the host selects the headphones for audio, ACCENTUM Plus provides USB playback and microphone input while charging. It stores with flat earcups in the supplied carry case. The supplied USB cable ends in USB-A at the host.

Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus Wireless | soundcore Space One Pro | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| A cable for computer sound and microphone | USB playback and microphone input, with charging | USB-C charging port and a documented 3.5 mm listening path | A USB headset setup is documented outright for ACCENTUM Plus. On a compatible computer, disconnect Bluetooth and choose it for both playback and recording. The connector on Space One Pro is no reason to assume USB audio. |
| Packing method | Earcups lie flat in the supplied carry case | Rotate the earcups, fold one inward, then align the other | The packed shape of Space One Pro is different, but a product photo or a percentage reduction does not prove the protected headphones fit your bag. Compare the package you will really carry. |
| LDAC from an Android source | No LDAC in the supported codec list | LDAC after compatible-source and app setup | A specific LDAC requirement is something Space One Pro can meet, though only with a supporting Android 8 or later source. In LDAC mode it gives up dual connections and Dolby Audio and draws more power. |
| Phone and laptop on Bluetooth | Two active connections, playback from one at a time | Dual connections, with LDAC disabled | Neither one mixes the two sources. Space One Pro may switch to whichever device started playback last, and notification audio can cut in. Pick the mode that suits your routine instead of stacking incompatible features. |
| Ordinary analog listening | Supplied 2.5 mm headphone-end to 3.5 mm source cable | Supplied 3.5 mm AUX cable | Bluetooth is disabled in both wired procedures. ACCENTUM Plus documents playback on an empty battery, though ANC still needs charge. In wired mode, only the NC button stays active on Space One Pro. Do not assume the wireless controls or call workflow carry over. |
| Selected base package | Black ACCENTUM Plus, USB and analog cables, carry case | Space One Pro, USB charging and AUX cables, carry pouch | This comparison covers ACCENTUM Plus and Space One Pro and not their standard versions. A soundcore hard-case bundle or a host USB-C adapter should not be assumed to be included. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus Wireless
- The host end of the supplied cable is USB-A. If your computer has only USB-C, you need a suitable data adapter or another compatible data connection.
With soundcore Space One Pro
- To use LDAC you need a supporting Android 8 or later source, the app setup and any update it asks for. It costs you dual connections and Dolby Audio and shortens playtime.
Change of plan
When the answer changes
A direct USB headset takes the place of extra desk equipment
Go with Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus Wireless. USB playback and microphone input decide it only if the compatible host allows them, the data cable or adapter fits, and you can accept losing Bluetooth during ACCENTUM Plus USB use. If not, that desk advantage is gone.
A protected package that folds inward fixes a verified bag-fit problem
Go with soundcore Space One Pro. A verified shortage of bag space favors Space One Pro only when the folded headphones fit inside the protection and bag you chose and Bluetooth or 3.5 mm audio is enough. The pouch it ships with is not a hard case.
Getting LDAC from one supported Android source counts for more than dual connections
Go with soundcore Space One Pro. If LDAC outranks a second connection, Space One Pro fits, provided you have a supporting Android 8 or later source and have completed the app/firmware setup. That mode also rules out Dolby Audio and cuts playtime.
You need both LDAC and two Bluetooth devices connected at the same time
Neither model fits. LDAC is not listed for ACCENTUM Plus, and Space One Pro turns off dual connections in LDAC mode. Nothing in this comparison, whether a cable, an app setting or a folded shape, delivers both together.
Decision guide
Before you buy
Start by asking if the cable must carry microphone input, if the protected headphones fit your bag, and if LDAC outweighs a second Bluetooth connection for you.
What this page can’t tell you
- Manufacturer instructions and package evidence for the exact models are the basis here. Nobody ran a listening, isolation, microphone-quality, comfort, fit or battery-runtime test for this page.
- In Space One Pro documentation, USB-C is for charging, and wired listening is analog, with no direct USB digital-audio setup described. This page does not treat that connector as a USB headset feature or promise it works with a game console.
- The Space One Pro guide advises against turning the headphones on while charging, and its FAQ mentions possible electrical noise when AUX is used during charging. Neither point is used here to claim that every analog-and-charge setup is impossible. We have not established a battery-free analog fallback for Space One Pro.
- A fold is a mechanism and says nothing measured about bag fit or case protection. Codec support is a compatibility point. No audible advantage has been demonstrated. We make no claim about current price, seller, stock or offers.
