Multipoint Pairing: The Space A40 supports multipoint pairing, allowing connection to two devices simultaneously. Configure this feature within the Soundcore app.
Wearing the Earbuds: Ensuring a Secure Fit
Achieving a comfortable and secure fit is crucial for optimal sound quality and noise cancellation with your soundcore Space A40 earbuds. Begin by Selecting the Right Ear Tip Size – the A40 includes XS, S, M, L, and XL options. Experiment to find the best seal for your ear canal.
Identifying Left and Right Earbuds is simple; look for the ‘L’ and ‘R’ markings on the inner surface. Proper placement is essential. Finally, Rotating and Adjusting for Comfort will fine-tune the fit. Gently twist and reposition the earbuds until they feel snug and secure.
Selecting the Right Ear Tip Size (XS, S, M, L, XL)
The soundcore Space A40 includes five sizes of silicone ear tips – XS, S, M, L, and XL – to accommodate a wide range of ear canal shapes and sizes. A proper seal is vital for effective noise cancellation and balanced audio. Start with the medium size (M) and test the fit.
If the earbuds feel loose or lack bass, try a larger size. Conversely, if they cause discomfort or pressure, switch to a smaller size. Experiment with each option until you find the most comfortable and secure fit, ensuring optimal performance and long-term wearability.
Identifying Left and Right Earbuds (L/R Markings)
Correctly identifying the left (L) and right (R) soundcore Space A40 earbuds is crucial for optimal audio experience and noise cancellation performance. Locate the subtle “L” and “R” markings on the inner surface of each earbud’s stem. These markings are designed to be discreet yet visible upon close inspection.
Ensuring each earbud is placed in the corresponding ear guarantees accurate sound staging and directional audio. Incorrect placement can diminish the effectiveness of the noise cancellation and overall sound quality. Double-check these markings before each use for the best results.
Rotating and Adjusting for Comfort
Achieving a secure and comfortable fit with your soundcore Space A40 earbuds is essential for long listening sessions. Gently rotate the earbuds within your ear canal to find the angle that provides the best seal and comfort. Experiment with slight adjustments – pushing them in a little further or angling them upwards or downwards.

A proper fit maximizes noise isolation and sound quality. Don’t hesitate to readjust even after initial placement, as subtle movements can significantly improve comfort. The goal is a snug, yet non-irritating, fit that stays secure during movement.

Troubleshooting Common Issues
Facing problems? This section offers solutions for connectivity, noise cancellation, and battery life issues with your soundcore Space A40 earbuds.
Earbud Connectivity Problems
Experiencing connection difficulties? First, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the earbuds are sufficiently charged. Try forgetting the Space A40 from your device’s Bluetooth list and re-pairing them.
Confirm the earbuds aren’t connected to another device simultaneously. If issues persist, reset the earbuds by placing them in the charging case and holding the button for a few seconds. Check for firmware updates via the Soundcore app, as these often include connectivity improvements.
Interference from other wireless devices can also cause problems; move away from potential sources.
Noise Cancellation Not Working
If ANC isn’t performing as expected, first verify you’ve selected an active noise cancellation mode within the Soundcore app. Ensure the earbuds are properly seated in your ears, as a poor fit reduces ANC effectiveness. Clean the earbud nozzles, as obstructions can impact performance.
Experiment with different ear tip sizes (XS, S, M, L, XL) to achieve a secure seal. Check the app settings for customized ANC levels and ensure they are appropriately adjusted. Restarting the earbuds and your connected device can often resolve temporary glitches.
Strong winds can sometimes affect ANC; try adjusting your position.
Battery Life Concerns
If you’re experiencing shorter-than-expected battery life, several factors could be at play. High volume levels and continuous use of ANC significantly drain the battery. Ensure the earbuds and charging case are fully charged before use. Check the Soundcore app for battery usage details and optimize settings.
Disable features like Multipoint Pairing if not actively used, as they consume power. Avoid extreme temperatures, which can negatively impact battery performance. A full charge typically provides several hours of playback; however, this varies with usage.
Contact support if issues persist.
