Has anybody tried the Anker Soundcore Space One over-ear headphones? Are they more durable than the Anker SoundCore Life Q30?

I've had the Q30 before, but now after I've already used replacement pads the headband is starting to really come apart, and since the inner parts of the pads started developing color changes from sweat (so potential fungal stuff that might also end up being in the headband), I'm looking for a replacement. I've used them extremely heavily for over three years, so while it's not great to dispose headphones at that point, it doesn't seem to be possible to order replacement headbands and I've had cheap headphones last less.

But since for the SoundCore Life Q30 the "native" pads lasted barely a year, I've been wondering if the SoundCore Space One would last longer? Has anybody tried them?

I've heard the sound balance is worse for the SoundCore Space One, but I don't really care about that. I typically use an EQ anyway since I don't like the default settings, since I find most non-professional headphones to have unacceptable default tuning. So I assume I'll hopefully manage to configure them in a way that is acceptable for me.

Edit: alternatively, if somebody knows where to get a replacement SoundCore Life Q30 headband, I'd be interested too!

That doesn't match my experience when it comes to low frequency noises around me. I can see that being true for higher frequency noises however. So it probably depends on the use case.
