Soundcore by Anker Life Q30 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones with Multiple Modes, Hi-Res Sound, Custom EQ via App, 40H Playtime, Comfortable Fit, Bluetooth Headphones(Renewed)

I compared these with my daughters Bose earbuds. Could not tell the difference in noise cancellation. These really do have a lot of useful and functional features that add value. Feel solid. They fold nicely and are very comfortable. Also used these on a flight. Excellent! Music is 7.5 or 8/10. Must use the app and graphic equalizers. Bass is solid. Plenty loud. Transparency mode is actually great! Not as seamless as Airpod pros, but the amplification and left to right distinction is nice. Used them at the airport to hear my boarding call while listening to music. $51 renewed. Easily the best $50 I have spent on tech in a looong time. I chose to give these a chance, because I have a great BT speaker from Soundcore that I love and have had for 5 years. Well done Soundcore! Q30 is the sweet spot.Oh! There is a custom sleep sound mode from the app that lets you set a timer and add various sleep sounds at different levels and mix them as you like at any volume level. Wind sound with some ocean waves, wind chimes, and a lil rain was impressive. Execution is above expectation for sure.

Late in life diagnosed neurodivergent adult here, and never had I ever tried noise cancelling headphones. I do use Loop earplugs to block sound sometimes, so I thought why not try noise cancelling headphones?Our house is on a budget so I couldn't spend too much, but I also didn't want to end up wasting money on a cheap pair of headphones that I wouldn't end up liking or using. I finally ended up settling on these.Unfortunately the first pair of headphones I received didn't work right. BUT I easily started the return/replacement process, and I received the replacement before I even returned the first pair. It was nice to be able to make sure the first pair was faulty and that it wasn't the headphones in general that felt... wrong on my ears. Fortunately the second pair was *chefs kiss* SO much better and I have basically been living in them since. (which also speaks to the battery life because I have had these for about two weeks and have only had to charge them once)They have fairly decent passive noise cancelling, active noise cancelling is really neat (you can connect to the soundcore app so you can adjust that, plus there's an equalizer in the app to adjust sound too), and the transparency mode is my absolute favourite. Just quickly touching the right ear for a second switches it to transparency mode so you can tune into your surroundings without stopping your audio or taking the headphones off--and I absolutely love that, as a parent and someone who is just on high alert a lot.The microphone works well for phone calls, I've been told that the sound is clear. I like that you can connect to two devices, at the same time, so I can use my Nintendo Switch and just switch over to my phone if I get a call. Pairing them was fairly straightforward. Oh, and they come with a case so you can travel with them too, and I'm sure I'm forgetting about other things I like about these.Honestly my only "complaint" is that I have a small head and the smallest size setting still concerns me that they might fly off my head if I turn too quickly--because they definitely make threats to fly off my head when I "headbang" even a little to my music.TLDR?I'm no expert but these are absolutely quality for the price point. Just be wary not to shake them off if you have a small head.

The media could not be loaded. Headphones look nice and are pretty comfortable, sound quality is also clear. However, the headband is entirely plastic so if you’re gonna be traveling with them then maybe keep it in the carrying case lol.Default EQ is meh (low-end cranked up to hell, mids & highs are too quiet). You need to download the soundcore app and use a different eq preset.Noise cancelling is insanely good.Honestly a solid pair of headphones for their price point, would recommend.

Pros:1. Pretty good sound cancellation for the price. When surrounded by loud talkers, you can still hear them, but over the sound of gentle music, it just sounds like muffled voices. It works extremely well in airplane rides, where it shuts out a lot of the steady engine noise.2. Sound quality is pretty good. Especially for the price.3. Extra features in the app are nice (equalization profile, noise cancellation profile)4. Has good battery life. I haven't timed it, but I would say that it easily does 40+ hours per charge.Cons.1. Doesn't fold up quite as much as some other models, so it takes more room to carry.2. Although the cups fit comfortably AROUND the ear, the back of the headphones (the felt) pushes against the ear. This becomes quite uncomfortable after multiple hours of wearing the headphones.3. Sound is good, HOWEVER, it does tend to be just a little base heavy. (I use them to listen to classical music, so it may not bother you as much)- Final verdict: Would buy again, my biggest gripe is I wish my ear did not hit the back of the headphones.

Great headphones, very comfortable and very very good battery life, and noise cancelling capabilities, and it's affordable for a high end head set.
