soundcore Anker Q20 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones, Wireless Over Ear Bluetooth Headphones, 40H Playtime, Hi-Res Audio, Deep Bass, Memory Foam Ear Cups, for Travel, Home, Office

I needed a new set of headphones to replace a set of Sony's that I've had for a few years. I came across these on here, and added them to my basket along with a few other pairs, and then began checking out the reviews on here, followed by some on YouTube. All reviews on YouTube seemed extremely positive and were actually stating that these punched well above their weight, especially at the price, many reviewers stating they'd pay two or three times the price, so I returned to Amazon, deleted the others in my basket and ordered these.Delivery was next day and on-time, and arrived in perfect condition, no problems there.The headphones are light, look modern and cool, and the materials all feel high quality, although it's subjective comfort for me personally was excellent, and the fit was perfect, these are light and comfy, the padding all around is soft and supple, great for long use, with no discomfort, I used them for seven hours straight on the day they got delivered, and I've tried them out with my glasses, no problems with the fit or comfort there either.I've had the headphones for a week now, and have tried them with my record player, PS5, TV, laptop, projector, and mobile phone. Connection is straightforward and simple for each device, with no drop outs or connection issues. I've taken a few phone calls though the headphones now, not one caller has mentioned I sound 'funny, distorted, quiet or unclear' infact, nobody has mentioned a thing, so they can't tell I'm using headphones, and I can hear every caller loud and clear.I've been really impressed with the sound quality with these, but initially thought the bass may be too overpowering for the kind of music I like, but I soon became accustomed to this, and love it now. I don't use the bass boost, as it's not needed for me, but it's there's for all the bassheads, and I'm sure it's a feature they'll like. These are my first noise cancelling headphones, so I can't compare that feature to other (much more expensive) headphones, it's not a feature I really use, as I tend to use these in quiet areas when alone, but the feature does work, as I blocked out some noisy neighbours one night, so it would be useful for any other users, the over ear pads dampen the outside world quite well by themselves too, (noise cancelling only works when connected via Bluetooth, and not when connecting with the supplied aux cable. The sound through these are rich and clear, I don't think you'd get a better pair of headphones at this price point to be honest, which the many YouTube reviews correctly stated. You will probably see reviews on here from audiophiles detailing the finer intricacies of frequencies, sound stages, balances, trebles, rolling highs, lows, mids and all the like, you know the ones.....but I ask, why are you buying a pair of £32 headphones, when it's clear you are looking for a lot more specification (and price) wise, I'd say ignore those, and don't let the over analysers put you off, they have unrealistic expectations, these sound excellent for the price, just check out the YouTube reviews from people who test many different comparable products, you'll be hard pressed to find many negative ones.Fantastic battery life, 40hrs with active noise cancelling, 60 houra without. I've had to charge them once in a week, after many hours of use, and the quick charge feature is amazing and very useful, 10 minutes charge giving you 4 hours of battery life.This model is not compatible with the Soundcore app, so you won't be able to use that to adjust the equaliser settings. I was aware of this before purchase, because I read the reviews and specifications on here, and on the Anker website, easily done before purchase, and it wasn't an issue for me, as I can download an app, or use and EQ on my laptop, to be honest, they sound just fine from the factory setting. If you want the app compatibilty buy the next model up, Q20iI would highly recommend these to family or friends without hesitation, knowing they'll love them.It's my first Anker SoundCore product, so it's always a worry when you try a new brand, but glad I did, and will look for one of their speakers next, and buy happily without any worry about the quality.Like everything else when you're looking to buy something, TVs, computers, cars, there's always gonna be people who want the very best, (we all do want that for our money of course) and these won't meet that need for the serious audiophiles, that must have, or need the top features and specs, but remember you're not paying top money for these, and for the price, you'll be getting the best you can for your money. No matter what you're buying, when you read some reviews, they are never good enough for some people, and have unrealistic expectations, and can put you off purchasing when doing your research, but I don't think these will disappoint the majority of buyers at all.Hope you enjoy them as much as I am.

Solid pair of headphones. They've lasted over a year now, great audio quality (really bass-heavy mmh) and I use them when I'm on long journeys. Bluetooth connects fine, battery lasts a while and they're just super comfy on my glasses, not constrictive like other headphones are. Overall 100% recommend, especially for the price I got them at, which I don't remember but I'm cheap so they couldn't have been that much.

great battery life and surprisingly good sound for the price

The Anker Soundcore headphones are really impressive! The noise cancellation is top-notch, blocking out background noise and allowing me to fully immerse in my music or calls. The sound quality is crystal clear with great bass and balance, making them perfect for both listening to music and podcasts. The build is comfortable for long listening sessions, and the battery life is fantastic. Whether you’re commuting or working from home, these headphones do the job well and at a great price point. Highly recommend!

I love it.... I had a decent budget of £100 for headphones. Bought the Aria pro to begin with at £90 but the quality was not up to the mark, it creaks, the sound leakage was bad with others in the room complaining and the sound was just ok, as soon as I heard them i felt like it was lacking in bass especially low end bass. So decided to return it and took a chance on the q20 as it was no 2 or no 3 on amazons top selling and I alo thought to try the tribit tune as they're similarly priced and come highly recommended for sound quality.The build quality on this is great no creaks, the sound is marvelous! The bass goes real low, mids are rich especially lower mids, highs are well rolled off making listening for long periods comfortable. The Tribit on the other hand has highs that can be a bit tiring and the bass on the tribit doesnt go as low. I find the bass in the q20 much richer. The tribits are louder though and the tribits sound clearer with a slightly larger soundstage. Overall if bass is important to you, you will love these over the tribits. If highs are more import to you then the tribits are better. The Aria pro I cant recommend to anyone for sound quality. The fit was a bit too tight initially but now after 2 days I guess they've 'broken in' and are comfortable, i find them more comfortable than the tribit but less so than the Aria pro but theyre not bad. The noise isolation (not noice cancellation) from the foam cups is excellent! I find it better than the tribit the tribit is already good but this takes it up a notch and is sometimes better than using ANC as the noise isolation is good sound leakage is minimal. The Aria pro was the worst in this regard.ANC is good on these and i couldn't hear the tap running while doing the dishes or even the vaccum cleaner. But using ANC results in a degradation in sound quality on these. Also if you're in a silent room and you switch ANC on you will hear white noise more like wind/flowing water and i recommend keeping ANC off when listening in a quiet room. With ANC off the mids are richer and overall sound is fuller. For me sound quality is more important than ANC and these just do it right when it comes to sound. Probably drivers that are capable of a wider frequency range make these richer sounding than other budget options that I have tried. The Bass up implementation is absolute rubbish and it severely degrades sound quality it would be better if the low end rumbled or went deeper with this switched on but instead mid bass is boosted and you lose clarity in the mids and highs basically bass is now everywhere in every frequency and voices become recessed and move to the back.Haven't owned it long enough to comment on the battery but it was 60% when i got them. I spent 2 - 3 hours listening and it was still 60% so overall battery must be good.Another minor niggle with these is when the volume is full and you try to raise it further it interrupts your music and beeps to let you know that volume is full. Just a small beep without the interruption would do.So of the 3 I bought I will be returning the Aria Pros (the most expensive) will definitely be keeping these and still thinking about the tribits might test them a bit more before deciding on whether i keep them or return them. They do have a slightly different sound signature and it could be worth owning both. If you like your bass to go low and want good sound quality on a budget i would recommend these. Under £100 id be surprised if it gets better than these.Update1: I returned the tribit tune as they were too uncomfortable to wear for more than an hour, guess I have big ears. Also the sound quality was not as good as these to me so didn't make sense keeping them. Id rather save that money and put it towards buying a sony xm3/xm4 in future. For now these have satisfied my needs and I will be sticking with them for the near future.Update2: So I couldn't resist and had to know what the fuss was about and got myself a pair of sony XM3s the "ultimate headphones". Trust me guys the difference in sound quality is negligible. The sonys are definitely better when it comes to noice cancelling, premium look and feel and overall design because of its slimmer profile. But when it comes to pure sound quality with the nc off the soundcore is nearly as good. The sound is rich, the bass goes quite low and lots of detial is present. Highs and mids are well rounded. With the sonys on the other hand the higs and mids sound a clearer but a bit sharper/shrill at higher volumes. The low end bass is less audible but bass overall is really tight and punchy.. rather than be audible it creates these waves you can feel on your ears like a rumble..where as on the soundcore the low end bass is more audible but it doesn't create this rumble its the best way i can describe it. Overall when i put on the soundcore i never feel like i miss the sonys these are a perfectly satisfying pair. They've even gotten more comfortable over time. In fact the sound leakage is better on the soundcore and i can use it when people are sleeping around me without disturbing them. Also thr plastic on the soundcore feels thicker and will gather less scratches and fingerprints makes it great for a beat around pair. For 40 bucks they're a steal. If like me you want a good pair of headphones but are wondering if the sonys are worth it... Well they do offer a lot of good things but if sound quality is your only criteria and you like a warm but detailed sound signature then the soundcore will certainly satisfy your needs but only with the nc off. With nc on the sound quality does deteriorate. But overall i would highly recommend the soundcore to anyone.

Great Price, excellent quality, better than previous headphones at a much Higher price.
