Review: Brilliant headphones - I bought the Q30 as an interim set until I could afford to replace my dying Beats. I am so impressed that I'm not actually going to buy another set of Beats! Firstly though, I will say to anyone buying these; download the app!!! It will make using much easier, and will provide setting preferences you won't otherwise be able to use. From what I've seen on other reviews it also helps to sort out any issues you might have. To start, comfort: Anyone who's had over ear Beats will tell you they press on your ears so much it's painful to have them on for more than a few minutes. After a while you get used to that, and only really notice it when you take them off. These bad boys however, are the most comfortable over ears headphones I've ever had! My ears fit inside the cushioned areas so nothing is pressing on them. Bliss. Pairing: Easy peasy! Press the on button until you get a flashing blue light, find the Q30 on your device and hit pair. If you want another device paired at the same time after you've got the first set up, press the on/off button twice and then pair on the other device. Simples. That being said, I did this last night with my phone and kindle and when I started using my phone the sound from the kindle dropped off even though the app being used on my phone didn't have any sound coming from it, which was annoying. Also wouldn't allow sound from the kindle until the phone was off again. So while you can be paired with 2 devices at the same time, you can only have one in use at a time. Sound quality: For my needs it is excellent. I use my headphones for calls, watching programmes or films, social media apps, audiobooks/podcasts and music when I'm cleaning. So, music isn't the sole or most significant purpose and therefore I'm not one of those who will rave about bass, highs and mids. Not even sure how I would know what those things were. That being said, the soundcore app does let you set up your own preferences on the EQ thingie, so have at it if you need to! Noise canceling: for the first time I can tell what NC is meant to do! It's insane the difference it makes as well. I've seen other reviews saying it isn't the best they've had compared to other sets, but those must have literally removed the world around them because this is pretty impressive. On the app you can also select your environment to tailor the NC to your needs. These also have transparency mode so if you do need to hear what's happening around you you can do so by simply placing your palm on the outside of the right cup for a second. Same to turn it on again. It actually makes the environment louder though, I tried it when cooking and I heard the sizzling more clearly than if I didn't have the headphones on! Battery life: Pretty good, but this is the one area where the Beats win. With those, I need to charge them once a week. Usually turn them on when I get to work, use for calls during the work day and a podcast on my commute - 30 mins either way - and then at weekends use them more frequently for a few hours each day. I've only used these ones for my usual weekend activities so far, and they already need charging up. That being said, it's not that much of an issue as I normally plug mine in to charge overnight anyway and a quick 5 minute charge gives another few hours of use if needed. Portability: This is another area where the Beats are better because they fold down into a small case to carry around. These ones are still pretty big when folded and the case is large! And because the cups are much bigger they aren't comfortable to wear round your neck when not in use, it's like a neck brace! However, my handbag and work bag are big anyway, so it isn't an issue for me personally. Price: There's no comparison is there. Beats= ~£200 for the ones I was planning to buy. Q30=<£50. Overall, I would definitely recommend these headphones. Really impressed so far.
Review: Best cheap noise cancelling headphones on the market - RUNDOWN: I am a uni student. Was looking for noise cancelling headphones but didn’t want to pay an odd 100-200+ on headphones. I saw the reviews on thes headphones- on both desertcart and YouTube etc and decided to give them a try. What is inside the box: - headphones+ box - 2 cables (one charging, one AUX) - manual (guide) Noise cancelling: - 4/5: amazing noise cancelling that you get for the price of the item. The app allows you to change the noise cancelling level and depending on your environment also. However, I found that there were a lot of leaks and they were not as noise cancelling as you would expect. With music playing it is great but as someone who sometimes likes not listening to music I needed a pair that would do it without. They did, just not to my standard. Pairing: - 5/5: pairing is amazingly easy even without the Apple M1 pairing chip found in the Beats headphones and Apple products. You do not need the app to pair, the app simply controls noise council UG and equaliser (more on that later). As the headphones are able to connect to multiple devices (2) at one given time, I decided to try it connected to my iPhone and MacBook. It worked amazingly well, HOWEVER, I found that there was a delay in switching audio from one device to the other. For example, if I played something on my iPhone, the headphones will not play what is playing on my MacBook until the iPhone is closed (on lock screen). This isn’t really an issue, however may or may not be the same when you receive a call while watching something on another device. Battery life: - 5/5: haven’t got much to say about this as I have decided to return them due to aesthetic reasons. Build quality: - 3/5: this is probably the only bad thing I have to say about the these headphones- and ultimately the reason I am returning. They are very sturdy and the build is amazing (hence the 3). It has a metal top bar and the rest is plastic- yet this does not downgrade them at all. HOWEVER, they are very large and make it seem as if you have a halo around your head. I am very small, this may be the reason. They also have a branded logo which seems to mimic ‘beats’ a bit too much- wish they put this logo in black so it would not stand out. These are ideal for travel, studying and I’m guessing will last a very long time! Sound quality: - 5/5: best sound quality I have heard on a pair of headphones in forever. Despite the price, these pair of headphones are probably the best headphones for sound quality on a budget. Although the sound changes when you change the ANC settings, it isn’t much different. As an avid listener of ASMR I gave it a once over test and the headphones honestly captured every little sound and detail! Within the app you can change the equaliser which for me was a must as the headphones are very flat without changing it (although it is down to preference). The bass is amazing also. My only problem with the sound (and it’s not necessarily bad) is that you do NOT need to even go past half way on the volume. The headphones are super loud- the loudest I have possibly ever heard in headphones. This does mean also there is a LOT of sound leakage during the higher volumes- everyone will hear your song preferences on the Tube lol. Mic quality: - 4/5: I did not get to hear it for myself, however I called my sister and she said they sounded fine. My only concern was the practicality of the headphones on a loud tube or street- which I did not get to test. Weight: -4/5: these were rather heavy, but nothing you can complain about- it doesn’t weigh your head down! Fit/ feel: -4/5: as someone with a small head they were rather big. If I turned my head to the side noise leaked in- another reason I am returning. Also mentioned they look rather large around your head- but again might just be me. They feel super comfortable, you do not get a headache or pressure on your head whilst wearing at all. The cups on the headphones themselves remind me of a memory foam/ feather pillow. They do get a little hot around your hears over time- but that’s something you cannot avoid with headphones. Overal: 5/5- AMAZING quality for price- if you are looking for backup headphones, or are a first time headphone user I would 100% recommend!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What codecs does this support, i.e. aptx-ll, aptx-hd, ldac, etc.?**
A: While supporting many different codecs improves compatibility, etc., it's not a good indicator of the quality of the sound you will get from the headphones. Case in point, the Sennheiser HD 450BTs utilize the aptx codecs, but they sound like garbage compared to the Q20s I was replacing them with. In my experience, aptx has more to do with latency reduction than actual sound quality. My advice is to get a pair of headphones that get decent reviews, good battery life, and use software with a good EQ. On Android, Poweramp is the best that I've found. You can adjust the bitrate, etc. to better match the capabilities of the headphones. You can use the default 10 bar EQ, or use a custom one. The settings allow for a LOT of customization.

Short answer...if the Q30s are at least as good as the Q20s, I think you'll enjoy them a lot.

**Q: can you use noise cancellation with a wired connection?**
A: I bought these headphones on Prime Day Jul 12, 2022. The version I received had the newest firmware that disabled ANC when plugged in. I had to return them, since I am expecting to have to use the wired connection on my upcoming flights.

**Q: Will this connect with a PS4 for gaming?**
A: PS4 and PS5
Wired, yes for both audio and mic. 
Bluetooth, audio only, no mic. You can get a dongle to plug into the PS4 if you really need them wireless, but that's another $12+ and occupies one of the usb ports.
I bought these for my husband. He uses them every night, wired to the controller, to play in a party with nieces and nephews. While the kids almost always are scrambling to make their mics work, my husband just jumps on.

**Q: Can I connect these to my tv somehow?**
A: If your TV has a Bluetooth transmitter, then yes, you could connect any Bluetooth headphones to the TV. If your TV does not have Bluetooth, you can purchase a Bluetooth transmitter device, hook it up to your TV's audio ports, and it will send audio to your Bluetooth headphones.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value but wired support lacking
*by M***O on 27 July 2021*

I've used these nearly every day, all day for over a month connected to a Windows 10 PC and Android phone. I had some cheap Mixcder E9s and my daughters Sony MX1000XM4s which I will mention for comparison. TLDR; Unlikely to beat them under £100, NC/App not as good as expensive Sony's, but sound quality is somehow better IMHO. Battery life is amazing. Bluetooth is great but wired support is poor. Microphone just OK for meetings. Battery life: is amazing! Mine are turned on 8+ hours per day with NC turned on and around 4 days. They also charged in less than an hour using my 20/30w USB C charger, otherwise 2-3 hours from low to full on a normal USB port? Sound quality: is probably the best I've owned, not saying much :-) However, my daughter has the top rated Sony MX1000XM4s and I was able to compare back to back, play with both apps and features side by side etc. Its subjective but the with out of box, default settings on both, the Q30 wins for podcasts, and the hard rock and electronic genres I tried. Just much punchier and more alive, I think an audiophile would say the XM4s are more neutral though, and you can change the EQ etc...Both of them thrash my old Mixcder E9s which sound really dull in comparison - real noticeable improvement. Noise cancelling: I had my Mixcder E9, Sony XM4s and these side by side next to my ridiculously loud portable aircon in my small office. I mean NOTHING short of ear plugs is going to cancel that out, no question the Sony has the best NC and turned the roar into a whisper. Q30s cancel out most the roar but still leave some of the rushing noise of the fan. I also wandered round the house and stood outside etc, in every situation Sony wins. BUT... The Q30s are still very good, and not that far off the mark and trounce the cheaper E9s in this dept. You get three modes, I leave it in "Transport" which is good for cancelling out fan noise and rumbling etc. I think the modes basically focus on low, mid and hi frequencies. Comfort: My cheap Mixcder E9s are still the most comfortable headphones I own. These are a quite good, I wear a LARGE motorcycle helmet so I guess I have a large head, and for the record massive ears ( Think Prince Charles ) and the Q30s are comfortable for up to 2 hours at a time. Fit is loose and easily accommodates my glasses, but had to mess around to get the head band in the a comfy, stable place. Sony's seemed slightly better for me but can't compare as only borrowed for a couple of hours. App/Features: Sony is way more advanced with "Adaptive Sound Control", its really clever. Plus both Google/Alexa built in. There's no comparison and might be where a chunk of your extra £150+ goes - IF you use it. Soundcore App works well, connects easily and no crashes on my Mi10Lite and has a nice simple UI to let you change the Noise cancelling and EQ. FYI... The EQ/NC DSP circuit is IN the headphones. So it works across all devices whether you connect the app or not, and it remembers the settings fine. You can play/pause/volume/toggle NC using the headphone buttons. Microphone: Used for Microsoft Teams meetings daily and its a lot better than my cheap headset, but obviously without a proper mic arm its not as good as my purpose made meeting/gaming headset. It picks up background noise more, so if you're in a quiet room its fine, but people have struggled to hear me in noisy environments. N.B. On Windows it creates separate "voice/chat" and "music/general" devices. That means you can't hear your PCs sound while on chat. Only an issue for gaming maybe? Other: Transparency mode is activated by touching the right ear cup, but its a gimmick IMHO, as it sounds weird and you can't hear your OWN voice very well. Wireless/Wired: Bluetooth reliability is excellent (never dropped out in a month) and range is good (next room but not furthest room through 3 walls). Its been great with Android and Win10, and that's how I use them 90% of the time. But wired... Plugging in a 3.5mm cable just turns them off! No NC, EQ, even volume controls, all turned OFF! I read this is a recent firmware revision and they USED to work wired but it was unreliable, which is why they disabled it. Sadly wired quality is now bad and is almost pointless. DO NOT BUY TO USE ON WIRED CABLE - That's why I dropped a star, my old ones work great on wired with full NC. I already bought one cheap no-brand NC headphones and was worried I was literally buying cheap, buying twice... maybe three times! I've had Anker stuff before and they are known for being the premium end of cheap but these Soundcore's have boosted my opinion of Anker. My daughter bought the Sony's at the same time and I was ready to send these back and do the same but the price difference was not worth it for me. Hope that helps. * I haven't posted a review here for a long time as I received a warning from Amazon for commenting on problems with review authenticity.
