Soundcore by Anker Q20i Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones, Black

I don’t write reviews as often as I should, unless a product is something to rave about. I live in an apartment. For some reason after six years of living here, the loudest person in the city has moved in above me. The noise cancellation on these headphones is phenomenal. I don’t even have to turn any music on. Just dead silence. Peace. And when I do turn music on the sound is so crisp and perfect I get lost in my own world. I have so many Apple products. My son has the beats. But these. .. for the price I just can’t believe what a steal this is. And I like listening to loud music. Trust me if that’s what you’re looking for that’s what you will get lol This product is by far absolutely worth this long review. So much so I think I may just buy a back up here. They are so durable they are so comfortable. They are built so well I love the color in my 39 years. I’ve never been happier with a pair of headphones. They stay charged forever. They don’t take long to charge. They’re so easy to connect. Just buy them.

These Sound ore by Anker Q20i headphones are absolutely amazing. I am an earbud girlie all the way, but let’s be real, the noise cancelling effect is only in play when you’re playing music on your ears buds. In the other hand, these headphones, as soon as they just connect to any of my devices, provide the noise cancelling effect I was looking for! I wanted noise cancelling headphones to block out the noise of home - I have 3 kids that always have some sort of device and my fiancé who ALWAYS has the tv on and loud. I love that I can pop these on if if I’m not playing anything through them at the moment. - I also love the fact that they can be connected/paired to multiple devices. They are currently paired to my phone, iPad, and switch lite. I use these a lot to play music through my phone or while gaming on my switch lite. BONUS- you can simultaneously have these connected to 2 devices at once. Using them while gaming but also connected to my phone so I won’t miss an important phone call. The headphones do have specific sides R/L that are marked accordingly. If you out them on backwards, they still work BUT if you are trying to use the mic, it will drastically impact the ability for the other person to hear you- so just make sure you put them on the right way. - most headphones are EXTREMELY big on my head as I do have a smaller head- others would fall off the back of my head if I tilted it backwards or fly off the front when I sat up. These do not do that! Do they move some? Yes, but they are by far the best fitting headphones I have ever tried. -also, I have never been able to wear headphones around my neck because they always make me feel like I’m choking, these however don’t and are the first ones I have ever been able to wear around my neck when needing to pause use for a time. - The ear pads/pillows are SO comfortable, they literally feel like little pillow clouds on my ears. They are comfortable enough to lay down with while wearing and I mean laying on my side too. - the sound is incredible, the volume control is top notch! You can turn the volume up all the way if you like, but it’s really not necessary, and I have hearing loss on both sides. (See screenshot showing my perfect volume level with these) - There is an app you can download and adjust your equalizer to personalize it. I just use the Bass booster setting. - the battery life is amazing- far superior to my earbuds. I have only charged them once since I bought them yet and I have had them for nearly 2 weeks now. - these are actually my second pair as the first ones the band seemed as though it had been stretched out and had a pin hole in the ear pad. They replaced them super quick without issue. - they are very durable as previously stated with me sleeping on them. Initially I just tossed them into my bag, but I wanted to protect my investment (I normally don’t really spend money on myself) so I was even able to get a case for these! - oh, I almost forgot! I love how you can fold these too for storage! Makes it super nice for sure! If you’re in doubt, take the jump- I promise you won’t regret your purchase with these!

These headphones are awesome!! I am someone who is extremely sensitive to sound so having noise cancelling headphones is an absolute must! I've owned quite a few pairs and all have worked fine. I actually bought these for my husband but have been using them myself. Without spending $$$ these headphones really give top dollar quality. They are exceptionally comfortable (no ear pain after long use), have really great sound quality and the noise cancelling is phenomenal (true noise cancelling). The headphones come with different adjustments so you are able to turn off the noise cancelling effect and use as typical over-ear headphones (allowing outside noises in). The headphones also have a microphone feature and allow you to talk through them. My husband uses them for work calls and meetings all the time. The headphones charge fairly quickly and have a long lasting charge once at full capacity. Easy to connect to devices with the ability to connect to multiple devices at once. The headphones are comfortable and fit myself, my husband and even our elementary age daughter (although a little big on her, of course). The headphones fold up and become fairly compact and easy to store on-the-go. My husband's one complaint is that there is a sort of ear discomfort if wearing the headphones while on the noise cancelling feature is on without listening to anything. He said the reverse sound effect will start to really bother his ears after a while if he forgets to play music or turn the feature off. My one complaint is that I haven't bought a pair for myself yet! We love these and would definitely recommend! 10/10

The title of the review sets the stage and helps to understand where I'm coming from when I purchased the Soundcore by Anker Q20i headphones. BACKSTORY A few years ago I had purchased a pair of Apple AirPods Max, which are probably the best pair of headphones I've ever owned: amazing sound quality, awesome noise cancellation, and unreal support for Transparency Mode. However due to Apple's dubious quality of engineering on that product, they begin to fail after what I consider be too short a time. When they died this last time, I began looking for cheaper alternatives. The obvious one is the Beats Studio Pro, which are actually priced very well for a decent pair of headphones. Instead, I wanted to get something that was a cheaper stopgap, so I started exploring the over-the-ear Soundcore headphones by Anker, because I had had decent experience with them in the past with their Bluetooth earbuds and also approximately 10 years ago I had one of the successor models to the Q20i. So I thought I would give it a shot. I purchased a different pair of Soundcore headphones at first, but when they arrived they had an offensive smell and had to send them back. After that experience, I do not know what motivated me to try the Soundcore Q20i model, but immediately on arrival I had a different experience. There was no offensive smell, the headphones are very comfortable on my (admittedly large) head. SOUND QUALITY As far as sound quality is concerned, they are passable-to-pretty-good. They initially sounded a little "tinny", but I typically run them with the bass boost and I think I've gotten used to the way that they sound at this point. My typical use case is wearing my headphones pretty much all day listening to droning ambient electronic music so I can focus while working. Therefore, I am not necessarily looking for stellar audio quality, but these are actually pretty good for the price. One cannot compare them to the AirPods Max, because those headphones just blew me away by their quality. But given that this is a $45 pair of headphones, the sound is great—for the price. (I will keep saying that just to keep perspective: "For the price…") TRANSPARENCY MODE The other reason why I went for these is because I needed a pair of headphones that had Transparency Mode, but I didn't have the extra cash to spend on the Beats Studio Pro. The Q20i surprised me because it has a Transparency Mode in a $45 pair of headphones. It's important to acknowledge that Transparency Mode on the Q20i is *nowhere near* the same experience of Transparency Mode on AirPods Max or AirPods Pro, so don't expect that level. However, it does let in enough ambient sound to allow me to hear sound around me and to have a conversation with someone without having to take the headphones off. That was the crucial feature requirement. So again, for the price, having Transparency Mode at all is pretty amazing. STAR REMOVAL The only reason I took off a star is because I feel that the headphones should have the capacity to remember that I always want to have transparency on, or at least remember the last setting of that mode so that when I turned them on the next time, it will be in the same mode that I left it. These do not do that, and for that, I docked a star. OTHER TOPICS Battery life has been good, but I work at a desk and I can charge them whenever I need to, so I am probably not the best judge of that. The headphones are light and comfortable, and they are very adjustable so they should be able to fit and be comfortable for most wearers. They also fold for easy transportation and seem like a pretty durable construction. CONCLUSION For a sub $50 pair of headphones that has transparency mode, has reasonably good sound quality, and so far has been behaving decently on the Bluetooth side connected to a MacBook Pro, I definitely recommend them to someone who is on a tight budget, or someone who just wants a "burner" set of Bluetooth over the ear headphones.

I’ve had the cream colored headphones for about a year and loved them so much, I got the black ones for my daughter. The active noise cancellation is excellent, which was the main thing I was looking for. I like to listen to audiobooks while doing loud things like power washing, woodworking, running the leaf blower. I did kind of cover them in wood stain when I was painting a fence with an airless sprayer, but they even cleaned up pretty well. I’ve never managed to run the batteries down, and can go a week or so between charges, although often I just plug them in instead of turning them off. The audio quality seems good (no interruptions while listening) and I’ve taken calls while out walking and it worked well for that (remote caller could hear me over the mic with no complaints). My main complaint is that they are HOT to wear, your ears will definitely get sweaty. Also, they’re pretty big. They tend to fall forward on my head even on the smallest setting. Even so, I love them and definitely recommend!

My 13yo son ordered these headphones and he says he likes them - they’re comfortable, the noise cancelling works well, and they easily paired with multiple devices (phone, Alexa, Kindle, computer). The battery life says something like 40 hours, he’s had them for a week and hasn’t had to charge them yet. They get plenty loud, but my teen finds that with the noise cancelling he doesn’t need the volume up too high. He can hear that I’m talking to him but not what I’m saying, but I’m able to get his attention easily. The volume buttons in the side are easy to find and use. He likes that there is an aux cord and he can use them with non-Bluetooth devices or if the battery dies. They don’t come with a case so we recommend ordering a hard case, we ordered the L LTGEM case and it works well. The headphones are a little finicky to fold up into the case but we took a look at the listing pictures and figured it out. It looks like the ear pads are replaceable, which further extends the life of your headphones. I’ll be honest - they’re not as nice as my Bose QuietComfort headphones, but for the price these Anker headphones are a great option, especially for kids.

I really have been liking these headphones quite a bit. I needed something to use with my Android TV device for watching movies late at night. The sound quality is good, the buttons have indentations and features you can feel with your fingers as needed - though I don't fiddle with the controls much since I use my TV remote to adjust volume, pause etc. I have used these to talk on the phone once and the person on the other end could hear me adequately. I really appreciate the fast sync up time after turning on the headphones to whatever you'll be using them with. As some have mentioned, its a little difficult to tell when the headphones are on or have turned on after holding the power button for a second. There is a light but more than once I have held the button too long and put the device into bluetooth pairing mode which was not intended. If you are wearing the headphones there is an audible tone for "on" and "off" which makes operation much easier. The noise cancelling is honestly very good. I have had better on other device (Pixelbuds for example) but these are over the ear design and they are more than adquate for blocking out everyday living room sounds like when the vacuum is running etc. If you're using at a busy airport I'm not sure how good the cancellation would be. I do intend to use them while flying eventually however. Overall I am very happy with the price point and fit and function of these headphones. They are very comfortable to wear even after several hours, although some heat is added to your head, but that is normal for this style. This product resolidified what I already know about Anker and that is that they create high quality products that do not cut corners. Sure the headphones have some tiny weaknesses - but again for the price point I'm very glad I went with a brand name instead of some Temu junk. Anker is a solid name in portable battery packs but apparently they make other high quality products as well. I can attest to that.

I bought two sets of NC headphones and the more expensive $80 ones offered none even in NC mode. These are eons better! I also love the color! Even though it says white, it is more like an oatmeal white, very pretty. Next time these go on sale, I plan on buying a back up pair. Pros: Super comfortable from the fit of the ear pieces to the headband. I prefer on ear headphones so over ear, like these, usually aren't comfortable for me, so I was pleasantly surprised. The NC mode works extremely well! As soon as they are on I think it blocks out like 90% of sound before I even play any sound. I have noisy upstairs neighbors who stay between 60-90 decibels loud. So think of a busy, loud restaurant kitchen, that's the base for them above my head. Can't speak to their peak loudness (90 db), but their normal low end (60 db), I didn't hear them thankfully. The volume/loudness is impressive. I have used Jlab neons (they are on ear vs over ear like these) for 5+ years and always had to have my laptop volume up in the high 70 range, usually 77. With these, I majorly had to turn it down to about 44. The sound is really great. I played around with the different modes on the app to get the sound I am used too. So I am thankful for that. I do like the three modes you can easily switch between NC, Normal, and Awareness. I had my mother who has hearing aids try these on and the Awareness mode majorly boosted my voice for her which my vocal range is in the range she has a hard time hearing. I really like that this uses a type C charger. Everything I use requires that so I can just use my phone charger (10ft) if I need to vs searching for a micro usb (I believe) that my old ones used. And these also come with a cord to turn these into a wired version as well. I don't know if you can do that and be able to listen while they charge or not. But if so, even better! My biggest pro is that I can pair these to my laptop (main use) and phone at the same time! This allowed me to keep watching my show while I played with the app on my phone to customize the sound. I just want to mention the color again. A beautiful oatmeal white which makes it more unique. I tend to go for purples and pinks so I went with white just because it was the cheaper option and I am so glad I did! Cons: It automatically reverts to NC mode when you power them on. Not a big deal, but I wish it stayed how I left them when powered off. Button positions. I'm used to buttons on the left earpiece so I am having to relearn/get used to having them on the right. The NC button (which cycles the three modes) is on the opposite side of the same earpiece and is hard to find blindly. I like that it is out of the way so I don't accidentally hit it when powering on/off or volume controls. But I wish it were placed a bit higher so where your finger naturally goes to search for it, it'd find it. My biggest issue, but not enough to knock a star off, are the cues. I'm used to a voice telling me which mode I'm in, power on/off, etc. These ones use a chime that sounds the same for everything, so I have no clue what each chime is telling me until I cycle through enough times or use the app.

Couleur : Blanc J’utilise ces écouteurs depuis environ 6 mois et je les adore. Je ne suis pas une spécialiste du son, mais pour une utilisation quotidienne, je les trouve excellents. La qualité audio est vraiment belle, autant pour la musique que pour les vidéos et les balados. La réduction de bruit est impressionnante. Elle aide vraiment à diminuer les bruits autour et permet de mieux profiter de ce qu’on écoute. Je ne pensais pas que ça ferait une aussi grande différence avant de les essayer. La connexion Bluetooth est très fiable. Je peux me déplacer dans la maison, même changer de pièce, sans perdre la connexion. Côté confort, c’est un gros coup de cœur. Les écouteurs sont munis de coussinets très doux et les ouvertures sont assez grandes pour bien envelopper les oreilles. Comme j’ai des oreilles un peu plus grandes, c’est souvent un problème avec certains modèles, mais pas avec ceux-ci. Je peux les porter pendant plusieurs heures sans inconfort. L’autonomie est tout simplement exceptionnelle. Après 6 mois d’utilisation, je n’ai eu à les recharger qu’une seule fois. C’est probablement ce qui me surprend le plus. Ils semblent également robustes et bien fabriqués. Malgré une utilisation régulière, ils sont encore en excellent état. Bref, je suis vraiment satisfaite de mon achat. Entre le confort, la qualité sonore, la réduction de bruit, la portée Bluetooth et l’autonomie incroyable, je trouve qu’ils offrent un excellent rapport qualité-prix. Je les recommande sans hésitation.

Ich hatte hier zuvor im Rahmen eines Angebotes die Hama Calypso erworben, da ich nur ein günstiges an ihr Headset wollte, um in der Wohnung oder auf dem Balkon auch mal laut Musik hören zu können oder ungestört Serie schauen zu können. Die Akkulaufzeit hat mich da schon sehr beeindruckt aber das Headset war insgesamt sehr knarzig hatte nicht wirklich den beigen Farbton, den ich wollte (eher grau) und nach der Zeit taten die Polster auf den Ohren weh, obwohl sehr weich. Die Hammer haben keinen aktives NoiseCancelling. Dann habe ich dieses Angebot entdeckt im Rahmen der Prime Days und war von den Reviews und den Bewertungen bei YouTube beeindruckt Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis schien absolut zu stimmen.. und auch jetzt in der Realität kann ich das bestätigen für den Preis ein Top Headset? Es sieht wirklich schön aus, ist sehr flexibel und angenehm zu tragen. Auch nach mehreren Stunden tun mir die Polster nicht an den Ohren weh. Sie sind wirklich ultra weich und haben eine sehr gute Passform für meine Ohren. Die Bedienung am Headset selbst ist sehr einfach. Innerhalb der App kann man nicht wirklich für einstellen aber es ist okay. Mir selbst reichen für Serie gucken und laut Musik hören bei Hausarbeit und Co. Die voreingestellten SoundSettings. Die drei Stufen beim NC Hab natürlich Auswirkungen auf den Ton, weshalb ich je nach Modus (Serie oder Musik) umstellen muss, damit es sich gut anhört. Das finnisch lässt sich sehr hochwertig an. Und anders als die Hama Calypso knarzen sie nicht. Bin wirklich sehr sehr happy mit diesem Kauf.

Me encantan, son cómodos y ligeros. Apenas cumpliré tres semanas con ellos y no tienen peros. Tienen una app para configurar el tipo de sonido, o si lo deseas tiene ecualizador para que tú mismo hagas tus ajustes de acuerdo a tus gustos. Los bajos están bien presentes, tienen un sonido envolvente y la cancelación de ruido es buena, no tienes una cancelación total, pero la suficiente para que escuches con claridad lo que estás reproduciendo sin tener que subir demasiado el volumen. Y la cancelación de ruido la puedes activar y desactivar directamente desde un botón que se ubica justo en el manos libres de los audífonos, así de fácil. La batería es una joya, desde que los pedí los cargué una sola vez, y tiene dos semanas que no los he cargado y apenas se han descargado al 55% en un uso algo prolongando, de unas 2 a 5 hrs diarias aproximadamente. Valen completamente la pena, por el precio y la calidad que ofrecen en sus materiales y el audio que es hi-rez. Si eres un consumidor estricto y quieres lo mejor en sonido y calidad mejor busca una opción acorde a tus necesidades, éste es un gran producto pero no es gama top y tampoco pretende serlo.

Bayıldım. Çok konforlu ve kullanım süresi de bayağ uzun. Gürültü engellemesi de fiyatına göre gerçekten iyi.

I wanted a pair of headphones solely for work and teams calls and wasn't too pricey. These were the cheapest in the over ear range and they work great. Nice and light and i like the fact it came in pink. Audio is clear for calls and very good for music. Comfort level, pretty good. The foam is very soft and plushy. Build level, i think it's suits the price. I mean my expensive sony ones snapped where the headphone swivels. Room for improvement: please let the light blink if you press a button so i know the unit is still on and connected to my laptop. My only complaint, I wish the ear pieces were bigger. I'm not sure if all models are this side. They are smaller than my Sony's. But at the end of the day, for me these are strictly for work. The Sony ones are for leisure.
