Soundcore by Anker Q20i Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones, Wireless Over-Ear Bluetooth, 40H Long ANC Playtime, Hi-Res Audio, Big Bass, Customize via an App, Transparency Mode (Black)

I am thoroughly impressed with these headphones. The Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation does a fantastic job of blocking out low-frequency background noise, making them perfect for focusing or traveling. They are incredibly comfortable to wear for hours at a time, and the ear cups are nice and soft. The battery life is phenomenal—I rarely have to worry about charging them. Sound quality is crisp with plenty of bass, which you can easily customize using the Soundcore app. For a fraction of the cost of high-end brands, these deliver premium performance. Highly recommend!

I got these on sale and figured for the price I would try them out for my kids. They were complaining that they couldn't hear the protective style over road noise and I tried those out and I also couldn't hear well. I warned them that these could get loud, but with the noise cancelling tech, they don't have to turn the volume up high. You immediately feel the noise cancelling when you turn them on. It almost feels like a pressure change and then the world goes quiet. My kids can now each listen to their tablets and don't complain about difficulty hearing when my friend and I chat in the front seat. It's a nice break for me and a nice break for them. These are extremely soft and comfortable. They're technically too big for my 4 yr old's head, but she works with them anyway because of how much better the sound is. My 6 yr old does great with them. They pair very easily. I got a set in pink and navy blue. The blue is nearly black, but again, the quality is so good my youngest doesn't care. I wanted to get them both pink, but I knew we'd have difficulty matching them to the correct tablets. This way we have pink with the pink tablet and blue with the purple tablet. It'd be cool if they made a nice purple color. The aux cord also works great and creates nice sound quality. I plugged them into my kids' electric piano and they were able to bang away to their hearts' delight without overstimulating me lol. The battery life also seems good. I legit forget to charge them and the girls are able to use them over several days. They don't use them more than an hour a day, but I know they aren't turning them off. So, the headphones are smart enough to shut down after enough time disconnected from a device to conserve battery power. The only negative I can think of for these is the head adjustment can pinch your finger really bad. I've punched my finger about three times trying to adjust it back to fully closed and each of my kids have pinched their fingers once. Now they ask me to deal with the adjustments. Other than that. I wish they made a sound protective kid size! The noise cancellation helps quiet outside noise, so having a max decibel system could be so nice for the kids without having difficulty hearing their devices.

I replaced a broken high-priced set of headphones with these, and honestly, I don’t regret it at all. These are excellent headphones in pretty much every way that matters for everyday listening. The sound quality is surprisingly good, with strong bass, clear vocals, and enough detail for music, movies, and podcasts. The active noise cancelling also works far better than I expected at this price point and does a good job reducing background noise. They’re comfortable to wear for long periods thanks to the soft ear cushions and lightweight design. Battery life has also been excellent, lasting much longer than many older premium headphones I’ve owned. Bluetooth connection is stable, controls are easy to use, and overall build quality feels solid. For the money, these punch way above their price range. Overall, these completely changed my expectations for budget-friendly headphones.

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.

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!

I really liked them!!! Not expensive and good quality and sound. I really love it 🥰 is not heavy, have an app to choose the different types of sounds and give the chance to configure it with two devices at ones. Also, can be use to do calls because they works as AirPods or whatever other brand of devices to do calls. I bought it to use it during my training in the gym and I just loved it. I use the cancellation noise and is just fantastic and the battery last for days or even weeks in one charge. (Like 60 hours) and if you don’t have too much time, with 5 minutes of charge you get 4 hours, so as I said before, it does the job, not expensive, good quality for the right amount of money 🤷🏻‍♀️😇. I get them in promotion for $39.99 so the best choise.

Let me first say this is the very first five star review of ever posted anywhere. Product for price, it's a fantastic value the headset is lightweight and extremely comfortable, it doesn't flop on my head or doesn't squeeze my head. The main feature is the sound quality and the transparency mode or none noise canceling, in the transparency mode the pass through noises or very close to ambient quality that you don't even know you have headset on . For someone who depends on their hearing for even navigating the streets that factor is very important. All in all the quality of the headset rivals products for $200 or $300.

These headphones seriously exceeded my expectations. For the price, the quality is incredibly good. The sound is clear and enjoyable, the active noise cancelling works surprisingly well, and they are also very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. One thing I really love is how soft and cushioned the ear pads feel. The material is smooth, plush, and very comfortable against the ears, which makes using them feel extra nice. The color is also beautiful in person, and overall the headphones look much more premium than I expected. Honestly, I don’t feel like they look or perform cheap at all compared to some much more expensive brands. If you are looking for stylish, comfortable headphones with good sound quality and solid noise cancelling without spending a fortune, I definitely recommend these!

Using now for 3 months and I love it !! Nice and good quality song and good battery life. Active noise reduction working also well.

Dobra izolacja, dużo basu

These are fantastic earphones for the price. I use them for my work calls.

Definitely 5 stars for the price. I am got these to replace my Sony MDR 1000x (basically the old version of the XM4). Which were 5 X more expensive than these. I beat of my headphones, running, using them for the gym, lots of travel and being thrown into bags. So I decided to go for a cheaper option this time. Although my Sony's lasted almost 10 years I had to keep repairing them myself to keep them going. So here's my comparison against a pretty premium pair of headphones- my wife also has Bose QC35's and I've used them plenty too. Pros: - Sound Isolation is amazing, it has a very good seal over the ears (I have a big head and ears too) - Very comfortable, and suprisingly light. Ear cups feel memory foamish - noise cancelling is pretty great, and it doesn't cause discomfort like some cheap NC - Bass is powerful if you like that - they look good and feel of reasonable quality - the battery is as advertised Cons: - Sound quality over all is not spectacular, but good for the price. The bass is good but the mids and highs are a bit muddy. Honestly though it's completely fine and probably the best sound you'll get around this price. - Turning on the Noise cancelling causes a noticeable dip in sound quality. Although the NC is very impressive, it definitely causes the sound quality to become a bit more tinny. While the bass is still there. Everything else gets washed out. I find myself needing to change EQ settings when I turn NC On and Off. For this reason I have been using them with NC off mostly ( a bit annoying too as it defaults to being on everytime) So if you're tossing up between getting these or breaking the bank. Just know the main thing you'll sacrifice is sound quality. The NC is good, the soundcore app is nice enough, they look good and even sound decent enough. I'm perfectly happy to use these instead of more expensive headphones.

Ich bin absolut baff, was man hier für sein Geld bekommt. Ich habe nach einer preiswerten Alternative zu den teuren High-End-Modellen gesucht und mit dem Q20i einen Volltreffer gelandet. Meine Highlights: • Ruhe auf Knopfdruck (ANC): Die Geräuschunterdrückung ist für diese Preisklasse phänomenal. Das monotone Brummen in der Bahn oder der Lärm im Büro werden fast komplett geschluckt. Endlich konzentriert arbeiten! • Soundcore App: Ein riesiger Pluspunkt! Man kann den Sound über den Equalizer in der App perfekt anpassen. Wer Bass mag, wird den "BassUp"-Modus lieben. • Akkulaufzeit: Die angegebenen 40 Stunden (mit ANC) sind absolut realistisch. Ich muss sie gefühlt nur alle zwei Wochen mal an den Strom hängen. • Tragekomfort: Die Polster sind super weich. Auch nach einer langen Bahnfahrt hatte ich kein Drücken an den Ohren. Ein kleiner Hinweis: Die Kopfhörer sind zwar stabil verbaut, wirken aber natürlich etwas "plastiklastiger" als 300-Euro-Modelle – aber mal ehrlich: Bei dem Sound und der Ausstattung ist das Meckern auf extrem hohem Niveau. Fazit: Wer ein begrenztes Budget hat, aber nicht auf aktives Noise Cancelling und satten Sound verzichten will, MUSS hier zugreifen. Anker hat hier mal wieder geliefert!
