Soundcore by Anker Life Q30 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones with Multiple Modes, Hi-Res Sound, Custom EQ via App, 40H Playtime, Comfortable Fit,Connect to 2 Devices (Renewed)

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.

Best ever high value headphone ever, if ur ear got hurt by wearing AirPods Long time. It is the best and upgraded iyems, So comfortable! And quality of sound is amazing for this price. Will buy another one for my son.

Pros: - Good battery life, I use 1-3 hrs/day and charge maybe once a week, never gotten a low battery warning. - Very light, I use on an exercise bike and forget I'm wearing them. - Looks nice. - Bluetooth switches from phone to computer almost instantly. - Comfortable fit. Cons: - To turn the headphones on/off you must hold the power button for 3sec. I understand the point is so you don't accidentally turn them off, but it is tedious, I would prefer maybe 1 second. - I don't like the noise cancelation feature - it hurts my ears. I'm fine with noise cancellation on other devices like airpods, but something about the Q30's gives me a headache. This wouldnt be a problem for me because I rarely use that feaure, except noise canceling is the default when turning the headphones on. Wish I could change that setting. - The cushions feel weaker than other headphones ive tried, although this allows them to be softer so there is a tradeoff for comfort instead of durability, up to personal preference. I may be nitpicking with the cons because overall the headphones work great and I am not going to return them. Just some things to be aware of.

I had the Q20+ before these, and I thought they were great ... until I got the Q30's! I guess my ears must be a little on the larger side, and they would always ache when I wore the old phones for a while. But now with the Q30's that's a thing of the past! I can wear them for hours with no discomfort. The band across the top of the head is also very comfortable, the padding seems much more substantial. They also appear to be much better quality. And the battery life is amazing. Even after using them literally all day, they'll usually still be above 50% Lastly the noise cancelling is really great. I though my old phones were good in that regard but these are even better. I'll frequently wear them all day just for the ANR, even when I don't have anything playing through them. There are also more options for customizing the ANR with different modes. One other nice feature is that when toggling between ANR, normal and transparent modes, it doesn't talk. That was super annoying with the old Q20's. It would say "Normal" or "Transparency," and while it was saying that it would completely cut off any sound that was playing, rather than just talking over it. This was super annoying if I was talking to someone and they'd cut out for a second or two while the phones would be telling me what I already knew (because really, you can HEAR which mode you're in by the change in noise!) Another really great thing about these is no more always-on LED lights! This is nice when you're wearing them at night. They also have a hard case, which is really nice, and should help protect them for a much longer life. All in all they're very comfortable and I'm very happy with them. The one down side is that they are even bigger than the Q20's ... obviously, because otherwise they'd pinch my ears too. Can't very well be bigger on the inside and smaller on the outside!

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.

I got these because I saw that my father had gifted these to my little sister and I actually stole them for a bit before buying them because at first, I didn't want to spend the original $84 I saw them for under Anker's store... that was until I found these renewed for $71... and in pink because I'm a pink fanatic and have to have anything and everything in pink hahaha. The sound quality on these is fantastic. Not only that but they are extremely comfortable and feel very nice and very high quality. The battery on these also lasts for a VERY long time. I can use these for 8 hours in a day and still have charge for when I'm on my way to work for 2 more days! I rarely have to charge them. The noise cancelation is great on these, but doesn't work very well with things like ASMR and podcasts, which knocks off a star on the noise cancelation scale but can probably be easily fixed with the app, which, YOU SHOULD GET IT. It makes your music listening experience so much more personalized and awesome! I don't want to go back to Anker's auto sound setting because of it. Also, there are 3 different noise cancelation settings in the app too, which is cool. I didn't know that until I downloaded the app. I was also pleasantly surprised that I got pretty much brand new, especially when I read that these might come with no packaging. The only thing that was really opened was the headphones box, which only had a small tear in it. All in all, get these!!! You won't be disappointed! They are worth every pretty penny I spent on them!

had this for about two years. Its easy to use and the sound quality is great. I love the two modes, noise cancelling and one where you can hear what other people are saying. I would recommend this product!

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.
