Soundcore Anker Life Q20 Hybrid Lively Noise Cancelling Headphones, Wi-fi Over Ear Bluetooth Headphones, 60H Playtime, Hello-Res Audio, Deep Bass, Reminiscence Foam Ear Cups, for Journey, Residence Workplace

Unbeatable Price:Performance!
I’ve had the Soundcore Q20 headphones for almost a month now, and I thought I’d start off my review with one simple statement: I’ve only charged these things ONCE since I’ve taken them out of the box. These headphones have absolutely phenomenal battery life. The only reason I charged them was because I wanted to test how long they would last on a full charge (within my day to day use). I received these headphones on the 1st of April. It is currently the 27th of April and the battery is still at “Medium” (there is no visual indicator, however there is a voice that tells you whether your battery is “High”, “Medium”, or “Low”).
That being said, I’ll go ahead and list some Pros:
– Battery Life (Seriously, I can’t stress enough how good it is)
– Sound Quality
– Comfort
– Looks
– Sturdiness/Build Quality
– Noise Cancellation (there’s a caveat here, continue reading to see what I mean)
BATTERY LIFE:
As if I haven’t already said enough, these headphones refuse to die. I’ve used them from anywhere between an hour to 3-4 hours at a time (long gaming sessions or binging a show on my laptop or phone), and they just don’t let up. Like I mentioned in the intro, it’s been almost an entire month with these headphones and I’ve only had to charge them once. It is worth mentioning that the battery will drain much faster with noise-cancelling turned on, as it is indeed ACTIVE noise-cancelling and uses more power. I’ve got to give props to Anker for marketing these as lasting 40 hours, as this runtime is more accurate when noise-cancelling is ON. With ANC off, these can easily last 60+ hours. It’s always refreshing to see a company slightly under-sell and over-deliver.
SOUND QUALITY:
These things sound way better than they should at this price-point. I wouldn’t call myself an audiophile, but I do have experience with over-ear, closed-back studio headphones (I own a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50x’s), and dabble in amateur sound mixing/mastering as a guitarist. Apart from being just a bit heavier on the bass than I would like, these headphones do an excellent job at bringing out lows, mids, and highs in pretty much anything you’ll find yourself listening to. Nothing sounds drowned out or overexposed (with the exception of the bass, but there’s a valid reason for it in this case). I bought these headphones primarily for multimedia consumption (movies, video games, music, etc.). They have just the right amount of punch in the low-end to make things such as explosions or bass-heavy sound effects really shine. In this instance, the heavier low-end makes sense. Voices sound crystal clear, as the mids don’t get drowned out by the lows or highs like on some other higher-priced headphones (looking at you, Beats..). The highs are where these things truly shine, in my opinion. Lots of budget headphones tend to sound very “tinny” with harsh, sharp highs to over-compensate for the overly-saturated bass, but these do a great job at keeping both the mids and highs prominent enough (despite the thicker bass).
COMFORT:
I’ve owned and used plenty of both over-ear and on-ear headphones over the years, and I can’t beat around the bush here: these are the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever used. I was expecting to have to “break them in”, given what some of the other reviews were saying, but the minute I put these on I was pleasantly surprised at just how soft and light these felt (without feeling cheap or flimsy). And I wear glasses!
LOOKS:
Not a whole lot to say about how these look. I wouldn’t say you’ll be turning heads while wearing these out and about, but for the amount of money that they cost.. I’m just saying they could’ve looked a lot worse. I’ve seen headphones three times the price that are a complete eye-sore. The Q20s are clean and minimalistic, without giving away its low price.
STURDINESS/BUILD QUALITY:
Although I’m not one to man-handle my devices (no matter how little they may cost), I have to say that these don’t feel the least bit flimsy. I did a mild stress-test by stretching both ear cups apart as far as I was comfortable with and was able to get about 10 inches wide. I don’t think anyone has a head that wide, but if you do, these are definitely going to fit. The build quality feels great, and I feel like these will definitely last a while (and I will be updating this review if that changes lol).
NOISE CANCELLATION:
These headphones do indeed have active noise cancelling, BUT.. I literally almost NEVER use it. Here’s why: they don’t need it. The headphones are built in such a way that even with the ANC off, they drown out a ton of outside noise. Unfortunately, there is a significant drop in volume when noise-cancelling is activated. The bass takes a hit as well, making it more evened out with the mids and highs (which might be a plus for some).
FINAL THOUGHTS:
There’s only really one “Con” that I wasn’t going to mention, and that’s the carrying bag that comes with the Q20s. There’s nothing really wrong with it, but I did just want to note that they used to come with a hard carrying case (according to some older YouTube reviews), and I’m a little salty that us newer buyers don’t get that lol. All in all, for the $60 that I paid for these headphones, I can’t think of any reason not to fully recommend them. They sound great, the battery life lasts incredibly long (almost to a suspicious degree, making you feel like today is finally the day it’ll need a charge only to be proven wrong), it’s got decent looks, solid build, and they even threw in Active Noise Cancellation for situations that call for some extra silence. If you’re in the market for some new headphones for multimedia consumption (I definitely would not use these for any professional work, as they are not made for that), and have a bit of a stiffer budget, look no further. These will do more than its price tag leads on.

Good quality for price, excellent warranty support
I bought these about 17 months ago, and have used them as my daily drivers for work.
Pros:
* Excellent Battery life: A charge lasts me the whole week and into the weekend, with about 50% of the time ANC on
* ANC is good and effective
* Sound quality is solid, with good bass and ok trebles/mids
* Build quality is better than expected for the price. No cracked/flaking cushions after over a year, hinges are all still solid and intact even after daily use and tumbling around in my backpack.
* Earcups breathe well enough to not end up with sweaty ears sitting at a desk
* Warranty is solid (see below)
Cons:
* No ANC unless you are connected via bluetooth
* No hard case
* Voice mic is not great — don’t expect to use them for clear calls.
* Died after just under a year and a half (see note)
Warranty Note: My original pair stopped powering on after about 17 months. Looked up on SoundCore’s website, saw it had an 18 month warranty and submitted a claim on the site. Response was quick (within a business day) and after a little back and forth with diagnostics and order verification, they honored the warranty without trouble, and sent me a new pair. Fulfilled by Amazon, they were here the next business day. That is some solid service. Unfortunate that they stopped working but glad the warranty is a good one.

Si bien no soy como otras personas un “reviewer profesional” o que me dedique a esto, puedo dar los suguientes puntos en base a mi experiencia personal tantoc o melomano como musico por hobbie.
En mi uso de audifonos tengo algunos en gama y costos similares, como son los JBL LIVE 500, Audio-technica ar3bt, Urbanista Seattle….
Estos Anker mi primera impresion fue, que tenian bastante bajos que ensuciaban el resto de la pista, a diferencia de los otros 3 modelos que mencione eh utilizado… si bien no me desagradaba, estaba considerando la calidad de audio que ofrecen los puse en ultimo lugar de mi lista de gadgets…
PERO O SORPRESA….cuando active el Anc (cancelacion de ruida activa) wwoow…. si bien por si sola la cancelacion pasiva hace muy buen trabajo, esta funcion mejora levemente la eliminacion de ruido ambiental, PERO, tambien cambian las frecuencias la musica que estas escuchando dandele una sensasion de amplitud y claridad a la musica que no tenian en mis anteriores audifonos. Los bajos pasaron a estar en segundo plano, OJO no desaparecen simplemente todo esta en un mejor balance, pero con esto todos los intrumentos escuchando rock, suenan claros estan presentes, mejoro bastante la calidad del sonido y precencia en escenario. En musica electronica tambien tienen una sobresaliente actuacion por sus bajos y potenciador de bajos electronicos que activas con un boton en los audifonos.
CONCLUSION, recomendados!!!! definitivamente Anker es una marca que lo viene hacieno bien ultimamente.
MATERIALES, CONSTRUCCION Y PRESENTACION, si bien la caja y los empacas no son de lo mas eleborado y lujoso, hasta parecieran algo de baja calidad, los audifonos los partes plasticas se ven de muy buena calidad, definitivo parece que soportaran el uso diario y algo de trato rudo pueden soportar si los cargas en tu mochila con mas cosas. Las almohadillas cubren bien tu oreja y te aislan del ruido exterior, son comodas, un poco calientes al ser piel sintetica, pero tolerables.

The noise cancelling is good, sound levels are fine, not heavy on the head, nor is it clunky, Bluetooth connection is fast and never troubles, easy to bring around, and the material is sort of cheap feeling if I were to nit-pick but it’s enduring greatly!
Overall good pair of headphones. Likely not the best for audiophiles though.

Casque utilisé par mon fils qui ne le quitte plus. Je l’ai personnellement essayé est franchement, j’ai trouvé le son très bon et le confort vraiment pas mal. Il est utilisable sans fil évidemment mais est également livré avec un câble jack si besoin. Bon produit.
