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…

I bought these with pretty high expectations, especially after seeing all the positive reviews and claims about big bass and Hi-Res sound. After using them, I’d say the sound quality is decent but not amazing. The bass is noticeable, but the overall clarity and richness of the audio just aren’t as impressive as I hoped. Music sounds fine, but it doesn’t have that “wow” factor I was expecting.

That said, a lot of other things about these headphones are really good. The noise cancelling works well and does a solid job of blocking out background sounds. Battery life is great. they last a long time on a single charge, which is super convenient. The build quality feels sturdy, and the foam ear cushions are extremely comfortable, even during longer listening sessions. I can wear them for hours without any discomfort, which is a big plus.

Overall, I’d still give them 4 stars because they’re reliable, comfortable, and packed with useful features. I just really wish the sound quality matched everything else. If the audio were a bit better, these would easily be perfect.

C’est un super casque, la qualité sonore est impeccable pour son prix. Je vois conseillerais de prévoir le remplacement des coussinets d’oreilles car après plusieurs mois d’utilisation, vous aurez une usure de ces derniers. Prévoyez également de les remplacer par des coussinets d’une autre matière… Pas très cher sur un autre site…

Batteritiden är förvånansvärt bra och jag uppskattar att en laddning håller iaf några veckor och då använder jag dem i snitt varje dag minst 2 h. Sköna men som med alla hörlurar så blir ju öronen ömma efter ett tag om man bär dem länge. Däremot så upplever jag detta något mindre än med tidigare hörlurar av samma typ. Du kan koppla ihop två enheter samtidigt och med appen soundcore kan man justera saker ytterligare. Däremot kan jag uppleva någon slags brus som blåst ibland när man går runt med dem på.

I bought these a few months ago, and now after a fair amount of use, I think I can give an informed review.
I have a pretty savvy ear, so I am very critical of things like headphones, speakers, etc. From a sound quality perspective, especially if you use an EQ (either with the free app on your phone or software / hardware on other devices), these sound very good. Not audiophile quality, but very, very good. I am quite impressed. Even without an EQ, they are clean and crisp, and EQ isn’t really needed, I’m just a sound nerd who likes being able to make minute adjustments.
These are the first noise cancelling headphones I’ve ever had, and I literally cannot believe how well it works. I am the type of person that cannot sleep on airplanes, but the first time used these on a plane, I slept like a baby. Your mileage may vary, but I am a noise cancelling convert based on these.
The Bluetooth range is also wild. I’m currently in my garage, connected to my laptop which is upstairs, through an outside wall, about 40 feet away. No issues and no dropouts.
Comfort wise, they are great. I have big ears and they fit over them fine. They are also incredibly light – I mentioned the time I used them on an airplane – four hours and no strain whatsoever.
I haven’t used them for calls so can’t speak to the mic quality etc.
Battery life is also phenomenal. I have probably 30+ hours on them and have not had to charge.
I’m not sure about longevity if mistreated – ie, just tossed into a bag or something. I would suggest getting a hard case for them, but would suggest that for anything really. I’m sure the ear muffs will get trashed eventually, just through regular use, but that’s the same with any over ear cans.
I got them on sale – but even at regular price, these are worth it. A sleeper product for sure. Buy with confidence.

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.
