Q30 by Anker, Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones with Travel Pouch, Multiple Modes, Hi-Res Audio, Custom EQ via App, 50H Playtime, Comfortable Fit, Bluetooth, Multipoint Connection

I LOVE these headphones, definitely the best set I've ever used. I'm autistic and have a lot of sensory issues - particularly around loud noises, but also having things in/over my ears. I've tried countless sets of earbuds, which I find incredibly uncomfortable, and I find most headphones too tight and heavy, so I can't wear them for very long. These have been an absolute game changer. They're incredibly light and comfortable, and I can wear them all day without any problems. The sound quality is great, and I love that the app allows you to choose different levels of noise cancellation depending on your environment. The noise cancellation doesn't completely cancel out noise, which I personally prefer as I like to be aware of what's going on around me. You can use the noise cancellation without any audio, which I quite often do as an alternative to earplugs. They also connect with a wire, which I find really useful for gaming. The only issue I've found with this is that you can't control the audio volume. These headphones are amazing and are such great value. I would recommend them to anyone, but they're particularly good if you have sensory issues.

I bought these for my music and Gaming loving 20 year old for Christmas, as they'd asked for headphones and I was in a budget this year. Initially I was going to buy them a set of Sienheissers as I'd bought my partner them for his birthday and he loved them. But not having the means to do that I did some research and came up with these. For sound, functionality, noise cancelling and comfort they are on a par with, if not better than earphones I've paid hundreds of pounds for. The only difference is these have functioning buttons instead of the buttonless tap function.

FULL DISCLOSURE, I am not an audio producer or a tech expert or a music mogul. I have an audio sensitivity disorder and so use Active Noise Cancelling headphones to get through the day without wanting to tear my hair out and/or jump in the village pond. That is the angle this review will be coming from. SOUND QUALITY - THE PROS - Sounds good to a layman - As previously stated, I've no skin in this game. But sounds good to me! It also comes with an app (which DOESN'T require you to sign up, you can skip that step, hurrah!) that allows you to fiddle with the equalizer. Again, means absolutely nothing to me and I've no idea what I'm doing with it (there are fortunately various pre-made settings to choose from for that exact purpose), but nice to have. SOUND QUALITY - THE CONS - My AUX cord arrived broken - The subheading sums it up. The fresh-out-of-the-box AUX cord was broken by the first time I plugged it in. The music was extremely quiet and echoey when using it, so I tried the headphones with a different AUX cord from around the house and the sound quality was fine. (To be certain it was the SoundCore cord, I tried it with a different brand of headphones that I knew worked well and they sounded bad too). Fortunately, I have spare AUX cords, so I don't know if I'll bother taking this up with Anker, but I thought I'd mention it. ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION - THE PROS - Good noise cancellation - Works really well! My neighbour helped me test this out by being particularly noisy the other afternoon. I didn't ask him to, he just likes to help me test my ANC headphones on the regular by blasting loud music and letting his children pummel the stairs into dust. And wonderfully, when wearing the headphones with noise cancellation on (no music playing) I couldn't hear a thing! - Different settings available - I was using the 'indoors' setting at the time of my test, but the headphones come with two more settings: 'outdoors' for those walks in the park we're all having right now, and 'transport'. You can change them via the app. I haven't tried the outdoors or transport settings, as I use my headphones primarily in the house (and due to current circumstances, I'm not really leaving it at the minute). You also have a 'transparency' mode that uses the in-built microphone to amplify instead of dampen sound, so you can hear whatever is going on around you without having to take the headphones off. Not too useful, since you can just take them off, but nice to have! - Battery life good - The headphones came with 'medium' battery life, and I used them for four days, hours at a time with ANC, before the battery level displayed as low on my phone. Gave them a charge, took under an hour to get to full. ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION - THE CONS - Not total silence - The indoor setting won't drown out loud sounds coming from a nearby source completely, such as people talking or the washing machine on a spin cycle. It will dampen the sounds significantly, e.g. speech will be muffled, but they will still be audible. Don't buy this expecting total silence! - ANC is fiddly to use - My previous ANC headphones had separate switches for the ANC and the bluetooth connection, which meant I could use them for ANC without turning them on. This is really handy for someone with an audio sensitivity, as it meant I could just put the headphones on my head, flick on ANC, and whatever sound was upsetting me would be drowned out. These headphones DON'T have that. To use ANC, you MUST turn them on. Even if you're using them wired, you HAVE to turn them on, while wired, to use ANC. If you unplug from that wire (maybe you're at your computer and want to get up without taking your headphones off) they will turn themselves off. I assume that's to save power, so you don't forget to turn them off yourself, but it means if I get up, I have to turn them back on if I want to keep using ANC while I'm pottering about (due to my audio sensitivity). And when you plug back in, they make the power down sound, but seconds later, will remember they're still on the clock and tell you the battery level as if they've just switched on. Not only that, but--though I appreciate having the 'normal', 'transparency', and 'ANC' modes--it doesn't tell you which you have on when you power up the device. It tells you the battery level religiously, but not whether you're on ANC or normal or transparency. To find out, I just cycle through the modes until I get the one I want, since they're all on the same button. I just wish the ANC had its own separate button, so it could be switched on/off at will, no fuss. THE DESIGN - PROS - Good ear cup fit - I hadn't realised just how poorly my last over-ear headphones went over my ears until I tried these ones. They fully encompass the ears and give a really comfortable fit around that area because of it. Also they're not too heavy, so you can wear them for hours without discomfort. THE DESIGN - CONS - Slightly loose headband fit - The headband looks a bit odd. I feel like a cyberman. However, aesthetics aside, the band not being flat against the head means it's not a secure fit. I'm sure this is done for comfort's sake, but it makes the headphones feel a bit loose. I have them on the tightest setting, and they slide about a bit if I tilt my head, especially if its sudden. However, I have tried being a bit active with them, A.K.A. I've had a dance around, and they haven't fallen off. I think is because the ear cups fit so well. OVERALL A good pair of headphones with all the essentials there: battery life, ANC, and sound quality. However, there are peculiarities in the design and function that may take some time to get used to, and detract from the ease of use. But when the competitors are hundreds of pounds more expensive, it provides a really good offering for the price.

Beautiful headphones, very soft and super comfortable, great sound, easy to use.

W taj kwocie to super słuchawki. Grają świetnie, bardzo ładny bas .. aplikacja i equalizer umożliwiają ustawienie swoich własnych preferencji muzycznych. Jestem bardzo zadowolony z zakupu. ANC działa bardzo dobrze.

مريحة جدا وعزل الصوت فيها ممتاز والكواليتي بتاعتها حلوة اوي كمان البطارية بتقعد كتير جدا وبتتشحن ف ثواني بس كنت اتمنى لو لسة بتيجي مع الشنطة الهارد كفر

Super

Being a devoted fan of Anker products, I've been a satisfied user of the Soundcore Life Dot 2 for the past three years. These earbuds have proven their durability, maintaining excellent condition over time. The remarkable battery backup of 8 hours, coupled with the convenience of the charging case extending it to a week, has contributed to their longevity in my daily use. As someone who values Anker's reliability, the decision to upgrade was driven by the desire for noise-canceling features. While the Soundcore Life Dot 2 served me exceptionally well, the enhanced functionality offered by the newer model with noise cancelation was a compelling reason to make the switch. The brand's consistency in quality and innovation has certainly earned my continued loyalty. I've been enjoying these headphones for the past 2 days during various activities such as walks, movie sessions, and extended music listening, and I must say they've exceeded my expectations. As a self-proclaimed bass head, I can attest that the low-end response is impressive. However, for those seeking a balanced sound, the initial experience might not be as appealing, but the Soundcore app provides a solution with its customizable equalizer. The build quality leans towards plastic, but given the price point, it's well-designed. The ear cups are remarkably soft with good cushioning, providing a comfortable fit. The headrest follows suit, enhancing the overall comfort during extended usage. The active noise cancellation (ANC) is truly noteworthy, giving a tough competition even to premium options like the AirPods Pro. One minor drawback is the transparency mode, which tends to amplify external sounds in windy or crowded environments, sometimes making conversations and wind noise more prominent. Extended use may lead to slightly warm ears, but it's manageable. On the positive side, the Amazon delivery experience was commendable—swift and smooth. The fact that the product came directly from the original supplier adds a layer of trustworthiness. However, I must express dissatisfaction with the delivery personnel who left the parcel unattended outside my door. This could pose a security risk and is an aspect that needs improvement in the overall delivery service.

I’ve been using the Soundcore Q30 for a while now and I’m honestly very impressed, especially considering the price. The active noise cancellation works surprisingly well for everyday use: it blocks out traffic, background chatter, and general noise, making them perfect for studying, traveling, or just vibing in peace. The sound quality is clean and well-balanced, with punchy bass that you can easily customize through the Soundcore app. The EQ options are a huge plus and let you adapt the sound to your taste without any effort. They’re also extremely comfortable, even during long sessions. I can wear them for hours without feeling pressure or discomfort, and the fit feels secure but soft. Battery life is amazing — I barely think about charging them, which is a big win. Bluetooth connection is stable, multipoint works smoothly, and switching between devices is effortless. Overall, these headphones exceeded my expectations and feel much more premium than their price suggests. Highly recommended if you want solid ANC, comfort, and great battery life without spending a fortune.
