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.

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!

I have had these headphones since July of 2022. About 6 months ago they developed a stress fracture on the sliding mechanism above the right ear up. Unlike other reviewers, I have not had any issues with any of padding lifting or coming off the headphones. The connectivity is overall solid - I can walk pretty far away from my device and still have audio. However, about 2 years into owning them, about 3-5 times a week, the sound becomes garbled (like someone talking into an oscillating fan). Turning the headphones off and then back on again fixes the issue, but it is bit annoying. They are VERY comfortable and I can wear them for 12+ hours with no issues or contact fatigue. The biggest selling point for me. The sound is pretty good, and meet my needs. I’ve had no complaints from anyone regarding the sound of the microphone on their end. They are by far my favorite sounding headphones, but I’m not an audiophile, so I’ll leave those opinions to others. The battery life is excellent and I can get through about 10 business days without charging them. The case that they come with is great and I use it any time I take them out of the house. Overall, for a refurbished pair, these are an excellent choice with great long-lasting comfort. My only reservation is the durability given that I take excellent care of them. I would (and do so regularly ) recommend these to others, particularly at the sixty-ish dollar price point. They are an excellent value, despite the issues above.

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.

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.

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!

These are exactly what I was looking for. They cancel out all sound which makes it great using them during paranormal evidence review. Highly recommended will be buying more for team members.

The product was described as "refurbished - excellent" but it was clearly completely snapped apart and super glued together. It's still functions and sounds great, but it was not physically as described.

O Anker Life Q30 é um excelente fone de ouvido com cancelamento de ruído ativo que oferece uma ótima qualidade de som e um bom isolamento de ruído, apesar de ainda permitir a entrada de algum ruído externo. Além disso, a duração da bateria é excepcional e a distância do Bluetooth é excelente, permitindo que você se mova livremente enquanto ouve suas músicas favoritas. Embora alguns usuários tenham relatado que o tempo de carregamento pode ser um pouco longo, isso é compensado pela longa duração da bateria. Além disso, embora a conexão Bluetooth possa ser afetada por interferências ou obstáculos, isso é comum em todos os dispositivos Bluetooth e não é uma limitação exclusiva do Anker Life Q30. No geral, o Anker Life Q30 é uma ótima escolha para quem procura um fone de ouvido com cancelamento de ruído ativo confiável, com ótima qualidade de som e durabilidade da bateria, além de uma boa distância de Bluetooth. É uma excelente opção para quem deseja ouvir música em ambientes ruidosos, se concentrar no trabalho ou simplesmente desfrutar de um som de qualidade enquanto se move livremente. Obs.: Comprei em Fevereiro e recentemente a capa das almofadas abriram (mantenho todos os cuidados recomendados), fiquei decepcionada com o acontecido, pois, acredito que não seja possível substituir. Não compraria de novo devido apenas por esse problema.

The Anker life Q30 headset is a great performer for a bluetooth ANC headset. It is pretty well constructed, comfortable. I found the sound to be good, better than my bose QC 35ii, the ANC is also pretty good even if it is a touch below the Bose. Soundstage is wide for a bluetooth closed-back, sound signature is bassy out of the box but the EQ within the app allows for a much more balanced sound (I choose the Acoustic preset EQ) as well as multiple settings for the active noise cancelation. The Anker were delivered in a solid case with a USB -C cable and a 3.5 mm cable that I still did not use. Physical buttons are handy, and allow to switch on and off the headphones, to switch from Normal, to noise canceling, to transparency mode (I found this former mode to be also good, and you can also active it touching the right earcup with the palm of your hand for 2 seconds). Other physical buttons give the possibility to turn the volume up and down, to switch tracks and play/pause your music. Overall I'm very satisfied with the purchase as I find the price/performance ratio to be trully awesome even impressive. No comments about the phone calls fonction as I only use the Life Q30 to listen to music, I read that the last update considerably improved the microphone sound though. Overall 5 stars rating as you can't expect much better for such a low price. Well done Anker !

Generally, I am satisfied... BUT my headphones sometimes just switch off. I've been observing this for a few weeks now, and it started right at the beginning. It's not a matter of charging, and it happens when they are just in noise-cancelling. I'm hoping the seller can shed some light on this, if not I'll have to send them back — unfortunately, as I don't like to send things back and produce more garbage.

I had to order 2 of these. The first set I ordered was an Amazon Renewed item and they just didn't sound good at all. Based upon my previous experience with Soundcore products (4 pairs of wireless earbuds), I knew these weren't performing properly do, I returned them and ordered a brand new set. The new pair actually arrived early and I immediately put them to.the test. I listen to all.tyoes if music and, in a nutshell, these really impressed me. Now, I have stated in previous reviews that I am.an audiophile from way back in the ups and 80s and have used some of the finest headphones made from such manufacturers as Sennheiser, Koss, AKG, Beyerdynamics, etc. and, while I won't insult anyone by saying these are anywhere near that calibre, these cost 2% of what those cost. I do not like using the disclaimer of "for the price" because, for me at least, they either sound good or they do not, regardless of price. These are bit bass heavy right out of the box so, unless you are an out and out bass head, you will likely need to go into the Soundcore app and work with the EA presets or the custom EQ to tailor the sound how you like it. This is not a complicated taskand can show you the real potential of these headphones. Now, I do not care about ANC. I never use it. I do use transparency mode suite often and it works well with these headphones and the ability to tap the right earcuos to engage it is a nice touch. As for the build equality, these feel solid and feel like they will last a long time. The headband is comfortable and flexible without creaking. The earcups are deep, large and soft with a protein leather covering that, do far, has not been overly warm. So I would rare these as Very comfortable overall, and I have a large head The inclyede hard case is a nice touch and the headphones fold and fit nicely into it. Included with the headphones is a USB-C charging cable and 4.5mm aux cable do these can be used wired. So....do I recommend these? Yes! They are comfortable, feel durable, are versatile as far as functionality and, most important, they deliver a really nice audio experience with all genres of music. I got the black version but I have to say that the blue version is beautiful. You'll enjoy these!! PROS *Comfortable, even for large heads and ears *.Flexible and durable *Excellent sound quality *Long battery life *Ability to be used wire*ANC & Transparency mode work.wrll *Hard 5ravel case included *Attractive look *NFC fast pairing CONS *A tad heavy *Button layout is a bit cumbersome but you'll get used to it.
