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

These headphones are soooo comfy and they sound superb! The battery life is excellent, especially compared to earbuds, and the noise canceling works great. I also love the “transparency mode,” which lets ambient sound in through the headphones instead of blocking it out. I often watch movies with my long-distance bestie, so it lets me hear the movie clearly while talking to her on the phone.I recently bought a pair of Sony WH-1000XM4s to compare, and I couldn’t hear a noticeable difference in sound quality — definitely not a ~$300 difference. These are also significantly more comfortable than the Sonys (softer cushions and lighter weight), plus they come in pink!

My headphones that I had been using for years were worn out and it was time to buy new ones. Those didn't have noise cancelation. I wanted a good pair with that feature without having to spend a fortune. I bought these on sale for $55 and they're the best headphones I've ever had. They're super comfortable and fit really well. I listen to podcasts while I work and my old headphones would get uncomfortable after a while. I've had no issues with these. The noise cancelling is amazing, especially considering the price. I go into the office two days a week and the people that sit behind me talk constantly. If I have these on I can't hear them at all. They're also light and easy to take with me. There's a soundcore app to customize your settings which is great. I love listening to music with these, it's like a whole new experience. If you're looking for quality, budget friendly headphones these are it!

Anker Soundcore Life Q30's. I've had 2 pairs. I used my first pair with my computer which is in the living room. I'm the primary care giver for my 95 year old mother who has dementia so I have to stay near enough to keep an eye on her at all times. I wanted good noise cancelling so I could listen to music or audio books instead of being stuck watching television all the time which is kept on for her entertainment.My first pair was fabulous. They were comfortable on my head. They paired to my computer easily and with only the occasional glitch that required removing them and repairing them to the computer they worked well, sounded great and the only complaint I had was as they aged, plastic bits started to break off near the slide adjustments and the thin leather cover on the earpieces began to crack and flake. The breaking plastic did not impede use or the feel of them on my head and some cheap covers over the ear pieces solved the inconvenience of have small bits of leather stuck to my face after use, lol. Even when I upgraded to Windows 11 from Windows 10, the Q30's made the transition with no problem. They lasted 4 years and I was so happy with them that when they saw their last day, I ordered a new pair.Unfortunately, the new Life Q30 (Upgraded) version will not stay paired to my computer. The pair up is easy, but the pairing lasts about 20 seconds then disconnects. I have tried every trouble shooting trick recommended including resetting the headphones and everything in between. I stopped short of removing my Bluetooth software and reinstalling it which I felt was a bridge too far for something like this. I ended up contacting Anker's tech support and explained all I had done and asked if there was anything else I could try.The upshot was they thought I had done everything possible and that the headphones must be defective and so they sent me a new pair. I hate to say it, but the new pair won't stay connected either! I have no clue what the problem is! It's especially frustrating because I can easily pair these to my android phone and they work fine. No disconnects, nothing. They're great with my phone, just not my computer!Anyway, I've purchased a different brand of headphones in the hope they will work with the computer, have kept the new Q30's I purchased to use with my phone and gave the replacement pair from Anker to my brother. I still recommend the Q30's just note that they may not work with every device. Unless perhaps you are a computer whiz who knows the perfect adjustment to make them work. If you do, please comment on my review and let me know!!

I bought these in July 2023 & never left a review. For nearly 2 years they have served me well.I use them for video calls & meetings as well as music. I also have sensory issues that make wearing headphones very helpful, but finding a pair that I can comfortably wear *very* challenging.They're lightweight & flexible enough to be comfortable for hours of continuous wear, sound quality is good, and the noise canceling is decent. They definitely don't provide silence, but they block low level background noise & dull sharp sounds enough that I can function.I've carried them around without the case in a variety of environments, dropped them, accidentally smacked them against the car door & other hard surfaces, and they've held up surprisingly well- not even a scuff mark! It took about 18 months before the soft vinyl cover of the ear muff pad began to split along the seam on one side. If I cared for them properly it would probably not have done that, but I didn't. Now the other side is also splitting so I'm looking to replace them- which is the only reason I realized I didn't leave a review to begin with.That soft vinyl? It's one of the things that makes them so comfortable to wear. The flexible frame helps too.I'll probably buy the same ones again as a replacement.
