Soundcore Life Q20 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Wireless Bluetooth Headphones Over Ear with 40H Playtime, Hi-Res Audio, Deep Bass, Memory Foam Ear Cups and Headband (Renewed)

I’m very impressed with these headphones! At the price point I wasn’t expecting the quality to be high end, but after reading some reviews I hoped they would be an upgrade to my current Skullcandy Indy Evo earbuds that I’ve had for several years (which get pretty uncomfortable after a while, do not have noise cancelling, have had some issues with Bluetooth connection, and don’t carry a charge for very long before needing to be put back in their case). I’m going to break down the key features in my review in order of what I find to be most important for casual, daily use: comfort, noise cancelling, battery life, and sound quality. COMFORT: WOW!!!! These headphones are the most comfortable headphones I think I’ve ever worn! It feels like I’m wearing pillows on my ears, and my ears/head do not get soar after extended use. I recently flew from Massachusetts to Washington state for vacation and wore these headphones for 6-8 hours on the way there and back. I never felt any discomfort! This was very important to me when selecting a pair of headphones because I’m really sensitive to sensory input, especially touch and sound. Basically, if I can feel the headphones too much, it can become unpleasant which starts to distract me from what I’m listening to and makes it difficult to relax. These babies sell on comfort alone in my opinion! A+ NOISE CANCELLING: Remember how I said I’m sensitive to sensory input like sound? The noise cancelling on these bad boys really does help to dull loud, sharp sounds that can be startling. It doesn’t block out noise completely, and that’s not what noise cancelling is supposed to do. I like how if my music is low enough or not playing I can still hear people talking to me, and if I turn my music up to 60% or more it does block out most low frequency sounds. I also found that on the airplane it helped a lot with the aerodynamic noises and even seemed to help reduce some of the pressure from building in my ears (which didn’t pop once!) A+ BATTERY LIFE: This was the feature I was most skeptical about, and they didn’t disappoint! They weren’t kidding or exaggerating about the 40+ hour battery life, and I’m always pleased when products are true to their advertisements. I was mostly using the headphones for 15-20 minutes at a time during work breaks before going on vacation, and after several weeks of use they still had 50% battery life. Before going on my trip, I fully charged them. The charger automatically turns off after they are 100% charged which is a very impressive feature! After both flights (again—6-8 hours of use each flight), and no use during my vacation, the battery was at 60% when I got home. A+ SOUND QUALITY: I wasn’t expecting a whole lot in terms of sound quality at this price point, so I wasn’t disappointed. The sound quality is not top tier, but it is quite good for daily, casual use. I like watching ASMR videos and listening to all kinds of music, and I feel that these headphones deliver satisfying sound quality for my needs. I’m not someone who is big on the highest sound quality when it comes to listening to music, although I do appreciate high quality sound. If you are someone who is looking for top tier specs in sound quality, these may not be for you. The most important thing for me with this feature is that the sound quality isn’t poor, especially at higher volumes. These puppies pack enough quality for me! A Overall, I am extremely pleased with my purchase! These headphones are true to the advertisements and meet my personal needs. 10/10 would recommend!

At the time I purchased these, these refurbished ones we're about $12 less than brand new. If I would have known that I probably would have just bought the brand new ones, but it all worked out because these refurbished ones are indistinguishable from brand new. We ordered these for my daughter for her bus ride to and from school. She has autism and is very much bothered by noises. She been using a pair of Beats but they were not noise canceling and they were on ear instead of over ear... So while looking to buy a pair of over ear and noise canceling headphones we came across these at a super cheap price and figured we would give them a try since we really can't afford to shell out the $200 on a pair of Beats right now. PROS- Sound quality is excellent. Noise canceling is excellent. Very comfortable CONS- Build quality Led indicators No good case SUMMARY - Sound quality is excellent, I don't notice any difference between these and the sound quality on the Beats that she previously used. Noise canceling work extremely well. There is a very noticeable difference when you turn it on. You will not hear anything in the background except for maybe an air horn blaring right behind your head if you're listening to music. Without music on everything is very very low volume. The ear pads on these and the tension it puts on your head is all perfect. Extremely comfortable. The build quality feels flimsy compared to the Beats. Just feels like cheaper plastic and could possibly break easier. Simply by just not being too rougg with them it shouldn't be an issue but just something to note. My biggest negative on these is the LED lights, when you turn them on it flashes to let you know it's connecting but then the lights go out, same with the noise canceling light. It comes on for a short time then goes out. I would prefer these lights would be on all the time when the unit is on that way you know if it's on or not. You actually have to put the headphones on and push the power button to turn them off or on to see whether they are off or on. But I figured out is I could swipe down to the settings on my phone and look at the Bluetooth connection and see if the sound core is listed on there then I know they're on but it would be so much easier just to have a tiny little LED light on the whole time so you know it's on. A tiny LED light is not going to use enough battery to make any difference really. The lack of a hard case is not really a big deal but would be nice considering that as I mentioned build quality is not as sturdy as higher priced models. They do give you a little dust bag but that's about worthless. I don't believe the more expensive Beats that my daughter has came with a hard case either though. And for the price I guess you really can't complain. I'm sure you could buy a hard case pretty inexpensively on Amazon if you really want one and still be much cheaper than the expensive brands. As far as battery life, they seems fine. My daughter uses them on the bus to school and the bus home and that's pretty much it so battery life is not a huge deal with us. Maybe another review could get a better idea of total battery life. All in all it's a good deal on these headphones. For this low price you're not going to find anything anywhere near as good as these I wouldn't expect. Most stuff in this price range is total junk. These are definitely mid to upper grade quality for a low quality price. For what it's worth, my 10-year-old daughter prefers these over the Beats.

Thank goodness modern technology has brought us wireless headphones that are both Bluetooth compatible and have noise-cancelling capabilities! Multiple review sites give the Soundcore Life Q-Series a pretty decent rating, so I bought a pair of Q30's for me (because I am a big audiophile) and I got a pair of Q20s for my wife (moreso for the noise-cancelling capabilities). This review can apply to both models. After a few hours charging, they can last around 40 total hours -- for me, the audiophile, I can use them on a near regular basis for many weeks before I need to charge them up again. There is a voice upon start up that tells you if the charge is high, medium or low, while if you synch them to your computer or smart phone's Bluetooth, you can get a more accurate xx% reading. Though the control buttons are small, you can quickly memorize what button controls what and what input (audio jack for manual, powerless connections or the charger cord) is on what "side" for adjusting on the fly. Audio and music sound good, and they say there is an app where you can fine tune/equalize the sound coming into your ears, and they do a good job of noise cancelling -- including on airplane travel. The size adjustments also work well. They fold up nicely and fit into a hard-shell carrying case when not in use or while traveling. Despite all of the good stuff mentioned above, I have to take off a star for the over-the-ear ear cups and pads: Yes, they fit well and comfortable and block out ambient noise when needed...BUT as they pretty much cover the entire ear, that means the cushions tend to get "sweaty" during prolonged periods of use. This, in turn, *can* quickly "age" the life of the cushions -- meaning, the top surface of the earpads can flake off and the stitching of the seams of the earpads (visible about midway inside the ear cushion) may come apart prematurely. This happened to my Q30s after about 3 years of higher-than-average usage...but fear not! Amazon has multiple pairs of replacement pads for the Q-series available for around $10-15 dollars, and the process of swapping them out is remarkably easy -- especially if you follow the numerous YouTube how-to videos on the subject. Overall a 4(-1/2)-Star product. Would buy again.

I’ve had these headphones for over two years and I absolutely love them! Great sound quality, fit well, don’t cause any pain around the ear and the noise canceling feature is great. I’ve never had a problem with the Bluetooth connection either. I always get these in black since I wear black mostly but I’m sure the other colors are good. For the price the quality is great; I mean it’s lasted me two years and only now are people struggling to hear me when I talk on the phone. I can still hear my music perfectly so I’m not sure what’s causing the issue with talking on the phone. Not a big deal though, for the price I don’t mind repurchasing.

i could rave about these for HOURS - i love these so much i bought a pair for me & my eldest daughter (19) noise cancellation - the nosie cancellation is perfect, you can tell the distinct difference between it being on & off, & even when off the sound is still sealed off to fit your ear & give you the best sound experience. ganingn & streaming - this headset is so well my daughter replaced her razer pink kitty headset with these for better gaming audio, better streaming audio, & for better music - perfect for streamers ! battery life - you could leave these on for a few hours using them or not, & they would still be full battery. we forget to charge them all the time whether we’re using them constantly or if we just put them off to the side for a few days to even a few weeks, they manage to hold an AMAZING charge. i don’t think i’ve ever had them actually die on me, most it’s gone to is medium battery !! theyere battery preserving ! music - gives out the best bass, no need to have them to loud in case it give you a headache, but is perfect for mellow music, loud music, & asmr. feels very immersive, & even does the effect of being able to only hear out of one headset & the other - super cool ! gaming - can hear smaller detailings (ex: knocking in a horror game) & really sucks you into the game truly, feels like it has its own surround sound comfort - if your sensitive to things squishing your head or easily prone to headaches, i would recommend only wearing these for shorter periods of times. my daughter wears it on her long walks (typically 1-4 hours a day) & comes back with headaches from having them on to long. as well as fitted glasses, be weary because they will squish your glasses in your head a bit, & cause headaches. besides that, they’re very comfortable on the ears with the padding, & the band tracts & retracts to fit your head shape & comfort ! look - sleek & beautiful, fits a good aesthetic if you want an alternative to the expensive sony or gaming headphones. would look cute with add on cat ears or others accessories as such, or stickers ! even blank they look very aesthetically pleasing overall, these headphones i love, & my daughter can attest that she never leaves the house without them, & her person. perfect for anyone who wants to concentrate, listen to music in a tasteful way, read, game, write, & feel concentrated & immersed into it, perfect for trips or walks - the possibilities are endless !!

I definitely recommend these headphones. I was concerned about the headphones being refurbished, but I need not have worried. They have held up wonderfully with heavy use at the gym (almost 4 months so far), and the sound quality is excellent considering the price. They also do a decent job of noise cancellation, although probably not as well as more expensive headphones. I'll see how well they hold up in the long run, but for the price, they can't be beat. They are also more comfortable than other headphones that I have used.

I waited a few months after getting these to write a review, as I wanted to really try them out. They are currently my favorite way to listen to music. They are very easy to connect to my phone or computer or tablet. The noise cancelling is very nice. If I am wearing them I can really tone out everything happening around me to concentrate. I have found however that I can not hear someone coming in the house, so have been startled several times. As far as music quality, I am not an expert. May not have the range some do, but to my non-expert ears, it sounds good. I get good base, and the music sounds better than any other speakers I own. Battery life is great. I charge them maybe once a month, but only use them an hour here or an hour there, not 8 hours a day every day. Charging is fast and easy. Especially at this price, this is a solid set of headphones. Certainly for casual music or video calls is perfectly fine. If you are a professional or music expert, you may feel these are not good enough, but for my use, around the house, on the plane, doing work when I need to cancel our distractions, these fit my needs perfectly.

I bought these as a temporary headset while saving up for a better model, these are middle of the road, with semi decent call quality, volume control is standard, comfort, they pinched a little, but then I have a unique head they are the foldable ones, they don't extend out like other SoundCore headsets, no noise cancelling till you get to higher model. They are pretty straightforward in usability. I have only seen them in black, so I can't comment on other colors outside of black.

Great product with amazing battery life, decent noise cancelling and good sound quality. The bass boost is a great addition. Also, really well built, there isn't a real difference between this and headphones from more expensive brands. Not exactly ideal for sports, but that's ot what this is made for. The only details that could be improved in a next version: no USB-C and the play/pauze button is very close to the sound. Luckily that button is marked! For anyone looking for noise cancelling headphones (for home or office use) this is a no-brainer basically. Buy it, you definitely will not regret it!

Used this mostly at home.Does the job when you need some personal space and time

Parfaite, très satisfaite

Anker has great products, I was thinking of buying stocks 🤔, I own prob. 4-5 products, they are quality...

I bought these for use as part of an assisted listening system at our church. The room is fairly live, and the HVAC system is quite loud, so lots of reverb and white noise most of the time. The quality of construction on these is actually quite impressive for the price. The headphones are very comfortable for the 2 or so hours they are used each week, and the controls are easy to use. The sound quality is actually very good (especially for our intended use). As a musician and sound tech, I value clarity and a balanced frequency response, and these perform very well. What surprised me the most was the quality of the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). They compare really well with my Bose Q35's, which are about 5x the price. The white noise of the HVAC and bad reverb of our room are completely cancelled out, which I didn't expect to happen with a sub-$100 headphone. If you are a snobby audiophile who demands the most accurate sound possible, you are likely going to spend 10x as much on headphones that can only give marginally better performance than these do. If you are someone who wants to enjoy good quality sound with excellent ANC at a really good price, I highly recommend these headphones.
