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.

had this for about two years. Its easy to use and the sound quality is great. I love the two modes, noise cancelling and one where you can hear what other people are saying. I would recommend this product!

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.

These are sooo perfect for tuning out loud noise in my house! I use them to study and when I want to daydream. The control buttons were a little confusing at first, but it's easy to handle once you get used to it. The clarity of sound is more effective than my soundcore earphones! Definitely worth the money!!!

Great for the price. When it comes to headphones I just need them to work, feel comfortable, and not be complicated. Complicated. Please check all the boxes. I listen to various genres of music and I have no complaints about the sound quality.

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!

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!
