Big Sound, Real Noise Cancellation, Small Price Tag: The Budget Headphones That Actually Show Up
The Soundcore Anker Life Q20 headphones are the overachievers of the budget headphone world. They show up, cancel the noise, last forever on a single charge, and do not complain about it. The active noise cancellation actually works, which feels mildly shocking at this price point. Airplane hum, coffee shop chaos, that one coworker who types like they are angry at the keyboard, all toned down. The sound is warm and bassy, so the music feels full and energetic rather than delicate and analytical. These are not “sit in a leather chair and study the violin section” headphones. These are “block out the world and get things done” headphones. Battery life is ridiculous. You will forget where the charger is. Comfort is solid, build quality is perfectly respectable, and overall, they punch way above their weight. If you want luxury, spend luxury money. If you want dependable, affordable, and surprisingly impressive, these are a very smart buy.

Wow.
I got these just to watch TV with when the house is quiet and WOW, I love these things. I didn't think I'd be a fan of these because they were over-the-ear headphones, and I'm more of a fan of the in-ear, sport style headphones (big fan of the PowerBeats 2), but I've loved these things since I got them. The in-ear style tends to hurt your ears if you fall asleep in them too many times, and these things are comfortable as HAIL. I've fallen asleep in these numerous times countless times over the years (had them since November 2024), and the majority of the time, I wake up to them still on my head, and if they're not, I'm not worried about crushing them because they've been extremely durable. Now, I don't abuse them, but, being relatively inexpensive, I don't take as good of care of them as I do some of my more expensive sets of headphones and they've held up phenomenally. They've performed so well for me and the price point is so great that I'm going to purchase 1-2 more pairs of these, just in case they disappear or get discontinued. Battery life has been great. Really no complaints. I can go days in-between charges, just casually watching television and listening to music. Love the fact that it has USB-C charging. Sound quality is relatively good for the price point. It's not going to knock your socks off and if you're an audiophile, you'll probably be displeased, but, I think for like 85% of people, these will get the job done. Kind of wish I could turn the volume up a little more, but, I think it also depends on the audio source. These can get pretty loud, but, I really like to blast my music and I wish I could get like 25% more volume out of these headphones. It's also missing that good, solid bass thump, but I think that's just the nature of over-the-ear headphones and I just may be more used to in-ear headphones and home stereo systems that have a bass driver or subwoofer, respectively. Overall, these are really good headphones for the casual user and, for the money, I'd buy these again several times over. Anker continues to impress me and has become one of my absolute favorite brands for consumer electronic-related items over the years.

No noise cancelling, instead this is more like pump up the volume
Normally, Anker products are really good, but these are dissapointing. If these where just headphones, they would be fine, they are comfortable, sound good (not audiophile good, but good enough), look kinda good (if a tad cluncky). But these are supposed to be noise cancelling headphones. And they do not cancel noise at all. The only discernible effect when you enable noise cancelling is that the headphones pump up the volume of what you are listening, but, once you compensate for that, the external sound dampening you get is the same that you would get by just the cushions of the headphones. Mind you, I tested with a punny Nokia E71 playing TMBG's Call_connected_through_the_NSA.mp3 not some hollywood explosion fest. I do not want "world around dissapears" kinds of Noise Cancelling, but if these can't cancel a punny E71... Well, disappointed/dissapointing Edit #1: The reason I hold Anker in high regard, I because of their customer service, and this is no exception. I posted the review in about July 18, 2020, and today July 21, 2020 they contacted me. At least we know they still have top notch customer support, even during a pandemic. Nonetheless, their sugestions were not very usefull: «- Make sure the NC button is turned on(the NC indicator would turn green) when you want them to cancel noise outside.» Yes, I know very well how to press the button to get the green light, and also, a very nice lady voice says "Noice Cancelling", so yes, I was 110% (one hundred and ten percent) sure noice cancelling was active. «- Try the headphones in different noisy places with NC on and off and see any difference.» Well, we are under lockdown. When I am able to move out, I have more important thing to do than test noise cancelling headphones. Nonetheless, I'll try to do it and report back to Anker Customer Support, and to you guys. I'll also try to get the 10 min silent MP3s from Samir Mezrahito really test this out. Edit #2: I was "finally" able to actuate on Anker product support's sugestion and "- Try the headphones in different noisy places with NC on and off and see any difference.". For testing purposes I used the headphones in BlueThooth mode (to eliminate any electrical intereference noise). And used the song "A a a a a a a a a Very good song" by artist Samir Mezrahi, which, as you perhaps know, consists of almost 10 min of silence. I tested in various scenarios: 1.) In my car, windows down. 2.) In my car windows up. 3.) Reving up my car to 2500rpm (in the parking lot). 4.) In a bus stop (with buses comming in and out). 5.) In the electric stairs of a ghostly empty shopping mall. 6.) In a queue to pay for medicines (with ambient music and people talking at moderate volume). 7.) Near the air extractor of my home kitchen. My results: 1.) If wind blows in the headphones you actually get MUCH MORE noise with NC on than with NC off, so forget using the noise cancelling in a ferry boat, or in a bus with no Air conditioning, or in your car with windows/roof open, or in your bike. 2.) The NC was able to diminish humming noises (like the engine), but not clacking noises, or noises derived from potholes and such. 3.) The NC was very effective at mitiganting the reeving. 4.) The engine noise from the buses was mitigated, but not the clacking or the chatter from the people waiting. 5.) Again, the humm of the motor of the staris was mitigated, but not the clacking noises. 6.) In the queue, the souund of the air conditioner or the store was somewhat mitigated by the NC, but not the ambient music or the chatter, and that actually ended up being worse, because it made more noticeable the music and chatter. 7.) The NC was decent with the air extractor of my kitchen. But, in scenarios 5, 6 & 7, I noticed that the NC tends to cancel the low frequencies, but the high ones are not mitigated at all (currently at my 47yo, i can hear up to 15Khz, so for younger peiople is probably worse), so, actually enabling NC will make any high pitch noice more noticeable (i.e. the frequency responce of the NC is not flat). Finally, if one bought these headphones with NC because the noise made by rain, the AC fan or compressor, or some other noise like that was disturbing, it it will diminish it a little (but not much), but if one bought noise cancelling headphones because one wanted to evade the sound of coworkers talking, or kids playing in the garden or your SO watching TV in the other room, these headphones will do nothing more than what headphones with no NC (and therefore less expensive) would have. Edit #3 (and Final): Anker contacted me, and offered two options, return the item (as a very special consideration, since I am a few MONTHS completely outside of the return window), or get a refund for 20% of the cost, to get a more suitable Item. Since I order to the USoA and then have my Items forwarded to Venezuela, it is a hassle to return Items, so I opted for the refund, and it went smoothly. That is the good thing of going with Anker. The litmus test of a good company comes when things go wrong, and Anker has a stellar reputation for making things right. Upgraded the review from one star to 4, but not on the account of the product itself, but rahter, due to the excellent customer service.

highly recommended
These headphones are a game changer I didn't even know what noise canceling really was until I had these. They feel really durable and not cheap they are very comfortable the sound quality is amazing and the noise cancelation is perfect. I've never had a problem with battery life and they feel very tough and sturdy I highly recommend these if you want a entry level but very good pair of noise canceling headphones. It also works multiple on devices at the same time which I've never been able to get working properly on other devices. but these somehow manage to do it.

Ich habe die Soundcore Q20 Kopfhörer jetzt seit ca. einer Woche. Dabei sind mir folgende Vorteile aufgefallen, auf welche ich nun näher eingehen möchte: • Akkulaufzeit • Klangqualität • Komfort • Aussehen • Stabilität/Verarbeitungsqualität • Geräuschunterdrückung AKKULAUFZEIT: Ich habe die Kopfhörer täglich von einer Stunde bis zu 3-4 Stunden am Stück verwendet und sie geben einfach nicht nach. Der Akku ist noch am gleichen Stand wie beim Ersten Tag. Es ist erwähnenswert, dass der Akku bei eingeschalteter Geräuschunterdrückung viel schneller leer wird, da sie tatsächlich AKTIVE Geräuschunterdrückung haben und mehr Energie verbrauchen (logisch). Ich muss Anker dafür loben, dass sie diese Kopfhörer als 40 Stunden haltbar vermarkten, da diese Laufzeit genauer ist, wenn die Geräuschunterdrückung EINgeschaltet ist. Ohne Geräuschunterdrückung können sie problemlos mehr als 60 Stunden halten. Es ist immer toll, wenn eine Firma etwas unterbewirbt und mehr liefert. KLANGQUALITÄT: Diese Kopfhörer klingen viel besser, als sie es in dieser Preisklasse sollten. Ich würde mich nicht als Audiophilen bezeichnen, aber ich habe Erfahrung mit den Bose SoundLink Over-Ear oder den Apple Airpods Pro. Abgesehen davon, dass sie etwas mehr Bass haben, als ich mir wünschen würde, erledigen diese Kopfhörer einen ausgezeichneten Job dabei, Bässe, Mitten und Höhen in so ziemlich allem hervorzubringen. Nichts klingt ertränkt oder überbelichtet. Ich habe diese Kopfhörer hauptsächlich für Multimedia-Konsum (Filme, Videospiele, Musik usw.) gekauft. Sie haben genau die richtige Menge Punch im Tieftonbereich, um Dinge wie Explosionen oder basslastige Soundeffekte wirklich zum Leuchten zu bringen. In diesem Fall macht der stärkere Tiefton Sinn. Stimmen klingen kristallklar, da die Mitten nicht von den Tiefen oder Höhen erstickt werden, wie bei einigen teureren Kopfhörern… Die Höhen sind meiner Meinung nach das Highlight dieser Kopfhörer. Viele Budget-Kopfhörer neigen dazu, sehr "blechern" zu klingen, mit scharfen, harten Höhen, um den übermäßig gesättigten Bass auszugleichen, aber diese schaffen es gut, sowohl die Mitten als auch die Höhen ausreichend prominent zu halten (trotz des kräftigeren Basses). KOMFORT: Ich habe im Laufe der Jahre viele Over-Ear- und On-Ear-Kopfhörer besessen und verwendet, und ich kann hier nicht drumherumreden: Diese sind die bequemsten Kopfhörer, die ich je benutzt habe. Ich hatte erwartet, dass ich sie "einspielen" muss, basierend auf dem, was einige andere Bewertungen sagten, aber sobald ich diese aufgesetzt habe, war ich angenehm überrascht, wie weich und leicht sie sich anfühlen (ohne billig oder wackelig zu wirken). Und ich trage eine Brille! AUSSEHEN: Es gibt nicht viel zu sagen über das Aussehen dieser Kopfhörer. Ich würde nicht sagen, dass Sie damit auf der Straße Aufmerksamkeit erregen werden, aber für den Preis, den sie kosten... Ich sage nur, sie hätten viel schlimmer aussehen können. Ich habe Kopfhörer gesehen, die dreimal so teuer sind und die komplett unansehnlich sind. Die Q20 sehen sauber und minimalistisch aus, ohne ihren niedrigen Preis preiszugeben. STABILITÄT/VERARBEITUNGSQUALITÄT: Obwohl ich meine Geräte nicht grob behandle (egal wie wenig sie kosten mögen), muss ich sagen, dass diese überhaupt nicht schwach wirken. Ich habe einen milden Belastungstest gemacht, indem ich beide Ohrmuscheln so weit auseinander gezogen habe, wie ich mich wohl fühlte, und konnte etwa 10 Zoll Breite erreichen. Ich glaube nicht, dass jemand einen Kopf hat, der so breit ist, aber wenn Sie das tun, werden diese definitiv passen. Die Verarbeitungsqualität fühlt sich großartig an, und ich habe das Gefühl, dass diese definitiv eine Weile halten werden (und ich werde diese Bewertung aktualisieren, wenn sich das ändert, haha). GERÄUSCHUNTERDRÜCKUNG: Diese Kopfhörer haben tatsächlich eine aktive Geräuschunterdrückung, ABER... ich benutze sie buchstäblich fast NIE. Hier ist der Grund: Sie brauchen es nicht. Die Kopfhörer sind so konstruiert, dass sie auch ohne aktive Geräuschunterdrückung eine Menge Umgebungsgeräusche ausblenden. Leider gibt es einen signifikanten Lautstärkeabfall, wenn die Geräuschunterdrückung aktiviert ist. Der Bass nimmt ebenfalls ab, was ihn gleichmäßiger mit den Mitten und Höhen macht (was für einige von Vorteil sein könnte). Fazit: Es gibt eigentlich nur einen "Nachteil", den ich nicht erwähnen wollte, und das ist die Tragetasche, die mit den Q20 geliefert wird. Es ist eigentlich nichts daran auszusetzen, aber ich wollte nur erwähnen, dass sie früher mit einem harten Tragekoffer geliefert wurden (laut einigen älteren YouTube-Bewertungen), und ich bin ein wenig verärgert, dass wir neuere Käufer den nicht bekommen. Alles in allem, für die 30 Euro im Angebot, die ich für diese Kopfhörer bezahlt habe, fällt mir kein Grund ein, sie nicht uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen. Sogar für den Normalpreis von 60 Euro, ist der Preis komplett gerechtfertigt. Sie klingen großartig, die Akkulaufzeit ist unglaublich lang, sie sehen ordentlich aus, sind solide verarbeitet und sie haben sogar eine aktive Geräuschunterdrückung für Situationen, die nach etwas mehr Stille verlangen. Also wie gesagt, absolut Top

Top! Alleen jammer dat het geen USB C aansluiting heeft. Accu gaat echt heel lang mee en de noise cancelling werkt top

I have been using it for a week now. I simply put it on, play my podcast and walk. Noise cancellation is excellent, and people can hear me clear when I speak on the phone outdoors. I noticed one issue (which probably not unique to Anker Soundcore Life Q20) though. The wind filters in through the microphones, but I never had to turn the volume up. In general I'm super happy with my purchase considering the low price.

Après avoir eu différents casques (Taotronics 90 et Mpow H21) dans cette tranche de prix je n’ai gardé que celui-ci. Je peux affirmer que le soundcore Q20 life est le plus équilibré de tous. Tout d’abord la réduction de bruit est la plus efficace comparé aux 2 autres et de loin! Le H21 avait le pire ANC. La qualité de son est excellente pour les 3 (sous certaines conditions concernant le H21) Le Taotronics 90 un poil plus charnus au niveau des voix, le Soundcore q20 un poil plus spatial et le Mpow H21 équivalent au Taotronics 90 À condition de désactiver la réduction de bruit !! Lorsqu’on active l’ANC le son devient tout de suite plus petit! vraiment dommage..... En revanche le micro du Mpow H21 s’en sort un peux mieux que les 2 autres. Pour conclure le soundcore Q20 est vraiment le meilleur rapport qualité prix. D’abord parce que la qualité du son est top et digne d’un bon casque et parce que l’ANC est vraiment bon. Bien meilleur de ce qu’on peut trouver dans cette fourchette de prix. Ma femme possède également un Bose QC35II et le Soundcore Q20 n’a pas à rougir en terme de ANC et de qualité de son. EXCELLENT 👌🏻

*Update: customer service experience added to end of review* These headphones sit at the top end of the budget price range and they are better quality than most at this budget level. The build quality is good, the connectivity is simple (I have connected them to an iPad and a MacBook) and the sound quality is decent. The battery lasts a long time between charges (the spoken voice will give you an indication when you connect) with the claimed 60 hours seems plausible to me although it's probably less with noise cancelling on. The noise cancelling is effective and I have used these headphones in a busy office to good effect. Noise cancelling is on by default when you connect which at first I didn't like (I prefer it to be off until I specifically want to use it) but this bothers me much less these days and I tend to just keep it on. The headphones are also pretty comfortable and easy to collapse for transportation. Overall it's hard to fault these headphones at the price and if you can grab them at around the £40 price point they are a steal. *Update: After about 14 months the part of the band that attached to the left earpiece snapped as I was taking the headphones off. I was expecting to have to buy some new headphones from another brand but before I did I thought I'd reach out to Anker Customer Support to see if they might help and they replied to my e-mail within half-an-hour offering to send me a replacement. First class customer support I wasn't expecting.
