soundcore by Anker Q30 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones with Multiple Modes, Hi-Res Sound, Custom EQ via App, 50H Playtime, Comfortable Fit Bluetooth Headphones Multipoint Connection (White)

One thing I’ve noticed (and I think this is pretty common with noise-cancelling headphones in general), there’s a faint background hiss or ventilation-type noise when using ANC in a really quiet environment. Not a dealbreaker, but something to be aware of if you're expecting total silence. Furthermore, it's weird that we have a NC button on the left that basically does the same thing as the touch control on the right, both just switch between noise-cancellation, normal and transparency mode. Why have both for the same thing? It also has a 3.5mm headphone jack, though many newer phones don’t support it anymore for years now, so not everybody can benefit from it like me.Some reviews I saw said the build feels cheap, but honestly, I disagree. I think people might be comparing it to way more expensive brands or have higher expectations that what the product can promise. On its own terms, the Q30 feels solid and comfortable. The ear cups are soft and fit well, and I can wear them for hours without discomfort.The sound is great, especially if you enjoy a bit of extra bass, which is awesome for music with deep low-end. As for the noise cancellation, I personally just stick with transport mode most of the time, it somehow feels more effective or balanced than the others, at least to my ears. The others work too, but there’s just something about transport mode that feels better.Im overall very satisfied with it, would definitely recommend it for those who don't want to spend hundreds.

These headphones are great! They look nice and feel sturdy, but they’re still lightweight enough that I can wear them for hours without my ears hurting. Connecting with Bluetooth was super easy, and the buttons are simple to figure out (volume control etc). The sound is clear at any volume, and the noise cancelling was a lifesaver on my flight... it blocked out almost all the engine noise so I could just relax and enjoy music and films. Totally worth it!

I've previously used Bose Quiet Comfort headphones which cost between £279 to £300+ depending when or where you got them and which model.I needed a 'spare' pair as I'm retired with not great health and live with extremely antisocial neighbours who play loud music.Plus others have constantly barking dogs,crying babies,children shouting etc etcI've found noise cancelling headphones have changed my life,reduced my blood pressure and stress levels.I saw some reviews of Anka Soundcore and thought lets see if I can save some of my pension by buying these.Its taken shorter time than I expected to learn all the functions from the usual basic instructions.Pairing the bluetooth is simple.If you're used to Bose they have a dialogue telling you what device you're pairing with.Anka you get a tone and then the connection which is fast.I also discovered they have very good latency.Whereas my older Bose connected on the same bluetooth device via my digital optical out has poorer latency and the sound doesn't match the visual as well so people speaking look out of synch.Top marks to Anka Soundcore !In terms of sound quality they're too bassy for me as others have said.I've yet to adjust that via the downloaded app.The overall sound isn't as finetuned as my Bose but very respectable for this price.And the 3 noise cancelling modes work well.Though they do change if you move your hand over the right phone without thinking ! But you get a voice prompt to say 'Transparency' or other mode you just accidentally triggered.The phones sit comfortably for me and comparevery well with Bose ones.The pads are soft and give full ear coverage.The bluetooth range is very good and doesn't break up in areas of my flat where the Bose drop in and out.I can stand on my back balcony listening to music or take out rubbish/recycling to my front garden no problem.Overall I'd say if you're not an audio/hifi nerd these are a great buy for 1st timers to bluetooth/noisecancelling at a very reasonable price.I haven't tried the NFC function yet so can't report back on that.These also come with an audio cable.Charging is fast and battery life very good indeed.

First near HiFi wireless Headphones for me, they do sound good powered from my phone via Bluetooth. The noise cancelling work wells, some say you can get better. I wore these on the Piccadilly underground in London just to protect my ears from the squeeling noise, it worked well even without music or a podcast playing. The handy app on the phone is good also. BTRange is good battery life very good.Now the downside, as most new electronic gadgets have small buttons to switch on/off, find press and hold ........ Hold keep holding off or on, why can't we have a switch instead of a press and hold button?I find the ear muffs a bit too small.The head band does flop about a bit and can move.Not too heavyI don't like the button press sounds, bit annoying.Music is very good sound quality, I like that, bass maybe not too deep, I can hear the depth of the music, like I said near very good hifi sound.Buy them if you walk around in public and enjoy your music to a high quality with good noise cancelling. The best part is the price really good value. Now who wants mega expensive headphones whilst out and about in dodgy areas that they could be easily snatched and nicked?Phone calls are very good, no one has complained yet, so good for chatting.Buy them, look out for Amazon special offers, or maybe buy two.ThenSave your money on these to buy some really expensive wired hifi ones for late night listening at home through a decent amp, forget MP3, listen to CD or hi res streamed music. These work really well you won't be disappointed.
