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.

I've recently bought these because I needed a new pair of headphones since my last ones fell apart with little use. It's been about a week or so, and I'm loving these so far. They have comortable padding, and a soft cushion on the top. The size adjusters works great. It has the option to plug your headphones into your device (like my chromebook) and you can listen to pretty clear audio from there. The problem is that when you connect it via blutooth, it's sound quality gets REALLY bad. Plus the base button basically does nothing. I only use the bluetooth mode if I'm listening to music while working, and the music doesn't heave lyrics. Otherwise, don't use the blutooth connection. But it has a crazy long charge life and you barely need to charge it for long. Super comfy, and I enjoy it.

I have purchased several Amazon Renewed products and have never been disappointed in the quality or functionality of these items. The Anker SoundCore Q20 headphones are no exception. Comfortable fit, easy bluetooth pairing, adequate noise cancelling and quality sound all met or exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for all of the above the renewed Anker Q20s are an excellent choice. 5 out of 5 from the desert SW.

I love these headphones. I had a different version of the Soundcore foldable headphones that lasted me almost 3 years with perfect sound! They broke on the top, possibly from being in my work bag, and became unusable but I quickly ordered another Soundcore set. They are an amazing value for the sound quality, they are comfortable, and they easily connect to Bluetooth devices. The charge on the Q20 lasts me several days of use at work and the microphone is much improved as well from my previous set. The ear pads are comfortable, sometimes they can get slightly damp from sweat if using to workout but they clean easily with a damp cloth. This version is more durable feeling as well and I’m happy with my choice of the silver color and choosing this brand again.

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 !!

Okay. So I bought this headset as means to help me focus while studying for school. First, I bought a refurbished pair, not a new pair. But I promise, I couldn’t tell. When I opened the box, there was no sign that it was used. Everything in the box looked brand new. Now, the headset it self. The sound quality was absolutely perfect. Very, very close to $300 name brand set. If you’ve never owned one of those sets, you’d probably never know the difference. The noise cancellation feature is way better than you’d expect for a ~$40 headset. It works to block out the sound around you and it does a great job!! And that’s what I really needed to keep me focused. Now for comfort. This was the only part of the headset that let it down. But not much at all. The headset on top of the head is barely noticeable. There is plenty of room for adjustment even with my big head. The part that lets you down just a bit is the cuff itself. It seems a little firm for my liking. It is actually big enough to go around my ear. It doesn’t touch any part of the ear. The only time you notice the cuff being firm is after about the 3rd or 4th hour of wearing it. For the first hour or two it was fine. Even with that being said, I still have worn this for 5-6 hours and been able to study without any problems. Also, I just now had to charge the headset after over a week of daily use. I think I actually got 35+ hours of listening with the noise canceling on before I charged it. And it was still at around 10% when I decided to charge. With all that being said, if you are looking for a good noise canceling headset, a good over the ear headset, or just a good quality pair of headphones, these are definitely a better value than those fancy red/white $300-$400 ones!!

As someone constantly on the lookout for audio gear that doesn't break the bank but delivers on performance, I recently picked up the Soundcore Anker Life Q20 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones. My experience has been largely positive, offering a blend of affordability, quality, and functionality that's hard to come by in the saturated market of wireless headphones. Firstly, the price point is a standout feature. In an era where high-quality audio often comes with a steep price, the Life Q20 offers a reprieve for the budget-conscious listener. It's a relief to find a set that doesn't skimp on quality despite its affordability. For individuals like myself who use hearing aids, the compatibility and comfort of over-ear headphones are paramount. The Life Q20 excels in this area, providing a comfortable fit that works well alongside my hearing aids, enhancing my listening experience without causing discomfort or interference. Battery life is another area where these headphones shine. The long-lasting battery ensures that I can enjoy my music and podcasts for extended periods without worrying about frequent recharging. This feature is particularly beneficial for those long commutes or when traveling, providing a seamless and uninterrupted audio experience. Sound quality is impressive for the price range. The headphones deliver clear, rich audio that makes listening to a diverse range of content a pleasure. Whether it's the intricate details of a classical piece or the deep bass in electronic music, the Life Q20 handles it with ease. The noise-canceling functionality, while not on par with some of the more premium offerings in the market, is satisfactory for everyday use. It effectively reduces ambient noise, making it easier to immerse yourself in your audio. While it might not completely isolate you from louder environments, it does a commendable job for the price. In conclusion, the Soundcore Anker Life Q20 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones strike an impressive balance between affordability, comfort, and performance. They are a fantastic choice for anyone looking for wireless over-ear headphones that work well with hearing aids, have a long battery life, and deliver great sound quality with adequate noise cancellation. Whether you're an audiophile on a budget or someone in need of a reliable set for daily use, the Life Q20 is a purchase you're unlikely to regret.
