Soundcore by Anker Q30 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones (Renewed)

This is the third model of headphones I've gotten from the Soundcore brand (I also have the Liberty 4 NCs and Q20s), and they are fantastic. I've tried several other over-ear style headphones at the same price point, and the Q30s have always come out on top. My last go-to over-ear headphones were the Q20s, and these are a noticeable step up for really not much more money.The battery life is excellent. I feel like I never have to charge them. I always have the noise cancellation turned on, so I imagine if you were using them without that, they'd be the legit energizer bunny of the headphone world.These don't have the newest bluetooth tech, but they can be connected to different devices at the same time. If I'm listening to spotify at work on my computer, I can just move right over to my phone when I'm walking around. No unpairing and repairing. Obviously not a necessity, but I am realllly spoiled on that capability now.I got this pair (blue, renewed) to replace my old pair that I lost while traveling (pink, renewed). I had the pink pair for over a year and wore them pretty much every day, and they still looked and worked as good as new the whole time. The zipper case that comes with the headphones helps protect them in your backpack or bag, but a lot of the time I just folded them down and tossed them in my bag. Even with that added wear and tear, they held up like champs! No cracking or wearing out in the ear pads, either.The controls on the actual headphones are pretty straightforward. I don't typically use them, but they work as expected and aren't overly cumbersome to access.The noise cancellation on these is great – helped, I imagine, by the over-ear style that provides some mechanical noise isolation. They perform really well on planes (for the constant, droning background sounds) and actually perform surprisingly well for blocking out sound and chatter at places like the office or a coffee shop. The only other headphones I've tried that had better noise cancelling were $300+ Bose headphones.The long-wear comfort is another thing I love about these. They don't feel too tight or hot. I can comfortably wear them while wearing my glasses, too.Out the box, I think the sound quality is great – solid, rich bass and generally well rounded sound. I have used the equalizer app for some specific endeavors, so that's a nice option to have on deck.I have recommended this model to friends and I will keep doing so. Super pleased with the performance for a price that feels actually reasonable.

OMG, the sound quality is something I've never experienced. The price was too good to believe. But, after I did some research and I found out I was getting a brand that is highly recommended. I knew I had to have them. The appearance, comfort and size is just what I was looking for. The app allows you to adjust the sound, like you're in a recording studio. I'm still learning how to use them, but couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. You can listen to music for hours. Do your research and grab yourself a pair. Highly recommend

I love the sound quality first of all, and the other features as well. I have two pairs--one I bought at least 4 years ago, and another I bought maybe 6 months ago. The original pair still gives me hours of listening time per charge. In fact, they work for so long that I rarely plug them into the charger.

I compared these Soundcore Q30 with the Sennheiser HD350 which is in the same price range; the Sennheiser wins. My reference standards are my Sony WH-1000mx3, Sony MDR-6v and AudioTechnica MDX-50; these are pro audio headsets in a much higher price category, and the SoundcoreQ30 and SennheiserHD350 models here are not expected to have that high level of audio quality.The Q30 had superior Comfort level and “Stage” presence. (Phone or Internet connections or ANC noise canceling are not important to me). The Q30 had inferior sound CLARITY at low (bass) and very high (treble) frequencies compared to the Sennheiser HD350.. All my comments are with Noise Canceling OFF; I usually prefer the sound quality without ANC activated.The Soundcore Q30 was very boomy and muddy on low frequency bass which over-powered the mid and higher frequencies (good for Rock and HipHop though); the Soundcore App could not moderate this sufficiently for me. The high frequencies had very slight sibilance and slight lack of clarity. The Bluetooth implementation on the SoundcoreQ30 was a bit more fussy, but good overall. The “stage” and “presence” of the Q30 was very good. The Soundcore App was user-friendly, but lowering the Bass response on the App did not sufficiently moderate the Boomy Bass for my tastes.I listen (with headphones) to a LOT of music daily: jazz, blues, classical, country, African, Latin, Cuban, etc. I look for CLARITY, and good FLAT FREQUENCY response (especially bass and high treble). Noise Canceling is not important to me, and I usually disable ANC for better sound. Good EQ via App is a plus. I often use EQUALIZER on product Apps to adjust for the kind of music I listen to at any given time,So audiophiles and Classical music fans will probably not like the Q30. However, FOR THE PRICE THE Q30 IS AN EXCELLENT VALLUE; if Rock or HipHop genres (and maybe Country?) are your listening preferences you might really like the Q30. I give the Q30 3-Stars for audio quality, but 4+-Stars for Value. (I am keeping the Sennheiser HD350 and Returning the Soundcore Q30).

Pros:1. Pretty good sound cancellation for the price. When surrounded by loud talkers, you can still hear them, but over the sound of gentle music, it just sounds like muffled voices. It works extremely well in airplane rides, where it shuts out a lot of the steady engine noise.2. Sound quality is pretty good. Especially for the price.3. Extra features in the app are nice (equalization profile, noise cancellation profile)4. Has good battery life. I haven't timed it, but I would say that it easily does 40+ hours per charge.Cons.1. Doesn't fold up quite as much as some other models, so it takes more room to carry.2. Although the cups fit comfortably AROUND the ear, the back of the headphones (the felt) pushes against the ear. This becomes quite uncomfortable after multiple hours of wearing the headphones.3. Sound is good, HOWEVER, it does tend to be just a little base heavy. (I use them to listen to classical music, so it may not bother you as much)- Final verdict: Would buy again, my biggest gripe is I wish my ear did not hit the back of the headphones.

Very satisfied with this piece. I thpught of sony, but those were too expensive, even older models. So i made a fair ammount of research untill i figured this device out. And they are great. They look and fell premium. Compact(foldable), light, sound is great. Noice cancelation is good, but i suspect could be better. There is a touch gesture to change modes. Battary is greate. Device is speaking to you to inform of low battery. As i said, the price is fair , even too low for this kind of quality. Great job, Anker, will consider to buy more from this brand

Let’s see after three weeks. They fell apart, totally fell apart garbage you got one star to push it through and actuality. You have zero the same as your product.

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!

O Anker Life Q30 é um excelente fone de ouvido com cancelamento de ruído ativo que oferece uma ótima qualidade de som e um bom isolamento de ruído, apesar de ainda permitir a entrada de algum ruído externo. Além disso, a duração da bateria é excepcional e a distância do Bluetooth é excelente, permitindo que você se mova livremente enquanto ouve suas músicas favoritas.Embora alguns usuários tenham relatado que o tempo de carregamento pode ser um pouco longo, isso é compensado pela longa duração da bateria. Além disso, embora a conexão Bluetooth possa ser afetada por interferências ou obstáculos, isso é comum em todos os dispositivos Bluetooth e não é uma limitação exclusiva do Anker Life Q30.No geral, o Anker Life Q30 é uma ótima escolha para quem procura um fone de ouvido com cancelamento de ruído ativo confiável, com ótima qualidade de som e durabilidade da bateria, além de uma boa distância de Bluetooth. É uma excelente opção para quem deseja ouvir música em ambientes ruidosos, se concentrar no trabalho ou simplesmente desfrutar de um som de qualidade enquanto se move livremente.Obs.: Comprei em Fevereiro e recentemente a capa das almofadas abriram (mantenho todos os cuidados recomendados), fiquei decepcionada com o acontecido, pois, acredito que não seja possível substituir. Não compraria de novo devido apenas por esse problema.

Son un muy buen producto, la calidad de audio es casi perfecta si se ecualiza de la mejor manera, en pocas palabras... ME ENCANTARON!!! Muy recomendables

Os fones são excelentes, confortáveis, som muuuuito bom que ainda melhora com as configurações no app específico da Anker. Fácil conexão e ajustes, não decepciona. Além disso, a bateria dura demais, nunca fiquei sem bateria kkkkkkk.A qualidade do material também achei excelente. Fácil de transportar, pois ele dobra e tem boa flexibilidade.A parte auricular é macia e extremamente confortável. São lindos e confortáveis.Só tirei uma estrelinha do isolamento porque apesar de isolar boa parte dos ruídos, consideravelmente, ainda sim não é um mega isolamento acústico. Mas não levem isso como demérito. Ele ajuda muito quando você quer se concentrar, reduz acima da média os ruídos e quando o som está ligado fica beirando a perfeição. Eu levaria novamente sem piscar os olhos.Excelente custo benefício! ( sou cri cri, mas interpretem como um verdadeiro elogio)

Possui boa reprodutibilidade sonora, porém, o material de que é feito as almofadas para os ouvidos não é respirável causando transpiração pelo uso prolongado.

Muito bom. Bateria durável
