These headphones, soundcore Life Q30 by Anker, have good noise cancelling, great battery life, and very good sound. I work with a furnace fan nearby that is often running, and these headphones can be worn for hours without discomfort. I also think it has really good "booming" bass.

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2024
After a while of using these headphones, these are great for the price. They are almost good as the $100 Headphones in my opinion. The sound quality is good, it is a little deep but good bass. There is little leakage unless sound is 70%+. The bass is good, and I do enjoy it, but I also enjoy heavier bass, not too overwhelming though. But with modifications and changes from the app makes it a little better.
- SOUND QUALITY -
Audiophile perspective and my opinion - 3.3 Stars but 4.3 Stars with Equalizer App -
I am not too much of an audiophile such as spending thousands on audio equipment, but I do spend some hundreds. The audio quality on these headphones is good, although it's not much balanced, a bit deeper sound and more bass (Which I do like the more bass but prefer more lighter sound) although the bass is a bit much for some people, but you can decrease the bass through the app. It doesn't really get much loud which is somewhat good, but I prefer a higher volume when I'm listening to music, so I keep the volume above 60%. The sound quality is clear and rich, but it's not really crisp in my opinion only a little bit. The headphones are immersive and precise, spatial audio is good, not as good as Sony's though. Versatility is decent, you can listen to all kinds of songs and hear most of the sound and instruments, but it's better with the equalizer app. The sound quality on wired mode is a bit better as it's sounder and crisper to it, which is nice but not a lot of difference.
The app is amazing, I can choose what type of sound effect I want, and it sounds great. I like using Acoustics and Bass Up effects and I recommend if anyone wants to try that, Bass reducer is also good if you want to have more sound instead of bass. I can also create a custom profile or change ANC to my liking. The app makes it way better and becomes enjoyable.
Overall, the sound quality is good just need more lighter and more balance in my opinion and should be amazing.
- HYBRID ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION -
The Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is amazing. It blocks a lot of noise especially on the plane. I could barely hear people talking and I did hear some kids making a lot of noise, but that ANC did block a good portion of it. ANC is decent outside and going to public places. I use the ANC a lot especially during trips. The Headphones also have touch controls at the right side of the headphones where you can switch between ANC, Normal, or Transparency Modes which is amazing. Instead of pressing buttons, all I have to do is touch the right side of my headphones with my palm and it switches easily.
The transparency mode is decent in my opinion. You can hear some static a little in the background but works great. I can hear my surroundings and listen to music at the same time. However, I prefer taking off the headphones when it comes to talking with someone.
- ACCESSORIES -
These headphones also come with a fabric case and a small pouch. Which is cool since I do travel sometimes, and these are helpful to carry stuff. The small pouch comes with a USB-C charging cable and a 3.5mm jack cable which is great if I run out of battery and used wired mode. Wired mode has also slightly better sound quality.
- QUALITY -
The build quality is great. It has metal for the headband and feels very comfortable. It is a little bulky in my opinion although it's not really that big of a deal. Unlike some headphones, I do sweat with constant use, but these headphones didn't make me sweat for a long time. These feel great, high quality and I don't feel like these are going to fall off. It lasts long and is durable as long as you don't constantly drop them or anything. These are good for working out since these don't fall off easily and is comfortable.
- BATTERY LIFE -
The battery life is amazing! The battery lasted a day or two with constant use with ANC on and almost lasted a week with little to no use. I used these a lot and the battery lasts long so I can use these for hours, especially on a long flights or trips.
- NEGATIVES -
Now for the cons. There is a small issue when connecting to these headphones, sometimes there is a delay and sound doesn't work, so I do have to refresh an app or reconnect my headphones.
The built-in microphone on the headphones is not very good, it does work fine, however, the sound quality is not very clear, and the sound does become deep. Sometimes people can barely hear you during calls, but decent in using Google Assistant or Siri.
- CONCLUSION -
Overall, these headphones are excellent. Good sound quality, ANC, battery, etc. Amazing features on the app and great for the price. There are some cons, but mostly just small and not that big of a deal. These headphones are definitely worth using and I recommend it. But if you want better sound quality, I prefer other brands like Sony or Sennheiser.
