Top reviews
Top reviews from United Kingdom
There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Note my experience will differ from yours, hopefully it won’t and you will be extremely satisfied.
Also these are that good my household of four now have one each. All of which who love them, if they made them for the dog I would have gotten him some just for the anc alone, he must be sick of hearing fetch.
Cons
There is only one con for me, they removed the option of using ANC when wired, this Soundcore have removed from product description after realising you simply can’t mislead customers, but review sites still show this which they haven’t contacted reviewers to remove and it is littered all over their forums with backlash. Anker haven’t responded and haven’t reversed their decision. Which is ridiculous imo and bad customer service. Makes them untrustworthy imo.
Pro’s
Accessories: These come with a hard carry case which also includes a usb type c charging cable and a 3.5mm headphone jack so you can still use your headset wired if your battery runs out, iOS users who have a lightning port can buy a adapter that converts your lightning port to use a 3.5mm jack.
Comfort: The soundcore q20s where excellent for comfort and these are no exception they just took it that bit further and after a few hours of listening you get the odd oh I need to move these slightly but that’s it, the rest of the time it’s extremely comfortable.
ANC: It works and delivers an exceptional experience, everything I wanted ANC deliver wirelessly works, transparency mode also gives you the advantage of hearing the world around you and speak to others whilst having a conversation with someone else around you. The full on ANC mode is exceptional it blocked for me literally everything around me.
Sound Quality: Another reason to keep these it just delivers massive audio quality where it is imo for a headset I only paid £55.99 for packs a punch and is crystal clear. People keep saying they aren’t Bose headsets or Sonys. I’ve never owned either but I have listened to them in stores and they are exceptional quality, but being crucially honest the price difference and quality out of these does scream Buy the Q30s why wouldn’t you!
App: that excellent sound quality just goes one step further, the amount of presets you can change in the app is extremely welcome, but you can also change to a custom equaliser and you can edit away to your hearts content and find the perfects mids, bass etc to what you want.
NFC: Easy pairing for Android users with NFC. I’m a iOS user primarily so this I never tried, but it’s a handy feature to have, simply use nfc to tap on the headset and you should be able to pair the device rather quickly.
Ports and buttons: USB type C charging, which when your battery is getting low you can get a substantial amount of life back into these from so little time. USB Type C port is always welcome moving forward as we try to move away from Micro usb.
The buttons are the device has been criticised by some reviewers online as not being ideal, but I would contest this and say I prefer the click of a button opposed to gestures and the placements are perfectly fine. There is also a hidden sort of gesture button hidden on the right ear cuff so you can cycle through noise cancelling modes, but at the same time this can be a downside if your stretching a knock the gesture/hidden button it can be annoying.
I paid £55.99 which is a really good steal, they do go and retail now for around the £79.99 and even then it’s around the right price and is worth the money. Hence the reason for 5* Without the price point and knowing the distrust on the forums I would have to give 4*
Do think Anker need to respond to removing features from the headset that were their at launch and not use the whole “it improves sound quality” and review sites still advertise these features so damage control isn’t their either. Simply giving customers options to use which firmware they would prefer with wired and or wireless only and then being able to judge the sound quality accordingly should be a fairer outcome.
Sound Quality: The audio quality is fantastic, with a rich, immersive sound that enhances both music and podcasts. The bass is deep, the mids are clear, and the highs are crisp, providing a well-balanced listening experience.
Comfort: The headphones are incredibly comfortable to wear, even for extended periods. The ear cups are well-padded and fit snugly without causing any discomfort. I can easily wear them for hours without feeling any fatigue.
Bluetooth Connectivity: The Bluetooth connectivity is seamless. Pairing with my devices was quick and effortless, and I haven't experienced any dropouts or connectivity issues. The range is also impressive, allowing me to move around freely without losing connection.
Overall Quality: The build quality is top-notch. These headphones feel sturdy and well-made, with a sleek and modern design. They also come with a great carrying case, making them easy to transport and store.
Packaging: The packaging was excellent. The headphones arrived in a well-protected box, ensuring they were in perfect condition upon arrival. A charging cable and carry case is included.
Overall, the Anker Q30 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones are a fantastic investment. Their superior sound quality, comfort, and reliable Bluetooth connectivity make them a standout choice. Highly recommended!
I use mainly for noise cancellation and they are amazing for that, the option to change between types just by pressing a button on the headphones is super helpful!
Tapping the side for transparency is a great feature
The app is also great that comes with it to change the kind of frequency that's blocked, it's a very subtle change but useful, being autistic they've helped me in many situations where I've needed background noise blocking but i can still have conversations with no issues
Using them for music, the sound quality is amazing, np connectivity issues at all, doesn't disconnect when using them
Comfy over the ear, I've had them on for hours at a time with no issues and I'm a glasses wearer so headphones are normally an issue but the soft cups don't cause any digging in or issues at all, forget I'm wearing them sometimes
The hard case and cables are super helpful when I want to take them off but don't want to damage them I pop them in their case which is very sturdy and they fold away easily
For the price they are amazing headphones and even just for music or the noise cancelling they have they are incredible, even my partner wants his own pair!

Basic packaging. When you open the box, you are immediately presented with the case and manual.
[inside content]
Comes with a nice round-shaped case. The headphones and cables are inside of the case. They give you a pouch for putting in the charging and aux cable. I would have preferred if there was a dedicated compartment for putting in the cables. Also, it's a bit awkward to put the headphones into the case, because you have to have the right earphone on the left side and the left earphone on the right side while the left earphone is folded, and both earphones have to be faced side down. You'll just have to memorize the orientation when putting them inside the case every time.
[material/build]
Headphones is mostly plastic material. Don't expect too much from sub-100 dollar headphones. The size adjustment is metallic. I think they are very comfortable to wear. I've heard about issues on build quality where the plastic hinges near the size adjustments would crack. But I've only had mine for less than two months so I can't comment on that yet.
[buttons/controls]
On/off, volume, and play/pause buttons are physical buttons. But I think ANC mode switching is touch control.
[wired mode]
As for wired/aux mode, I'm unsure if EQ and ANC will work with wired mode since I haven't tested it, so I can't comment on it. As far as I'm concerned, I will never be using these headphones in wired mode unless I absolutely have to.
[Soundcore app and custom EQ]
The Soundcore app makes it super easy to adjust EQ. EQ adjusting is responsive and doesn't lag for a long time like some other apps. Your EQ is saved in your headphones (tested with two separate devices; these headphones can pair with older Android from 2016). But you can also make a Soundcore account to save your EQ settings online. One downside of the app is that you can't adjust EQ while your headphones aren't connected, nor can you see your EQ settings. This becomes a nuisance for when you want to take a screenshot of your EQ settings to share with people who have the same headphones. There are also no horizontal line markings in the EQ setting, not even for 0 dB.
Sound quality massively improves with EQ adjustment (I will update review later with a picture of the EQ, if possible). In the default setting, it doesn't sound so good. There are also EQ presets for you to try, but I prefer to use custom EQ. After adjusting EQ, I think the sound quality is great and will probably beat many popular BT headphones that cost more than this (I got it on sale for 74.99 CAD not including tax).
The app also has a feature for playing various ambient sounds to potentially help you relax or sleep, or just set a certain mood for whatever takes your fancy. It's similar to the old iOS apps from the early 2010s that does the same sort of thing.
[battery life]
Battery life seems pretty good. But I tend to not use them for too long in one session.
[sound issue (fixed)]
I did encounter an issue where there would be a crackle sound (not too serious) in the left ear cup when I shake my head during ANC mode. It sounds like it's coming from the plastic, but I only hear it when ANC is on. This problem is fixed when I sent it back to Amazon and bought another one. The first one I bought was 89.99 CAD. When it went on sale for 74.99 CAD about 2-3 weeks later, I figured I'd just return my old pair, buy a new pair, and see if the problem would go away.
[ANC (active noise cancellation)]
ANC is good enough for me. I don't have a second pair of BT headphones to compare ANC performance to.
With ANC turned off, the ambient sound becomes a bit annoying like a hollowed out sound. I always have the ANC on for that reason. I might have returned these headphones if I intended to use the headphones often with ANC off.
[conclusion]
Overall I'm very satisfied with these headphones. They sound great for music and movies. I would recommend them, as long as you plan on using custom EQ and ANC.

Em questão da bateria, acho que, nesses 5 meses, se carreguei ele mais de 10 vezes seria muito. A bateria é muito boa, ainda mais pq só uso com o cancelamento de ruído ligado.
Em questão de som não posso opinar muito pois não tenho muitas experiências boas, porém, diria que o áudio é muito bom, não excelente, nem perfeito, mas muito bom (ainda mais levando em conta que é 400 reais).
O fone é confortável, porém, com o tempo deixa a orelha “abafada”, mas justificável pois é de couro. Uso óculos, dificilmente o fone incomoda.
É o melhor fone para se comprar por esse preço.
