Product Information

Build Quality. These seem solidly made, even though they're quite flexible plastic and I think they'll last me for some time. Press and hold the "Power On" button for 5s to enter into pairing mode directly after the headphones are turned off.

Even after trying the Sony XM4s and Base QCs, those headphones are obviously more refined in terms of sound, but the step up isn’t as big as you would think, I’m able to hear parts of my music that I previously wasn’t aware existed.

What’s it like to use Anker Soundcore Life Q20?

With Noise Cancellation on, the Ankers outperform the Sonys. Period. It's a night and day difference, so if this is why you're considering these headphones, waste no more time and go get yourself a pair. Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling: 2 internal and 2 external mics work in tandem to detect external noise and effectively reduce up to 90% of it, such as planes and car engines.

So I tested the ANR. I turned on the A/C in my office, reset Sacrilege, and played the beginning again. The A/C, as expected, kinda dampened the experience, but not any worse than the Sonys. I reset the song again, with the A/C on, and activated ANR (it's called ANC on the Sonys). THIS is where the two headphones differ dramatically. Frequent travelers will like the fact that the headphones have rotatable ear cups and can fold up for storage and travel. However, there’s no hard case included but there’s a pouch in the box if you don’t want to scratch them up in your bag.

As a result, the hybrid active noise cancellation can detect and cancel out A wider range of low and mid-frequency noises such as cars and airplane engines.

The Soundcore Life Q20s feature swivel joints that enable the headphones to adjust to the shape of your head, while the memory foam ear pads are sympathetic to your lugholes. Often when we wear headphones, we start to suffer from fatigue after about half an hour, but these didn't give us any grief in the initial 90 minutes we were wearing them. It helped that the inside of each ear pad is fitted with a breathable mesh that stops your ears from sweating during longer listening sessions. The mic offers average intelligibility; when we tested it using the Voice Memos app on an iPhone, we could understand every word we recorded. Unsurprisingly, we heard some Bluetooth audio artifacts, too. On a decent cell signal, callers should be able to understand you without issue. Good Noise Cancellation Is Pricey, But You Can Do Better

Good entry-level noise-cancelling headphones

In Q20 they improved the headband suitable for smaller heads since the original Anker SoundCore Life 2 had large headband making it feel loose for people with smaller heads.
