soundcore by Anker Life Q30 Bluetooth Headphones, Hybrid Active Noise Isolation, Hi-Res Sound, EQ in App, 40h Battery, Comfortable Hold, Connection of 2 Devices (Black) (Renewed)

Hi all, they look done as they have been heavily used (4 hours a day at least) in a variety of environments for four years and still function perfectly, they have hit the ground from 6ft, survived light drizzle and been sat on, yet they keep working! It's due to the ear padding coming apart that they are being replaced 😢 Great value, sounds great (noise cancelling) and comfy on long journeys, they look good in back and are quick to charge in about 30 mins on a 20w (usb c).

I have had these headphones for nearly 2 years now, which I believe is long enough to give you all a proper review. I did a lot of research and decided to purchase them for £50. Money well spent. I have a very keen sense of hearing and love to hear all the levels of music from the highest pitch to the lowest. These headphones did not disappoint. The sound reproduction is excellent. I could not find any fault with them. Pairing is automatic and instant. The cancellation option is great for cutting out outside noises to cutting out sound escaping. Therefore, if you want to listen, without others hearing what you are listening to, five the Soundcore Q30 a go. You won't be disappointed. The battery life is exceellent. You can listen for several hours beofre putting it on charge. It has USB-C charging, which means it charges quickly.

First of all, the renewed headphones were as good as new and in perfect condition, so I’m very happy with that side of things. These headphones get good reviews, but I was initially very disappointed with the sound as it was way too muddy. They do have an eq in the soundcore app for your phone though and I was able to get them sounding very good with that. I found that in order to sound good the sound cancellation also needs to be switched on and I ended up settling with the two eq settings as shown in the pics attached. One big downside is that the eq doesn’t work in wired mode, which is disappointing. It’s fixable if you are using a computer by using another eq I imagine, but it does prevent me using them with some other hardware and devices. For me, these were actually a good buy in the end and I’m glad I chose them. They aren’t perfect but they are relatively cheap and have good battery life. If you intend to use these mostly with your phone (I’ve only tested with the iPhone) and are prepared to mess about with the eq, then these should do the job.

Would only recommend buying this on discount it's got good sound quality good features

Good set of headphones for the price. They were easy to set up and pair with other devices. Comfortable to wear. I bought them for my holiday to listen to music on the plane so not tried the noise cancelling yet but the sound seems ok in traffic and cuts out most of the background noise. As this is a very recent purchase time will tell. But otherwise all is well.

Very good and the quality was very solid, and it had lasted for a very long time and still using it till this day, the sound quality is very impressive and it's very comfortable inside and outside, a good 9/10 product

These are fab for the money. NC mode great for on airplane as drowns out that awful noise. Sound quality great too. Defo better than some much more expensive brands. The carry case is fab too, keeping them protected while travelling.

Perfect condition, the box was still factory sealed! Super quick delivery as usual and £30 off too!! Quality set of headphones, great sound and easy to use app.

The Anker life Q30 headset is a great performer for a bluetooth ANC headset. It is pretty well constructed, comfortable. I found the sound to be good, better than my bose QC 35ii, the ANC is also pretty good even if it is a touch below the Bose. Soundstage is wide for a bluetooth closed-back, sound signature is bassy out of the box but the EQ within the app allows for a much more balanced sound (I choose the Acoustic preset EQ) as well as multiple settings for the active noise cancelation. The Anker were delivered in a solid case with a USB -C cable and a 3.5 mm cable that I still did not use. Physical buttons are handy, and allow to switch on and off the headphones, to switch from Normal, to noise canceling, to transparency mode (I found this former mode to be also good, and you can also active it touching the right earcup with the palm of your hand for 2 seconds). Other physical buttons give the possibility to turn the volume up and down, to switch tracks and play/pause your music. Overall I'm very satisfied with the purchase as I find the price/performance ratio to be trully awesome even impressive. No comments about the phone calls fonction as I only use the Life Q30 to listen to music, I read that the last update considerably improved the microphone sound though. Overall 5 stars rating as you can't expect much better for such a low price. Well done Anker !

Late in life diagnosed neurodivergent adult here, and never had I ever tried noise cancelling headphones. I do use Loop earplugs to block sound sometimes, so I thought why not try noise cancelling headphones? Our house is on a budget so I couldn't spend too much, but I also didn't want to end up wasting money on a cheap pair of headphones that I wouldn't end up liking or using. I finally ended up settling on these. Unfortunately the first pair of headphones I received didn't work right. BUT I easily started the return/replacement process, and I received the replacement before I even returned the first pair. It was nice to be able to make sure the first pair was faulty and that it wasn't the headphones in general that felt... wrong on my ears. Fortunately the second pair was *chefs kiss* SO much better and I have basically been living in them since. (which also speaks to the battery life because I have had these for about two weeks and have only had to charge them once) They have fairly decent passive noise cancelling, active noise cancelling is really neat (you can connect to the soundcore app so you can adjust that, plus there's an equalizer in the app to adjust sound too), and the transparency mode is my absolute favourite. Just quickly touching the right ear for a second switches it to transparency mode so you can tune into your surroundings without stopping your audio or taking the headphones off--and I absolutely love that, as a parent and someone who is just on high alert a lot. The microphone works well for phone calls, I've been told that the sound is clear. I like that you can connect to two devices, at the same time, so I can use my Nintendo Switch and just switch over to my phone if I get a call. Pairing them was fairly straightforward. Oh, and they come with a case so you can travel with them too, and I'm sure I'm forgetting about other things I like about these. Honestly my only "complaint" is that I have a small head and the smallest size setting still concerns me that they might fly off my head if I turn too quickly--because they definitely make threats to fly off my head when I "headbang" even a little to my music. TLDR? I'm no expert but these are absolutely quality for the price point. Just be wary not to shake them off if you have a small head.

I had to order 2 of these. The first set I ordered was an Amazon Renewed item and they just didn't sound good at all. Based upon my previous experience with Soundcore products (4 pairs of wireless earbuds), I knew these weren't performing properly do, I returned them and ordered a brand new set. The new pair actually arrived early and I immediately put them to.the test. I listen to all.tyoes if music and, in a nutshell, these really impressed me. Now, I have stated in previous reviews that I am.an audiophile from way back in the ups and 80s and have used some of the finest headphones made from such manufacturers as Sennheiser, Koss, AKG, Beyerdynamics, etc. and, while I won't insult anyone by saying these are anywhere near that calibre, these cost 2% of what those cost. I do not like using the disclaimer of "for the price" because, for me at least, they either sound good or they do not, regardless of price. These are bit bass heavy right out of the box so, unless you are an out and out bass head, you will likely need to go into the Soundcore app and work with the EA presets or the custom EQ to tailor the sound how you like it. This is not a complicated taskand can show you the real potential of these headphones. Now, I do not care about ANC. I never use it. I do use transparency mode suite often and it works well with these headphones and the ability to tap the right earcuos to engage it is a nice touch. As for the build equality, these feel solid and feel like they will last a long time. The headband is comfortable and flexible without creaking. The earcups are deep, large and soft with a protein leather covering that, do far, has not been overly warm. So I would rare these as Very comfortable overall, and I have a large head The inclyede hard case is a nice touch and the headphones fold and fit nicely into it. Included with the headphones is a USB-C charging cable and 4.5mm aux cable do these can be used wired. So....do I recommend these? Yes! They are comfortable, feel durable, are versatile as far as functionality and, most important, they deliver a really nice audio experience with all genres of music. I got the black version but I have to say that the blue version is beautiful. You'll enjoy these!! PROS *Comfortable, even for large heads and ears *.Flexible and durable *Excellent sound quality *Long battery life *Ability to be used wire*ANC & Transparency mode work.wrll *Hard 5ravel case included *Attractive look *NFC fast pairing CONS *A tad heavy *Button layout is a bit cumbersome but you'll get used to it.

Du pro
