Pretty good for the money.

These headphones work well, given they are quite inexpensive. The noise cancellation is noticeable but not outstanding, but good given the compact size and low power used to drive the electronics. I did not expect the hard case that is included, and that is a plus if needed. The lead from the source to the phones is quite short but long enough to use, but I already have a 12' one, so having the short one does not affect my listening. They are comfortable. I have worn them for several hours at a time without complaint.

Great value

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2024

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

Just received my earphones a few days ago and so far living them. The quality of material seems great. Adjustable head band is good for excellent and secure fit. The memory foam earpieces are good although mine seem a bit tight. I guess I have big ears since after a while it’s a little uncomfortable. Battery life is fabulous. It charges quickly and, although I haven’t had the earphones for a long time, they haven’t run down yet even though I’ve been using them for hours. They were easy to pare with my iPhone and my LG Tv. No problems there and they easily connect and disconnect from these devices when I turn them on or off. Sound quality is excellent. I’m not a sound engineer or expert in any way but I love the way they sound. The app on my phone allows me to customize the sound via the app-provide equalizer. It also provides many pre-configured sound options if you don’t want to or know how to mess with the equalizer. I thought I read that the product comes in a flimsy carrying bag but I was pleased to see that it has a sturdy protective case similar to my wife’s Bose earphones. Maybe what I remember reading was for the Q20 earphones. Not sure but this carrying case is great. The user instructions were minimal (in many languages of course) but understandable. I couldn’t find any information though on how to answer phone calls, if that’s at all possible. I haven’t received any calls yet to experiment. The sound isolation mode is excellent. I’m comparing to my earbuds AND my wife’s Bose. Transparency mode allows outside noise in but seems weirdly amplified. Perhaps there’s an adjustment to modulate that amplification. But I mostly use the sound isolation. Easy to switch from isolation to transparency by just tapping (and briefly holding) the right earphone. Very easy. There’s also a control button on the left earphone which allows you to switch between transparency, isolation, and normal modes. All control buttons are easy to “activate.” It comes with a short charging cable but not charging “block.” You’ll have to provide that yourself but we all have tons of those from all of our electronic devices. There’s also a provided cable if you want to connect to your phone via wire rather than Bluetooth. This cable is 3mm (male) to 3mm (male). So if you want to wire-connect to your iPhone or Android, you’ll need an adapter ($5-$10 on Amazon). In summary … great product and fabulous value so far. I highly recommend.

Great build and sound quality, no noise cancellation in AUX mode

Dan

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2024

Color: BlueVerified Purchase

The sounds quality through Bluetooth is great, provides for a nice music listening experience, good bass quality - as much as a mid-range headphone can have. Ability to customize through mobile app is a nice plus. Noise cancellation is surprisingly good, with several environmental customizations. The transparency setting is a bit noisy, but still effective.
Very comfortable to wear - no fatigue after wearing for long periods of time (>6 hours).
It can double as a phone call headset, which is another nice plus.

The one downside is that the noise cancellation turns off once the AUX mode is activated - meaning the 3.5mm AUX cable is attached. My intent is to use this headphone for air travel, yet noise cancellation is cancelled (pun intended :)) once the device is plugged into airplane's entertainment system.
In all fairness, the user manual does state this is how the device works. If needing to use in planes and noise cancellation is a priority, one is limited to own devices for entertainment - sometimes not the best option.
Perhaps the Amazon description can be updated to alert shoppers that are seeking air travel headphones, like me.

Great Value and Strong Performance

JMT

Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2024

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

Noise canceling is the best feature. They do a great job of blocking out the sound of air conditioning, washing machines, and other day-to-day noise. The sound quality is good, once you adjust the default equalizer settings in the soundcore app. The soundcore Signature, the default equalizer setting, performed pretty poorly on most music, but thankfully most of the other presets are much better. I found the Acoustic setting was the best for my taste and then I tweaked the settings from there to get it just right.

I have a large head and have found it comfortable for long periods. Not too tight and not too loose, though I certainly wouldn't wear them to workout. The look is basic and unoffensive, which is perfectly fine with me.

The controls on the headphones themselves are intuitive and easy to pick up and the soundcore app is straightforward. I had a little trouble pairing them the first time, but they have connected quickly and easily since.

Will update with any future durability issues.

Amazing for the price

UNBOXING / PRODUCT - 9/10
Opening the box, I was impressed with packaging and initial impressions of quality. Headphones felt solid and of good quality materials. Connecting to a new device is very straightforward (press and hold power button for +3 seconds). Controls on the sides of the headphones make it easy to adjust volume quickly, as well as noise cancellation functionality. There is a nice touch where if you press and hold on the logo on the right-side headphone it will go into 'transparency' mode, which brings outside noise into the headphones. This is helpful if you're in noise cancellation mode and a coworker stops by to chat, you can quickly and easily duck in and out of noise cancellation. The headphones fold for travel. The kit includes a USB-C charging cable, aux cord and carrying case.

SOUND QUALITY - 9/10
So far the soundstage is broad, with clear highs and deep bass. Excellent!

COMFORT - 10/10
Ear pads are extremely soft, which makes them easy to wear for long periods. Adjustable band for different head sizes. Excellent comfort.

NOISE CANCELLATION - 7/10
This is the main reason I bought the Anker Soundcore Q30 headphones. I live in a townhouse and my neighbour with a shared wall has dogs that bark during the day - I needed a way to focus while working from home. While the NC does not completely eliminate the noise, it does reduce it significantly - I would say 60-70% reduction. I considered whether or not to just purchase construction-style noise blocking over the ear headphones, which promise up to a -38dB reduction, but they are often designed for extreme environments and would not be comfortable for a long period of time. If complete elimination of noise is required, you could purchase a more expensive pair of Bose Ultimate headphones. Or, use a pair of foam earplugs with these overtop and play white noise or music through the headphones with NC turned on.

If you go to rtings.com, you can objectively compare the noise cancellation performance of these Q30's with premium Bose and Sony headphones. Surprisingly, the performance is closer than you might expect for the price gap. Yes, the Bose in particular blocks more sound, especially in the higher frequencies. But the Q30's are still some of the best performing noise cancelling headphones for the < $100 market.

Within the app, you can choose from 3 noise cancelling 'modes'. These are not available unless you download the app, and customize the frequencies that are targeted by the NC.

1) Transport: Targets low-end frequencies like engine and road noise (default mode)
2) Indoor: Eliminates voices and mid-frequency noise (this is my preferred mode)
3) Outdoor: Reduces ambient sound on-the-go

Its worth noting that because these are large, over-the-ear headphones, just putting them on will cut some of the noise. Even before you start playing any music, you can just put these on your head and instantly cut like -20 dB or more from the ambient sound. You can also activate NC without playing sound, so if you want to just cut the noise, you can do that.

BATTERY LIFE
I'm still waiting to kill this battery. It lasts for days of casual use. I'm not sure if it will actually last for the claimed 40 hours, especially when using NC, but its certainly better than my wireless buds.

VALUE / CONCLUSION
Buyers looking for good quality NC headphones on a budget will be very pleased. Sure, a set of Bose or Sony headphones will outperform in ultimate noise cancellation and sound quality, but for the price these Soundcore Q30's are a great buy.

Melhor fone pela faixa do preço.

Reviewed in Brazil on August 10, 2023

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

Comprei esse fone em fevereiro, chegou um mês antes do prazo. Desde março até agora, agosto, o fone não apresentou nenhum desgaste (levando em conta que eu uso ele pelo menos 3-4 horas por dia, normal e as vezes suado): o couro está 100% e a bateria continua nova.

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.
