Soundcore - Life Q30

I've been using a Sennheiser Momentum 4 for about 6 months now and I really enjoy them. The ANC isn't as powerful as some of the other brands like Sony, but the sound quality is what I was looking for! Soundcore has inexpensive models like the Q30 that are a great value and I highly recommend them if you are on a tight budget.

Adding to the support for Anker Soundcore. I've got a pair of Liberty 4 buds and a Life Q30 headset, they're both great, although the Q30 can start to feel tight if I wear it for longer than an hour (I wear glasses). The Liberty 4's came with 4 sizes of in-ear rubbery bits, and I ended up going with different sizes for each ear to get a good fit - the fit is usually my complaint about earbuds, so I'm pretty stoked that both stay in place. One of my favourite features of the app is the white noise generator: I like mixing the raindrops, wind in trees, and purring cat, for when I'm not listening to something but don't want just the hiss of the noise cancelling. I swear I'm not AI.

There are diminishing returns in the audiofile/hifi space after certain price points. I have not noticed a significant decrease in ANC between the q45 and q30. Any difference was not due to software. If you look up OPs reddit history, they are young and have significant health issues. $50 might not be much to you or I, but that can be a significant challenge for someone living with their challenges.

I have two favorites and both are Soundcore. I wear my over-the-ear Q30 when I'm on public transit because their noise canceling feature is awesome. They're also very comfortable and hold their charge. I often wear them all weekend non-stop all day with no issues. Also very affordable (around $60) and the sound quality is remarkable. When I'm in a quiet space or in my office, I use their Aeroclips. I was stunned when I first tried them, thinking there's no way these little things are as good as people have written about them. WOW! The sound quality is just as good as the over-the-ear. Amazon has them on sale this week for just under $100. They can be a little temperamental, but worth it. You have to be diligent about making sure the connectors on the ear piece and the case are clean or they won't charge evenly. But I've found that popping them back in their charger for 5 or 10 minutes after cleaning fixes the problem. (And 10 minutes gives you another 3 hours listening time.) I clip them on so I can listen while falling asleep. I like that they're comfortable enough to wear all night. (I have to check my ears in the morning before getting into the shower to make sure I'm not still wearing them!)

Anker Soundcore Q30 and Q45/Space One are the default answers here. They're pretty good for the prices, especially the Q30 as there isn't much more at that price range that can compete with it. I've had the Q30 for years and used them in a noisy office environment and they performed pretty well. The Battery life is very solid too, plus good app with EQ settings, USB C charging, folding design and a carrying case - they're hard to beat for the price. And if something were to happen to them on the trip, you're not out a ton.

Currently using Galaxy Fes, battery can run out if got them in constantly for 5hrs + without a recharge. Used Anker Q30s in the past which the battery would last ages and noise cancelling was superb

The Soundcore Space 1 has good ANC at the 100 mark. The Sony Ult Wear or Sennheiser Accentum are good at 200. The Xm4 or xm5 are good for a bit more. Space 1 has nice pad set up where it has a good seal but doesn't hurt. I tried the JBL live 770nc; they were really comfortable too. I used to have Q30 by Soundcore it was so loose it would fall of your head.

I have the Q30s and love them. My wife still has the Q20s I bought her during covid when her garbage JBL Quantum's microphone died after maybe a week of use.

I've been using the Anker Soundcore Q30 lately. A hell of a lot cheaper than the XM4/5 and they're bass cannons with pretty good noise cancelling.

I have the Q30 and my spouse has the Q35. Both are excellent. We also use them at home when there are renovations going on in our apartment building and they are life savers!

I just bought the Monster Persona 3rd, after wearing my old Soundcore Q30s to death. Here are my first impressions after only a couple of hours of use. * **Noise Cancelling:** The ANC on the Soundcore Q30 is noticeably stronger. With the Q30, it feels like stepping into a quiet vault, while on the Monster Persona it only reduces outside noise slightly-I can still hear what's going on around me. I also wish Monster offered an app to adjust ANC levels depending on the environment, which feels like a missed feature. * **Sound Quality:** The Monster Persona wins here. The clarity is excellent, and overall sound feels cleaner and more refined. Personally, I would have preferred a little less bass, but it's still a very enjoyable listening experience. * **Comfort & Fit:** The Monster is much lighter and stays in place better during movement (great for workouts or yoga) compared to the Q30. That's a big plus for me. * **Design Details:** I'm glad to be rid of the touch controls on the Q30. They were overly sensitive-just brushing against my hair could switch modes from transparency to ANC. The Monster avoids this issue entirely. **Overall:** The Q30 still has the edge in noise cancelling, but the Monster Persona 3 is lighter, more comfortable, and offers better sound quality. A solid trade-off depending on your priorities. I still have to trial a couple of different environment, like bus, plane but I think that for my needs it was a good trade off, espacially with a similar price.

I use AnkerQ30 headphones they are wireless and have a mix. Their battery life is 30 hours. The sound is good for a pair of headphones that don't cost more than $100.

Ich habe mir aus dem Grund einen Soundcore Q30 gekauft. Vor allem mit Musik klappt das toll. Je nach Lautstärke der Kinder kann man es manchmal bei Videos noch hören.

People abuse stuff. Just keep them in a hard case. I got 2.5 years out of the Soundcore Q30 that gets ripped for durability. I just always used the hard.

I also have their over ear headphones too and they're the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn. The earbuds are really comfy too.

Are you open to over ear? I use the sound core q30, pretty solid noise cancelling, great sound and long lasting battery (40h+)

I have just switched from soundcore q30 after 4 years and they were (they still work so I guess are) great budget headphones. I would honestly recommend soundcore if you are tight on budget

Most good headphones are gonna be good for most music, not just metal. The Sennheiser HD600's are my headphones of choice for dedicated music listening but some people don't like the relative lack of bass. I find them great for articulating between different instruments and being able to hear riffs and layers. Also depends on your use-case since these are wired and open back, meaning they're only really usable in a quiet area at home. I did just buy the Anker Soundcore Q30s and they're pretty nice. Definitely bass cannons but a hell of a lot cheaper than the Sony XM line or most other comparable Bluetooth headphones.

There are a ton of options right now. I liked the Soundcore Space 1 that I picked up last year. I don't get any latency. I sometimes watch random youtube videos on my work from home laptop. These are really comfortable for me, and I don't get any latency. I usually do use the AAC codec that Apple like to use on their phones or with Apple Music. Decent ANC too. Soundcore are not the most durable, but this model is better than my former one the Q30. You do get an 18 month warranty. I just order from Amazon or Best Buy usa. It is easy to keep with purchase there. A few others ones that are the 720n. Solid ANC and quite good sound. One negative is they don't fold up for transport. There are some after market cases. I do like hard cases as they protect the headphones from stupid stuff I do like have headphone roll around in the trunk with my laptop bag. A few other good ones are either JBL Tune 770nc or Live 770nc. The Live has nicer pads, but these both are solid items. JBL does have a low latency mode in their app. So, you can definitely avoid latency on movies. Some headphone blogs have really like the 1 More Sonoflow Pro. Good sound quality, decent anc, comes with its own hard case. It also uses the AAC codec as well as offering an LDAC codec for better sound quality.

I have a bunch of $100-$200 headphones and by far my most used are the kph40. Very light comfortable and small and easy to take on and off your head. Can be powered off a phone. They will let you hear what's going on around you not sure if that's a good or bad thing for you. If you need something isolating the anker q30 wireless are really nice after adjusting eq. If you want to spend more the Sony WH-1000XM4 is still around $200 has a good eq in app and really good noise canceling and a more luxurious feel to them.

I second the q30s as a cheap wireless headphone. Very durable and really good sound quality. ANC is super strong too, blocks out a majority of noise in the world but struggles a bit with the higher pitches I feel like sometimes, but all in all they're the best budget headphones I've ever gotten and even with the pads ripping off I still daily them.

If you're commuting a lot and want something that'll actually let you hear the soft parts in classical music, a few headphones stand out imo under $200. The Anker Soundcore Life Q30 is a crazy good value with solid noise cancelling and an EQ you can tweak to your liking. The Sennheiser Accentum is a bit more polished and has a really clean, balanced sound that works great for classical. If you want something super light and easy to wear all day, the Sony WH-CH720N is a solid pick with dependable ANC. Any of these should give you enough isolation so you're not constantly bumping the volume just to hear the quiet bits.

Eu uso um soundcore q30 (headset) fico todo suado, tá fedendo muito de suor kkkkk, por isso comprei um qcy melobuds, dizem que é bom, tô esperando chegar

Soundcore Anker Q30 are good for price. But the frame broke (had to tape up), still work. I'd go for Q20i next time, cheaper and simpler frame. Also got a set of Sonos Ace a few days ago. I need to try them more but they block out more noise from initial tests. But I wouldn't want to take them outside much as they are too expensive.

Not sure what the prices are, but I just got Anker Soundcore Q30 for 6K and it is amazing

Look at Anker brand on Amazon. I don't have earbuds from them because I've got AirPods Pro 2.0 but I got a pair of over ear Anker Q30s that are pretty good sound quality and noise cancelling. Their earbuds are supposed to be good also.

I have liked the Soundcore Space 1 that I picked up last July. I did notice that there are some replacements pads for the Soundcore Q45 or the Space 1 on Amazon USA. I still have the original pads on the older Q30 after 2 years, but I am more a 8-10 hours a week user. The Sony XM4 has been getting major discounts with the XM5 being out for several years. There are a ton of pads for those. If you don't need immediately, it is highly likely in 30 day period that Best Buy and Amazon will have a rebate dropping the price by $50-99. Sennheiser Accentum Plus or Momentum 4 both have good sound quality. There are replacement pads for both these on Amazon. It sounds like Sennheiser pads are some of the easiest to change since they have a good number of high dollar headphones. David Carnoy of Cnet did pick the accentum plus as his favorite mid priced wireless headphone. Below is his list of wireless headphones. You can click on any item to get detailed reviews. He also does brief but informative reviews on the Cnet youtube channel. [https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/best-wireless-headphones/](https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/best-wireless-headphones/)

Wireless headphones really aren't a BIFL item. They'll eventually break, or the battery will lose capacity. I like the Anker Soundcore headphones. The sound is decent and they're not terribly expensive. Over/around the ear headphones really aren't great for workouts. Too hot, and generally not sweat proof. Look into earbuds or bone-conductive headphones that have an IPX rating.

I've been happy with Soundcore q20 and Soundcore q35. Both on Amazon for fair prices. https://a.co/d/f43t2sK https://a.co/d/0uzonED I bought q20 on Amazon after my husband lost his job and was home, while I work from home. I got the q35 off of shopgoodwill.com because I liked that it could connect to 2 devices at once. I use both interchangeably.

Soundcore Q30, on your high limit. But don't expect miracles...

I have been using the Space 1 for about a year. It definitely has plenty of volume, and it does have a safety system if you want that. It has a nice punchy bass. It needed to be eqed, but it was good afaater that (the wavelet app does have some good eq suggestions). The Q30 has a design flaw where the headband tends to crack in about 10 months. It seems the earcups are too heavy for the headband. The Space 1 are really comfortable. People who pick up at the Sony 720 do like it. The sound is about the same as teh Soundcore.

I wasn't honestly shocked when I saw these results since I used to own the soundcore Q30 headphones then bought a XM4 headphones, and thought that they sound the same and for a higher price point for xm4, I was expecting so much better sound quality and anc. I think that there's a lot of affordable headphones out there that is comparable to higher end headphones.

I recommend the Coolpo Ignite Headset-it's affordable at around $70 USD and comes with a great noise-canceling mic. It includes a USB dongle for easy connection, plus a Bluetooth option, and the battery lasts up to 40 hours of playtime. Another option is the Anker Soundcore Life Q30 Wireless (about $80). It's a bit pricier than the Coolpo but super comfortable to wear, good mic noise cancelling feature and has an impressive 50-hour battery life. Both are good choices!

I've got anker soundcore ones. They are comfy but my ears are a bit sweaty in the hot weather, so I change to earbuds at times. I hate things on top of my head but I wear my soundcore headphones all day when it is not roasting. I find them more comfy than my daughter's expensive Sony ones. The noise cancelling probably isn't as good as the Sony but I am not rich so...

Just get the Soundcore Q30/Q35 if you don't want to spend. Yesterday they even had a sale, priced at 50 euro there is NOTHING so good at this price. Even at full 70 euro price, they are the best for low budget. You have a little bit of everything and nothing sounds 'bad'. I compared them with Sennheiser Accentum Plus and while you can certainly hear the difference, it's not worth 3x the price. Their app is also great with a lot of customization, ANC is good, battery life is good, everything just works. Totally recommend it.

Led zeppelin is my favorite band. I just bought an ft1 a month ago. I need a closed back as my wife and kid are always around, so open backs unfortunately are not smth I can for now. They sound great, the bass is a bit up, but sound good on rock and blues. I applied some eqs suggested from this forum and oratory, but the difference is not huge, so would not consider that a problem. Listening to jazz and things like Aretha Franklin, Etta James, it can hit you with how beautiful it sounds on piano and vocals. Going in the same direction from the others above, I also have a good iem, the s12 pro, which gives me that fast hit from a planar. They are a bit u shaped as well, but easy to eq if needed. I really think hard rock hours well with u shaped tuned. Some people say the s08 if I'm not mistaken came after cheaper and better. I also have got a cheap soundcore q30 just for plane travel with good ANC vs cost balance. They are cheap, feel cheap, but sound good with eq and ANC. All those would be around 300 USD. Ane they are ridiculous to drive as well, you don't need to think on crazy expensive gear for dac/amp if you don't have already. Unless you really prefer the more neutral tune instead of these Harman with u shaped ones, I'd recommend you try these, I really enjoy having them.

The best budget brand for audio in general would be Soundcore. Their Q line up is really good. I have the q30s and the space ones, and they sound pretty good. Plus their battery life is amazing, it's like 40 hours on full charge.

I would go with the Soundcore. They really provide good sound quality for the price. I have used Q30 and Space 1. Edifier 830 or One More Sonoflow Pro are 2 good other ones.

I get a pair of these about every year - they also make an over the ear version, both work very well and sturdy due to flexible materials Soundcore by Anker Life U2i Wireless Neckband https://a.co/d/1AmhAx6

I take six noisy buses a day wearing one of my Soundcore noise canceling over-the-ear headset. It makes a world of difference, especially when paired with an audiobook. It's a physical relief when I put them on. 🙃 The sound quality on any of their headsets are remarkable and I can (literally) wear them for hours with no discomfort. (I like the Space One Pro because the ear cups fold down to make it easier to carry in my bag. They're around $200. I also like the Q30 model, which are usually on sale for around $60 on Amazon.)

I did find an old post on this sub about the new Q30. The person that posted just purchased them, but it appeared sound quality was the same, but it had improved ANC and longer battery life. So, it sounds like they put a slightly different chip in the headphones and maybe improved the microphones. So, it sounds like no negatives on new model. ANC was pretty good on the original. So, if the original is still sold for less that's not bad either.

My noise cancelling headphones are "on" without any music playing. Soundcore life q30.
