soundcore Q30 by Anker, Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones with Travel Pouch, Multiple Modes, Hi-Res Audio, Custom EQ via App, 50H Playtime, Comfortable Fit, Bluetooth, Multipoint Connection

This is my second set of over ear headphones by soundcore, my first set was the soundcore life model,and are still working fine but all the ear padding and headpading started to fall apart so became uncomfortable, and the sound quality is excellent for the price point, so it was an easy decision to purchase the same make, and the noise cancelling feature works a treat and the sound quality is better than ever and so comfy to wear so what ever music is your cup of tea you can really emmerse yourself and enjoy your music or whatever you want to listen to

Great headphones for the price. Like the settings for noise cancelling for outside and indoor. Sound is good and comfortable on my ears. Would recommend.

First of all, great headset. Noise cancelling works as expected, if not better, I use it in many scenarios from long car journeys to day to day work in my household and it's a huge difference. Sound quality is great, very light, comfortable and easy to wear. After a year and a bit of solid use, the headset did show some signs of age with the left headphone losing audio entirely and periodic noise coming through, as well as some issues with the connectivity at certain angles. However, after emailing Soundcore's Support Team, I was able to claim my warranty and was sent a replacement within 2 days of the ticket being opened! I would definitely recommend this headset. For it's price, it's great value.

great for the price, great sound sound quality, surprisingly comfortable, easy to use app to customise for your liking. the weight isnt as heavy as you think it is but it is lightly on the heavy side but again i didnt have issue with it as im used to wearing overear headphones. its the average size of overear headphones and comes with a black pouch case. you can use it to excersize but i advise against itt as it does tend to trap sweat in. but other than that the headphones are pretty great and versatile.

I'm an avid buyer of £200+ headphones but wanted something cheaper for the gym, cause of the trauma of my old ones coming apart. They come with a drawstring bag and the ear parts fold up so it all fits in the bag nicely. The sound quality is 8.5/10. But 10/10 for the price. And I say this because at full volume the sound does become a bit distorted, however pressing the volume down one from the top on my iPhone fixes this. The noise cancellation I'd give a 8/10. It's not perfect, but when listening to music you can't hear anything unless a really really loud sound is around which bleeds through slightly. If you're sitting and just want to block out noise without music, it doesn't really do much. The bass is 10/10. It can't handle extremely bass boosted tracks, however for standard/a bit more bassy it is amazing! And I'm a lover of bassy music so this was important for me. The app you can download with it allows you to play with the equaliser yourself too, which is a nice touch. I did buy these when on offer and think they are more than worth the money. Only thing that's a bit meh is they're very round shaped on my head lol, but the ear muffs are very comfortable and fit around my ear nicely. They're also very lightweight. I only get a bit uncomfortable if I've had them on my head for like 4 hours+ and need to shift them cause of the pressure in my ear feeling off. But they're way more comfier than the expensive headphones I've had. The connectivity has been fine and it can connect to 2 devices at once which is good. I haven't experienced them disconnecting randomly, and they have a better range than my Airpod Pro 2s. The buttons look a bit cheap on the sides and could be placed better. But again for the price they're decent. All in all 100% worth the money, and good for an everyday headphone you won't feel guilty about anything happening to them.

I’ve now purchased three pairs of these—which is the ultimate testament to their value. All three of my children use them daily in different colours. As someone who handles a lot of high-end tech, I find the Q30 sits in that rare "sweet spot" where you get 90% of the premium experience for 30% of the cost. ​Build & Comfort: While the construction is primarily high-quality plastic rather than magnesium or carbon fibre, they are incredibly robust. They’ve survived years of teenage use without the hinges snapping—a common failure point in this price bracket. The ear cups are exceptionally soft; they do get slightly warm after 2+ hours, but the lightweight frame prevents any "clamp fatigue" on the head. ​Technical Performance & ANC: The Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is the standout feature. It handles low-frequency hums (like airplane engines or office AC) impressively well. While it doesn't quite match the "silence" of £300+ Sony or Bose flagships for high-pitched human voices, the transparency mode is natural and highly functional. ​Sound & Connectivity: ​Audio Profile: Out of the box, they are bass-heavy, but the Soundcore App is excellent. I highly recommend using the Custom EQ to pull back the 100Hz/200Hz bands slightly for a cleaner mid-range. ​Codecs: They support AAC and SBC. While they lack LDAC or aptX, for Spotify and YouTube streaming, the Bluetooth 5.0 connection is rock-solid with no noticeable latency. ​Battery: The 40-hour (ANC on) battery life is genuine. The USB-C "Fast Charge" (5 mins for 4 hours of play) is a lifesaver for kids who forget to charge overnight. ​Buttons vs. Touch: I appreciate the tactile physical buttons for volume and track skipping. They are far more reliable than touch sensors when you’re on the move, though the "tap-to-transparency" feature on the right cup works well. ​Final Verdict: The shift from a hard case to a soft travel bag in newer versions is a slight shame, but it doesn't change the fact that these are the best budget-friendly ANC headphones on the market. If you want pro-level features without the "luxury tax" of the big brands, these are it.

I’ve been trying to find the best headset for quite some time. Out of 9 headsets I’ve bought recently that’s 9 returns and that included the Soundcore q20. Now after purchasing this headset I am very happy. 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.

I first bought this product (Q30) in 2023 and it lasted for almost three years. It was really good; cheap, great audio quality, and fantastic battery life. This pair suffered from the covering disintegrating around the padding around the ears, followed by the plastic near the ear cups cracking. In the end, they broke. This was over the course of three years with daily use bear in mind. For the price, I felt that trade-off was acceptable and decided to buy another one. Especially as all this worked out-of-the-box, no apps or configuration required. The second Q30 I received has been updated since the original. The headphones seem a bit more 'plasticky' which is not necessarily a bad thing as the the buttons on the old one were a bit awkward to press in my opinion. However the stand-out difference in the new one is that the audio quality is simply inferior. The sound seems muffled compared to a much crisper experience in the legacy set. I have downloaded the Soundcore app, and altered the EQ settings as described online but the poorer sound quality still remains. For that reason I probably would not recommend buying these as the primary reason I ordered this product was that the audio was fantastic for the price. I still give this product three stars as the battery life is great and the price is still really good.

مريحة جدا وعزل الصوت فيها ممتاز والكواليتي بتاعتها حلوة اوي كمان البطارية بتقعد كتير جدا وبتتشحن ف ثواني بس كنت اتمنى لو لسة بتيجي مع الشنطة الهارد كفر

Being a devoted fan of Anker products, I've been a satisfied user of the Soundcore Life Dot 2 for the past three years. These earbuds have proven their durability, maintaining excellent condition over time. The remarkable battery backup of 8 hours, coupled with the convenience of the charging case extending it to a week, has contributed to their longevity in my daily use. As someone who values Anker's reliability, the decision to upgrade was driven by the desire for noise-canceling features. While the Soundcore Life Dot 2 served me exceptionally well, the enhanced functionality offered by the newer model with noise cancelation was a compelling reason to make the switch. The brand's consistency in quality and innovation has certainly earned my continued loyalty. I've been enjoying these headphones for the past 2 days during various activities such as walks, movie sessions, and extended music listening, and I must say they've exceeded my expectations. As a self-proclaimed bass head, I can attest that the low-end response is impressive. However, for those seeking a balanced sound, the initial experience might not be as appealing, but the Soundcore app provides a solution with its customizable equalizer. The build quality leans towards plastic, but given the price point, it's well-designed. The ear cups are remarkably soft with good cushioning, providing a comfortable fit. The headrest follows suit, enhancing the overall comfort during extended usage. The active noise cancellation (ANC) is truly noteworthy, giving a tough competition even to premium options like the AirPods Pro. One minor drawback is the transparency mode, which tends to amplify external sounds in windy or crowded environments, sometimes making conversations and wind noise more prominent. Extended use may lead to slightly warm ears, but it's manageable. On the positive side, the Amazon delivery experience was commendable—swift and smooth. The fact that the product came directly from the original supplier adds a layer of trustworthiness. However, I must express dissatisfaction with the delivery personnel who left the parcel unattended outside my door. This could pose a security risk and is an aspect that needs improvement in the overall delivery service.

Now that ive had these for a couple months I feel confident in writing a review. These headphones got my attention because I like how sleek they looked along with the different colors you can get. I love the specs on them and they are so comfortable to wear even for hours at a time. I love how easy it is to set up and I absolutely love that I can switch to my laptop to my phone in seconds without having to go through the hassle of disconnecting or unpairing. The sound quality is amazing. Like honestly its really impressive. I love that you can also block out noise. Thats really cool to me. I like the app and its easy to use as well. I like that its free and you can comes with white noise incase you wanted to use these for sleep or meditation etc. There isnt anything I can even complain about honestly. I would absolutely buy these again or give them as a gift to someone. I honestly cant believe they arent more expensive. They are great value for your money. I 100% recommend these to everyone looking for a pair of headphones.

Tytułem wstępu - w swojej recenzji odniosę się do słuchawek sony wh 1000xm5 oraz airpods pro (dla kontekstu sony kosztował 1600, air podsy 1000, a te 269 zł). Te słuchawki zamówiłem przez amazona i dotarły do mnie kurierem w mniej niż 48h - były to moje pierwsze zakupy ogólnie jestem bardzo pozytywnie zaskoczony realizacją zamówienia. Co do samych słuchawek. Opakowanie, kable do ładowania, etui poziom apple - za tę cenę nie spodziewałem się takiego standardu, poziom premium. Słuchawki leżą na głowie lepiej niż sony, są w zasadzie nieodczuwalne na głowie / uszach. Dźwięk w porównaniu do sony czy airpodsów jest dla mnie taki sam - nie jestem audiofilem, słuchawek używam do grania i rozmów, więc może coś mi umknęło. Wygłuszanie pasywne troszeczkę gorsze od tego, co proponuje sony - tam się czuło trochę jak w klatce, co ma w sumie dobre strony przy głośnym domu. Noise cancelling, czyli w sumie to co mi najbardziej zależało uważam troszeczkę za gorszy od sony, ale te troszeczkę gdyby przełożyć na procenty to może max 10% różnicy (miałem możliwość testowania w tym samym czasie wszystkich 3 produktów w tych samych warunkach). Łączność przez bluetootha jest trochę dziwna, bo w moim przypadku wymagała wyłączenia i włączenia słuchawek ponownie - może robie coś źle. Przyznać jednak muszę, że przełączanie pomiędzy sprzętami np iphone, a mac air lub tv lg, a iphone jest znacznie lepsza niz sony, nie tak perfekcyjna jak w apple, ale znacznie lepsze. Dźwięk podczas rozmów jest bardzo nienatualny. O ile nie miałem żadnego problemu z głosem przychodzacym to wychodzący słyszane przez słuchawki był nie naturalny. Probowałem podczas kilku rozmów przełączać noise canceling pomiędzy ich 3 tryby, ale dalej był on trochę zniekształcony w porównaniu do sony czy apple. Może tak już jest, a może to po prostu moje odczucia Słuchawki kupiłem głównie do grania na konsoli, sporadycznie też do okazjonalnych rozmów. W swojej recenzji absolutnie nie biorę pod uwagę muzykę, choć w mojej opinii nie zauważyłem różnic ze słuchawkami znacznie droższymi. Biorąc pod uwagę wszystkie plusy i minusy oraz ofertę znacznie droższej konkurencji uważam, że był to bardzo dobry zakup. To nie jest tak, że wystawiam b dobrą opinie ponieważ były tanie (w porównaniu do w/w słuchawek konkurencji) - te słuchawki są po prostu bardzo dobre. Zapłaciłbym bym za nie lekką ręką znacznie więcej. Polecam, są naprawdę bardzo dobre

[I've edited this review after some time spent with the headphones] At first, being used to very neutral/transparent headphones, I got very shocked by the loudness of the low end on these. I'm still using an external software to adjust the equalization as the low end is too pronounced for my taste and seems overly present even for electronic music - I wish this feature was reduced in the future, or that an option to natively control it was given to the user. However, after two weeks of using, I noted several points that are very positive, which leads me to give a five-star review : - The headphones are really confortable and can be worn all day without fatigue. - The overall quality of sound (minus the bass being too present) is excellent for an item at this price (currently 7k). - The noise cancellation feature is quite weak in the treble, but works well with the mids and lows, and gives a lot of confort even without playing music when in noisy environments. - The battery life, and especially the fast charge, are great. It really behaves as advertised. For someone like me who struggles with charging his devices other than last minute, I'm over the moon with the ability to plug it for a few minutes and get a decent lifespan, enough to do a normal commute or fall asleep to music for example. That's really a gamechanger from other BT headphones I had before - The customer service is excellent and very reactive. I must say that for a product priced so competitively, I didn't not expect this quality of service. So all in all, after a second thought, I'm really recommending this product to anyone looking for a good price/quality headphones.
