    Great quality. The padding is very soft and comfortable to wear for a long time. They feel sturdy and high quality. The noise canceling feature is excellent. If you’re an average user and not very picky with sounds (ie. you want heavy bass or super crystal clear sound), this is a really good option, especially with the price.

    Great battery life and nc. My house is incredibly noisy and cancels out everything!

    For the price, these are excellent. Possibly the best headphones I’ve owned, and I’ve owned quite a lot over the years. They’re not absolutely perfect though – the bass can be a bit uncomfortably intense and punchy at certain frequencies, the noise cancellation feature can create a “whomp whomp whomp” effect sometimes, and the placement of the on/off switch means I sometimes turn them off with my shoulder when leaning on my side. However, overall they’re very comfortable, have good battery life, fold up to a good size and have a really good sound for the price point.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersKeep looking over my shoulder in case hubby walks in as I’ve no other noise to go by. Not that I’m scared of him, you understand, I just hate being crept up on!!! Good sound. Bass is only either normal or “up” comfy on the ear. Attractive in the blue [I can’t hear my fingers win the keyboard btw!]. I have yet to try these on a long journey (obvs when I’m not driving!), so the real reason I want the noise cancellation remains to be seen…. Literally just unpacked these and after getting a bit confused by the instructions they are up and running.

    NB. They come almost fully charged (80%), and so you don’t need to plug them in initially despite the instructions on the Quick Start Guide. Also you cannot use them at all whilst charging, so if you are plugged into the USB port you can do nothing else. To pair, keep the button pressed down for as long as it takes to go through the whole pairing process with whichever device you are using, not the “5 seconds” as suggested by the instructions.

    Bye for now, off to float in my own little world of music….

    What can I say about these amazing headphones, very impressive with the sound quality and they are worth every penny I paid. I would have gladly paid three times as much.
    The headphones came nearly fully charged and it took me less then a minute to set up.
    I was a bit sceptical about the battery life, the company claimed 40 hours playback time in between charges. Well, I have had these headphones 3 days now and played over 24 hours of music. A message on the headphones informs me of the remaining battery life before I need to charge. Just switch them on this morning and the remaining battery life is medium. How impressive is that. I don’t often write reviews but felt I needed to get the word out there because I am so-impressed. If you do nothing else today order a pair
    these headphones through Amazon. If not satisfied just return but I guarantee you will not be sending them back.

    Only point of contention is the short cable provided to charge with.

    The colour is vibrant, bf is threatening to borrow it (steal it), the sound is super clear, so far been listening to my reggae list and feeling like I’m in a concert. Noise cancellation better than most other headphones on the market and for the price it’s a steal of a deal. Super easy to sync with smartphone can do with eyes closed…maybe.

    I purchased these for my daughter to replace an old and tatty set of Sony headphones.

    They were very well packaged and easy to setup out of the box with enough charge in them to see them through Christmas Day without being recharged.

    The sound quality is excellent, I bought them based on my own experience of using Anker Wireless Ear Buds which are bloody brilliant.

    The Noise cancelling is extremely good and can be activated or deactivated easily using the controls on the side of the headphones.

    They are very sturdy and fold neatly when not in use, they are supplied with a soft case which to be honest would not offer a great deal of protection in the event of a drop.

    For the money they offer really good value, OK they are not up there with the more premium brands (and the price tags that come with them) but for the purpose they were bought for they are more than adequate and have been a very good purchase indeed.

    Wow, just wow. Got these for my son for Christmas and he absolutely loves them. I was going to get him a pair of beats solo pro because they are what I use. After watching Paul Hibbert on Hibberthometech on YouTube I thought I would give these a shot. Let’s say even I’m thinking of giving up the way way overpriced Beats for a pair of these. Well done Anker on a fantastic pair of headphones.

    Decent sound
    Comfortable on ears

    But does anyone else find they are on the large side and even for a 6ft3 fella they continually slip off ma head? Slightest movement and there down over my face!

    Hab keinen Vergleich zu hherwertigen Produkten, aber: der Sound stimmt fr mich, voller Bass, klare hohe Tne. Bluetooth funktioniert (NC muss ggf. ausgeschaltet werden, ist nicht immer ntig); mit Klinke funktioniert’s auch. Kann mich nicht beschweren.

    The noise cancellation on these headphones are pretty good and the battery life is good.
    Perfect for the gym

    They can hurt your ears if you wear them for too long

    I only wear them for about an hour before I have to give my ears a res

    Decent headphones

    Very happy with these, I’m a fan of Anker, also have a bluetooth speaker and power pack from them.. The sound is well balanced and overall has a good sound, comfortable fit too and very good noise cancel. I found them very easy to connect to Alexa and use them to play prime music., The charge has lasted ages and suprised I can sit at the bottom of my garden and still receive a great sound. I’ll be a bit girly too and say the blue colour is gorgeous.

    I bought these to actually cope with external/ overwhelming noise from Pride as my Sennheiser are falling apart!

    The headset is amazing, very comfortable for long use and I love the blue. I have had some issues with sound adjustment (but that might be user error)! Excellent noise cancelling, I can now sit in my garden with these on and have serenity and peace from the traffic noise! I’m not an audiophile, but I do love my music.

    The sound is crystal clear, both for music and my beloved audio books. The battery life is fantastic, I love how fast these charge up and retain charge! I’m delighted with these, great price 43 ish, heartily recommend. There are many videos on YouTube for those that want detailed specifications!

    I love these headsets. The battery lasts for ages depending what you use it foe and how long/loud. The blue colour is lovely.

    These are pretty good headphones. The noise cancelling on its own is good it helps distance loud traffic noise etc etc…
    I have had bose before and they are good but I’m glad to have bought these at a fraction of the cost of bose and nearly as good If not as good at noise cancelling. I can also use music or nature sounds not having as loud with the noise cancelling. I bought two pairs blue and silver.

    I have this for a year. For the sound quality and noise cancelling feature, I must say it is really outstanding, I compared it to my husband’s Bose Headphone and compared to it’s price I find Soundcore is more reasonable. Although I have some issues on it’s Bluetooth that sometimes couldn’t connect to my phone and sometimes disconnecting on its own for no reason. Lastly, on the inner headband where the headphones bend, it has already a crack, that’s why I don’t bend it anymore, because I’m afraid it will totally break.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersNoise cancelling headphones! And seeing reviews and research not only do they cost less than Bose they are also very durable compared Bose. I kind of feel like I’ve made myself a self appointed ambassador for soundcore I have found the best company for music. I have 2 pairs of Soundcore life P2 a pair for at home and a pair for outdoors. But the headphones with the noise cancelling setting will help me with my Autism #
    Hyper Sensitive Hearing At home when mom is hoovering or when I’m out especially on a rainy day and the wet road and cars are causing me head pain. I love my new headphones. Thank you for being the best. I even have Anker laptop accessories. I am a huge fan of your products. The only issue with the noise cancelling and being outside when it’s windy, the wind is actually louder with it on. So if the music is on, the noise cancelling can’t be otherwise the wind sounds so loud. But when it’s not windy and the NC is on. It’s awesome. I made my mom wear them when the kettle was boiling and put the NC on and off during the boil and she could hear the big difference. It’s awesome. Best headphones ever.

    Noise cancelling headphones! The price! The look!

    My ‘office’ is in the spare room, next to the bathroom. My wife bathed our 1 year old next door. Usually this involves splashing, banging, crying, laughing… it’s a noisy affair and I didn’t notice!

    I’m sure there is better sound quality or noise cancellation to be had, but for 55 this is easily the best to be found if you don’t want to spend hundreds on a pair of headphones.

    The sound quality of these headphones is excellent. Certainly on par with anything costing 3 times as much.
    I especially like the soft memory foam ear cups, making wearing them for an extended period comfortable.

    We received the order in Dec/2020 but the battery didn’t work properly after 1 month. Then we contacted the CS of Anker and they arranged the replacement quickly. The product is good and we highly recommend our friends to order from Anker.

    I have the Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones that aren’t inexpensive and sound wonderful. The Anker Soundcore I purchased sound unbelievable for the low price. The bass can be increased or turned off the actual hearing experience is so good it’s very surprising as you’d think these would cost more. I definitively will be purchasing more as the quality is unreal

    Fantastic quality for the price

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis is the 4th pair we’ve bought in a year and they’re all still working well. The grey pair in the photos are the first ones I bought back in April 2020 and as you can see there’s no damage to them at all. They’re sturdy and durable with great sound and noise cancelling. I like that you can control the PC and apps directly with the buttons on the headset. The battery lasts ages, I charge them about once a week with regular use.
    My only complaint is the sound can get glitchy with some videos. I’m not sure if it’s bluetooth or the PC causing it but I just plug them directly into the PC wih the aux cable that’s provided when that happens to get seamless sound again.
    Bonus: we don’t disturb each other working and studying during lockdown by using these.

    Great quality, sound and durable

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI rarely leave reviews, a product has to either be special or terrible for me to leave a review. In this case it is because the product is rather special.

    I actually can’t recommend these highly enough, took seconds to connect them to both my computer and phone by bluetooth, excellent quality of sound with no distortion even at high volume, little sound leakage again even at high volume and perfect noise cancelling properties. Very good battery life and although I was initially worried by the weight and size of them very comfortably to wear.

    Overall an excellent product and an absolute steal at the price, you can pay much more for products which are no better and which are often significantly worse.

    Great earphones. I love that I can leave my phone somewhere without having the sound stuttering. Sounds are great.

    Sono molto soddisfatto dell’acquisto. Il pacco arrivato rapidamente e le cuffie sono comodissime, morbide e avvolgono completamente le orecchie. Attutiscono parecchio i rumori anche senza riprodurre audio; con la musica, poi, non si sente alcun suono esterno: ideali per lavorare in ambienti rumorosi. Ottima durata della batteria. Insomma, per questo prezzo sono davvero un affare.

    I have had these for a few months now, i brought them just before i went on holiday as i didn’t want to take my expensive headphones away.,the reviews looked good and they looked like a bargain. these have pretty much become my everyday headphones when i am out walking, the noise cancelation does a good job with stopping wind noise and background aircraft noise whilst on the flight. I will definitely be looking at the future updates for this product.

    Comfy fit, sound is good but not crystal clear, may be a bit to heavy on the bass side.
    Easy to use controls. Instructions could be better.

    I bought these headphones around 6 months ago and I absolutely love them. For the price they are amazing quality and the battery life lasts for way longer than I expected. And even when I did have an issue with them the customer service was INCREDIBLE. They replaced them with absolutely zero hassle. I couldn’t have asked for any more from a 50 pair of headphones. They are amazing and I really couldn’t recommend them anymore.
