Great sound
I had multiple pairs of bud headphones before but after losing one or another – I needed some new headphones. I am happy with the sound quality and volume that these headphones have provided. Hours after unboxing, great buy!
Excellent !
The sound is fantastic, noise cancellation is a real bonus. Super effective on a flight or busy street. Comfortable, come with a little pouch to fold in to. Also, and this is a real bonus. As well as bluetooth, it comes with a direct line cable. Cant fault it. Even holds a charge for a VERY long time.
Good product for the price
Very comfortable on the ears. Great sound. Noise cancellation is not great I wouldn’t purchase these if you wanted very good noise cancellation you can definitely hear conversations clearly in the background
Sound
I love the way it feels on my head and the sound quality is impeccable.
Although, i do feel a wee bit blindsided because the headphones are supposed to be noise cancelling but it’s not.
People who sit beside me can still hear the audio coming my headphones.
soundcore Anker Q20 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones
Great noise cancelling headphones. The only downside is that to connect the headphones to another bluetooth device you have to manually disconnect them from the other one. In terms of functionality though they are very good and fit very well on the ears.
Brilliant!
I’ve had these a few months and bought them Black Friday at an incredible price of 30!! I use them in the gym and they’re fantastic for blocking out their music, and other sounds. I hardly charge them as the battery life is amazing. Well worth every penny!
Great quality
These were surprisingly good. I didn’t expect them to be this good! Very happy with them. Use them often to cancel out noise in busy places and the Bluetooth connection is quick and reliable.
Best headphones
These are absolutely amazing headphones. The Bluetooth is easy to connect, sound is great, noise cancellation works really well. I also manage to use these whilst on the phone. Comes with a nice bag to keep the headphones in. Overall these are great for the price and quality is great!
Happy with purchase
I liked these and my husband tried them and we got them for him too. The noise cancelling is good and the volume levels are good. Tje earphones charge up quickly. A voice tells you the battery level each time you connect via Bluetooth. The fit is a little bug but I suppose it needs to be for NC to be efficient. So far we are pleased with the purchases.
The instructions are a little small and brief but better ones are easily available online via the link given. The earphones come well packed in a sturdy box. Nothing to dislike really.
Customer service is first class
The headphones are just what I require and very good for the price, but after one use they turned off when trying to connect to Bluetooth devices, so I contacted the customer support team, I spoke with Tina who tried to correct the problem by phone but it didn’t work, I was asked to return the headphones in the original packaging so she could arrange a replacement. I let her know when I had sent the package on Friday afternoon by Evri and the replacement headphones arrived on Saturday afternoon!! Really pleased with the service I received. I am now happily using the new ones which work perfectly.
Good but not for long periods
The noise cancelling is enough to block out general noise for focus however it’s not super super effective. I can still hear if I’m tapping etc and people are talking. Depends on the frequency. But saying that, I’ve actually used it with very low music volume at night to block out the city sounds of Sao Paulo and a snoring Sister in law so I could sleep. Sound quality is good and I find I focus really well with these. However they’re too heavy for my ears and too big for my head at the shortest setting so I can’t wear them for too many hours as it starts to ache. But for the price they are good, and versatile. Battery could last longer.
I usually use in ear headphones but I sometimes find they irritate the skin if I’m watching a film so tend to use them only for short amount of time. Someone recommended trying over the ear headphones so I did a little research. Didn’t want to spend fortunes but I had specific ideas about what I wanted. These were a good price and had everything I needed. I would recommend them for sound, comfort, reasonable cost. They have a good range if I need to move about. They’d make a great gift. I have to pair them each time I use them and that’s a pain (but equally it could be my lack of knowledge about how I should do it) Overall I’m really happy with them and would repurchase if needed.
Grea
Bought for my autistic/adhd 10 year old daughter and they work a treat! She can wear them all day and is very comfortable. She has high sensory needs so finding some that didn’t hurt her ears or pull her hair was important but also blocked out noise and they do just that. I was surprised at how comfortable they are and how much noise is cancelled out. Very pleased with my purchase.
Great sound but just too big
Good head phones
Quality sound and comfortable
Only down fall is there quite big and don’t stay on without wearing a cap to gym .they obviously can be adjusted but it’s on smallest size and still to big and I don’t have a small head so if your a woman.. avoid buying
I have a mission to find the cheapest tech at the best quality for my needs. These cans do all that. I want to listen to my music/podcasts in public but still be half aware. These cut the noise similar to earplugs and if you are listening to music then even moreso. So it will cut out the noise of next door but you can still hear the doirbellThey are super comfortable especially for glasses wearers, they don’t leak sound so you won’t be a nuisance. However it’s the connection that astounds me, I had to go to transport lost property to pick up my Fire Tablet because I was listening to podcasts and left it in a bus seat. It wasn’t until the bus was half way down the street that the connection have out. Try not to do that certainly but you could be sitting in the garden with them connected to a device in the house or walking up and down stairs doing the housework.
You will not regret buying these especially if you commute or have a busy house.
Awesome!
I have had many headphone sets over the years, and am usually a bit of a Magpie for the shiny top brands – Bose – Sony etc. These are the best I have ever owned, by far. Excellent build quality, superb sound across the spectrum, and the noise cancelling is next level! I was trying to watch a movie the other day, with the council digging up the road 2 metres from my window – one click of a button and I couldn’t hear them at all, even with the tv volume at about half way. Battery lasts ages and they are definitely the most comfortable headphones I have owned. Fantastic.
Best........ Headphones........... Ever.
I got these on the recommendation of a friend, and luckily when they were on sale for less than 30. Although they are well worth the 50 that they usually go for. The noise cancelling is amazing and the sound is absolutely fantastic, especially when the bass boost is activated. I took them away on a recent trip to Center Parcs to drown out noise from the rest of the people in our cabin while I read in the evenings and didn’t need to charge them the whole time I was there. As the title says, best headphones ever and I would totally recommend. I would put them right up there with the likes of Bose.
Great Value For the Price
I must admit I was pleasantly surprised with the sound quality for the price. I bought a pair of Bose noise cancelling headphones about 7 years ago and they are brilliant. However, at the time, the were in excess of 320. Naturally these headphones are not as good as my Bose ones but they are very good for the price. I’m no expert but they sound pretty crisp to me, with fairly decent base. Noise cancelling is adequate and difinitely makes a noted difference. I can’t comment on battery life as I have only had them a couple of days. If you are looking for a decent wireless headset at a very reasonable price then I would recommend these.
Under 50 pound alternatives to skull candy
Nice sturdy alternative to my skullcandy headphones for under 50 pounds ,not what I was expecting from these hefty headphones great bass ,though not so good on anc ,though they are foldable ,easy to connect to a android phone and once paired they will connect straight away to your linked devices, however they don’t come with a equaliser app which the newer i version dose but for the price carnt mock them ,they say that these are a good as the more expensive brands like beats or Sony, that I cannot say ,but they are comfortable to ware for long periods, very pleased with this purchase
Impressive for the price
Brought these for my wife since she can’t use earphones due to earings inside the ear. When I tried them they felt good and comfortable. Tried the Boise canceling mode and works as it should. They aren’t too heavy and don’t slip around. The buttons are in good places. They are loud enough to enjoy music and have good bass.
Top notch
Look great and feel well made. Very well cushioned with memory foam cups and headband. Sound quality is very good and noise cancelling whilst using Bluetooth is seamless and of a good quality. Bluetooth was easy to sync to Samsung TV and separately an android based smart phone. Comfortable/quality/good battery life/good Audio quality/foldability/adjustable .. One grope is charge port is micro usb instead of more appealing type c
Bought these to replace my ear buds as they were getting uncomfortable when wearing for long periods. These headphones are Bluetooth and noise cancelling. Don’t get me wrong, these aren’t Bose or senheiser, but the sound quality is decent enough and certainly sounds better than you would expect from a sub 30 set of headphones. Decent bass (with an option to enhance the bass with Ankers ‘BassUp’ technology), and the option to use them with or without the noise cancelling option (which should prolong the battery life). You can also use the headphones to answer calls, if you are connected to your phone, although I haven’t used this function yet. There are buttons on the bottom of the right side that enable you to play next track or last track on your playlist. Battery life is advertised as being around 40 hours. I can’t confirm this as I haven’t used them that long, however, I’ve used them for 4 or 5 hours and still have full charge. All in all, a high spec, multi function set of headphones, with decent sound quality at a fantastic price.
great quality for this price
i have looking for a both wire and wireless headphone for a long time, it’s not easy to find one nowadays, but this one does a good job. but the noise cancelation is useless, you still hear the surrounding even you turn it on
anyway i recommended this if you have limited budge
Bargain price, superb sound!
These are amazing! Have been looking for a fairly cheap pair of headphones, preferably wireless. I bought these in a sale for 29 and I’m delighted with them. They have a wonderfully clear, crisp sound with good bass (not overbearing like my previous pair of Sony’s). The high end sounds are crisp and clear and the bass is deep, rich and punchy. The headphones themselves are light too but not flimsy. Would recommend these to others (think my other half wants a pair now).
I bought these after reading some other reviews as I was looking for some inexpensive over ear wireless headphones for my fiancee to make sure she liked the style before she bought herself a more expensive and feminine pair. The sound is really good, the ear cups are comfortable and they are nice and light and well made.
The only negative (and this is very slight) is that the soft case is a bit plasticity but at this price point to get anything is impressive.
I would Imagine that these headphones would compare well to most 100 headphones.
I have more expensive pairs by sennheiser and akg but would be happy to use these as my main headphones.
I bought this pair of headphones to wear at home and give my AirPods Pro a rest. I needed the headphones to have ANC noise cancelling to make me not default to my AirPods Pro. I was amazed by the quality of these headphones, considering their price. The noise cancelling is right on point. Sound quality is very decent – I am no audiophile, so if you’re very picky you might not be a fan. But personally, I have no complains. Have not had any problems with the battery so far – they have not died on me yet.
Cons: they charge via microUSB, which is annoying since most my devices charge via USB C. Also, the volume is slightly low. I have a volume cap on my phone and I find myself needing to deactivate it when wearing these headphones. With the cap off, the volume is more than OK.
I went to stay in countryside and forgot my headphones, nobody was available to get me mine from my apartment, so I just bought these cheap ones as stand ins. I then almost returned them thinking I’d manage without but in the end kept them. Only to become quite addicted to them, they are better sound and noise cancellation than my other ones which cost double the price! I like the sound a lot, base but not so base-ish like so many other headphones these days the other levels of sound are unclear. And the noise cancellation is good for price. I also find the are decently comfortable, and I am hypersensitive to things touching my skin so picky, but for me these headphones are more bearable than others I’d tried. The battery doesn’t last as long as my other headphones, that’s my only gripe. Anyway for the price they are great, I would say they compete with headphones that cost up to 150. Gonna now sell my others :).
Impressive sound quality and noise reductio
These are the first noise cancelling headphones I’ve bought and I’m very pleased with them.
I got them mainly for our summer holiday flights so didn’t want to spend a fortune and with the q20’s on offer at the time I bought it was a no brainer.
I am very impressed with the sound quality and the noise reduction – makes watching films or listening to music on the plane so much better. I would say they easjly block 90-95% of sounds on the plane: a couple of times I could vaguely hear that there were announcements being made, but couldn’t make out the words. When you take them off your head on the plane and the noise hits you again, you really know what a good job they are doing.
Soundwise, I prefer them with the noise cancelling turned on as it reduces the bass. If you like the heavier bass though, the bass boost feature is available.
They were also very comfortable – it was only a 2 and half hour flight, but I kept them on the whole time with no problems. I’m not sure about the fit for children though as I’ve got them on smallest head band position – a smaller head than mine and they wouldn’t fit.
I’ve used them at home in the garden as well and they do a great job of blocking road noise and the neighbours lawn mower.
Battery life seems very good, I’ve only had to charge once since having them.
The control buttons are in logical positions and so make sense when using – obviously I didn’t read the manual first before trying them, but could just put on and use.
I also chose the q20’s over the other Anker headphones because of the appearance – I didn’t like the large gold or silver logos on the q30 and q40 whereas these are plain black.
If I were able to buy again I would go for the q20i version just to get the usb-c charging port, app support and multilink pairing which the basic q20 doesn’t have.
In conclusion though: very happy with them and well worth the money!
Good performance at this price poi
I’ve used these regularly for a few weeks now and must say i am impressed. Sound is good, Bluetooth reliable, battery life all good and they are light and easy enough to use. I have tried more expensive noise-cancelling headphones and been disappointed – so i was surprised and pleased when these worked so well.
Excelle
Bought these because an old set of JVC headphones would not pair with an “old” smartphone (whatever resets etc I tried) which I wanted to use an MP3 player.
The headphones also needed to be relatively compact so that they could fit in my holiday, take on plane backpack.
Chose Anker because I have been very pleased with the Anker Soundcore Mini I bought a few years ago.
Anyway, the Anker Q20, paired up with no problem with all my Bluetooth products. They are also compact enough, when folded for my backpack requirements. The sound for me is brilliant. I prefer the normal sound setting, to the default noise cancelling. More bass, that suits my ears better.
I’m no audiophile, and maybe my hearing isn’t 100%, but I cannot think why a 300 set of headphones would sound any better for me.
For me, they are also very comfortable.
A good buy for me.
Excellent headphone. Great battery life and ANC.
I’ve used this Headphone for few months now and it’s been fantastic. I can zone in to my work and ignore everyone in the house lol. It’s great for having some good music on and forgetting tue outside world. So far the battery life has been really good (around 20-25 hours with the ANC on) and Bluetooth connection is solid, I haven’t experience any spotty connections so far. I don’t necessarily walk around the house with it on but when I have it kept the connection going. I used the microphone couple of times on meetings and voice is crisp. All around great headphone for working from home time to time. Highly recommended.
passed the sweat test!
got these babies soaked in the gym every morning early workputs and they block out the crappy music pure gym play and all the noise from the classes being held just given them a wipe down with anti bac spray after good to go
Pretty good for price
These do actually reduce the noise pretty well. I’ve used them in noisy airports/planes.
When used in conjunction with earplugs they actually reduce loud snoring from partner to acceptable level to sleep .
I wasn’t really sure what to expect from these so called “budget” headphones. I already own a pair of JBL Live 650BTNC headphones – which cost 120 when new. So the benchmark was quite high. I needed an extra pair at work. I work in a busy shared office – so wanted the noise cancelling feature – but without spending a fortune. After reading lots of reviews the Anker Q20 came out as top choice, with 58K reviews on Amazon alone. At 36 – I thought its a low risk since I can always return the item if I’m not happy with it.
Once I received it, I opened the box – it was well packaged. Its fairy light with good soft padding and all the buttons are in the usual places. The muffs fit comfortably over the ears without too much pressure. I managed to pair it instantly to my Mac via bluetooth – but it took a bit more fidgeting on my work PC which runs Windows 11. So…the real question is how good is the sound?
I need not have worried. The sound is much, MUCH better than I had expected. Its rich, warm, fairly crisp and slightly bass-heavy at the default settings. So if you like bass – you’re in for a treat. Guitar and drum sounds are loud and there is a noticeable, audible boom on the drums. Vocals are not quite in your face – they seem to be ever so slightly in the background. Classical music works really well too – very clean. Flute sonatas sound scarily realistic – it feels like the flute is being played right next to you. If you listen to Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor, the deep organ sound reverbs through your head!
The noise cancelling is reasonably effective. It blocks out background office chatter and traffic noise from outside.
There is not much else to say – except that for the money, you get a VERY good pair of headphones. The Q20 may not be “up there” with the big boys if you’re a picky audiophile – but if you want a pair of very good headphones for using at work – these actually exceed expectation.
Great for the money. Only 1 negative.
ANC doesn’t exactly blow my mind if I’m completely honest with you. It makes a slight difference, as I’ve tested it on and off. But I wouldn’t say it’s a defining feature of the headphones. That doesn’t mean that these headphones don’t drown out background noise. I would actually say that it does an exceptional job of it. But from what I can tell, the ANC doesn’t make that huge of a difference.
I’m very impressed with the quality of phone calls I’ve had using these headphones. Before I got these, I was using Earfun pros, and the phone calls never worked, even when they were fresh out of the box. There’s no delay, you can hear the other person’s voice nice and clear, and if I were to guess so can they, as no one has complained about noise quality from their end. So I’m very happy with this feature.
Overall, Very comfortable and affordable headphones. Battery life is exceptional. I’ve been using them now for about 2 weeks, and that’s off of one charge. I use them most mornings when working. Everything about them is what I would look for in headphones. I can’t attest to the sturdiness, or life span. However, I would say that I wouldn’t want to drop them on the floor, as they don’t feel like the most indestructible things ever. That would be my only negative. And maybe a better quality carrying case,, as the one it comes with is pretty lame.. The sound and over all comfort of these are of good quality. If you’re in a tight budget, and need something quick, I’d highly recommend these. If you’re someone who has a bit more money to throw around, then get a more expensive brand that has the potential to last longer.
Only let down by it's newer model being better value
Excellent value headphone but the Q20 lacks the multipoint Bluetooth, phone app and usb-c charging of the newer Q20i. When both of these models are roughly the same price 40 then always but the Q20i, will keep these as backups.
Awesome Purchase
I really like the soundcore by Anker Q20 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones. I feel great over my ears and sound is awesome. One thing I don’t like is not easily discoverable via Bluetooth, else it’s PERFECT!
Hi, I work outside as a groundsman. So I need a pair of headphones that stands up to wear and tear has a good battery life and I can hear over my loud mower. Five stars on all of the above plus the battery life is amazing. The Bluetooth connection is so good it’s a pain. The headphones can be at the other end of the house or in my truck and there still connected. The best pair of headphones for work use I own in fact their so good I have two pairs.
Unreal value for money
Sound quality and noise cancellation are amazing on these earphones. Used on an aeroplane, in a busy airport and whilst on holiday. Absolutely blown away by the value. I searched and searched for a pair of headphones, across all of the top brands, and went for these on a bit of a whim because I have had other products from this brand. I’m so glad that I did because they are so good.
Only use these when we travel on planes and this set was to replace my previous ones. The sound reduction quality to get rid of the engine noise is great. No more headaches or yuk feeling when on long flights from the droning engine noise. Also good quality sound when connected to the inflight entertainment. Will probably buy this again if and when my wife’s current set need replacing. Would be nicer if there came with a hard case but they for great in the case we already had.
Bluetooth Adaptor Failure
Product has worked fine for 10 months and that is not constant use, but the Bluetooth Radio adaptor has been plugged into a computer for that time and it is that item that has failed, therefore the headphones are no longer of any use.
If you are after a decent set of budget noise cancelling headphones, these are fab – battery life is good, sound quality is ok, and the noise cancelling is very good. You dont have to pay loads of money out for somthing that works well sometimes, these are a decent purchase for a commuter or frequent flyer – i gave these to my son who likes music, and he couldnt hear me talking to him at all which shows how good they are for noise cancelling.
I bought these over 2 years ago and they’ve served me very well. These are some of the only over-ear headphones that fit securely on my small head. The sound quality is great and the noise-cancelling works really well.
I had an issue early on where they would randomly disconnect (a couple times a month) from my computer Bluetooth, but that somehow resolved itself. Since then they’ve been great and they have only recently shown signs of wear and tear as the cheap fake leather is rubbing off the cups. It’s a shame but I do use these most days so they have seen a lot of use.
They are very competitively priced for Bluetooth headphones of this quality and hold up to a lot of the more expensive models in my opinio
Lovely sound
These have exceeded my expectations as i compare them to my beats by dre studio 3 headphones which i use for best.
Id say that 1. Amazon locker service is incredibly easy and super convenient
2. These head phones are exceptional value and are a tiny price compared to beats headphones Bose and alike.
If you’re on a budget these would without doubt be my go to purchase.
They feel excellent quality, id say the steel band that you see when adjusting the head band is the only cheap sign but overall for sound and comfort and noise cancellation these are an excellent choice!
Amazon locker is an absolute no brainer if you have one near by so give it a go this is my 3rd time using and to pick up when i want is soooo convenie
I bought these headphones last week because I was so sick of the sound of the jet washer going on outside my flat all day long..
I’m using them connected to the tv and I have to say that the noise cancelling is pretty impressive.
I’m currently wearing them while watching you tube and I had to take them off my ears to see if the really irritating lawn mower was still going on and it is!
So for 39.99 I really can’t complain. They do exactly what I wanted them to do.
I do think they’re comfortable – I’ve managed to fall asleep in them on more than one occasion.
They’re not very attractive though. I don’t think I’ll be popping out to Tesco in them!
They’re also good for phone calls. And have a decent range away from my phone. They seem better connected on phone calls than when I’m connected to the tv.
I find if I’m washing up in the kitchen they lag a bit when listening to the tv.. but haven’t had that happen while connected on a phone call.
Battery life seems great.
If you need a pair of inexpensive noise cancelling headphones, these seem like a really good option in my opinion.
A good, Cheaper alternative to the Big Name (you know the one!)
Very impressed with the noise cancelling and overall sound. I have noticed a low-level hiss or ‘brown noise’ in a silent room with no audio playing—also a slight ‘pumping’ sub-base noise.
Spare ear-pads are available; I got myself a set just in case the product life isn’t that long.
Good produc
Very quick and easy initial setup using the app from downloads. The printed instructions are great once you understand them. No words, just illustrations. I found it very difficult to get a connection between my iPad and the headphones. After struggling for a couple of days I realised that I had the headphones with the cups facing each other. The illustration shows them (page 4) side by side. As soon as I laid them down that way connection was instant! Bluetooth connection is also instant when the cups are side by side. Therefore the instructions might be improved by an extra illustration showing them with cups together and a big X over them!
Sound quality is excellent for me (I wear hearing aids); the cups are very comfortable having room inside them for all of my ears; the spring pressure over the head is just right without being tight or loose; solid construction; not noticeably heavy. I don’t really need noise cancellation so can’t comment; don’t use them long enough to run the battery down; not yet tried for telephone calls. I have a WiFi door bell and have been pleased to notice that my iPad/iPhone push the sound of that into the headphones.
Very much better than the ear pods that I have replaced.
Surprisingly very good
I’ve had bose ones before but wanted wireless ones ..can’t actually fault these bass very good , general sound very good ..easy to set up noise cancellation good got them for 40 pound in Amazon sale ..pleased all round
Great sound
Have purchased these headphones to use on a night flight hoping to help me sleep by cancelling noise! Using headphones around the house am well impressed with sound quality and comfort of phones on head. Hopefully they do trick on fligh
I own a couple of B&O Beoplay headphones, but I wanted a cheap pair that I didn’t have to be so precious about. Having also just bought a TV with Bluetooth connectivity, I wanted a less sophisticated set of headphones that was more generous with bass levels than the refined B&Os, so that I could watch films at a decent volume and oomph, without upsetting the neighbours.
After doing some online research, I decided to try out the Q20s, especially as they were on offer for 40. I had pretty low expectations from a cheap pair of cans but, wow. These sound great, regardless of price. The bass, although deep and pronounced, is not out of control and doesn’t swamp the mids and highs. The soundstage isn’t as wide as on headphones costing 10x the price, but they’re not bad either.
Having used them watching TV, as well as listening to music on the go, the Bluetooth connection hasn’t dropped once. As for noise-cancelling? I’ve never liked the feature as the audio quality dips significantly, even on higher-end headphones.
The Q20s also, hilariously, have a ‘bass-boost’ function. This is probably aimed at teenagers who want the loudest, most over-the-top bass, but it’s borderline painful (I watched a Star Wars action sequence and it felt like my brain was shaking).
Another massive plus point is that these work as wired headphones too and, unlike a good number of expensive models, work without having to switch them on (you lose the noise-cancelling and brain-rattling features though).
The positives are: very impressive sound, excellent Bluetooth and wired connectivity, long battery life and light.
Where could these be improved? Well, they look ugly and cheap. Absolutely fine for home use, but you won’t get many admiring glances being out and about (maybe that’s a good thing, being a deterant to thieves?). That being said, such is the sheer enjoyment of listening to music on these, I still wear these on public transport.
I really do hope that they spend time and money in the look and build of these headphones because I would gladly pay double the price for something that looks and feels more premium.
Despite the looks, these are amazing value headphones. Highly recommended.
This is my second pai
I absolutely love them, I have sensory issues and they really help to dull out background noise, although this is my second pair that I’ve ordered and they both have the same problem: after about 3 months they have stopped charging. I’ve used different cables and left them charging for hours but there is nothing I can do. They are still usable, because they have the wire bur the Bluetooth and noise cancelling won’t work when they’re not charged
Very impressed
I bought these to help me concentrate with work and try to filter out external sounds. I wasn’t sure how well it would work given the price but I’ve been very impressed so far. They’re comfortable to wear, the sound quality is great and the noise cancelling works very well. The battery also seems to last much longer than previous Bluetooth headphones that I’ve owned.
Bought these headphones to use on a 16 hour flight and wanted something that was Bluetooth, 3.5mm jack and noise cancelling. Super comfy on the plane and the supplied 3.5mm cable worked a treat (some airplanes require a 2 pin adapter though) the noise cancelling worked amazing and I could even hear the engines! The battery life is super impressive as well!
Great value headphones with excellent bass
These headphones are great value. Very comfortable and great sound, especially bass. There is the ability to increase the bass, should you wish to do that.
The noise cancellation is good too, but I haven’t yet been on a plane to test it properly. I have only had these for a couple of weeks but so far they are durable.
If you’re looking for a good value set of headphones with a decent bass then you should plump for one of these.
So Good
Love my new headphones, very comfortable either Bluetooth or corded. Sit really nicely over my whole ear, the sound is superb. A right bargain as 10.00 off when I purchased mine. My husband has the much more expensive model and highly recommended these to me, got the cheaper version as mainly used when watching television.
Very pleased with these headphones. They come with a handy pouch and can be folded and put away which is handy. It also comes with a charge cable and a 3.5mm jack cable for wired used but the Bluetooth works perfectly.
Very quick to set up with handy buttons to change volume, pause, answer calls and turn off/on the noise cancelling feature.
Sound quality is very good. Sometimes I prefer to switch off the noise cancelling as it tends to generate more punchy and bassy sounds but it’s not bad with it on, and very handy to drown out background chatter.
It feels quite comfortable and can be adjusted and sits on my ears quite nicely. The only slight issue I found is that it tends to get a bit sweaty as it covers my ears fully. Maybe that’s just me though. I can see that more sweat may damage the padding at some point but after a month or so of regular use, they’re still good.
Comfy & great sound
These were recommended by my daughter in law & they do not disappoint. I’ve only used them a couple of times so far but they have very good sound quality & are comfy to wear. For the price point you can’t go wrong
Brilliant sound
The sound is brilliant – lovely thumping base that can even be increased readily. It takes a little while to get used to operating the controls when the phones are on your head but that’s not a problem. The only downside is the noise reduction is minimal or not working at all. It seems to reduce volume when on, causing a need to increase the volume setting which then, hopefully, drowns out external noise except it doesn’t. However, I don’t have a need for the noise reduction, and as I’m so pleased otherwise with the performance I haven’t gone through the hassle of returning them. If noise reduction is important be aware it may not work as well as you would like.
Excellent value for money
These cans are light and comfortable to wear for a prolonged period. Sound quality is well balanced and they seem quite robust. They’re probably technically not as good as a 300 pair but most people (including me) will find they do the job really well.
Godsend for those with noisy housemates!
I’ve only received these today and been using them for a few hours, but holy heck are they worth it.
I live with someone who has the TV that loud it’s physically painful to be in the same room at times and these magical headphones have taken that noise down to barely a whisper! Wish I’d brought a set sooner!
Needed a set of wireless headphones, I didn’t want to pay top dollar for them as I only wanted them primarily for listening to audio books, found these listed on Amazon and checked out the reviews (mostly positive) so thought I would give them a try, great clear sound and the noise cancelling feature is an added bonus, they are comfortable to wear for prolonged use, the price is a bargain and I’m sure there are better quality sounding headphones out there but at a considerably higher price. I’m more than happy with my purchase and would recommend these to others to at least try.
I’ve only just had these “cans” in the past couple of days and so far I like what I’m hearing. I’ve paired mine with a monster audio cable and the sound,volume and power of these headphones are decent. True I’m not a massive audiophile and so far I haven’t used them for extended periods of time, however, comfort,fit and pressure on the head all seem ok. The sound isn’t quite as crisp as my all time favourite Monster Octagon headphones,but,for the price they’re not so far away. If you want some headphones without all the bells and whistles, but,with a decent audio experience, these are worth considering.
Love it.
Really good product for a great price. Comfortable on the ear and great sound.
Best headphones I have ever had, highly recommend
Liked that the deep bass is excellent and does not affect the mid and high eq
Great headphones.
They are great headphones for the price. My only advice would be to really look after them and keep them in a hard case when not in use.
Fantastic noise cancellation and sound quality
Battery life is pretty good but the sound/noise cancellation quality is unparalleled. I’ve shopped around a while for a good set of headphones for use during a noisy commute and these are second to none.
Wow, really impressed
Brought these to use at work, had been buying cheaper ones and ended up breaking them. Thought would give these a go.. wow really impressed by these. Easy to connect to bluetooth. Really good sound quality and noise cancelling
As I use headphones to listen to podcasts, make calls, watch movies & YouTube content, I didn’t need expensive headphones. However, I have been very pleasantly surprised. The noise cancelling is better than I expected. I can comfortably listen to podcasts in situations where, previously, background noise would have forced me to stop listening. Sound quality is good with a secure Bluetooth connection that remain connected. Call quality has also been impressive (as long as I remain close to the phone) and the charge seems to last forever. Despite being at the cheaper end of the market, Anker Q35 headphones have turned out to be perfect for my needs.
