Hi-Res Audio: Custom oversized 40 mm dynamic drivers produce Hi-Res sound. Life Q20 active noise canceling headphones reproduce music with extended high frequencies that reach up to 40 kHz for extraordinary clarity and detail.
Reduce Ambient Noises By Up to 90%: Our team of engineers conducted more than 100,000 tests in real-life scenarios to fine-tune Life Q20’s 4 built-in ANC microphones and digital active noise cancellation algorithm. As a result, the hybrid active noise cancellation can detect and cancel out a wider range of low and mid-frequency noises such as cars and airplane engines.
100% Stronger Bass: Our exclusive BassUp technology conducts real-time analysis of the low frequencies to instantly strengthen the bass output. Double press the play button when listening to bass-heavy genres like EDM and hip-hop for an amplified listening experience.
60-Hour Playtime*: Up to 40 hours of non-stop playtime in wireless active noise cancellation mode (at 60% volume) is extended to an enormous 60 hours in standard music mode. A single charge gives you enough juice to listen to over 600 songs or soundtrack multiple long haul flights. And when you’re in a rush, charge Life Q20 active noise canceling headphones for 5 minutes and get 4 hours of listening.

Tecnicamente, é um excelente produto com graves bem equilibrados e som bem cristalino. Mas comprei o fone para tentar eliminar o barulho de uma obra vizinha. O Noise Cancelling dele é muito bom, apesar do quase imperceptível white noise. Deixa um pouco de ruído se usar muito baixo, mas resolveu o problema de barulho externo. Almofadas confortáveis que cobrem toda a orelha e isso ajuda mais ainda. O acabamento é bom, nada excepcional, mas cumpre a função. Comandos externos de fácil acesso e a bateria duuuuura longas 40 horas (sem NC). Valeu cada centavo!

I saw these on a Today’s Deal sale, and like a drug addict that likes hopscotch, I busted out the chalk sidewalk and started researching.
Everyone loves these headphones. Your mom will love these headphones. They are not $300 Bose ANC headphones. (ANC stands for Always Be Closing. Sit Down. Coffee is for closers.) But they are 80-90% as good as Bose Active Noise Cancelling headphones at 1/5 the cost. You’ll need to ask your kid or younger brother to help with that Algebra, but let’s just say x = incredible value.
Apparently Soundcore is an Anker company. This isn’t obvious in some of the reviews you will undoubtedly read while on the toilet. But it’s Anker made. Who hasn’t had great experience with Anker stuff? Your purchase history here on Amazon already has 14 Anker purchases. This won’t be your first or your last Anker purchase. Aside from making you feel dumb with your friends because no one can agree how to pronounce the “a” in Anker, their products are solid performers at a good price.
And that’s how I’d describe these headphones – like a really nice Honda amongst Acura, Lexus, etc. Or a really good TV dinner where they get the cheese right. These Soundcores are not beautiful. They won’t help you get the girl (or the guy. or the cute non-binary person you saw Wednesday). But they absolutely will make you feel glad you bought them.
They are solid in the hand, if a little cheap feeling – but only next to high end headphones. They aren’t flimsy by any stretch (do not try to stretch them). The plastic is thick and has a matte finish. The headband adjustment is solid – easy to move and stays in place once set. Comfort is excellent. The earphone cushions are buttery soft (and not all greasy like butter. That would be gross. Butter on your ears sucks.) The soft ear cushions make a great seal on your ears and don’t hurt after wearing for hours, even with glasses.
Some reviewes mention that these headphones can get a little sweaty. That does not mean the headphones themselves. These headphones produce almost zero perspiration themselves. But they may make your head/ears/ear area sweat. Because of the great seal made by the cushions, and due to the material being all natural vinyl or something, it can make things a little warm after an hour. But if you’re sitting at the bus stop in this humid heat, your ears are gonna sweat. At least these headphones will protect your ears from the loud noises of the bus and the other people at the bus stop who won’t stop talking about Sammy and why he took off. You don’t need to hear that story again. Poor Sammy.
The ANC (not the chain of movie theaters) is good. For headphones at this price, the noise cancelling is excellent. So I guess that means the noise cancelling is excellent. At this price. These aren’t high end Bose, dum-dum. These will remove a lot of exterior sound like a droning fan, dogs barking, a baby crying, a spouse asking you to do something, a police officer telling you that you can’t lie here, a drive through operator asking you want you want over and over and over.
I haven’t tried these on a plane yet. But I will. If I say I’ll come back and update this review after using them on a plane, that would feel disengenuous, because we both know that’s not going to happen. I feel like there is a modicum of trust and intimacy established at this point, and I don’t want to harm that. So let’s just agree to disagree, OK? I bet these will be great on a plane.
Sound is really really good. I won’t say excellent because you might like artificially enhanced Beats-like bass response, and if you do, trying to explain what “subjective” means will take too long. I’m kidding. If you really like a bunch of bass, that doesn’t mean you are stupid. I don’t think calling someone stupid is OK. You just have terrible taste and judgment and probably only give 40% effort at everything.
These sound clear and crisp. Bass response is good without being overbearing. (for those who really like heavy bass, that has nothing to do with bears).
Sound is great. Really great. Way better than those earbuds you’ve been using that start to feel uncomfortable after 45 minutes. Go on, take the plunge. I promise you will happy with your purchase and grateful to me and then we can be friends. You will love these headphones. Later, you will learn to love me.
I can tell you are losing interest. I know that look. I’ll wrap this up. Buy these headphones. You won’t be disappointed. Get a cheap hard case. I found one on Amazon for around $9. Now you have noise cancelling g headphones that sound great, fit great, last a very long time on a single charge, and you’ll invest way under $100 all in. You will be the envy of your friends. Or at least your friends’ ears.

TL;DR — these are the best noise canceling headphones, and they perform at or above the level of more expensive headphones. I tried the newer Q30 version and switched back to these Q20s due to the better performance.
I bought these about a year ago, and I’ve loved them. The noise cancellation is excellent–my sister was showing me the noise cancellation on her new AirPods Max and it was comparable these Q20s. I get easily overwhelmed by lots of noise, so the noise canceling feature was the most important to me when selecting headphones. I use these to block out my husband watching TV, dogs barking, neighbors blasting music in my apartment building, people talking loudly on airplanes, etc. They are excellent, and I can wear them for several hours before my ears start to get a little sore. The battery life on the headphones is also really good. I’m not a huge audiophile so I can’t really tell you if the sound quality is as good as more expensive headphones, but I have no complaints about the sound when I’m listening to music.
The only thing I don’t like about these headphones is that I can only connect to one device at a time. If I’m using them for my laptop and I get a call on my phone, I can’t take the call on my headset without manually switching the bluetooth connection over. This bothered me enough to try the newer Q30 headphones, which can connect to two devices simultaneously and also have a little feature that switches from noise cancellation mode to transparency mode when you tap the right earphone. After a couple weeks of trying them out, I am returning the Q30s and going back to my Q20s. The newer headphones had less effective noise cancellation, and I would occasionally get a sharp piercing sound in my ear through the headphones that was a little painful. Some of this could be the shape of my ears or whatever, but I found the Q20s to be more comfortable with better noise cancellation, and a much better price point. I can live with the minor inconvenience of the single bluetooth connection in exchange for better noise cancelation.

I’ve had these Soundcore Anker LQ20 headphones for a year and have been using them heavily the entire time. They’re still going strong and I love them. They’re comfortable and the noise cancellation is good. I work from home as a transcriptionist, and I use them for a few hours to several hours a day. They do a good job of blocking or significantly reducing background noises like TV, a noisy AC, lawn mowers, and nearby semi-loud voices. If you use the button to turn off the active noise canceling feature, you’ll hear the difference right away.
This pair was my first time trying bluetooth headphones for transcribing. I wasn’t sure if the sound quality would be as good as wired headphones/good enough for me to accurately transcribe all speech from the audio files I work with, including ones with difficult audio, and I also wondered if there would be any issues with the bluetooth connection being spotty or something. They have worked perfectly and I find them to be very good transcription headphones.
I have to charge them fairly often since I use them so much, but I think they have at least average battery life between charges. I usually charge as soon as I notice the voice says “Battery medium” at startup because I’ve learned they’ll probably run out in the middle of my work session if I try to wait until it says “Battery low.” I don’t think I’ve ever even heard “Battery low.”
Great headphones, reasonable price, no complaints.

Son muy buenos audífonos por el precio! Buena cancelación de ruido, aún si no está activada aislan muy bien el sonido, para nada incómodos, los he tenido puestos por más de 2 horas y no me duele la cabeza – son algo grandes para mí, entonces se deslizan constantemente, pero nada que una diadema no pueda arreglar.
La música se escucha clara y los bajos son satisfactorios, aunque tiene un botón para aumentarlos siento que opaca la musica, entonces no activo la función. Son mis primeros audífonos over ear y estoy muy satisfecha, son una muy buena opción por el precio!!
