Anker - Soundcore Q20i Plus Over-the-Ear Bluetooth Wireless & Wired Headphones - White

I wish I could give it 4.5 stars, I think that would be the more apt rating here! I've never had noise cancelling headphones before and these get the job done as well as I could expect! Voices still peak through but not enough for it to be an issue, especially if I'm also listening to something at the time. I got them with the intention of being able to study in my library cafe, and they work perfectly for that. The build is comfortable, I can wear them with my glasses on or my contacts in (the only issue is I can't push them half-off with my glasses on, but that isn't really the biggest problem as I can put them around my neck instead.) The soft top bit means it doesn't indent my hair either, and in my experience it doesn't cause friction or bed-head (headphone-head?) either. The speakers can also rotate in two different directions (included in pictures), creating easy storage in bags or for travel if you aren't a fan of wearing the headphones around your neck. Battery life is outstanding! Came half charged and lasted over a day and a half. When charged to full it can last nearly three days of regular use for music. I've even slept with them on and woken up with remaining charge. BT connection was easy, and I love that it easily connects to two devices. However the transition between devices for audio isn't always fluid, and sometimes winds up being connected to both but receiving audio from neither. I've found the easiest remedy to this problem is simply powering off and on again (to nobody's surprise). I also decorated mine with some stickers and a paint pen. Everything has held on, I did need to use a glue-stick for the stickers on the soft part of the top, but overall the decorate-ability of these is outstanding - if that is something you are concerned about. My only issue with them, which may be a more personal issue, is that the "extension" on the right side is a little loose and it will often extend simply when I pick them up. On the other hand, the left side takes a bit of a tug to move. On my head this is less of a problem, but sometimes I can notice it getting a little loose.

Good sound overall. Sturdy construction, yet lightweight and comfortable. Folds to be pretty compact, but still a set of cups. Bluetooth is a breeze to connect. USB-C wired/charging, plus an RCA jack option. Built-in microphone for calls/game chat (decent isolation). Noise-cancelling feature is robust, but will affect battery life, which is pretty good overall (full charge will net hours and hours of use). Cups are very comfortable, perfect for kids/adolescents, but on the medium side for adults. If looking for full coverage, it depends on your ear size. $40 on sale and worth every penny.

I bought for my Down Syndrome son for noise cancellation and to watch things on his IPad. He liked them but my other son who is 9 loves them so now I’m going to buy him his own. The best thing about these compared to others they have owned was volume. The volume is excellent!!!! Pros: noise cancellation, price, easy to charge, volume is great (most are so low it’s hard to hear), comfortable, easy to carry, easy to connect to your phone, iPad, or whatever device you use, battery life was another great thing-lasted for several hours. Cons: only thing I saw was bulky but they are headphones. They are gonna be bulky. Overall: this is a great buy. I do recommend these headphones.

My boyfriend was tired of the cables attached to his fancy headphones for gaming, music and watching videos in his mancave. The expensive earbuds he owns were also starting to hurt his ears after hours of use each day. He really wanted some quality bluetooth over ear headphones but we didn't currently have the budget for his dream headphones. I found these and even though he is a musician and audiophile, he is very impressed with their quality. We got them on sale for about $50 but he doesn't feel like they are $50 or even $80 headphones. The bass is pretty heavy, which he claims is a good thing, and they work perfectly for his purposes. He even goes on his walks with them on instead of his earbuds now. I'm sure he will happily upgrade to some more expensive ones once it's in the budget but for now he is very, very happy with these.

Waited for a month of using them to properly review these and I have to say they are better than expected. To start off, it comes with the headphones, auxiliary cord and a short USB-C cable to charge the headphones. Pros: The noise cancelling mode certainly makes a difference and is the best for listening overall. The normal mode was good as well. The headphones don’t move much when jogging. Although no bass boost option, they do certainly have enough bass and the quality of the music/videos is great. The battery life is almost endless. I’ve used them during a twelve hour shift almost continuously and they were around 80%. I was using them at about 60% volume which is another advantage. Max volume is what one might say too much. No need to max out the volume because it’s already loud as it is. As far as the Bluetooth distance, it’s much better than other competitors at its price. You could be a couple of meters away and still hear the music. Cons: Although they are good for jogging, the downside is that the sweat/water will eventually make its way through the speakers and affect the quality. This is expected from most headphones and it doesn’t affect it drastically. Noise does leak and others can hear what you’re listening to. Again, something that’s often expected. Transparency mode was not that great when it came to people talking. Though this isn’t my preferred mode from any headphones, it didn’t seem to do what it was made for. At least not in an efficient way. The charging cord is quite small and as most products, it doesn’t come with a power brick. Worth noting that it doesn’t come with a case either but it’s not really expected for the price. The headphones have more pros than cons and the pros certainly outweigh the cons so this is why they deserve a five star rating since they are affordable and pack a punch.
