These things sound great, they wont disappoint in the bass department. They do a really good job at reproducing the mid and high range frequencies. The battery lasts very long and offers usb type c charging. Bluetooth range and quality seem to be a non issue as well. You can also connect via 3.5mm aux cable for hardwired listening. The left side ear cup houses a power button, type c port and noise control button which allows you to switch between noise cancellation and transparency modes, the right side house the volume control buttons as well as play/pause button and aux port. They also fold!

The appearance of these headphones was rather timely for me: on account of a motorcycle crash I suffered a few months back, I've been on the mend, and due to shuttling back-and-forth between hospital and rehab, the one thing I knew I'd want is a decent pair of over-ear NC headphones, and after some brief but concentrated research I chose the Soundcore 'phones. Rather than being a tough choice, in my case it was easy: between my two hi-fi systems at home, I *already* own two pair of terrific wired 'phones which I'd put up against the priciest Bluetooth 'phones in regard to sound quality, so all I was looking for in a BT 'phone was simply good sound quality, but *seriously* good noise-cancelling and solid battery life, and the Soundcores seriously kick butt here. In fact, as Bluetooth cans go, I don't think the Soundcores take a back-seat to anyone else atcthe moment, particularly if you take the time to tweak the frequency curve (the HearID control in the Soundcore app makes creating a custom curve easy) and activate LDAC for higher resolution- the very fact that you have these options at your disposal should be proof enough if what you're getting here. My take is that if these were going to be your Main Axe headphones for all your serious listening, then maybe (JUST maube) spending the extra bucks for something like Sony's XM4/5 or the like is the right choice; for me, I follow the philosophy of "the perfect is the enemy of the good", and made my choice appropriately. And I'm pretty darned happy. Highly recommended.

Do not be mistaken, these headphones are the most impressive in the lineup, behind the AirPods Max in my opinion. They are better than the Sony XM4! They have amazing sound, of course, but here's the thing, only the AirPods Max and Anker Q45 have brilliantly clear transparency modes, which matter a lot to me. But guess what.. here's a shocker... The Anker Q45s are more comfortable than the AirPods Max! My only issue with them are the fact that they do not turn off the videos or music you are listening to when you remove the headphones, but it's not that big of a deal. They also seamlessly switch between devices when audio starts playing on different ones they are paired with, which is another huge win for these. As for me, I bought a set of AirPods Max for the transparancy mode as they are slightly better, but I am surprised at how much I like the Anker Q45. For $99.99, I find them worth keeping around as a second pair. Keep in mind, the AirPods are 5.5x more expensive. If you want the best headphones for a fraction of the cost of the AirPods, it's no contest, this is it. Forgot to mention, I also bought the Sony XM4s on sale but I am returning those. Final note, the travel case these come in are okay, but not better than Sony one.

I have AirPods Pro. I bought this for my girlfriend but now I want this for myself. They are a lot more comfortable and reliable. Great sound too. I feel that if I get them for myself I’m going to stop using the AirPods. I prefer this.

The Soundcore Q45's are great for the price- they come with almost everything you could ask for, even including a premium carrying case! The noise cancelling on them is great, and it also comes with transparency mode. Transparency is particularly useful in quiet places, like the library, which keeps you aware of how much sound you are making. This transparency mode is not convenient if you're trying to have a conversation with someone, though, even if no music is playing. This is simply because the transparency mode doesn't fully counteract how much the over-ear design shuts out outside sound. I would recommend these as a good entry-level purchase if you are starting college soon, or taking studying more seriously. If you like to listen to music while studying, these are perfect for you. The battery life is one of its biggest strengths, as well as the fact that they fold pretty well, making them very portable! I am rating them four stars, only because they aren't great for outdoor use (walks and such). They are too "sealing" around your ears and simply aren't comfortable after a short while. This is a no-brainer for me, but do not consider purchasing these for running or the gym. There are better options out there for activities like that (maybe in-ear?). Overall: not as versatile as I would've liked, but great for indoor use + good price. Great battery life too! (I haven't had to charge them more than 10 times since I got it half a year ago.) Lastly, very premium (albeit a bit soft) case is included. Highly recommend!
