Just bought two pairs of these and the ANC doesn't seem to work when they're in wired mode. The user guide confirms it. Since I'd like to use ANC on a plane when connected by cable to the inflight entertainment system, this makes them a bit useless and I'm surprised few others make mention of this.
I guess you are talking about connecting the headphones to the aux analog cable. Well usually people get them for BT connectivity. You could solve this by getting a small BT transmitter which will take the analog aux in and send it to the headphones via BT. This way they are still going to be wireless.
Thank you for this comment as I almost bought them too and this would be unpleasant surprise on the plane. This is a dealbreaker for me too. Some of these BT cans do not have AUX wired connection and even if they do older models (like Q20 without i) they have micro USB instead of USB C charging connector. But not having NC on AUX connection I did not find this info even on Soundcore web page and many reviewers don't mention it. Until planes start making their back seat entertainment systems with BT connectivity (probably never) this is actually very important feature.
@@Sherdil08 None, but I followed @TechTronic900 advice to try with a small BT transmitter and it worked. But before I explain what I've done at the end, let me say I emailed Soundcore about it and after a few back and forth emails they confirmed Q20i don't support ANC through AUX connectivity. They suggested models Q35 and Q45 as they support ANC on AUX connection. Then a bit more browsing on UA-cam and I found out some reviewers complain about quality of sound and ANC level drops on AUX connection compared to BT connection. I do have House Marley BT cans and they support ANC on AUX connection but they are too bulky for travelling and also quality of ANC is not the top notch and they drop the ANC level on AUX connection. I also have old Bose QC3 much smaller (not BT model) and from previous experience unless they are perfectly fit on my ears (very hard to achieve in uncomfortable position in economy seats) their ANC level can also drop. So, since I also have Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 pro buds, which have a very good ANC and seal for my ears, I decided to try these BT transmitters as suggested. First I got Essager BT5.3 adapter but it did not work. Did not realise this is a RX only model (Receiver, not transmitter). It doesn't work in right direction for me. It is designed for wired cans to connect let's say to the mobile phones without 3.5 input using BT connection. So none of the BT headphones would connect in BT mode. This adapter connect to the mobile phone perfectly and also has a micro SD card slot to listen to the music directly from it without the phone (also Volume control, play, stop and next song controls). Then I got UGREEN BT5.1 dual (2-in-1) adapter with the switch RX/TX so you can use it in both directions. First, my Marley cans would not connect at all. But then I tried my Liberty 3 pro and connected easely. Sound was good with minimal delay and ANC wasn't affected (obviously it I was using BT connection). Perfect solution. Also much more comfortable if I snooze off during the flight watching IFE. So, @TechTronic900 was right just have to be carefull what are you buying and I will go and get one spare with built in battery as this Ugreen model works only with USB power supply. Not a problem on the plane as most back seats usually all have USB power ports too on long haul flights, but there are some cheap adapters too with rechargeable battery. Hope this helps.
@@beograd07lol even a wired earphones should have atleast usb type c to power the anc mode. But goodluck finding one tho especially at this price range
Just bought these headphones. They are very light and comfortable. I wear glasses and they don't impede at all. The sound is very loud. The only issue for me is they seem very fragile. So if your clumsy and walk into walls, or fall of bikes get the duck tape at hand. I will use it for home use mainly. I have spend over £250 on some of the main brands and these headphone are worth every penny if your on a tight budget. Enjoy!!!
@@TechTronic9000 Thank you for replying. I have only used IEMs so far. And I do listen to for long sessions. So sound and comfort are my must. I have narrowed it down to Sennheiser HD 350BT, Sony Wh-Ch720N, and Edifier W820NB Plus. But choosing not to buy Edifier as I've seen no one talk about in my region. My only asks are best sound detailing and imaging in that price. And next is comfort, say continuously listening for 1.5h - 2h (outside and inside the house). I don't care about other features. I listen to Classical to Metal; from Folk to Sufi; I completely hate english Pop, and I definitely am not a basshead. I want to start listening to some clarity and see the soundstage (perhaps I'm asking for a lot in this price but I've only used $30USD IEMs so far, haha) from some decent headphone, then making the journey up with time.
I have boat 751 anc, it has broken from 3 parts and leather has came off, you can use it for 1 years in good condition. Sound is good and anc is just fine according to price.
@rumakundu q20 I is good, its been 3 weeks. Sound quality is good once you customise it and anc is much better than 751 anc and bass is awesome. You can adjust bass and treble as per your wish. Its OK but can't say about build quality as it has only been few weeks. It look sturdy but let's see how durable it is. One more thing you will get sweat near the cushion. So, leather will go in 1 or 1.5 year as they react with moisture or water.
They will not scratch so easily on the plastics. The ear cuffs are very soft along with the head padding. At this price category there aren't a lot of good options, so these might be a better option.
@@TechTronic9000 thanks a lot...i was researching about it since January... Since there wasn't many reviews about this headphones so it was preventing me from buying it
Sound is OK but the default settings use too much bass and makes the mediums and high not to sound good, you need to use . ANC works for general noise and will reduce it. You will still hear especially voices.
Hey man! A quick question: should I consider this for video editing. Like will i face latency even while using 3.5mm cable? Eagerly waiting for your reply/suggestion!
good review.. I am thinking of buying this one.. but I wear the headphones for 8-9 hours daily. will the ear cups be soft enough for this usage ? pls suggest.
I also sometimes wear headphones for an extended period of time, the padding is soft and they are comfortable. I also like them as they are over ear not on ear so they don't push on my ears so it makes them even more comfortable than other models.
I have the same question, im hesitating between theese 2 headphones. My main expectations are, it wont slide off my head while going for a run, has good anc, good battery life and good sound. Can someone help?
Hi, I use the 3.5mm audio jack cable, but it seems the microphone is not working, do I need to change the cable with 3 rings? or should I buy the cable that include external mic?
Not yet, they are still in great condition, they get about 2-4 hours usages about 5 days / week since my review. So they are doing well. I have also dropped them on the floor 2-3 times and didn't break yet.
I would appreciate if you can tell us, if there is any warranty on this product because I checked on Amazon and they said there is no warranty mentioned for this particular model so, I would have to check that with brand only however, I checked on internet that ok every product of Soundcore there is an 18 month warranty so, kindly let us know for this product if there is any warranty or any warranty card or something comes with it, thankyou
Excellent review, Sir!! The way you did it, even if you shared your personal preference and thoughts on its sound quality, I wouldn't have doubted it a single bit. That said, I'm really just looking for a simple over ear headphones with a flat sound. I was never a fan of the heavily marketed bass boost for headphones that's been going on forever. With the simple flat EQ on the app, will it really sound flat and not boomy/bassy?
Gotta say, the earpads don't wear down as fast as I thought. The only complaint I have is the quality of the plastic frame, it kinda creeks and cracks when I grab them a thing that didn't happen with other headphones. Overall great. Would recommend
Just bought one of these and way better ANC than my old JBL Tune 750btnc, they actually block almost everything around me, and also bigger cups just perfect for my ears. The JBL's sat on my ears these fit just around. Also the JBL's sat really loose on my head although i have a big head so using them for anything else than sitting still made them fall off. Sound quality is meh no difference from what the old ones.
Yes and no. If you treat them as cheap consumables, the only limiting factor will be whether you like the sound and if you find them comfortable. If you want them to be longterm items, no. The band will lose clamping force over time and the hinges will eventually start to rattle and creak with some movements. The material on the ear cups will perish thanks to sweat and oils. They are replaceable at least and some of the other issues can be controlled with how well you handle them over time.
If by sound leakage you mean the amount of audio that is heard by other from your headphones, then from my tests up until 50% will not hear them at all, at 60% you will barely hear them at close distance. At full 100%, you will something but not powerful at all so they will probably not disturb other persons.

i have both q20 and q20i. the difference is that the q20 does not have transparency mode while the q20i does. the q20 does not have the app, the q20i has the app. the q20 does not connect to multiple BT devices, the q20i does. interestingly, before the q20, i had the q20+ which is basically the q20 that connects to multiple BT devices.
The first time I use them, should I run out of the manufactured battery and then charge them? Or should I charge them without using them? And how long should I charge them?
Bro tell me your experience, I want to buy this but, some people said there is connectivity issue with laptop or ios. Please tell me your experience or I should go with jbl 770nc
I don't know how the Q30 are, but I still enjoy the Q20i, they sound OK and I have bought them as budget headphones to trash around. They still work ok and I use them almost daily for a few hours.
