The reason I'm doing headphones is because I can't do earbuds anymore. They fall off easily and it feels like I need to jam them in to get the full effect.
same
earbuds are just a craze at first, when you buy you regrate most of the time.
i have a pair of the philips x2hr and airpods pro but im just looking for cheap headphones with any sort of anc so i can play on my laptop on the go
I feel you. Only earbuds I find acceptable are the AirPods and the AirPods Pro. Most other earbuds just make me want to vomit the way they sit in my ears and it’s even worse cause I have tinnitus. I’m also in the need of ANC headphones cause I have the Bose AE2 but the sound quality went to shit after I changed the pads.
Buy iems they don't fall out and have far superior audio. They won't be wireless though
mine just arrived. Definitely recommended. when you pair with your phone: dont forget to set it to AAC which is superior audio quality :)
Thanks for the info!
How to set ACC please?
@@kantotong9044 yeah I need to know as well
Is the bass strong, but... At what volume percentage can u feel the bass
Hi, I have a dumb question.. the noise cancelling works for mic/calls or just for listening?
I clicked on this video because it was a review for a product I’m considering buying and now I’m watching this guy jump rope over and over again my dude your workout routine is so cool
Thanks for watching (-:
Thanks for the review. Due to medical reasons I can't use ear buds anymore and I really appreciate your insights on how they work during exercise.
Thanks for watching
nice review, to the point and you described everything i wanted to know, thank you! subbed
Thanks for watching :-)
They really ARE that good at $60.. I was amazed at first when I got mine. Sound quality is very good for 95% of people.. even audiophiles give them high marks for anything under $150 😮
They are worth every penny.. where they are kinda cheap is build quality. So if you break stuff easily.. get the Q45 which are built like tanks (but cost $150).
Do they support dolby atmos songs?
Yes
Excellent review, well thought out.
Thanks for watching :-)
I like how you do this exercise 2:17 😮👍
Thanks for the review!!! How does it compare against Edifier W830BT and TaoTronics BH-0046 and BH0090.
Great review 👌🏾
Just purchased a pair half way through the review 😂
Honest review buddy, thanx 💜
Thanks for watching
The Bluetooth range of mine is approximately 130 paces in the open which is amazing
I love slow paced music plus i am planning to couple them as my gaming companion but like you said there is a significant drop in the audio quality after plugging it through the aux cabe.
What do you suggest?
Can you pair 2 devices at the same time? Great review
Yay! Thank you for this ♡ thinking of buying one! ◡̈ Helpful review! ◡̈ Just subscribed.
Thanks for watching (:
@@TheDShow Yay! You are very much welcome, Danny! ◡̈ Thanks for noticing my comment! ♡
Good review I will picking these up
Hope you like them. Thanks
Get this headphone!! Ive had this for about a year now and it is just amazing! I come home after listening to airpods and the amazing bass combined with the active noice cancelling is so comforting.
Thanks for sharing your feedback long term reveiws are always helpful
I've always gone around this budget with over ears, have you found that the material around the top has stretched at all from a year of putting them on/ taking them off and it's more difficult to keep them on your head if bending over/lying down?
are they still holding up i’m thinking of purchasing them
@@e.griessel5818 Yes definitely. I recently upgraded to the q35 bc I broke my old headphones from repair.
And get this, the limited dexterity in the ear cup swivels gives me a better seal on the cups and the sound is better. No joke. If you disregard all the other functions of the newer life series,then I would pick the old pair for sound quality alone.
Thanks! I think I'm just gonna go ahead and buy these as I've been researching for about four days. Some questions on amazon weren't answered. ;) But on buses what would you say about these headphones? They won't be any worse than previous earpods I've owned sounds like. I haven't ever owned a headset like this.
My previous earpods, wireless, would always play really loud as a default. I always had to turn them down every single time. You think that's a problem with the earpods or my device? As I say I don't know about these things. I never got in touch with the manufacturers as I only made the decision six months in or so. I don't think they'd be willing to exchange or whatever at that stage would they?
What I'm tryna get at is do you think it's my old ipod device, I've had it for almost ten years, that was messing up the volume or the earpods themselves. There were one or two other issues so probably the pods but seems they've packed up altogether now. Another red flag it would seem!
I think spending a bit more money on headphones like these - I got a recommendation from someone certainly more in the know than me also! will be worth it!!
your voice audio ducking is too aggressive, and it chops off sentences rly rapidly. Thanks for the review tho
I would agree. I would recommend you do some post processing on your audio and employ some noise reduction, as I could definitely hear some background static. I use audacity and a post processing method from EposVOX for my videos. I have found it does a really good job to normalize the audio and reduce the background noise as well as just give a better overall sound to my audio.
Thanks for the review, brilliant video however I have a couple of questions, what is the sound leakage like on these headphones, would others be able to hear them? & What is the material of the headphones like?
Thanks for watching. Sorry I didn't test sound leakage. The material felt nice and comfortable they felt light enough to wear for long periods but for there price I was happy with the build quality and feel.
Sound leakage seems pretty good. At full volume no one can hear them
Are you sure the audio you recorded was actually coming from the microphone in the headphones? I feel like it came from the phone microphone
I am considering these headphones to use a productivity device while studying around the house. Given my current needs, I don’t anticipate traveling with these or being in ultra noisy environments, but I want to be able to block out household distracting noises with the aid of a little ambient sound in the headphones and the ANC feature. Do you think these headphones provide enough ANC to accomplish that?
The ANC dulls noise around you it doesn't remove it but its really hard to say depending on how load things are around you.
Lovely video! Really want to get these, but one of my biggest worries is the echo you mentioned might come through phone calls. How often have you actually heard other users say the echo has been a problem when using these phones for calls? Just curious, not trying to say you haven't done your research haha! Thanks so much!!
It wasn't much of an issue and in the UK are mobile networks can very often be bad for call quality so it depends greatly on that but for calls I think these will he fine for general use.
nice Review Thx :)
you are an absolute pro on that jump rope
Thanks :)
How they compare to boltune headphone you also reviewed in your channel. Thank you
What do you think about noise cancellation? Is it good?
Thanks for the video. I just got some and I’m very happy with them I used to get the Bose comfort headphones for over 300 dollars and these were just as good.
Glad you like them!
Nice video bro..... But please how loud is the volume?
I need headphones for work but I’m considering buying either soundcore q20+ or the ranker barracuda x 2021. Any thoughts?
Thanks for the vid! Made my purchase today
Hope you enjoy them
How were them? I had issues with the NC in áreas with vibration (a taxi for example).
My main concern is about the Noise Canceling aspect, is it better than the taotrobics B065
Sounds like I’m gonna get some of these
which is better anker soundcore life q20 or taotronics soundserge 90 and why
did you feel downgrade in sound when playing with aux cable plugged in ?
Is it comfortable with your glasses as well? After a day of use for example?
This is late but no they aren’t very comfy with glasses
Are you certain the mic test was using the Headphone's in-built mic and not the phones? Had my doubts when the direction of the sound changed after you picked up your phone and swerved it around.
Its possible. The app I was using showed the mic source as the headphones
The only problem I had with this headset was in wireless mode. For some reason whenever I was close to a tp link powerline (and I have a few of those in my house) the WiFi speed would drop to 6 Mbps from 60 Mbps. I guess its because they probably both operate at the 2,4 Ghz band and there is interference from the Bluetooth. Unfortunately the TP link kit that I have does not jump to the 5 Ghz band so it is what it is I guess. However, the problem does not appear close to my router which also works at the 2,4 Ghz. I just use the cable around home. Apart from that this headset is the most value for money thing I've ever seen hands down. The base is strong , the battery is great, and they are super comfortable.
Thanks for sharing your feedback.
i have experienced this with literally all bluetooth headphones
6 to 60? isnt that good?
@@scoopshort 6 from 60
@@donstoob oh
What about the sweat, will it be a problem or is it sweat proof?
I'm getting those headphones for Christmas this year :)
🙂
So what's your thoughts after 11months?
Sound quality and comfort?
l mismo precio este Q20 y Q20i, cual recomiendas?? Es para el Gym... espero su consejo gracias....o recomiendas mejor otro en este mismo rango de precio??
I have read that you can boost the noise cancellation? by turning on the noise cancellation. But this uses up battery right?
Do you have a review on the Life Q10 by anker?
These headsets are AWESOME
Do they fit around ear or on top of ear?
Write! Fantastic skipping! Keep it up! Good video. Thank you.. I'm glad I subscribed..
can you provide headphone dimensions, do they fit comfortably? I've heard they don't fit smaller heads. I don't have a small head, perhaps a medium sized.
I know that the q10 work for small heads
Why did the sound change when moving the phone? as if the sound was being recorded with the phone mic? probably not as the sound was quite bad..
Do you need to buy a charger box for these?
Do these headphones sit on the ears or around the ears?.. I wear glasses and wear headphones for prolonged periods and my current headphones sit on the ears and press the glass arms into my skull..
I have a beat solo3 wire aux do you think this will work on these Also is it iPhone compatible thanks
Did you make phone call with someone ? If yes how was your voice while talking on phone? Is it clear or not ?
I just received these (August 2022) and thought they wouldn't be good enough so also ordered some Sennheisers which haven't arrived yet. These Anker Q20s are so good that I'll probably sell the Sennheisers when they arrive. Incredible sound, 60 hour battery, very effective noise cancelling, Bluetooth 5, and comfortable. What more do you need? They won't win a beauty contest but I couldn't care less about that
have you had any issues with them i’ve been trying to find a good pair for ages and these seem promising
Is the bluetooth on all the time or can you turn it off and just use the audio cable? thanks
@@maccagrabme you can use either wired or bluetooth
@@isabella7131 Cheers, I bought a couple of pairs since and very happy with them.
@@maccagrabme really? i want to buy some alot, do you find that they cancel traffic out well?
Are there any other headphones you'd recommend around this price range that you think are much better?
Sony pulse 3d headset better then this.
Yea you can still use aux cable for your phone
What is alternative? Is Skullcandy better?
I got these cans at xmas. Great value.
Hope you enjoy them!
Q20 and Q20i at the same price?? Are just the same???
Loving my Q20 for the price. Now I am getting tempted to upgrade to the Q35 which supports LDAC (I have a Sony Walkman). The Soundcore headphones are worth every dollar.
Are these better than soundcore life 2 NC
Is it safe to use a charger having 5V & 1A output to charge this device?????
Will this cancel the noise from my parents shouting when I'm trying to study?
Now that is a good use for headphones. They dull background noise but I find noise cancellation on most headphones I've tested abit of a gimmick it does work but, not that well... You would probably need something higher end if your interested in noise cancellation
This is exactly why i am looking for headphones.
Great video, thanks! I just bought simultaneously these headphones and BOSE 700, planning to return the one that doesn't mute the music from the bar downstairs. I'm most concerned with ANC ability and comfort. How do you compare these Anker and BOSE 700s?
Thanks for watching. Sorry I have never used the BOSE.
Does mic works in wired mode ? And dual paring ?
I just got the headphone today. I haven't tested Bluetooth connectivity yet but I noticed that I cannot turn it on when the aux cord is inserted and it turns off when I plug the cord back in - is this normal?
Yes your using wired mode.
what should I choose between this and jbl 510?
I will probably buy one
i just discovered these in walmart today, but only had the Soundcore Vortex which has no noise cancelling, but I really liked the fit which is rare for me to find. Idk if the q20 is the same size or not. Would these stay comfortably on small heads or slip off?
Ey im listening on the vortex right now!
Just ordered a pair of the Q20 i model as newer i think. On offer for £37.99. Hope they sound as good as I've read about...👍
Update
Review please
hi, thank you, how does this compare with Marshall Major III Headphones Bluetooth. :)
Wow nice voice mic
Good for the gym?
Can you try again on the mic sound quality? I think the one that was recorded was through your phone's mic. As you can hear when you picked up your phone, you can hear that you picked it up and when you are closer to it, it sounded nearer to you as well.
Sorry I don't have these headphones anymore.
They made this HiRes certified and has 16hz-40khz frequency but didn't bother to put LDAC support. So it only works wired. Making them pretty pointless headphones unless you just listen to spotify and nothing else.
I am selling my beats solo Pro because although they sound great, it’s just crazy uncomfortable. Would these be a good replacement option?
I found them pretty comfortable but everyone got slightly different heads.
Listening on Sony wh ch 710N 😅 checking day 1 but thinking about what to do with this now return or continue using
Do you think this are the best headphones under $60 or you would recommend me any other ?
Sorry I haven't reviewed many headphones since these ones so I have been out of the loop for awhile. At the time I was happy with them
Hello. What about the noise leakout? Can someone sitting next to me hear what I'm listening to? Does they have aptx? What about noise cancellation?
No its not good. NO NOISE cancelation
battery life on average?
I think the mic test was actually using the phone's mic. When he picks up the phone off the table the sound changes dramatically.
Yes this has already been said in the comments. I was using an app to record the bluetooth input but its possible it recorded my phone mic instead.
Are you sure that they lost quality when connected by the audio jack? That’s like against the concept of data transfer. I thought the quality would be the same or better with the audio jack. I ordered this yesterday to use for my garageband projects and you killed my buzz by saying this, because I gotta use it wired to avoid delays and what’s the point if they lower the quality? Can you please clear this up for me? :(
It didn't sound bad it just seemed like there was a slight dip in volume and quality I think this can depend what your plugged into though maybe I should have tested in another port/device.
I emailed Soundcore about this issue but didn’t get a response, yet. Then I canceled my order, a few hours after commenting on your video. I was worried that the headphones wouldn’t be satisfying enough. As I said earlier, I needed wired headphones to avoid delays while using Garageband. And I thought Life Q20 would be like 2 in 1, but I don’t need this to be my daily device. I use Airpods Pro for anything else I need to do. I hope I won’t regret my decision to cancel the order cause they were only $46 and I can’t spare more money for those at the moment😅 I’ll try to find something better in the same price range. I’d appreciate it if you have any other suggestions.
The Anker is what I would have recommended.
Would the noise canceling alone with No music, significantly reduce the sound of a vacuum cleaner ? I vacuum a lot and don’t like sticking things in my ears also don’t care much for music.
I don't think this would work very well without music :(
@@TheDShow probably need to just get some ear muff protection!
I never really liked in ear earbuds just the feeling of having them in my ear seemed uncomfortable but once I gave them a chance it didn't take long at all for them to feel natural to wear
Get industrial cans
I think that when you recorded audio with the smartphone, the sound was captured with the mobile phone's microphone and not with the headset, could it be? When you take the phone from the table I can hear the noise of the smartphone rubbing against the table.
The app I used was supposed to record the bluetooth source but I guess it didn't work :-(
Mine has the USB C. Was it updated or something?
I was gonna buy some headphones which seem to only sell because of, firstly, the brand and secondly because the higher price makes them seem higher quality than they really are, Apple logic. Thanks for saving me money.
idk whether someone has pointed this out yet, but i dont think your headphone microphone was the one recording, because when u lifted your phone up the audio changed because it wasnt on the table anymore. i think your lhone was recording, although i could be wrong.
The app I recorded with had Bluetooth as the source but it could have been recording from my smartphone somehow 🤷♂️
The D Show it was recording from your cell phone. No fooking $50 headphones has a mic that good
For sure the audio recording was coming from the phone and not the headphones, you can hear the audio change when the direction of the phone changes, and when the phone is picked up from the table you can hear the phone microphone drag on the table which shouldn't be audible if the audio recording was coming from the headphones. Thanks for the review otherwise.
The Carger dose not work for me please help me with this it dose not Carge
Immaculate posture
I have a question about using a pair of "over the ear, noise cancelling wireless headphones. I want to use a USB Flash drive in stead of my phone as the music source. I will be using them for yard work and I'm sure #1. It would kill my phone and #2. it would be out of reach if I kept it stationary "out of pocket". It's a very big property. I don't want to have to keep moving my phone every time it goes out of range. Are there any head phones that do this out of the box? or is it something I would have to take to an electronics shop? Thank you for any help you could send my way. Have a great day everyone.
Im not aware of a way you can use a USB stick as the source. Using your smartphone shouldn't drain the battery that fast you can also get some pretty small cheap powerbanks to plug into your phone while your working to keep it charged up.
@@TheDShow Thanks for your reply. What I meant by "Kill my phone" Was actually physically breaking my phone. Poor choice of words on my part. I will look for a case to protect my phone. Thanks again for your help.
Does anyone know if these have better sound quality than the 2019 soundcore liberty neo buds?
i dont think you were able to record audio with the headphone bc the phone clearly picked up the slide off the table at 5:06
I wasn't expecting that! Great skills brother. How's the headphone working? does it hold till now? Just ordered it to use at the gym. Thanks!
Thanks for watching, I didn't keep them very long so I can't say sorry.
I am trying to decide between these and the soundcore space NC, are the space NC worth the £75 more?
I currently have a pair of soundcore earbuds and I have a soundcore 2 speaker and they sound awesome and I have had a battery pack (20100) for 5 years now and still going strong
The Soace Q45 is worth the extra cost because they are built like tanks. The Q20s Achilles heel is their build quality.. they are delicate. You get a lot of bang for buck on the Q45.
Hope this helps n
I do have one question. Can u use the mic when the jack is put on?
Sorry I did not test that
No you cannot
Best headphones, it takes two days to die when charge I sleep overnight with it on my head and it didn’t die
Your sounds recording was actually recording on your phone, not the headset i believe. When you moved the phone you can clearly hear the phone hit/scratch against the table just fyi
I blame the app I used 😅
@@TheDShow I find that many apps use the phones mic even if a headset is connected
Just bought these do you think they’d cancel out noise in a car?
Depends what type of noise, they will help remove some background noise. generally not loud stuff that is close to you.
Still looking for the bass up button
Hi there mate I ordered some of these soon as I got them on the left hand earphone there a thudding noise soon as I turn off noise control it stops is this right as I need to return these many thanks Jamie
Sounds like they could be faulty I would contact there supplier.
@@TheDShow yeah from amazon mate Going to send them back its a shame because if they wasn't doing that they would be great I was just making sure im not being thick as soon as I turn off the noise control the thudding stops soon as I turn it back on it starts again
The only thing making me doubt is the sound. Is it flat? I want some headphones that reproduce music faithfully to how it was recorded.
For there price at the time I thought they were good not sure about now haven't reviewed any headphones in awhile mainly earbuds.
Sony 3d pulse is better for music listening and can aux cable it to phone.
I have try and honestly I prefer Sony pulse over my Anker sound core q30
How does this stands with Skullcandy evo hush
