Review: Excellent value and outstanding customer service - *Update: customer service experience added to end of review* These headphones sit at the top end of the budget price range and they are better quality than most at this budget level. The build quality is good, the connectivity is simple (I have connected them to an iPad and a MacBook) and the sound quality is decent. The battery lasts a long time between charges (the spoken voice will give you an indication when you connect) with the claimed 60 hours seems plausible to me although it's probably less with noise cancelling on. The noise cancelling is effective and I have used these headphones in a busy office to good effect. Noise cancelling is on by default when you connect which at first I didn't like (I prefer it to be off until I specifically want to use it) but this bothers me much less these days and I tend to just keep it on. The headphones are also pretty comfortable and easy to collapse for transportation. Overall it's hard to fault these headphones at the price and if you can grab them at around the £40 price point they are a steal. *Update: After about 14 months the part of the band that attached to the left earpiece snapped as I was taking the headphones off. I was expecting to have to buy some new headphones from another brand but before I did I thought I'd reach out to Anker Customer Support to see if they might help and they replied to my e-mail within half-an-hour offering to send me a replacement. First class customer support I wasn't expecting.
Review: Awesome headphones - I needed a new set of headphones to replace a set of Sony's that I've had for a few years. I came across these on here, and added them to my basket along with a few other pairs, and then began checking out the reviews on here, followed by some on YouTube. All reviews on YouTube seemed extremely positive and were actually stating that these punched well above their weight, especially at the price, many reviewers stating they'd pay two or three times the price, so I returned to desertcart, deleted the others in my basket and ordered these. Delivery was next day and on-time, and arrived in perfect condition, no problems there. The headphones are light, look modern and cool, and the materials all feel high quality, although it's subjective comfort for me personally was excellent, and the fit was perfect, these are light and comfy, the padding all around is soft and supple, great for long use, with no discomfort, I used them for seven hours straight on the day they got delivered, and I've tried them out with my glasses, no problems with the fit or comfort there either. I've had the headphones for a week now, and have tried them with my record player, PS5, TV, laptop, projector, and mobile phone. Connection is straightforward and simple for each device, with no drop outs or connection issues. I've taken a few phone calls though the headphones now, not one caller has mentioned I sound 'funny, distorted, quiet or unclear' infact, nobody has mentioned a thing, so they can't tell I'm using headphones, and I can hear every caller loud and clear. I've been really impressed with the sound quality with these, but initially thought the bass may be too overpowering for the kind of music I like, but I soon became accustomed to this, and love it now. I don't use the bass boost, as it's not needed for me, but it's there's for all the bassheads, and I'm sure it's a feature they'll like. These are my first noise cancelling headphones, so I can't compare that feature to other (much more expensive) headphones, it's not a feature I really use, as I tend to use these in quiet areas when alone, but the feature does work, as I blocked out some noisy neighbours one night, so it would be useful for any other users, the over ear pads dampen the outside world quite well by themselves too, (noise cancelling only works when connected via Bluetooth, and not when connecting with the supplied aux cable. The sound through these are rich and clear, I don't think you'd get a better pair of headphones at this price point to be honest, which the many YouTube reviews correctly stated. You will probably see reviews on here from audiophiles detailing the finer intricacies of frequencies, sound stages, balances, trebles, rolling highs, lows, mids and all the like, you know the ones.....but I ask, why are you buying a pair of £32 headphones, when it's clear you are looking for a lot more specification (and price) wise, I'd say ignore those, and don't let the over analysers put you off, they have unrealistic expectations, these sound excellent for the price, just check out the YouTube reviews from people who test many different comparable products, you'll be hard pressed to find many negative ones. Fantastic battery life, 40hrs with active noise cancelling, 60 houra without. I've had to charge them once in a week, after many hours of use, and the quick charge feature is amazing and very useful, 10 minutes charge giving you 4 hours of battery life. This model is not compatible with the Soundcore app, so you won't be able to use that to adjust the equaliser settings. I was aware of this before purchase, because I read the reviews and specifications on here, and on the Anker website, easily done before purchase, and it wasn't an issue for me, as I can download an app, or use and EQ on my laptop, to be honest, they sound just fine from the factory setting. If you want the app compatibilty buy the next model up, Q20i I would highly recommend these to family or friends without hesitation, knowing they'll love them. It's my first Anker SoundCore product, so it's always a worry when you try a new brand, but glad I did, and will look for one of their speakers next, and buy happily without any worry about the quality. Like everything else when you're looking to buy something, TVs, computers, cars, there's always gonna be people who want the very best, (we all do want that for our money of course) and these won't meet that need for the serious audiophiles, that must have, or need the top features and specs, but remember you're not paying top money for these, and for the price, you'll be getting the best you can for your money. No matter what you're buying, when you read some reviews, they are never good enough for some people, and have unrealistic expectations, and can put you off purchasing when doing your research, but I don't think these will disappoint the majority of buyers at all. Hope you enjoy them as much as I am.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want them for gym use? Any good?**
A: Im having trouble using these for anything but upright movements. If your doing circuit training,medball, cycling (moving head into different positions) they move around alot. Im a female and really struggling with these. I want to do more interval training and i can't keep these on my head. But i absolutely love Anker

**Q: How comfortable are these on the ears for use over longer periods, i.e. 3-4 hours.**
A: We use memory foam ear cups to gently mold around your ears, while the headband’s rotating joints automatically adjust the angle of the ear cups to fit the shape of your head. This ensures that Life Q20 Bluetooth headphones deliver maximum comfort. They are extremely comfortable according to our product team's test and customers' experience.

**Q: The extra bass up is x 2 clicks on the middle up aside down triangle right is that it only x2 clicks?**
A: There are 3 buttons on the right headphone.  Vol/track up, vol/track down & base.

Double press to turn on double base, double press again to go back to normal base.

If I'm honest, the bar is do rich and deep I don't need the base expander it sounds awesome kids the way they are.

Hour this helps...

**Q: Do these come with a travel case??**
A: They come with a pouch but NOT a hard shell case.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Update! to “Great for the price so far.”
*by I***N on 18 August 2019*

Got these with a 20% discount (link to Amazon) from an Anker email - so its worth signing up with them to see if you can get the discount before buying. First of all, they sound good and the NC seems effective. I did a side-by-side test vs a pair of Sony wh-1000xm3 (which are the regular best-buys/award winners and cost £270). The Anker/Soundcore Q20 stack up well. The Sonys have a bit more depth/fuller sound and are louder, but they are 7x the price. So far in the house these are perfectly respectable and if you can get them for £40, brilliant. Nice fit, controls are easy, and there's a base-boost mode. Negatives - could be louder, and the pouch is obviously no protection if you're travelling so you may need to budget for a hard-shell as well. Battery seems ok so far. Will also test the NC on a plane and update! NOTE - photo is them in the hard case I bought for £6, it is NOT provided in the pack. NB case now returned as it was terrible quality! Don't buy 'Secret Rain' case!! UPDATED I used these on a couple of 2.5hr flights and the NC was effective (maybe not quite as good as the Sonys but not side by side so can’t be sure). The sound level was fine for watching downloaded tv even when taking off and engines at full throttle! Comfortable to wear as well and possibly breath a bit better than the Sonys. Also used on an intercity train and they were very good. Its a shame that Anker do not provide a hard-shell case as they did with the previous model, as the pouch provided is pretty pointless and offers no protection. I contacted Anker to see if they did the case as an accessory and No....Not helpful! So, May 2020 update. These are still rocking with great battery life and very solid Bluetooth connection. For music, in the house, side by side then the Sonys win hands down, a different league. But for tv/movie and travelling for £40 these are astonishing value.
