Life Q20+

I recently purchased these headphones to replace my old headphones that were starting to fall apart. They have completely transformed my experience. When I'm commuting, these headphones provide an impressive level of sound isolation that allows me to truly immerse myself in my music and podcasts. The design is sleek and modern, with comfortable ear cups that provide a snug fit without being overly tight. The adjustable headband ensures that they sit comfortably on my head, making them ideal for long listening sessions. The active noise cancellation feature is good for the price for these headphones. When I'm on a crowded subway, the headphones effectively block out background sounds, allowing me to focus on my audio. There’s also a transparency mode that lets in ambient sound when needed, which is a thoughtful addition for safety and awareness. The sound quality is great for normal use (music + podcast). The headphones also maintain audio clarity at high volumes, which is a major plus. The battery life is impressive for this price point, lasting up to 40 hours on a single charge with noise cancellation activated. I appreciate the quick charge feature, too—just a 15-minute charge can give me several hours of playback time, which is perfect for busy days. Comfort is key for me, and these headphones deliver. The plush ear cushions allow for extended wear without discomfort, and the lightweight design makes them easy to forget I’m wearing them. Overall, I highly recommend these noise-canceling headphones for anyone looking to elevate their audio experience. With their combination of effective noise cancellation, excellent sound quality, and comfort, they’re a fantastic investment for music lovers, commuters, and anyone seeking some peace and quiet. If you’re in the market for quality headphones at a reasonable price, keep these in your top list!

I've been using the Soundcore Life Q20 Plus headphones for a while now, and they’ve honestly impressed me, especially for the price. The sound quality is rich and well-balanced, with a good amount of bass and clear highs. I appreciated the ability to adjust EQ settings through the Soundcore app, which helped me fine-tune the sound depending on what I was listening to—music, podcasts, or movies. The noise cancellation is decent, especially in environments with low, consistent background noise like on a plane or in an office with a fan running. It doesn’t completely silence everything like more expensive models do, but it definitely reduces distractions. I also liked that there’s a transparency mode, which is useful when I need to hear my surroundings without taking the headphones off. One of the biggest highlights for me has been the battery life. With ANC turned on, I get about 40 hours of use, and it stretches even further with it off. Charging is fast, and a quick charge gives me several hours of playback, which has been super convenient when I forget to plug them in overnight. The headphones are also pretty comfortable. The ear cups are soft, and I’ve worn them for hours without discomfort. They’re mostly plastic, though, so while they’re lightweight, they don’t feel super rugged. I can see how someone who uses them roughly every day might run into durability issues over time. The Bluetooth connection has been stable and smooth. I’ve used them across multiple devices, and the multipoint pairing works well when I’m switching between my laptop and phone. For casual listening, work calls, or travel, these are a great choice. They’re not premium, but for the price, they deliver a lot more than I expected.

Compared to Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 (a gaming headset, which I have been using for about a year as my go to headphones after my Mpow H2O headphones deteriorated and fell apart), these are a great buy. I got these for under $60 with the discount and couldn't pass these up. These produce excellent sound with discernable differentiation between all octaves (true Hi-Res Audio—a certification only awarded to devices capable of producing exceptional sound.). The button layout is spread over both ears, with power and noise cancellation on the left and volume/media/phone/assistant control on the right. I haven't tried these with answering any phone calls, but suffice to say these headphones DO pair with Bluetooth simultaneously to two devices. So you shouldn't have a problem listening to your music from your PC or Mac and receiving or making phone calls at the same time. It charges with a USB-C cable (~3ft) and mine came already fully charged. There is also a wired 3 5mm headphone jack available. My head measures 7.25" in circumference and I had to adjust these very minimally, which in my opinion means these are good for people with smaller heads, but those heads measuring more than 7.5"/7.75" may find these headphones to be too small. The noise cancelling feature is true hybrid ANC (4 microphones--1 inside the ear cup and 1 outside the ear cup on both sides). The modes it presents are: Normal (no hybrid ANC), Transparency (situational awareness), and Noise Cancelling (true ANC). Per Soundcore, "Reduce Ambient Noises By Up to 90%: Life Q20+ has 4 ANC microphones and a digital active noise cancellation algorithm to detect and cancel out a wider range of low and mid-frequency noises". I found this statement holds water absolutely. Additionally, Soundcore offers an app to control equalizer settings, a sleep mode with many ambient sounds to assist one in falling asleep faster and over-the-air firmware updates. One needs to create an account with Soundcore, log into the app, have the app find your headphones and/or pair with Bluetooth, BUT your headphones do not need to stay connected to your phone, unless one wants to take/receive phone calls. The headphones use BLE (Bluetooth Low-Energy) to maintain a constant connection in the background, so that one may still control the EQ and all other features of the app. My one and only gripe with these (which is true of most over-the-ear headphones I try and which is usually a deal breaker) are the size of the ear muffs. Because the pros of these headphones do outweigh the cons (and the muffs being an important, but only con I could find), I'm still on the fence about returning these. These are a true over-the-ear headphone, but they don't quite cover my left rear completely, so part of the muff sits on my upper ear. I'm constantly trying to readjust the left muff for comforts sake. If over time you find that your muffs are deteriorating, replacement ones can be purchased through many 3rd party vendors, rather than investing in a new headphones. Incidentally, the muffs do turn outward 45 degrees and they do fold forward toward the frame for adjustment and storage purposes, respectfully. It comes with a soft, oversized microfiber carrying pouch. The provided quality that these headphones offer, one may want to invest in a 3rd party clam shell style carrying case. OVERALL: 4.5/5 stars. Anyone purchasing these shouldn't be disappointed, but my experience may vary from what others experience. Take my advice though and take these for a spin. No expectations, no disappointments!

I'm not familiar with a lot of the language surrounding audio devices but I've used this pair for years with zero issue. For the price point, it's an extremely solid budget option. Its quite durable and hasn't degraded in all my time using it, but if you're rough with it you might start so see problems judging by the material. Its, of course, adjustable though my head is small enough where i didnt even need to extend it, so you'll likely be fine. It's comfortable besides when my hair gets stuck in it sometimes lol The mic is passable. Not anything crazy obviously but people will be able to understand you. The noise canceling is great! As someone who gets overwhelmed in public spaces, crowds, big cities, and just by loudness in general, it's been extremely helpful!! it's much more just a muffler when you aren't playing any music, but when you are, the environment dissappears for the most part. It's fantastic Overall the quality is very impressive for the price, it'll last you a while as long as you aren't tossing it around all the time, it's quite portable, light weight, and has great audio and noise canceling quality. If you're a casual listener on a budget, this is a no brainer.

These headphones. These are the ones that I have been looking for. I work in a fairly-noisy R&D shop and the owner is a guy who likes to try novel things, so he bought us each a pair of the older version of this model for the light amount of noise reduction that they are capable of. And he’s nice sometimes. Those things are fantastic. They do a great job of canceling noise and the sound quality is lacking almost nothing. I like wearing them way better and they are much less distracting than ear buds. They are super light and reasonably comfortable for 10+ hours. I was looking for a pair for myself and found this upgraded model. I am aware of the glitch that sometimes makes a newer model less expensive than the older one because people usually buy the one with the most ratings, and the newer one sits around slowly accumulating enough ratings. I wanted a pair to wear on the weekend since they are inexpensive (and superior to my VERY expensive travel pair) and they keep my ears warm. They were already a fair enough deal, but I took advantage of that bug and got a pair for $8 less, but with USB-C and same day. And boy I’m glad I did. I didn’t even know about the new “transparency” function until I downloaded the app and was looking around. The app is good enough (I guess) and does let you play with the equalizer. I was able to improve the already outstanding sound (make it into a Nike swoosh)quality. But the app does little else. The old version of these headphones (the non-“+”) Isn’t recognized by the app for some reason. Call quality is very good and the Bluetooth range is amazing. These are comfortable right out of the box and don’t squeeze too much (I am 6’4” and 210#) even after wearing 6-8 hours continuously. The battery could last for days but I just charge it every evening. I did make some customizations since I don’t care that they fold up, and I wear them working on the farm. I needed some improved grip, especially looking up without a hat on. I wrapped the swivel with electrician’s tape (photo) which locks them into place. I added grip tape to the top arch so I’m sure I look ridiculous, but it’s my yard. They fit good and snug now, especially over a hat. I super-glued a wayward sequin beside the play/pause button so I can find it through a glove (picture). I bought a second pair (2-hr delivery) before they catch on and the cost goes up. They’re fantastic. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Edit: after 2+ years of almost daily use they still work great and last a long time. My only 2 complaints are that the ear pads aren’t replaceable, and the transparency function doesn’t clip loud noises.

These headphones are exactly as pictured by the seller. I was contemplating purchasing one of the Sony headphones but my dad recommended these to me. In hindsight these are definitely the better choice as I wanted a headphone style in this way to use while I work out at the gym. Therefore I needed something not only noise canceling but that would be somewhat water and sweat resistant to be able to give me good long-term use out of it. 200 to 350 + headphones definitely would not be the way to go for that. So if you are looking for headphones to use during exercise, be it moderate or intense, I would highly recommend these headphones. Not only for the price point, but the quality is outstanding. The headphone feature three modes: normal, transparency, and noise cancellation. All of which I have used thoroughly and enjoy. You can control your music or whatever you may be watching through a streaming service on the headphones directly in regards to volume pausing and playing as well as skipping ahead or behind. They're very comfortable easily adjustable, as well as easy to stow away in the bag they provide. The headphones came with a type c charger as well as an aux cable so you have the option to connect by bluetooth or to plug the headphones in directly into a smartphone, or any other electronic. I would highly recommend these headphones!

I bought these 2 years ago and they're still just as amazing as when I first got them. I've never been so happy with a pair of headphones; the padding is comfortable so I NEVER get ear or head aches after wearing them for long periods, and the audio is so clear. The different audio settings are all awesome, but the noise canceling is the best. I can't hear anything else with them which is perfect when I need to really focus on my studies or work, as any outside noise can be really distracting or annoying. They also have a cord so you can plug them into devices, which is nice when you have a device that doesn't support Bluetooth. I will say, the padding is starting to show signs of wear and peeling, but given the fact I've worn them everyday the past few years, I'd say they've held up way better than I would have thought. I'd buy again!!! Only downside is they look humongous lol, but if you just need a pair for at home then they're great!
