Note
1. According to regulations, the maximum volume of headphones should not exceed 100dB. In order to protect your hearing, Life Q20’s maximum volume has been set to around 95dB. It is recommended that you do not listen to excessively loud volumes for long periods of time.
2. Noise cancellation technology is designed to reduce ambient noise, but it may not completely eliminate all sounds, especially high-frequency sounds like human voices. However, if you find that the noise cancellation feature is not working as expected, please try the following steps to see if there are some differences:
(1)Please first look at the L/R logo inside the earcovers to ensure that the right and left ears are properly worn.
(2)Adjust the sliders on the headband arms, make sure the earcovers cover your ear for a secure and sealable fit.
(3)Try the headphones in another environment.
3. What to Do If Your Headphones Keep Falling Off：If your headphones are not staying in place, follow these steps:
(1)Ensure Proper Fit: Verify the ear cups are positioned correctly on your ears.
(2)Adjust the Headband: Adjust the headband length for a comfortable and secure fit. The ear cups should fully cover your ears without being too tight or loose.
(3)Manage Long Hair: If you have long hair, tuck it behind your ears to reduce friction that might cause the headphones to slide.

BUY THESE NOW!!!
I cannot be happier with this purchase!!! I was tempted to buy the ones that are always advertised on TikTok for $80 but I looked at these and checked out reviews and Iâm so happy I did. They work so well for the price!! Honestly they seem like expensive headphones! They are so comfortable and light on my head. They do not make my ears hurt ever! The sound is great! I love that I can block out background noise but also hear things in the background as well. I use these mostly for audiobooks but the music sound is great as well. I was concerned they wouldnât be great to talk on the phone but apparently the mic quality is fantastic. My husband said they are better than my AirPods which was surprising. Donât hesitate to buy these!

Unbeatable Price:Performance!
I’ve had the Soundcore Q20 headphones for almost a month now, and I thought I’d start off my review with one simple statement: I’ve only charged these things ONCE since I’ve taken them out of the box. These headphones have absolutely phenomenal battery life. The only reason I charged them was because I wanted to test how long they would last on a full charge (within my day to day use). I received these headphones on the 1st of April. It is currently the 27th of April and the battery is still at “Medium” (there is no visual indicator, however there is a voice that tells you whether your battery is “High”, “Medium”, or “Low”).That being said, I’ll go ahead and list some Pros:- Battery Life (Seriously, I can’t stress enough how good it is)- Sound Quality- Comfort- Looks- Sturdiness/Build Quality- Noise Cancellation (there’s a caveat here, continue reading to see what I mean)BATTERY LIFE:As if I haven’t already said enough, these headphones refuse to die. I’ve used them from anywhere between an hour to 3-4 hours at a time (long gaming sessions or binging a show on my laptop or phone), and they just don’t let up. Like I mentioned in the intro, it’s been almost an entire month with these headphones and I’ve only had to charge them once. It is worth mentioning that the battery will drain much faster with noise-cancelling turned on, as it is indeed ACTIVE noise-cancelling and uses more power. I’ve got to give props to Anker for marketing these as lasting 40 hours, as this runtime is more accurate when noise-cancelling is ON. With ANC off, these can easily last 60+ hours. It’s always refreshing to see a company slightly under-sell and over-deliver.SOUND QUALITY:These things sound way better than they should at this price-point. I wouldn’t call myself an audiophile, but I do have experience with over-ear, closed-back studio headphones (I own a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50x’s), and dabble in amateur sound mixing/mastering as a guitarist. Apart from being just a bit heavier on the bass than I would like, these headphones do an excellent job at bringing out lows, mids, and highs in pretty much anything you’ll find yourself listening to. Nothing sounds drowned out or overexposed (with the exception of the bass, but there’s a valid reason for it in this case). I bought these headphones primarily for multimedia consumption (movies, video games, music, etc.). They have just the right amount of punch in the low-end to make things such as explosions or bass-heavy sound effects really shine. In this instance, the heavier low-end makes sense. Voices sound crystal clear, as the mids don’t get drowned out by the lows or highs like on some other higher-priced headphones (looking at you, Beats..). The highs are where these things truly shine, in my opinion. Lots of budget headphones tend to sound very “tinny” with harsh, sharp highs to over-compensate for the overly-saturated bass, but these do a great job at keeping both the mids and highs prominent enough (despite the thicker bass).COMFORT:I’ve owned and used plenty of both over-ear and on-ear headphones over the years, and I can’t beat around the bush here: these are the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever used. I was expecting to have to “break them in”, given what some of the other reviews were saying, but the minute I put these on I was pleasantly surprised at just how soft and light these felt (without feeling cheap or flimsy). And I wear glasses!LOOKS:Not a whole lot to say about how these look. I wouldn’t say you’ll be turning heads while wearing these out and about, but for the amount of money that they cost.. I’m just saying they could’ve looked a lot worse. I’ve seen headphones three times the price that are a complete eye-sore. The Q20s are clean and minimalistic, without giving away its low price.STURDINESS/BUILD QUALITY:Although I’m not one to man-handle my devices (no matter how little they may cost), I have to say that these don’t feel the least bit flimsy. I did a mild stress-test by stretching both ear cups apart as far as I was comfortable with and was able to get about 10 inches wide. I don’t think anyone has a head that wide, but if you do, these are definitely going to fit. The build quality feels great, and I feel like these will definitely last a while (and I will be updating this review if that changes lol).NOISE CANCELLATION:These headphones do indeed have active noise cancelling, BUT.. I literally almost NEVER use it. Here’s why: they don’t need it. The headphones are built in such a way that even with the ANC off, they drown out a ton of outside noise. Unfortunately, there is a significant drop in volume when noise-cancelling is activated. The bass takes a hit as well, making it more evened out with the mids and highs (which might be a plus for some).FINAL THOUGHTS:There’s only really one “Con” that I wasn’t going to mention, and that’s the carrying bag that comes with the Q20s. There’s nothing really wrong with it, but I did just want to note that they used to come with a hard carrying case (according to some older YouTube reviews), and I’m a little salty that us newer buyers don’t get that lol. All in all, for the $60 that I paid for these headphones, I can’t think of any reason not to fully recommend them. They sound great, the battery life lasts incredibly long (almost to a suspicious degree, making you feel like today is finally the day it’ll need a charge only to be proven wrong), it’s got decent looks, solid build, and they even threw in Active Noise Cancellation for situations that call for some extra silence. If you’re in the market for some new headphones for multimedia consumption (I definitely would not use these for any professional work, as they are not made for that), and have a bit of a stiffer budget, look no further. These will do more than its price tag leads on.

Overall Good Product – Some Cons
I bought these headphones before in 2021, to listen to videos / music while working, walking my dog, etc. I probably used them an average of 5-8 hours on a daily basis, heavily using them. It’s 2025 now, and I finally have to buy a new pair due to me accidentally cracking the frame and the top layer of the padding around the ear peeling peeling; although despite this, almost everything still works perfectly fine without any issues. There are definitively pros and cons to this product like anything else:Pros:Decent noise cancelling – it’s not great, as you can still hear some external noise, but it’s not like you need to crank up the volume to drown it outFairly good sound quality: I’ve played various music, including dubstep, heavy metal, pop, rock, etc. & it can handle the majority of base. Sound quality seemed to stay consistent across genres. However, it’s not like it’s going to sound like you’re listening to an artist live.Battery life:It has retained its battery life without issue over the course of 4 years that I’ve had it, despite my heavy daily use. I typically had to charge it on average once every 4-5 days.Inputs / Charging Ports:The inputs for using the jack port and charging ports haven’t posed any issues (malfunctioning, having to place the cords at a weird angle to get it to charge or work, etc.).Wired connectivity:Worked and was compatible with Windows (although this may depend on the version being used) via wired connection using the jack port. I’ve used the port to wire my headphones directly to my laptop and had no connection issues.Bluetooth connectivity:Solid Bluetooth connection including times when I had passed through signal dead zones (although I don’t know if it was because I didn’t linger too long on those areas…). On average, it took about 5-15 seconds for my headphones to pair with a new device based on my experience. Took about 2-3 seconds to re-connect to whatever device I was using (if I had already setup a connection to the headphones prior).Buttons:Never had any issues (stickiness, malfunctioning, etc.) with the buttons (power, noise canceling, pause, volume adjustments, etc.) during the time I was using it.Price: Price was good for the quality of the product. I had searched for about a week for similar products with comparable features / quality in 2021. At the time, I had compared 4-6 other comparable products (including this one) and found on average for a comparable product, I would potentially be paying about $10-30 more.Headband: very comfortable (despite the looks of the headband). I believe I have an average sized head (not small or large) and I tend to vie for comfortability during use over many other features because of my heavy day to day use, especially because I wear glasses. My glasses typically get pressed into my head by the sides of the headbands of headphones of other products I’ve tried, and over time, it hurts and gives me a nasty headache. However, the headphone for this product did not do that, nor did I feel any pressure from the top of the headband. In fact, it was comfortable enough, that sometimes there were moments when I forgot I had them on.Longevity/ product life span:I have the longevity of this product to be very good. I’ve gone through a variety of headphones products over the years, from cheap no-name to high end brands. I found on average, the headphones would last me maybe 4-6 months with heavy daily use, a little longer than the average ear buds products I’ve tried. However, this product has lasted 4 years. Only near the 4th year, did the top layer of the padding around the ear start to peel.Cons:Headphone padding around the ears: the padding is comfortable but it can be very insulating if you are doing extensive movements (heavy lifting, high intensity activities, etc.) causing the areas around your ear that are covered by it to sweat. So, if you’re sensitive to that, I would simply recommend finding an ear bud product you like rather than headphones. As in my experience, almost every headphone that cover your ears, do this to some extent.Noise cancellation:I live in a place that has a pretty strong windy season. I found when I was using this product outside during the windy season, the strong winds would slip between the padding around the ears and you could hear some of the wind. It wasn’t that bad granted, as the sound was still pretty muted, but you could still hear it.Microphone:So, this was never a priority for me since I never bought this product with the intention of using it to make phone calls or speak in video calls, meetings, etc. However, I did see from questions asked about this product that there was a built-in mic and I tried to use it 5-6 times via android cellphone. However, the mic only worked 1 out of the 6 times for me and I’m unsure why. When, it did work, the sound quality of the mic was average and it picked up background noise, like wind, cars passing, or anything else very easily when I tried it while walking outside. So, this may not be the best product for you if a good mic is a priority for you.

The sound quality and adjustments are best. They might seem price but are worth it. Have been using them for a year and have used them in gym, while running on track, indoors as well.Only thing is that the cotton on both ears has now started to tear off after a year’s use.

Ich habe die Soundcore Q20 Kopfhörer jetzt seit ca. einer Woche. Dabei sind mir folgende Vorteile aufgefallen, auf welche ich nun näher eingehen möchte:⢠Akkulaufzeit⢠Klangqualität⢠Komfort⢠Aussehen⢠Stabilität/Verarbeitungsqualität⢠GeräuschunterdrückungAKKULAUFZEIT:Ich habe die Kopfhörer täglich von einer Stunde bis zu 3-4 Stunden am Stück verwendet und sie geben einfach nicht nach. Der Akku ist noch am gleichen Stand wie beim Ersten Tag. Es ist erwähnenswert, dass der Akku bei eingeschalteter Geräuschunterdrückung viel schneller leer wird, da sie tatsächlich AKTIVE Geräuschunterdrückung haben und mehr Energie verbrauchen (logisch). Ich muss Anker dafür loben, dass sie diese Kopfhörer als 40 Stunden haltbar vermarkten, da diese Laufzeit genauer ist, wenn die Geräuschunterdrückung EINgeschaltet ist. Ohne Geräuschunterdrückung können sie problemlos mehr als 60 Stunden halten. Es ist immer toll, wenn eine Firma etwas unterbewirbt und mehr liefert.KLANGQUALITÃT:Diese Kopfhörer klingen viel besser, als sie es in dieser Preisklasse sollten. Ich würde mich nicht als Audiophilen bezeichnen, aber ich habe Erfahrung mit den Bose SoundLink Over-Ear oder den Apple Airpods Pro. Abgesehen davon, dass sie etwas mehr Bass haben, als ich mir wünschen würde, erledigen diese Kopfhörer einen ausgezeichneten Job dabei, Bässe, Mitten und Höhen in so ziemlich allem hervorzubringen. Nichts klingt ertränkt oder überbelichtet. Ich habe diese Kopfhörer hauptsächlich für Multimedia-Konsum (Filme, Videospiele, Musik usw.) gekauft. Sie haben genau die richtige Menge Punch im Tieftonbereich, um Dinge wie Explosionen oder basslastige Soundeffekte wirklich zum Leuchten zu bringen. In diesem Fall macht der stärkere Tiefton Sinn. Stimmen klingen kristallklar, da die Mitten nicht von den Tiefen oder Höhen erstickt werden, wie bei einigen teureren Kopfhörern⦠Die Höhen sind meiner Meinung nach das Highlight dieser Kopfhörer. Viele Budget-Kopfhörer neigen dazu, sehr “blechern” zu klingen, mit scharfen, harten Höhen, um den übermäÃig gesättigten Bass auszugleichen, aber diese schaffen es gut, sowohl die Mitten als auch die Höhen ausreichend prominent zu halten (trotz des kräftigeren Basses).KOMFORT:Ich habe im Laufe der Jahre viele Over-Ear- und On-Ear-Kopfhörer besessen und verwendet, und ich kann hier nicht drumherumreden: Diese sind die bequemsten Kopfhörer, die ich je benutzt habe. Ich hatte erwartet, dass ich sie “einspielen” muss, basierend auf dem, was einige andere Bewertungen sagten, aber sobald ich diese aufgesetzt habe, war ich angenehm überrascht, wie weich und leicht sie sich anfühlen (ohne billig oder wackelig zu wirken). Und ich trage eine Brille!AUSSEHEN:Es gibt nicht viel zu sagen über das Aussehen dieser Kopfhörer. Ich würde nicht sagen, dass Sie damit auf der StraÃe Aufmerksamkeit erregen werden, aber für den Preis, den sie kosten… Ich sage nur, sie hätten viel schlimmer aussehen können. Ich habe Kopfhörer gesehen, die dreimal so teuer sind und die komplett unansehnlich sind. Die Q20 sehen sauber und minimalistisch aus, ohne ihren niedrigen Preis preiszugeben.STABILITÃT/VERARBEITUNGSQUALITÃT:Obwohl ich meine Geräte nicht grob behandle (egal wie wenig sie kosten mögen), muss ich sagen, dass diese überhaupt nicht schwach wirken. Ich habe einen milden Belastungstest gemacht, indem ich beide Ohrmuscheln so weit auseinander gezogen habe, wie ich mich wohl fühlte, und konnte etwa 10 Zoll Breite erreichen. Ich glaube nicht, dass jemand einen Kopf hat, der so breit ist, aber wenn Sie das tun, werden diese definitiv passen. Die Verarbeitungsqualität fühlt sich groÃartig an, und ich habe das Gefühl, dass diese definitiv eine Weile halten werden (und ich werde diese Bewertung aktualisieren, wenn sich das ändert, haha).GERÃUSCHUNTERDRÃCKUNG:Diese Kopfhörer haben tatsächlich eine aktive Geräuschunterdrückung, ABER… ich benutze sie buchstäblich fast NIE. Hier ist der Grund: Sie brauchen es nicht. Die Kopfhörer sind so konstruiert, dass sie auch ohne aktive Geräuschunterdrückung eine Menge Umgebungsgeräusche ausblenden. Leider gibt es einen signifikanten Lautstärkeabfall, wenn die Geräuschunterdrückung aktiviert ist. Der Bass nimmt ebenfalls ab, was ihn gleichmäÃiger mit den Mitten und Höhen macht (was für einige von Vorteil sein könnte).Fazit:Es gibt eigentlich nur einen “Nachteil”, den ich nicht erwähnen wollte, und das ist die Tragetasche, die mit den Q20 geliefert wird. Es ist eigentlich nichts daran auszusetzen, aber ich wollte nur erwähnen, dass sie früher mit einem harten Tragekoffer geliefert wurden (laut einigen älteren YouTube-Bewertungen), und ich bin ein wenig verärgert, dass wir neuere Käufer den nicht bekommen. Alles in allem, für die 30 Euro im Angebot, die ich für diese Kopfhörer bezahlt habe, fällt mir kein Grund ein, sie nicht uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen. Sogar für den Normalpreis von 60 Euro, ist der Preis komplett gerechtfertigt. Sie klingen groÃartig, die Akkulaufzeit ist unglaublich lang, sie sehen ordentlich aus, sind solide verarbeitet und sie haben sogar eine aktive Geräuschunterdrückung für Situationen, die nach etwas mehr Stille verlangen. Also wie gesagt, absolut Top

Top! Alleen jammer dat het geen USB C aansluiting heeft. Accu gaat echt heel lang mee en de noise cancelling werkt top
Dany –
I have been using it for a week now. I simply put it on, play my podcast and walk. Noise cancellation is excellent, and people can hear me clear when I speak on the phone outdoors. I noticed one issue (which probably not unique to Anker Soundcore Life Q20) though. The wind filters in through the microphones, but I never had to turn the volume up. In general I’m super happy with my purchase considering the low price.

Après avoir eu différents casques (Taotronics 90 et Mpow H21) dans cette tranche de prix je nâai gardé que celui-ci. Je peux affirmer que le soundcore Q20 life est le plus équilibré de tous. Tout dâabord la réduction de bruit est la plus efficace comparé aux 2 autres et de loin! Le H21 avait le pire ANC.La qualité de son est excellente pour les 3 (sous certaines conditions concernant le H21)Le Taotronics 90 un poil plus charnus au niveau des voix, le Soundcore q20 un poil plus spatial et le Mpow H21 équivalent au Taotronics 90 à condition de désactiver la réduction de bruit !! Lorsquâon active lâANC le son devient tout de suite plus petit! vraiment dommage….. En revanche le micro du Mpow H21 sâen sort un peux mieux que les 2 autres.Pour conclure le soundcore Q20 est vraiment le meilleur rapport qualité prix. Dâabord parce que la qualité du son est top et digne dâun bon casque et parce que lâANC est vraiment bon. Bien meilleur de ce quâon peut trouver dans cette fourchette de prix.Ma femme possède également un Bose QC35II et le Soundcore Q20 nâa pas à rougir en terme de ANC et de qualité de son.EXCELLENT ðð»
