good

the signal again suffers from an audible hiss
the vocals seem to take a back seat
quiet room noise seems to get louder when
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
headphones is poor
sound quite harsh and dull
the mic can't be used while wired
lack any power-saving features
The bass is already pretty muddy and the BassUp feature just exacerbates
the buttons especially have a harsh clang when pressed
hear nearby chatter
clattering keyboards
and closing doors
built-in amplifier kicked back into gear
Chatter and bursts of laughter remained audible
low end start to feel a bit muddled and messy
one button turns the power on and off
presents a ton of value in a small price tag
No cherry-picked units sent by manufacturers
lower-pitched noise are almost unnoticeable
an alumnus of Google and initially selling only through Amazon Marketplace
screaming of tormented souls to a different pair
no means a market leader in sound technology
The padded headband also never became uncomfortable in long listening sessions
Q20 s felt a bit flimsy
bad boys could pump out
too cheap compared to the utility it brings
the buttons have to be pushed hardly in order to work
much detail to the sounds and the total balance is definitely more warmer and they
lacks much in the way of physical sound isolation
a little dull
sounds bass heavy and muddy
Basslines blurred together
and cymbals and strings sounded unnatural
the interface is so amorphous it s nearly useless
The volume fluctuations are not huge
feature a little too muddy and overpowers the mids and highs
Soundcore app somehow does not support these headphones
the bass becomes so much tighter and
faint chatter of people or even a child crying on public transport
horrible low end rumble was almost gone
It does not store any personal data
the mids and highs seemed to be a bit less forward
No Apt-X support
micro-USB charger
a little too much of Gould s humming

The Anker Soundcore Life Q20+ headphones deliver rumbling bass and active noise cancellation for less than $70, but audio quality takes a big hit when noise cancellation is engaged.

Design The over-the-ear design of the SoundCore Life Q20 resembles a similar design as the Bose QuietComfort line of headphones, although at a slighter larger size. The Life Q20 headphones are mostly plastic, but there is a metal sheet in the headband that neither makes the headphones too tight or too loose on my head. […]
