Anker Soundcore Life Q20 - fantastic noise cancelling headphones for around £40-£50

[maomao]

I just got myself the q20s again. I have some Q30s that ate better but I appreciated the case the q20s came in. Much better for traveling and commuting.

Grrr. They don't come with a really cool case anymore. Just a plastic box and a cloth bag.

It's a just a Prime price today. They usually get the offer a day in advance so I guess it'll be that price tomorrow for the non Primes.

And thanks to an ad I've realised the whole point of Prime day, you only get the prices with Prime

The deal is still on. Quite tempted to get a pair of Q20s for my partner. She's far from an audiophile, but the noise cancelling would be helpful. How good is it. Would it make a busy office less noisy?

Apparently...

Yes.

It works far better on constant noises than sudden ones. For instance road noise almost disappears but speech is still clearly audible.

And the hideous screeching of the Victoria Line doesn't disappear. But on a plane they're almost magical!

 

[Throbbing Angel]

Yes, you lose the drone of the office but not close by voices. But they are quieter.

I'm in a govt office call centre and you lose the vast majority of the office noise. But someone on the phone next to you, not so much, just quieter. But if you have music on, even quietly, you lose almost everything from the office.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Thanks folks. I have taken a punt. I think just wearing them will cut out some noise as she listens to her lowfi.

What swung it for me is they can be cabled as well as Bluetooth so she can have them linked to her phone, but plugged into a work lap of needed.

Q30's are down in price today in my Amazon app from 79.99 to 49.

These are the previous iteration

May be worth a look if you're in the market for a pair of NC cans atm.

I've never used the 30's but, logically, they are ten better than the 20's ... or something.

Sorry don't have the focus to read through the whole thread. My daughter is after some affordable noise cancelling headphones, she has sensory differences. These look good, are these recommended by the neurodivergent people on here?

 

[Throbbing Angel]

I rate them Red Cat I can't speak for the higher-numbered models, but the Q20's are good. They have a micro USB charge point if that matters to you or your daughter. All the others are usb-C. It is a minor point.

The main thing I dislike about them is that the earcups are round rather than oval, so I find they hurt/bother me after a while - but I have massive ears - so your daughter's mileage may vary. I can manage 90 minutes before I have to give my ear lobes a rest.

These discounts above have passed now but there are vouchers on the relevant Amazon pages for the Q20's , Q20i's and Q30's today of varying %. (15, 20 and 25% respectively)

They also have refurbished Q20's for £39.99 minus 10% voucher and you still get a 12 month warranty from Amazon.

I have the Anker liberty 4 noise cancelling earbuds and they've been a game changer for me (Aspie). Pop them in and after about a second the noise cancelling cuts in. It's like being wrapped in a blanket. Fantastic things.

 

[Red Cat]

Daughter is happy with her headphones

 

[Throbbing Angel]

These are on offer again, £29.90 for new, £24.99 for 'excellent condition refurbished'

Got a pair of these a few days ago, they're not bad and mainly used for winter travelling, also have to say the Anker CS is pretty good too, had a pair of 3i earbuds and the left one went faulty after 8 months of daily use, went through all the standard "have you tried this?" stuff in back and forth emails but eventually they did replace them under warranty.

Nice deal on some earbuds. Mine arrived today and were easy to set up and on first listen sound decent.

Yes! Bought some for me, was so impressed I bought some for my partner. Absolute bliss for supermarket shopping, busy public transport, concentrating on work. Such a bargain.
