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.

Title: Great Sound and Comfortable Fit
Review: The Soundcore Anker Life Q20 headphones have impressed me with their sound quality and noise cancellation. They are slightly tighter than my Bose headphones, but surprisingly still very comfortable for long listening sessions. The battery life is excellent, and the build feels solid. I’ve bought two for my kids for a fraction of the cost of my bose, but I find myself using them more now. Overall, a fantastic value for anyone looking for quality headphones without breaking the bank.

Title: Superb quality and sound at a price you are sure to ❤️
Review: These headphones are totally worth buying! I am going to buy another pair just to have them on hand because I like them and am so impressed by the quality of the sound, the fit and comfort of them them, as well as the noise canceling feature. They are super easy to set up the Bluetooth connection. The controls are much more user friendly than other headphones I have had, so that is a plus.I have been burdened with extremely loud construction outside and inside of my apt building. They are working on the bridge outside and cutting and moving all materials outside my window for the 2 floors above me that they are still being worked on in what was an old cotton mill. I have been really struggling since April. But these have saved my sanity! 💖 I can finally enjoy my new apt without listening to construction noise from 6 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. M-F. They honestly work really well and you cannot beat the cost!!! I cannot afford the leading brands, so these are the best alternative to those. I highly recommend them. I don’t think you will be disappointed. 😁

Title: No noise cancelling, instead this is more like pump up the volume
Review: Normally, Anker products are really good, but these are dissapointing.If these where just headphones, they would be fine, they are comfortable, sound good (not audiophile good, but good enough), look kinda good (if a tad cluncky). But these are supposed to be noise cancelling headphones. And they do not cancel noise at all.The only discernible effect when you enable noise cancelling is that the headphones pump up the volume of what you are listening, but, once you compensate for that, the external sound dampening you get is the same that you would get by just the cushions of the headphones.Mind you, I tested with a punny Nokia E71 playing TMBG’s Call_connected_through_the_NSA.mp3 not some hollywood explosion fest. I do not want “world around dissapears” kinds of Noise Cancelling, but if these can’t cancel a punny E71… Well, disappointed/dissapointingEdit #1:The reason I hold Anker in high regard, I because of their customer service, and this is no exception. I posted the review in about July 18, 2020, and today July 21, 2020 they contacted me. At least we know they still have top notch customer support, even during a pandemic.Nonetheless, their sugestions were not very usefull:«- Make sure the NC button is turned on(the NC indicator would turn green) when you want them to cancel noise outside.»Yes, I know very well how to press the button to get the green light, and also, a very nice lady voice says “Noice Cancelling”, so yes, I was 110% (one hundred and ten percent) sure noice cancelling was active.«- Try the headphones in different noisy places with NC on and off and see any difference.»Well, we are under lockdown. When I am able to move out, I have more important thing to do than test noise cancelling headphones. Nonetheless, I’ll try to do it and report back to Anker Customer Support, and to you guys. I’ll also try to get the 10 min silent MP3s from Samir Mezrahito really test this out.Edit #2:I was “finally” able to actuate on Anker product support’s sugestion and “- Try the headphones in different noisy places with NC on and off and see any difference.”.For testing purposes I used the headphones in BlueThooth mode (to eliminate any electrical intereference noise). And used the song “A a a a a a a a a Very good song” by artist Samir Mezrahi, which, as you perhaps know, consists of almost 10 min of silence.I tested in various scenarios:1.) In my car, windows down.2.) In my car windows up.3.) Reving up my car to 2500rpm (in the parking lot).4.) In a bus stop (with buses comming in and out).5.) In the electric stairs of a ghostly empty shopping mall.6.) In a queue to pay for medicines (with ambient music and people talking at moderate volume).7.) Near the air extractor of my home kitchen.My results:1.) If wind blows in the headphones you actually get MUCH MORE noise with NC on than with NC off, so forget using the noise cancelling in a ferry boat, or in a bus with no Air conditioning, or in your car with windows/roof open, or in your bike.2.) The NC was able to diminish humming noises (like the engine), but not clacking noises, or noises derived from potholes and such.3.) The NC was very effective at mitiganting the reeving.4.) The engine noise from the buses was mitigated, but not the clacking or the chatter from the people waiting.5.) Again, the humm of the motor of the staris was mitigated, but not the clacking noises.6.) In the queue, the souund of the air conditioner or the store was somewhat mitigated by the NC, but not the ambient music or the chatter, and that actually ended up being worse, because it made more noticeable the music and chatter.7.) The NC was decent with the air extractor of my kitchen.But, in scenarios 5, 6 & 7, I noticed that the NC tends to cancel the low frequencies, but the high ones are not mitigated at all (currently at my 47yo, i can hear up to 15Khz, so for younger peiople is probably worse), so, actually enabling NC will make any high pitch noice more noticeable (i.e. the frequency responce of the NC is not flat).Finally, if one bought these headphones with NC because the noise made by rain, the AC fan or compressor, or some other noise like that was disturbing, it it will diminish it a little (but not much), but if one bought noise cancelling headphones because one wanted to evade the sound of coworkers talking, or kids playing in the garden or your SO watching TV in the other room, these headphones will do nothing more than what headphones with no NC (and therefore less expensive) would have.Edit #3 (and Final):Anker contacted me, and offered two options, return the item (as a very special consideration, since I am a few MONTHS completely outside of the return window), or get a refund for 20% of the cost, to get a more suitable Item. Since I order to the USoA and then have my Items forwarded to Venezuela, it is a hassle to return Items, so I opted for the refund, and it went smoothly.That is the good thing of going with Anker. The litmus test of a good company comes when things go wrong, and Anker has a stellar reputation for making things right. Upgraded the review from one star to 4, but not on the account of the product itself, but rahter, due to the excellent customer service.

Title: Solid Value — Way Better Than I Expected For The Price!
Review: Got the Soundcore Anker Life Q20 for daily commutes and background office work, and honestly — it punches far above its price. The sound hits crisp and full, with bass that has real kick when you double-tap the play button. The hybrid noise cancelling does a surprisingly good job muting road noise and chatter, so I could actually focus while working or relaxing on flights. Memory-foam earcups make long listening sessions comfortable — I forgot I had them on until someone spoke to me. Battery life is a beast: one charge lasts forever (great for travel or long workdays).If you want a dependable, no-frills set of headphones that deliver quality sound, comfort, and endurance without emptying your wallet — these are worth it.

Review: 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.KLANGQUALITÄT: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 übermäßig 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 Straße 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.STABILITÄT/VERARBEITUNGSQUALITÄT: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 großartig an, und ich habe das Gefühl, dass diese definitiv eine Weile halten werden (und ich werde diese Bewertung aktualisieren, wenn sich das ändert, haha).GERÄUSCHUNTERDRÜCKUNG: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 gleichmäßiger 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 großartig, 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

Review: 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.

Review: Après avoir eu différents casques (Taotronics 90 et Mpow H21) dans cette tranche de prix je n’ai gardé que celui-ci. Je peux affirmer que le soundcore Q20 life est le plus équilibré de tous. Tout d’abord 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 !! Lorsqu’on active l’ANC le son devient tout de suite plus petit! vraiment dommage….. En revanche le micro du Mpow H21 s’en sort un peux mieux que les 2 autres.Pour conclure le soundcore Q20 est vraiment le meilleur rapport qualité prix. D’abord parce que la qualité du son est top et digne d’un bon casque et parce que l’ANC est vraiment bon. Bien meilleur de ce qu’on peut trouver dans cette fourchette de prix.Ma femme possède également un Bose QC35II et le Soundcore Q20 n’a pas à rougir en terme de ANC et de qualité de son.EXCELLENT 👌🏻

Review: *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.
