Costumers Product Reviews

Pros

I was fortunate enough to get a pre-order discount via Anker/Soundcore for the Life Q30's, but I wouldn't feel out of pocket if I'd paid full price.

From the moment I opened the box to find the smart and well-made storage case, to actually getting hold of the headphones themselves, it's all been impressive.

The 'phones are just the right weight, hold on to my head comfortably and they adjust with a firm but satisfying movement.

The headband is soft on my bald head and after wearing for 6-8 hours a day listening to Spotify and taking/making calls, the cups are still welcoming. Controls on the headphones take a couple of days to master, but they work as they're designed to.

Battery life is right on the money too; I got about 42hrs out of them on their first full charge, a mix of music, calls and approx 8hrs with ANC on. If I only need to charge them on a weekend, then I'm very happy.

Connecting to my personal Android phone via NFC was as simple as a tap and to add the work phone via Bluetooth took very little effort - the supplied start-up guide covered what I needed.

Zero drop-outs on either connection and very clear on calls; my colleagues have commented about the recent improvement in call quality as I've switched from using the Soundcore Life P2 buds to these headphones.

Music is now a treat as the accompanying Soundcore app allows for many different EQs (personal favourites are Acoustic and Rock) which give a whole new life to songs. Treble is clear and not too high, bass can either be a boom or just the deeper rumblings that you didn't realise make a song so good. The sometimes awkward middle of the soundscape gets picked up well - The Masterplan by Oasis has many levels of an orchestra and I've heard new little extras for the first time in 25 years thanks to the Life Q30's.

The Active Noise Cancellation was the primary feature I was interested in and it doesn't disappoint.

Working from home means that at 3.30pm when the kids get home, there's more distractions. Not anymore. I switch on ANC and the background noise of screams and shouts from downstairs disappears.

I can't comment on travel yet but I expect these should perform admirably.

Having tried on a few (very expensive) models from Beats, I can happily say I'm glad I didn't commit to them and took a chance on these.

Well made, great sound, excellent features, another winner from the Anker/Soundcore range!

Cons

If like me, you're looking for a pair of high quality, Bluetooth headphones for all your lockdown Zoom meetings, the Soundcore Life Q30 certainly appear to fit the bill, especially at the launch price point. I was pretty exciting to receive them, so that I could ditch my company-provided Sennheiser wired headphones and untether myself from my laptop. First impressions were great - they're beautifully made, hugely comfortable, and the sound quality is amazing for my working/focus music, especially with the really effective noise-cancelling switched on.

At the time, that's where the good news ended. I tried to use them on my next Zoom call, and found that Zoom could barely detect any sound from the headphones' microphones. Disaster! Anker customer support were incredible - very responsive, and tried to help me solve the problem, but nothing worked. They sent a replacement pair, but the problems persisted. I thought all hope was lost. Fortunately, the pace of Anker's technical team is such that within a matter of a few weeks a firmware fix was released which was easy to install from the Soundcore app on my phone, and now I'm a very happy user! My faith in Anker has been fully restored, and I would recommend these to anyone who wants premium quality at a very reasonable price.
