Update Dec 2023- These headphones are still as awesome as the day I received them in 2019! Ankar is truly hard to beat. Just in case you’re looking for a pair I can vouch for the quality of these.
I’ve had these headphones since end of December 2019, gotten for flight over the holidays. Tried out both Bose noice Cancelling headphones at local brick & mortar store, but the price caused me to pause. On to Amazon where I found these, better price, would arrive before my flight, sounded like a deal worth a shot after reading everything about them what did I have to lose with Amazon’s return policy & Anker’s reputation for quality.
I’ve had great chargers, other electronic items by Anker with great results. They arrived on time well packaged, impressive from the start, but sound quality sealed the deal.
Back to Anker headphones, I love them! The sound quality is amazing, when I have ANC on I can’t hear anything but music, the outside noise is indeed cancelled. Even on my really bad flight (another story) a guy wanted to test them against his B newest headphones, so we switched for a test. He said he wish he had known about Ankers quality & price, they were impressive not that he would give up the B set, but would definitely buy them as a spare or an extra pair to use for other activities, he couldn’t believe the price. He went straight to Amazon asked me if the pair he chose were the same as mine, they were & he ordered them. That kind of confirmed I have a great pair of anc headphones & didn’t pay $$$ for them,
They pair easily and are comfortable - until I’ve worn for hours then my shades/glasses are indented in my skull, time for a break, but that’s after hours of wearing-enjoying great sounding music 4-6 hrs & battery is still strong, time fly by.
There are only 2 minor suggestions for Anker regarding these headphones 1) add to Soundcore app please (after thought I don’t know if it’s needed unless to customize equalizer) the volume can be controlled on the headphones. 2) the headband could use a slight redesign. Wearing them while working out, doing lawn work or inside cleaning, cooking, always moving about (excellent BT range btw), the top of headband pulls my hair as the headband is adjustable it tends to slide a wee bit & my hair gets pulled so I have to adjust them & keep going, I’ve no idea how they could do this it’s something I noticed when trying out my son's. He bought a cheap pair of JBL headphones for lawn mowing, they do fit a little better but don’t compare to Ankers sound quality, imho Would love JBL type fit on Anker Life Q20 hybrid ANC headphones!
Taking phone calls while wearing headphones works great, I asked how did I sound, fine he said, then we laughed when I told him I was listening to music on my Ankers when he called & I took the call while wearing my headphones. Neither of us had any problems with quality of call. Volume is easy to find & adjust the multifunction button is easy to use for music or calls.
They come with the charging cable, though I wish more companies included the wall plug in,I don’t always have a spare just ling around, ok so I never have a spare just laying about. Also the aux cable is included though I haven’t used that feature yet. A drawstring pouch to put them in, which was good as I didn’t have a case to put them in for my flight & no time to get one. Instructions are well written Anker products are always first class
Love these headphones, the ANC & overall sound quality at this price point is a gift that keeps on giving. The quality of this model looks & sounds like the much higher price headphones, maybe better than some. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy for a gift as they come gift wrap ready or a gift of music for me.
Overall Ankers entry into the headphone, earbud market is welcomed. I wouldn’t hesitate to try them out if you’re looking for headphones with ANC Fantastic sound, that doesn’t break the budget to tears, give them a listen I think you’re going to love them.
Simply put my Anker Life Q20 ANC headphones are fantastic in quality and sound. I’m not an audiophile but I can’t find a thing disappointing in these, not quality or sound. I like a variety of music & I hear good bass, mid tones & treble, vocal it’s all there. As said for everything including quality these headphones deliver at a price that doesn’t break the bank & with Ankers outstanding customer service is amazing. I can honestly say Anker SoundCore is definitely impressive, just as their charging cables, & other electronic devices that was my first introduction to Anker products. I’m sure I’ll look at their Bluetooth speakers soon.
Sorry for overly long review, there’s so many outstanding elements that I feel are important for customers to know when spending your money,I try to offer as much info I’ve experienced as possible, I’ve relied on Amazon customer reviews when making a purchase, they’re brutally honest good or bad & I appreciate that.
I’ve had & used these headphones since late 22nd December, tonight is 25 July enough time to really evaluate them, they’ve exceeded my expectations, I would definitely recommend, most of all I would buy them again.
Thanks if you did read this long review, good intentions to help others as they shop.
UPDATE 12 August a friend of mine used my Ankers while visiting. He called back he had received his very own Anker Life Q 20 headphones. That says a lot about the sound & quality whilst respecting the customers wallet, he was so happy with his new headphones & that I recommended Ankers.
Thanks again to Amazon shoppers, Amazon & Anker
UPDATE: if you’ve read my review you know I’ve had this set of headphones since Dec 2019 it’s Nov 29 2023. I thought I would need to replace them this week but not so fast! Removed them from the pouch they came with, paired with new iPhone and wore them while preparing dinner continuing until bedtime always after midnight. The quality of sound, the hours of comfort while carrying on with everything needed to be done, the joy of listening to many genres of music was fantastic even taking a call.
In 2019 I think there was 1 color choice, sure I’d loved to have had the choices Anker has today but I didn’t buy them as a fashion statement but for the Anker quality, outstanding customer service in every product they put the Anker name on. These headphones have not diminished in sound quality whether I’m jamming as I go through daily chores, or taking or making phone calls while wearing this same pair of headphones.
In this current economic environment I’m thrilled for Anker’s dedication to quality while delivering headphones that are affordable. And providing a fantastic choice
I wanted Amazon shoppers to know they have a choice if shopping for headphones that doesn’t sacrifice sound or quality or lasting performance. When I’m looking for another set of headphones or the Anker Liberty Air EarPods or the many chargers I’ve bought, I always look for Anker/Soundcore first I know the quality and their outstanding customer support
Thanks everyone Happy Shopping

OVER ear/ GLASSES wearer
I know the pictures are odd for scale lol but i didnt have a ruler handy. My ears fit INSIDE the cushion holes, they do NOT sit on top of my ears at all. They do not press my ears against my glasses frames which is the most important thing i was looking for. Comfort 100/10Sound: music sounds great. No issues with bass but i dont listen to a lot of super bass heavy music. Just normal stuff, so that isnt something i pay attention to. If you are into electronic and bass heavy you may notice it, one other review mentioned it but i honestly cant tell the difference there.The noise cancelation is good, I honestly had no idea that was done by sound currents. One of the first headphones ive owned that does it. And you can turn it on and off, idk if that is a normal feature for NC headphones...Your own voice seems quieter when it is enabled. Which is pretty cool. I can still hear the tv but clearly with no music playing but its a lot quieter.With music playing i hear nothing by my own voice and the music.With cancelation off, the music is ever so slightly louder, but because of the big soft cushion its not like people next to me are staring because my music is at max volume. They dont seem to notice unless i remove them from my ears.My husband didnt notice the difference in noise cancelation being on and off with music. He cant hear that because its a very slight change. He notices it when he speaks and with no sound and the tv on though. "It cut out white noise which is cool" -the husband.The charger...Another D shaped micro usb. I was comparing headphones and i could have sworn these were C shaped, but i kust have been mistaken. Because im disappointed. No one really enjoys that one pesky micro usb charger when everything seems to take C chargers lately. Not a big deal, but ever so slightly annoying. So dont lose the cord.Overall i love these. Just wish the charger was shaped better

I bought these about a year ago and came back to write this review. That is how much I enjoy them. These are the only headphones that I find comfortable, have nice sound quality, and are sturdy. Comfort is a big one for me because I wear glasses and find most headphones uncomfortable after a while, but these are the exception. The padding is nice and soft and easy to clean. These are my everyday headphones, and they have withstood a year's worth of going to the gym, playing video games, travel, and listening to music.
Noise cancellation is not perfect but good enough to make plane rides tolerable and studying enjoyable, which in the case of 60 dollars, is beyond my expectations. Sound is waaaay better than other competitor headphones I have bought and tried in this price range. I am no audio expert, but there was a noticeable difference, and for an everyday enjoyer of sounds, I was incredibly pleased. Seriously made me regret getting all the headphones I bought before these. They may not be the aesthetic ones you see people use online, but they have done such a great job over the year, and for the price point, I cannot recommend these enough.

These are my *absolute* favorite budget friendly headphones
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2024
***Update: I got gifted nicer headphones for my birthday (i.e. $300 more expensive ones), and these are honestly comparable in terms of how much I love them. While the newer ones have better sound quality and have better noise cancellation (which I would hope so due to the price point), in terms of comfort, I like these more. So I will continue to use these for everyday use, especially when on the go, and the other ones for editing and enjoying music and movies at home :) But this is just a testament to how much I like them, and how much I appreciate the price.Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2024
