I have a 5-6-year-old pair of Bose QC 35, so I was in the market for a new pair of headphones for boppin around, walking the dogs, etc. Picked up the Q30s for $75, updated the firmware, use the EQ app, and they are by far the best value for the buck. I'm an Apple guy and cannot justify in a zillion years the price of the Airpod Maxs. They are already a great value. If they last over time, this is the best value on the market today. Anker makes solid products.
I was wondering, how the sound quality of Bose QC 35 compares to the one of Soundcore Q30? I used the QC 35 in the past and i am thinking of getting the Soundcore ones. Your answer would really help me!
I owned the XM3s and I really liked them. My wife then bought the Q30s and I tried them and I was blown away. I sold the XM3s and bought a pair of the Q30s. The ANC is better on Sony headphones but the sound quality on the Q30s punches way above its price.

When I was shopping around a week ago for a good pair of headphones, I originally picked up the Sony WH CH 510 for $40 and I thought they sounded fantastic for the price. I then tried them on my wife's tablet that she listens to music on and they sounded better than on my phone so I gave them to her. I then decided to go get me a different pair of headphones and after seeing a 4.7 rating on the Walmart website, I decided to get the Sound Core Life Tunes (aka Q30 if bought online) and I was blown away with how great they sounded for being a $80 pair of headphones. I think for the most part people are buying Bose, Sony or Apple headphones because of the name brand itself just like they were with the Beats headphones awhile back. Yes a $300-$600 or more pair of headphones are going to sound great, but in my opinion the $80 Sound Core Q30 headphones by Anker sound just about as good as a pair of Bose or Sony for a fraction of the price. You could buy 4 pair of Sound Core headphones for less than the cost of the latest pair of Bose or Sony ANC headphones and give 3 of the pairs away as gifts to family members who probably wouldn't care that they weren't a pair of Bose because they are that good.
Fantastic review. I already bought the Q30 yesterday before I saw this review but you made it clear that it was the right decision for me. I don't care about all the extra features of the Sony I just want good sound quality and decent noise cancellation which the Q30 seem to provide.
I bought a pair 6 months ago & unfortunately the left side cup stopped working (and the non Bluetooth wire connection stopped working also) HOWEVER, one call to Anker UK (Soundcore) support & they were absolutely brilliant..no hassle, sent me a replacement pair within 4 days & return label to return my faulty pair. It was so hassle free. Brilliant aftercare experience & great budget headphones which surprisingly sound great for the price.
I've been seeing a lot of great reviews on these until I saw one where oluv gadgets a known audiophile compared these to the m4 and these were superior in sound quality. Me already owned a pair of Sony's decided to get the q30 and well put them on and heard them and was impressed for the price then I started digging in the eq and they sound even better. So this Oluv guy recommended his custom eq settings and damn they sound better than the Sony even when trying to eq to Sony they just didn't get as good as the q30. soundcore has a winner here. I'm still shocked by the sound quality you can get out of these. The Sony has better ANC no competition there but ANC is pretty great for 79 bucks. I can't wait to see what they do with their next headphones whenever they make them. Even bought two pairs of q30s after as a gift for my Mom and nephew and custom tune them as well. They were very happy with the sound quality.
@@gustavoreview These are my first ANC Headphones so I have no comparison regarding the ANC, keep this is mind. I think they are awesome! The sound quality is very nice. I can hear instruments and parts of the music I couldn’t hear before. The ANC works very good. Tested on a very loud car ride over 7 hours. When I had to take them off I realized how freaking loud it actually was in the car. I use them going shopping and it is nice to just phase out and forget everything around me. Working in home office with playing kid and talking and working wife in the background I totally get lost in the quietness when listening to music. The double paring is very usefully. I also use them to watch movies on tv and they are really nice. Battery life is amazing! I charged them once and used them for: 7 to 8 hours listening to music in very loud car ride. 2 to 3 hours listening to movies 2 to 3 hours listening to music while shopping. 1 to 2 hours just listening to music in home office. All of the above with ANC active and volume Limited to 85 dB by my iPhone while using them at maybe 80% of the volume range (so they actually would turn up a lot more, I think regarding the capability of the headphones I use them at around 60% to 70% of their volume range). Battery status still says high. I am very pleased and absolutely satisfied!
@@Nobody_Atall77324 that's awesome I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for sharing, just one more question.. About the comfort, would you say it gets your ears hot, or it presses your head too much ?
@@gustavoreview They are very comfortable! I think the longest I wore them was about 3 to 4 hours and I had no problems. In a warm environment (at Home with heaters turned up) my ears did get a little bit sweaty but this did not disturb me. I regularly wear them at least 2 to 3 hours at a time and they are comfortable. The padding ist really nice, the clamping ist not so hard and the headband ist also absolutely soft and nice to wear. I hope this helps you.
I have the Q30 headphones; hands down, they are exceptional for the money. I got mine a few months back for 71 euros, and honestly, they're super fine. I have never tried the Sony XM4s, but I was wondering if the Q30s are so good for the price, then how would the likes of XM4s be. But videos like this tell me not to bother and to save my money, which is what I'll do. Thanks.

Just received my Q30's . Thank you Amazon. Initial sound check not impressive. Knew about the Anker app off Google. Got to the equalizer quickly, boosted bottom base and vocals and the sound came alive. Much better. Build quality not premium, but still OK.
I had the q30 and decided to buy the XM4 on sale. I read so many good reviews, I thought they were going to be much more comfortable and much better, they really aren’t. I was surprised, they aren’t much more comfortable and the noise cancellation is good but really there isn’t a big difference.
You mean the sony's don't have better ANC than q30s? I got the q30s but they don't block any talking/chewing/sniffling/coughing noises which is what I need. Do the sonys not block those either?
I remember watching this video years ago and it helped convince me to buy the Q30s and I have loved every aspect of using them. Long story short however, they have seemingly changed the way they manufacture their headphones causing awful sound in comparison so I have been looking for an alternative not from soundcore. It's kinda crazy that I have to spend like 4x as much just to get something comparable but I am now thinking of buying XM4. There really is nothing else as good as soundcores around their price range so I'm thinking of just going all out and buying the XM4s
I just bought a pair of the Sound Core Life Tunes (Q30) and they are amazing for the money! I had a pair of Beats Studio 3s and they shorted out on me after I wore them to the gym, obviously not very sweat resistant. In fact that was the second pair of Beats Studios that broke on me after less than a year of use. I was getting ready to buy another pair and thought to myself, why? Let me try something else. I’m 54, I have tinnitus, I probably can’t hear well enough to warrant getting expensive headphones. These things are amazing. I couldn’t be happier with them and their associated app for my phone.
@@pastoryoda2789 My honest review is Q30 is good for any sound related. For GYM you might need to pad your top Headphone with cushion so it will not slip easily
@@axzel4038 I've been using these for 3 years now and the sound quality is just as good as day 1. I recently also bought a pair of Sennheiser Momentum 4s for $300 but returned them after a week after realizing the sound quality difference just wasn't worth it for me. 3 years in I've had to replace the earpads once a year (super easy, also ~$10), but thats about it.
Nice video to watch although i have the q10s and im not willing to spend some money on new headphones but i really value ur opinion u r the one who convinced me to buy my q10s and im really satisfied with them, keep on the good work :)

So I've had the Q20 since June 2020 and the ear cuffs have now completely broken off. Since they are so inexpensive I'm hard pressed not to just replace them with the same, however it irks me to put money on something that I expect will break the same way again. I've bought and am testing the Xm4 and while they do seem very nice, but I'm already feeling nostalgic for the physical buttons and overall simplicity of the Q20. With the Q20 there are no companion apps required, it has dual pairing, and can charge while listening which is huge for a dual purpose work/play headset.
Nice review. I was looking for wireless headphones. In my country, the Q30's are not available but the Q35's on the other hand is available for 106 dollars and the xm4's are available for 256 dollars.
EQ settings really vary from person to person. Everyone's ears are different and have different preferences. I'm not sure that my opinion on on EQ settings will offer much value.
I've heard both sony and Soundcore Q30 Soundcore sounds better than sony anyday Plus Soundcore app has Equalizer if you get right EQ it destroys sonys in sound quality Maybe you disagree with me but it's True Soundcore sounds better than sony anyday

Soundcore makes some great stuff. I've got the q20s and the q30s. The 30s are amazing headphones. I agree with you completely about getting the q30s verses sony. I couldn't stand the cheap plastic feel of the xm4s when I had them briefly. The q30s sound great for anything from music to audio books to audio dramas. When you can choose which E-Q setting you like, that is such a bonus. The thing I like about anker/soundcore, is they make really good products, but you don't break the bank when you get something from them. If you don't own a pair of either life q30s, or the newer life q35s, get yourself a set and you won't be disappointed.
@@YonkoRedShanks Hello Basil. Yes, the anker q30 headphones would work very well for watching/listening to movies. However, anker has a new set of headphones out the space q45 headphones that are their newest headphone. They are $150 on amazon. I don't yet have a pair of those, but I will get them soon. They sound really good. If you can afford it, I'd grab a set of the new space q45 headphones. Good luck.
TechOdyssey The q10s were the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever owned. Volume level was plenty loud. Worst thing about the sound? I played Fortune Son by CCR and it sounded like John Fogerty was 20 feet behind the band and singing into a metal trash can.
Great video thanks for the review. Would the Anker fit better or a bit tighter on a small head? I’ve owned the Sony XM4’s but there were just too loose for me.
I need a pair of anc headphones with deep thumping bass. Which ones do you recommend me? I have the life q10 and thats the type of sound signature I'm looking for
@@kinlow4293 I don't trust in skullcandy anymore, I bought the crusher 360, venue, and og crusher wireless but ALL of them break easily or have a lot of problema and I don't live in US so I can't ask for a refund or a change. Anker looks a a very responsable company so I look for these anker q30. Also, they release two new colors (pink and blue) and look awesome.
The controls are amazing on the q30 ans q35 too. Very easy buttons. The touch controls on other headphones are annoying. Do you think xm4s are better for rock and louder? My 35s are amazing for those
I have Soundcore Q30 and can tell the headphone is absolutely amazing! High quality audio + ANC + Type c + long battery endurance + fast charger + equalizer app... all this stuff for just $80 :-)

Just the video I needed, been thinking about choosing between these two exact headphones. I'd like to buy the XM4 because I'm so hyped about it, lot of good reviews, I've tried it as well on a store and compared it to my SHP9000 and I was really amazed with the difference. I played music at highest volume and it didn't hurt my ears. It's really a great experience. You'll enjoy every second of it. One thing you just have to consider is the price. Hoping to try the Q30 soon to see their difference so I can finally decide which one to buy. Thank you sir for this very helpful review!

I am about to get my Q30 tomorrow. I was just wondering, If i set an eq to my headphones using my phone, will the eq reset whenever I connect/use the headphones to another device? If I use Aux will the eq reset to stock aswell
I got mine a few days ago, just tested it out again to be sure and no it doesn't change. I'm connected to both my laptop and phone, and when I change the EQ from the App, the setting applies when I play audio from my laptop as well. When you use the Aux the EQ stays the same as what you have set.
A guy whose channel is named Oluv's gadgets said that Sony's sound like total crap with a stock EQ and I do believe him cause he makes unbiased in-depth reviews of headphones and speakers. In other words, he is not sponsored by any of the companies. He even goes as far as to provide audio samples with his binaural microphones. Just looking at the price of Sony's is enough to make me sick. The Q30s sound way better and with a personal EQ you are able to adjust them even more so than the Sony's which is great in my opinion. The only thing in which Sony's have the edge is the noise cancelling. Soundcore gave Sony a good run for their money with these. So glad to see "budget" ANC headphones getting better and better. Nice video btw, love it :)
I did listen to the Sony's at the store and didn't like them either. They sounded muddy to my ears, lacking highs and transparency. ANC was better than the QC35's though which sound I liked better.
Hey, thanks so much for this review. I wasn't thinking about buying the Sony, but was interested in your opinion about the Q30. I liked very much the ancle from where you are comparing those two - and more importantly - putting this ancle into words that make it clear. English is not my first language, so I might not be doing so good in expressing exactly what I mean. Let's put it this way: I unerstood your overall priorities, which is important in order to judge if they match mine, and therefore, if this is the right review for my needs. Subscribed!

I got my Q30 for $35 opened box. I just needed some ANC for public transport and they do the job better than Airpods Pro because of the passive noise isolation.
I think with reasonable use it can be expected to hold up for a long time. If you're beating them up and throwing them around, working out in them, etc... they will wear down faster, but I find them to be durable
@@fmkhan213 damn I’m looking for good budget headphones I already have airpods I take them whenever I’m out of the house but I kind of enjoy headphones a whole lot more and I ran into these and read a bunch of positive reviews sound leak is something that is annoying to me as my AirPods do it too but since this will be only for home they should be fine
@@viperomen914 Have been using these for about 3 months. These are probably the one of the best sounding headphones on the market with ANC and multiple Equalizer settings. Absolutely love it!
I've just put some cheap pleather pads over the original ones after they had flattened. Picked Sennheiser 4.40/4.50 BT compatible. Also with a soft guitar pick, the pad holders can be carefully removed (did it once for washing the pads) and clicked back on. Proper way would be to remove the original pads from the oval-shaped holders (they are glued on), then stuff the holders into the Sennheiser pads and click them back in place. I just liked the extra comfort of the two layers :D
@@DIY-Morti Thank you! That was very useful. Also, I heard that Soundcore may just make some replacement ear cups for the Q30s. I don't really know whether it will happen or not, but it seems likely after some amazon reviews talking about the ear cups.
thanks for the video. it's very encouraging to know that. I bought the Q30 for 49 dollars, in my country (Brazil) this is already a high value. It is not feasible to buy one for 300 dollars.
he is lying they would NEVER sell for that price, they would lose money. The lowest price it did go was 65,99. You can check with price evolution tools. And he is in brazil, what a liar
Also, brazilian monetary unit is the BRL. And 1 brl=0,18 dollar usd... So he literallt bought it in Brazil in 8,95 dollar usd if we convert brl to usd. Which is even more impossible than 65,99 dollar usd
I like your review nothing too jazzy straight shooter comparing it with reality use. I like the analogy that our ears dooo adjust. I'm no audiophile but 3 to 4 times the price is not justifiable. Hope this comment help with the algorithm. Thank you and I've liked and subscribed.
Thank you for calling out the rediculous money these things cost. I mean seriously, a piece of plastic with a microchip and two speakers....350 bucks? It's the principal of the matter here. 2500% profit margin is financial rape.
@@nishantsanghvi2441 i agree with you. My best friend own an XM4 and me, the Soundcore Life Q30, i personally feel there is a difference with XM4 better in terms of all aspects, but...only by a 10-15% margin. Hence, it all boils down to personal financial spending priority. If you feel the price is worth it, just go for it. (Like my best friend did).
I tried the AirPods Max in the Apple shop the other day and they are terrible for that price. Highest volume was so low too. Worth nowhere near that. I bought the Soundcore Q30s because I was curious to why everyone spoke highly of them so much and I’m glad I did :)
Thanks for the great review I’m looking forward to for a great headphone with great Quality plus great boss also are these really great ?? Better than the jbl also?
Hi! Ia it possibile to use this headphone for work (conference call)? Does the microphone work well? Usually i work in a room with 2 person, so there is constantly talk-noise. I'd like to buy a versatile headphone, for listen to music but to work too.
We're far from poor and I purchased a pair these for my daughter and her husband for their trip to S. Korea. For the price they're pretty unbeatable and if you lose them you're not going to have heart failure. For everyday listening around the house I prefer open back headphones... Oddly enough I am an audiophile .. if money is no object I can certainly help you spend it. My 2¢ is to buy a Sennheiser $170 58X / 150 ohms or $220 6XX / 300 ohms from Drop and if you can wait and you're okay with spending $1,100 they've listed an 8XX / 300 ohms. For both the 6XX and 8XX I'd probably recommend a Class-A DAC for most people. Even 150 ohms is hard to push with most DACs but there's a lot more options and for a lot less money. One of those scenarios where you're doubling if not tripling the price to get 5% more...
Where I can buy the Jabra Elite 85h for $150? I'm in Mexico and in Amazon MX they're on sale by $7,000 MXN ($350 USD approx). 🙁 Excellent comparison dude! Thanks!
I'm not familiar with the Skullcandy headphones. Check out my buddy @eljefereviews and his video - th-cam.com/video/P9CNiMrzMLc/w-d-xo.html - He's the master of all things audio. But I think the Q30s will likely be a winner for you in this category.
Good review, thanks! But i have a question. I want the headphones for work. Using them mostly for conference calls. I look at them cause they say Q30s have ambient sound cancelation on microphone. I have 4 kids and thats my main topic. To have others in my room watching TV, but the one that im talking with dont listen another sound diferent than my voice. Do you know if Q30s are good doing that?
How's your noise canceling? I got these and I'm not sure if the noise cancelling is just bad or mine are broken. It dampens sounds like highways and vacuuming a bit, but does absolutely nothing for chewing/sniffling/tapping,etc. If anything is makes them louder by dampening the sound around it. But is this just the way they are or are mine faulty?
Do you think it's worth it upgrading to the Q30s? I own the Q20s and I like them, but I wanted them to cancel better the higher frequencies. Do the Q30s do it much better? Thanks in advance!
@@fa14bi-78 Do you know any video that teaches how to set it right? Bought the Q30s, waiting for them to arrive here, but I'm already worried about this custom EQ. I have no experience with this, so...
@@EVILAKUMA yeah, i did, tho i didn't like the results. still waiting for someone to give me a good one, because by now i just prefer the standard equalization
Everybody talks wonders about the Q30, I just bought them, they're on the way. I paid a little less than a $100 since I'm shipping them to Mexico and I have to pay extra taxes and the shipping, still a good deal, here they cost around $150. I'm excited.
I won't be reshooting this video with the 35s but yes, I would recommend the 35s over the Sonys as well. The LDAC is nice for sure but doesn't even work with Apple because it doesn't support the CODEC so there is zero benefit over the 30s.
I love your channel and the q30s are so good. I purchased them at Walmart and they were available and on sale and I was fortunate cuz some ppl are waiting to get there's. I've had Sony's and these are pretty close. Just FYI if u buy them from Walmart and buy them online ..they will be called something different and the logo on the cups will be either gold or silver. Manufacturer gets a lightly different edition then buying at store but the actual headphones are the same.
It's not about ANC or sound, Sony has a history of creating sounds and sound electronics, so when you buy Sony product of any, its the share of the history you acquire to be part of, Money comes and go so as products, but history remains. Cheaper thing don't last, as most copied the legendary of the game. Sony MX4 will continue to be the best headphones right now and its durability will last longer is what Sony products do.
@@TechOdyssey Sony will always be Sony with the history behind it. Many electronics companies came and went but Sony still the best in that department of stereo. And I know what I'm talking about. Remember it's not just the headphones you buy, it's more about the standard and the formula behind Sony products. Hope you understand what I'm talking about.
@@Dan1one1 I understand what you're saying. Brand reputation is important and it justifies a price higher than no name brands but it also isn't a reason I'm going to pay $300 over $79
@@TechOdyssey it's a good point you're saying, however Sony when they made these XM4 headphone they consider that they are the best ANC headphones in the market now, and it's standard of history on making best stereo, hence the price. But these other brands they are doing their best to introduce themselves into the market so they have to hook bait the customers to be drawn to them by making their product cheaper than the best out there. When you wear Sony headphones of any kind since child hood up to now, it's makes anyone feel good of the product and whom so ever sees it. Now that's the PRODUCT that feels Good inside out.
@@Dan1one1 New generation can still change. Thats how Samsung for new generation are just ok than some old one. On the High End, people can choose Apple which as much as their shady stuff, their phone and softwere are solid even more solid than gaming phone. On medium and lower, theres Xiaomi and those chinese phone, takes time to beat samsung but ofc crawling from the bottom are marketing strategy too. Only old guy who think theres pride because they are with their history. New generation doesnt, they just need something that really value to performance. So yes, sony would still stay afloat but things can change, and too many variation to sell also limit them to make much more perfect devices. Anker doesnt give a sht about it, they go all in. Which new generation kind of thing like.
Bought Q30 for 69.99€ in Italy. I’m new to the world of headphones but….come on, 70€ is the price everyone can invest on headphones. No way for to spend 300 or 600 bucks.
Got Q30, when I put them on (without even turning them on), it felt like the left can is heavier than the right one, moreover it gave me an effect of swimmer's ear, so I flipped them around and the left can gave me the same feeling on the right ear...Did I get a faulty unit?
Dear Anker, I am writing to express my disappointment with your product, the Q30 headphones. After only six months of use, the plastic frame of the headphones cracked. When I reached out to your support team, they claimed it was due to misuse, despite the fact that there are numerous reports of similar issues online. I have tried to resolve this issue by emailing your support team, but have yet to receive a satisfactory response after a month or two. As a customer, I expect better from a company like yours, and I hope that you will take swift action to address this issue. Dont buy this product
I have a 5-6-year-old pair of Bose QC 35, so I was in the market for a new pair of headphones for boppin around, walking the dogs, etc. Picked up the Q30s for $75, updated the firmware, use the EQ app, and they are by far the best value for the buck. I'm an Apple guy and cannot justify in a zillion years the price of the Airpod Maxs. They are already a great value. If they last over time, this is the best value on the market today. Anker makes solid products.
I was wondering, how the sound quality of Bose QC 35 compares to the one of Soundcore Q30? I used the QC 35 in the past and i am thinking of getting the Soundcore ones. Your answer would really help me!

When I was shopping around a week ago for a good pair of headphones, I originally picked up the Sony WH CH 510 for $40 and I thought they sounded fantastic for the price. I then tried them on my wife's tablet that she listens to music on and they sounded better than on my phone so I gave them to her. I then decided to go get me a different pair of headphones and after seeing a 4.7 rating on the Walmart website, I decided to get the Sound Core Life Tunes (aka Q30 if bought online) and I was blown away with how great they sounded for being a $80 pair of headphones. I think for the most part people are buying Bose, Sony or Apple headphones because of the name brand itself just like they were with the Beats headphones awhile back. Yes a $300-$600 or more pair of headphones are going to sound great, but in my opinion the $80 Sound Core Q30 headphones by Anker sound just about as good as a pair of Bose or Sony for a fraction of the price. You could buy 4 pair of Sound Core headphones for less than the cost of the latest pair of Bose or Sony ANC headphones and give 3 of the pairs away as gifts to family members who probably wouldn't care that they weren't a pair of Bose because they are that good.
Fantastic review. I already bought the Q30 yesterday before I saw this review but you made it clear that it was the right decision for me. I don't care about all the extra features of the Sony I just want good sound quality and decent noise cancellation which the Q30 seem to provide.
Awesome. Glad I could help.

Brilliant aftercare experience & great budget headphones which surprisingly sound great for the price.
Glad to hear you had such a great customer service experience and got them replaced
I've been seeing a lot of great reviews on these until I saw one where oluv gadgets a known audiophile compared these to the m4 and these were superior in sound quality. Me already owned a pair of Sony's decided to get the q30 and well put them on and heard them and was impressed for the price then I started digging in the eq and they sound even better. So this Oluv guy recommended his custom eq settings and damn they sound better than the Sony even when trying to eq to Sony they just didn't get as good as the q30. soundcore has a winner here. I'm still shocked by the sound quality you can get out of these. The Sony has better ANC no competition there but ANC is pretty great for 79 bucks. I can't wait to see what they do with their next headphones whenever they make them. Even bought two pairs of q30s after as a gift for my Mom and nephew and custom tune them as well. They were very happy with the sound quality.
Yup. They're awesome and hit way above their weight class
Could you please share oluvs eq with me? Im not able to pay for the patreon for a simple eq setting. Thank you very much!
but why when I turn on my Q30 ANC the bass is basically gone and the pressure is so strong that it makes my head hurts?
@@Marv3D can u tell me the EQ preset?
how's it going now?
Thank for this comparison! Your video gave me the last push to ordering the Soundcore Life Q30s. I am looking forward to trying them out.
Nice! Glad I could help. I hope you enjoy them.
What did you think about it?
@@gustavoreview These are my first ANC Headphones so I have no comparison regarding the ANC, keep this is mind.
I think they are awesome!
The sound quality is very nice. I can hear instruments and parts of the music I couldn’t hear before. The ANC works very good. Tested on a very loud car ride over 7 hours. When I had to take them off I realized how freaking loud it actually was in the car. I use them going shopping and it is nice to just phase out and forget everything around me.
Working in home office with playing kid and talking and working wife in the background I totally get lost in the quietness when listening to music.
The double paring is very usefully.
I also use them to watch movies on tv and they are really nice.
Battery life is amazing!
I charged them once and used them for: 7 to 8 hours listening to music in very loud car ride. 2 to 3 hours listening to movies 2 to 3 hours listening to music while shopping. 1 to 2 hours just listening to music in home office. All of the above with ANC active and volume Limited to 85 dB by my iPhone while using them at maybe 80% of the volume range (so they actually would turn up a lot more, I think regarding the capability of the headphones I use them at around 60% to 70% of their volume range). Battery status still says high.
I am very pleased and absolutely satisfied!
@@Nobody_Atall77324 that's awesome I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for sharing, just one more question.. About the comfort, would you say it gets your ears hot, or it presses your head too much ?
@@gustavoreview They are very comfortable! I think the longest I wore them was about 3 to 4 hours and I had no problems. In a warm environment (at Home with heaters turned up) my ears did get a little bit sweaty but this did not disturb me. I regularly wear them at least 2 to 3 hours at a time and they are comfortable. The padding ist really nice, the clamping ist not so hard and the headband ist also absolutely soft and nice to wear.
I hope this helps you.
My sister bought the Q30 and I bought the XM4 the next day. I just love how comfortable the XM4 is. I wore them for 8 hours straight.
The XM4 are super comfortable and lightweight!
I was really contemplating between the Sonys and the Q30s, and this video really pushed me to order the Q30. Can't wait for it to arrive.
Awesome. I hope you enjoy them - and the big savings
How are they?
@@IceCreamCake96 which ones?
@@TechOdyssey Q30
@@IceCreamCake96 yes. They're excellent
I have the Q30 headphones; hands down, they are exceptional for the money. I got mine a few months back for 71 euros, and honestly, they're super fine. I have never tried the Sony XM4s, but I was wondering if the Q30s are so good for the price, then how would the likes of XM4s be. But videos like this tell me not to bother and to save my money, which is what I'll do. Thanks.

They app is an absolute must
I had the q30 and decided to buy the XM4 on sale. I read so many good reviews, I thought they were going to be much more comfortable and much better, they really aren’t. I was surprised, they aren’t much more comfortable and the noise cancellation is good but really there isn’t a big difference.

same. almost bought me a MX4!
You mean the sony's don't have better ANC than q30s? I got the q30s but they don't block any talking/chewing/sniffling/coughing noises which is what I need. Do the sonys not block those either?
I remember watching this video years ago and it helped convince me to buy the Q30s and I have loved every aspect of using them. Long story short however, they have seemingly changed the way they manufacture their headphones causing awful sound in comparison so I have been looking for an alternative not from soundcore. It's kinda crazy that I have to spend like 4x as much just to get something comparable but I am now thinking of buying XM4. There really is nothing else as good as soundcores around their price range so I'm thinking of just going all out and buying the XM4s
Yeah since the q30s and q35s it's not been great. The space ones are dreadful

I just bought a pair of the Sound Core Life Tunes (Q30) and they are amazing for the money! I had a pair of Beats Studio 3s and they shorted out on me after I wore them to the gym, obviously not very sweat resistant.
In fact that was the second pair of Beats Studios that broke on me after less than a year of use. I was getting ready to buy another pair and thought to myself, why? Let me try something else. I’m 54, I have tinnitus, I probably can’t hear well enough to warrant getting expensive headphones.
These things are amazing. I couldn’t be happier with them and their associated app for my phone.
are Q30 good for the gym?

how's it now after months?
@@axzel4038 I've been using these for 3 years now and the sound quality is just as good as day 1. I recently also bought a pair of Sennheiser Momentum 4s for $300 but returned them after a week after realizing the sound quality difference just wasn't worth it for me. 3 years in I've had to replace the earpads once a year (super easy, also ~$10), but thats about it.
How are they now
It sure sucks being ocd and able to research as much as you want but never hear in person, makes you really dig

So I've had the Q20 since June 2020 and the ear cuffs have now completely broken off. Since they are so inexpensive I'm hard pressed not to just replace them with the same, however it irks me to put money on something that I expect will break the same way again. I've bought and am testing the Xm4 and while they do seem very nice, but I'm already feeling nostalgic for the physical buttons and overall simplicity of the Q20. With the Q20 there are no companion apps required, it has dual pairing, and can charge while listening which is huge for a dual purpose work/play headset.
Nice review. I was looking for wireless headphones. In my country, the Q30's are not available but the Q35's on the other hand is available for 106 dollars and the xm4's are available for 256 dollars.
Nice. Glad I could help. Thanks for watching
Thank you for the honest review.
Quick question, any lag on Q30 / XM4 while watching movies on smart TV etc.?
I never connected them up to a TV, but that answer is going to very from TV to TV, based on their Bluetooth and audio capabilities and CODEC support
What do you think about these EQ settings ? th-cam.com/video/2d1OL92TJL8/w-d-xo.html
EQ settings really vary from person to person. Everyone's ears are different and have different preferences. I'm not sure that my opinion on on EQ settings will offer much value.
I've heard both sony and Soundcore Q30
Soundcore sounds better than sony anyday
Plus Soundcore app has Equalizer if you get right EQ it destroys sonys in sound quality
Maybe you disagree with me but it's True Soundcore sounds better than sony anyday
I have a W1000-XM4 and I expected more from his sound quality
Sony also has an EQ.
Listening to your review with the Soundcore Life Q30 headphones! They are GREAT!!!

Soundcore makes some great stuff. I've got the q20s and the q30s. The 30s are amazing headphones. I agree with you completely about getting the q30s verses sony. I couldn't stand the cheap plastic feel of the xm4s when I had them briefly. The q30s sound great for anything from music to audio books to audio dramas. When you can choose which E-Q setting you like, that is such a bonus. The thing I like about anker/soundcore, is they make really good products, but you don't break the bank when you get something from them. If you don't own a pair of either life q30s, or the newer life q35s, get yourself a set and you won't be disappointed.
Imo Q35s are not worth it when compared to the Q30s.
i'm planning to buy the q30 , but my main purpose for them is to watch movies , videos etc ...
my question is are they good ?
@@YonkoRedShanks Hello Basil. Yes, the anker q30 headphones would work very well for watching/listening to movies. However, anker has a new set of headphones out the space q45 headphones that are their newest headphone. They are $150 on amazon. I don't yet have a pair of those, but I will get them soon. They sound really good. If you can afford it, I'd grab a set of the new space q45 headphones. Good luck.

Q30s are significantly better in comfort and sound.

I am about to get my Q30 tomorrow. I was just wondering, If i set an eq to my headphones using my phone, will the eq reset whenever I connect/use the headphones to another device? If I use Aux will the eq reset to stock aswell
I got mine a few days ago, just tested it out again to be sure and no it doesn't change. I'm connected to both my laptop and phone, and when I change the EQ from the App, the setting applies when I play audio from my laptop as well. When you use the Aux the EQ stays the same as what you have set.
As long as you make an account it will save
A guy whose channel is named Oluv's gadgets said that Sony's sound like total crap with a stock EQ and I do believe him cause he makes unbiased in-depth reviews of headphones and speakers. In other words, he is not sponsored by any of the companies. He even goes as far as to provide audio samples with his binaural microphones. Just looking at the price of Sony's is enough to make me sick. The Q30s sound way better and with a personal EQ you are able to adjust them even more so than the Sony's which is great in my opinion. The only thing in which Sony's have the edge is the noise cancelling. Soundcore gave Sony a good run for their money with these. So glad to see "budget" ANC headphones getting better and better. Nice video btw, love it :)
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video
I did listen to the Sony's at the store and didn't like them either. They sounded muddy to my ears, lacking highs and transparency. ANC was better than the QC35's though which sound I liked better.
Hey, thanks so much for this review. I wasn't thinking about buying the Sony, but was interested in your opinion about the Q30.

English is not my first language, so I might not be doing so good in expressing exactly what I mean.

Will there be any replacement cups for the Q30's?
That I don’t know
I've just put some cheap pleather pads over the original ones after they had flattened. Picked Sennheiser 4.40/4.50 BT compatible. Also with a soft guitar pick, the pad holders can be carefully removed (did it once for washing the pads) and clicked back on. Proper way would be to remove the original pads from the oval-shaped holders (they are glued on), then stuff the holders into the Sennheiser pads and click them back in place. I just liked the extra comfort of the two layers :D
@@DIY-Morti Thank you! That was very useful. Also, I heard that Soundcore may just make some replacement ear cups for the Q30s. I don't really know whether it will happen or not, but it seems likely after some amazon reviews talking about the ear cups.
thanks for the video. it's very encouraging to know that. I bought the Q30 for 49 dollars, in my country (Brazil) this is already a high value. It is not feasible to buy one for 300 dollars.

Hi buddy ! Where did you buy this phone for this cheap price ? Ps. I'm from Brazil.
he is lying they would NEVER sell for that price, they would lose money. The lowest price it did go was 65,99. You can check with price evolution tools. And he is in brazil, what a liar
65,99 in US dollar which is one of the strongest in the world
Also, brazilian monetary unit is the BRL. And 1 brl=0,18 dollar usd... So he literallt bought it in Brazil in 8,95 dollar usd if we convert brl to usd. Which is even more impossible than 65,99 dollar usd

Thank you for calling out the rediculous money these things cost. I mean seriously, a piece of plastic with a microchip and two speakers....350 bucks? It's the principal of the matter here. 2500% profit margin is financial rape.

@@nishantsanghvi2441 i agree with you. My best friend own an XM4 and me, the Soundcore Life Q30, i personally feel there is a difference with XM4 better in terms of all aspects, but...only by a 10-15% margin. Hence, it all boils down to personal financial spending priority. If you feel the price is worth it, just go for it. (Like my best friend did).
@@pozer0118 True, but the stupid comment that the guy made was clear that he'd never used xm4's.
Have you ever watched movies with the Sony's? I was just wondering if it's possible to get that rumbling bass from some of the movie scenes.
can an external microphone be plugged into the q30 headphones for gaming use?
Sony xm3 can't use LDAC and Custom EQ at the same time . What kind of sense does that make
I tried the AirPods Max in the Apple shop the other day and they are terrible for that price. Highest volume was so low too. Worth nowhere near that. I bought the Soundcore Q30s because I was curious to why everyone spoke highly of them so much and I’m glad I did :)
Ur so real for that, huge W.
So the price between Jabra Elite 45h and these are about the same... any recommendation?

Which is better, the Soundcore life q30 or the Soundcore tunes?
What are the differences?
Thanks in advance!
Same thing
Hi! Ia it possibile to use this headphone for work (conference call)? Does the microphone work well? Usually i work in a room with 2 person, so there is constantly talk-noise.
I'd like to buy a versatile headphone, for listen to music but to work too.
We're far from poor and I purchased a pair these for my daughter and her husband for their trip to S. Korea. For the price they're pretty unbeatable and if you lose them you're not going to have heart failure. For everyday listening around the house I prefer open back headphones...
Oddly enough I am an audiophile .. if money is no object I can certainly help you spend it. My 2¢ is to buy a Sennheiser $170 58X / 150 ohms or $220 6XX / 300 ohms from Drop and if you can wait and you're okay with spending $1,100 they've listed an 8XX / 300 ohms. For both the 6XX and 8XX I'd probably recommend a Class-A DAC for most people. Even 150 ohms is hard to push with most DACs but there's a lot more options and for a lot less money. One of those scenarios where you're doubling if not tripling the price to get 5% more...
Would love to see a comparison between the Sony xm4's and the life q35's
Where I can buy the Jabra Elite 85h for $150? I'm in Mexico and in Amazon MX they're on sale by $7,000 MXN ($350 USD approx). 🙁
Excellent comparison dude! Thanks!
I'm not sure at that price. You'll have to wait for them to go on sale. And thanks.
I'm in mexico too, you have to use amazon us and pay the import price, it's still worth it the q30s were twice the price
Skullcandy crusher vs Q30, which one? (I like bass and I'm listening more rock and metal songs, but also from every genre)
I'm not familiar with the Skullcandy headphones. Check out my buddy @eljefereviews and his video - th-cam.com/video/P9CNiMrzMLc/w-d-xo.html - He's the master of all things audio. But I think the Q30s will likely be a winner for you in this category.

I swished my hand over the soundcore left side of the headphones and it changed my mode
Thank you for a very great review.
You're welcome
Not sure if you said this, but what's more comfortable, the XM4 OR Q 30? That's a big component for me.
Good review, thanks! But i have a question. I want the headphones for work. Using them mostly for conference calls. I look at them cause they say Q30s have ambient sound cancelation on microphone. I have 4 kids and thats my main topic. To have others in my room watching TV, but the one that im talking with dont listen another sound diferent than my voice. Do you know if Q30s are good doing that?
just bought a pair of q30,s for £55 after watching lots of revues..Gotta say they are good. The app is fantastic.
Nice!
Wonder how either pair would compare to V-Moda crossfade wireless.
How's your noise canceling? I got these and I'm not sure if the noise cancelling is just bad or mine are broken. It dampens sounds like highways and vacuuming a bit, but does absolutely nothing for chewing/sniffling/tapping,etc. If anything is makes them louder by dampening the sound around it. But is this just the way they are or are mine faulty?
I think that's the way they are ankers have average ANC but amazing sound quality
Do you think it's worth it upgrading to the Q30s? I own the Q20s and I like them, but I wanted them to cancel better the higher frequencies. Do the Q30s do it much better? Thanks in advance!
I dont recomend it bro, keep your Q20, not much diference
The difference isn't big, but the Q30 has an 8band build in custom EQ, making it surpass the Sonys 1000xm4 with ease if you set it right.
@@fa14bi-78 Do you know any video that teaches how to set it right? Bought the Q30s, waiting for them to arrive here, but I'm already worried about this custom EQ. I have no experience with this, so...

I bought my Sony wh-1000mx4 used on marketplace for $160. They sound awesome, especially at that price
Everybody talks wonders about the Q30, I just bought them, they're on the way. I paid a little less than a $100 since I'm shipping them to Mexico and I have to pay extra taxes and the shipping, still a good deal, here they cost around $150. I'm excited.
Please do a review on the new Soundcore Q35 and Sony WH-1000XM4
I won't be reshooting this video with the 35s but yes, I would recommend the 35s over the Sonys as well. The LDAC is nice for sure but doesn't even work with Apple because it doesn't support the CODEC so there is zero benefit over the 30s.

yes the earcups can be replaced however there are still no 3rd party ear cups for sale but im sure there will be some in the future
I love your channel and the q30s are so good. I purchased them at Walmart and they were available and on sale and I was fortunate cuz some ppl are waiting to get there's. I've had Sony's and these are pretty close. Just FYI if u buy them from Walmart and buy them online ..they will be called something different and the logo on the cups will be either gold or silver. Manufacturer gets a lightly different edition then buying at store but the actual headphones are the same.
Thanks a lot. I’m glad you enjoy the channel. Yes. The Q30s are fantastic. Such a good deal for the money.
how's them now after a year?
How good is the noise cancelling in your point of view?
As someone who has sensitive hearing I need noise cancelling
I think it's good. Is it as good as the XM4s or the AirPods Max? No, but it's also $100 or less and not $300-500
@@TechOdyssey thanks I will probably buy them
@@cristophermartinez6707 good luck. I hope you enjoy them
The most honest review in earth!
Haha. Thanks a lot. I am glad you think so
Thank you very much!
You’re very welcome.
I need to change the battery! After 2 years of use, now It barely lasts. Is that possible?
My man woke up and chose violence.
Jk amazing review. Keep up the good work
Those sony are one of the biggest scams in the headphone space yeah ok they have really good anc but besides that what makes them worth $300.
Also with Q30 I can use MY BTR3K Bluetooth Reciever and get LDAC and the Q30 sound Noticeably Better When I Do this
YOU ARE THE MAN 👊
👉 LOVE THE CHANNEL 👏 👍 👌 AND YOUR GREAT REVIEWS 👌 👏 💯%
Thank you!
It's not about ANC or sound, Sony has a history of creating sounds and sound electronics, so when you buy Sony product of any, its the share of the history you acquire to be part of, Money comes and go so as products, but history remains. Cheaper thing don't last, as most copied the legendary of the game. Sony MX4 will continue to be the best headphones right now and its durability will last longer is what Sony products do.
I don't think you really understand what you're talking about.
@@TechOdyssey Sony will always be Sony with the history behind it. Many electronics companies came and went but Sony still the best in that department of stereo. And I know what I'm talking about. Remember it's not just the headphones you buy, it's more about the standard and the formula behind Sony products. Hope you understand what I'm talking about.
@@Dan1one1 I understand what you're saying. Brand reputation is important and it justifies a price higher than no name brands but it also isn't a reason I'm going to pay $300 over $79
@@TechOdyssey it's a good point you're saying, however Sony when they made these XM4 headphone they consider that they are the best ANC headphones in the market now, and it's standard of history on making best stereo, hence the price. But these other brands they are doing their best to introduce themselves into the market so they have to hook bait the customers to be drawn to them by making their product cheaper than the best out there. When you wear Sony headphones of any kind since child hood up to now, it's makes anyone feel good of the product and whom so ever sees it. Now that's the PRODUCT that feels Good inside out.
@@Dan1one1 New generation can still change.
Thats how Samsung for new generation are just ok than some old one.
On the High End, people can choose Apple which as much as their shady stuff, their phone and softwere are solid even more solid than gaming phone.
On medium and lower, theres Xiaomi and those chinese phone, takes time to beat samsung but ofc crawling from the bottom are marketing strategy too.
Only old guy who think theres pride because they are with their history.
New generation doesnt, they just need something that really value to performance.
So yes, sony would still stay afloat but things can change, and too many variation to sell also limit them to make much more perfect devices.
Anker doesnt give a sht about it, they go all in. Which new generation kind of thing like.
Bought Q30 for 69.99€ in Italy. I’m new to the world of headphones but….come on, 70€ is the price everyone can invest on headphones. No way for to spend 300 or 600 bucks.
Just got them for $43 from Aliexpress, the value is insane
Great content, A good mic quality would be great in the video :)
Got Q30, when I put them on (without even turning them on), it felt like the left can is heavier than the right one, moreover it gave me an effect of swimmer's ear, so I flipped them around and the left can gave me the same feeling on the right ear...Did I get a faulty unit?
I would say the phase is out on them. Perhaps they were wired backwards on one side. Send them back maybe
Would you say the q30 is as durable?
I think they're fine.
@@TechOdyssey thanks, fingers crossed it’s still good after one year worth of wear and tear.
Dear Anker,
I am writing to express my disappointment with your product, the Q30 headphones. After only six months of use, the plastic frame of the headphones cracked. When I reached out to your support team, they claimed it was due to misuse, despite the fact that there are numerous reports of similar issues online.
I have tried to resolve this issue by emailing your support team, but have yet to receive a satisfactory response after a month or two. As a customer, I expect better from a company like yours, and I hope that you will take swift action to address this issue.
Dont buy this product
You can tape it. I know it's not the best option but it worked for me
The only sound I get off of my XM3s now is Sound Sleep . I just think they sound like trash after listen to my LetShouer S12s IEMs
