@@insidetechltd the q45s came. I have used them for a few days and guess what? I do not like them. They are beautiful headphones but their bass leaves alot to be desired. I have tried to like them but I just cannot get past the sound. Interestingly, they got a very a very poor review from Consumer Reports because of sound. The q20 is was ranked many positions ahead of the q45 in Consumer Reports rankings! So Consumer Reports had found major faults in the q45 sound quality. I doubted Consumer Reports review but now I see their point after spending a considerable amount of time with the q45. However, I still think your reviews are excellent and I will continue looking out for them. Thanks for your excellent work!
I have q35 already half a year, got it for $90. Overtime it got some problems, but I use it very intensely, for workout and sleep. Still, for $90 I am certified
I own the Q35s and after watching this review, the differences are too small to make the jump to the Q45s. The differences are just too subtle to be labeled as an "upgrade." Thanks for making this video, it was very helpful!👍
and i have only one kind of issue, when i enter voip on discord, quality of sound drop like a lot, something around 30-40%, if its the same as in q45 i dont think its even worth to consider that thought...
@@ImToSexy4You2 it happens with me with all wireless headphones, "Samsung buds plus, Soundcore flare mini, Apple airpuds pro" I think it has smth to do with when you are using mic as input
@@gebalygaming3820 Yes it's because of the bandwidth limitations with bluetooth, unfortunately using the mic on any bluetooth device will degrade sound quality.

Amazing video !!! And perfect timing!! I wanted to upgrade my lower-end JBL headphones which were great at the price but fit was a little loose !! And no earbuds yet !!! But will be definitely buying Both which means I won't have to carry around my headphones !!! When traveling and physically active !!!
Thank you for the video mate. Love your videos! They are so detailed and articulated. And thanks for covering the points i had asked and which probably no youtuber except you has covered. Also idk why soundcore dont use aptx. Aptx is such a great feature! Also i dont have the imbalance issue on my q35. I have one small question to ask, are the a40 ok for side sleeping? Like does the touch control get activated when sleeping sideways on a pillow?
Good to see you back! I think it's more expensive to get aptX and that's why lots of brands avoid it (whereas LDAC is free). Glad you don't have the imbalance on your Q35. I had two pairs with the problem and then saw online others had it too, so it seems be a lot but not everyone - otherwise i'd love the Q35! So for side sleeping they are just about shallow enough in the ears so that you can lay on your side with them, but I think you'll need a hand under your head and between you and the pillow. They're not quite small enough to lay directly on them without it being uncomfortable, but for me it's not actually triggering the touch pads! So you might get lucky and they be ok, but I wouldn't recommend it. There are better options for this like 1More comfobuds mini or SoundPeats mini that are smaller and better for side sleeping 👍🏼
@@insidetechltd Thanks so much for the reply. Also mate have a look at the "Oppo Enco x2" i guess you know about the oppo brand. I gave it a listen, but they are probably the best sounding tws around! It launched in the uk just recently. I highly suggest giving it a go. There arent much reviews for it too.

Thank you for this video! Would you recommend buying Q45 now if I can get them for about $130? I’m looking for greatly sounding over-ear headphones with good enough ANC, and these seem to match my needs. But maybe there have appeared some better options 6 months later that you would recommend over Q45?
I would. I'm actually planning a full video on the best headphones under $200, but it's not ready yet. The Q45 would definitely feature though, possibly even number 1 - they're excellent
Informative as always, but this 12:50 perked my ears up. I have never noticed this on the Q35 (had mine about 6 months or so, in fact using them now), nor have I seen a single reviewer or comment on it. Weird, maybe there were QC issues with a particular run?
Thank you! Yes it's really hit and miss it seems. But after two different pairs had the issue for me (and others have since reported it both on my channel and in online forums) I couldn't 'not' mention it. And I thought it was only fair to say that the 45s didn't have the problem. Definitely seems like a QC issue because there was never a software update to address it
If you get a chance, I would really love it if you could do a review on 1More Sonoflow. I have encountered quite a few comparisons between the Sonoflow and the Soundcore Q45, but not seen comparison reviews I would consider serious and thorough.
I actually own those and like them a lot, super comfortable! Never thought i'd make a review because I didn't think the interest was there, so that's good to know! Perhaps one for the future on the channel 👍🏼
Excellent review, as always! I love your work man! Based on your testing, the microphone quality is pretty good! knowing all its features/advantages against the Jabra Elite 85t. Would you recommend this for my use case? multipoint connection to Laptop and android for call in a quiet environment? Other than work, I play some CoD so low latency mode is a huge plus too.
Thanks a lot! Yes I think they would be a good option for your use case. I'd still say the LG earbuds are a better quality option, but obviously they are much more expensive. So in terms of value for money the A40 would be the way to go 👍🏼
I ordered the A40 and received it on today. I haven't used ANC before so wasn't sure what to expect. I can tell the difference when it's on but it doesn't block out 98% noise (especially my kid's voices) as advertised. They're small, fit well and more comfortable than my old Jabra 65t elite. The sound is pretty nice, I'm happy with it, a great bang for bucks. Now just hope the microphone does well for calls. Thanks so much for your help in selecting a suitable pair of earbuds!
Hi. Thanks for an amazing comparison. My kid just broke my awesome Q30 and now need to buy a new one. I am confused between Q35 and Q45. In your opinion, which one is better for music? Please recommend the one that has more crisp and clear sound quality. Thank you!

I returned my 45 and purchased the 35. The 45 is too bulky. The ear cups are huge and the headband lacks padding causing them to move around on my head, I have a S-M head.
I was looking for Q45 vs Q35 and no video gave me what you did, I strongly think that the last 2 min where you compare them should be a whole separate video. You did an amazing job !!!!!
Thanks a lot! I don’t normally make separate videos that are that short. I tend to keep all the information together in one place, but I include chapters so people can easily skip to the part of the video they like 👌🏼
The odd thing I have experienced is that the Q45 seems to have inferior battery life to the Q30's. The Q45 claims to have 50 hours with ANC, but in my experience it seems there is no way it'd get close to that (probably closer to 30 hours, based on having roughly 20% battery life left after approx 25 hours of audio playback), whereas the Q30 could actually reach its claimed 40 hours, which is effectively 10 hours more than the Q45. Has anyone actually tested the real world performance of the Q45's battery life?
Yes, i've tested the real world performance and always do so in case it doesn't live up to company claims. I used to provide my actual playback times too but since this can wildly vary by content/volume etc i've stopped doing that unless it's very different from the claim. But for me they basically matched the claim! So I wonder if perhaps you're listening at a particularly high volume? Or are you using the LDAC codec when you listen? Both of those things will significantly drain the battery life. You should also test until they are fully drained. The battery % may not be accurate or it could be the case that the drain is not as linear as you expect and therefore they could last longer for that final 20%.
@@insidetechltd Well, it could be LDAC. I'd have to check that (I'm using a Galaxy S22 Ultra). The volume thing shouldn't be a factor, since I would have used the Q30 the same way.
Left and right channels in q30 & q35 are equally balanced...it is false that they are not...I own and listen to both frequently, and am thinking about buying q45 for Christmas so I've been watching reviews of q45 , it's only this guy that says not balanced...other than that, good review, cheers
Nah, mine had that problem too. Got them exchanged. Loads of people do on the soundcore community site it turns out. Doesn't affect every pair, but for some it does. He also said he had two different pairs with the problem in his review so its obviously a big problem with them
Yes, some people have had this issue and others haven't. I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't point this out - I couldn't in good conscience recommend a pair of headphones without highlighting an issue I (and others) have experienced. That's all!
Hi do you know if at that price, if there are headphones that have better audio quality? and also which headphones has the best audio quality between the q45 and the q35? (I listen to rap/edm/hip hop/drill) thank you hope to get an answer Good video !
Honestly, these are one of the best sound quality : price ratio headphones out there - but i'd need to do some more testing at this price range to give you a certain answer. The Q45 sound better than the Q35 - I think you'll want good treble for those genres so they should be good
@@farnaz4real I don't mind that this feature is not present. for me it was above all a good audio quality that I needed but I was told that at the price in audio quality there was no better so I will go with the q45
I don't think it would be A) comfortable or B) effective. Remember there's typically an internal mic used to measure the sound and adjust the ANC, so earbuds would mess with that
This is actually good timing, considering I’m having an issue with my Sony WF-1000XM4 whereby the right earbud is now losing battery literally every minute. Knowing that they’re almost always less expensive than the competition, those Soundcore Space Q40 are looking pretty enticing. I have to ask, however, if the EQ shift turns them into bass-cannons with ANC off and/or completely guts the bass with ANC on. That was something I had read about with the Life Q30 and even the Life Q35 headphones.
I'm sorry about your 1000XM4. If you're asking about the Q45 headphones, the BassUp mode doesn't give the same bass-heavy shift as the previous models. The bass is more refined and with the Q45, and the same goes for ANC mode too: it doesn't dramatically increase the bass vs being turned off. You can can hear the difference when you increase the bass (either with BassUp or with another EQ), but it's not as powerful or overwhelming as it is on the Q30 or Q35 especially
Hi, I just got these today, and theres something I want to know about the bass adjustments in the Soundcore app. If you increase the bar does it actually make the bass louder? Or does it just make it more clear?
Is there still the imbalance audio issues on the 35's? Also would the 45's be alright for small heads? Im tempted to get either one with my Christmas money since i do have the life p3's but fancy a set of headphones. Any help would be appreciated!
@@Spoopwoopy To be honest, not great. I can wear these on the smallest setting quite comfortably (normally need to adjust a bit bigger). So they don't get really small like some other headphones do. Small-ish...you should be OK. But small...maybe not

Hey dude i am looking for headphones/earbuds. I want to use them for the gym, travel, and work. Can you recommend me a couple? My budget is 300 usd Thx in advans
I'm not sure about the Life A2, but testing against the A1 (extremely similar to A3i) the A1 has louder bass - especially with the bass booster EQ. The sound isn't as well balanced or as high clarity as the A40, but if you specifically want that heavy bass sound then the A1 (and probably A2) would be better 👍🏼
there is issue with Q35 and I want to know if they fix it with Q45 or not sound quality especially Bass keep Changing with ANC mode Bass is more with ANC and clear but when using ambient then Bass is gone
There is a very small EQ shift when changing the ANC mode, but it's better this year with the Q45 (doesn't become as bass heavy with ANC as the Q35 does)
See My Q35 VS Q45 ULTIMATE COMPARISON Video . . . Only Black was available when I got mine .

Hi Guys really a big fan of your work. Can u plz tell me how Soundcore space q45 Headfones are Compared to Soundcore liberty 3 pro beacuse I have Liberty 3 pros and I M so happy with sound quality so plz At least tell me q45s has the same sound or better then My Liberty 3 pros waiting for reply after that I will Buy Q45s Thanks a Lot.
Thanks a lot! So I think with the Q45s you get a wider soundstage (as is often the case with headphones vs earbuds). You also get more balanced sound. The L3P are tuned (by default) to have a v-shaped EQ, overemphasised bass and highs. Now this can create a more dynamic sound, and the highs especially are a lot sharper (a little too high in my opinion, so I always EQ this out). So I think they can sound just as good really, but the experience is obviously very different with over-ear headphones vs earbuds
@@insidetechltd thanks a lot for your reply and help this really means o lot to me and after your opinion M going to order my q45s. Really Very Thanks a lot.
A40 are better than NeoBuds Pro. But it's really close between A40 and 1More EVO. A40 are better with low end frequencies, but Evo has a slight edge on mid-high frequencies. So it depends on the environment you're in as to which performs better!
Sure, I did a lot of direct comparison testing whilst I was making this video: • Design/build quality: L3P - much more premium all round. Same IP4 protection though • Comfort/fit: A40. They fit much more securely, are less bulky, are lighter • ANC: A40 - especially with the low end frequencies • Mic quality: draw. The actual vocal clarity is better with the A40, but the L3P have excellent background noise reduction (it can often be silent even in noisy environments). • Battery life: A40 • Sound quality: L3P (by far). This is ultimately why L3P are more expensive, the sound quality is miles ahead. The ACAA tech delivers much more powerful bass and sharper, more crisp highs. It's a night and day difference. The 'best' one is the one that has the features you personally prioritise. Overall value i'd say the A40. But sound quality is obviously a big factor, so that could be the deal-breaker
It really depends how you rank it. You could argue also 10/10 because of the price. Are you asking about features in particular or just in general? Generally the Q45 are also excellent for the price. A 9 or 10 for overall value and one of the best you can get
In that case i'd say they are closer than you might imagine! With sound it's very subjective, and I think the Q45s have sharper treble than Sony (less of a warm/bass-focussed tuning) so lots of people actually prefer the sound. Perhaps not quite as refined sound with the 45s, but certainly wouldn't place Sony leagues ahead when it comes to sound quality
It's also got better active noise cancellation. You can really hear it with the low end frequencies especially (and when you turn it off and just use passive isolation only, you can hear the difference)
I think the volume balance is even on the q35s now. Mine arrived today and don't have a volume imbalance on Firmware version 1.21. Do your q35s still have this problem? If they do it might just be a problem for your headphones specific.
Mine still have this problem. It's been numerous updates later and soundcore must be aware of the issue since it's quite widespread. So I think it's a hardware issue that may have been fixed with later models that were manufactured.
Initially, no. But after a few minutes I began to suspect something wasn’t right. And once you notice, you’ll never not notice it. I should re-emphasise it’s only during ‘normal’ or ‘transparency mode’. ANC mode is fine. But it’s bad enough that I had to stop using and recommending them
You can, and they’d probably be ok. But there’s no dedicated protection for them, so it’s a risk. IP-rated over ear headphones are rare - Jabra have the 85h which come with IPX4, if you’re interested. Otherwise you’ll have better luck with earbuds and earphones rather than over-ear headphones for the gym 👍🏼
Dude, I absolutely love your videos. I honestly rewatch some of them simply because no one presents products how you do. Absolutely excellent video my man 👍🏾
That's so great to hear, thank you! 🙌🏼

Your reviews are fabulous! Soundcore should give you a commission because you have just swayed me into buying the Space 45. Excellent work you do!
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy them, let us know what you think when they arrive!
@@insidetechltd I will do so.
@@insidetechltd the q45s came. I have used them for a few days and guess what? I do not like them. They are beautiful headphones but their bass leaves alot to be desired. I have tried to like them but I just cannot get past the sound. Interestingly, they got a very a very poor review from Consumer Reports because of sound. The q20 is was ranked many positions ahead of the q45 in Consumer Reports rankings! So Consumer Reports had found major faults in the q45 sound quality. I doubted Consumer Reports review but now I see their point after spending a considerable amount of time with the q45. However, I still think your reviews are excellent and I will continue looking out for them. Thanks for your excellent work!
I have q35 already half a year, got it for $90. Overtime it got some problems, but I use it very intensely, for workout and sleep. Still, for $90 I am certified
I own the Q35s and after watching this review, the differences are too small to make the jump to the Q45s. The differences are just too subtle to be labeled as an "upgrade." Thanks for making this video, it was very helpful!👍
Thank you! Yes, if my Q35 were balanced then I also probably wouldn't upgrade 👍🏼
i have q30 and i think if its worth to switch to q45?
and i have only one kind of issue, when i enter voip on discord, quality of sound drop like a lot, something around 30-40%, if its the same as in q45 i dont think its even worth to consider that thought...
@@ImToSexy4You2 it happens with me with all wireless headphones, "Samsung buds plus, Soundcore flare mini, Apple airpuds pro"
I think it has smth to do with when you are using mic as input
@@gebalygaming3820 Yes it's because of the bandwidth limitations with bluetooth, unfortunately using the mic on any bluetooth device will degrade sound quality.

Amazing video !!! And perfect timing!! I wanted to upgrade my lower-end JBL headphones which were great at the price but fit was a little loose !! And no earbuds yet !!! But will be definitely buying Both which means I won't have to carry around my headphones !!! When traveling and physically active !!!
Nice one, and thanks a lot! 🙌🏼
Thank you for the video mate. Love your videos!
They are so detailed and articulated.
And thanks for covering the points i had asked and which probably no youtuber except you has covered.
Also idk why soundcore dont use aptx. Aptx is such a great feature!
Also i dont have the imbalance issue on my q35.
I have one small question to ask, are the a40 ok for side sleeping? Like does the touch control get activated when sleeping sideways on a pillow?
Good to see you back! I think it's more expensive to get aptX and that's why lots of brands avoid it (whereas LDAC is free).
Glad you don't have the imbalance on your Q35. I had two pairs with the problem and then saw online others had it too, so it seems be a lot but not everyone - otherwise i'd love the Q35!
So for side sleeping they are just about shallow enough in the ears so that you can lay on your side with them, but I think you'll need a hand under your head and between you and the pillow. They're not quite small enough to lay directly on them without it being uncomfortable, but for me it's not actually triggering the touch pads! So you might get lucky and they be ok, but I wouldn't recommend it. There are better options for this like 1More comfobuds mini or SoundPeats mini that are smaller and better for side sleeping 👍🏼
@@insidetechltd Thanks so much for the reply.
Also mate have a look at the "Oppo Enco x2" i guess you know about the oppo brand. I gave it a listen, but they are probably the best sounding tws around! It launched in the uk just recently.
I highly suggest giving it a go. There arent much reviews for it too.
Best sounding, wow 😧 Ok i'll keep them on my radar!
@@insidetechltd yep! They are just fantastic! Specially in ldac.
Give it a shot, i can bet that it will be your main tws.
Same day shipping and arrival on Amazon and $129.00 total with your discount code in USA so mine were ordered early this morning and will arrive later today .

Thank you 🙌🏼
Hi! Thanks for all of these detailed videos! Quality is amazing! One question, do you preffer Q45 or space one? Thanks!
I actually prefer Space One - reasons why detailed in a comparison on my community tab!
As always a fantastic review. 👍
Thank you so much 👊🏼💚
Thank you for this video!
Would you recommend buying Q45 now if I can get them for about $130? I’m looking for greatly sounding over-ear headphones with good enough ANC, and these seem to match my needs. But maybe there have appeared some better options 6 months later that you would recommend over Q45?
I would. I'm actually planning a full video on the best headphones under $200, but it's not ready yet. The Q45 would definitely feature though, possibly even number 1 - they're excellent
@@insidetechltd thank you very much!
Informative as always, but this 12:50 perked my ears up. I have never noticed this on the Q35 (had mine about 6 months or so, in fact using them now), nor have I seen a single reviewer or comment on it.
Weird, maybe there were QC issues with a particular run?
Thank you!
Yes it's really hit and miss it seems. But after two different pairs had the issue for me (and others have since reported it both on my channel and in online forums) I couldn't 'not' mention it. And I thought it was only fair to say that the 45s didn't have the problem. Definitely seems like a QC issue because there was never a software update to address it
These videos are always so well made
Thank you!
If you get a chance, I would really love it if you could do a review on 1More Sonoflow. I have encountered quite a few comparisons between the Sonoflow and the Soundcore Q45, but not seen comparison reviews I would consider serious and thorough.
I actually own those and like them a lot, super comfortable! Never thought i'd make a review because I didn't think the interest was there, so that's good to know! Perhaps one for the future on the channel 👍🏼
Excellent review, as always! I love your work man!
Based on your testing, the microphone quality is pretty good! knowing all its features/advantages against the Jabra Elite 85t.
Would you recommend this for my use case? multipoint connection to Laptop and android for call in a quiet environment?
Other than work, I play some CoD so low latency mode is a huge plus too.
Thanks a lot!
Yes I think they would be a good option for your use case. I'd still say the LG earbuds are a better quality option, but obviously they are much more expensive. So in terms of value for money the A40 would be the way to go 👍🏼
I ordered the A40 and received it on today.
I haven't used ANC before so wasn't sure what to expect. I can tell the difference when it's on but it doesn't block out 98% noise (especially my kid's voices) as advertised.
They're small, fit well and more comfortable than my old Jabra 65t elite.
The sound is pretty nice, I'm happy with it, a great bang for bucks. Now just hope the microphone does well for calls.
Thanks so much for your help in selecting a suitable pair of earbuds!
Amazing review but i have a question tho would u recommend a40 over L3P in general and workout foucs which is better?
I actually prefer the A40 overall - better ANC, battery and a better fit. The L3P sound quality is much higher, but still beaten overall
Listening on my Q35s, I absolutely love them after you recommended them when they came out. I don't think I'm upgrading for a while
Don’t blame you. I’d love my Q35 if they didn’t have that imbalance issue. If you don’t have that, the Q35 are still great!
@Inside tech, what imbalance issue does Q35 have???
Left and right side volume is not equal. Check out the video for more info!
Очень хороший и подробный обзор. Многих деталей сравнения не нашел у других обзорщиков. Не зря на тебя подписался) Продолжай в том же духе!
спасибо!
Good review and more complite i see... Hope you get your hand on the edifier w240nt and do review
Thank you!
Hi. Thanks for an amazing comparison. My kid just broke my awesome Q30 and now need to buy a new one. I am confused between Q35 and Q45. In your opinion, which one is better for music? Please recommend the one that has more crisp and clear sound quality. Thank you!
I think the Q45 is slightly better clarity 👍🏼

@InsideTech I agree the Q45 Seem To Have A Clarity Edge but the Q35 Are More Impactful With Music And Movies
I returned my 45 and purchased the 35. The 45 is too bulky. The ear cups are huge and the headband lacks padding causing them to move around on my head, I have a S-M head.
I was looking for Q45 vs Q35 and no video gave me what you did, I strongly think that the last 2 min where you compare them should be a whole separate video. You did an amazing job !!!!!
Thanks a lot!
I don’t normally make separate videos that are that short. I tend to keep all the information together in one place, but I include chapters so people can easily skip to the part of the video they like 👌🏼
The odd thing I have experienced is that the Q45 seems to have inferior battery life to the Q30's. The Q45 claims to have 50 hours with ANC, but in my experience it seems there is no way it'd get close to that (probably closer to 30 hours, based on having roughly 20% battery life left after approx 25 hours of audio playback), whereas the Q30 could actually reach its claimed 40 hours, which is effectively 10 hours more than the Q45. Has anyone actually tested the real world performance of the Q45's battery life?
Yes, i've tested the real world performance and always do so in case it doesn't live up to company claims. I used to provide my actual playback times too but since this can wildly vary by content/volume etc i've stopped doing that unless it's very different from the claim. But for me they basically matched the claim!
So I wonder if perhaps you're listening at a particularly high volume? Or are you using the LDAC codec when you listen? Both of those things will significantly drain the battery life. You should also test until they are fully drained. The battery % may not be accurate or it could be the case that the drain is not as linear as you expect and therefore they could last longer for that final 20%.
@@insidetechltd Well, it could be LDAC. I'd have to check that (I'm using a Galaxy S22 Ultra). The volume thing shouldn't be a factor, since I would have used the Q30 the same way.
Good review but what games are you playing in the video? 🙂
Cod mobile
Left and right channels in q30 & q35 are equally balanced...it is false that they are not...I own and listen to both frequently, and am thinking about buying q45 for Christmas so I've been watching reviews of q45 , it's only this guy that says not balanced...other than that, good review, cheers
Nah, mine had that problem too. Got them exchanged. Loads of people do on the soundcore community site it turns out. Doesn't affect every pair, but for some it does. He also said he had two different pairs with the problem in his review so its obviously a big problem with them
Yes, some people have had this issue and others haven't. I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't point this out - I couldn't in good conscience recommend a pair of headphones without highlighting an issue I (and others) have experienced. That's all!
Hi
do you know if at that price, if there are headphones that have better audio quality?
and also which headphones has the best audio quality between the q45 and the q35? (I listen to rap/edm/hip hop/drill)
thank you hope to get an answer
Good video !
Honestly, these are one of the best sound quality : price ratio headphones out there - but i'd need to do some more testing at this price range to give you a certain answer. The Q45 sound better than the Q35 - I think you'll want good treble for those genres so they should be good
@@insidetechltd Good evening, I think I will take the q45.
Thank you very much for your answer and have a nice weekend.
@@LordJurd but Q45 doesn’t have Auto pause option which I personally think is more important
@@farnaz4real I don't mind that this feature is not present. for me it was above all a good audio quality that I needed but I was told that at the price in audio quality there was no better so I will go with the q45
Wonder if better noise cancelling can be had wearing earbuds under headphones with ANC
I don't think it would be A) comfortable or B) effective. Remember there's typically an internal mic used to measure the sound and adjust the ANC, so earbuds would mess with that
This is actually good timing, considering I’m having an issue with my Sony WF-1000XM4 whereby the right earbud is now losing battery literally every minute. Knowing that they’re almost always less expensive than the competition, those Soundcore Space Q40 are looking pretty enticing. I have to ask, however, if the EQ shift turns them into bass-cannons with ANC off and/or completely guts the bass with ANC on. That was something I had read about with the Life Q30 and even the Life Q35 headphones.
I'm sorry about your 1000XM4. If you're asking about the Q45 headphones, the BassUp mode doesn't give the same bass-heavy shift as the previous models. The bass is more refined and with the Q45, and the same goes for ANC mode too: it doesn't dramatically increase the bass vs being turned off. You can can hear the difference when you increase the bass (either with BassUp or with another EQ), but it's not as powerful or overwhelming as it is on the Q30 or Q35 especially
I had the same issue with Sony wf1000xm4 and bought soundcore liberty 3 pro and it is amazing and in my opinion far better and cheaper than Sony
I've been waiting for this 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Hi, I just got these today, and theres something I want to know about the bass adjustments in the Soundcore app. If you increase the bar does it actually make the bass louder? Or does it just make it more clear?
It makes it louder. You're adjusting the volume of each of the frequencies, so in effect it's sort of both (it becomes clearer 'because' it's louder)
Is there still the imbalance audio issues on the 35's? Also would the 45's be alright for small heads? Im tempted to get either one with my Christmas money since i do have the life p3's but fancy a set of headphones. Any help would be appreciated!
Yes, they are still present on my models today. Not everyone seems to be affected though! A safer bet is going for either the Q30 or Q45 though
@@insidetechltd Are the 45's ok with a small-ish head?
@@Spoopwoopy To be honest, not great. I can wear these on the smallest setting quite comfortably (normally need to adjust a bit bigger). So they don't get really small like some other headphones do. Small-ish...you should be OK. But small...maybe not

Hey dude i am looking for headphones/earbuds. I want to use them for the gym, travel, and work. Can you recommend me a couple? My budget is 300 usd
Thx in advans
Hey! I have the Life A2 NC and LOVE the bass. Would you happen to know if the A40 happens to be even better bass or even the A3i??
I'm not sure about the Life A2, but testing against the A1 (extremely similar to A3i) the A1 has louder bass - especially with the bass booster EQ. The sound isn't as well balanced or as high clarity as the A40, but if you specifically want that heavy bass sound then the A1 (and probably A2) would be better 👍🏼
Excellent review
Thank you 🙌🏼
Umm the mics sound good on the a40. Would u say they are better than the 1more Evo. Can u use transparency mode in calls?
Yes and yes 👍🏼
there is issue with Q35 and I want to know if they fix it with Q45 or not
sound quality especially Bass keep Changing with ANC mode
Bass is more with ANC and clear but when using ambient then Bass is gone
There is a very small EQ shift when changing the ANC mode, but it's better this year with the Q45 (doesn't become as bass heavy with ANC as the Q35 does)
I've got the white one! Yay!
See My Q35 VS Q45 ULTIMATE COMPARISON Video . . .
Only Black was available when I got mine . I thought I wanted the blue Q45 intil I Recieved them and I just felt the blue looked cheap and all my other soundcore Headphones have been blue and I like their blue colors but not the blue Q45s . I love the way the Q45 In Black Look .
Can u do a video on your white Q45 So I Could See What They Really Look Like
@@DroidLocks6971 I'll try to shoot a video as soon as I can, meanwhile I can guarantee the white is definitely stunning, it looks bigger than on photos and there's a lot of heads turning when you pass by. I'm so impressed with the sound quality it's almost overwhelming, having to "re-listen" my entire music library, just to really get to know what the artists intended, not to mention the noise canceling, just unbelievable. Cheers
Hi Guys really a big fan of your work.
Can u plz tell me how Soundcore space q45 Headfones are Compared to Soundcore liberty 3 pro beacuse I have Liberty 3 pros and I M so happy with sound quality so plz At least tell me q45s has the same sound or better then My Liberty 3 pros waiting for reply after that I will Buy Q45s Thanks a Lot.
Thanks a lot!
So I think with the Q45s you get a wider soundstage (as is often the case with headphones vs earbuds). You also get more balanced sound. The L3P are tuned (by default) to have a v-shaped EQ, overemphasised bass and highs. Now this can create a more dynamic sound, and the highs especially are a lot sharper (a little too high in my opinion, so I always EQ this out). So I think they can sound just as good really, but the experience is obviously very different with over-ear headphones vs earbuds
@@insidetechltd thanks a lot for your reply and help this really means o lot to me and after your opinion M going to order my q45s.
Really Very Thanks a lot.
How does the a40’s ANC compare to the neobuds pro and the 1more evo?
A40 are better than NeoBuds Pro. But it's really close between A40 and 1More EVO. A40 are better with low end frequencies, but Evo has a slight edge on mid-high frequencies. So it depends on the environment you're in as to which performs better!
@@insidetechltd thank you so much for that. It’s very helpful.
I listen a to alot of EDM/ dubstep should I get the 35s or 45s, or is the audio quality so much better that I should I should just get the 45s
I have to recommend the Q45 just because of the issues i've faced with the Q35
Can U please compare the Liberty 3 Pro with the Space A40. C which One is Best Thanks
Sure, I did a lot of direct comparison testing whilst I was making this video:
• Design/build quality: L3P - much more premium all round. Same IP4 protection though
• Comfort/fit: A40. They fit much more securely, are less bulky, are lighter
• ANC: A40 - especially with the low end frequencies
• Mic quality: draw. The actual vocal clarity is better with the A40, but the L3P have excellent background noise reduction (it can often be silent even in noisy environments).
• Battery life: A40
• Sound quality: L3P (by far). This is ultimately why L3P are more expensive, the sound quality is miles ahead. The ACAA tech delivers much more powerful bass and sharper, more crisp highs. It's a night and day difference.
The 'best' one is the one that has the features you personally prioritise. Overall value i'd say the A40. But sound quality is obviously a big factor, so that could be the deal-breaker
Can I ask what device you are plugging the Space Q45 aux cable into at 1:25
Sure, that's an iPod shuffle!
Been asking this forever… where can I get carry cases for the space a40?
I'm not sure if they're sold separately or not - best message Soundcore to find out for sure!
If the Sony XM5's were a 10/10. What would the Q45's be like?
It really depends how you rank it. You could argue also 10/10 because of the price. Are you asking about features in particular or just in general? Generally the Q45 are also excellent for the price. A 9 or 10 for overall value and one of the best you can get
@@insidetechltd Thanks. And speaking about sound quality only?
In that case i'd say they are closer than you might imagine! With sound it's very subjective, and I think the Q45s have sharper treble than Sony (less of a warm/bass-focussed tuning) so lots of people actually prefer the sound. Perhaps not quite as refined sound with the 45s, but certainly wouldn't place Sony leagues ahead when it comes to sound quality
@@insidetechltd Thanks. I really appreciate your videos and answers.
Let's be honest, only someone in the music industry would notice the difference for the everyday person. They're both good.
It drives me nuts that you can't turn soundcore earbuds on/off without the case. Huge omission.
Yes that would've been nice 👍🏼
Can you please review Anker soundcore life q20i
Unfortunately I don't think i'll be able to - the Q20i is essentially just an older model with some updated specs, not a whole new release. Sorry!
Hi, you said that ANC in Space Q45 is better than Life Q35 - but is it actually better or is it due to better passive noise blocking?
It's also got better active noise cancellation. You can really hear it with the low end frequencies especially (and when you turn it off and just use passive isolation only, you can hear the difference)
I think the volume balance is even on the q35s now. Mine arrived today and don't have a volume imbalance on Firmware version 1.21. Do your q35s still have this problem? If they do it might just be a problem for your headphones specific.
Mine still have this problem. It's been numerous updates later and soundcore must be aware of the issue since it's quite widespread. So I think it's a hardware issue that may have been fixed with later models that were manufactured.
@@insidetechltd yeah that's probably it. How noticeable is the balance shift? Do you immediately recognise it or is it hard to notice
Initially, no. But after a few minutes I began to suspect something wasn’t right. And once you notice, you’ll never not notice it. I should re-emphasise it’s only during ‘normal’ or ‘transparency mode’. ANC mode is fine. But it’s bad enough that I had to stop using and recommending them
Is A40 ANC As Great As Airpods Pro
Yes. I tested them side by side and it’s actually even better than AirPods 👀
@@insidetechltd that is is my opinion some awesome anc the A40 has then
@@insidetechltd so the A40 anc is as great as airpods pro 2
No. AirPods Pro 2 has much, much better ANC. Vastly superior to AirPods Pro
Battery life is everything on a headphone
What if they sounded awful though? 😧
Wait the q45 have an ipx4 rating
No
@@insidetechltd so I can't use them for the gym
You can, and they’d probably be ok. But there’s no dedicated protection for them, so it’s a risk. IP-rated over ear headphones are rare - Jabra have the 85h which come with IPX4, if you’re interested. Otherwise you’ll have better luck with earbuds and earphones rather than over-ear headphones for the gym 👍🏼
