I'm not sure Q45 is meant to be a successor but rather a different choice with a different sound profile but nothing I say or feel is likely to alter what people have made up their minds to think . . .

Watched a handful of reviews on the Life Q35s and yours was, by far, the most comprehensive. You covered things that I haven't seen anyone else really touch on like, emphasizing the fact of the insane battery life compared to competitors, as well as Soundcore's app having a music streaming community built within the app. Really nice job on the video! Being the owner of both, as well, I think you were pretty much spot on with your assessment in comparing the two. For me, the improvement in audio quality was immediately noticeable. Not that the Q30s are bad (far from it), but, where as, I use a custom EQ for the Q30s, I don't really feel it necessary to use EQ the Q35s. They sound pretty darn great right out of the box. I also feel the comfort has been slightly increased with the upgrade to the ear cups and the headband. I did notice a very, _very_ slight improvement in the ANC, but nothing significant, and definitely not enough of an improvement that I think many would notice. It took me quite a few times of switching the headphones back and forth to actually notice. I've seen quite a few people knock Soundcore because of the price hike on the Q35s, but I feel that to be pretty unfair. At $80, the previous Q30s were already punching *_waayyy_* above their belt in comparison to the current market leaders. And even at $50 more the same can be said with the Q35s. For the refinement you get with the Q35s, especially in the sound, they are, imo, still well worth the price. Though, as you note in the video, the Q30s are still perhaps more deserving of the title of budget king. All right, I guess I am also gushing about these phones, lol. Anyways, thanks again for the comprehensive video. The time you spent on it did not go unnoticed. Cheers!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to give your view on this! 🙌🏼 I completely agree with you too! I certainly spent a lot of time switching between the two to test out the difference. I also saw the comments about the price hike, but you’re right, it’s only because the previous prices have so ridiculously cheap! I said that the Q30s take the title for best value ANC headphones, but the 35s would be deserving of the title too at $130. Just look at competition and ask yourself “what else is really competing here?” and it’s hard to find anything better! Anyway, thanks again for the lovely words and for sharing! 👊🏼
@@insidetechltd Exactly. Even at $130 there isn't really isn't anything competing with them. Their nearest competitor would be themselves..with the Q30s 😆 Scoped your channel and I dig both tech and in-depth comparisons, so you have got yourself a new sub:) Thanks again!
Okay, I know i've pretty much been gushing over these headphones. But when you think about what's on offer here, and the fact that these are in some cases $200 cheaper than the competitors, I think these are going to be tough to beat in terms of value this year! 🔥
@@dorate100 I've used both, and the answer is no. The JBLs are not better in any way: build, audio, ANC, and features are all a bit lesser actually. Bose was a bit better on the mid range than the Q30, though from this interview, that may be fixed with the Q35). Neither had better battery life, by a long shot. These are really great headphones and after trying 6 or so different ANCs over Christmas, I went with the Q30 and enjoyed the discount.

Excellent video! I can only comment on the Soundcore Q30 though. OUTSTANDING! I'm a musician, son of a first generation audiophile, so I have a lot of experience in studios wearing headphones and I've benefitted from a lifetime listening to the best audio possible. The Q30 are absolutely one of the very best headphones I've ever used. I wear mine a minimum of 12-14 hours everyday. Comfortable, off the charts. Using mine for over six months already, I haven't even come close to either running out battery time, or even getting a 'low battery' status report/announcement when turning them on. Which is a terrific added feature. And especially since I don't charge them daily since getting them. The N/C is super, easily blocking out every annoying ambient distraction. A super bonus is the comprehensiveness of the iPhone app. Works terrifically. With video watchers coming here for info on the Q35's (as I did) I'll just end with my highest Q30 endorsement. I don't think I need to upgrade to the Q35s right now, so I'd suggest possible purchasers taking advantage of the lower pricing for the Q30s. You won't be disappointed, I guarantee it.
@@insidetechltd I'm glad you liked it. Just being honest which I always am. Especially concerning anything to do with audio. As well, I'm a huge Soundcore fan satisfactorily owning many of their terrific products. I'm subscribing to your channel as soon as I send this. Again, most gracious thanks.
You forget to add the ANC mode on the Q30 do not affect the sound quality of music (some how enhances sound). With other headphones I've owned with ANC it takes some of the sound quality away when activated.
We had a 1st gen Echo in our master bathroom for listening to music in the morning th-cam.com/users/postUgkxABghAEkaIDGZfHRBH3D3rBrlraNmnC71 and while in the shower. I didn't realize how tinny and awful the sound output on the original Echo was until we replaced it with the Studio. It was a sonic upgrade far beyond what I was expecting. Just wow. I love it because it's like having speakers IN the shower. My friend likes it because the music is so loud that she can no longer hear me singing. So that's a win-win.
I was struggling with 30s vs 35s but out of nowhere when searching for both I stumbled upon Q35 for $85 - new, sealed box, from shop exposition - so I just went with it.
and are they any good? - i watched other reviews and got the feeling the ppl making those videos just want ppl to buy products using their afiliate links and dont care about if the products actually are good. - just sent back two other headphones
Wow this was an outstanding review, the best I've watched so far for the Q35s. I was also let down by them not having aptX since my S9+ is optmized for playing music with it, but that's a minor issue. Your video also helped me distinguishing their looks clearer as I haven't noticed the matte finish on other reviews I own a pair of Q10s and was impressed by Anker's quality on this segment. Been thinking on upgrading to either the Q30s or the Q35s for their ANC features. This comparison was very important to me and of big help, thanks a bunch!
@@jintei8524 I got the note 20 ultra and man I personally didn't even know ya could go into the developer options until about 2 yrs ago or 1 yr after owning my note 9 and the apt x Def helped once I enabled that amd disabled absolute volume to get Lil louder.... when I read your comment I didn't know if you knew that or not but ima try that out ... and these q35s to me are unreal especially now at only 109.99. Had lot of other over ears and these Def are my favorites!!!!
Thank you so much for the review! I purchased the Q30 around the holidays and find them, by far, the best deal in wireless ANC for the money. Your review is spot on on every point. I tried Sony's and Sennheiser's top of the line and couldn't justify the increase in costs. This has better pairing then both of them and only slightly lesser ANC. Really happy to see the improvements for the Q35, though the jump in price is a bit large and looks like a change in strategy (I think I paid around 80 for my Q30s in November). This gives me high hopes for the Q40s, which may be my next pair (I normally put in about 3000 hrs a year on cans, but 2020 and change to WFH has nearly doubled that!)
I watched your review among some others yesterday and I decided to go with the Q30. Since my phone doesn't support LDAC, the pros of the Q35 stop there for me. Q30 has a tougher carrying bag and the pure plastic finish is a big pro for me. I like the looks of pure ABS after years of use. And as nice as the Q35 look with their matte texture when they're new, every device I have that has this finish starts to get sticky after 2 years of use, when the silky finish decays. Also, the Q30s have a seamless padding. And with 57€ for the Q30 vs 139€ for the Q35 , the Q30s were a no brainer for me.
Thank you! Thank you!!! Finally someone answers the inportant questions!!! I was looking all day for someone to tell me if the NFC starts cold, or if you have to turn on the device beforehand, because it's a deal breaker for me. Thank you again!!
Great review... I found this headphones by accident on the internet and now I want them... was going to get the Q30 but when I saw the Q35 I changed my mind... waiting for a promo (maybe blackfriday) but will definitely get one. Thanks for the review... there's not much difference between both of them but I'll probably go for the Q35 if the price drops anytime soon.
I'm English ,live abroad and could listen to you all day. I like your expressiveness and paused delivery. Oh by the way, I have 2-yr old Q30s, going strong.
@@insidetechltd You're welcome old chap. My Q30s are my best friend for stressful airports and ensuing flights, diminish significantly background noise and are so comfortable all day. Also fold up into small cabin bags.
I've seen numerous reviews praising these, even tried soundcore buds from friends and what can I say I'm impressed. got the Q30s on sale for 60€, can't wait for them to arrive, I'll be updating this comment with first thoughts and later a review
6:14 I have the Q30's. Only 2 gripes: 1) The cushions flattens after a month - thank goodness it has ANC. 2) Plastic bits in the band start breaking after a month.
That was more in depth than I was expecting. You gave me details that I need to know and not just specs, like the fact that you'll actually need some battery power to use the inline mic. Great review dude 👍🏽🙌🏽
I Listened To My My Q45 Wired Passively Powered Off With No Issue At All As Soon As I Got Them And The Sound Is Amazing Wired Powered Off . . . . . SoundCore Space Q45 My Take For Wired Passive Listening I'm Using ZFold3 To Hidizs S9 Pro DAC AMP DONGLE To Space Q45 And WOW AweSomeNess PerSoNiFied . The Q45 ANC is really good SoundCores best yet Right Up There With My XM3s . The Space Q45 sound while punchy is not as punchy as the Life Q35 In The Bass Department . The Bass Up Feature can't currently be used with Custom EQs So it's Pointless for my Uses Further Keeping Space Q45 From Being As Punchy As The Life Q35 In Bass . We Can Listen To These Wired Passively (Powered Off) And The Q45s Sound Absolutely Amazing This Way . The LDAC Sounds Really Good And Gives Wired Listening A Run For It's Money . We Lose Many Features Of The Life Q35 With The Space Q45 . Hopefully A Firmware Update(s) Will Give These Lost Functions To The Q45 . The Q45s Are Heavier With Much Less Cushioning On The Top Where As The Q35 Are Lighter With More Cushioning On Top So Comfort Goes To Q35 . Both Q35 And Q45 Have Excellent Sound With The Q45 Punching Hard And The Q35 Punching Harder . I Enjoy Them Both . Amazon Has Q35 111 Dollars With Discounts And Q45 129 dollars With Discounts . You Can Turn Up The Q45s Bass With Custom EQs But Nothing I've Done Has Made The Q45s As Punchy As The Q35s . For Most I Think You'll Be More Than Happy With The Q45s Bass . I Know I Am . A Blue Variant And A White Variant Are Said To Be Forthcoming So I'll Most Def Be Snagging Them In White .
I just watched a TH-camr who was sponsored by them and loved their products so I decided to look into them. I actually need a new pair of earbuds but I've also have had to admit dissatisfaction with the headphones I have from my "ride or die" brand, Skullcandy, lol. I have their Crusher Evo headphones and love everything audio about them but they *hurt* to wear. You mentioned no pain in the crown of your head with both of the Life headphones and that's what I'm experiencing now. Also, the Crusher's fit tight against my ears, especially the left one, and no matter how I make adjustments, it just hurts. Wearing glasses doesn't help any, but I can't read things or really see in general without them and I'd rather not have to take my glasses off to listen to music. I LOVE Skullcandy and will forever be interested in their new products, but I want some great headphones that aren't too pricey, have good bass (I know these won't be as good as the Crusher's with their Bass Boost slider, but hopefully still decent since they have a dedicated equalizer), and most of all right now, are comfortable. Maybe these Life Q35's are what I've been searching for. Thank you for your very detailed review, you did an amazing job comparing the prior version to the new one and throwing in some similar headphones :)
great review! the most clear and objective review abour the ANC. this is a major issue in my decision to buy a new phone. I work in a place full of disturbing noises (motorcycles, horns, train, neighbor child) and i considering a long list of candidates. I was looking for Q30 but i discovered this new q35. thanks!
Great video! But you did talk a bit too fast for me. The main thing I need to disagree on is that these headphones REALLY WARM my ears! I'm surprised you did not notice that. They definitely increase the temperature of the ears within 30 minutes. It's pretty tough to wear these for a long time in my experience. Yes they're comfortable, but the temperature increase makes them unbearable after an hour. I'm speaking about the Q30's but I have no doubt the Q35's have this issue too.
Thank you so much for reviewing the aux cable in line mic, I was wondering how it sounded because I was planning to buy these to use wired with my PC. Thankfully discord has background noise suppression software built in so I won’t have to worry about background noise as much
Thanks, I'll be getting the q35 and this helps with that decision! I already have the q20 so that would be a great upgrade rather than having a q30 and then buying a q35 as most people said it's not worth it. Also the q20 also have multi-point because I was able to use different devices connected at the same time. I think multi point is a feature for Bluetooth 5 if I recall correctly.
@@jesurunblends well, i returned this and bought the Crusher Evo. Super happy now. Q35 had some inconsistent sound EQs. If you travel a lot and need ANC then go with them or better q45(new). Else look elsewhere. Also most importantly u need to have LDAC support on you phone if u wanna buy Q35. (On most new droids u can enable LDAC In developer mode). iPhone doesn’t support LDAC.
@@PavanMS87 ok ty for your response and information you provided I will be using my Sony Walkman digital hi res player if I get the q35 I hope the headphones sound great , thanks!
A fine review, but perhaps you should note that Apple devices do not support LDAC since LDAC is one of the very few new features which distinguishes the Q35 from the Q30. This is probably yet another reason to hold off on upgrading if LDAC is important to your listening vibe but your listening source is an Apple.
As a Q30 user and lover, got to say Q35 look VERY good, but still doesn't worth the upgrade. Probably will wait for Q40s or whatever next one is named. Thank you so much for the video!
I just bought the q30... Surprising they upgraded the case... It is the same oval casing like q35👍👍😍 Sound is awesome... And the size is perfect... Not bulky as I imaging
Thank you for commenting on this. I just received my Q30 from Amazon yesterday and I have the oval case as well, no molded fitting. Otherwise, all the same. I'm enjoying the Q30 headphones very much!
Wow, not bad. After using the Bose and Sony, I must say these are very close. Love the details covered in the review. One may say that one may not need the button labels once used to the device, but I would like the text color to be bit more readable .. florescent color may be a good consideration.
This review is superb. After I saw this as well as the Q45 one I decided the Q35 at 107 was right up my alley. I've never owned a pair of these headphones ( Honestly I don't really have any new over the ear headphones ), but you certainly sold me on these and I feel pretty good about my choice after watching this video ^_^.
This is an awesome review!!! Had lot of other headphones sony 100xm3 sennheiser momentum. M2 akg n700nc m2 these q35 are easily my favorite!! Soundwise they go toe to toe with these others once ya eq em anc is better than the others besides sony and on top if sounding phenomenal they also get louder than all of em!!! They're on sale for 109.99 right now and in my opinion are the deal of the year. Having spent over 300 on others and gettin this sound and the features the q35s offer they honestly just make me smile everytime I use them... maybe I just appreciate em more after owning the ones I mention plus some other Jabra 85h beats studio 3 and sony xb900n but these are absolutely awesome!!!!
WHAT a great review , totally unbiased, great videography, i think your 1 of the only reviewers who CLEARLY shows close up`s of the buttons and explains the functions CLEARLY, easy to understand and follow, speech not coming at you at 100mph, you`ve got a new subscriber, thankyou for a great video 😁😁
I'm Glad SoundCore Is Doing For Us What They Are Doing Q30 To Q35 To Q45 Soundcore Just Keeps Giving Us Better And Better Ar Prices That Are AweSomeNess PerSoNiFied
I just got a LifeQ30 headset for the low price of 26 dollars during the Summer Sale. Normal price is 80 dollars. I did have to adjust the EQ via a 3rd parts app on PC, (I don't use Android) but I Love these. Noise Reduction works awesome. Sound is Great like the LifeQ10's I owned for 5 years before these. Those are still working strong btw but the ear cups have gotten damaged over the years.
This was a detailed review and a nice comparison video too. Can the default sound signature handle a lot of sounds and instruments in a song without losing clarity and making it hard to tell where sounds are coming from, and imaging (wired/wireless)? Does the bass overwhelm or overpower the mids and highs? Does the AAC and SBC codec for the Life Q35 still produce good or better sound compared to some other higher-end headphones or headphones right at its price? Does the sound change when switching to different modes anymore, after the firmware update? Do the Soundcore Life Q35 headphones remain using a custom EQ after a factory reset or do they change back to the Soundcore Signature? Were you able to hear enough detail and nuances in a song clearly without missing anything that should be heard (wired/wireless)? Does the default sound signature reproduce the sound accurately and cleanly without being muddy (wired/wireless)? Lastly, is the sound signature great for any kind of genre? Thank you!
Thanks, my Q20s broke off and one of the ears doesn't attach anymore so I'm looking to upgrade, this was very helpful and I think I'm going with the Q30s
Great review. My Q20's just died on me (went to put them on and the right ear just pulled off after several years of use). My wife has the Q30s, but really looking at the Q35s as my go-to headphones for music and work from home.
So i received Q35 yesterday, they are much louder than Q10 if i adjust eq for my needs, less bass but they sound good. Found a couple bad things also, wearing detection can't be turned off, that's one thing. Second- the left earphone is way louder and boomier than right one which is very strange but i feel it right away. Third- ANC is almost a myth, if i turn it On and raise volume the bass starts popping like from broken speakers. Did i get a faulty headphones?
Okay so you should be able to turn off wearing detection in the Soundcore app. But the louder, boomier sound in the left earcup is something I experienced too. The first pair of headphones it was really bad, the second pair it was a bit better. Do you experience this listening in noise cancelling mode? Because for me this only happened in “Transparency” and “normal” modes. As for the broken speaker sound, I’m not sure. It could be faulty headphones. So I’d contact Soundcore to troubleshoot these problems!
I have the Q30s and i can say it's normal to get that bass distortion if you raise the volume at max with ANC on because i have the same "issue". (But i can't hear that distortion if i am wearing the headphones)
These questions I’m asking for q30 I watch yt videos a lot on my iphone will i face audio latency How much time it takes idle to turn off What is the life of these in india its not that well known so They support multipoint right? By the way thank you for this review
Oddly enough I prefer the old case with the molding inside and the pocket on the side. I prefer the new color of headphones, it's less cheap, but I think there is a special edition of the Q30 with the same color. But seriously I will not advise anyone to pay double for just a codec and especially a low-end case. Good test 👍🏽 Ps: I would have actually preferred the APTX Adaptive to the LDAC.
What I'd ideally love is the shape/size of the Q35 case but with the outer finish of the Q30 case - I think it's more durable. Thank you for watching though! 👊🏼 Interesting to hear another person say about aptX too, that was my suspicion!
Great video! I can't profess to be super knowledgeable about tech of any sort but this was super comprehensive, yet easy to follow. I'm considering buying the Q30s (they fit more comfortably within my budget) both for personal use and to use for transcription work. Do you think these would be well-suited for transcription? Also, are you aware of a replacement aux cable I could buy for the q30s that would include an inline remote for play/pause and volume controls?
I'm not even 1 min into the video, but I'm just hoping you can use them outside, without the tiniest draft making a super loud noise inside the headphones.
Lol same! I ordered the Q35s but my Galaxy Buds + literally outperform all the over ear cans I buy. We'll see about these but I've returned Bose headphones in favor of my Galaxy Buds.
@@Sk1pperin0 backup because the Soundcore's don't fit in my pocket ;) I now got the Buds Pro. Bought them for 40 bucks thanks to Samsung's cashback promotion. Another good deal :)
My understanding is that the Q30, though not advertised, actually has multi-point too!!!!!!! Let me check... ... ...YES!!!! It absolutely does have multipoint when paired with both my PC and my mobile phone. Very cool.
Honestly, £130 is a dangerous move, it's getting close to Sony' entry level ANC headphones, and all I saw about the Soundcore Q line is getting more and more expensive. But, never buy headphones if they're not on sale, I got my Q20 for £37, good deal.
I still feel like £130 is very reasonable! It’s not as though Sony’s headphones at the price are far better (I don’t think any of them beat these actually)
@@insidetechltd Yeah but Q30 was a huge jump from Q20 in almost every aspect and costed only £30 more, Q35 to Q30 seem to have minor improvements but an extra of £50 was charged.
I guess you're right. But you've also got to consider how the market has changed, so the price change does (in part) reflect that. I think the naming system of Q35 (as opposed to Q40) shows that this isn't as big an upgrade as the Q20 to Q30 jump was, but I also think that price increase only seems more obvious because of how good value previous models were. I agree the price jump isn't as justified as it was before, but the price tag of £130 is still very reasonable (it was just amazing before)
Having owned sony xm3 and then the xb900n I'd easily take the q35 over both. Is anc better on xm3 yes is the sound better..... honestly not in my opinion after Lil tweaking in soundcore app and if people are volume junkies I'm yet to hear a pair that get as loud as the q35. But they smoke the 900n.... I also owned the akg n700nc m2 beats studio 3 Jabra 85h and sennheiser momentum m2..... the q35 soundwise give everyone of these the senns sony and akg all they want for straight up sound... plus they get louder add in fact only 109 right now on amazon and they're so far the best deal for over ears of the the year! All this is in my opinion amd I don't know a ton about audio altho I'm Def an audio junkie but I was disappointed in all the other headphones either sound for price I paid sennheiser and sony or just overall features for the price... as soon as I turned on the q35 I went these r it!!!!! I cannot recommend them enough..... again... especially at 109.99
There's barely anything in it to be honest, but I would say that the 35 fit a little bit more securely because the padding is thicker on the headband and the ear cups
My laptop had a bad audio over the 3.5mm jack since upgrading to Windows 11 - whenever You watch something or listen to something and You minimize it the audio starts to crackle every couple of seconds. I did try everything and could not resolve the issue. I did try the audio with my 2nd gen AirPods and it was completely fine so I was in a search for a BT headset. Found the Q20s first but searched for better options. I was deciding between the Q30 and Q35 but the LDAC codec and auto pause feature was enough to convince me to go with the Q35. Can not wait to have them in two days :)
One of the best reviews I've seen. Although one thing that is always missing in these reviews is how long hours of listening affect your ears if you're wearing glasses. I've had to give away a couple of headphones because of that reason. Depending on the weight and the shape it can be really bothering. Cheers!
Thanks a lot! I'm sorry about that - I don't wear glasses so I don't cover this in my reviews normally. I'm happy to wear some glasses and either of these for a few hours and give you an update though, would that help? If so, let me know which pair you're leaning towards and i'll wear them for a while today with glasses
@@insidetechltd Don't worry man, it was just to add a bit of insight to your reviews because you make such an effort that I thought it would be great if that was also tested. I was leaning towards these Life Q35 and your review just convinced me.
@@insidetechltd The gaming won't be casual and well i do plan on using them with the wired aux connection for gaming to avoid any latency. I believe the inline mic on these is pretty good for that isn't it?
Ok nice 👍🏼 The mic itself is pretty decent, but I honestly couldn’t tell you about performance for gaming. I’m not 100% about the compatibility, is this for mobile gaming, PC or console?
@@insidetechltd well all 3 to be honest lol I don't think there should be compatibility issues since I've owned many soundcore products that functioned with my devices.
Between the Q30 and Q35 (and the Audio-Technica ATH-M20xBT if you're familiar with it), which one would you recommend for using as wired headphones? The Q35 is on sale for $99 CAD right now but I'm not sure about it. My use cases are music, gaming, TH-cam, TV shows and movies.
Thank you! My ears do get a little warm (as with all over-ear headphones) but I think the earcups are large enough that they don't cause them to sweat. Everyone's ears are different though!
Best value for ANC but the audio quality of these is just not that good. The Q30 are often recommended for being cheap, well it shows in their audio output, with bloated, muddy bass and piercing treble.
Definitely Soundcore, the JBL headphones are the next category down I would say. But if you really like JBL's bass-heavy sound signature then possibly worth looking into
Can you use this when running or workout? I mean, does it wear the foams off when exposed to sweat? If yes, are you able to replace the foams specially on the headband?
You can, but I think you will start to wear down the ear pads and Soundcore doesn't seem to provide any official replacement options. Better to get a sweat protected option I think!
Great review!! Thanks for the detailed explanation and comparison. Does anyone know: 1. Can you listen with ANC on while connected to AUX cable if the battery dies? In other words, can the AUX connection deliver power to the headphones? Is that even a thing in these/ other headphones? 2. Does the Bluetooth connect well to Windows and Mac? 3. Can you control the ANC while connected with AUX cable to Window ANC Mac? Thank you so much
@@insidetechltd I think it's just a matter of proper EQ adjustment. Both headsets are certified for high resolution audio. This is what is said about it: "High-resolution audio (Hi-Res Audio) is a digital audio format that can reproduce sound with greater accuracy and detail than standard audio formats. Hi-Res Audio files have higher sampling rates and bit depths, which means they can capture more information and provide a more lifelike sound experience. This results in a higher dynamic range than is possible with compact disc (CD) quality standards" - and - "Some Soundcore models come with Hi-Res Audio certification, which means they meet the highest standards for audio quality and can produce the most accurate representation of what the artist intended. For example, Soundcore's Life Q10 headphones deliver sound up to 40 KHz for a richer, more nuanced listening experience" - This leads me to believe if adjusted properly they should have the same frequency response.

Watched a handful of reviews on the Life Q35s and yours was, by far, the most comprehensive. You covered things that I haven't seen anyone else really touch on like, emphasizing the fact of the insane battery life compared to competitors, as well as Soundcore's app having a music streaming community built within the app. Really nice job on the video!
Being the owner of both, as well, I think you were pretty much spot on with your assessment in comparing the two.
For me, the improvement in audio quality was immediately noticeable. Not that the Q30s are bad (far from it), but, where as, I use a custom EQ for the Q30s, I don't really feel it necessary to use EQ the Q35s. They sound pretty darn great right out of the box. I also feel the comfort has been slightly increased with the upgrade to the ear cups and the headband. I did notice a very, _very_ slight improvement in the ANC, but nothing significant, and definitely not enough of an improvement that I think many would notice. It took me quite a few times of switching the headphones back and forth to actually notice.
I've seen quite a few people knock Soundcore because of the price hike on the Q35s, but I feel that to be pretty unfair. At $80, the previous Q30s were already punching *_waayyy_* above their belt in comparison to the current market leaders. And even at $50 more the same can be said with the Q35s. For the refinement you get with the Q35s, especially in the sound, they are, imo, still well worth the price. Though, as you note in the video, the Q30s are still perhaps more deserving of the title of budget king.
All right, I guess I am also gushing about these phones, lol. Anyways, thanks again for the comprehensive video. The time you spent on it did not go unnoticed. Cheers!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to give your view on this! 🙌🏼 I completely agree with you too! I certainly spent a lot of time switching between the two to test out the difference. I also saw the comments about the price hike, but you’re right, it’s only because the previous prices have so ridiculously cheap! I said that the Q30s take the title for best value ANC headphones, but the 35s would be deserving of the title too at $130. Just look at competition and ask yourself “what else is really competing here?” and it’s hard to find anything better!
Anyway, thanks again for the lovely words and for sharing! 👊🏼
@@insidetechltd Exactly. Even at $130 there isn't really isn't anything competing with them. Their nearest competitor would be themselves..with the Q30s 😆

Okay, I know i've pretty much been gushing over these headphones. But when you think about what's on offer here, and the fact that these are in some cases $200 cheaper than the competitors, I think these are going to be tough to beat in terms of value this year! 🔥
Compared to Bose quite comfort 35 or JBL 650NC do you think either of those are better ?
@@dorate100 I've used both, and the answer is no. The JBLs are not better in any way: build, audio, ANC, and features are all a bit lesser actually. Bose was a bit better on the mid range than the Q30, though from this interview, that may be fixed with the Q35). Neither had better battery life, by a long shot. These are really great headphones and after trying 6 or so different ANCs over Christmas, I went with the Q30 and enjoyed the discount.
@@thenumbers5351 I got the lifetune XR you think that was a good choice ?

Having Them Powered Off Is The Key To Vibrant Wired Listening With Q30 And Q35
Excellent video! I can only comment on the Soundcore Q30 though. OUTSTANDING! I'm a musician, son of a first generation audiophile, so I have a lot of experience in studios wearing headphones and I've benefitted from a lifetime listening to the best audio possible. The Q30 are absolutely one of the very best headphones I've ever used. I wear mine a minimum of 12-14 hours everyday. Comfortable, off the charts. Using mine for over six months already, I haven't even come close to either running out battery time, or even getting a 'low battery' status report/announcement when turning them on. Which is a terrific added feature. And especially since I don't charge them daily since getting them.
The N/C is super, easily blocking out every annoying ambient distraction. A super bonus is the comprehensiveness of the iPhone app. Works terrifically. With video watchers coming here for info on the Q35's (as I did) I'll just end with my highest Q30 endorsement. I don't think I need to upgrade to the Q35s right now, so I'd suggest possible purchasers taking advantage of the lower pricing for the Q30s. You won't be disappointed, I guarantee it.
Ah nice! Thanks for sharing 👌🏼
@@insidetechltd I'm glad you liked it. Just being honest which I always am. Especially concerning anything to do with audio. As well, I'm a huge Soundcore fan satisfactorily owning many of their terrific products. I'm subscribing to your channel as soon as I send this. Again, most gracious thanks.
I love it when users of a product leave their own opinions like these. Thank you!
Do people around you hear the sound? Do the sound leak?
You forget to add the ANC mode on the Q30 do not affect the sound quality of music (some how enhances sound). With other headphones I've owned with ANC it takes some of the sound quality away when activated.
We had a 1st gen Echo in our master bathroom for listening to music in the morning th-cam.com/users/postUgkxABghAEkaIDGZfHRBH3D3rBrlraNmnC71 and while in the shower. I didn't realize how tinny and awful the sound output on the original Echo was until we replaced it with the Studio. It was a sonic upgrade far beyond what I was expecting. Just wow. I love it because it's like having speakers IN the shower. My friend likes it because the music is so loud that she can no longer hear me singing. So that's a win-win.
I was struggling with 30s vs 35s but out of nowhere when searching for both I stumbled upon Q35 for $85 - new, sealed box, from shop exposition - so I just went with it.
and are they any good? - i watched other reviews and got the feeling the ppl making those videos just want ppl to buy products using their afiliate links and dont care about if the products actually are good. - just sent back two other headphones
Wow this was an outstanding review, the best I've watched so far for the Q35s. I was also let down by them not having aptX since my S9+ is optmized for playing music with it, but that's a minor issue. Your video also helped me distinguishing their looks clearer as I haven't noticed the matte finish on other reviews
I own a pair of Q10s and was impressed by Anker's quality on this segment. Been thinking on upgrading to either the Q30s or the Q35s for their ANC features. This comparison was very important to me and of big help, thanks a bunch!
That's great to hear, thank you! 👊🏼
If you go into developer options in your s9+ I think you should have ldac.
@@wadec6799 it indeed supports LDAC since its code is open source on Android but aptX runs smoother on Qualcomm chipsets
@@jintei8524 I got the note 20 ultra and man I personally didn't even know ya could go into the developer options until about 2 yrs ago or 1 yr after owning my note 9 and the apt x Def helped once I enabled that amd disabled absolute volume to get Lil louder.... when I read your comment I didn't know if you knew that or not but ima try that out ... and these q35s to me are unreal especially now at only 109.99. Had lot of other over ears and these Def are my favorites!!!!
Thank you so much for the review! I purchased the Q30 around the holidays and find them, by far, the best deal in wireless ANC for the money. Your review is spot on on every point. I tried Sony's and Sennheiser's top of the line and couldn't justify the increase in costs. This has better pairing then both of them and only slightly lesser ANC. Really happy to see the improvements for the Q35, though the jump in price is a bit large and looks like a change in strategy (I think I paid around 80 for my Q30s in November). This gives me high hopes for the Q40s, which may be my next pair (I normally put in about 3000 hrs a year on cans, but 2020 and change to WFH has nearly doubled that!)
Ah nice! Thanks a lot for watching and sharing your thoughts!
I watched your review among some others yesterday and I decided to go with the Q30.
Since my phone doesn't support LDAC, the pros of the Q35 stop there for me.
Q30 has a tougher carrying bag and the pure plastic finish is a big pro for me. I like the looks of pure ABS after years of use.
And as nice as the Q35 look with their matte texture when they're new, every device I have that has this finish starts to get sticky after 2 years of use, when the silky finish decays.
Also, the Q30s have a seamless padding.
And with 57€ for the Q30 vs 139€ for the Q35 , the Q30s were a no brainer for me.
That price difference alone seems like a no brainer! I hope you like them 👌🏼
In germany it's like 49€ vs 79€ :)

Great review... I found this headphones by accident on the internet and now I want them... was going to get the Q30 but when I saw the Q35 I changed my mind... waiting for a promo (maybe blackfriday) but will definitely get one. Thanks for the review... there's not much difference between both of them but I'll probably go for the Q35 if the price drops anytime soon.
Thank you! Honestly, whichever one you get they're both pretty great!

6:14 I have the Q30's. Only 2 gripes:
1) The cushions flattens after a month - thank goodness it has ANC.
2) Plastic bits in the band start breaking after a month.
I've seen a few people say that about the headband 😕 not experienced that myself though!
That was more in depth than I was expecting. You gave me details that I need to know and not just specs, like the fact that you'll actually need some battery power to use the inline mic. Great review dude 👍🏽🙌🏽

I Listened To My My Q45 Wired Passively Powered Off With No Issue At All As Soon As I Got Them And The Sound Is Amazing Wired Powered Off . . . . .
SoundCore Space Q45 My Take
For Wired Passive Listening I'm Using ZFold3 To Hidizs S9 Pro DAC AMP DONGLE To Space Q45 And WOW AweSomeNess PerSoNiFied .
The Q45 ANC is really good SoundCores best yet Right Up There With My XM3s .
The Space Q45 sound while punchy is not as punchy as the Life Q35 In The Bass Department .
The Bass Up Feature can't currently be used with Custom EQs So it's Pointless for my Uses Further Keeping Space Q45 From Being As Punchy As The Life Q35 In Bass .
We Can Listen To These Wired Passively (Powered Off) And The Q45s Sound Absolutely Amazing This Way .
The LDAC Sounds Really Good And Gives Wired Listening A Run For It's Money .
We Lose Many Features Of The Life Q35 With The Space Q45 . Hopefully A Firmware Update(s) Will Give These Lost Functions To The Q45 . The Q45s Are Heavier With Much Less Cushioning On The Top Where As The Q35 Are Lighter With More Cushioning On Top So Comfort Goes To Q35 .
Both Q35 And Q45 Have Excellent Sound With The Q45 Punching Hard And The Q35 Punching Harder .
I Enjoy Them Both . Amazon Has Q35 111 Dollars With Discounts And Q45 129 dollars With Discounts .
You Can Turn Up The Q45s Bass With Custom EQs But Nothing I've Done Has Made The Q45s As Punchy As The Q35s .
For Most I Think You'll Be More Than Happy With The Q45s Bass . I Know I Am .
A Blue Variant And A White Variant Are Said To Be Forthcoming So I'll Most Def Be Snagging Them In White .
I just watched a TH-camr who was sponsored by them and loved their products so I decided to look into them. I actually need a new pair of earbuds but I've also have had to admit dissatisfaction with the headphones I have from my "ride or die" brand, Skullcandy, lol. I have their Crusher Evo headphones and love everything audio about them but they *hurt* to wear. You mentioned no pain in the crown of your head with both of the Life headphones and that's what I'm experiencing now. Also, the Crusher's fit tight against my ears, especially the left one, and no matter how I make adjustments, it just hurts. Wearing glasses doesn't help any, but I can't read things or really see in general without them and I'd rather not have to take my glasses off to listen to music.
I LOVE Skullcandy and will forever be interested in their new products, but I want some great headphones that aren't too pricey, have good bass (I know these won't be as good as the Crusher's with their Bass Boost slider, but hopefully still decent since they have a dedicated equalizer), and most of all right now, are comfortable. Maybe these Life Q35's are what I've been searching for. Thank you for your very detailed review, you did an amazing job comparing the prior version to the new one and throwing in some similar headphones :)
Thank you very much - I agree, Skullcandy will be more bass-focussed, but i'd recommend you check them out!
great review! the most clear and objective review abour the ANC. this is a major issue in my decision to buy a new phone. I work in a place full of disturbing noises (motorcycles, horns, train, neighbor child) and i considering a long list of candidates. I was looking for Q30 but i discovered this new q35. thanks!
Awesome, thanks a lot!
Great video! But you did talk a bit too fast for me. The main thing I need to disagree on is that these headphones REALLY WARM my ears! I'm surprised you did not notice that. They definitely increase the temperature of the ears within 30 minutes. It's pretty tough to wear these for a long time in my experience. Yes they're comfortable, but the temperature increase makes them unbearable after an hour. I'm speaking about the Q30's but I have no doubt the Q35's have this issue too.
Everybody said what i came here to write so keep up the wonderful reviews. You sir are top notch!👌
Thank you!
Thank you so much for reviewing the aux cable in line mic, I was wondering how it sounded because I was planning to buy these to use wired with my PC. Thankfully discord has background noise suppression software built in so I won’t have to worry about background noise as much
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Thanks, I'll be getting the q35 and this helps with that decision! I already have the q20 so that would be a great upgrade rather than having a q30 and then buying a q35 as most people said it's not worth it.
Also the q20 also have multi-point because I was able to use different devices connected at the same time. I think multi point is a feature for Bluetooth 5 if I recall correctly.
Not all bluetooth 5 devices have multipoint, plenty don't! Good that soundcore includes it though

@@jesurunblends well, i returned this and bought the Crusher Evo. Super happy now. Q35 had some inconsistent sound EQs. If you travel a lot and need ANC then go with them or better q45(new). Else look elsewhere. Also most importantly u need to have LDAC support on you phone if u wanna buy Q35. (On most new droids u can enable LDAC In developer mode). iPhone doesn’t support LDAC.
@@PavanMS87 ok ty for your response and information you provided I will be using my Sony Walkman digital hi res player if I get the q35 I hope the headphones sound great , thanks!
A fine review, but perhaps you should note that Apple devices do not support LDAC since LDAC is one of the very few new features which distinguishes the Q35 from the Q30. This is probably yet another reason to hold off on upgrading if LDAC is important to your listening vibe but your listening source is an Apple.
that's right 👍🏼
As a Q30 user and lover, got to say Q35 look VERY good, but still doesn't worth the upgrade. Probably will wait for Q40s or whatever next one is named. Thank you so much for the video!
I think that's a good decision 👌🏼
I just bought the q30... Surprising they upgraded the case... It is the same oval casing like q35👍👍😍
Sound is awesome... And the size is perfect... Not bulky as I imaging

Thank you for commenting on this. I just received my Q30 from Amazon yesterday and I have the oval case as well, no molded fitting. Otherwise, all the same. I'm enjoying the Q30 headphones very much!
@@mbro9700 how much is it?
The mic alone sold me on the Q35. And it's prime day so I will be grabbing these
Wow, not bad. After using the Bose and Sony, I must say these are very close. Love the details covered in the review. One may say that one may not need the button labels once used to the device, but I would like the text color to be bit more readable .. florescent color may be a good consideration.
Thanks for watching!
This review is superb. After I saw this as well as the Q45 one I decided the Q35 at 107 was right up my alley. I've never owned a pair of these headphones ( Honestly I don't really have any new over the ear headphones ), but you certainly sold me on these and I feel pretty good about my choice after watching this video ^_^.

This is an awesome review!!! Had lot of other headphones sony 100xm3 sennheiser momentum. M2 akg n700nc m2 these q35 are easily my favorite!! Soundwise they go toe to toe with these others once ya eq em anc is better than the others besides sony and on top if sounding phenomenal they also get louder than all of em!!! They're on sale for 109.99 right now and in my opinion are the deal of the year. Having spent over 300 on others and gettin this sound and the features the q35s offer they honestly just make me smile everytime I use them... maybe I just appreciate em more after owning the ones I mention plus some other Jabra 85h beats studio 3 and sony xb900n but these are absolutely awesome!!!!
Yup, awesome value for money!

I just got a LifeQ30 headset for the low price of 26 dollars during the Summer Sale. Normal price is 80 dollars. I did have to adjust the EQ via a 3rd parts app on PC, (I don't use Android) but I Love these. Noise Reduction works awesome. Sound is Great like the LifeQ10's I owned for 5 years before these. Those are still working strong btw but the ear cups have gotten damaged over the years.
This was a detailed review and a nice comparison video too.
Can the default sound signature handle a lot of sounds and instruments in a song without losing clarity and making it hard to tell where sounds are coming from, and imaging (wired/wireless)? Does the bass overwhelm or overpower the mids and highs? Does the AAC and SBC codec for the Life Q35 still produce good or better sound compared to some other higher-end headphones or headphones right at its price? Does the sound change when switching to different modes anymore, after the firmware update? Do the Soundcore Life Q35 headphones remain using a custom EQ after a factory reset or do they change back to the Soundcore Signature? Were you able to hear enough detail and nuances in a song clearly without missing anything that should be heard (wired/wireless)? Does the default sound signature reproduce the sound accurately and cleanly without being muddy (wired/wireless)? Lastly, is the sound signature great for any kind of genre?
Thank you!

Great review. My Q20's just died on me (went to put them on and the right ear just pulled off after several years of use). My wife has the Q30s, but really looking at the Q35s as my go-to headphones for music and work from home.

Did you ever order the Q35? Which is louder in ur opinion Q30 or Q35?
Got the q35 at $48, the performance and sound quality is insane at this price point.
Wow!
Howw
Does the sound league even if my music full loud ?
Such a good review and high production value! Subbed.
Awesome, thanks a lot! 😄
So i received Q35 yesterday, they are much louder than Q10 if i adjust eq for my needs, less bass but they sound good. Found a couple bad things also, wearing detection can't be turned off, that's one thing. Second- the left earphone is way louder and boomier than right one which is very strange but i feel it right away. Third- ANC is almost a myth, if i turn it On and raise volume the bass starts popping like from broken speakers. Did i get a faulty headphones?
Okay so you should be able to turn off wearing detection in the Soundcore app. But the louder, boomier sound in the left earcup is something I experienced too. The first pair of headphones it was really bad, the second pair it was a bit better. Do you experience this listening in noise cancelling mode? Because for me this only happened in “Transparency” and “normal” modes.
As for the broken speaker sound, I’m not sure. It could be faulty headphones. So I’d contact Soundcore to troubleshoot these problems!
Can you say a bit more about hows the bass??
I have the Q30s and i can say it's normal to get that bass distortion if you raise the volume at max with ANC on because i have the same "issue". (But i can't hear that distortion if i am wearing the headphones)
These questions I’m asking for q30
I watch yt videos a lot on my iphone will i face audio latency
How much time it takes idle to turn off
What is the life of these in india its not that well known so
They support multipoint right?
By the way thank you for this review
Oddly enough I prefer the old case with the molding inside and the pocket on the side.
I prefer the new color of headphones, it's less cheap, but I think there is a special edition of the Q30 with the same color.
But seriously I will not advise anyone to pay double for just a codec and especially a low-end case.
Good test 👍🏽
Ps: I would have actually preferred the APTX Adaptive to the LDAC.
What I'd ideally love is the shape/size of the Q35 case but with the outer finish of the Q30 case - I think it's more durable.
Thank you for watching though! 👊🏼 Interesting to hear another person say about aptX too, that was my suspicion!
Very informative review, thank you! Will transparency mode also work in phone/virtual meeting calls as well?
Should I get this or the sennheiser 450se?
Definitely a great review! appreciate it 👍🏻
Thank you 🙌🏼
Great video! I can't profess to be super knowledgeable about tech of any sort but this was super comprehensive, yet easy to follow. I'm considering buying the Q30s (they fit more comfortably within my budget) both for personal use and to use for transcription work. Do you think these would be well-suited for transcription? Also, are you aware of a replacement aux cable I could buy for the q30s that would include an inline remote for play/pause and volume controls?
Did you buy the headphones?
I'm not even 1 min into the video, but I'm just hoping you can use them outside, without the tiniest draft making a super loud noise inside the headphones.
Just bought the Q30 for 55 bucks (Amazon Prime day). These will do fine as backup headphones to my Galaxy Buds. Thanks for the detailed review!
Wow, nice! 😏
Backup? These sound nicer to my ears. You do have yo tune them with the eq within the app to get the maximum sound quality.

My understanding is that the Q30, though not advertised, actually has multi-point too!!!!!!! Let me check... ... ...YES!!!! It absolutely does have multipoint when paired with both my PC and my mobile phone. Very cool.
Underrated headphones with a flagship feature 👌🏼
The new Q30 storage case uses the newer round shape but retains the fabric.
I don't like that they replaced the cables compartment with a pouch.
I got the Q30 for 62 euros in a deal thanks for this review.
nice!
Honestly, £130 is a dangerous move, it's getting close to Sony' entry level ANC headphones, and all I saw about the Soundcore Q line is getting more and more expensive. But, never buy headphones if they're not on sale, I got my Q20 for £37, good deal.
I still feel like £130 is very reasonable! It’s not as though Sony’s headphones at the price are far better (I don’t think any of them beat these actually)
@@insidetechltd Yeah but Q30 was a huge jump from Q20 in almost every aspect and costed only £30 more, Q35 to Q30 seem to have minor improvements but an extra of £50 was charged.
I guess you're right. But you've also got to consider how the market has changed, so the price change does (in part) reflect that. I think the naming system of Q35 (as opposed to Q40) shows that this isn't as big an upgrade as the Q20 to Q30 jump was, but I also think that price increase only seems more obvious because of how good value previous models were. I agree the price jump isn't as justified as it was before, but the price tag of £130 is still very reasonable (it was just amazing before)
Having owned sony xm3 and then the xb900n I'd easily take the q35 over both. Is anc better on xm3 yes is the sound better..... honestly not in my opinion after Lil tweaking in soundcore app and if people are volume junkies I'm yet to hear a pair that get as loud as the q35. But they smoke the 900n.... I also owned the akg n700nc m2 beats studio 3 Jabra 85h and sennheiser momentum m2..... the q35 soundwise give everyone of these the senns sony and akg all they want for straight up sound... plus they get louder add in fact only 109 right now on amazon and they're so far the best deal for over ears of the the year! All this is in my opinion amd I don't know a ton about audio altho I'm Def an audio junkie but I was disappointed in all the other headphones either sound for price I paid sennheiser and sony or just overall features for the price... as soon as I turned on the q35 I went these r it!!!!! I cannot recommend them enough..... again... especially at 109.99
I'm getting headphones for mostly gym use. Do either of these fit more security for things like workouts where I'm moving around?
There's barely anything in it to be honest, but I would say that the 35 fit a little bit more securely because the padding is thicker on the headband and the ear cups
My laptop had a bad audio over the 3.5mm jack since upgrading to Windows 11 - whenever You watch something or listen to something and You minimize it the audio starts to crackle every couple of seconds. I did try everything and could not resolve the issue. I did try the audio with my 2nd gen AirPods and it was completely fine so I was in a search for a BT headset. Found the Q20s first but searched for better options. I was deciding between the Q30 and Q35 but the LDAC codec and auto pause feature was enough to convince me to go with the Q35. Can not wait to have them in two days :)
Great review
+I like your calming voice
Thank you very much 💚
Awesome review. Really concise and definitely helped me pick, I struggle so much with headphones because there's so many to choose from.
Thank you for watching 👊🏼
Can someone help me,
Is it good for workout?
One of the best reviews I've seen. Although one thing that is always missing in these reviews is how long hours of listening affect your ears if you're wearing glasses. I've had to give away a couple of headphones because of that reason. Depending on the weight and the shape it can be really bothering. Cheers!
Thanks a lot!
I'm sorry about that - I don't wear glasses so I don't cover this in my reviews normally. I'm happy to wear some glasses and either of these for a few hours and give you an update though, would that help? If so, let me know which pair you're leaning towards and i'll wear them for a while today with glasses
@@insidetechltd Don't worry man, it was just to add a bit of insight to your reviews because you make such an effort that I thought it would be great if that was also tested. I was leaning towards these Life Q35 and your review just convinced me.
Ah okay, well thanks for the feedback - it's useful to know!
@@insidetechltd I can confirm they are comfortable if you wear glasses :) The ANC is awesome.
I notices the bass is a bit more on the left too.
you have a very good easy to understand voice
Glad to hear it!
Planning on using a headset for casual use and gaming. Would you recommend these headphones?
If the gaming is casual too, then yes. But if you want ultra low latency for gaming (i.e. with shooters) then you might want to look elsewhere
@@insidetechltd The gaming won't be casual and well i do plan on using them with the wired aux connection for gaming to avoid any latency. I believe the inline mic on these is pretty good for that isn't it?
Ok nice 👍🏼 The mic itself is pretty decent, but I honestly couldn’t tell you about performance for gaming. I’m not 100% about the compatibility, is this for mobile gaming, PC or console?
@@insidetechltd well all 3 to be honest lol I don't think there should be compatibility issues since I've owned many soundcore products that functioned with my devices.
I am about to get the q35s and I am sooo exited now
Between the Q30 and Q35 (and the Audio-Technica ATH-M20xBT if you're familiar with it), which one would you recommend for using as wired headphones? The Q35 is on sale for $99 CAD right now but I'm not sure about it.
My use cases are music, gaming, TH-cam, TV shows and movies.
Thanks, just what I needed to buy a pair of headphones!
Thanks for watching!
Great video review thanks for taking the time to film and share 👍. Do they cause a lot of ear sweat after wearing for a few hours?
Thank you! My ears do get a little warm (as with all over-ear headphones) but I think the earcups are large enough that they don't cause them to sweat. Everyone's ears are different though!
Awsome...its a shame the logo looks like a knock off beats 😳🎧
How have I not realised this until now?! I personally quite like it, I think it’s pretty clean. But you’re totally right! 😅
Awesome review, thank you :)
Thanks a lot!
watching with my q30 now ^^
Nice 👌🏼
Best value for ANC but the audio quality of these is just not that good. The Q30 are often recommended for being cheap, well it shows in their audio output, with bloated, muddy bass and piercing treble.
Not all heroes wear caps. Thanks for the fantastic review.
Some just leave nice TH-cam comments 👌🏼
Thanks, this was awesome review 🤯
I was wondering if the headset also works for gaming
Great comparison! I was thinking about buying jbl 750btnc before watching this. Can you please tell me which is better this one or the jbl 750btnc?
Definitely Soundcore, the JBL headphones are the next category down I would say. But if you really like JBL's bass-heavy sound signature then possibly worth looking into
These headphones are extraordinary! Especially that app eq! They sound like they should be double as much! 🔥🔥💯💯
Oh yeah, for sure! 🔥
Can you use this when running or workout? I mean, does it wear the foams off when exposed to sweat? If yes, are you able to replace the foams specially on the headband?
You can, but I think you will start to wear down the ear pads and Soundcore doesn't seem to provide any official replacement options. Better to get a sweat protected option I think!
Got mine for 110$ on Amazon can’t wait till these arrive
Nice, I hope you like them!
Great review!! Thanks for the detailed explanation and comparison. Does anyone know:
1. Can you listen with ANC on while connected to AUX cable if the battery dies? In other words, can the AUX connection deliver power to the headphones? Is that even a thing in these/ other headphones?
2. Does the Bluetooth connect well to Windows and Mac?
3. Can you control the ANC while connected with AUX cable to Window ANC Mac?
Thank you so much
1. You can listen, but not with ANC (ANC always needs battery power).
2. Yes
3. Yes
I love how you review things
That's very kind, thanks a lot!
Perfect video - thank you!
Ah that's lovely to hear, thank you so much!
Great review and comparison. Really appreciate they added ldac support but too bad there is no aptx as you mentioned
Thanks a lot for watching!
The review was very good,
Which one is better into sound quality and clarity?
1More sonoflow vs Soundcore Q35
Thank you! I would say the Q35 have better sound 👍🏼
@@insidetechltd I think it's just a matter of proper EQ adjustment. Both headsets are certified for high resolution audio. This is what is said about it: "High-resolution audio (Hi-Res Audio) is a digital audio format that can reproduce sound with greater accuracy and detail than standard audio formats. Hi-Res Audio files have higher sampling rates and bit depths, which means they can capture more information and provide a more lifelike sound experience. This results in a higher dynamic range than is possible with compact disc (CD) quality standards" - and - "Some Soundcore models come with Hi-Res Audio certification, which means they meet the highest standards for audio quality and can produce the most accurate representation of what the artist intended. For example, Soundcore's Life Q10 headphones deliver sound up to 40 KHz for a richer, more nuanced listening experience" - This leads me to believe if adjusted properly they should have the same frequency response.
Thanks a lot for the review. I like bass music a lot. Do you think I should take Q30 ? Or Q35 have the same good bass ?
Thanks for advice in advance.
Both have great bass, so if you find the Q30 are cheaper you can still go for them!
Jbl 760 nc vs q10 vs q30 vs q35 ... which one you prefer for gym nd casual listening
