5.0 out of 5 starsGo go go!!!
Reviewed in Canada on January 18, 2021
I listened to a lot of reviews before buying this headset. For trying the XM4, for 1/5 the price, that's fantastic. The app works great, it's simple, maybe a bit too much. The noise reducer is doing a sufficient job for me. Connecting 2 devices is magic. The battery, between 40 and 60 hours! And the sound! I am a professional musician in the symphony orchestras in Montreal, that’s a yes without hesitation. I just had some fry (little sizzle) on the right side one night, I keep my 5 star but I'm listening, hope it doesn't come back.

J’ai écouté pleins de review avant d’acheter ce casque. Pour avoir essayé le XM4, pour le 1/5 du prix, c’est fantastique. L’application fonctionne très bien, c’est simple, peut-être un peu trop. Le réducteur de bruit fait un travail suffisant pour moi. La connexion 2 appareils c’est magique. La batterie, entre 40 et 60 heures! Et le son! Je suis musicien professionnel dans les orchestres symphonique à Montréal, c’est un oui sans hésitation. J’ai juste eu de la friture (petit grésillement) du côté droit un soir, je garde mon 5 étoiles mais je suis à l’écoute, j’espère que ça ne va pas revenir.

1.0 out of 5 starsSo comfortable! Sound quality is honestly some of the best I've had at this price.
Reviewed in Canada on December 4, 2020
After watching a few reviews I decided to give these headphones a try! SUPER clean sound, the comfort was so nice and the headphones themselves were nice and light. Battery life seems to be top notch and the overall quality feels very premium for the price. Pleased with my purchase.

Update: Seems like noise canceling has an issue. I'm receiving these strange "clicks" of sort when listening to anything with noise canceling on. Really disappointing since these headphones were great overall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly, highly recommended. For the price I don't think you could do better.
Reviewed in Canada on January 18, 2021

UPDATE:
Anker-CA customer support reached out to me and sent a replacement pair of Q30 headphones. I have waited a few days before updating my review while wearing them as much as possible, just to be sure there was no creaking. And there is not. I have to say, these things are amazing, especially for the price.
PROS:
• Bluetooth always connects immediately and the Bluetooth range is beyond anything I’ve ever experienced. I live in a two-story house and I can leave my phone on my desk on the main floor and get perfect reception on the second floor. I even walked out to my car in the driveway one day and stayed totally connected without a hiccup.
• Battery life also is beyond anything I’ve ever experienced in a pair of headphones. I haven't actually measured the hours but I have gone five days without having to recharge and it still has 20% remaining.
• They are extremely comfortable. No sense of pressure on my head and feel very light.
• The audio quality is very good. I’m not an audiophile but the sound quality along with the equalizer options offered through the phone app is better than anything I have previously experienced.
• Noise canceling is quite good from what I’ve experienced. I live in a remote area so there’s no road traffic to tell how effective the NC is for that and I'll have to wait till we can fly again before I can comment on how they handle aircraft engine noise.
• Customer service - Anker went out of their way to make sure I was satisfied.
CONS:
• While these are very comfortable, I would describe the fit as loose. They’re not something you could wear during a workout or a jog. I've had them fall off once when I leaned over a little too far while standing at my kitchen counter.
BOTTOM LINE:
• Highly, highly recommended. For the price I don't think you could do better.

Previous review:
I watched at least 8 YouTube reviews of the Q30s and felt very confident in purchasing them. The audio is excellent. The phone app is a joy to use. The fit is great. The number of hours on a charge is amazing. But unfortunately they creak somewhere in the structure. And it’s transmitted right into the ear cups. Both of ear cups constantly creaking. The left is the worst. My choice of music is a combination of instrumental jazz, classical and New Age so I'm always hearing the creaking. I also like to use NC headphones for silence while I’m meditating. That’s when the creaking is most distracting. It reminds me an older house that is not airtight, and every time there’s a wind storm there is that one door that creaks. That’s what these headphones are like. I have a set of 8 year-old (wired) Bose AE2s that are solid as new with never a creak. If it wasn't for the incessant creaking on these Q30s I'd give them 5 stars. Sadly, I will be returning them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised the the quality and performance. Great value.
Reviewed in Canada on January 25, 2021
Color Name: blackVerified Purchase
I purchased these primarily to block out ambient noise when working, and they do a very good job at this. I can't speak to how well the noise cancelling works on these vs. more expensive options, but considering the cost, I was really surprised. Put them on, activate the noise cancelling, and the world around you disappears. It's oddly soothing.

Audio quality (headphones as well as microphone), build quality, battery life, comfort of ear cups and headband all feel really good for the price as well.

Weird quirks:
- The battery remaining doesn't report correctly, and stays at 80% charge for a really long time. The battery lasts about a full week of work, and about halfway through the week they are still reporting 80% battery.

- Microphone quality was not great out of the box, but is fixed by a firmware update that is easily installed via the Soundcore app.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bought a bunch of sub $150 headphones, ended up keeping these
Reviewed in Canada on November 28, 2021
Color Name: blackVerified Purchase
My roommates had a kid, and all of a sudden me listening to tv through my speakers in the middle of the night became an issue. So I needed to find some headphones that:

1. Fit my giant head
2. Were wireless so I could walk around while listening.
3. Weren't $400. Which seemed to be the price for a really good set of wireless headphones.

I ended up buying a few sets of headphones from a variety of manufacturers in the sub $100 range. As part of the first batch I ended up getting an Anker Q20+ which ended up being my favorite of the bunch. I had clicking and popping issues in the end so I decided to return the Q20's and then bought a few more expensive headphones in the $100-150 range including the Q30, I had thought about the Q35 but I mostly want these to watch TV so LDAC wasn't a high priority. Again, I liked the Anker headphones best and kept them. Turns out I should've waited for black Friday as they dropped in price drastically and Amazon wouldn't give me the new price. I would've had to return them and buy them again which I found awfully silly.

The Q30's also seem to suffer from the clicking & popping issue. But after some playing around and more shopping, the issue stemmed from the cheap Bluetooth radio I was using. I upgraded to a PCI-E Bluetooth card with proper antennas and most of those issues have disappeared, and as a bonus the range has increased drastically. Sometimes I'll get gaps during playback but that seems to from me using Spacial effects in Windows.

All in all I'm quite impressed so far, sure some Bose or Sennheiser headphones would've been nice but im watching stereo TV shows and listening to spotify. While I don't need anything fancy, I find the build quality to be quite good on these. They're comfortable, sound good and while the noise cancelling can be spotty its better than not having any.

5.0 out of 5 stars After a few days of use, it's hard to beat these around a 100$CAD
Reviewed in Canada on May 2, 2022
Color Name: blueVerified Purchase
As a musician/producer/mixer and just general music lover, I already have a bunch of headphones and high-end audio gear. Now looking for a simple wireless option for things around the house (dog walking, working in the yard and so on).

I was getting ready to buy the SONY XM4... but after seeing a few reviews of the Soundcore Q30's, I had to try and why not save in the process! For general work around the house, music and divers listening such as podcasts and videos, these are just fantastic. Coming from a music studio and mixing background, I can attest to the general audio quality of the Q30's. Note : the Q30's have WAY TOO much bass by default, but I guess it's easier to remove than to add (EQ accessible in phone App to make it like you want - first thing I did is bring down the bass to a reasonable level - default level was just killing music in general).

So if you are looking for a somewhat "neutral listening experience", these aren't really for you. But if you are looking for a low-priced quality alternative and headphones that will bring you the bass till tomorrow, these are fantastic.

Fit, Finish, Feel and general quality is very acceptable. Little buttons on the unit feel very "normal", but it doesn't remove anything from the usability. As my son has XM4's, of course you can feel the difference in quality (both audible and tactile), but is it worth 300$CAD more? NO.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly fantastic!
Reviewed in Canada on April 15, 2021
Color Name: blackVerified Purchase
This was my first time buying an Anker headphone and I'm glad I picked it.

Some highlights:
Audio quality - Great! Music and voices were clear.

Active Noise Cancelling - Worked better than I thought it would for a "mid-range" headphone. The headphone provide passive noise isolataion and the active noise cancelling helps remove other sounds so I don't have to crank up the volume when I'm trying to focus on a task. Note: it doesn't cancel out all external noise.

Modes - Changing between modes like noise cancelling and transparency is easy since there is a dedicated touch control on the side of the headphone. Transparency mode allows for music and environmental noice to be hear clearly.

Bluetooth - easy to set up and responsive

Carrying case - comes with a hardshell carrying case! Not many headphones at this price point will provide a hardshell case.

Comfort - The headphone material does get a little warm for extended periods of use

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely perfect for the price
Reviewed in Canada on May 28, 2022
Color Name: blueVerified Purchase
The sound quality is quite good, pretty decent bass not too muddy in mids and highs, custom EQ allows adjustments to make it really great (default and preset EQs are mediocre) and the set EQ still works on 2nd device. I'm sure there are more expensive audiophile headphones that sound better, but 4x or more to justify paying 4x or more? I doubt it and no thanks.
I have an average head and ear size, they are extremely comfortable. I can wear it for hours with no discomfort.
The battery lasts 60 hours with no ANC, no false advertising there.
Bluetooth connection is stable and range is better than most BT devices I have used. I can actually leave the room and not have the connection become unstable.
The ANC may not be as good as Sony top of the line, but is quite decent. The sound does change with ANC engaged, so it needs its own custom EQ setting. (In the app you can create, name and save a bunch of custom EQ)
One of my big uses is watching tv. Sound is well synced and I've only had issue connecting directly to my tv (sound gets screechy distortion/cracking at higher volume) but it has no issues connected to phone, fire stick, cable box and PC. (from my research of various headphones pre-purchase, it is not uncommon to have issues with smart tvs connected via BT, I don't think it is the fault of headphones. )
The 2 device connection isn't flawless (for example, getting it to switch back to first device without disconnecting 2nd even though 2nd has no sound being output...) , but it is easy to use and connects without issue.
In conclusion, I can't imagine finding a better pair of headphones anywhere near the price, I'm so very happy with these q30 headphones . After watching reviews/comparisons on YT post-purchase, I think it might be difficult to find a truly better pair even paying 4x as much.

English: Considering the price and that they are really comfortable and the panoply of possibilities offered to personalize the sound of these headphones using the Soundcore application compatible with Android and IOS I do not see any big flaws in these headphones and for a times no need to spend more than $ 300 to enjoy quality sound. I am not saying that they are the best on the market but at this price and the quality of construction which seems really impeccable to me, I do not hesitate for a second to recommend them because I love them !!!. This is not the first Anker product that I buy and it surely is not the last either. Thank you Anker for this little wonder at this price. !!!

French: Compte tenu du prix et qu'ils sont vraiment confortables et les possibilités offertes de personnaliser le son de ces écouteurs à l'aide de l'application Soundcore compatible Android et IOS je ne vois pas de gros défauts à ces écouteurs et pour une fois nul besoin de dépenser plus de 300$ pour profiter d'un son de qualité. Je ne dis pas que ce sont les meilleurs sur le marché mais à ce prix et la qualité de construction qui me semble vraiment impeccable, je n'hésite pas une seconde à les recommander car moi je les adore !!!. Ce n'est pas le premier produit Anker que j'achète et ce n'est sûrement pas le dernier non plus. Merci Anker pour cette petite merveille à ce prix.!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars I think the bad reviews here are just really picky buyers
Reviewed in Canada on June 9, 2022
Color Name: blackVerified Purchase
These headphones are great. Not sure what the bad reviews are about, maybe these folks are sound engineers with crazy high standards? I’ve been using them daily for about 4 days and move seamlessly between the aux cord and Bluetooth. Having the cord is priceless. The noise cancelling is good for any average user. Sound quality is great and these are super comfy on my head. I’ve worn them for upwards of 2 hours straight, with glasses on, no issues. The case is also pretty sweet and these headphones look great too. I think they’d be a great fit for anyone who’s consistently owned cheaper earbuds and headphones (under $70) and is looking for something a little higher quality.
