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
Color Name: blackVerified Purchase
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars best value for money
Reviewed in Canada on March 2, 2021
Color Name: blackVerified Purchase
Pardon me dor not including pictures.
1.) Sound Quality: Out of the box they are so bass heavy, I mean really bass heavy. but once you fiddle around the EQ on its app; lower the bass a little bit, then it beats most of the headphones even the sony whxm4.

2.) fit and comfort: They are mediocore at best. too loose, I say my head is medium to large 5"9 and they are still pretty loose. I don't recommend bending over when headphone is on your head otherwise it'll just fall off.

Good for walking around, I usually put my hood on, it helps preventing it from sliding off. they are light. same as sony xm4

3.) Noise cancellation: You cant really find a descent noise cancellation for $100, they are ok. but when you have something playing on you dont hear any outside noise

4.) Battery life: it is very good. no charge for a week of use.

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars They were great but they really don't stand the test of time.

I have been using these headphones as my daily driver for a long while now. While o I own a variety of wired and wireless headphones... These have always been my favorite. They are the most comfortable, and the sound is solid for all types of listening.

Unfortunately the quality doesn't appear to be there. My headphones haves developed a strange clicking noise and have constant strange feedback. To the point where these headphones are no long useable.

A word of warning for those of you who might be considering these due to their strong reviews and attractive price... They probably won't last long.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great but Anker needs better quality control
Reviewed in Canada on April 4, 2021
Color Name: blackVerified Purchase
The sound is great, ANC is good but not anywhere as good as Bose or Sony. The buttons are loose and Anker needs to fix that they don't fit properly and can rattle.

My 1st set had also one earpad that was not properly glued and that somehow passed QC. Replacement set had an echo in one ear when connected with a 3.5mm wire and both sets had audible interference feedback when connected to my Denon.

These are great but Anker needs to fix these issues ASAP if they want me to buy another of their products.

Edit: 2 month in, the headband clip cracked, check picture. Now it fell out. I'm waiting for a 2nd replacement set. I asked support for q35 since these have SO MANY quality control issues but they wouldn't do it.

My last Anker product unfortunately.

Edit 2: The second replacement set appears to have improved(revised) earpads with more padding that doesn't collapse.

However the very same clip cracked and fell out AGAIN! It's a clear weak point. With hundreds of AND headphones on the market now, Anker needs to get their act together.

1.0 out of 5 stars not really that good
Reviewed in Canada on June 14, 2021

Developed for oversensitive millennials that must wear noise cancellation headset in a library at their liberal universities. In real life, on airplanes or noisy environments, the headsets are completely useless. I believe one of the problems is the headset on its own does low NRR rating. And the electronic noise cancelling can not make up for it. I can take $30 NRR 33 earmuffs and place regular earbuds in my ears and they will do more noise cancelling than these.

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.
