In this article, we will introduce you to an effective and affordable noise-cancelling headphone solution. That is the Anker Soundcore Life Q20 headphones. Below are detailed reviews of this product.

Anker SoundCore Life Q20

About the product

Anker Soundcore Life Q20 is one of the best-selling products on the shelves of the Anker brand - a brand founded by former Google employees specializing in providing simple and authentic sound solutions.

For only about 60 USD, you can own this headset. This is an extremely cheap price compared to similar quality headphones. The output sound of Anker Soundcore Life Q20, especially the bass, is neutral and uniform. The noise resistance is also nothing to criticize. You might think you shouldn't expect much from a $60 pair of Bluetooth headphones, especially given the claim to have active noise cancellation. But the Anker SoundCore Life Q20 will surprise you as it delivers rich, authentic and truly noise-canceling sound to you.

Meanwhile, the product's active noise cancellation feature is well done. It cancels out engine noise and reduces background noise, and we were also impressed with the headphones' battery life. This means, you can enjoy true-to-life sound, without distractions, without exaggerating the Bass Up feature.

The product's power button is located on the left earlobe and acts as a Bluetooth pairing button when you press and hold the button. Pressing a second button on the ear cups activates the headphones' noise-cancelling mode, which (according to Anker) is designed to block 90 percent of mid- and low-end noise with the help of a quartet of internal microphones.

The volume control on the right earbud has a built-in play button that lets you play and pause music and answer calls. You can also use the Headphone Bass Boost function by pressing the play button twice, or you can press to call up Siri or Google Assistant. Besides the volume rocker there is also a micro USB charging port and a 3.5mm audio jack for cable listening using the included 3.5-th3.5mm cable.

Evaluation of sound quality

For a headset, sound quality is the most important thing, the Anker SoundCore Life Q20 delivers stronger bass thanks to BassUp technology, which is a plus for modern users because modern music uses a lot of Bass in the mix. In addition, thanks to Hi Res technology, new sounds will also be clearly reproduced through this headset. The only minus point of the audio part probably comes from the inability to customize the EQ to make the headset more suitable for special user control.

Product benefits

Anker SoundCore Life Q20 is the most economical private audio experience solution for you. It has excellent noise cancellation so you can focus on the emotions of your experience. When using this headset, you will not hear the sound of aircraft engines, large trucks even if you are very close. You can also easily listen to calls with SoundCore Life Q20 because the Life Q20's microphone enhances the ability to pick up voice speaking to make sure your sound is clear to the recipient. This is not only a headphone, but also a technology accessory to help you elevate your life.
