About this deal

Press and hold the "Power On" button for 1s-3s until you hear the boot up tone. The headphones will automatically reconnect to the last device. if the headphones do not reconnect to the last device after continuously sending a reconnection signal for 5s, it will enter pairing mode again. Which has a microphone built into the cord, so you can use the headphone/microphone through an auxiliary cable. I was trying to use them with my XBOX where I cannot use Bluetooth. I thought others might find this helpful! Hi-Res Audio Certified: Custom oversized 40 mm dynamic drivers produce Hi-Res Audio—a certification only awarded to audio devices capable of producing exceptional sound. Life Q20 active noise cancelling headphones reproduce your music with extended high frequencies that reach up to 40 kHz for extraordinary clarity and detail.

We may not have been blown away by the look of these headphones, but they boast an impressive set of features for the price. The Anker Soundcore Life Q20s contain four high-sensitivity active noise cancelling microphones that, according to Anker, reduce up to 90% of external din. We're usually suspicious when we see claims of ANC in a budget pair of headphones, but it works quite well here, with low-frequency rumbles such as the tumble dryer and housemates' farts becoming non-existent. Chatter and bursts of laughter remained audible, but that might not be such a bad thing if you need to listen out for important information (i.e. if you're at the airport).We even noticed the hiss in a quiet room; it isn't unpleasant (think faint white noise), but it’s a typical byproduct of less-effective ANC.Something strange that we noticed in this scenario, however, is that the quiet room noise seems to get louder when we turn the ANC on. Press and hold the "Power On" button for 5s to enter into pairing mode directly after the headphones are turned off. If the first device is playing music and the second device receives a call, short press the play/pause button to answer the call. Once the call has ended the headphones will resume playing the music from the first device. Anker estimates that the headphones can last between 40 and 60 hours on battery depending on your mix of ANC usage, but your results will also vary depending on your volume levels. Disappointing Noise Cancellation

These headphones are good. Not as noise canceling as I would have like on a flight, but still a great buy! They are also too big for my head, so I had to purchasing a padding to put on them. Link below. They do tend to slide around on my head quite a bit. The case does not come with the headphones. Below is a link to the one on my picture. The difference between hands-free and stereo: hands-free is used for calls, using SBC encoding, you must choose hands-free when you need to use the headphones mic; stereo uses AAC encoding, less noise and good sound quality, but you can only listen and cannot use the headphone's mic)

Can you use the Anker Soundcore Life Q20 for phone calls?

In terms of comfort, the headphone is lightweight because of its plastic build and ultra-plush leatherette ear cups and headband. We wore the Anker Soundcore Life Q20 ANC for hours on end without feeling any fatigue, even with our glasses on, which is very rare. Features Hour Long Battery Life and Fast Charging: With 40 hours of battery life with ANC on and 60 hours in normal mode, you can commute in peace without thinking about recharging. Fast charge for 5 mins to get an extra 4 hours of playtime. Dual-Connections: Connect to two devices simultaneously with Bluetooth 5.0 and instantly switch between them. Whether you're working on your laptop, or need to take a phone call, audio will automatically play from the device you need to hear from. Frequent travelers will like the fact that the headphones have rotatable ear cups and can fold up for storage and travel. However, there’s no hard case included but there’s a pouch in the box if you don’t want to scratch them up in your bag.

More Bass: Our exclusive BassUp technology analyses the sound profile in real time and automatically increases low frequencies by 43%. Hear more - feel more!If you choose hands-free for the microphone and stereo for the speaker, you cannot make a normal call (you can only hear, but the mic will not work) The mic offers average intelligibility; when we tested it using the Voice Memos app on an iPhone, we could understand every word we recorded. Unsurprisingly, we heard some Bluetooth audio artifacts, too. On a decent cell signal, callers should be able to understand you without issue. Good Noise Cancellation Is Pricey, But You Can Do Better Alongside the ANC, there are a range of other features designed to enhance your listening experience. With their custom 40mm dynamic drivers and ability to cover frequencies up to 40Hz, the Soundcore Life Q20s are built to handle hi-res audio. Anker has also included its exclusive BassUp technology, which – if you select it – analyses the profile of your music in real time and then automatically increases the low-end frequencies by up to 43%. As for their wireless capabilities, Anker's cans pair with your device via Bluetooth 5. In our test, we found that they maintained an uninterrupted signal for around 15 metres, which should cover pretty much every area of your home.

Microphone: choose the same as the system, at this time the microphone is input from the computer, not from the headphones mic. The overall experience is far from bad - in fact, it's very decent considering the price - but if your listening enjoyment relies on hearing every little nuance of the music, then you'd be better off investing in a more premium set of cans. We’d advise heading for our guides exploring the best headphones for music or best audiophile headphones for that. Anker Soundcore Life Q20 headphones review: The competition Universal Comfort: Memory foam earcups gently mold around your ears, while the headband’s rotating joints automatically adjust the angle of the earcups to fit the shape of your head. This ensures that Life Q20 active noise cancelling headphones deliver maximum comfort and a secure seal.We even noticed the hiss in a quiet room; it isn't unpleasant (think faint white noise), but it’s a typical byproduct of less-effective ANC. Something strange that we noticed in this scenario, however, is that the quiet room noise seems to get louder when we turn the ANC on. Hear Your Surroundings: Switch to Transparency mode on your noise cancelling headphones when you need to be aware of your surroundings, such as transportation announcements, crossing the road, or just staying connected to the world around you. Placing them on our ears, though, we were pleasantly surprised by how comfortable they were. The Soundcore Life Q20s feature swivel joints that enable the headphones to adjust to the shape of your head, while the memory foam ear pads are sympathetic to your lugholes. Often when we wear headphones, we start to suffer from fatigue after about half an hour, but these didn't give us any grief in the initial 90 minutes we were wearing them. It helped that the inside of each ear pad is fitted with a breathable mesh that stops your ears from sweating during longer listening sessions.

The battery could last for days but I just charge it every evening.
