AMAZING HEADPHONES
recently picked up these Bluetooth headphones, and I have to say, they exceeded my expectations for the price. If you’re looking for an affordable pair that delivers solid performance, these are a great choice.
The Bluetooth connectivity works seamlesslyâpairing is quick and reliable, and I havenât experienced any annoying dropouts. Whether Iâm using them with my phone, laptop, or tablet, the connection stays strong.
Battery life is another highlight. A single charge lasts for hours, making them perfect for long listening sessions, workouts, or even travel. I can go days without needing to recharge, which is super convenient.
Sound quality is decent for the priceânot super premium, but definitely good enough for casual listening. The comfort level is also nice, so wearing them for extended periods isnât an issue.
Overall, if youâre looking for budget-friendly Bluetooth headphones that work well, last long, and donât break the bank, these are a solid pick!

Great for the price!
I had the beats solo for years, but they finally started to deteriorate and I was looking for a reasonably priced replacement. I did a ton of research & finally settled on these due to the fact I prefer an overear option for headphones.
Pros: SO COMFORTABLE. this was my main issue with my beats, but these cover my ears fully and don’t hurt at all! The noise cancelling works quite well & the sound doesn’t drain as easy as the beats when I’m wearing them to the outside world. Long battery life. I use mine for travel & workouts mostly & haven’t had issues in about a month, with only charging once! I also like that they’re flexible and travel easily.
Cons: they’re a little heavy, although it hasn’t bothered me much yet & I do feel like the music quality is a 4/5 and the beats did a better job in this category. There’s only a few colors and I am extra and prefer standout colors.
Overall: 4.5! I wish there were better color options, a bit lighter, and better music quality. With this being said, I LOVE these. Well worth the money! They don’t feel cheap, the durability and functionality are great for me. I would recommend these if you’re looking for a good, affordable option. These are definitely better than the much more expensive beats solos.

So great I bought a second pair for my fiancé. Way better than Bose
I normally donât write reviews, but these headphones are insane. And the price makes it all better. I recently purchased Bose quiet comfort headphones and immediately was disappointed at the quality for the insane price. On top of that, the Bose headphones would not connect well to my work computer for Microsoft Teams calls. The microphone quality was terrible. I returned the Bose the same day and found these Soundcore headphones – AMAZING!!!! Within an hour of getting these headphones I actually bought a second pair for my fiancé. These are amazingly comfortable, battery life is great, and they connect seamlessly to my work computer for work calls. Super clear audio and microphone quality. I can not explain how happy I am about these headphones.

Good sounding, comfortable headphones at a budget price
Just received the Q20i’s and gave them their first test. I’m not a full-on audiophile, just a guy with a fairly good ear. They arrived 70% charged. Paired easily to phone, fit comfortably. I hope that the head cushion holds up, because there is a thin ridge inside that could become an issue later, if the padding gives out. The ear cushions are soft, but they don’t quite clear my big ears, so they aren’t quite as comfy as they could be, and it causes a bit of ear sweat after a while. If your ears are small, you’ll be fine. Haven’t installed the app, and – based on the crazy privacy/data sharing specs, I don’t think I will. I tested them bare, on some rock, fusion, and jazz – no EQ adjustments, and found nice bass response, reasonably good for the price. It will likely sound better turned down a notch in EQ. The midrange was a bit on the muddy side, but not bad – again, needs EQ adjustment. Highs were clear, but could have been a bit sharper. I’m guessing EQ settings will make a big difference there, too.
ANC: Full noise cancelling seems to work pretty well. I haven’t experimented with Transparency mode yet. Build quality seems decent, but they’ll need to be treated kindly for them to last – probably true of most headphones today. Some caveats: If you plan to use the buttons on the headphones, rather than the app, those buttons don’t feel like they’ll hold up very long. The included charging cable is ridiculously short! You’ll likely be replacing that right away. Finally, the instruction booklet was written for someone with a microscope handy. Who can read that stuff? Overall, after the brief first test, they seem worth the price for a budget headphone, on sale. I’ll add more findings after further testing.

Pretty good price. I was worried buying headphones at this price after years of using sony wh-mx headphones would result in a significant drop in quality, but it has been alright.
These headphones aren’t very comfortable for my head, but after using them for a few days, I got used to them and they are now bearable.
The battery life being as long as it is is very convenient, it doesn’t have a chance to run out as long as I plug the headphones in to charge before bedtime.
The transparent listening feature is a bit weird and kinda hurts my ears when I use it, but it’s an optional feature and I can just normal listening mode for the lifetime of the headphones.

Son unos audÃfonos increÃbles, no estaba seguro de esta compra por algunos de los comentarios negativos que và es las opiniones, pero nada que ver…
Estos audÃfonos tienen calidad por todas partes, incluso en el material de construcción, que en su mayorÃa es plástico, pero se siente de muy buena calidad, además de tener algunas partes reforzadas con metal.
El sonido es maravilloso, de escandalo, y el ecualizador de la app es muy útil, brindan una experiencia sin igual, tiene bajos muy buenos, medios y agudos balanceados, no pierdes nada de calidad al escuchar la música, los detalles de los instrumentos y demás son increÃbles para el precio, además, la cancelación de ruido me ha parecido espectacular, aisla muy pero que muy bien el ruido externo, incluso sin tener esta opción activa, ya aisla muy bien el ruido exterior, y el modo claridad se agradece mucho.
Además son cómodos, como dos bombones en las orejas, no lastiman, no hacen presión de más, y se adaptan a la forma de tus orejas y cabeza sin problema, puedes llevarlo por horas y no te incomodan. Y la baterÃa es otro gran acierto, dura bastante, apenas y recordarás que deben cargarse.
Y por último, la conectividad, en mi caso, en los pocos dÃas de uso que llevo, la conexión ha Sido espectacular, puedo andar libremente por mi hogar sin preocuparme por la distancia o los cortes de la conexión Bluetooth, y no solo eso, estos audÃfonos incluyen un cable Jack 3.5mm que te permiten conectarlos a cualquier dispositivo con esta entrada, ya sea un celular, una PC, una consola de juegos, etc.
Definitivamente es un producto que vale muchÃsimo la pena por el bajo precio que tiene, yo lo he podido conseguir con una oferta y se agradece la gran calidad del producto por el bajo precio.

I have been searching for wireless (over the ear) headphones for some time and up to this point had decided on the pricey Sony WH1000, but given that these Soundcore ones were a lot cheaper AND on offer, I figured they would “make do” whilst I saved some cash.
They arrived sporting 60% battery strength (perfect for putting them through their paces). I started with regular streaming radio services notably radio.net, Stingray, and Pandora. First impressions were that the bass and mid-range frequencies were embellished.
Obviously different platforms and even stations have different levels of output, bit-rates and EQ adjustments so probably a mixed bag all in all but a positive improvement over buds.
Spotify and Amazon music on the whole were providing a consistently fuller soundstage given the streaming and Bluetooth caveats. These use the widely preferred AAC codec, and since Apple was the first to adopt and promote the codec it is no surprise that these headphones work flawlessly with iPhones, pads etc.
True non-compressed Hi-res audio however is only available by using a direct cable connection. Using the direct cable solution turns these into passive headphones still maintaining the frequency range in the specifications but the ANC,Bluetooth, and app features are dormant.
Design wise they follow an established path where injection moulded plastic pieces form the backbone of these headphones. What is surprising though is the reassuring weight whilst remaining completely portable. The large 40mm dynamic drivers encased in a generous enclosure and furnished with comfortable sponge buffers plus a cushioned headband creates an audiophile style feel of headphones
The noise cancelling feature is probably the stand-out feature. At this price point, it really puts them up there with flagship devices. The sound without ANC is plenty good enough but when enabled it makes you feel like you are in a soundproofed room. The settings are:-
Transparency = External sounds are analysed and gently amplified into the driver space.
Normal= No ANC filters are applied. A regular over-the-ear experience is achieved.
Noise Cancelling = The internal and external microphones coupled with the NC algorithm creates an unusual but tranquil quiet environment. Do you really need it though? There are certain scenarios where these type of headsets excel.
1. Commuting via public transport.
2. Cutting out natural ambient noise i.e on a beach.
3. Minimising loud noises like aboard an aeroplane or in an area with heavy machinery.
Settings. Paired with the Soundcore app you can enable/switch the ANC features from your device. You can also use the Soundcore app to access their graphics equaliser in favour of the stock android EQ or iOS spatial audio. My sweet spot was obtained by using the Dolby Atmos settings in Android coupled with a slight 1-2 dB increase in the low and high EQ sliders in the Soundcore app.
In summary, are there better headphones out there? Probably. The critics, authors and ‘tech-experts’ would say definitely. But a 55 year old man with mild tinnitus who still loves his music may never buy another pair again.
