Soundcore Life Q20 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Wireless Bluetooth Headphones Over Ear with 40H Playtime, Hi-Res Audio, Deep Bass, Memory Foam Ear Cups and Headband (Renewed)

I’m very impressed with these headphones! At the price point I wasn’t expecting the quality to be high end, but after reading some reviews I hoped they would be an upgrade to my current Skullcandy Indy Evo earbuds that I’ve had for several years (which get pretty uncomfortable after a while, do not have noise cancelling, have had some issues with Bluetooth connection, and don’t carry a charge for very long before needing to be put back in their case).I’m going to break down the key features in my review in order of what I find to be most important for casual, daily use: comfort, noise cancelling, battery life, and sound quality.COMFORT:WOW!!!! These headphones are the most comfortable headphones I think I’ve ever worn! It feels like I’m wearing pillows on my ears, and my ears/head do not get soar after extended use. I recently flew from Massachusetts to Washington state for vacation and wore these headphones for 6-8 hours on the way there and back. I never felt any discomfort! This was very important to me when selecting a pair of headphones because I’m really sensitive to sensory input, especially touch and sound. Basically, if I can feel the headphones too much, it can become unpleasant which starts to distract me from what I’m listening to and makes it difficult to relax. These babies sell on comfort alone in my opinion! A+NOISE CANCELLING:Remember how I said I’m sensitive to sensory input like sound? The noise cancelling on these bad boys really does help to dull loud, sharp sounds that can be startling. It doesn’t block out noise completely, and that’s not what noise cancelling is supposed to do. I like how if my music is low enough or not playing I can still hear people talking to me, and if I turn my music up to 60% or more it does block out most low frequency sounds. I also found that on the airplane it helped a lot with the aerodynamic noises and even seemed to help reduce some of the pressure from building in my ears (which didn’t pop once!) A+BATTERY LIFE:This was the feature I was most skeptical about, and they didn’t disappoint! They weren’t kidding or exaggerating about the 40+ hour battery life, and I’m always pleased when products are true to their advertisements. I was mostly using the headphones for 15-20 minutes at a time during work breaks before going on vacation, and after several weeks of use they still had 50% battery life. Before going on my trip, I fully charged them. The charger automatically turns off after they are 100% charged which is a very impressive feature! After both flights (again—6-8 hours of use each flight), and no use during my vacation, the battery was at 60% when I got home. A+SOUND QUALITY:I wasn’t expecting a whole lot in terms of sound quality at this price point, so I wasn’t disappointed. The sound quality is not top tier, but it is quite good for daily, casual use. I like watching ASMR videos and listening to all kinds of music, and I feel that these headphones deliver satisfying sound quality for my needs. I’m not someone who is big on the highest sound quality when it comes to listening to music, although I do appreciate high quality sound. If you are someone who is looking for top tier specs in sound quality, these may not be for you. The most important thing for me with this feature is that the sound quality isn’t poor, especially at higher volumes. These puppies pack enough quality for me! AOverall, I am extremely pleased with my purchase! These headphones are true to the advertisements and meet my personal needs. 10/10 would recommend!

At the time I purchased these, these refurbished ones we're about $12 less than brand new. If I would have known that I probably would have just bought the brand new ones, but it all worked out because these refurbished ones are indistinguishable from brand new.We ordered these for my daughter for her bus ride to and from school. She has autism and is very much bothered by noises. She been using a pair of Beats but they were not noise canceling and they were on ear instead of over ear... So while looking to buy a pair of over ear and noise canceling headphones we came across these at a super cheap price and figured we would give them a try since we really can't afford to shell out the $200 on a pair of Beats right now.PROS-Sound quality is excellent.Noise canceling is excellent.Very comfortableCONS-Build qualityLed indicatorsNo good caseSUMMARY -Sound quality is excellent, I don't notice any difference between these and the sound quality on the Beats that she previously used.Noise canceling work extremely well. There is a very noticeable difference when you turn it on. You will not hear anything in the background except for maybe an air horn blaring right behind your head if you're listening to music. Without music on everything is very very low volume.The ear pads on these and the tension it puts on your head is all perfect. Extremely comfortable.The build quality feels flimsy compared to the Beats. Just feels like cheaper plastic and could possibly break easier. Simply by just not being too rougg with them it shouldn't be an issue but just something to note.My biggest negative on these is the LED lights, when you turn them on it flashes to let you know it's connecting but then the lights go out, same with the noise canceling light. It comes on for a short time then goes out. I would prefer these lights would be on all the time when the unit is on that way you know if it's on or not. You actually have to put the headphones on and push the power button to turn them off or on to see whether they are off or on. But I figured out is I could swipe down to the settings on my phone and look at the Bluetooth connection and see if the sound core is listed on there then I know they're on but it would be so much easier just to have a tiny little LED light on the whole time so you know it's on. A tiny LED light is not going to use enough battery to make any difference really.The lack of a hard case is not really a big deal but would be nice considering that as I mentioned build quality is not as sturdy as higher priced models. They do give you a little dust bag but that's about worthless. I don't believe the more expensive Beats that my daughter has came with a hard case either though. And for the price I guess you really can't complain. I'm sure you could buy a hard case pretty inexpensively on Amazon if you really want one and still be much cheaper than the expensive brands.As far as battery life, they seems fine. My daughter uses them on the bus to school and the bus home and that's pretty much it so battery life is not a huge deal with us. Maybe another review could get a better idea of total battery life.All in all it's a good deal on these headphones. For this low price you're not going to find anything anywhere near as good as these I wouldn't expect. Most stuff in this price range is total junk. These are definitely mid to upper grade quality for a low quality price.For what it's worth, my 10-year-old daughter prefers these over the Beats.
