These are my first Wi-Fi headphones and, as a senior citizen, I am not tech savvy. However, these headphones connected easily to my iPod and CD portable player. As previous reviewers said they fit a small head perfectly and the ear pieces are soft and comfortable. The sound quality is excellent once I turned the volume down! As to noise reduction it works like a charm. The build seems good to me so far and I believe the battery life will be good enough for me. My only minor problem are the control buttons, being on the earpiece I have to take them off to alter volume and ANC which is fiddly. Perhaps a small hand held control would be better. They come with a connector so I can listen without Bluetooth but as I bought them to use that facility it's an added benefit. It's lovely to walk about without carrying my iPod or getting the lead caught up!

Excellent for the price, good sound straight out of the box, nice and comfortable and they last many hours before they need charged. Can't complain about these headphones very good

These headphones are really impressive.Nicely designed. Fit very well, even for those with a small head shape like mine!.Comfy on th ears, even with my sensitive left ear.A bit warm on the ears, but bearable.The voice cancelling is good. I like that you can turn it to 3 modes of clear, normal or noise cancelling.Connects easily to my phone. Can be loud, if that's what you like. And they look really nice.Most importantly, full charge lasts a long time too.

Comfy, good battery life and reliable Bluetooth connection. The noise cancelling works well, and the audio quality is serviceable. Except for video games, where I found the audio quality was quite poor. Overall, pretty good headphones for the price.

Amazing value for money!Was looking for headphones, and after watching many YouTube videos and reading reviews, I went for these ones as the price was very good, but wow, I'm amazing by the quality, fitment and sound, along with the very helpful and easy app! Love the Transparency mode too. Soundcore is a great competitor to Sony or JBL!

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 headphonesThe 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.

These are good quality headphones, they look premium and the build quality is definitely solid, i would prefer the ear cups to be a little bigger but i can understand that would impact on it's size etc. Pairing mode is easy to do by pressing and holding for a few seconds on the play button, flashes blue and goes solid blue when paired. To enhance the variety of sound you can download the soundcore app and this gives options for more audio presets for playing different music genres. I haven't tested them for long enough to give a precise battery life but most of the soundcore ear buds i have last ages on a charge. The sound quality is very good but that's no surprise, have no complaints from my ear buds they made, its crisp and clear with the bass and treble quality. Overall a solid performance and worth the price.

These might honestly be some of the best headphones I’ve ever used at this price point. The Soundcore Q20i deliver surprisingly rich sound with solid bass, crisp mids, and balanced highs. The ANC (active noise cancelling) is impressive — it doesn’t match high-end models, but for this price? It’s seriously good, and especially whilst travelling on both trains and planes for the last year they've been more than brilliant.Comfort-wise, they’re light, well-padded, and easy to wear for hours without fatigue. Battery life is excellent — I’ve gone days without needing a charge, and the Bluetooth connection is rock solid.If you're looking for budget-friendly wireless headphones that punch way above their weight, this is it. Perfect for commuting, studying, or just zoning out with music.
