There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
-Sound / App: It is amazing. One of the reviews complained about sounding muddy. I am no audiophile but I just don't hear that here. These are crisp and vibrant sounding. Yes, Soundcore does tune these to emphasize the low end a bit. They come preset to the "Soundcore Signature" profile. However, Souncore gives you a very robust app to work with. Just get in there and tune these to your liking. You can use one of their many presets or make your own custom sound. When you get these going with a high quality stream, at the risk of sounding overly dramatic, it is breathtaking. Listening to The National, The Eagles, and Metallica on Tidal all just sound incredible. Great lows, full mids, crisp highs, all of which are nicely separated and balanced. Beautiful to listen to. Also, when watching video there is zero discernible latency. Voices match what you are watching. Well done.
-Battery life / Connectivity: Really as good as it gets. 40 hours or so with ANC on and 60 hours without. Just about best in class. Bluetooth 5.0 is here so easy pairing and rock solid range and stable connection.
-Active Noise Cancellation: If there is an area to ding these, it is here. The ANC is good. Soundcore has been steadily improving in this arena for some time. It is not Sony / Bose good. However, for most, I believe this ANC will be more than fine. It should handle planes and traveling. The only things that really get through are sudden high frequency sounds. Again, overall good, but just not as spectacular as everything else Soundcore offers here.
-Form Factor / Controls: The Q35's build is outstanding. They feel great in your hands. Not like $129 headphones should feel. I feel no discernible difference in quality from the Sony headphones. The controls are handled via physical buttons on the right can. The left can has power and the ANC toggle. One nice feature that Soundcore borrowed from Sony is that you can enter transparency by simply resting your hand over the right can. It's great! Something new I love is autopause. All my buds have this but I have never seen over ears use this. Simply slide a cup off of either ear and whatever you are listening to pauses. It is really helpful. My son walked up to me and began speaking. I didnt miss anything he said and didn't need to worry about pausing my content. Great addition! Soundcore also gives your a 3.5mm audio cable if you want to go wired. I haven't tried it here yet but it worked great on the Q30's.
-Call Quality: The Q30's were nothing special with how they handled calls. The Q35's still aren't special but seem to be vastly improved. They have added an AI algorithm to the beam forming mics that seems to be more effective at isolating your voice especially in loud environments. I still get too much wind noise when outside but calls are solid and very capable here overall.
I will update as I go here. For $129, Soundcore is offering you a tremendous value proposition. HiFi sound, good ANC, great battery, and tremendous build quality. If High Fidelity sound isn't your bag, get the Q30's. Same build, same ANC, and same great app, for about half the price. However, if you want to really hear music buy these, find some uncompressed (or less compressed) music, and enjoy. It really is something you need to hear.
*Update* I have really been pounding these and didn't really say anything about comfort. They are lightweight and very comfortable for long term wear. I am a hot guy (sweaty not physically) by nature and these are warm but overly hot like so many over ears I have worn. I have had them on now for about two hours tonight. All good. I am warm in there but not too much so. Solid.
***Update for later model Samsung users***So one really important note I just figured out thanks to testing the new B&W PI7's is that you really want to make sure you have HD Audio (in this case, LDAC) enabled on your device. Samsung actually deactivates it by default. If you go in to developer options, you can turn it on. Go to "about phone", go to "software options", and find your Android build number. Tap on that 7 times. Back out and go to "developer options." Connect your Q35's to your phone (or any LDAC capable headset) and then scroll down in developer options and you should see an HD Audio button. Slide that over to activate it and it should automatically connect to your highest possible streaming option that headphone offers. Don't worry, you will not hurt anything here. Get your Tidal account going or move your Spotify quality to "very high" and you will be off to the races. Game changer for me and my S21 Ultra!

Equalizer: Chose these because of great reviews and the Soundcore app with equalizer. I use the equalizer on my phone and thought it might enhance that. (Listen to a fair variety of types of music. ) The Soundcore equalizer is on par with Apple’s. I can’t tell a huge difference but the app is free so no issue there and it may give some different options. There’s a custom option too that I haven’t tried yet.
Noise cancellation: You can definitely tell a difference between the noise cancellation options. I find it handy for various situations in my home where I need to hear what’s going on around me or when I definitely don’t want to. It does a good job in each mode.
Sound quality, bass: These definitely have a bigger bass than the AirPods and great sound quality overall. I think they sound better than my AirPods because even when not in the noise cancellation mode, they filter out the outside/background noise that I can normally hear with my AirPods.
Fit/comfort: These do fit pretty snugly on my not so large head but after just a few minutes, I stop noticing that and can wear them comfortably for several hours. So much so that I’ve fallen asleep with them on. They adjust too so should accommodate most people. I can wear them with glasses but not with post style earrings.
Battery life: The battery life is SO good, I wish all my electronics could compare.
Value: I got these with a $20 discount on Amazon and a Xmas gift card so came in a lot less than new AirPods, Bose etc.
For reference: I don’t know the technical part of why these are good but to my ears, they’re great. I’m retired and spend many hours a week listening to music and/or podcasts and couldn’t be happier with this affordable and quality purchase. The case and accessories are perfect. I didn’t need to purchase anything else, which is always a plus to me. Got the blue, which is very nice and a little different.

But then suddenly last week the headband broke. What happened next really surprised me. I reached out to Anker, concerned that this foreign company would not care about a 1,5 year old product breaking.
But to my surprise, Ankers customer support proved to be the best in the business, helpful and serviceminded. I will be recieving a new pair of headphones under warranty, but I've also gained a new trust in the Anker brand. I will gladly recommend their products as long as their customer support is this good.
En fait le Soundcore est meilleur. En terme de restitution sonore il dépasse mon Sony. Il le dépasse de peu mais il est meilleur ça c’est certain. Ne faites pas attention aux commentaires négatifs qui diront que ce casque est nul, alors qu’il est excellent ça c’est clair. Vous pouvez télécharger l’application Soundcore qui est génial car vous avez pas mal de possibilités au niveau des choix musicaux et de la préférence des écoutes et c’est pas mal, l’application est épurée et bien fichue.
Cette application est pour moi indispensable si vous voulez trouvez votre bonheur en terme d’écoute, mais je dois dire que le casque marche déjà super bien sans l’application quand on est en mode ANC ou en mode normal. La réduction de bruit est géniale. Ce casque est magnifique et réponds parfaitement à mes exigences. Par rapport au Sony, il est meilleur si on parle d’un point qui est important en 2023, c’est bien sur le Bluetooth multi-point, ce que le Sony est incapable de faire et c’est vraiment un bonheur de passer de son téléphone à son ordinateur en un claquement de doigts et je dois dire que c’est vraiment appréciable.
Il dépasse le Sony en terme de restitution sonore, eh oui il est meilleur en terme de basse et sur la clarté des voix même si la différence n’est pas frappante et vraiment cela ne se joue à pas grand-chose, et si je devais faire un choix, alors je choisis sans hésiter ce casque Soundcore. Et enfin parlons du prix qui n’est seulement qu’à 100$ et il rivalise mais de loin avec les casques haut de gamme. Bref, un très bon investissement sur du long terme et j’espère pouvoir m’en servir pendant longtemps, mais malheureusement je ne peux pas me projeter vu qu’il est tout neuf donc il faudra voir ça dans plusieurs mois ou l’année prochaine, mais en tous cas c’est un super casque et je suis très content de cet achat. Autonomie annoncée de 40 heures, c’est parfait.
