Hi-Res Audio: Custom oversized 40 mm dynamic drivers produce Hi-Res sound. Life Q20 active noise canceling headphones reproduce music with extended high frequencies that reach up to 40 kHz for extraordinary clarity and detail.
Reduce Ambient Noises By Up to 90%: Our team of engineers conducted more than 100,000 tests in real-life scenarios to fine-tune Life Q20’s 4 built-in ANC microphones and digital active noise cancellation algorithm. As a result, the hybrid active noise cancellation can detect and cancel out a wider range of low and mid-frequency noises such as cars and airplane engines.
100% Stronger Bass: Our exclusive BassUp technology conducts real-time analysis of the low frequencies to instantly strengthen the bass output. Double press the play button when listening to bass-heavy genres like EDM and hip-hop for an amplified listening experience.
60-Hour Playtime*: Up to 40 hours of non-stop playtime in wireless active noise cancellation mode (at 60% volume) is extended to an enormous 60 hours in standard music mode. A single charge gives you enough juice to listen to over 600 songs or soundtrack multiple long haul flights.

Want ANC Headphones with $$$ sound but under $60? These deliver that & more IMHO UPDATE Dec 2023
Update Dec 2023- These headphones are still as awesome as the day I received them in 2019! Ankar is truly hard to beat. Just in case youâre looking for a pair I can vouch for the quality of these.
Iâve had these headphones since end of December 2019, gotten for flight over the holidays. Tried out both Bose noice Cancelling headphones at local brick & mortar store, but the price caused me to pause. On to Amazon where I found these, better price, would arrive before my flight, sounded like a deal worth a shot after reading everything about them what did I have to lose with Amazonâs return policy & Ankerâs reputation for quality.
Iâve had great chargers, other electronic items by Anker with great results. They arrived on time well packaged, impressive from the start, but sound quality sealed the deal.
Back to Anker headphones, I love them! The sound quality is amazing, when I have ANC on I canât hear anything but music, the outside noise is indeed cancelled. Even on my really bad flight (another story) a guy wanted to test them against his B newest headphones, so we switched for a test. He said he wish he had known about Ankers quality & price, they were impressive not that he would give up the B set, but would definitely buy them as a spare or an extra pair to use for other activities, he couldnât believe the price. He went straight to Amazon asked me if the pair he chose were the same as mine, they were & he ordered them. That kind of confirmed I have a great pair of anc headphones & didnât pay $$$ for them,
They pair easily and are comfortable – until Iâve worn for hours then my shades/glasses are indented in my skull, time for a break, but thatâs after hours of wearing-enjoying great sounding music 4-6 hrs & battery is still strong, time fly by.
There are only 2 minor suggestions for Anker regarding these headphones 1) add to Soundcore app please (after thought I donât know if itâs needed unless to customize equalizer) the volume can be controlled on the headphones. 2) the headband could use a slight redesign. Wearing them while working out, doing lawn work or inside cleaning, cooking, always moving about (excellent BT range btw), the top of headband pulls my hair as the headband is adjustable it tends to slide a wee bit & my hair gets pulled so I have to adjust them & keep going, Iâve no idea how they could do this itâs something I noticed when trying out my son’s. He bought a cheap pair of JBL headphones for lawn mowing, they do fit a little better but donât compare to Ankers sound quality, imho Would love JBL type fit on Anker Life Q20 hybrid ANC headphones!
Taking phone calls while wearing headphones works great, I asked how did I sound, fine he said, then we laughed when I told him I was listening to music on my Ankers when he called & I took the call while wearing my headphones. Neither of us had any problems with quality of call. Volume is easy to find & adjust the multifunction button is easy to use for music or calls.
They come with the charging cable, though I wish more companies included the wall plug in,I donât always have a spare just ling around, ok so I never have a spare just laying about. Also the aux cable is included though I havenât used that feature yet. A drawstring pouch to put them in, which was good as I didnât have a case to put them in for my flight & no time to get one. Instructions are well written Anker products are always first class
Love these headphones, the ANC & overall sound quality at this price point is a gift that keeps on giving. The quality of this model looks & sounds like the much higher price headphones, maybe better than some. I wouldnât hesitate to buy for a gift as they come gift wrap ready or a gift of music for me.
Overall Ankers entry into the headphone, earbud market is welcomed. I wouldnât hesitate to try them out if youâre looking for headphones with ANC Fantastic sound, that doesnât break the budget to tears, give them a listen I think youâre going to love them.
Simply put my Anker Life Q20 ANC headphones are fantastic in quality and sound. Iâm not an audiophile but I canât find a thing disappointing in these, not quality or sound. I like a variety of music & I hear good bass, mid tones & treble, vocal itâs all there. As said for everything including quality these headphones deliver at a price that doesnât break the bank & with Ankers outstanding customer service is amazing. I can honestly say Anker SoundCore is definitely impressive, just as their charging cables, & other electronic devices that was my first introduction to Anker products. Iâm sure Iâll look at their Bluetooth speakers soon.
Sorry for overly long review, thereâs so many outstanding elements that I feel are important for customers to know when spending your money,I try to offer as much info Iâve experienced as possible, Iâve relied on Amazon customer reviews when making a purchase, theyâre brutally honest good or bad & I appreciate that.
Iâve had & used these headphones since late 22nd December, tonight is 25 July enough time to really evaluate them, theyâve exceeded my expectations, I would definitely recommend, most of all I would buy them again.
Thanks if you did read this long review, good intentions to help others as they shop.
UPDATE 12 August a friend of mine used my Ankers while visiting. He called back he had received his very own Anker Life Q 20 headphones. That says a lot about the sound & quality whilst respecting the customers wallet, he was so happy with his new headphones & that I recommended Ankers.
Thanks again to Amazon shoppers, Amazon & Anker
UPDATE: if youâve read my review you know Iâve had this set of headphones since Dec 2019 itâs Nov 29 2023. I thought I would need to replace them this week but not so fast! Removed them from the pouch they came with, paired with new iPhone and wore them while preparing dinner continuing until bedtime always after midnight. The quality of sound, the hours of comfort while carrying on with everything needed to be done, the joy of listening to many genres of music was fantastic even taking a call.
In 2019 I think there was 1 color choice, sure Iâd loved to have had the choices Anker has today but I didnât buy them as a fashion statement but for the Anker quality, outstanding customer service in every product they put the Anker name on. These headphones have not diminished in sound quality whether Iâm jamming as I go through daily chores, or taking or making phone calls while wearing this same pair of headphones.
In this current economic environment Iâm thrilled for Ankerâs dedication to quality while delivering headphones that are affordable. And providing a fantastic choice
I wanted Amazon shoppers to know they have a choice if shopping for headphones that doesnât sacrifice sound or quality or lasting performance. When Iâm looking for another set of headphones or the Anker Liberty Air EarPods or the many chargers Iâve bought, I always look for Anker/Soundcore first I know the quality and their outstanding customer support
Thanks everyone Happy Shopping

Unbeatable Price:Performance!
I’ve had the Soundcore Q20 headphones for almost a month now, and I thought I’d start off my review with one simple statement: I’ve only charged these things ONCE since I’ve taken them out of the box. These headphones have absolutely phenomenal battery life. The only reason I charged them was because I wanted to test how long they would last on a full charge (within my day to day use). I received these headphones on the 1st of April. It is currently the 27th of April and the battery is still at “Medium” (there is no visual indicator, however there is a voice that tells you whether your battery is “High”, “Medium”, or “Low”).
That being said, I’ll go ahead and list some Pros:
– Battery Life (Seriously, I can’t stress enough how good it is)
– Sound Quality
– Comfort
– Looks
– Sturdiness/Build Quality
– Noise Cancellation (there’s a caveat here, continue reading to see what I mean)
BATTERY LIFE:
As if I haven’t already said enough, these headphones refuse to die. I’ve used them from anywhere between an hour to 3-4 hours at a time (long gaming sessions or binging a show on my laptop or phone), and they just don’t let up. Like I mentioned in the intro, it’s been almost an entire month with these headphones and I’ve only had to charge them once. It is worth mentioning that the battery will drain much faster with noise-cancelling turned on, as it is indeed ACTIVE noise-cancelling and uses more power. I’ve got to give props to Anker for marketing these as lasting 40 hours, as this runtime is more accurate when noise-cancelling is ON. With ANC off, these can easily last 60+ hours. It’s always refreshing to see a company slightly under-sell and over-deliver.
SOUND QUALITY:
These things sound way better than they should at this price-point. I wouldn’t call myself an audiophile, but I do have experience with over-ear, closed-back studio headphones (I own a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50x’s), and dabble in amateur sound mixing/mastering as a guitarist. Apart from being just a bit heavier on the bass than I would like, these headphones do an excellent job at bringing out lows, mids, and highs in pretty much anything you’ll find yourself listening to. Nothing sounds drowned out or overexposed (with the exception of the bass, but there’s a valid reason for it in this case). I bought these headphones primarily for multimedia consumption (movies, video games, music, etc.). They have just the right amount of punch in the low-end to make things such as explosions or bass-heavy sound effects really shine. In this instance, the heavier low-end makes sense. Voices sound crystal clear, as the mids don’t get drowned out by the lows or highs like on some other higher-priced headphones (looking at you, Beats..). The highs are where these things truly shine, in my opinion. Lots of budget headphones tend to sound very “tinny” with harsh, sharp highs to over-compensate for the overly-saturated bass, but these do a great job at keeping both the mids and highs prominent enough (despite the thicker bass).
COMFORT:
I’ve owned and used plenty of both over-ear and on-ear headphones over the years, and I can’t beat around the bush here: these are the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever used. I was expecting to have to “break them in”, given what some of the other reviews were saying, but the minute I put these on I was pleasantly surprised at just how soft and light these felt (without feeling cheap or flimsy). And I wear glasses!
LOOKS:
Not a whole lot to say about how these look. I wouldn’t say you’ll be turning heads while wearing these out and about, but for the amount of money that they cost.. I’m just saying they could’ve looked a lot worse. I’ve seen headphones three times the price that are a complete eye-sore. The Q20s are clean and minimalistic, without giving away its low price.
STURDINESS/BUILD QUALITY:
Although I’m not one to man-handle my devices (no matter how little they may cost), I have to say that these don’t feel the least bit flimsy. I did a mild stress-test by stretching both ear cups apart as far as I was comfortable with and was able to get about 10 inches wide. I don’t think anyone has a head that wide, but if you do, these are definitely going to fit. The build quality feels great, and I feel like these will definitely last a while (and I will be updating this review if that changes lol).
NOISE CANCELLATION:
These headphones do indeed have active noise cancelling, BUT.. I literally almost NEVER use it. Here’s why: they don’t need it. The headphones are built in such a way that even with the ANC off, they drown out a ton of outside noise. Unfortunately, there is a significant drop in volume when noise-cancelling is activated. The bass takes a hit as well, making it more evened out with the mids and highs (which might be a plus for some).
FINAL THOUGHTS:
There’s only really one “Con” that I wasn’t going to mention, and that’s the carrying bag that comes with the Q20s. There’s nothing really wrong with it, but I did just want to note that they used to come with a hard carrying case (according to some older YouTube reviews), and I’m a little salty that us newer buyers don’t get that lol. All in all, for the $60 that I paid for these headphones, I can’t think of any reason not to fully recommend them. They sound great, the battery life lasts incredibly long (almost to a suspicious degree, making you feel like today is finally the day it’ll need a charge only to be proven wrong), it’s got decent looks, solid build, and they even threw in Active Noise Cancellation for situations that call for some extra silence. If you’re in the market for some new headphones for multimedia consumption (I definitely would not use these for any professional work, as they are not made for that), and have a bit of a stiffer budget, look no further. These will do more than its price tag leads on.

Decent headphones at a great price
Comfortable ear support, easy to pair with my iPhone and the microphone works well. Also impressed with the noise cancellation feature. Would recommend for someone looking for a decent set of headphones without breaking the bank.
One downside is that the audio quality could be a bit better. Observed crackling audio even when I adjusted some equalizer settings through the Soundcore app and about 60% volume.
The free app is an added bonus, though and makes switching between noise canceling modes very easy.
If you are looking for high end performance or are an audio snob, these may not be your best bet. Minus the occasional crackling audio, these headphones are a solid choice!

I am an extremely picky person when it comes to audio, I genuinely appreciate and seek out good sound and always keep my eye out for value priced audiophile quality gear and honestly for the money these headphones are exceptionally good. Excellent range, very comfortable, good noise cancelling, and a charge lasts literally forever. If you want good sound with all the features and don’t want to pay a lot of money, there is nothing better than these in my opinion. I think 2-3x the retail price of these would still be fantastic value.

Si bien no soy como otras personas un “reviewer profesional” o que me dedique a esto, puedo dar los suguientes puntos en base a mi experiencia personal tantoc o melomano como musico por hobbie.
En mi uso de audifonos tengo algunos en gama y costos similares, como son los JBL LIVE 500, Audio-technica ar3bt, Urbanista Seattle….
Estos Anker mi primera impresion fue, que tenian bastante bajos que ensuciaban el resto de la pista, a diferencia de los otros 3 modelos que mencione eh utilizado… si bien no me desagradaba, estaba considerando la calidad de audio que ofrecen los puse en ultimo lugar de mi lista de gadgets…
PERO O SORPRESA….cuando active el Anc (cancelacion de ruida activa) wwoow…. si bien por si sola la cancelacion pasiva hace muy buen trabajo, esta funcion mejora levemente la eliminacion de ruido ambiental, PERO, tambien cambian las frecuencias la musica que estas escuchando dandele una sensasion de amplitud y claridad a la musica que no tenian en mis anteriores audifonos. Los bajos pasaron a estar en segundo plano, OJO no desaparecen simplemente todo esta en un mejor balance, pero con esto todos los intrumentos escuchando rock, suenan claros estan presentes, mejoro bastante la calidad del sonido y precencia en escenario. En musica electronica tambien tienen una sobresaliente actuacion por sus bajos y potenciador de bajos electronicos que activas con un boton en los audifonos.
CONCLUSION, recomendados!!!! definitivamente Anker es una marca que lo viene hacieno bien ultimamente.
MATERIALES, CONSTRUCCION Y PRESENTACION, si bien la caja y los empacas no son de lo mas eleborado y lujoso, hasta parecieran algo de baja calidad, los audifonos los partes plasticas se ven de muy buena calidad, definitivo parece que soportaran el uso diario y algo de trato rudo pueden soportar si los cargas en tu mochila con mas cosas. Las almohadillas cubren bien tu oreja y te aislan del ruido exterior, son comodas, un poco calientes al ser piel sintetica, pero tolerables.

Tecnicamente, é um excelente produto com graves bem equilibrados e som bem cristalino. Mas comprei o fone para tentar eliminar o barulho de uma obra vizinha. O Noise Cancelling dele é muito bom, apesar do quase imperceptÃvel white noise. Deixa um pouco de ruÃdo se usar muito baixo, mas resolveu o problema de barulho externo. Almofadas confortáveis que cobrem toda a orelha e isso ajuda mais ainda. O acabamento é bom, nada excepcional, mas cumpre a função. Comandos externos de fácil acesso e a bateria duuuuura longas 40 horas (sem NC). Valeu cada centavo!

The noise cancelling is good, sound levels are fine, not heavy on the head, nor is it clunky, Bluetooth connection is fast and never troubles, easy to bring around, and the material is sort of cheap feeling if I were to nit-pick but it’s enduring greatly!
Overall good pair of headphones. Likely not the best for audiophiles though.

The noise cancelling is excellent, the sound quality is great and the headphones are comfortable enough to wear all day. Worn for an entire flight with no problems. Battery also lasts very well, and thereâs an option to manually connect which is great for saving battery when youâre sitting still.
