Life is loud, whether you are at home or in the office or even on the commute we are all constantly barraged with a cacophony of noises, notifications and non-stop sounds.
Since I got my first pair of noise-cancelling headphones a few years ago I've slapped them on and not looked back. The only real downside is this impressive sound-suppressing technology can be pretty expensive, with pairs like the Sony WH1000X5 costing around £326, which just isn't in everyone's budget.
The Soundcore Anker Q20 Headphones are a quality pair of wireless headphones that offer Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation and all for only £35.99 right now which is a fraction of the normal price for good headphones with Noise cancellation.
Who is Soundcore? well, that's a fair question as I wasn't immediately familiar with the name either until I realized it's part of Anker who is best known for its expertise in manufacturing batteries, and charging solutions, however, they have a solid reputation for quality in the tech industry.
The Q20 headphones are packed with high-end features that betray the incredible price point including 40mm drivers that offer great audio quality and strong bass performance.
So is the ANC any good? between their over-ear design that passively blocks some noise and using the Q20's 4 built-in ANC microphones and Ankers digital active noise cancellation algorithm, the hybrid ANC can detect and cancel out a wide range of low and mid-frequency noises such as cars and aeroplane engines creating a very respectable level of ANC that will keep out the world and help you focus.
They also can go the distance too offering around 40-Hour playtime in wireless active noise cancellation mode at 60% volume and 60 hours with ANC off lasting around 600 songs, making them perfect for long flights, the weekly commute or great if like me, you forget to charge everything regularly.
And if you do forget to charge them a quick 5-minute charge can give you 4 hours of performance enough to cover most trips. If you want to save battery life you can even use them wired as they come with AUX cable for unlimited listening with any device with a standard 3.5mm jack.
The Soundcore Anker Q20 Headphones might not able able to beat out headphones like the Sony WH1000X5 or EPOS H3Pro Hybrid but they do a fantastic job for an incredibly low price making them great for anyone on a budget or as a gift.
