Soundcore Life Q30 review

Soundcore Life Q30

The best of the cheap pairs. Noise cancelling that you notice.

9/104.5 / 5

Soundcore Life Q30 reviews are the rare budget-headphone pile that is mostly right. Active noise cancelling you can actually hear working, a battery that lasts days, and an app with an equaliser. I wore them on trains and at the desk. They are the best of this cheap set.The complaints are the ones you should expect. The earcups get warm. The plastic does not feel like Sony's. The microphone is fine for a call and poor for a podcast. ANC takes the drone out and leaves voices. People who say they replaced a much dearer pair are stretching it. People who say they are shocked at the price are not.
