Soundcore - H30i

When you said techlife buds have better sound quality , u mean just the base was better right?. Have you played around with the presets? Have you boosted the bass ? Cuz I have the H30i and bass eq they provide is pretty good but i tone the base down a lot of times to make other sounds clear.

Seconded. The anker on ear soundcore line is very good.

I have the h30i, which are on-ear but still with the similar sound signature. I usually EQ the bass down and get the other frequencies up so it sounds less bloated to my ears. Love them though, the brand has such good value.

For ₹2100 (with an extra ₹300 off on amazon ) soundcore h30i will be the best for both of your needs.

Not at all, almost negligible, I use them in library and nobody could hear what I am listening to.

Yes. And the battery backup is also amazing

I have tested all the options that OP posted, and maybe because they are over the ears they have a significant sound leak when volume reaches 60-70% but in soundcore, there is a minimal sound leak, almost negligible when you reach 80-90% volume and my friends couldn’t recognise what I was listening to. And yes, one thing to consider that they are on the ear headphones, so they will be a little uncomfortable initially but once they get adjusted to your head they will be just fine. You can also loosen them by placing on a stack of books.

Same, soundcore H30i, they are better than JBLs which are almost at the same price, other option is sony WH-CH520 if you could grab it under 3k. But I have read some reddit posts only saying the soundcore are still better than both jbl and sony. So at this price point I think they are the best choice.

Mic quality is just average, not so good. For longer durations, you may stretch them so that they will get loose, and then they will be comfortable.

You won’t get good sound quality in wireless headphones, for that purpose consider wired headphones like akg etc. the wireless ones these days just don’t limit to giving sound, they are all in competition with the battery life, latency, connectivity, so in all these so called features sound quality is compromised. But still if you need wireless ones you could consider soundcore H30i, these are the only headphones in this price range which are durable with decent sound quality.

Bro go for Soundcore h30i!!!! Literally the best headphone under 2k

I don't know about the Q20, but I'm on my third pair of H30i (lost the first two) and they're a decent sounding set. Ideal gym fodder.

Go for soundcore h30i, they can come near 1500 in sales, although they're on the headphones so if you're watching lectures for long hours they can start to get uncomfortable. Other than that there are some very nice looking over the ear headphones from noise near 1500, idk the name rn but I'm guessing the build and sound quality is gonna be cheaper than soundcore

I also have adhd and get migraines, and I’m canadian too. I can’t speak to sleeping with the headphones on, but I do have a physically demanding outdoor job and have worn my anker soundcore (not the pros, just the regular ones) over hear headphones all day every day for the last year with no issues. Noise cancelling works great and the battery lasts all week (40hrs with ANC on, 50hrs without), which is huge imo. They are also only $140 last I checked. Anker has two websites; one for their charging devices (which are great quality too), and one for their speakers & headphones, so make sure you go to the Anker SoundCore site. Alternatively, you can also get them on amazon canada. Edit: phrasing

Are you using them for work or personal? After wearing the 3M WorkTunes over ear headphones for work, i can firmly state that they will do an excellent job of protecting your ear drums, but they will also make your head feel like it’s in a vice. I switched to the Anker SoundCore over ear headphones and they are super light weight and honestly don’t feel terribly durable, but they fold up nicely and come with their own carrying bag. And they’re way cheaper than bose or sony. i have had mine for about a year and use them every day for work (groundskeeper, lots of noisy machines) and they are still going strong, no issues. Headband is cushioned nicely too. Battery also lasts for several days even with noise cancellation running, which is a huge plus imo.

I've really liked my Anker Soundcore headphones. They have ANC, water proof, have over the ear loops, and not as expensive as most models that have similar features.

Soundcore by Anker. All the way.
