Life Q30

I don't celebrate Christmas in however I asked my mum to get me the Soundcore Q30s as they were on a 50% off deal which reduced them from £80 to £40 so I got them quickly and after 4 days of using them I can say that they are bloody spectacular. First up is the bass, it is shockingly good and you can feel the headphones vibrate, 2nd is the noise cancelling and it is bloody amazing, reduces sounds a lot and it has outdoor, indoor and transport modes and it is just amazing, comfort is a big factor for me and it's very comfy. Nice squishy earcups and some more foam pad on the headband is also really nice on the top of your head, The addition of aux is very nice as it allows me to use my Sony cassette player. If you are looking to buy headphones I would highly recommend the Soundcore Q30s, I also was about to forget the battery which is also great as Soundcore is with Anker you know the battery is great and I have not had to charge the battery since it came at 60% and 5 days later it is still going at 20% unlike before with my earbuds when I was having to charge them even 3 times a day.

I agree with you, plus since Soundcore is a sub brand of Anker you know the battery life is going to be the best out there.

There are diminishing returns in the audiofile/hifi space after certain price points. I have not noticed a significant decrease in ANC between the q45 and q30. Any difference was not due to software. If you look up OPs reddit history, they are young and have significant health issues. $50 might not be much to you or I, but that can be a significant challenge for someone living with their challenges.

Agree with the Anker Soundcore Q30 which comes in right at your price point.

Q 30 has great audio and terrible construction

I use Soundcore Q20i. Dirt cheap, comfy, and do the trick. My wife has the Q30 simply because it had nicer colors and it's also great. When I want to be discreet I use Soundcore Liberty 5 in ears with foam plugs (or just plain old loops for passive NC). Honestly I'm happy with my setup as is, but I also kind of fell in love with the Nothing over ears, so... 👀

I love my soundcore q30s I live in a small house with thin walls and these cut out so much sound without even turning them on but add in some music and it's like I'm in my own little bubble.

I bought a pair of Koss KPH30 wireless headphones to use as general purpose for work and home. I’m on a lot of zoom calls, so that means I’d like to use the Bluetooth mic; but there seems to be a firmware bug that breaks switching between HFP/HSP and A2DP mode. If I record with software, it works the first time. When I stop, I hear a beep in the headphones. After that, I can't record audio from the headphones without power cycling them. This is true with voice memos on iOS, quicktime on macOS, and Zoom on macOS. Calls appear unaffected. I could get it to break in voice memos on iOS, then immediately make a phone call and the other side could hear me. I’ve contacted Koss support. They quickly sent me a replacement pair, assuming it was a defect in my specific headset. But the problem occurs with both sets. I suspect that most people who buy these headphones don’t use the mic much, particularly outside of phone calls. But if you have a set, can you try it out and check if you see the same behavior?

I have a pair of soundcore Q30 that have never had a problem. They're also able to dynamically switch between two devices, too, which the KPH30 can't. I can accept that. But I can't accept the microphone just turning itself off forever for no reason. You say "this kind of switching." I'm not switching anything. I pair the headphones with a computer. I use zoom. I close the zoom call. I use zoom again: no input.
