I’m currently using the Soundcore Q20i’s and love them. They are amazing for their price point. I actually use these over my more expensive Beats.

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... 👀

For that price I'd go for the Soundcore Q20i, they're $49.99 and sound really good at that price range,

Z czystym sumieniem polecam te: https://www.mediaexpert.pl/telewizory-i-rtv/sluchawki/wszystkie-sluchawki/sluchawki-nauszne-soundcore-q20i?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19151387165&gbraid=0AAAAADoIO69w5CHaEybyIUby8dK_qHx7o&gclid=Cj0KCQjwo63HBhCKARIsAHOHV_WPHwA2MiSIDja43RAg4s84tRGHs56l2ancKiL7yg_0pOBceROVlDoaAut_EALw_wcB W życiu nie miałam tak dobrych słuchawek! Wygłuszają hałas ulicy, TV czy japiącą Grażynę. Cenowo - bajecznie! Oprócz łączności bezprzewodowej mają też kabel z jackiem. No i wygodne, składane.

To szczęśliwie Q20i nie mają tego problemu. W mojej opinii jedyny problem jaki może wystąpić to to, że otoczenie będzie się irytować, że ich nie słyszę ☺️...

+1 I have a pair of Q20i and they are excellent. My Comparison point is a set of Bowers & Pilkins & a set of Bose QC Ultra. If you use the Q20i with a decent .ddc file? The sound is very impressive

Q20i is good. I recently tested them and the sound feels good. Of course my 2k IEMs are more detailed and bass more refined but still the tonality of Q20i is very similar i.e. good. ANC works as well. Not as good as TWS but good enough.

Definitely gonna have to temper your expectations for a wireless headphone at that budget. 99% of the time they’ll use a cheap fake leather on the earpads that will eventually make your ears warm and the ANC won’t be anything to write home about. I think your safest bet is the Soundcore Q20i headphone, and even though it’s $70, right now on their website there’s a $30 off coupon code that you can apply at the checkout to bring it down to $40 before sales tax. Soundcore also has a very handy app that you can download to EQ the sound to your own personal preference. Follow this link: https://www.soundcore.com/products/q20i-a3004z11?variant=42824773763262

Generally the go-to solution to fixing this issue is to get replacement third-party earpads that are made of a more breathable material like fabric or velour that makes your ears less warm, but the trade off is that you lose noise-cancellation because leather provides better passive noise isolation due to the thicker material creating a better seal. So you either get warm ears and better noise-isolation, or less warm ears and worse noise-isolation. Also I checked and I can’t seem to find *any* aftermarket fabric/velour pads that specifically fit the Q20i anyway sooooo that sucks. There’s really no other solution to my knowledge.
