Soundcore - Space Q45

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.

I love my soundcore space q45s, I can’t recommend anything more lol

I’ve had mine for over a year, no problems with mine, but I get it!

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.

If $150USD is your maximum limit then I’d go for the Soundcore Space Q45. Link to product: https://anker.com.bd/product/soundcore-space-q45/

Soundcore by Anker. All the way.

Anything made by Anker's Soundcore brand. I snagged their Space Q45 on prime day for $89, but the Q30 are/were less and allegedly sound pretty damn good, maybe even better for music but worse for phone calls. Their Noise Cancelation is among the best, say the reviewers, but they are my first pair of NC headphones so I don't know. Edit: I missed the under $200 part, just saw "poor audiophile", so maybe ignore the Q30, but the reviews I read the last few days days the Q45 were the best under $200. I think the Sony XM4 were under $200 during Prime Days.

Check out the Soundcore models from Anker. Their plastic shells around the slider mechanism tends to crack and break, but a nice piece of duct tape can hold that all together. Seems like an odd thing to say, but honestly the tape doesn't bother me, and when you balance the low price with what you get (sound quality pretty good, battery life is very good, and I'd say the noise canceling is at least good enough). I have Soundcore Space 45, which I am very pleased with. Looks like the newer models have a different headband design, so this might not be an issue anymore.

Wireless headphones really aren't a BIFL item. They'll eventually break, or the battery will lose capacity. I like the Anker Soundcore headphones. The sound is decent and they're not terribly expensive. Over/around the ear headphones really aren't great for workouts. Too hot, and generally not sweat proof. Look into earbuds or bone-conductive headphones that have an IPX rating.

Q45s were pretty nice. I tried a pair but returned them and moved up a little higher in price point.
