My take from the review is best for an office or dorm (block out voices, light air circulation) but there might be better choices for air travel (loud low frequency rumble.) For $42 a bargain if it fits your need vs. say a Bose QC for >$300.
I did just have to replace the foam earpads which wound up being a BIG upgrade to comfort compared to the stock ones. Can now wear for multiple hours while gaming with no problem, very comfortable. Wound up going with these [amazon.com] for $22.xx and very happy with them. Highly recommend looking into a swap if you find stock pads uncomfortable.
Overall very good considering the price. If you're in the market for a set that won't break the bank this is it. I will also note the ANC was good enough to help stifle our old, loud riding mower last season and listen to podcasts while I mowed...

Do you have these? Review says too much bass.

Two key things I am looking for are Bluetooth 5 and USB-C charging. Unfortunately, this uses micro USB.
I ended up buying 2 and rotating them while one was charging. On both, one cup died, and I had to take them apart and re-solder a wire that had come loose. I had to do this with both. I upgraded to the QC30 that has usb c and doesn't have that same loose wire problem. I'm happy to ditch the Q20 for the Q30s and think the price difference is more than made up for in build quality.

q20 has better noise cancelling, but only if you are sitting and not moving, otherwise you'll get that noise cancelling "pop" with any sudden movements.
q30 noise cancelling is pretty weak, but everything else is slightly better than the q2. I didn't like the tiny on/off button on the q30 and didn't like how a slight touch on the earphone of the q30 turns off/on the noise cancellation. I'm finding that a lot of times I accidentally turn it off and keep having to turn it on
Only negative is someone telling me my mic was too quiet. Only had one person say that, but now in combo with the ANC I find myself using a loud voice when talking, so I take one ear off on calls to make sure I'm not yelling.

Regardless, I would recommend these to anybody. If $40-ish is your hard budget, get the Q20s. If you have a few bucks more, I'd hold out to get the Q30s, which I believe you can find for about $60 on sale.
