Great headphones and an absolute steal at this price. As an owner myself, I recommend letting these "burn-in" for 2-3 days, that is, play a variety of music at a moderate volume to allow the drivers to loosen up (stick them in a drawer if you don't want to hear it). I thought I was going to return these after initial listening and setup using the soundcore app (HearID test), but sound quality improved quite notably and are now solid contenders especially at this price. Also, IMHO the best overall sound for music is achieved with active noise cancelation (ANC) enabled (vs Normal/Off or Transparency Mode). Sub-bass sounded more present (but not overdone) this way. Recommend using ANC for the burn-in period as well. Obviously don't use ANC if you're biking, walking or in a situation which requires you to be aware of your surroundings, however.

After burn-in, go back to the soundcore app and rerun the HearID test if you're still not liking the sound quality, or tweak further to dial things in to your preference.

As far as call quality, I can hear just fine and callers think I sound okay, but I don't make calls in noisy environments to comment any further.

Some reviews mentioned bluetooth lag with this headset: running the latest firmware (6.34 per the soundcore app), I encountered none when paired to my Amazon Firestick 4k. I also did not encounter lag when paired to my phone using LDAC (for higher fidelity). Audio sync was spot on for both devices when watching people talk on news programs. It's possible this issue was corrected from earlier firmware versions, but I updated my headset as soon as I got it via the app.

Just my two cents and hand to the Slickdeals community bible that I am not a paid shill and bought mine for $100 from Amazon in the past week.
Being an owner of these, having bought them about 3 weeks ago, I've charged them twice and have used them for over 35 hours. They're still at 50% charge also. Your unit probably has a worn battery.
There's not one Costco Next store. You're buying from the manufacturer and need to look at their return policy. Standard Anker warranty applies.

If you prefer in-ears (not as effective for ANC though), the Space A40 is also a good buy on Costco Next at $40 right now (ETA: just below the free shipping threshold though), vs $54 IIRC on BF.

What's the return policy for Costco next store? I'm a bit weary because my previous Anker q30 head band cracked 2 months out off warranty. And Anker just shrugged and said tough luck

Not in this case, since the price is only visible on the Anker site once you log in with your Costco account.

FYI, the return period is 30 days only and customer pays for return shipping. Anyone know what the warranty period?

Looks like these dont come with a travel case... kind of unfortunate for a high end headset but anyway, anyone recommend a good sized case for these? If they really compete with the high end offerings that start at $150 on deep discount, i am willing to give them a go. Going to need a way to keep them fresh in my backpack though.

Mine came with a case. I bought mine a year ago from Best Buy, standard manufacturer packaging. They have held up well (headphones + case).

Bought them certified refurbished from Amazon for the same price. Battery life is abysmal with under three hours although the outside appearance is impeccable. I discount that to improper refurbishment.

In calls some peers complain about a light hall when ANC is on. There is a tiny amount of lag, it becomes more apparent in calls and overspending/interrupting. Firmware is the newest available. It doesn't operate when charging, bummer. Range is ok, 30ft, much better than my jabra evo 65.

Works just fine paired to a Mac.
