Deal History
Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
I miss 2020. These used to be $20 from Newegg. Best price.
They lasted me until last month. Had to throw them out when the plastic cracked and one of the earpieces came off the band. Worked perfectly fine but no way I could glue that entire earpiece assembly back to the headband.
Yes, cracked headband is a known issue with these headphones but I believe they come with 1 year warranty from Anker. Mine cracked when the warranty almost ran out and Anker replaced them - no sweat. Replacement set also suffered the same problem but I figure $20 I originally paid for them was a fair deal. I love the battery life in these headphones.

Not happy with these. I think I got them a while ago for 20 or so, may be a little more. They have been sitting in my drawer. Used them a couple of times.
First, they are not very comfortable me, my Sony fits better.
Second, switching multiple devices wasn't that seamless.
Third, I like sound and ANC, especially in airplane, on the Sony better.
From earbuds and headphones I have, I like Samsung, Sony Jabra better than Anker.
Sure they sound better than some no name Chinese crap on AliExpress, but I wouldn't waste moneyon them (well I already have, but trying to help someone else not to repeat my mistake)

Can't really compare them to the high-end Sony's or Bose. I gave the q20 to my 10 year old and it worked great for her until the band cracked. Also had the ear covering replaced cause it tore. The ANC is definitely not as good as my XM5's. (probably half as effective). And it lacks the pad controls, the 2 device bluetooth connection. But for $20, it was awesome.

Yep, I loved them when they lasted. The battery life is fantastic - I didn't realize this because it was my first wireless headset but I could go for weeks without charging them. And if you've never had ANC before, it was great to hear the difference with it on and off. For $20, it was a fantastic buy. Anker's a reputable company.
$43 is a bit much though to pay for these now but I don't really see any cheaper alternatives today. The Monoprice is the only one around $25 and that one has terrible battery life
The Q20i headphones are only $1 more.....much better deal imo.
Until you check 1 star review that user own both
"I bought the Q20 and the Q20i version. I returned the Q20i version because the audio quality is poor and they are too plastic and cheaply made. It's very apparent that the Q20i is a much cheaper model, but marketed as an improvement- they simply are not. If your trying to chose between the Q20 and Q20i models, buy the Q20. Differences are: Q20i needs an app to adjust equaliser EQ settings. The default setting is just garbage. You'll spend forever messing with it, It's just a pointless gimmick, IMHO. Q20i uses USB-C whereas Q20 use Micro-USB to charge. Charge time is the same, battery life is the same. Q20 are a noticeably better build. The Q20i feel cheap, flimsy and not very robust. They feel easily breakable. Q20 have different control button layout, the Q20i crams all the functions in to 3 buttons, whereas the Q20 has 5 buttons: vol up, vol dn, power, NoiseCancel, PlayPause. The vol buttons double as skip and prev buttons."

Not nearly as good a deal at $43 now.
