Again? This seems like the normal sale price for these. I'll repeat on this thread, don't purchase this if you have a large noggin. The plastic covering the metal headband is thin and easily breaks from light flexing.

I have this exact model and sure enough the plastic part of the headband broke. I contacted customer service with photos and they sent me a new pair for what it's worth

Good headphones for the price, especially since they now have USB C. Potential negative is the ANC might not work without an active bluetooth connection, say for instance you are on a plane and just want the ANC.

But I will add...
I think I would buy the Q35 FIRST and then the baseus model. But for the price, the baseus is a no brainer and don't forget to download the app if you want to control EQ and turn on or off bass boost and many ANC options.
Q35 is just to pricey right now. I think I once paid $35. But today it is way too much $$$$$
Point is... the baseus is the way to go.

I have reviewed these headphones before because I think they are the best noise-cancelling headphones you can buy for the money.
I have no idea what the people who are experiencing breakage are doing, but I have had mine over two years.
I throw them in my backpack when I go to the gym and I throw them in my lunch box when I go to work and have had zero issues with the quality of the construction.
The noise cancelling is fantastic on these. I work in an auto repair shop and these block out ALL the noise. I wear them to the gym to cancel out the awful music they are playing and the people who talk WAY to loud.
I thought about buying another pair(because they are that good) but then realized "why?" since I have had NO issues with these headphones.
Somebody wants to pay $200-300 for "top of the line" headphones? Be my guest.
I'll stick with these Soundcore Anker babies!!!!

I got these a couple of months ago as a gift (from someone who got it for free from work and didn't even bother opening them Big Grin). They're super plasticly, and feel cheap, but the sound is actually not too bad if you love bass. I use them.

The Anker Soundcore Life Q30 headphones do not support the LDAC audio codec.
In my book, it is not even an option... and yes, I own a pair (purchased for my kid) and I hear a difference with LDAC and no LDAC.

I will add... LDAC is good and is missing with the Q20 and is also missing from the Q30... you need the Q35 or higher.
The ones sold by Baseus plays hi res LDAC codex and has 80 hours of life vs 70 hours. And it is the same price!!!
I will add that two years ago, three years ago, four years ago... Soundcore had the best value but in the last two years Baseus has the best value.

On those cheap headphones LDAC is a gimmick. It eats more battery as well. There is no way to verify BH1 uses BT6.

"I hear a difference with LDAC and no LDAC." If you do, then you are in 5% of people who can.

I bought these for $70 they are much better than the 40$ tritronic models in terms of noise cancelling.. if you travel thiis allows you to sleep in the airplane

I have a pair of Q35 and Q30 (both CHEAP) and the q30 does not have LDAC and the Q35 does.
And I definitely hear a difference, so I disagree. And LDAC is not a gimmick at any level... it is a codec that Soundcore did not want to pay for (the patent) and therefore can not take advantage of hi res LDAC. It is just like Samsung not paying for the codec for dolby vision which is a shame. I hate when companies go cheap on the behalf of their customers.
Now, BH1 says BT6... it is writen in BIG LETTERS all over but you think they are lying or at the very least you want everyone to doubt those letters. You do know if they are lying, you can sue them. I think your reference is STUPID.
OK... NOW lets talk about the two headphones....
One lasts longer and One has LDAC. One was made in the last two years and the other one was made a little over 6 years ago. And the newer one with LDAC has the longer battery life and it is the BASEUS model.
AND THEY ARE THE SAME PRICE....
And your response is LDAQ is meaningless???!!!! And there is NO PROOF that the specs on the box are real????!!!!! COME ON MAN... get with it.
