Just FYI: if you have a remotely big head, these are not for you. They will break fairly quickly if you extend them to their limit.

Noise canceling on these is terrible. Good headphones at a reasonable price, but don't expect much if on an airplane or noisy environment.

Weird, I think the NC is amazing. Blocks out all the AC / Wife trying to talk to me noise that I would want.

The ANC on these are the best you're likely to get without spending 5-10 times as much. Good Bose or Sony headsets will beat these for sure but for this price range the ANC is excellent.
rtings gives these a 7.6 on noise isolation test and 7.3 for genereal commute /travel score.
https://www.rtings.com/headphones...0-wireless
vs the Bose / Sony headphones get isolation scores 9+
The Anker Q30 newer model is $56 and it has a 8.8 score for isolation at rtings.

Had to return mine. When I turn on anc, it boosts the bass to the point of severe distortion. I think software can fix, but the app didn't have any updates for it. Its like it doubles bass boost.

Headphones are light and comfortable, but feel very fragile. Not sure how long they would last.

Same here. For the price you can't beat the NC.

I have these; they are lightweight and kinda fragile. The sound is OK (not fantastic like most Amazon reviewers are raving), ANC is average, however, the cushions don't breathe at all, after five minutes of listening, my ears were burning like crazy.
Edit. Also, when changing between ANC, Normal, and Transparency Modes, the sound profile (EQ) changes completely. It's almost like it goes from bass boost to flat to treble boost.

Decent headphones but they use outdated micro USB cable for charging. This alone would cause me to skip it. Need to step up to Q25 or Q30 to get a USB-C charging headphone.

Last week I was able to get "refurb" Q20 from Anker's eBay site for $18 - pkg was new/sealed and was the Q20i version with usb-c with 2 yr warranty. Check occasionally for similar deal on their wesite if that's what you want.
