These noise-cancelling headphones have been a great off-brand find! They connect easily via Bluetooth, and the sound quality is surprisingly good for the price. The noise cancellation works well for everyday use—perfect for work, travel, or just tuning out background noise.They feel well made and comfortable to wear, large enough, but not oversized and the overall performance definitely makes them a great value for the money.Highly recommend if you’re looking for an affordable alternative to big-name brands without sacrificing quality or durability!

I bought these in July 2023 & never left a review. For nearly 2 years they have served me well.I use them for video calls & meetings as well as music. I also have sensory issues that make wearing headphones very helpful, but finding a pair that I can comfortably wear *very* challenging.They're lightweight & flexible enough to be comfortable for hours of continuous wear, sound quality is good, and the noise canceling is decent. They definitely don't provide silence, but they block low level background noise & dull sharp sounds enough that I can function.I've carried them around without the case in a variety of environments, dropped them, accidentally smacked them against the car door & other hard surfaces, and they've held up surprisingly well- not even a scuff mark! It took about 18 months before the soft vinyl cover of the ear muff pad began to split along the seam on one side. If I cared for them properly it would probably not have done that, but I didn't. Now the other side is also splitting so I'm looking to replace them- which is the only reason I realized I didn't leave a review to begin with.That soft vinyl? It's one of the things that makes them so comfortable to wear. The flexible frame helps too.I'll probably buy the same ones again as a replacement.

Anker Soundcore Life Q30's. I've had 2 pairs. I used my first pair with my computer which is in the living room. I'm the primary care giver for my 95 year old mother who has dementia so I have to stay near enough to keep an eye on her at all times. I wanted good noise cancelling so I could listen to music or audio books instead of being stuck watching television all the time which is kept on for her entertainment.My first pair was fabulous. They were comfortable on my head. They paired to my computer easily and with only the occasional glitch that required removing them and repairing them to the computer they worked well, sounded great and the only complaint I had was as they aged, plastic bits started to break off near the slide adjustments and the thin leather cover on the earpieces began to crack and flake. The breaking plastic did not impede use or the feel of them on my head and some cheap covers over the ear pieces solved the inconvenience of have small bits of leather stuck to my face after use, lol. Even when I upgraded to Windows 11 from Windows 10, the Q30's made the transition with no problem. They lasted 4 years and I was so happy with them that when they saw their last day, I ordered a new pair.Unfortunately, the new Life Q30 (Upgraded) version will not stay paired to my computer. The pair up is easy, but the pairing lasts about 20 seconds then disconnects. I have tried every trouble shooting trick recommended including resetting the headphones and everything in between. I stopped short of removing my Bluetooth software and reinstalling it which I felt was a bridge too far for something like this. I ended up contacting Anker's tech support and explained all I had done and asked if there was anything else I could try.The upshot was they thought I had done everything possible and that the headphones must be defective and so they sent me a new pair. I hate to say it, but the new pair won't stay connected either! I have no clue what the problem is! It's especially frustrating because I can easily pair these to my android phone and they work fine. No disconnects, nothing. They're great with my phone, just not my computer!Anyway, I've purchased a different brand of headphones in the hope they will work with the computer, have kept the new Q30's I purchased to use with my phone and gave the replacement pair from Anker to my brother. I still recommend the Q30's just note that they may not work with every device. Unless perhaps you are a computer whiz who knows the perfect adjustment to make them work. If you do, please comment on my review and let me know!!

VERY Pleasantly surprised. My Sony XM4's finally died, and I didnt have a similar budget to replace them. I looked at reviews and these kept coming up as the best bang for the buck. WOW are they. Build quality feels as good or better than my Sony's. Sound is impeccable and noise cancelling more than does the job. I ride a train 5 hours a day when I commute and these are comfortable for long listening sessions. I also didnt see this mentioned, but they come with a super sturdy case so I can toss em in my bag and not stress. Would buy again. Will update if the build quality doesnt hold up, but so far, color me impressed.
