Anker Soundcore Q20i review after a few months

[@TG_Geek]

Hey small correction guys, I bought these closer to the Holidays, so they are much more than $40. Closer to $80 actually as pointed out by @galimirund6543. Sorry for any confusion.

[@henrysantiago5997]

Do not buy these. Buy the TOZO HT2 they are $40 and they are way more comfortable and have better Bass

[@TheOnlyTaps]

Don't worry they always go on sale constantly so they are down to $40 again. Grabbed a pair last week 🫡. Very good value for money so far. Obviously not as good as the high end headphones but they get the job done for this price point against the competitors.

[@axllebeer]

@@TheOnlyTaps Yes the price fluctuates a lot and often. Put them on your wish list and wait for them to drop. I saw the price drop from I think $69 down to $39 today. Grabbed my son a pair as well.

I just bought this last week and the sound quality is quite accurate and the bass is strong, the noise cancellation is pretty nice I would say but it's not the best and the transparency mode is useful if you want to travel while listening.

Where did you get them for 40 bucks? Mine were 80 at best buy. The auxilary hook up has no bass..it's all tingy. That is strange because the JBL's I bought did the same thing. I have a pair of skull candy and I swear they are thee best headphones I have ever had. I've had them for 2 years and they broke the other day. I like how they made the logo look like a backwards beats logo lol.. Mine are charging right now. When I brought them home they were dead..no power. I hope charging changes that.

When you say aux hook up has no bass, did you try aux hook up with NC on? Some NC cans boost bass only in NC mode when using aux connector. And does NC works when hooked up on aux (with or without bass)?

I'm thinking of getting Q30. Is it worth it though? I heard that the firmware update caused the ANC to not work in wired mode. That is actually a bummer to me. What are your take on this?

[@TG_Geek]

I haven’t done any firmware updates on the 20, but I haven’t had any issues like that. The 30 is just for people who want a more “premium “ experience with the exact same features. If you’re more interested in bang for buck the 20 has the same sound drivers and battery life in a package.

[@Jakiyyyyy]

Is the latest firmware update came out of the box or it's optional that we can install it later through the app? I heard firmware version 2.30 that caused the issue. That sucks man. The main point of getting this is not for Wireless only, as someone who benefit wired mode this is actually main selling point to me. That sucks. Is there any more suggestion to this that more focused on bass and wired friendly with ANC and on similar price range? Thanks. @@TG_Geek

[@tusharralebhat3223]

Recently, I purchased this headphone from Anker India website. The sound and build quality of the product is really good. But the hybrid ANC is not upto the mark. Instead of cancelling external noise, it suppresses headphone user's voice. I raised this concern with Anker India support team and agreed to replace the product. After returning the product, they clarified that they found the unresolvable problem with the product. So, I got the replacement after waiting for almost 15 days with missing USB-C cable from the untampered box. The replaced product is also having same problem. So, it seems hybrid ANC is not working as expected. Also, when I connected to soundcore mobile app, it showed bluetooth connection history having connections which were not belonging to me. So, it is concern of trustworthiness of the Anker brand. I would recommend to be cautious while buying this product.

Just recently received mine. Amazon for $42.00. Seems to be well constructed for the price, and the sound is as expected. So far there are several complaints. 1. the usb cable is too short to be useful. 2. the manual is not the easiest to read or understand. 3. controls are not user friendly, hard to use when headphones are in use. Takes some time to get accustomed to them. Biggest issue I have is that they need a particular charger and unfortunately it does not come with one in the box. Otherwise it should serve the purpose for a majority of users.
