I loved the q30, and as a plus they came in clutch during the pandemic. I would secure the face mask to the headphones thanks to the design. I used them 5 days a week for extended hours since launch, because the environment I work in is loud, and they are still kicking. Had to buy the q45 almost immediately after getting the email.

[@VictorHernandez-qt2xx]

Great review. I just got these and loving them. One gripe I do have: the track controls seem to be backwards, you long press to change the track and single press for volume, but I find myself switching tracks way more often than messing wit the volume. If you are being active (running etc..), it is a pain point, especially since you have the nice transparency mode button that quickly lowers the volume for you if you suddenly need to be more aware of your surroundings.

[@ELJefeReviews]

Thanks for sharing!🙏🏼

[@deeayeveeeyees]

these are not primarily geared for sports so unfortunately you might be the exception. I would assume most people use the volume control more than switching tracks (atleast that's the case with me) so I can see why they would program it that way. but would be cool if you could switch it in the app

[@tap-san5214]

@@joshuahendrickson4854 what is the case? can I get a name?

[@ozzacassiepophart6349]

These are absolutely awesome. I have a soundcore space Q 45 and model of the space Q 45 that I have. Does it have it where you can listen to them without them being on when you plug it into an ox cable. I am blind and autistic, and I use them as noise, canceling headphones to help with my autism, and for that they work beautifully. I am amazed at how well noise is canceled out by soundcore and how things are done in that department. I love all the features that they have and really liked it. You can change the sound quality. Ever since I started using soundcore, I have a lesson anxiety and less issues when it comes to behavior and I haven’t been having irritable bowel syndrome issues as much as I did with other headphones that I’ve used when I’ve listen to them. This is all because they cancel out noise well enough that I can focus, although they do not completely cancel out noise. But the good thing is that you can’t swim out enough to where I can focus and calm down and be able to think and stop a meltdown from occurring. Sometimes they don’t work and they don’t help but most of the time we do. I used to use soundcore‘s wife tune Headphones, which were the beginning of my soundcore journey. I am trying out other companies so that way I have other options besides just sound core. But all in all the sound core headphones are a life changer for me and a big game changer when it comes to my life with autism. I would say kudos to soundcore for a great product and a somewhat durable one. The life tunes I don’t think are as durable as the space Q 45. It does help that they have the aluminum large hinge on them. Now if somebody can get soundcore to send me a free extra set of headphones, that would be awesome because I’ve been trying to get, the insurance that I have to cover my headphones under medical devices. I meant cancel it out, and I meant the word that not dead. I also meant life not wife. Sometimes my voice dictation thinks I’m trying to say something else other than what I am trying to say. It’s because of the way, my speech is as part of my autism. So bear with me on the typos.

[@ELJefeReviews]

[@hemendex]

First of all, thanks for the great and professional review. The other reviewers are advertising agents :) The headphones arrived yesterday and I have mixed impressions of them. Anker always adds something, but also takes something away. The sound is cleaner and less bassy compared to the Q30, but flat when the ANC is on. I hope an update will resolve this. The Q35 had the same sound issues. I don't know why the touch sensor on the right earpiece was removed, also the auto pause music sensors, missing NFC and I miss the "superior sleep" a bit. I don't understand why Anker is removing proven features! Are they keeping it for the Q55? ANC is improved, but weaker compared to the Sony XM3 and the sound is not as good as the Sony either. So like you said, upgrading from Q30 and Q35 is nonsense, for a new customer a must :)

[@mannykhan7752]

Great review. One thing that a lot of reviewers are not addressing is the difference in padding on the headband itself. On the Q35, there is a lot of padding making it comfortable to wear for long periods of time but in Q45, they reduced that padding to almost non-existent level and it does make a difference when you wear it.

[@gangsterjackal841]

Well said, well said

[@nitramus123]

The Q45 still have alot of padding, it is just more stiff and you have to "break" them down and you will be fine. But I agree the Q35 are more comfortable.

[@joshuahendrickson4854]

There is a difference in padding, however, these headphones are much better than either the q30's or the q35's.

[@gtbigdog3507]

I am thinking about sending them back because of lack of padding

[@joshuahendrickson4854]

The lack of padding on the headband doesn't bother me at all. The padding around the ear cups is so much, it kind of compinsates for the lack of padding on the headband at least for me.

[@Robert-yp9zs]

Additional information dealing with the controls, starting around 6:59. There is one button that controls five functions--only four mentioned. Play/Pause; Answer/End calls; XX; Mute/Mic; Voice Assist. Which action is the default setting when the headphone is first connected to one's PC--either via 3.5mm cable or via Bluetooth? Or, does the last setting remain "live" until button is pressed to select another action? (Alas, the print documentation is woefully lacking for this superlative device...a shame.)

[@hemendex]

Anker sent me an updated firmware (v 02.16) for my headphones that fixes the sound issues. For now, it's a beta version. The bass is more pronounced, but the sound is still different and flatter when the ANC is on. It's definitely an improvement though. So we'll see if it gets even better in the official update.

[@luckyharbinger2054]

Mic sounds good. No passive listening is weird, sometimes I run the battery out and this is mainly why I use the AUX cable. The much cheaper Q30 has it. Lack of touch controls is also weird, why do you it when you already have the tech? Cutting corners? Feels like Q30 were too good for their price and Soundcore is unable to justify a big increase in price for future models. Remember how they removed ANC in wired mode retroactively, as if to make a feature exclusive to Q35?

[@chasingexcellence6646]

As a user of Space Q45, it definitely has passive listening via Aux/audio jack. That’s why it has an audio jack port on the right cup. It can be listened when powered off. I think El Jefe made a mistake here? And Q45 can also do ANC while in wired mode.

[@danmatney7095]

I watched this video when it first came out and was toying with Apple AirPods Max. Since then, I didn't do anything because, I have been happy with my Q35s. The beauty of my use case is that I can use the 3.5mm plug on my sound system and then i use noise cancelling when I play drums. I am in a glass cage so, the sound is deafening without ANC. The Q35s held up quite well BUT Amazon had a sale on the 45's for 100.00 so, I grabbed them. I am going to probably be laughed at for saying this but, my experience thus far is that the Q35s have a better sound output than the Q45s. I am glad to have them but, not overly excited. So, if you listen to the end of the video where he suggests that if you have the 35s already that you will not need this "upgrade." He is correct - you do not need them. I am going to hold on to them and wait for the 35 battery to die but, it was not worth the purchase. Also, he says that if you need an over the ear and do not have anything, this is where you need to be. Right on target, as usual.

[@ELJefeReviews]

Thanks for sharing your experience here.

[@mokisan]

The no passive listening is also a thing in q35 too right? Because i face it too. Also correct me if i am wrong below. Some advantages of the q35 over q45 - • The wear sensor weirdly exists in the older (not so older) q35 • The 3.5mm cable has an angled jack and is about 124cm long for the older one. • The q35 apparently sound very similar to the q45 (according to a review by "Brannon No D") • q35 also has NFC (idk if the q45 has it) • Also the q35 has touch control similar to the xm4 for noise cancellation/transperancy/normal • Also i get an airplane adapter in the q35 • you can get them for $89 during sale (which i did) or a regular price of $104 • Also you can use two devices in dual connect using LDAC. Some advantages of the q45 - • q45 has 3 mics and the q35 has 2 mics on each cups. • 4 hours in 4 minutes vs the 4 hours in 5 minutes of the q35 • 50 hours of total instead of 40 hours of q35. Also P.S.A - Dont plug your q35 to the airplane using the wired cable soundcore advises against that (although we get one in the box)

[@ELJefeReviews]

Yup!

[@DanVanDamme]

Thanks for a great review and the comment on this feature summary comparison between Q35 and Q45! I am trying to justify spending the extra $70 CAD for the Q45 for a 7 hour flight to Europe. Is it worth it or is the Q35 going to be just fine?

[@mokisan]

@@DanVanDamme the q35 is better infact as it has dual connection in ldac mode which the q45 lacks lol. And it also has the wear sensor which the q45 doesn't have and so does nfc which exists in the 35 and not 45 also the q35 has an airplane adapter.

[@nwananka]

Also to give you ANC while wired. But they should give us an option to power device off and use it with no enhancements wired

[@minimax754]

Hi Jeff can you compare Cleer Enduro ANC vs Soundcore q45? Which one has better sound quality and comfortability of those two? Will comoany Cleer launch new model of headphones this year (any info)?

[@person7419]

Awesome videos! Thank you

[@gonzalosalcas]

Diferencia entre Q35 y Space Q45 ? Tengo los Q35 si se puede escuchar bien con cable , una vez que se debe agotar la bateria , yo lo uso con Dac externo sensor de proximidad?

[@moonmancastro]

el jefe, i purchased these a few days ago. i went in weary since you mentioned that the passive mode will force the headphones to turn on but the past few nights i’ve been using them on passive mode with the aux plugged into my ps5 controller and to my knowledge they never turned on and still sounded amazing when off. do you know if they fixed this issue in an update? i noticed there was a large update waiting for me when i first went into the app with these.

[@ELJefeReviews]

It's possible they fixed this via F/W update.

Hey @el jefe any chance on a best gym buds with ear hooks video? Lookin to buy some christmas gifts wondering whats changed in the last couple years for waterproof/resistant buds with earhooks for working out

[@TheMrjonv]

Question. If you have the Sony 1000xm4 should you pick up the Souncore Space Q45s? Thank you for all of your hard work.

[@ELJefeReviews]

No.

[@TheMrjonv]

@@ELJefeReviews Thank you

[@chriss1105]

How would you rate these compared to the Bose QC35 II's? - both in terms of sound quality and ANC? :)

[@mbaudio2574]

Thanks for another great review! I already own and love the Liberty 3 Pro and I'm wondering whether I should get another pair OR get the Space Q45. If I'm only concerned about sound quality, which one should I get?

[@ELJefeReviews]

Sound quality only? Liberty 3 Pro or Liberty 4 if they are available where you live.

[@mbaudio2574]

@@ELJefeReviews Great! Thanks a lot!!

My guy…putting in the work!!!

We out here bro!

[@alexandru256]

Thank YOU !

[@ELJefeReviews]

Welcome!

[@pocoyomc]

Great review as always. Keep up the great work. Are the headphone cups and I side depth bigger than the q35 or the same?

[@ELJefeReviews]

Deeper but otherwise the same size.

[@pocoyomc]

Thank you. I find the q35 inner felt a tad close to my ears. I might try the q45 to see what these are like.

[@ashash679]

Dear El Jefe. Thanks a lot for your great and very friendly reviews. I just want to let you know that I bought these Soundcore Space Q45 in part bc of you and must tell you that THEY DO HAVE PASSIVE LISTENING with the cable without turning themselves on The one thing I notice is that with the cable the music quality seems to diminish instead of improve. Perhaps I have an updated version, I don't know but I'm happy to say this. Once again, thank you for your recomendations :)

[@ELJefeReviews]

They fixed the problem after this video was released.

[@billychen9085]

I know its been a while since you put out this review. I know you compared the Cleer Enduro ANC with the Soundcore Life Q35 in another review -- but how would you say the sound quality compares between these Q45's vs the Enduro's?

[@xanxus8272]

Did Soundcore fix the passive listening via the AUX cable?

[@flordianetobias4781]

I love the pale pink color at Q35, so i wish it will be release the pink one at Q45 and I will buy for sure... I love soundcores, budget and high quality performance. I always bought at Amazon, and i sell it here in the Philippines. I gonna say soundcore here is worth buying where Filipinos hit the taste of soundcore. I already got q20, q20+, q30, q35, q45! I sold 2pcs of q20+, 1pc of q20, and q35. Im using my q30, and on hand of Q45... All are good.... :)

[@ELJefeReviews]

Nice!

[@GregoryLopez1]

I was thinking of replacing my Sony XM4s they are failing post-warranty with the Q45s. One thing I like about them is passive listening through the 3.5mm jack. Yours was the only review I saw on the Q45s that pointed out that this isn't possible with them, which is a deal breaker for me. Thanks for pointing that out! And if anyone has a recommendation for headphones that have this capability, I'd appreciate advice!

[@SimpLeeBeth]

Apparently, passive listening is now possible

[@GregoryLopez1]

Timely reply,@@SimpLeeBeth ! My XM4's literally just snapped at the hinge today after they came back from a $200 post-warranty repair for an infamous noise-cancelling feedback issue. Looks likely that I'll need a replacement pair soon, and the Q45s are at the top of my list now that passive listening is possible!

[@vaibhavpindikura3841]

I have a pair of Q35 and their sound leakage is very bad; even with low volumes, people can hear what I'm listening quite clearly. Does the Q45 have good sound leakage?

[@urihasbeenb1xcked]

I got some pretty busted q10's and I wanna replace them, should I go for the space q45 or skull candy crusher evo. I tried them in best buy and them shits blew my head off and I love it

[@djzenmusic]

what did you mean by "no passive listening" ?

[@michael_pamelabryner_hart7613]

Well, I just splurged to get the Q45s. Enjoyed the Q35s but some reason the music chops in LDAC codec. Work around that I do works but hassle to do every single time each morning starting my walks. Hoping Q45s do not have to make me do the work around daily.

[@kloakovalimonada]

I've seen a couple of reviews specifically mentioning that passive listening IS indeed possible with the Q45 turned off. So which is it? Maybe changed with a firmware update?

[@ELJefeReviews]

It was fixed via firmware update after this video was released.

[@deshn21]

Thanks for the review. Well put together.

[@ELJefeReviews]

Glad it was helpful!
