soundcore Anker Q20i, Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Foldable Headphones

Overview

Block out distractions and enjoy powerful wireless sound wherever you go with the soundcore by Anker Q20i Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Over-Ear Headphones in Black.

Designed for commuting, travel, work, studying and everyday entertainment, the Q20i combines Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling, oversized 40mm dynamic drivers, BassUp technology, Transparency Mode, Bluetooth multipoint, app-based EQ adjustment and up to 60 hours of battery life in a comfortable foldable over-ear design.

The Q20i uses a hybrid noise-cancelling system with microphones positioned both inside and outside the earcups. soundcore states that the system can reduce up to 90% of selected ambient noise, particularly lower-frequency sounds such as aircraft engines, road noise and machinery.

Sound is delivered through large 40mm dynamic drivers, designed to provide detailed audio with strong bass response. soundcore's BassUp technology reinforces low frequencies, while the accompanying soundcore app provides a customisable equaliser and 22 EQ presets for users who want to tailor the sound more precisely.

Battery performance is a major strength. The Q20i provides up to 40 hours of playback with ANC switched on and up to 60 hours in Normal Mode with ANC switched off. soundcore also specifies fast charging of approximately 5 minutes for up to 4 hours of additional playback under its stated conditions.

Bluetooth multipoint lets the headphones remain connected to two compatible devices simultaneously. This makes the Q20i particularly useful for work and study, allowing users to remain connected to a laptop while also receiving calls from a smartphone.

When you need to hear what is happening around you, Transparency Mode lets external environmental sound pass through without requiring the headphones to be removed. The three primary listening modes — ANC, Normal and Transparency — can be switched directly from the headphones or through the soundcore app.

The Q20i can also be used through a standard 3.5mm AUX cable. In wired mode, the headphones support Hi-Res certified audio, making the AUX connection particularly useful for compatible laptops, audio players, aircraft entertainment systems and other devices with a headphone output.
