Which has better noise cancelling?

Both use hybrid ANC. The Q30 adds selectable modes and has far more user reports behind it, so it is the safer pick for flights and offices. The Bloydek's ANC is claimed but barely reviewed.

Is the Bloydek worth saving the $36?

At $35.99 versus $71.99 on November 3, yes if price is all that matters. The Q30's larger review base, app EQ and multipoint are worth the gap for most people, especially if the Q30 falls back toward $45.

Which lasts longer on a charge?

Bloydek claims 60 hours and the Q30 claims 40. Real-world results vary with ANC and volume, and the Bloydek claim has few independent checks.

Can I use either with two devices at once?

The Q30 supports multipoint. Bloydek does not state multipoint support, so assume one device at a time.

Which is better for travel?

The Bloydek folds, which helps packing. The Q30 does not state a foldable design, so it takes more bag space.

Should I wait for a Q30 price drop?

Its tracked low since November 2 was $44.99, well under the $71.99 listing. If you are not in a hurry, set a price alert.
