Anker Soundcore Q20i Plus vs Samson SR850

These are different tools. The Soundcore Q20i is a wireless, noise-cancelling everyday headphone for commuting, calls and travel. The Samson SR850 is a wired, open-back studio headphone for mixing, monitoring and gaming at a desk. Buy the Q20i if you want one headphone for the day; buy the SR850 if you want accurate sound on a cable and don't need isolation. Owners of the SR850 praise its open, detailed sound for the money; Q20i owners like the ANC and battery life but call the sound bass-forward.

• Choose the Soundcore Q20i if you want wireless Bluetooth, active noise cancelling, a built-in mic and long battery life for commuting, calls and travel.
• Choose the Samson SR850 if you listen or mix at a desk and want wired, open-back sound with a wide soundstage and no charging.
