Which has better noise cancellation?

The soundcore Q30. Its hybrid ANC cuts up to 95% of low-frequency sound and offers Transport, Outdoor and Indoor modes. The Sony uses Dual Noise Sensor technology but has no selectable modes.

Which is better for long flights?

The Q30, thanks to stronger ANC and a travel case. The Sony is lighter at 192 g, which some people prefer on very long wear.

Is the Sony worth the extra money?

Only if weight and Sony's app matter to you. At $88.00 at Focus Camera versus $71.99 at Walmart for the Q30 as of November 3, 2026, the Q30 gives more features for less.

Which has longer battery life?

They tie at 50 hours with ANC on. The Q30 reaches up to 70 hours with ANC off, and a 5-minute charge gives 4 hours.

Do both connect to two devices at once?

Yes. Both support Bluetooth multipoint, so you can stay connected to a phone and a laptop together.

Which is better for calls?

The Sony is the safer pick. The Q30's call noise reduction is weak, so your voice can be harder to hear in noisy places.
