Our take on the Anker Soundcore Life Q20 Noise Cancelling Headphones

The Anker Soundcore Life Q20 is an over-ear Bluetooth headphone with hybrid active noise cancellation, 40 mm drivers, and a BassUp mode that boosts low end in real time. Battery life is the headline: up to 60 hours with ANC off and 40 hours with ANC on, plus a 5-minute charge for about 4 hours of listening. It also has a transparency mode and a wired AUX option for flights. The latest best price is $59.99 at Amazon as of November 3, near the low end of its recent range, which has run roughly $50 to $80.

Questions and answers

Is the Soundcore Life Q20 worth it?
Yes, if you want cheap noise cancellation and long battery life. At $59.99 at Amazon as of November 3, it is one of the better budget ANC headphones, but it will not match $300 models for sound clarity or noise blocking.
How does the Life Q20 compare with the newer Q30?
The Q30 adds app-based EQ, multipoint pairing and a slightly more refined sound, but costs more. The Q20 wins on battery life and price if those matter most.
How long does the battery last?
Up to 60 hours with ANC off and 40 hours with ANC on. A 5-minute charge gives about 4 hours of listening.
Can I use it wired on a plane?
Yes. An AUX cable is included, so you can plug into in-flight entertainment even if the battery is empty.
What is in the box?
The headphones, a USB-C charging cable, an AUX cable and a travel pouch.
When is it cheapest?
It has sold around $50 during Black Friday and Prime Day sales. The current $59.99 at Amazon as of November 3 is close to that low.
