Our take on the Anker Soundcore Life Q20 Over-Ear Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Headphones
The Soundcore Life Q20 is Anker's budget over-ear Bluetooth headphone with active noise cancellation, a 40mm driver tuned for bass, and a long battery rating. It suits commuters, students and frequent flyers who want ANC without spending flagship money. Against pricier rivals like the Sony WH-CH720N or Bose QuietComfort, its noise cancellation is milder and its build is mostly plastic, but owners consistently praise its battery life and comfort for the money.
- Active noise cancellation cuts steady low-frequency noise like engine drone
- Very long battery life, with ANC off lasting far longer than with it on
- Lightweight over-ear fit with soft memory-foam earcups
- Bass-heavy tuning that suits pop, hip-hop and podcasts
- Folds flat for storage and comes with a travel pouch

Reviewers and owners generally rate the Life Q20 as strong value for budget ANC headphones, praising battery life and comfort while noting the noise cancellation is modest and the sound leans bassy.

Questions and answers
- How good is the noise cancellation on the Life Q20?
- It handles steady low sounds like plane engines and fans well. It is much less effective on voices and high-pitched noise than premium ANC headphones.
- How long does the battery last?
- Anker rates it for about 40 hours with ANC on and around 60 hours with ANC off. Real-world use with ANC on typically lasts several days of commuting.
- Can I use it wired?
- Yes. A 3.5mm cable is included, so it works passively when the battery is empty or on flights without Bluetooth.
- Does it have an app with EQ?
- No. This model has no companion app, so there is no custom EQ or adjustable ANC level. The tuning is fixed and bass-forward.
- Is it good for calls and video meetings?
- It is fine for occasional calls, but the microphone picks up background noise. For frequent meetings, a headset with a boom mic is better.
- How does it compare with the Sony WH-CH720N?
- The Sony is lighter with app EQ and better call clarity. The Life Q20 counters with longer battery life and a more bass-heavy sound for casual listening.
