soundcore by Anker Space Q45 Adaptive Active Noise Cancelling Headphones, Reduce Noise by Up to 98%, 50H Playtime, App Control, LDAC Hi-Res Wireless Audio, Comfortable Fit, Clear Calls, Bluetooth 5.3

For the price, this is a great headphone. Sound quality is higher than I expected. These are light and the ear pads are comfortable, even with glasses. I really like the multiple Bluetooth connectivity but do wish that I could manually select which input I want. Do note that this headset will okay only one of the connected devices, it does not mix them. Range is great and the battery life is too. The noise cancelling is OK, plenty for my use. The pass-through is good too but not the best. These offer a great mid-to-high resolution but any significant bass will take some of that quality away. I've been wearing them daily for about 6 months for work and have received no complaints over microphone quality or connectivity issues when using the microphone. The value recieved at this price point would be difficult to beat with other options.

Love these headphones! Got them on sale for around $90 as I wanted something to compliment my soundcore open ear headphones and I already trusted the brand. Main points that made me go for these- Battery life: great run time, super quick recharge time as well. And it’s a USB-C like all my other devices. I can wear these for a large portion of my day (even on noise cancelling) as well as at home in the afternoons and still only charge them maybe once a week. And it’s such a low effort charge, as in I can just plug them in at my desk between tasks for whatever amount of time I have available and it’s fine. Maybe it’s been a while since I got new headphones but all the ones I’ve had in the past took HOURS to charge. I don’t think I’ve actually run these to dead yet! Functions: has normal, noise cancelling, and transparency. This is another big plus for me since I work in a shop but also have office time. I like noise cancelling when I’m alone doing office style work, but like transparency if I need to be more aware of my surroundings. Added bonus was that reviews were mixed on the comfort and fit, and at first I was weary of the fit, they are definitely not as snug as other headphones I’ve had in the past. But this has not effected the noise cancelling abilities, and once I figured out the best placement on my head they are surprisingly so light and comfortable that I’ve fallen asleep several times with them on and even waking up at 2 am there’s no discomfort! On the downside, these probably would not work for more rigorous activities, or tasks that involved lots of bending down or picking things up. Range: I can go the whole perimeter of the shop I work at with my phone on my desk and they don’t cut out! Granted there’s no real walls, so this might be different for other people. I don’t have any real con’s just a few things that I’m meh 🤷🏼‍♀️ about. The voice that announces battery life every time you turn it on (because it will auto connect to my audiobooks but the voice talks OVER them so I need to rewind). All the buttons on the right earmuff (left is power and function) I just find I have never needed any of them frequently enough to remember what’s what so they are kind of useless for me. And that when charging I can’t turn them on to use ( which is fine since they recharge super fast). Lastly, I was excited they came with a rigid case. It just wasn’t clear from the description I read if they were coming with a “case” that was just a draw string bag or something more protective, glad it was the latter!

I have owned a few speakers from Soundcore and even before they were known as Soundcore (Anker). The general gist of their brand holds true here: budget conscious products that try to strike a balance between very good and forgettable performance. The same is true for the Q45. These headphones are comfortable enough for a short plane ride but not so comfortable that you’d forget they’re on your head. The battery well above average in my experience but not 50 hours of continuous playback to minimize recharging. The sound quality is good but you aren’t going to experience that immersive soundscape that higher priced and performing headphones offer. They’re lower and punchy bass notes are muffled and sometimes distorted at the highest volumes and the high frequencies are there but don’t give you any shimmer or clear ring in playback. So they’re good, not great headphones. I appreciate a decent ANC option which does do a ln above average job of limiting exterior noise. The ambient mic does its job although I prefer slightly more surrounding environment input/level than what is offered. Compared to my Apple AirPod Pros V2, these lag in overall sound quality but offer more battery on board and perhaps a slightly improved noise cancelling feature. They’re fairly easy to use - nothing is unique or out of place for buttons and placement. And they work with everything I own because they’re typical Bluetooth so they will work with tablets, PCs, smartphones alike and not experience connectivity issues or non-compatible challenges. They’re sort of worth the money but only if you really are trying to watch your spending. I believe you can do better if you shopped around the $200-$250 price point.

Nowadays, I wouldn't buy a pair of bluetooth headphones blindly (or deafly?) online unless it comes with an app that allows you to tweak the sound/EQ. There's no point in spending money on a pair of headphones, only to not like the sound when they arrive. There are 3rd-party EQ phone apps, but those are sometimes dubious, plus they only work with the phone/tablet device being used at the time. It's best to have the native headphone's app do it within the headphones themselves, in which the custom EQ settings travel with the headphones to whatever device/system is being used -- even those without the possibility of EQ apps. So with built-in EQ, you don't have to worry as much about whether the headphones match your preferred sound profile -- at least, to a point, since some things like soundstage and the "feel" of open vs. closed headphones can't be customized, although the "Transparency" app settings sort of emulate the latter a bit, albeit via noise cancellation. These headphones come with a really good app for configuring most things (with one feature request down below*), including the EQ, noise cancelation, volume limiter, firmware updates, etc. You can also configure the headphones to auto-power-off if not in-use after 30/60/90/120 minutes or "never" (default is 60 minutes). The 8-band EQ has a 21 presets (or 22 if you count the "BassUP" on/off toggle on their "sound core Signature" preset), along with allowing to create/save multiple custom EQ profiles. The app finds and connects to the headphones immediately with both my Pixel 7 and Pixel 3 (which I now use as just a tiny tablet, since it only has WiFi). I only have Android phones, so I can't speak for the iPhone app, but I'd guess that it is the same, other than the LDAC stuff (which Apple devices don't support, and will default to AAC). Note that these headphones don't support any aptX protocols, so your options are LDAC/AAC/SBC for Android devices and AAC/SBC for Apple devices (both phones and computers). My computer is an Apple MacBook Air M1, so I can vouch for the AAC connection on that, although when sitting at my computer, I prefer using my wired headphones (Beyerdynamic 880's). But overall, I am liking these Q45's more than my Sennheiser HD 350BT bluetooth headphones. I don't really use noise cancelation, so I can't speak to that in subjective terms, and so keep in mind that my rating does not take into account noise cancellation. But in terms of features, it has a lot of customization, with both traditional NC modes (with five custom levels plus adaptive/automated) as well as separate transparency modes (with five custom levels plus "talk" mode). But even with the NC turned off ("Normal" setting), the headphones actually block-out quite a bit of noise naturally, since they seem to form an almost air-tight suction. The battery seems to last long too. I'm a person that re-charges any device before it goes below 60%, so I can't say how long a full battery drain lasts, but I go quite awhile between charges nonetheless, even using LDAC (which uses more battery). In AAC/SBS mode (not LDAC), probably slightly better than my Sennheiser HD 350BT's, while in LDAC mode, probably a bit worse (but only a bit). For comfort, I find these very comfortable with prolonged use. I just bought a new Pixel 7 phone (w/Android 13), and the bluetooth w/LDAC works extremely well with this phone/headphone combo, with no connectivity issues under reasonable use, even when LDAC is forced to 990kbps. The headphones also connect to the phones fairly quickly. In terms of holding the connection w/LDAC, I live in a two-bedroom apt with each bedroom on opposite ends of the apt, separated by ~20 feet. I put the phone in the furthest corner of one bedroom, shut the door, and walked around the apt: --LDAC @990kbps: It worked fine without any skips up to ~30 feet away and through one wall (including door closed). I didn't start to have skips until going into the other bedroom with its door also closed -- so not until over 30 feet away and through two walls. --LDAC @660kbps: I couldn't break it within my apt. No skips, even in the second bedroom with both bedroom doors closed -- so it still worked at ~35 feet away and through two walls (including both doors closed). --I didn't bother checking 330kbps, since 660kbps worked so well in all my scenarios. --LDAC Best Effort (Adaptive): Same behavior as @660kbps (never breaks/skips), which tells me that Android isn't actually operating at @990kbps (either part of the time or never), even though the Android ADB logs always say @990kbps at initial connection with no subsequent changes. So at least partially, it is operating @660kbps or @330kpbs. But the vagueness of Adaptive LDAC mode isn't the fault of these (or any) headphones -- this is an Android issue. However, the choice to use Adaptive LDAC mode in the first place is controllable, which brings me to my one gripe below... *My one complaint/request for the app is that it could force-customize the LDAC settings. All it allows you to do is enable LDAC (Preferred auto quality) or disable LDAC (Combine audio and connection, which then defaults to AAC). In the Android Developer settings, it always defaults to "Best Effort/Adaptive", which doesn't tell you what it's doing, even in the ADB logs, which only logs 990kbps at first connection, but never logs subsequent adaptive changes. There's a Sony Music Center app that works for some people in forcing the LDAC bit rate mode, but when I tried it, it only worked around 50% of the time on both my Pixel 7 w/Android 13 and Pixel 3 w/Android 12, so I ended-up removing the app. But it apparently works for others, and if Sony can apparently force the LDAC settings within their app, why shouldn't the SoundCore app be able to do it too? I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like the SoundCore app to force-customize the LDAC settings. Ideally, I'd like it to control the actual bit rate mode (ie, explicitly set it to 990kbps or 660kbps), as well as set the sample rate and bit size, since I don't listen to music beyond 44.1kHz/16-bit anyway, and so I also like to down-tune the sample rate/bit size to 44.1kHz/16-bit, to save a bit of phone battery. But at the very least, the app should be able to force-set the main LDAC bit rate setting (990/660/330/adaptive), so we don't have to go into the Android Developer settings every time the headphones re-connect. It's a minor nuisance, but considering that LDAC is a major selling point of the headphones -- you'd think they'd want to allow people to ensure ideal LDAC settings? Regardless, I'd still give these headphones five stars for the price range.

These headphones very comfortably on my head and over my ears. The sound quality is insanely crisp and clear, with great bass. I love how you can switch the sound setting using the app and how u can connect 2 devices at once. Very easy to set up, the battery life is great. 10/10

I got these for my son who has sensory issues with loud noises at school. I myself started using them on my laptop, I have to say they are amazing! I’m very picky about sound quality, in my car I have Bose and for earbuds I’ve only ever used Apple products again because of their sound quality. I did a lot of research for noise canceling headphones. These go over your entire ear, so they are not suitable for the gym. (I wish they were). The only issue is the buttons on the headset, would be nice if the turn on, pair button had some texture to it so you could find it while wearing them, I put a dab of acrylic paint just to be able to find it faster. When you’re playing music with the noise canceling on you really don’t hear any background noise. They are a little pricey but well worth it.

Excessive commuter here! I'm making an honest and raw review as someone who is an audiophile as well as a New Yorker— which means I commute a lot and watch/listen to a lot. I have been on a quest for the "best" headphones to suit my needs for a few years now. I have found that soundcore does truly make great products, and I also have the Q30 at home which was my first pair (they're great). However I graduated from them and decided "hey! Why not buy from the same brand if I like it, since they've made a newer, upgraded version of something I already like." Here is the thing: 1. Yes, sound quality has improved, became clearer, and there is a bass boost option 2. Yes the noise cancelling has improved 3. The design looks sleek, new ear muffs with harder foam, same good travel case and fast charging. My issues: the Q45 feel larger, which I hoped meant better ear coverage.. but for me, it means they don't sit snugly even with a beanie. I can feel the sound leaking out, even with the new memory foam cups, a shame. The head band feels too loose on my head even when on the shortest setting. As for the settings on the app, I see they are changed to a scale. Although it seems helpful, I don't feel the difference between 3,4,and 5. Womp. Every day I'm on the train for over 2 hours and I hope to NOT hear the obnoxious sound of the doors opening and closing or loud ass people conversing or yelling (why I chose to update from Q30 to Q45). Unfortunately, the Q45 does not provide me with that ultimate 98% noise cancelling they promised. I can still hear the train pretty permanently when I'm listening to music at a comfortable volume and no, I don't listen to my music in 100% volume because that's harmful and I don't recommend anyone does. Maybe it's the frequencies but surely they've improved their detection, no? My final rating is 3.5/5 and I really wish it met more of my expectations so I wouldn't have to return them, but it's no use to keep something if it isn't doing what I needed it to do, which is noise cancel and sit snugly. So I'll continue to use my Q30 meanwhile, even if the fake leather has already worn out.

I have had these for a few months now and would like to share a few thoughts on my experience with them. I was using and enjoying the Soundcore Q30s and had read some positive and mixed reviews on the Q45s so I was curious and wanted to find out what an upgrade from the same company would sound like. Spoiler alert ...Yes I do recommend with a couple of caveats. The Q30s kinda blew me away when i first heard them and i expected a lot from the Q45s. I was at first not impressed. Like.. Where's the bass? EQing did not seem to help the bass much and like some reviewers, i felt the highs could be too sharp and bitey. I considered immediately returning them yet got too busy with other things and that window passed. I did continue to use them and compare with the Q30s and did notice they were very clear and I could hear mids and highs i could not with the Q30s. Now I am glad I kept them. So what changed? Well, I feel the bass has gotten better after a couple 3 months. A lot better. I now know why many reviews on these were so ho hum. According to Soundcore, their drivers are made of a different material. Apparently, they, IMO, require burn in time. I think most reviewers dont have the required time to take with them for the drivers to open up or even EQ them. Which is why you must always take product reviews with a grain of salt. Anyway the bass and subbass have greatly improved, being much tighter and less muddy than the Q30s ,yet they do not overpower the mids and highs. The highs have seemed to have become less bitey as well. They are also more comfortable than the Q30s with better cushioning. So are they the best sounding headphones I have tried? No, but i think they get fairly close. More on that later. They are also not vey attractive IMO and are kinda huge looking with the can on can thing going on. I bought the blue because it was different and now i think I would go with the black so as to look a little smaller and less nerdy. They are not super light either so i would not recommend for the gym or running,. However, if you do not mind the burn in time required for the bass to improve and dont mind spending a few minutes EQing them to tune them , I do highly recommend! ......Update.... Something had been bothering me about these headphones. In particular, I would read the occasional review where they would talk about enabling LDAC. I finally realized I had never been prompted or even seen any LDAC option. LDAC is supposedly a big selling point on these headphones. Not one for allways reading directions, I had assumed it was an automatic default kinda thing. Well,after going back into the Soundcore app. I finally found out why I had never seen it. It is like hidden almost under the settings cogwheel icon and, even though I was shown as having been up to date, it requires its own seperate download to even enable the button. Man, to think I have been listening to these for months without even knowing I was going without it. Turns out I have been really missing out. Don't let anyone or any AI-written article tell you it is hardly noticable or whatever. It makes a difference! It makes the music sound a bit more live. It allows you to hear the breathiness and a lot of other details in the music. Without adding volume or distortion. It really puts these on a whole different level than without the LDAC enabled. I really am embarrassed I just found this out. How many people have bought these and returned them without ever knowing they can sound better? Now they sound, to my ears, almost as good as the newer Beats premium cans ( which are excellent IMO). More on those later... You will also want to make sure your'e music streaming is set to highest quality and ignore any warnings about data limitations or whatnot in the app.! I pay for Spotify Premium and I had to go through the menu tools and change them. So now I'll give a quick word on how the Q45s compare to a couple other cans I have owned or tried. ---- Beats Studio Pro-- I purchased the Beats thinking they had an app. EQ I could configure. They, of course do not have one. I was planning on returning them when I realized this. After listening to them a couple days I realized I really liked their sound signature. They sound sooo bright. Way more bright than I thought I would care for. Their sound engineers worked some magic on them. I am very sensitive to 8K fingernail on chalkboard distortion that usually comes with overly bright treble and these got none of that. I allways considered myself somewhat of a basehead before but not anymore! The lack of an app. also makes them great for non-technical people who don't want to have to spend time configuring them. They sound great right out of the gate. Bass is excellent. You just have to turn the up a little past medium for it to really kick in. To be sonically perfect I think they do need a bass-up button for lower volumes. It is in the comfort area that they fall short. Think...vice grips for the head. I can only wear for about an hour at a time. That said, I think one would get used to them if they were you're only pair. The Q45s are way more comfortable while ,now with the LDAC, are close to being on par with them in sound quality. IMO. ...Update... O.k. After doing a lot of a-b listening of the studio pro with the Q45s I gotta admit the Beats are on a bit of a different level. They are just so ultra lively and clear. Like you are the 1st or second row away from the stage whereas the Soundcore are just a few more rows away. They do this all while using the inferior SBC codec which makes me think Spotify, even at its highest streaming level, is still not good enough quality to take advantage of LDAC. Still the Soundcore are close and I think get just a hair closer when I use the wired connection. And ,of course, they are half the cost. Important Update...ok so a few months ago was getting serious listening fatigue with these and had no idea why. My ears became so sensitive to sibilance of some kind on these even with the decay from deep base. Luckily I still had the Q30s and Beats to compare. After a lot of AB comparison I remembered reviews from various sources ,(that did not rate them so highly),mentioning uneven treble response. After looking at response graphs on these I finally figured out why these were creating such listening fatigue. They have a severe treble spike in the lower treble region that had been very hard to pinpoint until my ears finally said enough! I think it is around 4-6-8 k. (I have since sold). Being somewhat new to the headphone scene I apparently had to learn a very important lesson about sibilance. This type was so sneaky since it was masked by the fact that ,like the Q30s, they are very dynamic sounding headphones and for me were otherwise close to perfect. So now I know why Soundcore put out the Q35s. Unfortunately I think a lot of people who buy the Q45s will never know why they just won't want to listen to these very long and, like me, will not know why. They may think they just can't find the right music and are just getting older and volume sensitive when ,in fact they are just being assaulted by that treble spike. If you have purchased these please go in the Soundcore app to the custom eq and dial back that specific treble spike! After proper eq adjustment they improved and became listenable again but the damage was done. I just could not enjoy anymore. If you are considering purchasing I highly recommend going for a newer and different model with a smoother treble response. I am also very disappointed that Soundcore would ever let these go out the door without fixing. I would have thought that reviewers (who obviously rely on freebie merch to review) would have come out and explained what uneven treble response really means and how it can cause sneaky sibilance that over time can ruin the ability to enjoy the music. So I am lowering my rating to 2 stars. I should also mention as I was checking my phone sound settings I realized my phone bluetooth setting for my Q30s was set to the lower quality SBC instead of AAC so they sound better than ever.

Son buenos, tienen buena calidad de sonido, y no se siente frágiles. El rango de conectividad es muy bueno, unos 5 a 6 metros sin detalle. Por su parte, la cancelación de ruido es muy buena, sirve sin necesidad de escuchar música. El rango de volumen de las canciones puede varias, pero esto se debe muchas veces a la calidad de la canción que estás escuchando, aunque di diría que se queda un poco corto, pero con la cancelación de ruido compensa. No he tenido tema con la aplicación, es buena, me gustó qué puedes generar tu propia "optimización", la batería le dura semanas, pero usándola de 2 a 3 horas diario. Yo los ocupo para el gym, por lo que a veces pueden resultar un poco calurosos, pero el ruido exterior lo oculta muy bien. Son buena calidad-precio, pague 1700, por un producto que se siente premium

Bra ljud, och helt ok anc, jobbar i maskinverkstad och dom tar bort mycket oljud.

G'day, mate! Let's crack open a cold one and have a yarn about the Anker Soundcore Space Q45, eh? This little ripper of a headset is a fair dinkum choice for anyone keen on some top-notch noise canceling without breaking the bank. With a price tag of under $150 USD, it's a real bargain, I tell ya! Now, let's chuck a squiz at what makes these earbuds fair dinkum. First off, they're built sturdy as a roo's backbone, so you won't have to worry about 'em carking it on ya after a few tumbles. The pleather padding makes 'em comfy as a koala in a gum tree, but they can get a bit sweaty if you're out and about on a scorcher of a day. The controls are as easy as pie, with buttons on both sides of the headset for playin' tunes, adjustin' the volume, and flickin' the ANC on and off. Plus, they fold up real neat for chuckin' in the case when you're done. Now, I won't beat around the bush – the Soundcore app is a bit dodgy, but it does the job if you wanna tweak the settings. Bluetooth-wise, these babies come with all the bells and whistles, including Bluetooth 5.3 and support for AAC, SBC, and LDAC codecs. Pairin' 'em up is as easy as chuckin' a snag on the barbie – just hold down the power button and you're away laughing. And when it comes to battery life, these blokes are as reliable as an old ute. Anker reckons you'll get a solid 65 hours with ANC off and 50 hours with it on, but in me own tests, they went even longer! Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room – sound quality. Look, they're not gonna blow your socks off like a concert at the Sydney Opera House, but they'll do the job for most listeners. The bass is a bit punchy, the mids are middlin', and the highs can get a bit tinny at times. But hey, if you're not fussy, they'll do ya just fine. Now, here's the real surprise – the microphone is a bloody ripper! Most headphones in this price range sound like you're shoutin' into a tin can, but the Space Q45's mic does a fair dinkum job of cuttin' out background noise. So if you're spendin' your days on conference calls or chattin' with mates, you'll sound as clear as a bell. So, should you chuck a few bob at the Anker Soundcore Space Q45? Well, if you're after a solid pair of ANC headphones that won't break the bank, then yeah, these are the droids you're lookin' for. Sure, they might not have the fanciest sound quality, but for the price, you can't go wrong. Just don't expect 'em to rival the big boys like Sony or Bose. So there ya have it, folks – the Anker Soundcore Space Q45. A fair dinkum pair of headphones that'll do ya proud without emptyin' your wallet. Cheers, mate!
