Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Pros: great battery life, low price Cons: noise cancellation is decent but not great, ear cups trap heat I fly a few times a year and commute ok public transit most days. I have a nice pair of IEMs that I use for long haul flights but prefer wireless headphones for my regular commute. These headphones do a decent job reducing train & ambient noise but you can still hear the outside world (it's a good amount quieter, but definitely still there). Another minor issue with these - when I wear these headphones for more than 2 hours at a time, my ears get a little sweaty. This isn't a problem on airplanes (because it tends to be so cold) but out and about I did notice it. On flights my in ear monitors do a better job blocking out the engine noise and are much better at blocking out voices (especially crying infants, which the soundcore Q20 isn't great at blocking). Still, the Q20 is good enough that it's going to replace my expensive IEMs on shorter flights. Battery life is probably the strongest argument in favor of the Q20 - I've been using them for my daily commute + a roundtrip flight over the last 2 weeks and still am going off the initial charge. I've never owned wireless headphones with such good battery life. Overall given the $50-60 price point, sound quality is slightly better than I expected, noise cancelling is decent but not great, and battery life has really impressed me. If you're looking for quiet on long flights this probably isn't your best bet, but for daily use and the occasional <4 hour flight, these are great.
