This is them after almost 5 years of consistent use. I wrapped the headband in yarn last year due to normal wear, and I replaced the earcups for the same reason (cost like 8 bucks). But the sound is as crisp as ever, the noise canceling has not failed, and I’ve never had any issues with connection. They are comfortable, adjustable and the buttons still work perfectly. I love these headphones. I think choosing the gray makes it a bit easier to find replacement parts overtime. These are long haul headphones. Battery life is still fantastic, and I binge audiobooks. I’ll buy these same ones or at least the same brand again whenever the pair I’m still using finally go out. You get way more than the price suggests. These are both quality and budget friendly.

(Update 9/9: last night I was enjoying a podcast on these, and they were working great as usual. Suddenly, I heard a weird burst of static in my left ear. I turned the volume on my phone down, thinking it may have been coming from there. There was another burst of static. Hmm. I did a full restart on my iPhone 14 Plus, and on the headphones. More static. Oh no... I called Amazon, and they were great as always about arranging a return. This morning, I tried the Q20s again. No static. None. I called Anker and was on hold for awhile- about 20 minutes- but when I did get through, remarkably, *it was to a live human being*, and this human being was knowledgable, and took the time to answer all of my questions. Remarkably, he also did not try to sell me their priciest (and newest) pair of headphones, the Space 1s. He suggested, in fact, after listening to what I am wanting in a pair of headphones- decent sound, decent volume, good noise cancelling- that I get another pair of Q20s. Our conversation took place over the Q20 headphones. (By the way- not a nanosecond of static. And none since.) He also explained the Anker warranty. Any time any Anker product is purchased via Amazon, the warranty is immediately activated. You don't need to call Anker, send anything in, go online- nothing. The warranty starts as soon as your purchase is made. The warranty covers 18 months of product life. I am still considering purchasing the three year warranty offered by Amazon on top of that, as with my luck, the plastic "headband" (the crescent shaped piece of adjustable plastic that goes over your head) will disintegrate on day one of the 19th month. I was really impressed by the customer service I received throughout this phone call, and *really* appreciated that a live human being took my call. He was easy to understand, and obviously well-versed on his company's products. And also he didn't try to sell me ten things, or get me to sign up for anything or download anything. I am finding that this kind of service is becoming very rare these days. I do think I am going to purchase another pair of Q20s, as I really do like them. So far, they have shown zero sign of the ear cups separating or the plastic weakening or any part of them becoming compromised at all. And no more static in the left ear. Why did that happen- I'll never know, I suppose. But it is good to know that Anker stands behind their products, AND that a person actually answers the phone when you call. (Can you imagine?). I have had to deal with the "customer service" agents when I finally got through at Sony and that experience, sadly, convinced me to never purchase anything manufactured by Sony again. This experience with Anker, even though it did involve discussing a seemingly one-time malfunction in my headphones, has made a loyal customer out of me. Will update after the second pair of Ankers. Thank you!) I share a wall with my next door neighbor. Luckily, there is no one on the other side of me. There has never been an issue with the tenants in this unit making any kind of noise, and I have lived in my apartment since 2016. If you were in my apartment, you wouldn't even know anyone lived next door. Everything had been nice and tranquil as far as that apartment was concerned, for years. That is, until recently. Ever experienced the joys of getting unwillingly serenaded by someone's throbbing subwoofer? The thing about being subjected to a stereo with a subwoofer going, is that the music might be barely audible, but you can *feel* the bass notes physically, especially if the stereo and subwoofer are physically nearby. And that is what is happening to me, right now. There are constant bass throbbings coming through the wall, coming from the apartment that had for so long been perfectly quiet. The music itself really isn't loud enough to be a nuisance. But the low frequency pulsations of the bass certainly *are* a nuisance. Apparently, the woman who owns that apartment has turned it over to her kids for who knows how long. Her kids are in their early 20s. Their stereo is never off, so their subwoofer is never off. I tried asking them to please realize they have neighbors, and their subwoofer is bothering their neighbors, and could they *please* limit the hours when they play their stereo. They just snarled something, and slammed the door in my face. They then started playing their stereo louder- not a lot louder, but noticeably louder. I next requested that the building Super speak to them. He did. They turned their stereo off for a few moments, after he spoke with them. I then heard the sound of something heavy being hurled against our mutual wall. Then, the stereo started up again. It was playing at a slightly lower volume. But the bass was still vibrating the wall. There had been an issue, several years ago, with problem tenants right above me, who REALLY blasted their stereo with their powerful subwoofer at all hours. They were also selling drugs, and a stream of "America's Most Wanted" types were coming and going also at all hours. They used the back parking lot as a stolen car storage lot. Their "guests" started fires in the garbage cans in the lobby, after nodding out and dropping lit cigarettes into them, as they sat in the chairs out there. You don't want to know what they were doing in the laundry room. The list of their unpleasantness goes on and on. This went on for seven years. The HOA here did nothing about them. Nothing. None of the HOA members lived in this state, so all they did was collect our money, and ignore our phone calls and emails about these nuisance, and dangerous, tenants. During this time, I developed PTSD, which was diagnosed by a psychiatrist, along with anxiety disorder and chronic depression. I rarely slept, and could barely function at my jobs. Finally, after seven years, there was a change in HOA personnel. Eventually, the problem tenants were evicted. I could hardly believe how peaceful it then became here. Thinking they would have my back, I emailed the current HOA regarding the current situation with the eternally pulsating stereo. I had recently noticed some "please be courteous to other tenants, and keep your noise down between 10pm and 8am" hand written notices posted around the lobby and in the hallways. I don't know if they are aimed at these particular tenants, but it seems as if this building again has some residents who are inspiring complaints. The HOA told me, basically, that I was on my own. The HOA just told me to keep “negotiating” with the neighbors, who had already demonstrated they could care less if they are bothering me. I will be checking on legal representation this following week, as I am disabled, and my disability was caused in part by the constant unpleasant behavior I was subjected to by the tenants upstairs when the HOA did nothing years ago for so long, though I emailed and called them about their activities, which clearly were in violation of the HOA bylaws, over and over again. It looks like I have another situation like that on my hands again. However! I thought- what can I do that can help me right now? I typed "sound canceling wireless headphones" into the Amazon search bar, and found a lot of choices. Most of the results were far beyond my means, as I am on a fixed income, and it is also the end of the month. But the constant throbbing of the bass right into my physical form through my bedroom wall was starting to literally make me sick. Google the effects that constant low frequency sounds- even when these sounds are not audible- have on the human body. These kind of sound waves are not good for human health, especially in the long term. Needless to say, I felt very vindicated after reading the findings of these scientific studies. The reviews for the Soundcore Anker Life Q20 headphones were predominantly positive. The review that really encouraged me to go for it was the one mentioning the work colleagues who seemed to possess no indoor voices, and who constantly and loudly discussed basketball results et al at the top of their lungs without a care as to who they might be bothering with the volume of their voices. I could totally relate to that story. I used to work in a call center, where you made your living by being on the phone, so you needed to be heard by clients, and you needed to hear who you were talking to. This call center had an open floor plan, so we were in low-walled cubicles, but if someone stood up and shouted, even if they were on the other side of the room, you would hear them clearly from where you were. I found that I was surrounded by the kind of people who thought that yelling across the work floor to a distant friend about the softball game their kid had played the previous evening, while they were standing basically right next to me while I was on a call, was perfectly ok. These people weren’t adults. They were like giant toddlers, with no filter. Many of them were in their late forties and early fifties. When I later would ask them- politely- to be more cognizant of their volume level of their voice, as I was attempting to do my job, they became outraged. The nerve of me, to attempt to request they be considerate of their co-workers! Lol. So reading that these headphones had helped in that situation (I wish I had had them when I had been working at the call center) right then and there I thought that's it- I am ordering these headphones, and right now. And I am so glad I did! I was happily surprised, as they are not expensive headphones, at their ability to block out ambient sound. I usually run a white noise soundtrack in the background when I am home. I had turned it on automatically this morning, and started answering my emails. I hadn't realized I had boosted the volume on the white noise a bit too much, as I had put on and fired up my new Anker headphones before switching on the receiver. I took the headphones off for a moment to adjust my hair at one point, and was amazed, as the white noise was playing far too loudly- far louder than I would ever play it. Had I been using my regular J Lab wireless earbuds, I would have heard that it had been turned up too much right away. I actually dashed into my bedroom to turn down the receiver, as I felt bad for MY neighbors! As far as the subwoofer- so far, I (knock wood) haven't been able to hear it. At all. I have had the headphones and the white noise going in my bedroom, and I took a break from my work (I work from home) after lunch to read ,and hang out with the kitties. I didn't hear any boom boom boom at all. I had heard them playing the stereo earlier, when I had been wearing my regular earbuds, so I am happy to report that these Anker headphones really appear to be helping. The headphones were delivered this morning, so I can't attest as to their long-term performance, or their performance under various conditions (if they turned up their stereo up extra loud, my wearing the headphones without the white noise running, etc.) but so far, I am VERY satisfied with their performance. I was shocked at how fast they charged, and I have been wearing them for hours, yet they are still showing a full charge. They are comfortable to wear. I have a regular sized head, and I am picky about over the ear headphones. A lot of them give me a headache: these, so far, have not. They are nice and snug, so they keep the ambient noise out, but are not excessively tight. I actually fell asleep during my after lunch break hanging out with the cats, which is unusual for me to do with over the ear headphones. Cons: the instructions for the controls for the headphones are rendered in a “cartoon” style, so that was a bit odd, but not too difficult to figure out. The max volume is pretty good, and I like my headphones to get loud. I don't usually listen to music on headphones. There is a "bass boost" feature (a hard to understand voice sort of croaks "bass up" when you push the button with the triangle on it between the up/down volume buttons, and "normal"- I think that's what it says- when you turn the extra bass off) but this feature doesn't seen to make a huge difference. It does make voices sound richer and fuller. --Ok- I just tested the headphones with music. I chose to play "Wardance" by Killing Joke, as I know that song well, and yes, the "bass up" feature does make a noticeable difference. But as far as music goes- these headphones, for an old punk like me, would need to get a LOT louder, when playing music, for my taste. But that is a subjective thing, and I really didn't buy them to play music, but to listen to podcasts and to watch movies and YouTube stuff, and of course to block out that *&^%$!! subwoofer. I've only had one phone call while wearing the headphones. I wasn't crazy about how the other person sounded- they sounded kind of "tinny," and distant- but according to them, they could hear me clearly. So I guess they work fine there, too. —EDIT: I have taken other phone calls with these headphones on after that one initial call. The voice on the the other end at the beginning of the call was a bit crackly, but this happens often with my carrier. After a few moments on the call, I could hear the caller perfectly. I make and receive calls with these Anker headphones all the time now. I always begin the call by saying “I’m wearing a new headset- I just want to make sure- can you hear me ok?” I am always assured that I can be heard just fine. A friend of mine, who is used to my cheaper earbuds on our calls, has told me repeatedly that my voice sounds much clearer on our calls with these headphones. PROS: these headphones are the fastest charging electrical anything I have ever owned- period. It's actually kind of freaky how fast these things charge. It's great. They also hold a charge the longest amount of time of any electrical thing I've ever owned. I wore them all night to block out the thump thump of the subwoofer and, after six or seven hours of sleeping, I checked their charge level on my iPhone. Their battery level was still showing as a solid green circle meaning- they were still at, or nearly at, 100% charge. That's impressive. One of the reviews mentioned these headphones don't come with an ON/OFF switch. They do. Left and Right headphone ear cup side orientations are marked inside the ear cups with an "L" and an "R." The power switch is on the Left side cup, right above the "NC" (noise canceling) switch, which I always leave switched on. Volume Up and Down, and the triangle-marked button, the Bass up or down switch, are located on the Right side cup. Their Noise Canceling capability is VERY impressive, given their low price point. There are times when I can *just barely* hear the bass from next door. But really- it's negligible, compared to what it was. I'm also going to take some other steps to help deal with this situation, but until then, these headphones have given me back the ability to have some nice, unbroken sleep, which is worth its weight in gold. I will update my review if something drastically changes regarding the performance these headphones. But right now- I am really happy I ordered these. I placed my order around midnight, and Amazon got them to me at around noon the next day. I'm really glad of this, as not having to endure that subwoofer- let's just say these headphones arrived just in time to save my last nerve. I am happy with the purchase of these headphones, and highly recommend them. Thank you.

Updated Review: since my first review the manufacturer reached out and let me know that the issue I ran into was uncommon and provided me with a free replacement. I must commend this level of customer service because honestly, I didn’t even anticipate them reading my review let alone reaching out. My original pair must have been fairly old when I bought it because it used a completely different charging cable that the replacement one. However the issue of the cable and headphone requiring some force to detach remains which leaves me concerned that my original problem will return some day. The older version of the headphones had a Siri-esque voice alert you to the buttons you were pressing, “Power On” “Battery High.” “Noise-Cancelling, Off” that sort of thing. This has been replaced with a series of chimes. I’m still not sure exactly what the chimes represent but my muscle memory has kept me going so far. For everything else these are exactly the same as I remember. The sound quality is good, the noise cancelling is good, they are comfortable to wear, the fold up nicely to be packed for travel. The newer headphones seem slightly smarter as well. I switch between listening to music on my phone while walking to watching shows on my iPad at home. Originally I had to manually swap from one to the other but now the headphones seem to detect which of the two is actively playing and automatically attaches to that one which I greatly appreciate. Although I have yet to test what it does if I play them both simultaneously. All in all, they remain good headphones, if a bit pricey, with a seemingly very attentive company behind them. Just be gentle when taking them off the charger. Original Review: First off I feel the need to say that I bought my pair of headphones about a year ago now. At the time these were $20 and they’ve lasted me until just recently. During that year, they have been fantastic, the battery life is genuinely impressive with me taking them on several hour long train rides and only ever hearing “Battery Medium” a handful of times. The sound quality is very good although I am a total layperson in that field. The noise cancelling can actually be a bit strong and I often turned it off when going for walks so I could still hear a bit of what was happening around me. They fit perfectly and I never felt any discomfort wearing them. So why is this review only 3 stars? I recently have been wearing them more than usual and I started noticing that I’d put them on for the first time after charging them overnight and find they were at medium battery. I troubleshot why that was the case and it turns out the port that connects the charging cable to the headphones is either too small, or not connected well enough. When you buy these you will notice that it takes some effort to plug them into, and take them off, their charging cable. I originally thought that was nice because it assured me they would stay connect. I now realize that it came at a cost, every time you unplug you gradually rip the port inside the headphones out until eventually it is so loose it can no longer charge the headphones. That’s what’s happened to me, the headphones work perfectly but they went from charging slowly, to charging intermittently, to requiring 10-15 minutes of fuss to charge at all to now finally, I’m not sure they’ll ever charge again. If these were still $20 I’d give them four stars but they aren’t. These are now $50 and if you are going to pay that price you should get more than a year out of the headphones, especially considering the quality of everything else. You shouldn’t have to fear that by charging the battery you are slowly killing the product but unfortunately here we are. Enjoy them while you can because some day, that port will jiggle a little bit too much and they’ll be gone forever.

I’m not an audiophile by any means and am in no way an expert on sound, but here’s my review: My sister got these amazing headphones as a present from her boyfriend, Bose noise canceling 700 I think they’re called. Anyways, the second she let me listen to a song on em I was hooked and wanted my own pair. Only thing about that is they go for $379 usually, and I’m a broke college student. So ever since then I’ve been on a quest to find something at least comparable to hers in terms of sound quality, noise cancelling, and bass clarity. This is THE closest thing I’ve found, and I mean they’re nearly identical, and for way less money too. Lemme list out pros and cons Pros: - super comfy: headphones have a tendency to hurt my ears after awhile cause I wear them 24/7, however, no problems with this one, cups are super soft and extra padded, majorly high quality especially for price point - noise cancelling: I used to have second gen AirPods before they broke randomly, and these outperform them in this regard 1000%. They have *slightly* less ANC than the Bose ones my sisters got but I mean it’s barely noticeable and again, not to sound like a broken record, but that price is crazy amazing. - sound/bass quality: Another category that imo these headphones outperform the headphones in by far, and are damn near the same as the Bose’s to be honest (at least, when I have the bass boosted on these they are). Bose has slightly more bass, but the overall sound quality is SO crisp and clear it’s absolutely gorgeous, I feel like I’m in a music video when I have these on. - charge: they last so long without another charge I’m truly convinced that it’s longer than 40 hours even though I strictly use em as Bluetooth headphones. - look: the look is very sleek without looking excessively minimalist like some more expensive pairs do (definitely beats Bose but that’s a very personal opinion). And I adore how the cups rotate!!! It makes hugging people when they’re around my neck a lot more comfy for both parties, and overall makes them look better when you don’t actively have them on your ears. (I’m sure there’s more utility to this feature but again, not a professional in any capacity so this is like a layman’s review of the product). Also its a really good design for putting decor on, i have mine decked out with Hangyodon stickers and i love it. Cons: - ringing: basically when you have the ANC on and aren’t actively listening to music/audiobooks/whatever it’ll kinda give you a headache with how much ringing is going on as the headphones try to counteract the frequencies of the outside world with their own. However, I don’t run into this issue at all when listening to any degree of audio, I’m really just picking it apart as best I can hear. TL;DR: BUY THEM THEYRE SUPER GOOD AND YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!!!!!!

First off, this is not a comparison between the Anker Soundcore Q20s and any product from Bose or Sony.. That is an unfair comparison as they are not even in the same ball park.. I know that most people want to get an understanding of how comparable they are to those but if you aren't willing to spend the money on those, you aren't going to get near what they offer.. That being said, for this price range these are the best hands down.. One hit KO.. I'll list all the features separately so they are easy to find and read about. Active Noise Cancellation: Let me get some things out of the way, I work at a gas plant in a landfill as IT and Data Reporting.. My job is noisy sometimes.. I hear a constant hum from the motors in the plant right outside my door all day long.. I also travel a lot from the various plants we run.. While ANC is on these headphones won't block out immediate talking next to me or sudden loud noises, but they do block out the noise from the plant.. That is without the music.. I do need to point out that the talking is trying to talk over motors so it's louder than your average office space. When the music is on and running, it adds a whole separate layer to the cancellation as I can no longer hear anything else.. Sound: I don't typically have music up loud, most I've turned them up to is 50% because I've been rough on my ear drums since I was a kid playing drums at a young age.. As I've gotten older I've been more prone to try and protect my ears.. That being said, the sound quality is very nice with or without ANC engaged.. I find it's way more enjoyable with ANC on due to everything else being tuned out.. Some headphones will warp the sound when ANC is turned on, these do not.. The sound is as impressive with the feature on as it is off.. This is incredible.. I listen to a range of music from Rap and Hip-Hop to Metal and Hard Rock and they all sound clear and precise in these headphones.. They do have a bass-up feature that increases the bass a little more.. This works well without muddying the sound quality too much.. I imagine if you increase the volume too much it might diminish but from my listening around the 50% max it's been outstanding.. Bass gains can be a real hit and miss for me as some lose sound quality.. With these that's not the case.. Quality: The headphones feel amazing.. They have a nice weight to them (which is not for everyone). I personally like a little weight to my equipment.. It is sturdy and feels solid.. I was afraid of it feeling a little too plastic like but they really don't.. Now they aren't as nice as your $200-$300 headphone, but again, their price range they are amazing quality.. The ear cups are very comfortable and soft memory foam.. I was actually surprised that my ears don't get as hot as normal.. They will overtime due to the design.. It's impossible to get around since it traps heat, but these seem like they don't get as warm as fast.. Also the ear cups feel amazing.. I've literally worn them all day yesterday and felt no ear fatigue or strain.. This is a solid! Functionality: A feature that isn't talked about a lot with these is the awesome ability to connect to not just one but two devices simultaneously.. Now a note on that: You cannot listen to two devices at the same time.. What is going on is I'm able to connect to my computer and listen to music on it while being connect to my phone at the same time.. When someone calls me and I answer, it swaps input to my iPhone and stops playing the music in my ears.. Once the call is finished, it swaps back to my computer and I resume listening.. This is an amazing feature that I use daily! Battery: The battery is very nice.. When I received my unit the first thing I did was pair it to my devices (of course) and started checking it out.. I received them with 60% battery.. I used them the rest of that day at work for a couple of hours.. then when I left, used them a little more at the house and watched half of a movie on them before going to bed.. They were still at 60%.. The box says that they last 40 hours and that is accurate.. If you don't use the Bass-Up technology you can squeeze even more.. and to not use the ANC it goes up higher.. 40 hours for battery life though is incredible for this price range.. I cannot complain! Packaging: The packaging was very nice and well put together.. It came with a charge cable and 3.5mm aux cable (which is great for my Nintendo Switch when I fly).. While I would have loved to seen a USB-C type adapter (as would many others) that is still an expensive change to make and would probably bump the price up out of the $60 range.. I understand from a manufacturing point the reasoning to possibly go with a micro-USB.. It would be nice for C, but it is what it is.. That doesn't change how well this thing is made and works.. The only gripe I have and it's a minor thing is the case they come with.. Well, you can't call it a case cause it's just a bag.. Now, it's a very nice bag, but I throws these buys in a backpack with a laptop and iPad and Switch (in a hardcase) and so a bag doesn't really protect your headphones.. Luckily I had a nice hard case from a cheap pair of headphone I received a few years ago (the case was the nicest part) and they fit perfectly.. So if you don't have one buy a hard case for them.. Overall: Overall, for the price these are the best hands down.. You really cannot beat their ANC and sound quality for this price.. I will definitely buy these again and probably buy my wife some so she'll stop stealing mine.. If it was out of 10, I'd give this product a 9/10 simply due to no hard shell case..

Unfortunately, I fall victim to being clumsy and often breaking / losing my headphones and earbuds- and when both my computer headset and everyday headphones broke, I almost died- and came to Amazon for a solution as many others before me have. I am a MAJOR FPS gamer. Specifically games like Overwatch and Call Of Duty. I had previously owned A pair of Steelseries Arctis Novas for my setup, and LOVED them. The sound quality is crisp and you're able to clearly tell where players are. I also really like good music headphones. Previous to these headphones I had used Beats, which, were good music quality, but falling apart. Since I lose and break headphones a lot, I didn't trust myself to go all in with an expensive headset. Through scrolling, I found these. Now, for the review. I LOVE THEM! They are very cozy. The material used for them do not feel cheap, and the speaker part of the headphones has lots of swivel opportunity. The cushioning is very well made, and with 4+ hour gaming sessions they do not ache my ears-they actually fit inside instead of the earmuffs instead of sitting on them! Audio wise, I can safely say, this is on par with my old Steelseries Headset. This is what really worried me, because crisp sound is very important in the games I play. Almost instantly, this headset proved it could handle that. It picks up all footsteps I need to watch out for gaming. Microphone wise, I use an external one at my desk, so I cannot entirely speak on it. As for music, this headset dominates that as well! Very rich in bass, and, if you download the app provided, you can boost it further which I adore! Vocals and everything are honestly, better than my Beats headphones. The noise cancelling is okay. It's nothing Apple level, but it certainly is enough to drown out noisy roommates, bus rides, or food halls you encounter. The transparent mode is also very useful for when I have to unfortunately listen to what's happening around me. Another very wonderful addition that I HIGHLY recommend is the app this headset comes with for phones. It controls the audio mixer for extra bass or less treble, has buttons for noise cancelling / transparent mode, and the best feature? You can connect multiple devices. It sounds basic, almost unneeded, but I didn't realize how much such a small little addition goes. Game queue times too long? Thats fine, my headset is also connected to my phone so I can scroll tiktok. Need to leave your friends on call for a second? Still hear them and do whatever you needed downstairs with your phone. The battery life is also very nice! I only have to charge them every few days, even when I do have those longer gaming sessions! All in all, I HIGHLY recommend this headset if you are looking for a new reliable one to replace your old ones. With sound quality of headphones ranging 100$+ USD, this is an absolute STEAL! I have been practicing being gentle with them because I never want to break them. (P.S. For all my fellow computer users or gamers using this headset, I highly recommend connecting it through your computer's Bluetooth, not headphone jack! Noise Cancelling is not available through headphone jack, and the audio sounds just the tiniest bit worse- nothing too irritating though! If you have an audio mixer app on your computer like me, there might be two options of headphones to pick from through Bluetooth. Do the STEREO audio option. You are welcome! :D)

These are amazing headphones!! Great audio quality, great bass, great comfort. Had them for about two years now and they’ve been very loyal and reliable. Great for the price too! Extremely recommend these!!

I got these just to watch TV with when the house is quiet and WOW, I love these things. I didn't think I'd be a fan of these because they were over-the-ear headphones, and I'm more of a fan of the in-ear, sport style headphones (big fan of the PowerBeats 2), but I've loved these things since I got them. The in-ear style tends to hurt your ears if you fall asleep in them too many times, and these things are comfortable as HAIL. I've fallen asleep in these numerous times countless times over the years (had them since November 2024), and the majority of the time, I wake up to them still on my head, and if they're not, I'm not worried about crushing them because they've been extremely durable. Now, I don't abuse them, but, being relatively inexpensive, I don't take as good of care of them as I do some of my more expensive sets of headphones and they've held up phenomenally. They've performed so well for me and the price point is so great that I'm going to purchase 1-2 more pairs of these, just in case they disappear or get discontinued. Battery life has been great. Really no complaints. I can go days in-between charges, just casually watching television and listening to music. Love the fact that it has USB-C charging. Sound quality is relatively good for the price point. It's not going to knock your socks off and if you're an audiophile, you'll probably be displeased, but, I think for like 85% of people, these will get the job done. Kind of wish I could turn the volume up a little more, but, I think it also depends on the audio source. These can get pretty loud, but, I really like to blast my music and I wish I could get like 25% more volume out of these headphones. It's also missing that good, solid bass thump, but I think that's just the nature of over-the-ear headphones and I just may be more used to in-ear headphones and home stereo systems that have a bass driver or subwoofer, respectively. Overall, these are really good headphones for the casual user and, for the money, I'd buy these again several times over. Anker continues to impress me and has become one of my absolute favorite brands for consumer electronic-related items over the years.
