These headphones are soooo comfy and they sound superb! The battery life is excellent, especially compared to earbuds, and the noise canceling works great. I also love the “transparency mode,” which lets ambient sound in through the headphones instead of blocking it out. I often watch movies with my long-distance bestie, so it lets me hear the movie clearly while talking to her on the phone.I recently bought a pair of Sony WH-1000XM4s to compare, and I couldn’t hear a noticeable difference in sound quality — definitely not a ~$300 difference. These are also significantly more comfortable than the Sonys (softer cushions and lighter weight), plus they come in pink!

These are really incredible headphones!! Bought as a gift for my daughter hoping that they would be as good as people said and they ARE! I appreciated all the reviews where people talked about particular songs they used to adjust settings. I would like to add that the Top Gun theme is a great one to hear the great range of these headphones, as well as "Heavy" by Collective Soul. The bass is awesome and any song with electric guitar sounds great. Classical music is also great. My daughter says she feels like Stan Lee in the Amazing Spider-man LOL! Anyway...I hope the longevity is great, but these can't be beat, especially at the price they were offered. They are also very comfortable and soft, don't really squeeze earrings, love that they are bluetooth connected, volume easily controlled from the headset, ff, rewind, pause, transparency awareness (you can press a button and it turns off the noise cancelling setting. Noise canceling feature works great. My only concern is that they are so soft, I hope that the cushioning doesn't tear with a lot of use. I will update review if it does. They also came pretty well charged, comes with aux cord and charging cord.

I had these for less than 2 years and then upgraded to the Q45, I will discuss why I upgraded in a moment. First, I will start with the sound comparison. I am not an audiophile, but I do enjoy good quality sound, which the Q30 provided quite well. I can honestly not tell any difference in the sound between the Q30 and the Q45. I can also not tell any difference the Noise Canceling between the two. There is one feature on the Q30 that is not on the Q45, which I miss, and that is tapping the side of the headphone to change between Noise Canceling, Normal, and Transparency modes. There is a small button on the Q45 that does this, but I hit the wrong button sometimes and it is not as simple as the touch feature of the Q30. Calls on both sound great and others say I sound good. Background noise is greatly reduced by the mic on both. Both have great cushioning and I can comfortably wear glasses while using them.Now on to what I like about the Q45 more and why I upgraded. I purchased the Q30, mostly to use at my desk, but I would occasionally take them on flights and I always used the case when I did. I am very picky and treat my electronics very well. But, after about a year and a half of gentle use the plastic frame began cracking. I loved these headphones and tried to super glue them, but that fix didn't last long. I love Soundcore and think they are a great value. I upgraded to the Q45 Space Series by Soundcore and I have now had them longer than the Q30. The Q45 headphones have no cracks or issues. The design looks similar, but the adjustable frame is designed better and handles daily use better.

This version of Soundcore Life is so comfortable. Amazing for a budget friendly option. The transparency mode is much better than expected. I was shocked with the quality. With a teen with sensory issues these will become a staple in our household. They sound wonderful. Battery lasts for a long time. Various color options. Also comes with a case. It’s very quick and simple to connect them via bluetooth. Volume is able to be controlled on the headphones or the device that its con too. I have 4 children aging 17 to 3 and these fit them all comfortably. I’m hoping they hold up to everyday life and have a long durable quality. My teen can be rough on things.
