These headphones were replaced by the Anker Soundcore Life Q30 Wireless

The Anker Soundcore Life Q20 are an upgraded version of the Anker SoundCore Life 2 Wireless. These budget-friendly headphones have a few moderate upgrades, including a more comfortable fit and an improved ANC feature. That said, given their price point, it's not much of a surprise that they don't come with as many features as more premium models on the market, so you won't find many sound customization options or a companion app.

Our Verdict

6.8 Neutral Sound

The Anker Life Q20 are adequate for neutral sound. While their mid-range is very well-balanced, their treble range has several peaks, and their bass range is over-emphasized. There aren't many sound customization features on hand to switch up its sound, aside from a BassUp tool to add more rumble in the bass.

Pros
  • Good imaging performance.
Cons
  • Over-emphasized bass range.
7.4 Commute/Travel

The Anker Life Q20 are decent headphones for commuting or travel. They're quite comfortable, and they come with a basic pouch to give them light protection when tossing them into a bag. While their ANC helps block out your chatty seatmate on a plane, it won't help to block out the rumble of the engine. On the bright side, their long battery life can last even the longest of travel days, and you can use them passively if the battery runs dry.

Pros
  • Good noise isolation.
  • Comfortable fit.
Cons
  • Struggles to block out bass-heavy noises like bus and plane engines.
  • Pouch doesn't protect against drops or bumps.
7.1 Sports/Fitness

The Anker Life Q20 are decent headphones for sports. Like most closed-back over-ear headphones, they'll likely cause your ears to heat up and sweat more than usual, but they're decently stable and can withstand a light jog or run without falling off. Their Bluetooth connectivity means you don't have to worry about a cable getting snagged and pulling the headphones off, which is good.

Pros
  • Comfortable fit.
  • Stable enough for light exercise.
Cons
  • Not stable enough for intense exercise.
  • Not very portable.
7.2 Office

The Anker Life Q20 are decent headphones for use in the office. Their comfortable and lightweight design means you can wear them for long periods without causing fatigue or discomfort. Their ANC does an excellent job at blocking out chatty coworkers, and their battery can easily last you a few full work days.

Pros
  • Good noise isolation.
  • Comfortable fit.
Cons
  • No multi-device pairing.
  • Pouch doesn't protect against drops or bumps.
5.3 Wireless Gaming

You can only use the Anker Life Q20 wirelessly over Bluetooth, meaning they aren't compatible with the PS4 or Xbox One. While you can connect them to a Bluetooth-compatible PC, their latency will likely be too high for competitive gaming.

7.0 Wired Gaming

While you can use the Anker Life Q20 wired for gaming, their microphone won't work, so you'll only get audio through the headphones. This means they likely aren't a good choice for multiplayer games.

Pros
  • Comfortable fit.
Cons
  • No microphone compatibility.
6.9 Phone Calls

The Anker Life Q20 are okay headphones for phone calls. Their microphone performance is decent, though your voice sounds quite thin, and it's hard for the person on the other end of the line to hear you in even moderately noisy environments.

Pros
  • Decent microphone recording quality.
Cons
  • Struggles to block out bass-heavy noises like bus and plane engines.
  • 6.8 Neutral Sound
  • 7.4 Commute/Travel
  • 7.1 Sports/Fitness

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

These headphones are available in Black, Blue, and Silver color variants. We tested the Black version and expect the other variants to perform similarly.

If you come across another version of these headphones, let us know in the forums so we can update our review.

Compared To Other Headphones

The Anker Soundcore Life Q20 are the upgraded version of the Anker SoundCore Life 2 Wireless. They're almost the exact same headphones but are slightly smaller and have slightly improved ANC and battery life, as well as even more emphasized bass and treble ranges. They're a decent overall pair of budget headphones for the price and have one of the better ANC features available at this price point.

See our recommendations for the best headphones, the best noise cancelling headphones under $100, and the best wireless headphones.

Anker Soundcore Life Q30 Wireless

The Anker Soundcore Life Q30 are the next generation of the Anker Soundcore Life Q20 Wireless and are slightly better than their predecessor. The Q30 come with a hard case. They have a significantly better noise isolation performance and longer-lasting battery life. They're also compatible with the Anker Soundcore app, which allows you to customize their sound profile with a graphic EQ and presets. However, the Q20 are more stable and have a better-balanced sound profile out-of-the-box.

Anker Soundcore Life Q35 Wireless

The Anker Soundcore Life Q35 Wireless are slightly better headphones than the Anker Soundcore Life Q20 Wireless. While both headphones are comfortable, the Q35 are better-built, have a better-performing ANC, and have longer-lasting battery life. They're also compatible with the Anker Soundcore app, which allows you to customize their sound with a graphic EQ or presets. They can also be paired with up to two devices at once and support LDAC codec for high-quality audio.

Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless

The Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless are better noise cancelling over-ears than the Anker Soundcore Life Q20 Wireless. The Sony are more comfortable, they isolate significantly more noise, and they feel a lot better-built. They're also compatible with an excellent companion app which gives you access to tons of sound customization features. There's a premium price to pay for the Sony, though. The Anker are a lot more affordable and still perform decently overall, so they may provide better value for some users.

Anker SoundCore Life 2 Wireless

The Anker Soundcore Life Q20 Wireless are a slightly improved version of the Anker SoundCore Life 2 Wireless. The Q20 have improved ANC, which will do a better job at blocking out both background speech as well as the low engine rumble of planes or buses. The Q20 battery life is also improved slightly, though it doesn't quite reach the advertised 40 hours. People with small heads will find the Q20 more comfortable and stable than the previous version, as they're a bit smaller. On the other hand, the Life 2 have a more balanced sound profile and a much nicer, hard-carrying case.

Mpow H10 Wireless

The Mpow H10 Wireless and the Anker Soundcore Life Q20 Wireless are both decent wireless ANC headphones. The Anker feel slightly better built and stable on the head and have a more bass-heavy sound profile. However, the Mpow are still slightly thumpy but better balanced overall. The ANC performance of the Mpow is quite a bit better, especially for blocking out engine sounds, but the battery on the Anker will last almost 10 hours longer.

Anker SoundCore Space NC Wireless

The Anker Soundcore Life Q20 Wireless and the Anker SoundCore Space NC Wireless are decent wireless over-ear headphones with ANC. The Life have a slightly better-balanced sound profile, a much longer battery that charges much quicker, and much lower latency on iOS. The Space have better ANC, feel better built, and have lower latency on Android.

Beats Solo Pro Wireless

The Beats Solo Pro Wireless and the Anker Soundcore Life Q20 Wireless are similarly performing headphones. The Beats are better built, have a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer, and their ANC can block out more ambient noise around you. That said, the Anker are more comfortable and have longer continuous battery life. You can also use them passively with their 1/8" TRS cable.

Sennheiser HD 4.50 BTNC

The Sennheiser HD 4.50 BTNC and the Anker Soundcore Life Q20 Wireless are both decent wireless noise cancelling headphones, though the Anker provide better value if you prefer their sound profile. The Anker are more comfortable, easier-to-use, have a better microphone, isolate more noise, and have longer battery life. However, the Anker's V-shaped sound signature won't be for everyone. That said, while the Sennheiser are less bass-heavy, they can also sound quite harsh and dull.

Cowin E7 Wireless

The Anker Soundcore Life Q20 Wireless are slightly better mixed-use headphones than the Cowin E7 Wireless. The Anker are quite a bit more comfortable, have better controls, feel better built, have a longer battery, and have much better ANC. On the other hand, the Cowin have a more balanced sound profile and lower overall latency.

Wyze Noise-Cancelling Headphones Wireless

The Wyze Noise-Cancelling Headphones Wireless and the Anker Soundcore Life Q20 Wireless have different strengths, and depending on your usage, you may prefer one over the other. While both headphones are comfortable, the Wyze are better built, have more consistent audio reproduction, and have an auto-off timer to help conserve battery life. They also have a better performing ANC, and their companion app offers a graphic EQ and presets. However, the Anker's integrated mic has a better recording quality and noise handling performance.

TaoTronics SoundSurge 60 Wireless

The Anker Soundcore Life Q20 Wireless are much better Bluetooth noise cancelling headphones than the TaoTronics SoundSurge 60 Wireless. While their noise cancelling isn't quite as good, the Anker sound much better balanced. Our TaoTronics unit sounds dark and shows a significant mismatch in performance between their drivers. The Anker are much better balanced, with a more excited sound signature. The TaoTronics do feel a bit better built and even come with a nice hard carrying case, but both models are equally comfortable.

Mpow EM12 Wireless Earphone

The Mpow EM12 Wireless Earphone and the Anker Soundcore Life Q20 Wireless are very different products meant for different uses. The EM12 is a mono Bluetooth headset that looks like a single earbud from a pair of truly wireless in-ears and is designed to be used while making phone calls. On the other hand, the Life Q20 are Bluetooth over-ear headphones designed primarily for listening to music. The Q20 also have a microphone built-in, which allows you to easily take phone calls, and the headphones themselves have ANC to give you peace while commuting or in the office. Overall, the Q20 are much more versatile and are a better choice for most uses.

TREBLAB Z2 Wireless

The Anker Soundcore Life Q20 Wireless and the TREBLAB Z2 Wireless both perform similarly overall. While the Anker have a much better ANC feature and last longer off a single charge, the TREBLAB have a better-balanced and less bass-heavy sound profile. The Anker are more comfortable and have a better microphone. On the other hand, the TREBLAB support features like multi-device pairing and aptX-LL, and have easier to use controls.

Logitech Zone Wired

The Anker Soundcore Life Q20 Wireless are better office headphones than the Logitech Zone Wired. The Anker are wireless over-ears that are Bluetooth 5.0-compatible, giving them a substantial advantage in regards to overall versatility. They’re also marginally more portable and have an integrated microphone that delivers only slightly inferior recording quality, though it does a much worse job of isolating speech from ambient noise than the Logitech’s boom microphone. The Logitech also feel better-built and have a dedicated companion app to adjust their sound profile.

TaoTronics SoundLiberty 92 Truly Wireless

The Anker Soundcore Life Q20 Wireless are better headphones than the TaoTronics SoundLibery 92 Truly Wireless. The Anker are more comfortable, and they have a more neutral though bass-heavy default sound profile. These over-ears also do a better job isolating background noise, and they leak less sound. Their over 32-hour continuous battery life surpasses the TaoTronics, and their microphone performs better, too. That said, the TaoTronics' earbud design and charging case makes them much more portable, so they're a better choice for sports and fitness.

Status Audio BT One Wireless

The Anker Soundcore Life Q20 Wireless are better for mixed usage than the Status Audio BT One Wireless. The Anker headphones have a more comfortable over-ear fit, block out far more ambient noise, leak less audio, and last much longer off of a single charge. The Status Audio have lower wireless latency on PC and Android devices, are lighter and easier to carry around thanks to their hard case and deliver audio more consistently.

Mixcder E9 Wireless

The Mixcder E9 Wireless and the Anker Soundcore Life Q20 Wireless are both decent wireless over-ear headphones with ANC. The Mixcder come with a much nicer carrying case, have a more consistent frequency response among different users, lower latency on Android or PC, and a much better-balanced sound profile. On the other hand, the Anker have better microphone performance, lower iOS latency, and a significantly longer battery.

These headphones look practically identical to the Anker SoundCore Life 2 Wireless. They have the same straightforward design that looks decent for a pair of budget-oriented headphones. The only noticeable difference between these and the older version is that the logo is now printed on the ear cup instead of being etched into the plastic. While our unit is all black, they're also available in silver or blue variants.

These headphones are comfortable. While their ear cups have slightly less padding than the previous model, it's not noticeable while wearing them, and they feel just as good on your head. They're quite lightweight, and thankfully, their headband is a bit smaller than that of the Anker SoundCore Life 2 Wireless, so they're a better fit for people with smaller heads.

The controls are decently easy to use. The physical buttons are clicky and provide good feedback, though there's no way of knowing which bass setting you're on. Overall, it's the same scheme as what you get with the previous version, and they include a play/pause button, call controls, track skipping, and volume controls. They also still have a dedicated ANC button and the ability to trigger bass boost via the middle button.

These headphones come with a very basic pouch that isn't nearly as good as the hard case that comes with the previous version. The pouch has a cinch tie to close it, and its material can protect the headphones from slight splashes, though it won't do much to protect them from drops or bumps.

Design
Build Quality

The build quality is decent. Like the Anker SoundCore Life 2 Wireless, they are mainly plastic but are reinforced by a thin metal sheet in the headband. The hinges are likely their weakest point, as they feel hollow and plasticky, but overall, the headphones feel dense and solid enough to survive a few accidental drops or bumps without sustaining too much damage.

7.0
Design
Stability

The stability is decent. Their clamping force is good, so they stay in place during jogs or light runs unless you have a very small head. Their slightly smaller design over the previous version means they feel slightly more stable for most people, too. However, they can fall off your head during more intense exercises.

These headphones have an excited sound profile. Even with the BassUp feature turned off, their bass range is over-emphasized, resulting in extra thump and kick in the mix. This will likely please fans of bass-heavy genres like EDM or hip-hop, while their over-emphasized treble range is good for genres like pop and rock. Turning BassUp on adds even more boom to the mix, though this isn't ideal for fans of a more neutral sound. Still, these headphones offer a balanced mid-range, so vocals and lead instruments reproduce with clarity and accuracy.

The frequency response consistency is quite decent. These headphones are more accurate in the bass range than the previous version, so you get a similar bass response every time you wear them. You may notice some inconsistencies with the treble range, so you may need to adjust them on your head slightly to get the same listening experience every time.

The Anker Life Q20's peaks and dips performance is decent. There aren't many deviations in the sound profile, meaning that the headphones can control the sound profile quite well. The peak in mid-bass makes most bass frequencies sound full and thumpy, while the peaks in the mid and treble ranges cause some higher-pitched instruments to sound harsh and piercing.

While Anker's had a few hits and misses in imaging over the years, the imaging for the Anker Q20 is great. Our unit's L/R drivers are well-matched in all aspects, ensuring a tight bass, transparent treble reproduction, and a stable stereo image. Sound objects like footsteps and instruments are accurately placed and localized within the image. Overall, imaging is an indicator of ergonomics and quality control. It's worth mentioning that these results are only valid for our unit, and yours may perform differently.

On the bright side, these headphones do an excellent job of blocking out background speech, making them a good option for blocking out chatty coworkers in the office. The next generations of these headphones, the Anker Soundcore Life Q30 Wireless and the Anker Soundcore Life Q35 Wireless, have even better ANC performances.
