Our Verdict

Anker Soundcore Life Q30 Wireless

CMF Headphone Pro

The Anker Soundcore Life Q30 Wireless and CMF Headphone Pro are both budget over-ears. If you're looking to save a bit extra and don't mind sacrificing build quality, the Anker are the pickup for you. They also come with a hard case and have a slightly longer 44.3-hour battery life compared with the CMF's 37.2. That said, they don't support the higher-quality LDAC codec or Spatial Audio like the CMF. The CMF also have a more striking design, which could be a positive or a negative, depending on your tastes.
