Anker Soundcore Q20i Wireless Headphones
The cheapest ANC headphones worth buying — hybrid noise cancellation, 40-hour battery, and Hi-Res Audio for $35.
Our Review
The Soundcore Q20i are the headphones that make you question why anyone spends $400. At $35, you get hybrid active noise cancellation (not just passive), 40 hours of battery with ANC on, Hi-Res Audio certification, and a comfortable over-ear design. The bass is emphasized (great for pop and hip-hop, less ideal for classical), and the ANC won't match Sony or Bose, but it genuinely reduces background noise on commutes and in offices. Amazon's #1 best-seller with 10K+ bought monthly. For the price of a nice lunch, you get legitimate wireless ANC headphones.
