[Amazon.ca] Soundcore by Anker Life Q35 color black 99(matching ATL)--blue/white 109

Deal Link:: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09FPCZ318?ref ... 71F5154KY3
Price:: 99
Savings:: 38%
Retailer:: Amazon.ca

Back in December i was planing to buy these headphones, but somebody get me something better. I had set up an alert so today it rang. What I've heard is that these are great budget noise canceling headphones at this price. Technically ATL. This isn't a particular price but if you didn't have a headset and you wanna enter the market, it's a good idea.

Also here the rtings if you wanna look at it:

I have the q45, my wife has the q30. I had the Q35 for a lil while, and can say that they were not any better than the 30's. It may just be my plebinan ears. (I kept the q45's for aesthetic reasons tho I do miss the touch sensitive anc off function)

I don't fail, I succeed at finding what doesn't work

Does the anc works when using 3.5mm? I think I have the older version and the anc shut itself off once 3.5mm is plugged in.

If I buy something that is not in deep discounted, my father will punish me; everyone will laugh at me. I will be the strange kid who doesn't fit in.

Picked up Q30 a little while back, they're pretty great so far. Wondering if these are worth the extra money for the upgrade

I think it’d only make sense if you needed wired ANC. The sound improvements are minimal according to reviews online.

It seems like you’re comparing the Q35 to the Q30’s here.

What about specifically compared to the Q45’s? And if you don’t remember then how do your wife’s Q30’s compare? I’m most concerned with noice cancelling performance and comfort, not talking about sound quality

I am, the q30's are IMHO a better deal when they go on sale.

as per the q45 v q30, the adaptive noise cancelling is good. But if you are trying to drown out like an airplane, I found them identical. Consistent engine noises etc.

The q30 has a touch panel on the side of the headphone that is fantastic at turning off ANC vs the q45's that use a button on the bottom of the earcup. (particularly good when you are having a convo with your spouse, or the flight attendant is taking orders)

I have q30 and on airplane when you use 3.5mm, it will shut off the anc.

I can't speak to that, as I use mine primarily on bluetooth. Laptop, phone, tablet etc. This could be a deal breaker for some

Looks like they did it on purpose with an update. This could also affect q35 and q45 if anker wants to push out a new headphone tho

Keep in mind these will break after about a year of use. The plastic part on the inside with the screw flexes near the L or R symbols and will crack and fail eventually. Going through warranty claim and so far Anker says they will refund 10% and saying the defect is known but doesn't effect the use of the headphones...

bought these in December and returned them. Did not impress me and i like Ankers ear buds i own 3 different ones. However i felt like a huge nerd with these on my noggin. The controls were awkward to use .

RFD strikes again. In for one in black I've been looking at the Q30 that regularly goes on sale for $76 but I don't mind paying extra $24 for slightly newer model and a few extra features of the Q35. Currently using Beats Solo3 but wanted something with decent ANC and decent sound quality for ~$100.

Q30 for $77 was a better deal but Q35 having double stitched cups (q30 tear easily), LDAC and useable with cable (no ANC with wire on q30 sound terrible) could make this a better buy for some.

I ordered one. I will make sure I do not let it connect to the app while there is internet.
