Anker Offers Soundcore ANC Headphones for Practically Nothing to Clear Out Stock
Commuting, studying at a busy café, or flying home for the holidays is easier when your headphones hush the world without costing a fortune. The Soundcore Anker Life Q20 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones hit that sweet spot. They slip over your ears with plush cushions, cut a good chunk of background rumble, and keep playlists sounding warm and lively for hours. If you are tired of turning up the volume just to drown out chatter, this set offers a calmer way to listen. Head over to Amazon to get the Soundcore Anker Life Q20 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones for just $38, down from its usual price of $60. That's a discount of $22 and 37% off. See at Amazon The star is the hybrid noise cancelling. Flip the switch and the low droning sounds that follow you through daily life fade to the background. Bus engines and air conditioner hums soften, so podcasts and audiobooks stay clear at regular volumes. The sound signature leans friendly and full, which makes pop, classic rock, and movie soundtracks feel satisfying without needing constant EQ tweaks. You can still take calls, too. Built in mics focus on your voice so quick check ins do not sound like you are talking from the end of a tunnel. Comfort matters on long days, and the Q20 keeps it simple. Soft memory foam pads sit gently around your ears, the padded headband spreads weight evenly, and the earcups swivel for a better fit. The foldable design tucks neatly into a backpack pocket, so it is easy to bring along for study sessions or weekend trips. Physical buttons handle volume, play and pause, track skips, and the noise cancelling toggle, which means your phone can stay in your pocket. Battery life is a quiet highlight. You can listen through work and into the evening on a single charge, then plug in before bed and wake up ready to go again. If you forget to charge, a short top up buys enough time to finish a commute or gym session. There is also a wired option with the included audio cable, handy for airplane seatback screens or when you want to save battery for later. Little touches make daily use smoother. Bluetooth pairing is quick, the connection stays steady while you walk around the house, and the finish wipes clean after gym days. For students, commuters, and anyone craving a budget friendly way to escape the din, this pair is an easy yes. The Soundcore Anker Life Q20 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones are still available for $38 at Amazon, a welcome drop from the regular $60 price. See at Amazon

Forget the Sony WH-1000XM4, grab this $37 pair instead in the Prime Day sales
We're massive fans of the Sony WH-1000XM4 at Tom's Guide, but we're well aware that even when drastically reduced, they're still very expensive. That's where this Soundcore pair come in clutch during the Prime Day sales. The Soundcore Life Q20 are down to $37 at Amazon, and they contain many of the same features as the XM4. They're also about one-fifth the price of the Sonys. This much cheaper pair of headphones packs in plenty of features that make them feel a lot more expensive than they actually are. ANC keeps the noise out, 70 hours of battery means they last for ages, and the plush cushioning keeps them comfortable. The WH-1000XM4 feature noise canceling, solid sound, and lovely comfortable foam — oh, wait, that's much the same feature set of the Life Q20. They're a bit diminished, perhaps, but you compare the specs lists and the two look pretty similar on paper. Of course, the sound isn't going to be quite as good and ANC not quite as effective, but you've got to make some compromises when you're buying headphones that are this cheap. And they are cheap. One place where the Life Q20 beat out the Sony is in the battery department — they last for 70 hours instead of the Sony's 30. That's over double the staying power for some epic battery life. I've done some math. At their current deal prices you could get four and a bit pairs of Life Q20 (I never said it was exact math) for the same price as the Sony WH-1000XM4. Not that I'm saying should, only that you could. If you're looking for something that doesn't cost a whole lot but still brings you the ANC experience, then the Life Q20 aren't something to be sniffed at. Again — about one-fifth the price. That's mad. There are plenty more deals to be had this Prime Day — make sure you check out our Prime Day live blog to make sure you're staying on top of all the latest sales and offers.
