These five-star headphones look like Beats but are a fraction of the price
Shoppers can enjoy noise cancelling and a long battery life for just over £30 There's nothing quite like over-ear headphones when we want to shut the world out and enjoy our music. Big brands charge big bucks for the latest tech, but there are some top performing headphones for a fraction of the price – and they look just like Beats. The Soundcore Q20i headphones are great value for money, with premium features like noise-cancelling, convenient folding, support for Hi-Res music and great sound. Best of all, the normal £49.99 price has been slashed to £31.98 on Amazon. These headphones look like Beats Studio, but they are a fifth of the price. Priced at just over £30, this is the cheapest price that these headphones typically get to, but Amazon says this is a limited time offer, so shoppers will have to move fast to get the best price. Shoppers over on the Soundcore site have left nearly 700 five-star reviews for these headphones, while on Amazon, 77% of buyers give it top marks, with an overall review score of 4.6. Considering there are over 19,000 reviews, that's a lot of happy customers. Of course, premium brands still have something to offer and if shoppers are after something that sounds better and is higher quality, then the Bose QuietComfort SC is a great place to turn. Best of all, customers can snap up the Bose headphones nearly half price at the moment, costing £199.95 direct from Bose instead of £289.95, offering better build quality, better sound quality and better noise cancellation. Back to those affordable Soundcore Q20i headphones and there's 40 hours of battery life with active noise cancellation, or a massive 60 hours without. There's a transparency mode so the wearer can hear the world around them if they don't want all that noise blocked out. The sound comes from large 40mm drivers, with the support for Hi-Res music meaning better quality from sources like Apple Music or Amazon Music, allowing users to really get the best out of their music. The cable is needed for that top-quality performance, however, and when using the cable, noise cancellation isn't available, which is a drawback compared to some more expensive headphones, like the Sony 1000XM4. Buyers praise the value to money that they offer, with one saying 'Soundcore is a great competitor to Sony or JBL!' Other buyers talked about the great noise cancelling: 'The noise cancelling feature is probably the stand-out feature. At this price point, it really puts them up there with flagship devices.' Some shoppers, however, highlighted that the settings can be a bit fiddly. 'Sound is good but if you're cycling it seems to catch the wind wrong and it's all you can hear. Edit - change the noise cancelling settings and they're fine. User error' said one shopper, suggesting that wearers might pick the wrong mode by mistake. Customers says that these are comforable headphones with good padding on the earpieces, while they weigh 259g, which just a little heavier than those Bose headphones that I mentioned. They also come with a case so they can be packed flat when travelling. If customers are in the market for over-ear noise cancelling headphones for their daily commute or travels, then the Soundcore Q20i offer good value for money and a full range of features.

This deal gets you $45 earbuds that 'redefine' the genre
Just three weeks ago we reviewed the Soundcore Liberty 5, which we called 'excellent daily driver earbuds.' The meaning was pretty clear — the buds sell for $130, which is considerably lower than their Apple competition and sits them right in the middle of the best earbuds. They're quality buds and have Soundcore's best ANC to date. That's great stuff, but this hot deal puts an all-time low price on a difference set of Soundcore's earbuds — a more budget-minded set. The Soundcore Space A40 retail for somewhere between about $65 and $80 depending on where you look, but now you can get them for just $45. Amazon Prime members can get the blue color and any Walmart shopper can get the black color with free shipping while this deal lasts. Is it enough to completely eclipse the Liberty 5 release? For a certain type of shopper, yes. If you're that type of shopper, please tap the appropriate button below. Why you should buy the Soundcore Space A40 The Soundcore Space A40 have been on our radar for quite some time now, and we liked them even when they released with a $100 MSRP. Our Soundcore Space A40 review says that the small earbuds 'redefine what you can expect from budget wireless earbuds.' The reason they are described this way is due to a features list that transcends what we typically expect from sub-$100 earbuds. They have 'real deal' ANC, a battery life of 50 hours when you include the case (and have ANC off), are 'very comfortable,' and have the full slew of companion app features that you'd expect from superior earbuds, among other things. These are fully featured earbuds now being sold for just $45. Even if you've got something great yourself already, they make a fine gift for someone who isn't tuned into premium buds (yet). Getting the Soundcore Space A40 for just $45 instead of the usual $65-$80 we usually see them at is an amazing deal and great opportunity. But if you're still want to play the field a bit, be sure to check out our list of the best budget headphones and earbuds. There, you'll see the Soundcore Space A40, but also offerings like the JLab JBuds Mini, which are slightly cheaper at $40. However, that's their normal price. If you want quality earbuds at an incredible price, the Soundcore Space A40 at $45 are the headphones deal to beat.

Anker's new wireless earbuds come with a case that can also charge your phone
Anker's Soundcore audio brand has released a new pair of wireless earbuds that may be worth the upgrade for the charging case alone. In addition to a status screen, the case incorporates a hefty 3,000mAh battery that can keep the buds powered for over a week, or it can be used to partially top up a smartphone. For comparison, the AirPods Pro 2 's charging case includes a much smaller 523mAh battery. The new Soundcore P41i wireless earbuds are now available for purchase through the brand's online store in the UK for £89.99, or around $121. They're currently not listed on the US version of Soundcore's website, but previous versions of the earbuds in this line have seen a wider global release. Anker says the earbuds themselves offer up to 12 hours of battery life with ANC turned off, which can be boosted to up to 192 hours when paired with the charging case. That's enough power to use the buds around the clock for eight continuous days, although with more realistic usage it means the case can probably go for about a month between charges. That much battery life potentially makes the Soundcore P41i a great travel option, but also a solution for those dealing with smartphone battery anxiety. The charging case includes a built-in USB-C cable that doubles as a wrist strap, as well as a Lightning adapter for charging older iPhones and iPads. Anker estimates the case's 3,000mAh has enough capacity to charge a dead iPhone 16 Pro halfway, or a Samsung Galaxy S24 to 45 percent. The Soundcore P41i earbuds feature 11mm composite drivers and the brand's optional BassUp technology for those wanting more presence from lower frequencies. They also offer adaptive ANC using six microphones with the option to adjust the intensity of the noise cancelling through Soundcore's app if you want to hear more of what's going on around you. AI noise reduction will help reduce background sounds while you're on a call, and the buds have an IPX5 water resistance rating so while getting them wet is okay, you'll want to avoid a complete dunking.
