Title: UPDATE: Company made good, Very Pleased!
Review: Update: I must give the highest accolades to Anker Soundcore Customer Service. Knowing that I had returned the 1st set of Q45 Space headphones because I had a sound problem, Customer Services personnel persisted in resolving my problem. Now with a new set of headphones that connected flawlessly WITH NO SOUND PROBLEMS AT ALL, I now have a set of Q45 Space Headphones that I can use on calls, class and conferences. Sound quality is clear on both ends of the conversation, headphones are very comfortable wearing; have worn 8 hours with only short break. At day’s end,. battery life, after 8 hours of wear, only went from high to medium. No charge needed during interim. Range let me go downstairs an out to the street still hearing through headphone with no interruptions. When taking breaks. Headsets hang comfortably around my neck, they are light enough to be worn with C3-C5 neck injury. NO ANC complaints. What I do miss is the touch button ANC change format that I experienced on the q35, these contain a button which is a bit more difficult to navigate when wearing. So far I am very pleased with the Q45 Space. Haven’t had time to enjoy music yet and play with all features.Old: Returned headphones. I use headphones for primarily for phone call use. First attempt call could not hear caller, switched iPhone to speaker to complete call. Second attempt yielded a screeching sound heard by caller and myself, again back to iPhone speaker to complete. Perplexed at quality because I owned the Q35’s that I really liked. The mic began failing on the Q35’s at approximately a year’s duration. Thought the Q45’s would be better. WRONG!Contacts with manufacturer largest complaint is that I would receive successive emails noting that prior emails had not been. I was still receiving “try this —“ and you haven’t responded subsequent to me emailing that the headphones had been returned. I finally combined all emails activity into one and sent it again reiterating that the headphones had been returned. Second is major complaint: when an item, new, is not working, please don’t send a litany of “try this”. The problem was the sound and app was properly installed.Re comparison of Q35 and Q45, can tell you ANC activation is better on Q35, requires only touch rather than Button hunt. Q35 instantly recognizes when headphones placed on, Q45 did not. Battery life (days) and sound excellent on Q35. Me: tempted to buy another Q35 but antsy about mic problems encountered.

Title: The best bluetooth headphones I’ve heard for the price range
Review: Nowadays, I wouldn’t buy a pair of bluetooth headphones blindly (or deafly?) online unless it comes with an app that allows you to tweak the sound/EQ. There’s no point in spending money on a pair of headphones, only to not like the sound when they arrive. There are 3rd-party EQ phone apps, but those are sometimes dubious, plus they only work with the phone/tablet device being used at the time. It’s best to have the native headphone’s app do it within the headphones themselves, in which the custom EQ settings travel with the headphones to whatever device/system is being used — even those without the possibility of EQ apps. So with built-in EQ, you don’t have to worry as much about whether the headphones match your preferred sound profile — at least, to a point, since some things like soundstage and the “feel” of open vs. closed headphones can’t be customized, although the “Transparency” app settings sort of emulate the latter a bit, albeit via noise cancellation.These headphones come with a really good app for configuring most things (with one feature request down below*), including the EQ, noise cancelation, volume limiter, firmware updates, etc. You can also configure the headphones to auto-power-off if not in-use after 30/60/90/120 minutes or “never” (default is 60 minutes). The 8-band EQ has a 21 presets (or 22 if you count the “BassUP” on/off toggle on their “sound core Signature” preset), along with allowing to create/save multiple custom EQ profiles. The app finds and connects to the headphones immediately with both my Pixel 7 and Pixel 3 (which I now use as just a tiny tablet, since it only has WiFi). I only have Android phones, so I can’t speak for the iPhone app, but I’d guess that it is the same, other than the LDAC stuff (which Apple devices don’t support, and will default to AAC). Note that these headphones don’t support any aptX protocols, so your options are LDAC/AAC/SBC for Android devices and AAC/SBC for Apple devices (both phones and computers). My computer is an Apple MacBook Air M1, so I can vouch for the AAC connection on that, although when sitting at my computer, I prefer using my wired headphones (Beyerdynamic 880’s). But overall, I am liking these Q45’s more than my Sennheiser HD 350BT bluetooth headphones.I don’t really use noise cancelation, so I can’t speak to that in subjective terms, and so keep in mind that my rating does not take into account noise cancellation. But in terms of features, it has a lot of customization, with both traditional NC modes (with five custom levels plus adaptive/automated) as well as separate transparency modes (with five custom levels plus “talk” mode). But even with the NC turned off (“Normal” setting), the headphones actually block-out quite a bit of noise naturally, since they seem to form an almost air-tight suction.The battery seems to last long too. I’m a person that re-charges any device before it goes below 60%, so I can’t say how long a full battery drain lasts, but I go quite awhile between charges nonetheless, even using LDAC (which uses more battery). In AAC/SBS mode (not LDAC), probably slightly better than my Sennheiser HD 350BT’s, while in LDAC mode, probably a bit worse (but only a bit).For comfort, I find these very comfortable with prolonged use.I just bought a new Pixel 7 phone (w/Android 13), and the bluetooth w/LDAC works extremely well with this phone/headphone combo, with no connectivity issues under reasonable use, even when LDAC is forced to 990kbps. The headphones also connect to the phones fairly quickly. In terms of holding the connection w/LDAC, I live in a two-bedroom apt with each bedroom on opposite ends of the apt, separated by ~20 feet. I put the phone in the furthest corner of one bedroom, shut the door, and walked around the apt:–LDAC @990kbps: It worked fine without any skips up to ~30 feet away and through one wall (including door closed). I didn’t start to have skips until going into the other bedroom with its door also closed — so not until over 30 feet away and through two walls.–LDAC @660kbps: I couldn’t break it within my apt. No skips, even in the second bedroom with both bedroom doors closed — so it still worked at ~35 feet away and through two walls (including both doors closed).–I didn’t bother checking 330kbps, since 660kbps worked so well in all my scenarios.–LDAC Best Effort (Adaptive): Same behavior as @660kbps (never breaks/skips), which tells me that Android isn’t actually operating at @990kbps (either part of the time or never), even though the Android ADB logs always say @990kbps at initial connection with no subsequent changes. So at least partially, it is operating @660kbps or @330kpbs. But the vagueness of Adaptive LDAC mode isn’t the fault of these (or any) headphones — this is an Android issue. However, the choice to use Adaptive LDAC mode in the first place is controllable, which brings me to my one gripe below…*My one complaint/request for the app is that it could force-customize the LDAC settings. All it allows you to do is enable LDAC (Preferred auto quality) or disable LDAC (Combine audio and connection, which then defaults to AAC). In the Android Developer settings, it always defaults to “Best Effort/Adaptive”, which doesn’t tell you what it’s doing, even in the ADB logs, which only logs 990kbps at first connection, but never logs subsequent adaptive changes.There’s a Sony Music Center app that works for some people in forcing the LDAC bit rate mode, but when I tried it, it only worked around 50% of the time on both my Pixel 7 w/Android 13 and Pixel 3 w/Android 12, so I ended-up removing the app. But it apparently works for others, and if Sony can apparently force the LDAC settings within their app, why shouldn’t the SoundCore app be able to do it too? I’m sure I’m not the only one who would like the SoundCore app to force-customize the LDAC settings. Ideally, I’d like it to control the actual bit rate mode (ie, explicitly set it to 990kbps or 660kbps), as well as set the sample rate and bit size, since I don’t listen to music beyond 44.1kHz/16-bit anyway, and so I also like to down-tune the sample rate/bit size to 44.1kHz/16-bit, to save a bit of phone battery. But at the very least, the app should be able to force-set the main LDAC bit rate setting (990/660/330/adaptive), so we don’t have to go into the Android Developer settings every time the headphones re-connect. It’s a minor nuisance, but considering that LDAC is a major selling point of the headphones — you’d think they’d want to allow people to ensure ideal LDAC settings? Regardless, I’d still give these headphones five stars for the price range.

Review: El audio y cancelación de ruido increíble y la pila dura hasta 15 días

Review: Quise esperar a tener un mes con ellos para darles una buena reseña. La verdad el sonido es excelente no distorsiona ninguna cancion y los bajos son potentes. Si buscas meditar o simplemente relajarte su cancelacion de ruido es excelente no le pide nada a otros más costosos, y igual si quieres llevarlos por la Calle los puedes llevar con el modo transparencia sin ningun problema, escucharas todo con mucha más claridad a que vayas sin ellos.Lo único que recomiendo es que si no te gusta llamar la atención escojas un color menos llamativo por que el blanco SI se ve elegante pero si llaman mucho la atención, pero si eres de los que no les importa la verdad lo recomiendo mucho, son lindos y de muy muy buena calidad, no hay por que gastar más por lo mismo.

Review: Well, I have a very nice desktop set up with top shelf Hi-Fi Man and Audeze headphones driven by a Burson amplifier. So I like nice sound and have spent most of my life getting it.For Bluetooth stuff I have the AirPods Max and Sony WH-1000XM4 both over the ear headphones. For reasons needed not get into, I needed another set and didn’t want to spend allot of money. But I still wanted good sound. So I gambled on the Soundcore Q45 as they had good reviews and were on sale.I’m lovin these. For Bluetooth headphones they sound great. They are at least as good as my Sony WH-1000XM4, but with better comfort and build quality. And may I point you to the price of these!!Connectivity is as good as my AirPods Max to my iPhone. I turned them on and go. Really well done. I like the comfort and aesthetics to boot. Sound is great (for wireless). Noise cancelling and transparent modes are very good, but fall a tiny bit short of the AirPods Max. Not a dealbreaker by any means. Battery life is fantastic. The case is beautiful aesthetically and functional but very budget friendly. Again, not a dealbreaker. Can’t see anyone being disappointed with these. Good job Anker/Soundcore!Very highly recommended.

Review: Sono abbastanza esigente in termini di qualità musicale (meno per ANC). Ho delle Sennhiser momentun, che posso usare come paragone. La qualità del suono Sennhiser è superiore, non di molto ma è superiore. Costano anche 3 volte tanto, però. E la qualità è marginalmente superiore. Queste QC45 hanno una qualità assolutamente buona (quasi pari a Bose/Sony da 300 euro, un pelo sotto). Per qualità suono, quindi direi 10 per Sennhiser, 8.5 per Bose/Sony e 8 per queste. ANC buono, efficace (non posso valutarlo in modo preciso in quanto ho pochi termini di paragone, e non lo amo, quasi sempre lo disattivo ovunque). Autonomia spaventosa (oltre 50 ore senza ANC), connessione multipoint e stabilissima. Costruzione molto buona, con dettagli chiave in alluminio. Confortevoli come poche. In sostanza? Cuffie da 130 euro (100 in offerta) che rivaleggiano senza problemi con cuffie che costano il triplo. Le prenderei a occhi chiusi rispetto a Sony e Bose. Se invece siete audiofili (quindi scordatevi Spotify, ovviamente) e volete spendere 3.5 volte tanto, andare di Sennhiser. Anker, come sempre, una garanzia di qualità ottima e prezzo veramente basso
