Okay, so I just got these Soundcore Q20i headphones and... wow? For the price, they're kinda insane.
First off, the noise cancellation actually works? Like, I was walking past construction and suddenly realized I couldn't hear the jackhammers. Magic. The transparency mode is cool too - feels like I've got super hearing when I need to be aware of my surroundings.
The bass is THICC. Like, almost too thicc out of the box. But the app lets you tweak it (and there's like 22 presets??). After some fiddling, I got my perfect sound profile.
Battery life is wild - been using them for 3 days straight without charging. And that 5-minute quick charge actually gives you hours of playtime? Sorcery.
Only gripe: the ear cushions could be deeper. My Dumbo ears get a bit warm after hours of use. But for under $100? Zero regrets.
