Our quick verdict
Huge battery and solid noise cancelling for very little money. Turn the bass down in the app and they’re a brilliant budget pick.

- Anyone on a tight budget

- Students
Skip it if
- You want a premium look and feel

Soundcore’s Q30 has been a budget favourite for years: hybrid noise cancelling with three modes, a very long battery life and a companion app to tune the sound.

- Up to 40 hours with ANC on
- Hi-Res capable 40 mm drivers
- Soft protein-leather earcups
What reviewers say
Reviewers say the noise cancelling and battery life punch well above the price, and the app makes it easy to tune the sound.
The default sound is very bass-heavy and the design looks and feels budget.
