One of the best semi-recent improvements we’ve seen to Bluetooth headphones—be they in-ear earbuds or the bulky over-the-ear variety—has been active noise cancellation. The ability to essentially turn off the world around you is a godsend when listening to music, audiobooks, or podcasts. This feature used to come at a premium, reserved exclusively for the top-of-the line models from the popular brands. But now? You can get a pair of headphones with ANC support for next to nothing.
Anker has its Soundcore Anker Q20i hybrid active noise cancelling headphones normally selling for $70. That’s already way lower than you’d expect to get this feature, but they’re actually on sale at the moment. Now at 36% off, you’ll end up saving a solid $25, meaning the ANC-enabled headphones will only cost you $45 for a limited time.
Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling
The Soundcore Anker Q20i headphones’ noise cancelling is powered by four microphones in total, two internal and two external. These all work in tandem to detect external noises and are able to reduce as much as 90% of the sounds that are happening around you, whether that is office chatter happening around your desk at work or the sounds of the train in motion during your morning or evening commute.
The headphones by Anker are equipped with oversized 40mm dynamic drivers that can produce detailed sound with thumping beats. Connect via an AUX cable to achieve even greater detail in what you listen to.
Battery life is supper solid. A single charge can provide you with up to 60 hours of listening time on a single charge. When listening with active noise cancellation enabled, you’ll be able to reach a playtime of as much as 40 hours. If you ever find yourself having forgotten to charge them, no need to worry. A quick five minutes plugged in can provide you with an additional four hours of listening time to help get you through your travels.
Anker even has its Q20i headphones available in an array of colors. There are five options to choose from including black, blue, pink, taupe, or white. Not every color is on sale for the same amount, though they all have some level of worthwhile discount. The taupe is still the most expensive at $50, which is still $20 less than usual. The most affordable are the black and the white which have come down by $25 to just $45 for a limited time.
