Whether you're traveling or working in a noisy office, it's easy to escape the outside world with a great pair of noise-canceling headphones. It used to be that you had to spend quite a bit of money on a pair of ANC headphones from the likes of Bose or Sony, but that's definitely not the case today, thanks to companies like popular accessory-maker Anker.
The excellent Anker SoundCore Life Q30 headphones normally sell for around $80 in black, but you can buy them Just $64 If you order soon and remember to clip the on-screen coupon. Other colors are available with the same 20% discount, but with a slightly higher starting price. Keep this in mind if you'd prefer a blue or pink pair.
Regardless of the color you choose, the headphones can filter out 95% of low-frequency ambient sound, promising up to 40 hours of music listening. Turn off the active noise cancellation and you'll bump it up to 60 hours, while a 5-minute top-up will give you an extra four hours of listening time.
As CNET's resident headphone expert David Carnoy found in his testing, “As far as sound, comfort levels, and build quality are concerned, for the money you'll be hard-pressed to do better than Anker's Soundcore Life Q30.” The clarity or bass definition isn't on par with premium Bose or Sony models, but these headphones offer balanced sound overall and only fall short in microphone quality for voice calls.
With the kind of features you'd expect from much higher-priced headphones, the Anker Soundcore Life Q30 headphones are a great choice for those looking for noise-canceling headphones under $100 — especially When you can get them at even lower prices. Looking for something a little different? No problem, our list of the best headphone deals should have something to suit your needs.
