Review: The best bluetooth headphones I've heard for the price range - 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: Great Value - For the price, this is a great headphone. Sound quality is higher than I expected. These are light and the ear pads are comfortable, even with glasses. I really like the multiple Bluetooth connectivity but do wish that I could manually select which input I want. Do note that this headset will okay only one of the connected devices, it does not mix them. Range is great and the battery life is too. The noise cancelling is OK, plenty for my use. The pass-through is good too but not the best. These offer a great mid-to-high resolution but any significant bass will take some of that quality away. I've been wearing them daily for about 6 months for work and have received no complaints over microphone quality or connectivity issues when using the microphone. The value recieved at this price point would be difficult to beat with other options.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these less bassy than the soundcore q35?**
A: Yes I have both headphones and the q45’s are less bassy than the q35s thankfully. I set my q45s on the acoustic preset in the app and get amazing sound for all types of music. The noise cancellation on the q45s is also far superior than the q35s

**Q: I have the q30. is the q45, double the price, significantly better re sound quality, anc, or battery life?**
A: Regarding your concerns, yes, the Space Q45 headphone has some improvements in sound quality, noise canceling, and battery life than Life Q30. If you have any questions, please contact us by clicking the "Contact Seller" link for further assistance.

**Q: What's the difference btn q45 noise cancelling and the q30?**
A: I have the Q30 then purchased the Q45. The Q45 has a much better noise-canceling ability. I compared it to Sony and it's close to that performance.

**Q: Do these provide sidetone when on a call?  i.e. can you hear your own voice back through the speakers when you talk?**
A: Thanks for your question. When you turn on Transparency mode in calls, your voice will be more clearly captured and conveyed to you. If you have any questions, please contact us by clicking the "Contact Seller" link for further assistance.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitely buy on sale
*by A***N on April 5, 2026*

The soundcore q35 Bluetooth headphones are good for the price I paid. They cancel background noise very well and the battery lasts quite a long time. The sound quality is good and it has an app that lets you tweak the equalizer settings to something that you like. I wouldn't say that they're the best quality in terms of bass or for watching movies but they work well. The microphone on the headphones seem to work well, I haven't gotten a complaint from people who I've called yet. A few drawbacks is it takes a long time to charge. A decent trade off for the long battery life. There are plenty of buttons that control stuff but without the instructions, I've already forgotten what they do. That's a personal problem though. The noise cancelling functions can be a bit problematic due to the fact that your range of noticing things becomes vision based. I was watching a movie and received a text informing me that the weather was getting very bad. I took my headphones off and finally heard the storm and tornado sirens. So, if you use the noise cancelling function, which can be controlled from the app, be aware of your surroundings. Overall, I got these on sale and I love them. I only use them at home and have not had any issues with them.
