If I’ve learned one thing during this work-from-home phase of the pandemic, it’s that good headphones – particularly those with Active Noise Cancellation (aka ANC) – can really make a significant difference. To that end, I’ve been going through the Soundcore lineup, reviewing the Q20, the Q30 (and an update after a firmware release), and even had a go at their ANC earbuds, the Liberty Air 2 Pro. They’ve just released a new addition to their Life Q series – the Soundcore Life Q35.

In Review: Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro
A little bit ago, we brought you word of some rather exciting-sounding new earbuds from Anker. I’ve become a big fan of their over-ear ANC headphones (both the Q20 and the Q30), but I’ve had mixed success with how well ANC works in earbuds. So, of course we got a sample in, and I spent some time with it over the past few weeks to get a feel for the earbuds.

Introducing: Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro
You know us – we’re all about new headphones hitting the market. Some folks like earbuds, others like over-ear; some folks want wires, and others want to cut the cord. That’s why we like seeing new stuff come out – it’s likely hitting a sweet spot for someone who just hasn’t found the right one yet.

Back in October, we brought you word of the newly-announced Anker Soundcore Q30 ANC headphones.

So, how does the upgraded headset hold up? Read on to find out.

Introducing the Anker Soundcore Life Q30
Up until a few months ago, I wasn’t even aware what I missing out on by NOT using noise-cancelling headphones in this new work-from-home world. When I reviewed the Anker Soundcore Life Q20 (seen here), I was blown away by how well it killed background noise – both for me and for people on the other side of my calls. Well, Anker wasn’t going to sit on their laurels – and now, we’ve got the Anker Soundcore Life Q30 coming for our ears very soon.

Now Funding: The PaMu Quiet
As of late, I’ve gone from relying on whatever inexpensive earbuds I had kicking around to using a number of quality – but still affordable – headphones and earbuds. While I’m working, the over-ear work very, very nicely. While working out, though? I prefer earbuds. I’ve been using a true wireless set from PaMu (reviewed here). Lately, I’ve been trying out the PaMu Quiet, which have a few days left on their IndieGoGo campaign.

Cut out the noise with the Anker Soundcore Life Q20 headphones
Prior to COVID-19 days (remember those times? The precedented ones?), I had toyed with the idea of getting some active noice cancellation (ANC) headphones. As it turns out, the open plan workplace can be a bit distracting. I never quite got around to it, but it came up again with working from home, and just the day-to-day noise life in a house can contain. That’s where the Anker Soundcore Life Q20 headphones came in.
