Good noise canceling headphones don’t need to cost a fortune, and Anker’s Soundcore range keeps proving it. The Soundcore Q31i is down to $64.99 on Amazon, which is $25 (28%) off its $89.99 list price and the lowest price it has hit since launching earlier this year.
Battery life is the headline feature. The Soundcore Q31i is rated at up to 50 hours with noise canceling on and up to 80 hours with it off, so most people will only need to charge it every week or two. When you do forget, a 10 minute top up gives you about 10 hours of playback.
It’s also one of the more capable headphones at this price for sound quality. Alongside SBC and AAC, the Q31i supports LDAC for higher quality streaming from compatible Android phones, and it uses Bluetooth 6.0. Anker rates the noise canceling at up to 37dB of reduction, which is plenty for commutes, flights, and noisy offices. You can tweak settings and keep the firmware up to date through the Soundcore app.
The Soundcore Q31i has a 4.4 star rating on Amazon. If you want long battery life and LDAC support without paying flagship prices, it’s a great pick for a commute or as a gift. Our sister site SoundGuys covered it at $79.99 in September, so this price is a clear step lower.
