Amazon is selling Soundcore noise cancelling headphones as cheap as $40

By Michael Bizzaco Published September 7, 2024

When it comes to noise-cancelling headphones, you’ll want to invest in a set of cans that sound great, last a long time, and deliver an exceptional ANC experience. Fortunately, there are numerous headphone and earbud brands to choose from, though this can also make the choosing process a bit more daunting. That’s why we always have our eyes peeled for good headphone deals to notify you about, which is precisely what we’re going to do right now:

Today, you’ll be able to purchase both the Soundcore Q20i and Soundcore Life Q30 noise-cancelling headsets on Amazon for discounted prices.

Soundcore Q20i — $40, were $60

Delivering up to 40 hours of battery life with ANC enabled, the Soundcore Q20i is a budget-friendly pair of headphones that just got even cheaper. Available in black, blue, and white, the Q20i uses a hybrid ANC system composed of two internal and three external mics to effectively cancel out up to 90% of the noise you don’t want to hear. Plus, the sound quality is through the roof on these cans, thanks to Soundcore’s 40mm dynamic drivers that bring a pretty wide soundstage to the table (especially for the price).

You’ll also be able to download the Soundcore app to customize your headphone EQ, change between noise canceling modes, and activate one of Soundcore’s many white noise tracks.

Soundcore Life Q30 — $56, were $80

Coming to you in black, pink, and blue, the Soundcore Life Q30 keeps the 40-hour battery life (with ANC enabled) that the Q20i delivers while giving you a boost in the noise cancelling department. This headsets’ onboard mics are even better at killing the noise, reducing unwanted sound by up to 95% in most cases. We’re also big fans of the memory foam earcups, which allows you to wear these cans for long periods without discomfort.

We’re not sure exactly how long these Amazon markdowns are going to last, so now is always the best time to buy if you’re interested in one or both offers. Save $20 on the Soundcore Q20i and $24 on the Soundcore Life Q30 when you order through Amazon, and be sure to check out some of the other Amazon deals we found today.

Anker’s Soundcore Sleep A20 earbuds are next-level sleep aids to block out noise

Anker Soundcore Sleep A20 earbuds worn while sleeping on side

If you had asked me years ago what kind of earbuds I'd be wearing while I sleep, I would have called you crazy. To sleep, I need silence, and anytime someone has a TV or tablet on or makes any noise, it makes me restless. With two kids and a wife who are all loud sleepers, it's safe to say I often have trouble sleeping. Believe it or not, there are earbuds for that. Anker's Soundcore Sleep A20 TWS earbuds, for example, are the second generation of its sleep-aid product. They're specifically designed to be worn while you sleep, thanks to a sleek form factor that doesn't protrude out of your ears or create discomfort while resting your pretty little head -- they're meant for side sleepers.

They also purportedly offer much more substantial snoring reduction than the previous generation via soft ear tips and ear wings that help block out ambient noise. If you like a little background audio, they pair with a mobile device that’s using the Soundcore app and allow you to play sound effects to serenade your slumber. A 4-point noise masking system uses not just the twin-seal ear tips and wings but also masking sounds and smart volume controls to drown out distracting noises. If you snore or your partner snores, it won't wake you up anymore as long as you're wearing these.
