AKG N700NC M2 vs Anker Soundcore Life Q20

Although they have a slightly bass-rich sound profile, their extra thump and warmth don't bloat or muddy the rest of your mixes. Vocals and lead instruments are still clear and accurately reproduced, but if the extra bass is still a deal-breaker, you can fine-tune their sound using their app's parametric EQ and presets.

Everything sounds like it's meant to be there and is happening around me rather than just in my head. They are a little tight out of the box, but I'm sure they'll wear in. Overall, love love love these for my first big boy headphones.

I'm not sure what Razer was thinking with their ANC tuning. It doesn't even sound that bassy, just veiled, because of the low midrange also being raised. A charitable explanation would be that it was intended to compensate for the effects of pad wear, but headphones such as the aforementioned N700NC M2 show that the problem is avoidable by dynamically adjusting bass boost based on seal instead.

I currently have Anker Soundcore Life Q20's so anything worse or only slightly better at noise cancelling isn't worth it. 3. I have social anxiety so I would prefer for them not to stand out too much.

These headphones have a comfortable fit and feel well-built. Out of the box, they have a slightly bass-rich sound profile that delivers a touch of extra thump, punch, and boom to mixes. If you prefer a different sound, their companion app offers a parametric EQ and presets to help you customize their sound. They also deliver over 20 hours of continuous battery life, which should last through long days on the go

3. They don't fold up as small as the Sonys or even my ATs. This one alone is not worth docking a whole star, but it's the only other complaint I have. Carry-on space is so limited, and there's a pocket in my bag that the Sonys fit in, and these don't (not by much though)

If you need a closed headphone for home, you have other options that sound technically better for much cheaper like the EMU Teak. I guess this competes favorably with the Campfire Audio Cascade, but the Cascade has such a unique, bassy sound that I don’t see the Aeon capturing much of that market. I think the Aeon takes the middle ground so staunchly and fails in performing at its price level that I’ll be shocked if this doesn’t depreciate as the original Aeon does. This is, at best, a $400 headphone priced at $900

Not a deal breaker. TL;DR: So overall, I recommend these headphones if you are looking for a solid pair of cans at a reasonable price, KNOWING WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. These are not going to give you superior performance on any feature, except for battery life. They are definitely acceptable for what you're paying for, and so long as the build quality holds up, should meet your needs for a couple of years

AKG's N700NC M2 Wireless headphones may not roll off the tongue, but at $299 they cost far less than the Bose pair and deliver a stronger sound signature, with wonderful balance and more realistic bass. In terms of ANC, Bose still has the edge, but AKG is no slouch. So if audio performance is more important to you than noise cancellation, but you want both, these headphones are a compelling option.

say Anker Soundcore Life Q30 have good noise cancellation on par with much more expensive headphones plus they are cheap

So why would I buy headphones that cost almost 200 bucks?!? Not sure what happened but at some point, the older headphones got uncomfortable to wear and started digging into my skull. I bought the N7000's hoping the investment would be my last and because of confidence in Samsung products (I also have a Galaxy) and they'd be comfortable to wear, sight unseen. They came in a fancy box and had some basic cables and attachments. I would not need any of these except for the charging cable because, again, I only need to use them with my TV

I planned on sharing the play experience with some friends, so earbuds were out of the question for sanitary reasons. I wasn't looking for stupidly-expensive headphones to have to play some VR games, but wanted something decent so Beat Saber would sound better haha. Previously, I had bought these $15 Panasonic headphones that had banger reviews, but once they arrived, I put them on, turned on some music, and instantly boxed it back up. Trash

Callers said they could hear me well and I had no trouble hearing them. I also had no trouble pairing and re-pairing with an iPhone X and Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus. I experienced minimal Bluetooth glitches during my week or so of testing.I experienced solid battery life

Battery life is great, I’ve charged it just once since getting them. I also like the announcement through the device when you turn it on with the battery level.

GEN-1 have bigger space inside cup and the lessor clamping force make it unreasonably comfortable in a long session, even though I know I had to hold my head for drinking water. CM2 comes with a smaller cache pack. Yes, GEN-1 pack is bulky and I can feel it in my back pack. However I think GEN-1 pack is more premium and actually can protect the headset better

Battery life is pretty good. I can get through a six hour conference call marathon, but it'll leave me using laptop speakers and mic by the end of the day because you can't charge during use. Comfort is better than par. Anything under 4 hours at a stretch has been no problem for me
