For the price they are fantastic. Once you dial in a proper EQ it’s hard to beat for 3x the price. This is for non flac hi res stuff like Spotify, podcasts I must say.
Definitely. In hindsight I undersold them, because they’re a great deal and very solid headphones. I’ve been using mine for three years, and very much glad I have them.
The ANC is superb. When I travel on planes they beat my Sony Link Buds S earphones hands down. And they cost me £120. Different use cases I must admit.
Quick story, I used them while on holiday while they were doing building work next door at 5am. Loud skips and building materials. I slept like a baby for 12 hours with them on, a different story. Everyone else was complaining about being woken up.
I’m a wired headphones guy, semi or open back. Sens, Bayer, Focal etc. For the road these Q20 cans are a steal.
I haven’t had this problem, but I have a different use case (mine are three years old, but stay in my office all the time). They don’t strike me as great wear-and-tear headphones, though, for what it’s worth.
Incidentally, I prefer isolating in-ear earbuds without ANC for commuting; I like to be at least somewhat aware of ambient sounds.
I would imagine that active noise cancellation is out for under $50. You’re stuck with passive noise cancelation if you want something with halfway acceptable sound. AKA, something that basically just plugs your ears so you can’t hear anything else.
Nose cancelling headphones
OMFG, my fucking nose is gone!

Where can I get Nose cancelling headphones? I could do with some dog is old, and his farts are a biological weapon.

Under $50?
You can get Soundcore Life Q20 for under $50 when they’re on sale. They’re not amazing, but they’re pretty good.

I have a pair, really can’t complain, they’re pretty damn solid

Mine scrapped out on me after 8 months of daily commuting

Highly recommend Tozo brand for cheap but effective.
