Ars Technica
Today’s dealmaster is headed by a nice discount on Anker’s Soundcore Life Q30: the noise-canceling wireless headphones are currently up to $ 68 at Amazon. This is a $ 12 discount on the regular pair’s online rate and less than $ 5 above the lowest price I’ve watched so far.
We highlighted a similar deal at the beginning of the year and we still consider the Soundcore Life Q30 to be an impressive value. While the Q30 doesn’t match the build quality or raw noise cancellation power of a more expensive pair from Sony or Bose, the Q30 offers a comfy and comfortable design, an excellent battery life of about 40 hours, USB-C charging, device connectivity and physical controls. Its sound is deep by default and absolutely not for audio purists, but the signature can be modified and customized through its accompanying application. And while the active noise cancellation is far from the loudest I’ve seen, it’s still capable enough to adjust everyday sounds, especially considering its price.
If you don’t need a new pair of headphones, however, our offer summary also has deals on Fitbit activity trackers, indoor security cameras, the latest Call of Duty game, top wireless gaming mice and for the office, and much more. You can take a look at the full list below.
