I tested them for a while before returning them.

I like the studier build, the proper depth in the earcups, and the software features they added/improved. The worst parts about the q45 are the lack of headband padding and the lack of earcup swivel.

Sound-wise, I'd categorize them as sounding cold/unnatural. A bit of a tricky one to EQ since there are a lot of narrow peaks/dips. IMO, if you're using the app EQ I wouldn't touch the bands over 800 Hz.

For the price and brand, I like Soundcore because they punch above their price and they're lenient with the warranty. Though there is a privacy concern with Anker and Eufy.

The q45 is a good purchase, though you might want to buy a headband cushion and experiment with some EQ if you're not happy with the sound.

The headband doesn't bother me, but the fact that the earpads are glued is frustrating. I found some decent eq settings on the internet and so far I am happy with the sound.
