Comparison to others and some objective measurement and other info here: https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/anker/soundcore-space-q45-wireless

Have a look at the frequency response and Neutral Sound summary:

> The Anker Soundcore Space Q45 aren't the best choice for neutral sound out of the box. They have a pretty v-shaped sound profile with extra thump, rumble, and boom, as well as bright and sparkly sibilants. However, they also have a peak in their high-mid, which makes vocals and instruments sound harsh, while the dip in the low-treble veils their details. Luckily, you can adjust their sound to suit your tastes using their companion app's graphic EQ and presets. They also support LDAC codec if you want to stream hi-res audio.

I have these and like them. Audio was very good for the price but the cups and band wore very quickly when wearing for a 45 min walk/subway commute.

There is also this review which seems to concur overall. I don’t know much about “Sound Guys” though. Strange that they have a pretty scathing write up but then rate the sound quality at 9.6 in their table at the top. Make of that what you will. Seems inconsistent and misleading to me.

> The Anker Soundcore Space Q45 sound quality is probably the headset’s biggest issue. It’s not all terrible, most users will get used to the headset’s sound after a few minutes of use, but it doesn’t hold up next to other options on the market. The frequency response curve deviates noticeably from our ideal target curve across all areas of the frequency spectrum. The sub-bass is slightly exaggerated, the midrange depressed slightly, and the higher frequencies are besieged by an undulating change in response that causes high-end elements in music to sound hissy, betraying the accuracy of the playback.

I don't have personal experience with these headphones but I've heard/seen some amazing reviews about them. People comparing them to Sony wh-1000xm4 and stuff and they say these headphones can keep up with those. Again not from personal experience but I don't think you can't go wrong with them especially not for the price.

It’s important to note that anker probably has the best app, comes with a proper eq and once you set it once it stays embeded on the headphones

The first and last Soundcore headphones I got (basically an older model of these) were discarded because the earcups came fully apart after less than a year and weren't removable or replaceable. I am not hard on my headphones, I've never had an issue like that before. Use that information how you will.

Sad because I usually love Anker, their Motion+ speaker may be the best portable Bluetooth speaker on the market, and I've used their batteries and charging cables for literally a decade

If I were you I would look at the Bluetooth headphones made by Sennheiser

How long have you had them

I have the Q30 and they are very enjoyable with AutoEq , they cost 60 euros but I wouldn't pay so much for a Anker headphone considering you can buy a HD560s refurbished for less than that or the momentum 3 for almost the same price , also sennheiser refurbished

A couple of months now. I shave my head so the 2 day stubble is probably scraping the band. I like the sound in these better than the Q30. I got the Q30 2 yrs ago and they're still going strong. If you commute the ANC is very good for sub $300 cans. I did have to use the EQ to bring the highs down a bit, otherwise artists like Florence & the Machine and Metric were too piercing.

I’ve tried them against other more expensive Bluetooth headphones. Objectively they’re not as good. That’s obvious since they’re cheaper than for example Sennheiser Momentum 4 but for what you pay, you get a great sounding, very usable Bluetooth headphone

Quite nice, I found the headband uncomfortable. I did send them back because I got a great deal on some XM5's. They are decent though for the cash.

They don't. They are good for the money though.
