Soundcore by Anker Life Q30

The Life Q30 is a perennial budget favorite, offering hybrid active noise cancellation with multiple modes (Transport, Outdoor, Indoor), solid 40-hour battery life, and a comfortable over-ear design. Sound is customizable via the Soundcore app's EQ presets. Build is mostly plastic but feels durable. For a very low price, they provide a genuine noise-canceling experience that far exceeds expectations, making them the best entry point for first-time ANC headphone buyers or those on an extremely tight budget who still want effective noise reduction.
