By far the best review so far. Maybe the only real review actually - most are just bad, annoying commercials, polluting RUclips. You're also a pleasant guy, and pleasant to listen to. Thanks!
Just got a pair for 99$ , they have very good build quality, noise cancelling is more than decent and battery life is amazing , at 99$ these are a must have !!!
well considering the price, it makes sense as wear detection is sometimes very difficult to get right such as in the case of B&W headphones, and it might require a lot of testing and time, at least the build quality improved
@@Jiggy609 I totally get what you mean! I went headphone hunting this week and so many new models have the "circle sticking out". I guess people seem to like it since they just keep making it
I loved the q30, and as a plus they came in clutch during the pandemic. I would secure the face mask to the headphones thanks to the design. I used them 5 days a week for extended hours since launch, because the environment I work in is loud, and they are still kicking. Had to buy the q45 almost immediately after getting the email.
Just ordered the Q45's using your link and coupon code. I think using your link is important so you can get credit for the purchase, you are my most trusted reviewer. Going to have the A40's and Q45's now and saved $50 total using the coupon code for both, not too bad. Upgrading from my Q30's, they are moving to my computer from my big screen.
Im turning 14 on September 5th and am getting these for my birthday gift, all these reviews are making me pumped for these! Good video as always btw, entertaining and informative.
@@Bagel937 thank you, i got them on my birthday and they sound so good! definitley recommend for any casual listeners who wear headphones around the house often
Wearing noise cancelling headphones worked like magic for me, I was the tyoe to get distracted by my peripheral vision and hearing. Soundcore gave me an affordable option for that.
Great review. One thing that a lot of reviewers are not addressing is the difference in padding on the headband itself. On the Q35, there is a lot of padding making it comfortable to wear for long periods of time but in Q45, they reduced that padding to almost non-existent level and it does make a difference when you wear it.
The Q45 still have alot of padding, it is just more stiff and you have to "break" them down and you will be fine. But I agree the Q35 are more comfortable.
The lack of padding on the headband doesn't bother me at all. The padding around the ear cups is so much, it kind of compinsates for the lack of padding on the headband at least for me.
@@ELJefeReviews Thanks for the responce. As a friendly reminder, please post updates for scared buyers like me. Bought them because of you! Much respect, mr. Jefe!
I watched this video when it first came out and was toying with Apple AirPods Max. Since then, I didn't do anything because, I have been happy with my Q35s. The beauty of my use case is that I can use the 3.5mm plug on my sound system and then i use noise cancelling when I play drums. I am in a glass cage so, the sound is deafening without ANC. The Q35s held up quite well BUT Amazon had a sale on the 45's for 100.00 so, I grabbed them. I am going to probably be laughed at for saying this but, my experience thus far is that the Q35s have a better sound output than the Q45s. I am glad to have them but, not overly excited. So, if you listen to the end of the video where he suggests that if you have the 35s already that you will not need this "upgrade." He is correct - you do not need them. I am going to hold on to them and wait for the 35 battery to die but, it was not worth the purchase. Also, he says that if you need an over the ear and do not have anything, this is where you need to be. Right on target, as usual.
These are absolutely awesome. I have a soundcore space Q 45 and model of the space Q 45 that I have. Does it have it where you can listen to them without them being on when you plug it into an ox cable. I am blind and autistic, and I use them as noise, canceling headphones to help with my autism, and for that they work beautifully. I am amazed at how well noise is canceled out by soundcore and how things are done in that department. I love all the features that they have and really liked it. You can change the sound quality. Ever since I started using soundcore, I have a lesson anxiety and less issues when it comes to behavior and I haven’t been having irritable bowel syndrome issues as much as I did with other headphones that I’ve used when I’ve listen to them. This is all because they cancel out noise well enough that I can focus, although they do not completely cancel out noise. But the good thing is that you can’t swim out enough to where I can focus and calm down and be able to think and stop a meltdown from occurring. Sometimes they don’t work and they don’t help but most of the time we do. I used to use soundcore‘s wife tune Headphones, which were the beginning of my soundcore journey. I am trying out other companies so that way I have other options besides just sound core. But all in all the sound core headphones are a life changer for me and a big game changer when it comes to my life with autism. I would say kudos to soundcore for a great product and a somewhat durable one. The life tunes I don’t think are as durable as the space Q 45. It does help that they have the aluminum large hinge on them. Now if somebody can get soundcore to send me a free extra set of headphones, that would be awesome because I’ve been trying to get, the insurance that I have to cover my headphones under medical devices. I meant cancel it out, and I meant the word that not dead. I also meant life not wife. Sometimes my voice dictation thinks I’m trying to say something else other than what I am trying to say. It’s because of the way, my speech is as part of my autism. So bear with me on the typos.
Wouldn't buy the Q45 now as my Q30 is still going hard. More than 2 years and it's still sounding like when it was brand new. Best headphones I've owned. Comfortable, great sound, awesome EQ modes and I've paid way less than it was regularly announced for as it was Black Friday when I bought it. Still impresses many people who use them for their first time, including a friend of mine who owns the Sony XM3 and beyond mad because of how much cheaper the Q30 was in comparison, and held its own against the Sony.
Hey man, a fellow Q30 user here approaching the 3 years mark. I love em to bits but my cups recently started tearing up and the spongey parts are now visible. Do you have any solution in mind?
Anker sells cups replacements for very cheap, recently got mine and it feels brand new again. There are also offbrand sellers but I had no reason to go for them since they weren't cheaper lol
First of all, thanks for the great and professional review. The other reviewers are advertising agents :) The headphones arrived yesterday and I have mixed impressions of them. Anker always adds something, but also takes something away. The sound is cleaner and less bassy compared to the Q30, but flat when the ANC is on. I hope an update will resolve this. The Q35 had the same sound issues. I don't know why the touch sensor on the right earpiece was removed, also the auto pause music sensors, missing NFC and I miss the "superior sleep" a bit. I don't understand why Anker is removing proven features! Are they keeping it for the Q55? ANC is improved, but weaker compared to the Sony XM3 and the sound is not as good as the Sony either. So like you said, upgrading from Q30 and Q35 is nonsense, for a new customer a must :)
I love the pale pink color at Q35, so i wish it will be release the pink one at Q45 and I will buy for sure... I love soundcores, budget and high quality performance. I always bought at Amazon, and i sell it here in the Philippines. I gonna say soundcore here is worth buying where Filipinos hit the taste of soundcore. I already got q20, q20+, q30, q35, q45! I sold 2pcs of q20+, 1pc of q20, and q35. Im using my q30, and on hand of Q45... All are good.... :)
Anker sent me an updated firmware (v 02.16) for my headphones that fixes the sound issues. For now, it's a beta version. The bass is more pronounced, but the sound is still different and flatter when the ANC is on. It's definitely an improvement though. So we'll see if it gets even better in the official update.
@@erhmmmmcat1 I have beta version 2.17, but officially the last one is about 2.13, every week they write me that they will release an update, but still nothing.
@@mikebenjamin1703 Yes, but this is a feature of all headphones, noise can be heard even in premium models, e.g. jbl everest elite 750nc or Sony WH-1000 XM3. It doesn't bother me.
The Space Q45 headphones and they are excellent! ANC right up there with the best- and 50 hour battery life. I also have the Space A40's earbuds and they are also great! Great ANC! Excellent battery life- close to 8.5 hours with ANC on. I recommend both of these highly!
A good song to listen to for checking out the sound on earbuds or headphones is The Package by A Perfect Circle. It's got good bass punchy drums great vocals and guitar. It will really give what you're testing a good test
Finally someone who talks about the latency in videos. THANK YOU! :) I watched nearly every review about these headphones but barely someone talked about how the latency is while watching videos.
Mic sounds good. No passive listening is weird, sometimes I run the battery out and this is mainly why I use the AUX cable. The much cheaper Q30 has it. Lack of touch controls is also weird, why do you it when you already have the tech? Cutting corners? Feels like Q30 were too good for their price and Soundcore is unable to justify a big increase in price for future models. Remember how they removed ANC in wired mode retroactively, as if to make a feature exclusive to Q35?
As a user of Space Q45, it definitely has passive listening via Aux/audio jack. That’s why it has an audio jack port on the right cup. It can be listened when powered off. I think El Jefe made a mistake here? And Q45 can also do ANC while in wired mode.
The ear cups are not breathable and sometimes there's a shift in the way they sound when the pressure inside is released esp when walking or running. Overall, I love them. Anker nailed it....i just wish the earcups had more breathing space.
Hey Jefe, just order a pair of these for 76 pounds in the UK, super excited to get them. Apparently a update means you can use hear ID with them now which was a game changer for my liberty 3 pros
@@whu1001hey man I got mine "certified refurbished" off eBay for that price, they came directly from soundcore and were in as new condition sealed box I couldn't tell they were not new at all) but they are discounted pretty regularly on Amazon as well new down to like 110 pounds
Just got to point that I’ve had mine for quite a while now and yes you can do passive listening with these power off. I do so all the time while watching movies and playing games. You’re right by the way, that aux cable soundcore provided is crap so I bought my own separate.
That happened with the _passive hearing_ as well. *_Soundcore listens._* So glad the *Hear ID* has been added, since my *Q45's* arrive today. Was going to get *Q35's* until I saw *Q45's* were on sale for $99 (that appears to be over by the time of this comment). *EDIT:* Somewhat related, I've had some truly exceptional customer service¹ with *Soundcore.* But, as with all things, your mileage may vary. ··•●✺●•·· ¹ ─ Having contacted them via email, in case the distinction matters. 🤷🏼♂️
Dear El Jefe. Thanks a lot for your great and very friendly reviews. I just want to let you know that I bought these Soundcore Space Q45 in part bc of you and must tell you that THEY DO HAVE PASSIVE LISTENING with the cable without turning themselves on The one thing I notice is that with the cable the music quality seems to diminish instead of improve. Perhaps I have an updated version, I don't know but I'm happy to say this. Once again, thank you for your recomendations :)
@@hugonorival9609 I love it so far. Really good quality and I couldn’t really tell the difference between the q45 and my Bose. I went on a 2 week vacation and it lasted on one charge
Great review! I just purchased these, can't wait to pick them up tomorrow. I am upgrading from the Soundcore Life Q10 which has worn down from heavy use. Thank you! :)
As usual great review and full detail on what these offer. I still keeping to my Q30, I know the LDAC is a nice option, but I was hoping this time they would allow us to swap out the ear pads, was looking forward to using some velour pads with them.
Omg I nearly brought the Q30 I even asked Soundcore if they had any new products coming but they could not reply properly as I think they still needed customers to buy they existing products
The information is under embargo. The employs are not allowed to give out that info prior to the public announcement. So it's less that they want you to buy older products, and more that they're not allowed to say anything even if they wanted to.
I purchased these headphones about 2 weeks ago. I have to say as far as the sound goes and yes I have adjusted The equalizer as much as I can for me I'm a bass head. So with that in mind you would think that these headphones would be perfect but I will be honest they're not that great on base I have to actually listen to an electronic song or some hip hop or rap just to get the base to come in. And on the kind of person that listens to 80s 90s and some heavy metal music with that in mind I like to hear a lot of meds and a lot of trouble unfortunately with these headphones when you put the mids and treble up the base is basically non-existent. Now the microphone I find is perfect the fit is pretty perfect too the headband on top of the head is a little uncomfortable after about an hour or two. Now another thing too if you're someone who doesn't like Bass then the sound quality of these headphones is going to be perfect for you because they really do sound amazing but again there is just little to no bass
The no passive listening is also a thing in q35 too right? Because i face it too. Also correct me if i am wrong below. Some advantages of the q35 over q45 - • The wear sensor weirdly exists in the older (not so older) q35 • The 3.5mm cable has an angled jack and is about 124cm long for the older one. • The q35 apparently sound very similar to the q45 (according to a review by "Brannon No D") • q35 also has NFC (idk if the q45 has it) • Also the q35 has touch control similar to the xm4 for noise cancellation/transperancy/normal • Also i get an airplane adapter in the q35 • you can get them for $89 during sale (which i did) or a regular price of $104 • Also you can use two devices in dual connect using LDAC. Some advantages of the q45 - • q45 has 3 mics and the q35 has 2 mics on each cups. • 4 hours in 4 minutes vs the 4 hours in 5 minutes of the q35 • 50 hours of total instead of 40 hours of q35. Also P.S.A - Dont plug your q35 to the airplane using the wired cable soundcore advises against that (although we get one in the box)
Thanks for a great review and the comment on this feature summary comparison between Q35 and Q45! I am trying to justify spending the extra $70 CAD for the Q45 for a 7 hour flight to Europe. Is it worth it or is the Q35 going to be just fine?
@@DanVanDamme the q35 is better infact as it has dual connection in ldac mode which the q45 lacks lol. And it also has the wear sensor which the q45 doesn't have and so does nfc which exists in the 35 and not 45 also the q35 has an airplane adapter.
Great video man. I have lots of headphones but this are my everyday ones. No problem with them. Actually sound better than my sennhiser pcx 550, love watching your vids, keep them coming please? 💯👍👌👌
I just ordered a pair!! They should be arriving in 2-3 days which I’m excited for, I came from the AirPods Max but after 2 years they simply stopped working, and since the apple care was also over their solution was to get a new pair since according to them, they can’t fix them 💀💀 I didn’t want to spend any extra so overall these seem like the best value for money 👏🏼🙏🏼
Oh yeah i have my answer… go with the senn momemtum 4 😃😃 sir, i see link below the title that direct us to amazon. My question is: do you have an avantage if we buy headphones by your link ? If yes, i will use these link for sennheiser :) I have big attempt for those momemtum 4… hope they will deliver what i expect :) I know i said that often, but man, you do such an awesome job !! Your opinions on products are always excellent, easy to understand (yeah, even if i speak french) ! So, god bless you my friend, and continue your excellent job !!!
Pretty nice review man , I'm new to your channel so good work. I loke soundcore but there customer service sucks in the sense that they don't know how there own products work. Long story short I bought liberty pro 3 due to nice reviews, I was trying to listen to aac with my earbuds and went thru owner options and changed from aac to ldac and it wasn't working on both samsung devices. So I called customer service and emailed. Customer service didn't know there own products enough to tell me how to do this process which is quite simple and should be known by there representatives. The issue was in the soundcore app you have to download drivers and wala it works. They had me send in BRAND NEW earbuds for warranty bc they couldn't advise me how to use ldac and sent me back REFURBISHED earbuds when they never needed to be replaced bc they couldn't walk thru there own products options , just sub par to me pissed that they did this. Brand new doesn't =REFURBISHED and nothing was wrong with them in first place just incompetent customer service
Thanks for sharing your experience. They definitely need to tighten that up. I'd rather wait longer for an informed response than get a quick reply with bad info.
Quick question. How do they go against the older wh 1000xm4. I've been eyeing the sonys and the anker so it would be appreciated if you can respond. Great vid btw
Thanks for video. I have Q35, and for me this product is very good. Mic quality in my opinion is not very good. In yours video the best mic has Sony and Sennheiser. Almost perfect.

I watched so many biased reviews of this your the only one who mentioned that passive listening only works if this is turned on
kudos bruh
Glad I could help!
Bought a pair and they are really good for the price.
Anker sent me an updated firmware (v 02.16) for my headphones that fixes the sound issues. For now, it's a beta version. The bass is more pronounced, but the sound is still different and flatter when the ANC is on. It's definitely an improvement though. So we'll see if it gets even better in the official update.
I hope it improves.
Any update?
@@erhmmmmcat1 I have beta version 2.17, but officially the last one is about 2.13, every week they write me that they will release an update, but still nothing.
@@hemendex do you get a hissing noise when the ANC is set to max?
@@mikebenjamin1703 Yes, but this is a feature of all headphones, noise can be heard even in premium models, e.g. jbl everest elite 750nc or Sony WH-1000 XM3. It doesn't bother me.
The Space Q45 headphones and they are excellent! ANC right up there with the best- and 50 hour battery life. I also have the Space A40's earbuds and they are also great! Great ANC! Excellent battery life- close to 8.5 hours with ANC on. I recommend both of these highly!

Appreciate you coming through bro!
Just ordered them. Appreciate the discount bro!
Right on bro!
@@ELJefeReviews that sweet, sweet, affiliate link revenue 💰💰💰🤑
@@ELJefeReviews I also bought the q30s for myself. Because... Reasons 😏
A good song to listen to for checking out the sound on earbuds or headphones is The Package by A Perfect Circle. It's got good bass punchy drums great vocals and guitar. It will really give what you're testing a good test
I appreciate the recommendation!
Listening on my Q35. Slamming track - literally pounding my head😁🤘
Really enjoyed watching your lovely video. A big thumbs up from Chris and Jane 👍👍👍🎉
Thank you!
Finally someone who talks about the latency in videos. THANK YOU! :) I watched nearly every review about these headphones but barely someone talked about how the latency is while watching videos.
Mic sounds good.
No passive listening is weird, sometimes I run the battery out and this is mainly why I use the AUX cable. The much cheaper Q30 has it.
Lack of touch controls is also weird, why do you it when you already have the tech? Cutting corners?
Feels like Q30 were too good for their price and Soundcore is unable to justify a big increase in price for future models. Remember how they removed ANC in wired mode retroactively, as if to make a feature exclusive to Q35?
As a user of Space Q45, it definitely has passive listening via Aux/audio jack. That’s why it has an audio jack port on the right cup. It can be listened when powered off. I think El Jefe made a mistake here?
And Q45 can also do ANC while in wired mode.
The ear cups are not breathable and sometimes there's a shift in the way they sound when the pressure inside is released esp when walking or running. Overall, I love them. Anker nailed it....i just wish the earcups had more breathing space.
I also like acoustic EQ! I am waiting for these to go on sale. Going from Q35 to Q45!
Smart move. These always get big discounts in November.
I ordered mine yesterday's and I can't wait to use them
Hey Jefe, just order a pair of these for 76 pounds in the UK, super excited to get them. Apparently a update means you can use hear ID with them now which was a game changer for my liberty 3 pros
Where are you purchasing these from as i haven't seen them for less than £140?
@@whu1001hey man I got mine "certified refurbished" off eBay for that price, they came directly from soundcore and were in as new condition sealed box I couldn't tell they were not new at all) but they are discounted pretty regularly on Amazon as well new down to like 110 pounds
@@whu1001 I just got them on amazon for around 80
Just got to point that I’ve had mine for quite a while now and yes you can do passive listening with these power off. I do so all the time while watching movies and playing games. You’re right by the way, that aux cable soundcore provided is crap so I bought my own separate.
surprising how you wanted the HearID and now an update gives them
Nice!
That happened with the _passive hearing_ as well. *_Soundcore listens._*
So glad the *Hear ID* has been added, since my *Q45's* arrive today. Was going to get *Q35's* until I saw *Q45's* were on sale for $99 (that appears to be over by the time of this comment).
*EDIT:* Somewhat related, I've had some truly exceptional customer service¹ with *Soundcore.* But, as with all things, your mileage may vary.

¹ ─ Having contacted them via email, in case the distinction matters. 🤷🏼♂️
Just wanted to add a _"thank you"_ to you @@ELJefeReviews. I appreciate the in depth and honest review (as always).
Thank you.
This is the man! Absurdly great review 👍🏻
Much appreciated!
Here we go! Appreciate the review Jefe! :) been waiting for this.
Enjoy!
quality review and production... subscribed..boom.
Much appreciated!
Excellent video overall, with great sound quality, but the app walkthrough saved me time. I appreciate that. I’ve got the A40s & Q45s.
Glad it helped!
Best and most honest review I've seen. True audiophile and quality feedback. Thank you Man! 👌🏾
Highly appreciated!
Dear El Jefe. Thanks a lot for your great and very friendly reviews. I just want to let you know that I bought these Soundcore Space Q45 in part bc of you and must tell you that THEY DO HAVE PASSIVE LISTENING with the cable without turning themselves on The one thing I notice is that with the cable the music quality seems to diminish instead of improve. Perhaps I have an updated version, I don't know but I'm happy to say this. Once again, thank you for your recomendations :)
They fixed the problem after this video was released.
My Soundcore Q30s broke, so I think I’m going to upgrade to these.
Fair enough! Enjoy!
Wow, very high quality review! I just purchased the q45
Me too , what are they like for you?
What you think of the headphone?
@@hugonorival9609 I love it so far. Really good quality and I couldn’t really tell the difference between the q45 and my Bose. I went on a 2 week vacation and it lasted on one charge
Thanks Much !
EL JEFE REVIEWS
Thank you for watching!
Awesome review. These are exactly what I am looking for.
Glad I could help!
appreciate this honest review... keep it up dude
I had a set of Q30s, and I personally think the Q45s are a huge improvement, but I may be biased considering the old ones were broken lol.
Same situation here lol
What about the mic
Great review! I just purchased these, can't wait to pick them up tomorrow. I am upgrading from the Soundcore Life Q10 which has worn down from heavy use. Thank you! :)
As usual great review and full detail on what these offer. I still keeping to my Q30, I know the LDAC is a nice option, but I was hoping this time they would allow us to swap out the ear pads, was looking forward to using some velour pads with them.
Thanks for sharing!
Wait you cant replace the pads? What if they tear?
@@maisondav1d Buy new headphones.
You can swap earpads
My guy…putting in the work!!!
We out here bro!
Hear ID did come to these headphones! I tested them recently and loved the feature!
Good video as always el Jefe👍👍I'll wait for the new soundcore model for you to review.
Which new model?
Omg I nearly brought the Q30 I even asked Soundcore if they had any new products coming but they could not reply properly as I think they still needed customers to buy they existing products
The information is under embargo. The employs are not allowed to give out that info prior to the public announcement. So it's less that they want you to buy older products, and more that they're not allowed to say anything even if they wanted to.
@@ELJefeReviews thank you king 👑
Great in depth video, thanks for all the info and discount code! Just ordered a new pair for my next plane trip.
Thanks for the review. I'll keep my Life Q30s until the next generation of Space Q.
My Q30s are much more comfortable than my new Q45s (headband).
Sony nailed it in mic test, impressive
100%
Thx for good review just bought the Q45 and im pretty happy thx for your pro explication !!!
Glad I could help!
I purchased these headphones about 2 weeks ago. I have to say as far as the sound goes and yes I have adjusted The equalizer as much as I can for me I'm a bass head. So with that in mind you would think that these headphones would be perfect but I will be honest they're not that great on base I have to actually listen to an electronic song or some hip hop or rap just to get the base to come in. And on the kind of person that listens to 80s 90s and some heavy metal music with that in mind I like to hear a lot of meds and a lot of trouble unfortunately with these headphones when you put the mids and treble up the base is basically non-existent. Now the microphone I find is perfect the fit is pretty perfect too the headband on top of the head is a little uncomfortable after about an hour or two. Now another thing too if you're someone who doesn't like Bass then the sound quality of these headphones is going to be perfect for you because they really do sound amazing but again there is just little to no bass
If you want bass, then check out the crusher evo headphones by skull candy. You will get all the bass you want and more.
How do these compare to the Cleer Enduro's? Which would you consider the better buy around the same price?
Best review on these!
Glad you think so!
100% top notch review. Well done!
Thank you!🙏🏼
@@ELJefeReviews How would you compare these to the Beats Studio 3 for someone with a lot of Apple stuff at both the same price?
I'd get the Beats for stronger bass response and easy connectivity with my Apple devices.
@@ELJefeReviews thanks! Just ordered them and AirPod Pro's for when I am working at the coffee shop.
Great review thanks! I got a FW update first day to improve the extra bass feature. Another great reason to use the app!
Absolutely!
Thank you ! Big quality !
Glad I could help!
Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. Nice headphones. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible weekend. Much love and RESPECT
Thanks for the visit bro!
The no passive listening is also a thing in q35 too right?
Because i face it too.
Also correct me if i am wrong below.
Some advantages of the q35 over q45 -
• The wear sensor weirdly exists in the older (not so older) q35
• The 3.5mm cable has an angled jack and is about 124cm long for the older one.
• The q35 apparently sound very similar to the q45 (according to a review by "Brannon No D")
• q35 also has NFC (idk if the q45 has it)
• Also the q35 has touch control similar to the xm4 for noise cancellation/transperancy/normal
• Also i get an airplane adapter in the q35
• you can get them for $89 during sale (which i did) or a regular price of $104
• Also you can use two devices in dual connect using LDAC.
Some advantages of the q45 -
• q45 has 3 mics and the q35 has 2 mics on each cups.
• 4 hours in 4 minutes vs the 4 hours in 5 minutes of the q35
• 50 hours of total instead of 40 hours of q35.
Also P.S.A - Dont plug your q35 to the airplane using the wired cable soundcore advises against that (although we get one in the box)
Yup!
Thanks for a great review and the comment on this feature summary comparison between Q35 and Q45!
I am trying to justify spending the extra $70 CAD for the Q45 for a 7 hour flight to Europe. Is it worth it or is the Q35 going to be just fine?
@@DanVanDamme the q35 is better infact as it has dual connection in ldac mode which the q45 lacks lol. And it also has the wear sensor which the q45 doesn't have and so does nfc which exists in the 35 and not 45 also the q35 has an airplane adapter.
@@mokisan Thanks!
Great video man. I have lots of headphones but this are my everyday ones. No problem with them. Actually sound better than my sennhiser pcx 550, love watching your vids, keep them coming please? 💯👍👌👌
Glad you like them!
Another fabulous review. No passive listening = no go though, bro. Have a great weekend.
Fair enough!
Good Day Sir. Is this good for watching movies??.. That’s what I would like to use headphones for. Thanks and More Power to you 🙏🏼👍🏼
Yes. This is a good option for watching movies.
@@ELJefeReviews Thank you so much!!! And please correct me, the Q45 is better than the Space One??.. 🙏🏼👍🏼
Yes. Q45 are better.
@@ELJefeReviews Thank you so much Sir!!! GOD Bless you and More Power to your Channel!!! 🙏🏼👍🏼
Hello, could you review the 1MORE Sonoflow? I'm trying to decide if I should get the Q45 or Sonoflow. You got the most detailed reviews.
Go with the Q45
I just ordered a pair!! They should be arriving in 2-3 days which I’m excited for, I came from the AirPods Max but after 2 years they simply stopped working, and since the apple care was also over their solution was to get a new pair since according to them, they can’t fix them 💀💀
I didn’t want to spend any extra so overall these seem like the best value for money 👏🏼🙏🏼
Oh yeah i have my answer… go with the senn momemtum 4 😃😃 sir, i see link below the title that direct us to amazon. My question is: do you have an avantage if we buy headphones by your link ? If yes, i will use these link for sennheiser :)
I have big attempt for those momemtum 4… hope they will deliver what i expect :)
I know i said that often, but man, you do such an awesome job !! Your opinions on products are always excellent, easy to understand (yeah, even if i speak french) ! So, god bless you my friend, and continue your excellent job !!!
Yes. If you use my links I will earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.
Thank YOU !
Welcome!
Good Day Sir El Jefe 💜
Good day bro!
Pretty nice review man , I'm new to your channel so good work. I loke soundcore but there customer service sucks in the sense that they don't know how there own products work. Long story short I bought liberty pro 3 due to nice reviews, I was trying to listen to aac with my earbuds and went thru owner options and changed from aac to ldac and it wasn't working on both samsung devices. So I called customer service and emailed. Customer service didn't know there own products enough to tell me how to do this process which is quite simple and should be known by there representatives. The issue was in the soundcore app you have to download drivers and wala it works. They had me send in BRAND NEW earbuds for warranty bc they couldn't advise me how to use ldac and sent me back REFURBISHED earbuds when they never needed to be replaced bc they couldn't walk thru there own products options , just sub par to me pissed that they did this. Brand new doesn't =REFURBISHED and nothing was wrong with them in first place just incompetent customer service
Thanks for sharing your experience. They definitely need to tighten that up. I'd rather wait longer for an informed response than get a quick reply with bad info.
Quick question. How do they go against the older wh 1000xm4. I've been eyeing the sonys and the anker so it would be appreciated if you can respond. Great vid btw
I think passive listening does work, when they run out of battery.
Hi Jefe. Can I know your opinion between Soundcore q45 and Edifier wh950nb? What should I get? Price aside please. Thank you in advance.
I'm also awaiting that answer . . .
Dope intro! Reminds me of Gundam. The mics are pretty good for being over the ear headphones.
Agreed! As soon as I saw the intro graphics I thought of Gundam too.
HearID is now available on these. I can hear the difference, but I am not sure if I like it more than without them.
This man is underrated
Thank you.
Thanks for video.
I have Q35, and for me this product is very good. Mic quality in my opinion is not very good.
In yours video the best mic has Sony and Sennheiser. Almost perfect.
Agreed.
Nice solid review as always!
Much appreciated!
Very good review! Keep it up!
Glad you enjoyed it!
