This is a product that I made an impulse purchase after hearing about this product while watching YouTube reviewing audio devices. What's more, I lost control when I heard in the review that they were giving a discount to commemorate the official release in Korea and providing an additional discount code. 🤣
Still, just in case, I looked at the prices sold on overseas sites and found that it was a product with a price range of around $140-150.
Now, it has been about 3 weeks since I purchased the product, and the discount code has expired, so it is difficult to purchase at the price I purchased (in the early 100,000s), but the discounted price is also cheaper than buying from overseas.
The current selling price is 119,000 won, but the discount price is only available at Anker Korea , so if you are interested in purchasing, we recommend that you purchase it before the end of the discount period.
For reference, when I bought it, only navy color was available, but now beige color is also available, so please refer to it.
In my experience of purchasing the product and using it for a while, it was a very satisfactory product with good sound for the price and various functions.
In the case of other headphones I've purchased before, I experienced a feeling of stuffiness in the treble or a different sound when activated in the case of products with noise canceling (ANC). It doesn't make much difference whether you use (ANC) or not.
And another surprise is that you can switch between Noise Canceling (ANC) and Ambient Listening modes by long touching the right side of the device. This function is a function we have seen in the Sony WH-1000X series, but it seems that it was released at a price of 30% compared to the WH-1000X series, targeting the WH-1000X series.

Then, let's take a look at the components and appearance.
Box exterior and opening
The front of the box has a large picture of the product printed on it, and the name of the product is printed on the upper part, and the contents of various functions are printed on the lower part.
The side design, similar to other Anker products, consists of a picture of a model wearing the product and a picture with a description of the product's function.
The functions of this product are marked on the back of the box.
At the top, it is said that noise canceling can be set according to 3 different environments, the long battery life of 40 hours, 4 hours of use with 5 minutes of charging, and the touch-type ambient sound listening function are explained below.
At the bottom of the box, there are various certification marks and serial numbers, and included components are marked with icons.
unboxing
The box is made of thick paper, unlike the Soundcore Life Q20 .
I bought it in Korea and the box came without any major dents, but even if I buy it from overseas, it doesn't seem to come with a crumpled box like the Q20 I bought and received before.
The way to open the box is to lift the top lid (?) upwards to open it. There is a plastic hook on the top of the box, so I expected to open the top cover or slide it, but I am using the same method as taking out a smartphone.
When you lift the box up, it is covered with a layer of paper inside, and when you open the sticker to the left and right,
You can see the carrying pouch with the product inside.
It adopts the same configuration as the product packaging method seen in the Sony WH-1000X.
When you take out the pouch, there is a caution booklet and a manual at the bottom. The plastic at the bottom is in the shape of a pouch so that the product can be fixed.
When you take out the pouch and open it, the product is inside as shown in the picture below, and between the units there is a pouch containing an in-flight connection jack, a USB Type-C cable for charging and a wired connection cable.
Components
The product is contained in a transparent blister removed from the box. Other than that, there are no separate components.
Headphones, a 3.5mm wired cable, and a USB cable are inside the blister, and a leather-like pouch, instruction manual, and warranty card are inside the plastic wrapper.
Note The booklet is quite thick, but every page contains the same content. It seems to be a thick booklet because it is written in each country's language.
This is the manual I saw in the Q20 I bought before.
This is the second time for Anker's headphones, and it's easy to see because of the familiar structure of the manual.
The icon and function name are placed on the upper left of each page, and the page is placed on the upper right of each page to make it easier to find.
Compared to the Q20, the manual has also evolved, and there is a description of the function at the bottom.
There is also an explanation in Korean in the middle, probably because it is an official import product in Korea.
Because it has many functions, it is composed of several pages and there are a few pictures of the manual.
This is a guide that is always included when you purchase Anker products.
The inside of the case is uniquely engraved on the plastic for the location of the headphone unit and the left and right directions, and is shaped so that the direction of the unit must match so as not to confuse the location of the headphone.
Appearance
Like its predecessor, the unit can only be rotated forward and backward by 90 degrees, and the direction can be rotated to one side.
The way it folds inward for storage is the same as the " Sony WH-1000XM4 " and " Anker Soundcore Life Q20 ".
However, the structure of the folding part is different, and the corresponding part is all made of plastic, so I am a little worried about the durability when using it for a long time.
The inside of the band extension slide part is made of plastic and the outside is made of steel.
The part that extends the slide is made in such a way that it taps when it is stretched or shortened, so it is easy to match the left and right lengths equally.
The sliding part has a unique design, which gives it a neat feeling as the joint is not visible when viewed from the outside when folded or unfolded.
Various certification marks are printed on the inside of the band above the left unit.
The serial number is engraved on the inside of the slide part.
At the bottom of the right unit are volume control buttons, play/stop buttons, and a wired connection jack.
And there are two small holes under the button, which is probably a microphone used for calls.
The part where the sticker is slightly visible above the button is the part where the touch sensor is located.
At the bottom of the left unit is a power on/off button and a noise canceling (ANC) toggle switch.
And to the left of the power button is a USB Type-C port for charging.
There are two large holes at the top of the unit on the left and right, and I think it's probably the microphone part for listening to external noise for noise canceling.
