Save $30 on the Soundcore Q20i Headphones at Amazon and Enjoy Superior Sound on the Go

These offer excellent noise cancelation plus a solid battery life of up to 60 hours.

Amazon has knocked the already budget-friendly Soundcore Q20i headphones by $30, letting you pick up a pair for just $40 today. It isn’t an all-time low but it’s the best price the Q20i has dropped to in the past 30 days, proving you don’t need to spend a fortune to enjoy your favorite beats to the fullest.

This deal applies to the black and white options, while the blue and pink versions are going for $45. The offer is only around for a short time, though, so it’s worth placing your orders sooner rather than later.

The pair has two internal and two external microphones that work together to detect background noise and reduce up to 90% of it in the ANC mode. It’s packed with oversized 40mm dynamic drivers that deliver deep, rich sound for all your favorite tracks, games and even podcasts. You can also use the Soundcore app to customize your listening experience by adjusting EQ with 22 presets, or fine-tune it yourself to match your preferences.

If you regularly work across multiple devices, you will appreciate that the Soundcore Q20i can connect to up to two devices at the same time. Switching between them is nearly instant, as the headphones automatically shift to the device you need to hear from.

Battery-wise, you’ll enjoy about 40 hours of continuous listening with the ANC mode and up to 60 hours with it disabled. Even better, a quick 5-minute top-up can give an additional 4 hours of playback, which comes in handy when you’re in a pinch.
