Quiet your World with soundcore ANC Headphones
ANC headphones, or active noise canceling headphones, are designed to reduce unwanted ambient noise by using microphones to pick up low-frequency sound waves and then creating a waveform that cancels them out. The soundcore ANC headphones, both true wireless earbuds and over-ear headphones, are equipped with two microphones that detect and cancel out noise. They have a digital active algorithm for canceling low, middle, or high-frequency sounds such as cars on the road, typing, or human noises. The result is a rich, immersive sound experience that lets you enjoy your music without distractions.
With HearID Personalized Active Noise Cancelling technology, the soundcore ANC headphones automatically adjust the noise cancelling to your individual hearing profile for a customized listening experience. Whether you want to block out the world completely or just reduce the level of background noise, they will give you the power to customize your listening experience. What’s more, the soundcore ANC headphones' exclusive BassUp technology can instantly strengthen the low frequencies, which offers a better listening experience when listening to bass-heavy genres like EDM and hip hop. In addition to their excellent noise cancelling technology and amazing sound quality, the soundcore ANC headphones are also comfortable to wear thanks to their lightweight build and memory foam padded earcups.

FAQ about ANC Headphones
Are ANC earphones worth it?
What does ANC mean for headphones?
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is a feature that can be found on some headphones. This technology works by using microphones to pick up on ambient noise, and then producing an opposing signal that cancels out the noise. As a result, ANC headphones can provide a peaceful listening experience even in noisy environments. Some ANC headphones also have the ability to let in certain sounds (like announcements at an airport) while still blocking out other unwanted noises. This makes them ideal for travel and other situations where you need to be aware of your surroundings.
soundcore's All-New Noise Canceling Headphones feature adaptive noise cancellation ability, which can cancel the noise based on your current surroundings, making them the best active noise cancelling headphones for anyone looking for a high-quality, affordable pair of ANC headphones.
Does Noise-canceling drain battery?
If your goal is to get the most battery life out of your device, you may want to consider turning off noise-canceling features. Noise-canceling technology works by using microphones to pick up surrounding sound waves and then creating opposing waves to cancel them out. This process requires a fair amount of processing power, which can drain your battery more quickly.
However, soundcore's ANC headphones can last up to 40 hours of non-stop playtime in wireless active noise cancellation mode, which is more than enough for any long flight, making it a great companion for anyone.
Which is better: ENC or ANC?
-
ANC improves what you hear.
-
ENC improves how you're heard.
Is ANC safe for your ears?
ANC is generally safe and, in many cases, even beneficial for your hearing health. It protects your hearing over time by reducing your exposure to background noise and dangerously loud volumes (especially in noisy environments like planes and trains).
Which are the best ANC headphones?
The best ANC headphones should balance both price and quality. For excellent value, soundcore Q20i offers Hybrid ANC, Hi-Res Audio via AUX, and up to 60 hours of playtime—all at a pocket-friendly price.
Does ANC cancel all noise?
No. ANC mainly reduces low-frequency, continuous sounds, like that from engines or fans. It's less effective at blocking sharp or sudden sounds, like clapping or shouting. Q20i significantly reduces background noise but does not create total silence.
Does music sound better with ANC on?
Yes, it often does. By reducing background noise, ANC allows you to hear more detail and clarity at lower volumes. For instsance, enabling ANC on Q20i boosts bass performance while maintaining overall sound balance.
Does ANC work without music?
Yes. You can turn ANC on without playing any music, making it perfect for relaxing, focusing, or sleeping in noisy environments. Q20i’s ANC mode works independently and can be toggled using the onboard button.
Is ANC very useful?
Absolutely, especially in today’s noisy world where we’re constantly surrounded by distractions. Whether you're commuting, working, studying, or simply trying to relax, ANC can significantly increase your focus and comfort while enhancing your listening experience.
Is ANC better than earplugs?
ANC is more effective than standard earplugs at blocking low-frequency noises like engine humming, whereas earplugs are better at blocking high-frequency sounds. In some cases, earplugs may outperform ANC in terms of passive noise isolation. For the best results, we recommend combining ANC with a quality over-ear seal, like that of the Q20i.
Is over-ear or in-ear better for ANC?
Over-ear headphones generally feature better passive noise isolation and larger drivers, making ANC more effective overall. In-ear ANC headphones, on the other hand, are more compact but usually offer less passive noise blocking. For a better ANC experience, we recommend over-ear headphones like Q20i.
