Anker Soundcore Life Q20 vs Beyerdynamic DT770

I currently have Anker Soundcore Life Q20's so anything worse or only slightly better at noise cancelling isn't worth it. 3. I have social anxiety so I would prefer for them not to stand out too much.

Isolation - They have a lot of passive isolation to them when you have them on (can't hear anything with music on). Outside of the headphones they don't leak a lot of sound (unless you have them cranked, and even then it's not blaring). If you want to use a mic while listening to music, you wont hear yourself at all. Cons: ***Cable length - You will need twist ties to use these as portables, the cable is extremely long Cups don't rotate in both axis, so carrying these around gets tricky (awkward shaped and big)

Everything sounds like it's meant to be there and is happening around me rather than just in my head. They are a little tight out of the box, but I'm sure they'll wear in. Overall, love love love these for my first big boy headphones.

I was looking for something that was comfortable with no sound leakage that I could drive directly from a laptop and not need an amp. The main purpose was just to listen to speaking videos with the above requirements. However, after reading the reviews it sounded like they would be good for music as well with an amp - which I do have (Mojo). So, unless I was wanting to listen to true audiophile music, I thought maybe this would save me from having to switch back and forth between headphones when I took a break from speaking videos to listen to some music At least that Is what I had hoped

Battery life is pretty good. I can get through a six hour conference call marathon, but it'll leave me using laptop speakers and mic by the end of the day because you can't charge during use. Comfort is better than par. Anything under 4 hours at a stretch has been no problem for me

They are a bit muted in the sound signature which can make them less fatiguing than other, more analytical, headphones. Mids - A bit to high level for me, it tended to make punk rock music sound very close and muddied Lows - A bit boomy but very spacious Audio Technica ATH M-50x Highs - Quite good representation, a bit cold though Mids - Nothing special, no major issues though Lows - Too over-emphasized -----------------Comfort--------------- Beyerdynamic DT 770 - Winner Perfect. I wore these on multiple occasions for more than 7 hours and never noticed any pressure points or discomfort. The headband is larger than average to distribute the pressure

3. They don't fold up as small as the Sonys or even my ATs. This one alone is not worth docking a whole star, but it's the only other complaint I have. Carry-on space is so limited, and there's a pocket in my bag that the Sonys fit in, and these don't (not by much though)

I'm not concerned with the way they look. They aren't displeasing to me - but I'm also not thinking these are the coolest looking phones, but I don't care about that.
