These top-rated Soundcore headphones just dropped to a near-record low at Amazon

SAVE 43%: As of April 8, you can get the Soundcore by Anker Q20i for $39.99, down from $69.99, at Amazon. That's a 43% discount or $30 savings.

Dropping $300 on a pair of headphones is just something I won't do. I know a lot of other writers here would disagree, but there's really no reason to when there are budget-friendly options that'll do everything you need them to do for way less. (If you're an audiophile, look away.)

Right now, you can get the Soundcore by Anker Q20i hybrid active noise-cancelling headphones for just $39.99 — that's an insanely good price for a pair of top-notch headphones. (They have +59K reviews!) It's also just a couple of bucks more than its all-time low price of $37.99.

I mean, obviously, I'm not recommending you get headphones from a third-party seller, but Soundcore is one of our favorite budget-friendly brands. Mashable Shopping Reporter, Samantha Mangino, for example, just reviewed the Soundcore Space One and Space One Pro headphones, and she says they're comparable to the Bose QuietComfort lineup and look great on.

"When I first spotted them out in the wild, I thought they were a pair of Beats because they looked like the Studio Pros," she writes. "Turns out, the Soundcore and Beats logos just look remarkably similar."

While the Space One models Mangino tested are definitely solid deals, the Q20i is even cheaper. They also have three times the reviews, with most shoppers saying the battery life is nothing short of "impressive." You'll get up to 40 hours of playtime with active noise cancellation turned on, and just five minutes on the charger will get you an extra four hours of listening time.
