Buying call

Life Q20 brings hybrid active noise cancellation, 40mm drivers and huge battery life to the entry level: rated around 40 hours with ANC on and 60 with it off. It's light, foldable and comfortable, and BassUp mode delivers the low end most buyers want. ANC is middling, the build is all plastic and call quality is basic.
