Overview
soundcore Anker Q20i, Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Foldable is one of 50 headphones & earbuds products on our shelf, compared on what buyers rated it, how many of them there were, and what it costs today. Here is how the maker describes it: Four built-in mics work together to filter out background noise so every beat comes through clean and clear, whether you're in a packed office, on a crowded train. Enjoy deep, punchy bass and crisp highs in wireless mode with BassUp technology or switch to AUX mode and plug in to Hi-Res audio for enhanced clarity and complex texture. That is the maker talking, not us, so read it as a claim rather than a finding. 74,752 ratings put it at 4.6 out of 5. The comparison with the rest of the shelf follows.

How it compares on the headphones & earbuds shelf
Across the 50 rated headphones & earbuds products we track, the middle of the pack sits at 4.4 out of 5. This one scores 4.6. That sits mid-table. Ratings this close together don't decide anything on their own, so weigh pack size, price per unit and the specifics below instead. Weighted for review volume, we place it first on this shelf.
74,752 people rated it, where the shelf median is 10,633. A score built on that many opinions is hard to shift and hard to game, which is why we weight review volume rather than ranking on stars alone.
On money, this sits in the top third of a shelf running from £3.99 to £179, with the midpoint around £16.98. It costs more than most while rating around the middle, so the extra money needs to be buying something specific: pack size, brand you trust, or a detail below that matters to you.
