Anker SoundCore Life Q35 - first impressions (Patreon)
Content
To weaken the anticipation for the Q35 I would like to give you some of my first impressions and immediately post some measurements.
To cut the story short: save yourself from getting it if you already have a Q30 or simply get a Q30 instead. I am not sure what the big improvement should be here for twice the price of the Q30, because sound wise it is a step backwards.
The default tuning is even boomier than it was on the Q30, with normal mode and default EQ there is more than 20dB bass boost, crazy! But even with the custom EQ you cannot tame the sound at all, as visible in the comparative measurements of the Q35 and Q30.
At least the different ANC modes (indoor, outdoor, traffic) do not change the sound, but that doesn't matter anyhow with that horrible basics.
Stay away from it, which seems just some marketing gag to pull your money again for a flawed product which performs worse than the predecessor. Well done Anker, what an achievement!
