Our Verdict
Sony WH-H910N/h.ear on 3 Wireless
Anker Soundcore Life Q30 Wireless
The Sony WH-H910N/h.ear on 3 Wireless and the Anker Soundcore Life Q30 Wireless each have their advantages, so one may suit you better than the other depending on your needs. The Sony have a more stable fit, an auto-off timer to conserve the charge when not in use, and leak less audio. Meanwhile, the Anker can connect to two devices at once, block out far more ambient noise, take less time to charge while offering over 40 hours of continuous playback time, and deliver audio more consistently.
