Our Verdict

TaoTronics SoundSurge 60 Wireless

Anker Soundcore Life Q20 Wireless

The Anker Soundcore Life Q20 Wireless are much better Bluetooth noise cancelling headphones than the TaoTronics SoundSurge 60 Wireless. While their noise cancelling isn't quite as good, the Anker sound much better balanced. Our TaoTronics unit sounds dark and shows a significant mismatch in performance between their drivers. The Anker are much better balanced, with a more excited sound signature. The TaoTronics do feel a bit better built and even come with a nice hard carrying case, but both models are equally comfortable.
