No. But the soft padding doesn’t compress the earlobe or create any friction. In other words, Life Q20 can be worn comfortably for hours on end. However, they do generate considerable heat when the weather outside is bad, so we recommend removing them from time to time to air them out. Otherwise, sweat will build up and contaminate the pads. They also have a moderately improved ANC feature that performs much better at blocking out audio and is slightly better at isolating the low rumble of bus and airplane engines, though they are still not very good in this regard. the V-shaped sound profile is quite exciting sounding, with a good choice for pop and rock music. Unfortunately, instead of a hard case like the Life 2, the Q20 comes with a simple carrying pouch. Instead, the battery has been slightly improved and charges much faster, which is nice to see. ANC should help block chattering passengers on the plane, but it does not help block engine noise. On the bright side, its long battery life should last for the longest of travel days, and they can be used passively if the battery runs dry. Unfortunately, Anker does not offer an app to tune the EQ to your liking, so you are tied to Anker’s pre-made tuning, but there is a BassUp feature that boosts the bass even more, but it sounds terrible, so we recommend turning it off. Even the bass is muddy, and the BassUp feature further accentuates that muddiness.
