on this model the ANC does not work when using wired connection. - info thanks comment that pointed it out.

all time low.
Past all time low was $114.99. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/757242
This is the better Sonoflow, not the budget cheaper Sonoflow SE model.

It's almost at Q30 previous best deal price of $99 which makes it a good deal. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/product/anker-soundcore-life-q3…
Most feedback will say the Sonoflow is the better buy because of the superior sound quality compared to Soundcore's offerings.

The only thing I would caution is the 70 hour (ANC off) battery claim and I say the same for Soundcore's claims. there are many similarities between Sonoflow and Soundcore models leading some to think that most of the parts inside are shared with the main difference being only the drivers.
Rtings tested the continous battery life of the Q45. so claimed 50 hours with ANC on (65 hours ANC off so similar to Sonoflow), and they only achieved 27.8 hours with ANC on. so I would expect similar from the Sonoflow about half of what is claimed.

      in australia don't you contact the store not the manufacturer? I thought ACL says the store you buy from has to take care of it no matter what.

      so in this case it's "Fulfilled by Amazon" (Amazon warehouse stock) so Amazon should refund or replace. if they try to avoid keep pressing them.

      • I got mine duty free there supposed to have international warranty it's not worth the paper it's printed on .

  • This is a pretty regular price for them now, but it's decent if you want some basic ANC headphones. LC3Plus options cannot come fast enough though.

    • I know 3xcamels sometimes doesn't show price drops, but graph shows it's lowest ever just recently. https://au.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B0B7NBXWDV

      • Yup, this one's normally done through a coupon system, which doesn't show up.

          good point I know I have seen them with coupon a few times. the discounted price just doesn't register in my head because I see the higher price.

  • Looking for a gift - Would something like this be OK for PC gaming? Wondering about lag

      I don't think bluetooth is usually recommended for gaming. and PC (windows 10) has a tonne of issues with their bluetooth drivers. if you look at Rtings bluetooth measurements the latency is always much worse and the highest on PC bluetooth.

      but there was one headphone which performed amazingly low latency via bluetooth for iOS and Android. it was the 2023 Blackshark V2 Pro. check the latency results I have never seen numbers as low as that with bluetooth. https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/razer/blackshark-v…
      PC bluetooth performance is much worse as always.

      also just fyi be careful when shopping for Blackshark V2 Pro. there are like 3 models one of them is the old 2020 model (often half price), one of them is wired only, and one is the 2023 V2 Pro which I mentioned above.

      • thank you kindly.

        I guess Razer anomaly aside I should look mainly at headphones with usb transmitter, then

        • yes. proprietary 2.4ghz with USB transmitter. there are many options that are marketed for gamers usually headsets with attached mic.
          not very cheap though.

  • No wired anc like Q35 or Q45

    • yeah you are correct no wired ANC on Sonoflow. I will put it in description.

      I assumed if a clone of a soundcore model they would at least be based on the Q35 so the ANC would work wired. but in the user manual it says the ANC won't work wired on the Sonoflow.

      one more difference soundcore models use 3.5mm on both ends of the cable. but 1more models have 2.5mm on the headphone side.

  • I bought and returned it. The headphone itself is good. However it won't pair with the new Chromecast HD. Apparently it's a known issue and admitted by 1More. No issue pairing with Fire tv, Shield, laptop or phone. So if you don't have Chromecast it's a good buy.

    • "However it won't pair with the new Chromecast HD."

      don't have a chromecast HD but weird problem to have I don't think I have ever had compatiblity issues with bluetooth devices. I wonder why it wont connect. what about other bluetooth headphones do they connect with chromecast? maybe it's more of a chromecast end problem and it only supports certain bluetooth versions.

      • Other's are fine. I have a variety of headphones and they'd connect to Chromecast HD. If you go to the this products review page and search the reviews for "Chromecast" it'll bring up two reviews with the exact same problem I had. In fact there are other review where it'll not pair with Smart TVs. For me personally it'd pair with everything exceptt Chromecast HD

        • ok sure I just find it odd. bluetooth is meant to be super compatible unless you are looking for specific features such as low latency or HD audio. if all you want is to hear audio from the TV/chromecast the connection should not be a problem.
