The Life Q30 is a nice little surprise. Of course, you shouldn’t expect great experience or stunning design quality from it, however, it fulfills its mission humbly on all terrains and sometimes even offers more than its direct competitors. This is a good starting point at a low price in the jungle of Bluetooth headphones with active noise reduction.
Strong points
- Active Noise Reduction (RBA) with very good performance.
- Homogeneous and pleasant sound reproduction (with RBA, and manual equalization).
- Nice stereophonic width.
- Good comfortable feelings, totally foldable design.
- Extremely generous autonomy (40 hours with RBA!).
Weak points
- Very average sound precision.
- Significantly lower sound performance when RBA is disabled (or headset is off).
- Fairly average level of finish.

Urbanears Plattan 2 Bluetooth
Introductory price €99
Externally identical to its wired version, the Plattan 2 Bluetooth royally ignores the criticisms we made of the Plattan 2. However, the switch to wireless is quite convincing thanks to complete controls, excellent battery life and the possibility of sharing its music with a second headset. The audio rendering, despite particularly soft bass and a slightly tight stereophonic field, remains intelligible, powerful and devoid of distortion.
