NH1 vs Soundcore Life Tune (Q30) (Patreon)

The Life Tune is technically the same model as the Q30, but has a different logo and it would seem to me also slightly better build quality with less crackling from the hinges. You can still find it in some stores below 50€, which makes it quite a bargain. I used my Q30 EQ for this recording and the headphone was set to ANC. My Q30 has already torn earpads and it sounded different than all other Q30 units I had owned, therefore I selected the Life Tune instead which may be more representative. As a cheap allrounder still a nobrainer but far from neutral sounding, even with bass reduced completely it remains pretty bass heavy.
