I am currently working on an EQ for the DROP Panda which got an update recently to work with Sonarworks’ SoundID app. The EQ is uploaded to the headphone and saved permanently it seems. Unfortunately their own profile for the Panda is quite bad but there is a hidden fully parametric EQ with up to 10 filters included and I am currently tweaking it to make something usable out of this headphone.

As there is no function included to share one’s own presets unlike with Jaybird’s app I will post my final settings filter per filter for you to reproduce them one by one.

Also a short video showing the difference in sound is coming soon.

Unfortunately based on what I've compared with the Ora GQs, these are far from prefect even with the Sonarworks EQ. Would love to see what you can do with these. Even with the stock EQ from their latest firmware release, my Audeze EL8s, Sine, Focal Clear would sound way better at stock settings compared to the Pandas. Absolutely shocking..

It gets glowing reviews everywhere anyhow... I tried my best but all I manage is to get it usable it won’t sound great regardless of what I tried.

There is an improved soundcore life q30 coming soon. I might get one if it can be brought to the same level as the first but with better anc.

Anker already asked me if I would like to test it. I hope it will arrive soon

Damn... any idea when its comming out? I've just ordered Q30s yesterday.

Nobody claims that the successor will be better: they also screwed up the Q30, without user EQ it also sucks big time. I think I was just pure luck that the Q30 can be tweaked to sound really decent. The same goes for the Panda, it is just terrible out of the box but with careful equalizing it can sound really decent.

Thats how i look at it. No chance they will change the frequency response to anything decent but if its pretty much the same as the old one we know we can atleast get good sound out of it with maybe some improved anc, ambient sound and call quality. Lets hope they dont screw this up in some weird way.

yeah that what I was thinking.

It is very likely they will go „premium“ with it, so price might be 120€/$ for a minor upgrade. So Q30 owners should not panic yet ;)

Was waiting for the new version of Q30 but Anker is doing some shady stuff - "We're sorry, but the page you requested could not be found." when opening https://eu.soundcore.com/pages/newlife
