My setup is Q45 with Hiby FC4. Like you said, it sounds so GREAT in Powered off mode. By the way, Powered on+wired mode means DSP inside Q45 is working. If you have the feature "Bass up" on before going wired, it will "Bass up" with "Powered on+wired". The only way to disable is to toggle off "Bass up" in the app in Bluetooth mode.
@leebel3075 ok thx I never took it that far with bass up I made my own eq settings so it probably keeps the last eq setting i used when wired and powered off I guess I just know it sounds even better wired powered off I did a Q35 Vs Q45 ultimate comparison video too Check it out id loved to see your comment(s) on that video
Hi~ I'm an iPhone user, and I was looking for headphones that connect cables. But many RU-vidrs don't talk about wired connections. So far, I've found the second person to say that you can hear amazing sounds when you're wired! Thank you for the practical test. I wanted to hear this experiment. I'll continue to support you. Thank you.~

Your Welcome My Friend . I Had The Space Q45s In My Amazon Cart And Removed Them When I Heard El Jefe Say No Passive Listening On Q45 . Other Reviewers Have Said This Too . What Does Not Make Sense Is How Do There's Not Do Wired Passive Listening But I Ordered Mine And They Do Passive Wired Listening . Alot Of Even The Most Honest Reviewers Are Clearly Reading From A Spec Sheet And Not Checking To See For Themselves . Alot Of Commenters On Various Q45 Review Videos We're Bothered By There Being No Passive Listening On Q45 . I Had Dialogues With Many Of Them Letting Them Know That These Reviewers Are Incorrect . Wired Listening When I'm Not On The Go Is Unrivaled By Anything Bluetooth Can Offer . Try It For Yourself And See .

Wired Listening With Q45 POWERED Off Is AweSomeNess PerSoNiFied And The Best Sound Quality My Set up Is Zfold3 to Hidizs S9 Pro DAC AMP DONGLE to Q45 etc
@@jcap8391 wired powered on the audio will be Awful . . . Wired Powered Off The Sound Will Be AweSomeNess PerSoNiFied . I'm Just Now Seeing Your Comment Or I'd Have Responded Sooner
this video is months old, however i just ordered my own Q45s and i am REALLY hoping that when it arrives, i can listen WIRED and POWERED OFF to hear what you hear. Because everywhere i look, everyone says that once that 3.5mm jack is plugged into its hole the headphones turns on automatically. SO i am looking forward to testing it
Thx 4 checking out my video . Also I Did A Comparison Video Between Q35 VS. Q45 And Would Love It If You'd Check It Out . . . Before I recieved my Q45 I actually cancelled the order as 2 or 3 reviewers had said NO WIRED PASSIVE LISTENING is possible on Q45 . . . I ended up ordering Q45 again and when I got them the 1st thing I did was plug in the 3.5 aux without turning them on and the sound was excellent so myth busted so to speak Atleast for me . . . While Still Wired And Powered Off I then hit the ANC button which did & will still cause MY Q45 to power on and immediately the audio sounded and still sounds awful when I do this today as well . . . If I Turn My Q45s On And Then Plug In The Wire MY Q45s Power Off Immediately But About 3 or 4 people have said their Q45s Do Power On When They Plug In The Wired So I'm Thinking They Recieved A Defective Set . . . I Owned A Blue Pair Of Q45s As Well And Had No Issues Listening Wired Passively AKA Powered Off . . . MOST IMPORTANT THING TO DO WHEN LISTENING WIRED PASSIVELY is the wired that come with the Q45 make sure the straight end is in the Headphone And The Angled End Is Plugged into your phone tablet etc. Because is you do it backwards the audio will have no bass and the mids and highs will suffer dramatically as well . My wired set up is zfold3 to Hidizs S9 Pro DAC AMP DONGLE to Q45 but you don't have to use a dongle but it does make the Q45s sound even better when listening wired passively AKA powered off .
Mine do work with cable and don't turn the headphones on. The only thing I hear is that the quality of music diminishes over cable. Perhaps we loose the amplification and equalizer power when they are off.
@ashash679 I Use the HIDIZS S9 PRO DAC AMP DONGLE for Wired listening of my Q30 Q35 Q45 and It Sounds Way Way Way Better Than Bluetooth Listening . Just Make sure your Q35 Q45 are powered off when listening wired .
Got my Q45s today, tried them both in bluetooth and wired mode, and I gotta say I'm quite disappointed. Powered off in wired mode the sound is noticeably worse, really muffled and unclear. As soon as you press the power button and the voice tells you the battery level, the sound is back to normal, the same as when listening via bluetooth. So no, I'm afraid the passive wired mode is rather unusable, a last resort really for when you can't top the battery up, but listening regularly in this mode - no thank you.
I'm sorry to hear this . I think quality controller has let some Q45s out with backwards wiring or something . I've heard a few people say they power off their Q45 to listen wired and when they plug in the wire the Q45s power on which is just the opposite of what happens with my Q45s and Q35s and Q30s Even . I start with my Q45s powered off then plug in the wire and the sound in my set is awesome . Now while they are powered off and wired if I press the ANC button the Q45s power on and the sound goes from AweSomeNess PerSoNiFied to absolutely awful . Your like the 3rd or 4th person that's described an experience that makes me think that somehow SoundCores quality controller is lacking a small percentage of the time . If I were you I'd contact SoundCore and explain this issue I've heard they go above and beyond to make things right .
I TOTALLY agree, tested with BT, wired (power on), wired (passive). BT is GREAT, love them. Wired (power on) I still love them, looses the very slight lag you get from bluetooth latency & slightly clears up the sound. Wired (passive) sounds like I'm listening inside a tin can with distortion, cant do that mode.
Your Welcome . Alot Of People We're Bothered By This Statement Several Reviewers We're Making Saying No Wired Passive Listening Was Possible .I Actually Canceled My 1st Order Of The Q45 After El Jefe Said No Passive Listening On Q45 . It Was Only After Hearing Another Reviewer Say The Opposite That I New Something Was Not Right . Many Of These Reviewers Just Read Off A Script Or Spec Sheet . With Something Like Listening Wired Passively It's Real Easy To Test . Ima Tell You When You Listen To Life Q35 And Space Q45 Wired Powered Off AKA Passively They Sound Like AweSomeNess PerSoNiFied . My Humble Set Up Is ZFold3 to Hidizs S9 Pro DAC AMP DONGLE to Q35 Or Q45 ETC ETC ETC
You are right. They do have passive listening with the cable, and like you say, I feel that the quality diminishes a little with the cable vs bluetooth. Thanks for your review.
It sounds Like you're saying that you think I said Bluetooth is better than Wired passive listening . Wired is the best way to listen to the Q45 Q35 Q30 with LDAC Bluetooth listen coming in a very close second . My Actual Full Review Is Called ULTIMATE COMPARISON Q35 VS Q45 check it out my friend
Thank you my friend, I have a problem which the microphone of the q45 didn't work during calls or when I try to record my voice please forgive me if there are mistakes in my speech because I'm not a native English speaker
If it works for you that way I am glad . ....My Q35 My Q45 My Q30 by soundcore have to be powered off when wired Otherwise there is no Bass and audio is suppressed. ....This is because when the headphones are powered on and the other powersoure like my dac/amp the headphones are plugged into these 2 power sources interfere with each other . If you believe it's better your way then I guess you cracked the code but it definitely does not work that way for me .
Q35 vs Q45 1. Which is louder in terms of max volume? how much louder like in percentage you guess 2. Which one has more bass? and how much in percentage? 3. I'm an EDM only music listener which should I buy 35 or 45?
I don't have the equipment to measure loudness I only need about 50 percent from either to be completely pleased . . . The Q35 Has The Punchier Bass No Mather What Custom or Soundcore EQ I Use . Even the Q45 bass up feature doesn't give them as much bass as the Q35 . Percentage Stronger I'd Can Only Say It's Quite Noticeable The Difference Between Q35 and Q45 . For EDM I Honestly Would Go With Q35 . . . I did a Q35 VS Q45 ULTIMATE COMPARISON VIDEO Q35 VS Q45 if you're interested. . .
Exactly the video I was looking for!!, thanks🎉, I've read you can listen, but you can't use the mic while is wired to a pc/ps/xbox let's say to Skype around or play games, it's that right?, I appreciate you perspective, greetings from Venezuela.
I know if your 3.5 aux cable has a mic on it then you can use it with phone calls if I'm not mistaken . As for the xbox Skype etc I'm not sure as I never used them Wired in that way . On A Side Note Avoid The new Soundcore Space One As They Sound Awful . I Also Did An ULTIMATE COMPARISON VIDEO Q35 VS Q45 If You're Interested . Thx For Your Sub And Your Comment .
If I’m not mistaken as soon as I plugged in the cans powered on themselves. I didn’t do it & I do remember saying holy crap this sounds like shit. I just took the wire out. When I want to b critical I always use wire but w/ IEM’s. I love my Q45’s though.
Yes wired listening is the best but we do have LDAC On Android For Bluetooth . Just Make Sure The Q45 Is Powered Off Else The Audio Will Sound Awful . If I Have My Q45 On Plugging The Wire In Cuts Them Off However If I Hit The ANC Button It Powers The Q45 Back On And The Sound Becomes Awful .
Thank you so much man!. ive been looking for quite a while for a decent pair of headphones i can use wireless for some high quelity music playback while im at work, and play some games wired with my v-moda boom pro microphone whice goes into the 3.5 mm jack on the headphone. would you recommand this headset for this purpose?
Hi there, the video almost about a year now. But i'm curious about asking this. Are the microphone input also transmitted through wired connection? Or is it just giving input when on bluetooth mode? And also your video has answered most of my question about these Soundcore's headphone! Looking forward for your answer, thanks!
Thanks For Your View And Comment . I think if your 3.5 wire has a mic on it you should be fine otherwise I'd assume it would just use the mic on your phone . I will try and do a test to make sure but I stay so busy with other things it's hard to do these tests . I Did.A.Q35 VS Q45 ULTIMATE COMPARISON Video. Please Check It Out . I've Also Done.My E.Q. Settings Videos Too . And What Ever You Do Don't Fall The The Lies About How Good The Soundcore Space One Are As They Are Inferior Sounding And Build That I Can Not Believe Soundcore Would Release To The Public . For Now I'd Stick To The Awesome Sounding Q35 Or Q45 .
If anc is on while listening wired the sound will be awful . I did an ultimate comparison video Q35 VS Q45 ULTIMATE COMPARISON Video as well as CUSTOM EQ VIDEOS .
For Wired Passive Listening U don't have to use a dac amp dongle like my hidizs s9 pro however I've tried every Wired listening set up and the Hidizs S9 Pro DAC AMP DONGLE just gives the best Wired sound experience. U can plug direct from phone if it has 3.5 output . U can use a USB c to 3.5 adaptor if phone has USB c output . These all sound good with the Hidizs S9 PRO DAC AMP DONGLE Sounding on another level entirely.
@@DroidLocks6971 omg thank you for the clarification. Came across your video and you are the only one that has pointed this out. It is a major feature that made me think about wether I should get them in the past.

hello thank you for the video but I am not being able to plug the AUX cable without the headphones turning on by themselves what can I do to be able to listen while the headphones are off?
That's Something I'd Say Is Wrong With Your Particular Pair . If I Have My Q45 Powered On And Then Plug The 3.5 Aux Cable In My Q45s Cut Off Automatically Which Is What You'd Want Them To Do As Powered On When Wired The Audio Sounds Awful . If My Q45s Are Off When I Plug The 3.5 Aux Cable In My Q45s Remain Off Unless I Push The ANC Button On My Q45s And They Will Power On Making The.Audio Sound Awful . Get In Contact With SoundCore I Understand They've Awesome Customer Service . I've Never Had To Call SoundCore Customer Service But I've Heard Many Times How Awesome Their Service Is .
I don't have equipment to measure . I do not notice any difference between them personally when I'm listening at the same volume level with My Q35 Vs My Q45 . Ida got back with an answer but I didn't get a notification that you commented .
I think the whole sound profile of the Q45 seems more refined over the Q35 . While there is less Bass in the Q45 the bass is still really good . Check out my Q35 VS Q45 ULTIMATE COMPARISON VIDEO And let me know what you think .
Hi, do you see a difference between wired(24:48) and aac for losslesss audio? Does the soundcore app recognises the q45 while connected passively wired only? If not then does the phone or laptop eq setting has any impact on the sound quality?
Thx For Your Comment I Will Try To Answer As Best I Can All Your Questions . The SoundCore app will not be in use when listening wired passively as the Q45 will not be on this won't be connected to Bluetooth . . . By 24 48 I'm assuming you 24 48 bit audio . All I can say is the Q45 sound their best when Wired powered off AKA passively . My Wired set up is zfold3 to Hidizs S9 Pro DAC AMP DONGLE to Q45 . I never use AAC CODEC only LDAC With Priority On Sound Quality Which Is As Good As LDAC CODEC Can Sound . . . As For Your Question About EQ When Wired . I Used The Built In EQ On My ZFold3 While Wired Passively And It Did Change The Audio While Wired So Yes Your PC Or What Ever Q45 Are Connected To Should Do The Same . My Phone's EQ Also Works Over LDAC Bluetooth As Well . On A Side Note If You Listen Wired Passively AKA Powered Off And Press The ANC Button The Q45 Will Power On And You'll Immediately Hear The Audio Sound Terrible So Remember To Have The Q45 Powered When Listening Wired . I'm Listening To TIDAL NOW Wired Passively And According To My Hidizs S9 Pro DAC AMP DONGLE The Audio Is PCM 44.1/48/88.2/96 KHZ But This May Change Depending What I'm Listening To At Any Given Time But OMG It Sounds So AweSomeNess PerSoNiFied . I Just Changed To Another Song On TIDAL And My Hidizs S9 Pro Says It Is Playing At 176.4 / 192 KHZ . Let Me Know If I Forgot Anything .
@@DroidLocks6971 Thank you for the response. Indeed I was referring to 24bit 48KHz lossless from Apple music. Just for curiosity can you differentiate the audio quality between LDAC and wired passively with source from Tidal?
@@sarojmahalik the best sound in my opinion on tidal is when wired using my Hidizs S9 Pro DAC AMP DONGLE and yes to me it's a difference .

I think you mean life Q30 . I listen to my life Q30 Wired Passively And They Sound Way Way Way Better . The Mic On The 3.5 cable I Think Would Still Work Wired Passively As The Q30 Mic Would Get Power From The Phone I'd Think . On a side note If You're An Android User : With my Q30 I Use A FIIO BTR3K Bluetooth Reciever and a 12 inch 3.5 aux cable plugged into my Q30 . This way I can get LDAC Bluetooth Codec & The Bluetooth Audio Is Very Noticeably Better . The BTR3K Has A Mic Built In . Or You Could Use FIIO BTR5 . Just Remember To Have The Q30 Powered Off Whenever Listening With Any Wire . I hope this helps Also Check Out My Q35 VS Q45 ULTIMATE COMPARISON VIDEO
@Matt you are welcome Sorry about the double answers It looked like my comments back to you were not posting . See Also My Q35 VS Q45 ULTIMATE COMPARISON Video
q45 currently available for 70$, thats the reason why i am considering this headphones. i want to use em mainly with PC (wired connection). I dont need any additional features like ANC or LDAC. The only thing i want is the best possible sounding for the price range of 70-100$. So the question is... are these headphones good just following plug & play or i need any additional audio hardware (external audio card, amps...) in order to get somewhat good sound? Perhaps there are more suitable options on market for my use purposes? Id appreciate any advices and suggestions. Thanks in advance
Thanks for your question . I Was Not Sure When Discount Code Would End . Sound Wise No As The Q35s Sound Is Much Punchier . Both Punch Hard With The Q35 Just Punching Harder .
