For those who like to be outdoors while listening to music, active noise cancellation is a must-have. Here we test the Q2 Pro Bluetooth Earbuds from SuperEQ.
The SuperEQ Q2 Pro earbuds with noise cancelling appeal especially to music lovers who like to be outdoors, but also want to listen to music undisturbed there. For me, for example, Noise Cancelling is a must-have when riding my E-Board through the woods – because on the mostly gravel-heavy gravel paths, the driving noise is so high that it is simply no longer a pleasure to listen. But also if you manage to catch a free bench in the park right next to a children’s playground, you’ll never want to miss this feature again. These earbuds also have a transparency- or pass-through mode to let the background noise pass through, if needed. This feature comes handy at summertime, for example, when you want to hear not only to your own music, but also listen to the birds in the forest, the wind or the small stream nearby.

The Charging Box
The charging box is handy and small – barely larger than a matchbox, it fits easily into any shirt or pants pocket. Inside are the, as usual, magnetically secured earbuds and charge as soon as the lid is closed. Three LEDs on the front of the box indicate the charging status and whether the earbuds are currently charging. The charging box, which contains a 370mAh battery, is charged via an USB-C interface. The USB-C port does not have a rubber cover to protect it from dirt and crumbs, but that’s totally ok.
If you don’t have sweaty hands with a natural rubber coating, but dry fingers, you might have a hard time removing the Earbuds from the case, by the way. They are a bit tight and cannot be removed easily due to their shape and form.
Sound
The sound is acceptable throughout. The trebble sounds amazingly clear, only in the bass range at about 100Hz, there is a slight overdrive, as soon as you turn up the volume. This is easy to fix using an equalizer like the one found in VLC player. Strangely, the overall volume seems noticeably lower than comparable earbuds. Other models are louder here. The noise cancelling compensates for this a bit (you don’t need to turn up the volume where there is no disturbing noise), but a bit more volume would have been nice, then you wouldn’t always have to turn up the phone almost all the way.
Speaking of volume: unfortunately, it cannot be adjusted directly on the earbuds. The only thing that helps here is reaching for the cell phone itself 😐
The Noicse Cancelling works excellently. Ambient noise is clearly suppressed, and the background noise almost completely disappears. You should make sure that the earbuds fit well, because only then the noise cancelling works best. The ambient sound function, on the other hand, lets all sounds pass through, so you no longer have the feeling of being cut off from the rest of the world by wearing in-ears.
These equalizer settings work best with the SuperEQ Q2 Pro earbuds:
Handling
Included with the SuperEQ Q2 Pro is a short 15cm USB-C charging cable (I love these short cables, you see them far too rarely unfortunately), as well as some rubber earbuds in various sizes. The Earbuds are operated via touch on the outer sides of the plugs. As mentioned, the volume can unfortunately not be controlled here – some may painfully miss this when the phone itself is just somewhere in the depths of the backpack. Others will be able to live with it.
Furthermore, the noise cancelling and ambient sound (transparency) mode can be turned on and off with a long press on the outside of the earpiece. Of course, you can also skip tracks back and forth, pause and answer calls or push them away.
An easy-to-understand quick start guide in German, English and Chinese is of course also included.
Summary
The sound is quite acceptable, the earbuds fit very well. Bluetooth 5.2, long playing time and effective noise cancelling and a pass-through mode are clear benefits. Unfortunately, the volume cannot be changed directly on the earbuds.
