Active Noise Cancelling Headphones VANKYO C750 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones Over Ear Headset with CVC 8.0 Mic Hi-Fi Sound Deep Bass, 30H Playtime, Protein Earpad for Travel, Work, Online Class-Silver

Picked these up since my ANC earbuds died a few weeks backand I'm pretty happy with them. Build quality feels a bit flimsy with a thin plastic frame, but honestly that seems to be the trend even with higher end headphones (seriously, even $300+ ANC pairs feel like this, what's up with that?) However, they come with a hard-shell carrying case so as long as you're not hurling them into a wall or running them over with your car you should be fine. They're also quite light as a result, which admittedly is nice, my regular headphones (M50x) really start to get uncomfortable after a while. The ear pads are also quite comfy and haven't caused my ears to sweat at all, something the M50x is also guilty of.Battery life is good from my testing so far. Haven't run the battery down yet but its been a few hours of Bluetooth + ANC and they're still going strong. While Bluetooth, they also include an HDMI cord so if it dies you can still listen. I'll update if I start having problemsSound quality honestly impressed me, especially for the price point. I'm a bit spoiled by my M50x headset, and while the sounds are is narrower and slightly less rich than those, this also costs almost $100 less and aren't designed to be studio headphones. But what you get stands toe to toe with anything ive tried even in the $100 range, with a nice warm sound and nice channel separation. Bass is a bit understated but in a good way, they don't emphasize it to the point of blowing out the other sounds like some brands try to *cough* Beats *cough*. However, they still have some kick, which comes through even more when the ANC mode is activated.The ANC, of course, is what will probably be the key reason someone is gonna buy these. Ill get straight to the point, just like the sound quality its very impressive for the price. You'll still hear sharp noises or voices a bit, the whole world doesn't dissappear like a Bose pair would, but low-frequency sounds vanish and background noise is greatly diminished. If you're using them for road trips or air travel, the rumble of an engine will certainly be swallowed. It does change the soundscape when listening to music though, the soundstage narrows a bit but the bass is slightly more emphasized. However, a regular user likely won't notice a massive difference.Overall this is a great set for the price. Sound quality and ANC quality are perfectly acceptable and even on the higher end for the sub-$100 bluetooth headphone range. They feel a bit flimsy and tend to squeak when rotating, but also are comfortable and light. Great if you do a lot of travel or need something to cut out background noise and studying.

I went to buy a second one for myself and found these instead. Right away, I could tell that these were just as good as the other ones. The things I like about it are the powerful bass and the clarity of every instrument (no matter the frequency) in the music I am listening to. I am sure it is hard to achieve both at the same time for a price like this, and they really nailed it.

I've tested a bunch of headphones in the $40-100 range so I may come back and review this with others in mind. My objective was to find a really strong audio performance for music, so I did not evaluate Noise Cancelling (did try it but didn't test it comparatively and it seemed to work OK on all of them) or use the mike. All of these can be used with a phone and can answer calls, again not a feature I tested. I tested each with a specific playlist that included variations in dynamics, bass and treble emphasis including songs with substantial changes and mixes, and different genre including pop, rock, prog rock, and acapella. I used a Macbook Pro laptop and iTunes, I experimented with different Equalizer settings to get the best sound with each headset.Cowin E-7 $49.99* Comfortable and interesting control setup. But I could not get them to enter the pairing mode and the instructions were very unhelpful. I tried them corded to the computer and was not impressed with the sound. Overall it was muddy at every frequency. The bass was strong but not distinct. Eventually they did enter pairing and the sound was no better. I would not buy these even if I had been able to pair them at first.Srhythm NC25 headphones $38.29* The bass was overdone and overtopped the treble and mids; rendered a bit of a muddy sound. Not bad really but I would suggest you can do better for the money. See Monoprice BT-300 and Vankyo C-750.Srhythm NC35 headphones $46.49* Clear, really good sense of position for every instrument and voice, good battery. I bought these right after buying the earlier/lower line Srhythm NC25 headphones. Compared to those these feel and look about the same but sound noticeably better. Understand I like a strong bass but the NC25 boomed enough to drown out some of the other sounds especially the treble. Overall they gave a muddy sound to a lot of music. By contrast while that can happen any well-produced track has far less booming and just a good base, and the amount of L-R separation, the precision with which sound location varies on these is really quite notable.Monoprice BT-300ANC – $39.99* I tried these as Consumer Reports rate them a best buy. Not as comfortable or as solid feeling as the Soundcore but not bad. Less effective ear seal. Not as solid feeling. Very good treble response and generally pretty well balanced sound. If you want booming bass this not your choice, but if you are looking for “fidelity” and balance these are pretty good. However the battery is 300 mah and the manual says 17 hours operation, the shortest of any in the group. Tempting at the price a good buy for the money. If you are looking for low cost headphones these are worth your effort.Soundcore Q20 – $59.99* Most comfortable, seems to be the better made, bass not as boomy as on the NC35 good fidelity. I used my equalizer to tone the bass down and liked these a lot; for those wanting to go the other way they do have a bass boost that was nice in the right places. I wanted to like them better than the Monoprice set but honestly the Monoprice is so close it's very subjective. I liked the heavier feel and better fit, the sound once I equalized it was pretty good. However I notice in addition that these have the best Bluetooth performance of the bunch; I can be as much as ten feet farther from my laptop and still have good sound, whereas the others would be breaking up or offering no sound. Ultimately these are the headphones I decided to stick with.Vankyo C-750 $44.99* in silver, 25% discount mades these very attractive option. They are very comfortable and noticeably lighter than the Soundcore. BT range typical for the group. Sound is good, not superb. 40 Hr claimed charge. I would say I was torn between these and the Soundcore, they have a nice bright sound and did fine with bass. I suspect I could equalize to get close to the sound the Soundcore produced but in the end I felt the Soundcore was just a little better and the $15 lower price just isn't enough to make me switch.*Prices shown are the actual cost at Amazon including coupon discounts but excluding tax; all got free Prime shipping.
