- How long does the battery last?
- Up to 50 hours of playback per charge, which is long for ANC headphones. Running noise cancelling and calls will shorten that.
- Can I use them wired?
- They are built for Bluetooth wireless use. There is no mention of a wired mode or included audio cable, so plan on wireless.
- How good is the noise cancelling?
- It is basic active noise cancelling. It handles steady sounds like engines and fans but not voices or sudden noise.
- Are they good for phone calls?
- They have a built-in microphone and work for calls, but the mic picks up background noise in loud places.
- Do they work with iPhone and Android?
- Yes. Standard Bluetooth pairs with both, and the microphone works for calls on either platform.
- Who are these for?
- Commuters, students and office workers who want wireless over-ear ANC headphones with long battery life and simple features.
- Where is the Essential Bluetooth Over-Ear Headphones with Active Noise Cancelling cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $134.99, as of our latest check.
