Top 5 ANC Headphones under $80

2019-03-09
there are a lot of different headphones on the market these days all kinds of headphones from cheap little in-ear headphones all the way up to audiophile headphones that cost thousands of dollars and there are also noise cancelling headphones so tell me my sale kale or just what the heck is a noise cancelling headphone and why why would I ever want to have noise canceling headphones well noise cancelling headphones are really good in this respect if you're out riding your bike or you're at the gym or you're flying in a plane we are out somewhere where you just want to be able to hear your music or answer your phone and hey what all in private without really hearing into the outside noise that's going on these type of headphones are really good now there's some out there that are very expensive there's the Bose ones there's also kinds of new ones from neuro phone these ones that are in the three and four hundred dollar range but I decided that I want to take a look at some headphones that were way less money than that I was trying to shoot for an under $60 version of this video the top five but um I was only able to get a bunch of the pairs under 16 but one pair out of all of them's actually $80 so I want us to be the top five you know noise cancelling headphones that were under $60 but I had to beef it up to $80 because of these particular ones in the back now I have five different sets of headphones okay starting off the beginning we have two at $49 this is the cowan that I have right here and then I have the one with the one here the Aven tree it's right here it's a venturi right here the next I have this one called taotronics this is a $59 set then behind that these things are in the a and sevens these are also $59 and at the very end I have the Nasdaq when these are the ones that are $79 now a lot of these headphones sound a lot the same really I can't out of all the headphones at the end of three shows I'm gonna tell you drop the bat that as far as just the audio quality goes none of these headphones really stood out maybe go oh my god this is the best set now there were a couple pairs however those we go through that were the most comfortable that you could wear for a really long time sound is the same they all pretty much have a really basis ound on the end of them you know and if you turn off the noise canceling it gets a little bit more open but they're all very much the same so let's just start working our way through these headphones taking a look at them and like I said we'll start off in this so let me push these out of the way now and we'll start off right here with the Cowen now these are $49 and the entire bunch of headphones that were looking at today I would say that probably I would choose these first I know it sounds crazy you know if you may feel different but these were really I thought the most comfortable headphones out of all the headphones comfort zone and after that as far as the comfort goes it jumps over here into the old towel so this is $59 those the comfort levels so let's go ahead and let's check out what comes inside the box go ahead and pop cap here get this open inside we have a VIP card cowan audio it's got a little thing here so you can register your headphones or something like that or at least a cardan you're now a VIP of these folks you get a for every child a fair chance United States fund for UNICEF why this is in here I have no idea but hey my suppose UNICEF is cool it's helping people so I'm thumbs on that but why it's in here I don't know we've got a Thank You guide users guide nothing really too much with that stuff there is a very nice though carrying case in here it's very nice it's it's kind of made out of that pseudo leather stuff it's a Mickey you can squish it all up into a little ball you can throw at the cameramen and have them throw it right back at you here let me have that thing back here go back in quit moving when I'm throwing stuff at you you're taking the fun out of it alright I'm sorry you can beat that out I guess but all right so this nice bag now here are the headphones they are like I said very comfortable putting them on here they're very light the cups are very very soft when they're on your ear there's no discomfort whatsoever the noise cancellation on these particular headphones is also pretty much all like I said they're all pretty much about the same none of the noise canceling features on any of these headphones actually stands out either but the comfort level which I feel is going to be the most important thing when everything else you know it's kind of the same these are very comfortable now these particular headphones have a 30 hour playtime with a four hour charge time they feature 40 millimeter large aperture drivers they've got a built-in mic the county sevens also feature bluetooth 4.0 and NFC pairing capabilities that's near-field so if you guys have note that is just basically another way to connect your headphones to your devices the ear cups like I said they're really soft material they call it a protein material but I don't know exactly what that is but I just know that they're very very soft now on the Left cup we simply have the charging port on the right cup is actually where all the controls are looking on the outside of the cup you can see they have the cowan name now right underneath that you're gonna see a little triangle button now this triangle button does all the operations and each angle the triangle does something different as far as play pause forward backwards all that stuff's all controllable right there another cool thing about these particular headphones is you can actually plug them in as well so you don't have to use them wirelessly and inside the box it actually comes with the cable for that as well and there's also another switch that controls the on/off features in the center is the Bluetooth and all the way over is the active noise cancellation now last but not least people are always wondering about the aesthetics of a product and you guys can see from all the product shots that these particular products by cowan they actually look pretty good the design features nice like I said they're very comfortable they're only $49 the active noise cancellation works really well you can actually answer your phone and all that stuff while you have these headphones on so all in all they have a lot of great features and for 49 bucks I just got to say they're amazing I mean you get everything indeed in the box your carrying case your charging port you can plug it in leather pouch the whole deal let's move onto the next set okay now this next particular set is also another set at $49 this is the Aven tree now these are like I said are pretty much right in the middle of the road with everything sound is right down the middle of the road the features are down the middle of the road the comforts down the middle of the road but they're still all on all solid headphones so let's go ahead and let's just start taking them out of the box see what's going on with them the reason I didn't do an audio test on these is because I felt the audio was just so much the same that to show you guys five different sets the headphones with five different recordings would just be a little bit too much and bore you to death so we just kind of skipped that aspect it's really not the total truest you know showing up it anyways but what the heck okay so these particular headphones I have to say their design is very very minimalistic as far as it looks and everything go on these particular headphones they honestly look kind of us a little bit okay you know they're their look is nothing that's gonna mean I'm making you go oh my god these are the greatest thing since sliced cheese the cups are pretty nice but the comfort level on these like I said is kind of right in the middle of the road this particular set of headphones even though it's $49 I feel sits right in the middle of everything that's kind of going on today in the box you get the headphones you get a carrying case the carrying case is not as nice as the other one this isn't leather it's kind of a little fealty case you know it's filthy it's kind of nice you go ahead right here once again though you do get the ability though to plug in the headphones into a little you know little 3.5 millimeter jack so if you want to plug it into your headphones or your whatever you have out there device that actually accepts this jack you'll be good to go charging cables inside of there now the Aven trees they have up to 18 hours of playtime with bluetooth only and up to 10 hours with BT and a and C enabled it actually has a two to three hour charge time they feature 40 millimeter stereo drivers it's got a built in mic bluetooth 4.1 the ear cups are once again made of a soft protein material but I didn't think they were anywhere near as comfortable as the Cowan's they do have an 18 month warranty and like I said they're 50 bucks so overall like I said these headphones sit right in the middle road and I don't think I mentioned it the Cowan's also had an 18 month warranty so both of these $49 headphones both of them have an 18 month warranty these like I say I don't know I just hate to repeat myself but very very middle-of-the-road on these particular devices on these particular set of headphones however all your controls are located on the right hand side your charging port your cable for connecting it to their devices all of your controls everything are located right here pretty simple stuff it's all operated by one hand I have to say that controlling these however is pretty easy because when you reach your hand up to them they're actually in a pretty good ergonomic spot so when you want to control these and do that kind of stuff it's really good so if you're in a gym or out you know running around somewhere and you want to be able to control these things and turn off you know your Bluetooth or whatever is going on you can do it pretty simply with these headphones and last but not least on the outside of the ear cup we see the active noise cancellation on and off button now the taotronics they come in at $59 but like I said the comfort level on these is pretty much the second out of all of them pretty much the features are the same this one also has 30 hours of battery life time takes two hours to charge it up so three the headphones that were shown you today actually have you know 30 hours the other ones have 18 so most of them have 30 and these ones fall into that category and like I said these are probably my second favorite of the bunch even though they are $59 so let's go ahead just go ahead and pull them out and also another thing nice about these ones is these ones come with a very nice case so even though you're paying you know $10 extra this is actually kind of a hardshell case it's not completely like a hardshell guitar case but it's not like a softshell case either it's kind of in-between and I'm squeezing on it and it actually will keep your headphones pretty safe and solid so carrying around and everything you're not too worried about getting them damaged just slap them back into this particular case so go ahead and pull them out everything you're gonna get is going to be right here now one thing about these particular headphones and I don't know how much it's going to matter to people out there is this particular set of headphones does come with an airport and excuse me Airport an airplane adapter but I get to set the airport that's actually on the plane so it's an airplane adapter it comes with that also comes with a gold-plated jack cable so you can plug it in your phone or whatever device you have got that still has a plug it is an all Wireless so you can use them wired or Wireless the charging cables in there err 18 month warranty once again it says that right there not too much about that stuff the headphones actually lock into the case so that's pretty nice let me go ahead and get these out of here there's a little velcro strap here - so you just strap them in the velcro strap and take the velcro strap off when you want to get them out now these have very very nice cups now these ear cups are also made of a soft protein material but like I said they're very very comfortable the only ones that I thought were it's a little bit more comfortable where the Cowan's and that's pretty much just because they were just it felt like a slightly bit of a lighter feel on your head they just had a slightly bit of a more like I don't I really put it to you than a lighter feel and you're moving your head around these feel just a little more heavy now as far as the drivers go this particular set of headphones has 40 millimeter drivers as do all the headphones here now the only difference is on the $79 headphones that are made of a different material and like all the other headphones were gonna see today they do have an adjustable headband so they'll fit on pretty much any size head unless you're an alien with a giant head or somebody was a really small head like one of those little shrunken heads now on the right hand side there are a few controls we see the on and off button there's a little light that tells you that are on and off we have the charging port and then we had the next previous and volume buttons located above that on the other side we see the anc controls this simply just turns the anc on and off and also on the left hand side is the jack for connecting to a device if you don't want to use these headphones on a wireless dimension so like I've said throughout the video as far as the other features the sound goes and all that stuff these headphones are pretty much the same across the board except for a comfort wise I feel these are the second most comfortable out of the entire bunch now next up we have the ausdom a nc7 headphones now across the board if you look online these particular headphones do have good reviews the reason i say they're in the middle of the road above the stuff that we're looking at today is they only have an 18 hour listening time where a lot of the other ones had 30 hours and they have a four-hour charging time which also once again puts them in the middle of the road they have a mic it's bluetooth 4.0 they're $59 like I said everything pretty much across the board to me is kind of the so let's just go ahead and pull them out of the box and see what they look like anyway so we'll go ahead and just pull the old box inside of a box out the old box ception there pop another little cap all righty then now you will see though that these headphones do have a nice little case though so for people who want to protect their headphones and they like a nice case I think a lot of the review sites do particularly like this feature it is nice to have a nice carrying case I will say that because if you're a person who travels a lot you go to the gym you don't want to just throw your headphones in a bag and you know get them damaged and then they're not worth the money especially if you're even gonna pay the 60 bucks you want to you know have something to protect them so let's go ahead and just take them on out of the package here I think I'm going backwards on this for some reason I'm zipping my zipper up okay now inside you get an awesome green card so that means that all the illegal aliens out there if you buy these particular headphones you get a free pass across the border no I'm just kidding but it does say green card so it's the Austin green card it's just a super user program it's like their thank you to you for spending your money on their headphones bro thank you from Austin all right like all the other headphones we've seen so far it comes to the charging cable a gold-plated cable to hook up to another device other than the wireless so it comes in bed and it comes with their little users manual why it comes to that I guess not just probably to tell you what the controllers are like usual adjustable headband um these particular pads are soft the thing about Visa I don't like is they feel really rigid that's to me that's how I feel these particular headphones even though they kind of been in there pretty flexi when you put them on your head I don't know the way they fit is weird fee for my head they're kind of like they go way up to me over my head they don't really fit good so if that's probably like my reason for that other people have me you know have a different shaped head and for them they might fit really better they might have more of an egg head shape of head it might fit them a lot better but for me I'm not you know all that firl with the comfort zone now now as far as the controls go on the left hand side we see the anc on and off button as well as the charging port now on the right hand side we see the jack for connecting to non wireless devices right next to that we see a button that doubles as two different things it's the play/pause and the an off button the same as the buttons down below this is for your previous your next and your volume up and down so like I said I feel these particular headphones are the middle-of-the-road the reason I really don't like them is I don't feel the comfort levels there they're kind of I think made more for people have like an egg-shaped head because the top is just so round that fixed people who have you know more taller type of conical head than I do but I'm sure that it's gonna be different for people out there who have different sized heads that's just my opinion on the whole thing all right now last but not least out of today's top five we have the noise hush by Nasdaq now the only difference between this headphone and the other ones are two different things a couple of them had an 18 hour you know playtime these have 30 hour playtime and these actually have 40 millimeter neodymium drivers and those were actually better made but I have to say just as far as the sound quality goes I didn't really think that was that much of a difference on the noise hush than the other ones maybe some people might notice it but I really didn't notice that much at all but the thing is though those particular drivers are made better so they probably will last for a longer amount of time now as far as what we get in the box let's just go ahead and pop the cap and bring these out like we did all the rest of them done today like usual these have an inline mic for answering your phone and all that kind of stuff that has the ANC noise cancellation all that stuff one thing about all these headphones none of them really had any superior type of like you know dust or waterproof protection or anything like that either I thought I'd throw that out there they're all pretty much like I said really even across the board now really nice carrying case now some other people might feel that for the $79 that they want the different drivers and they might want this case the case is very nice it's made of a really kind of interesting material because even though it's hard it's actually very very soft and and kind of silky feeling it's actually a pretty nice case so let's go ahead and pop these out I just wish that these particular headphones were a little bit more comfortable as if they were a little bit more comfortable I think I would have had a better rating for them so inside the case actually you have this thing right here velcro pulls out you can put it anywhere you want inside of there take it out it's going to contain pretty much the same thing that we've seen and all the other ones except for these are actually much nicer so oh also another thing about that you know what I don't know as I'm recon of evaluating them maybe there is a reason for the $20 difference because actually these do have something that I did not see actually in any of the others today and that is the ability to plug in to a standard so this means if you won't like plugging into like a guitar amp headphone or any kind of thing that act active doing the music industry you'd be using this particular plug and it's completely gold so all it really does is it just pops onto here and you guys can see though that these connectors and everything on this are made so much better than the other one so I guess for $20 what you're getting with the noise hush is you're getting probably just a little bit better quality build and a little bit better quality in the peripherals that come with it that's really what the difference is going to be the comfort level I'll get them and put them on my head is not uncomfortable they're just a little bit heavier than I felt from the Cowan's which were just absolutely light on your head and comfortable so I can't say these are uncomfortable you also get your charging cable and once again you get one of those airplane jacks so for 20 bucks you get a better set of headphones better peripherals and the ability to take that jack and turn into a quarter inch shack so you can use it with professional music equipment stuff like that I just think that that's a really cool feature about it now like I said as far as the comfort goes these are probably right in the middle road with the other ones adjustable fan these ones do fit my head a little better though you see and there are just and I pushed them all up they're sitting on my head this is actually important feature to me because I don't want to be going around something and have it fall off my head these kind of fit on my head pretty good not quite as good as the other ones but they are pretty comfortable now these particular cups however are different than the others that we saw today as well because they feature memory foam now the noise such in one way are very different than the others they actually have two volume controls one located on the right hand side that she uses a scroll which is very easy to use once you put the headphones on the scroll wheels right here sip turn your music up and down very easy to use and on that same side you also had the active noise cancellation button now all the other controls are located on the right hand side all your volume control your Jack for you know hooking up to what to non wireless devices rather all that stuff's located on the other side so you've got your you know previous you've got your next you've got your pause your mute all of that kind of stuff is all located there including the on/off button all on the left-hand side so alright folks that is it the top five active noise-cancelling headphones for under $80 so let me kind of break this all down to you guys real quick as far as a comfort level goes like I said the Cowens or what I feel for my personal head shape and everything are the most comfortable the features are pretty nice there's some that were $59 as far as the feature set goes definitely the noise such are definitely the best they have the best drivers inside of them they come with the jack to one corner you get the airport you know Jack the airplane jack as well just higher quality stuff so if you want to pay you know $79 it's $30 more than the Cowens maybe somebody has a little bit bigger head than I do and these might fit them better as far as the controls and stuff go honestly all them are almost identical they're so close all the controls on them are pretty easy to access I wouldn't say that any one of them stands out as being oh hey this one's way easier other than the fact that on these it does have the scroll and a scroll I have to say as much easier than clicking buttons to try to make state you know you know if you're on a treadmill and you're running you don't want to have to worry about which button you're clicking you want to go up to change your volume and accidentally fast-forward to the next song when you're listening to your favorite Jam and your workout you know what I mean you don't want to do that if you just want to adjust the volume then I always have to say these might be just be a little wee bit better so I'm network you guys been watching tech of tomorrow down below we'll have links to all of these different headphones so you can check out more information and get a pair
