Cheap wireless headphones either let the fan, traffic and office chatter straight through, or they die halfway through the week. Good noise cancelling headphones with real battery life usually cost far more.
This exact unit was filmed on camera and inspected before listing, so what you see in the review is what arrives.
The reviewer used the previous 1MORE SonoFlow as his daily driver for almost two years, and the HQ51 is the upgrade. QuietMax hybrid noise cancelling (rated at up to 42 dB) was very good in testing, so that you can work or travel without turning the volume up to drown out noise. A transparency mode lets voices through when you need them. Sound was excellent for the price, with no distortion even at maximum volume, and LDAC support means Hi-Res audio over Bluetooth from Android phones that support it. Battery life is rated at up to 100 hours with ANC off and about 65 with it on, so that you charge it a few times a month, not every night. The mic sounded good in tests with and without background noise.
The honest catch: the power button needs a slow, long press to turn the headphones on or off, which gets annoying.
