Noise-cancelling headphones / NC headphones
Two years ago came Galaxy Buds, the first completely wireless earbuds from Samsung, which we thought sounded good. They were followed up last year by the somewhat disappointing Galaxy Buds Live. Fortunately, it turned out that they were just a parenthesis, and that the real successors to Buds are, of course, called the Samsung Galaxy …
They cost twice what market leader Sony should have for a pair of excellent WH-1000XM4s , which have been the reference for noise reduction. Apple’s first headphones, the AirPods Max, are actually so expensive that they can be safely compared to high-end headphones. Or can they? If the price is in the high-end layer, the …
It is normal to think that 400 euro is a lot of money for a pair of headphones. Especially when they are not even wireless, let alone have active noise cancelling. But even though I personally love headphones with good ANC, those are not the ones I use when I want to enjoy music for …
The small headphone manufacturer Sound by Sweden, a subsidiary of Supra Cables, has succeeded surprisingly well in our tests.

This is one of the few in …

Two years ago, we also tested affordable noise-canceling headphones, and then the Sennheiser HD4.50 BTNC did very well. Now comes the modernized model with the snarky name Sennheiser HD 450BT. As before, you only get a simpler carrying case that does not protect against unkind treatment. On the other hand, you get both an audio …
For old time rockers, Marshall is synonymous with huge guitar amps on stage. For the younger generation, it is more home electronics than the wireless speakers that first come to mind. But they also have respectable headphones. Six years ago we tested their flagship headphones Monitor, which three years ago was followed by a wireless …
AKG N700NCM2 Review: It’s a bit of a shame at AKG. The original Austrian company, which has been part of Harman since the 90’s, was for many years synonymous with special professional sound of very high quality, and in 2010 they also won a technical Grammy for their many years of work with perfecting studio …
When the first Beats model Studio saw the light of day in 2008, the headset market exploded, never to look back. Suddenly they saw the youth with heavy bells on their heads, rather than the pitiful earplugs that came with the music players. The fact that hi-fi enthusiasts frown their nose on Beats is completely …
With QuietComfort 35 , Bose surpassed its own QuietComfort 25, which was the market’s most popular noise-cancelling headphone until the wireless version came out.
