Noise cancelling android headphones

10 беспроводных наушников Bluetooth с технологией активного шумоподавления (ANC) для прослушивания в шумных местах

Многие слышали про технологию активного шумоподавления «ANC» (Active Noise Cancelling), ставшую доступной и в простых TWS наушниках. Сейчас можно приобрести неплохие модели с качественной поддержкой ANC, беспроводным подключением Bluetooth, который подойдут как на каждый день, так и для использования в при серьезной шумовой нагрузке. Такие наушники будут удобны для использования в поездке: в самолете, поезде, в метро, а также справятся с шумом ветра или на производстве. Подойдут и для занятия спортом на улице. Предлагаю подборку из десяти доступных моделей с поддержкой ANC, на любой вкус и кошелек: от моделей начального уровня до продвинутых с режимами прозрачности и настройкой через приложение для смартфона.

Новинки: перспективные модели от Xiaomi, Honor и Tronsmart

В 10:00 по МСК стартует раздача купонов на новые беспроводные наушники Xiaomi Redmi Buds 3 Pro (ANC). Со скидкой $10 стоимость составит всего $39.99, что весьма интересно за такую качественную модель. Но количество купонов ограничено — спешите. Наушники оснащены системой шумоподавления до 35 дБ, увеличенным временем работы (до 6 часов с включенной ANC). Как и Xiaomi Redmi, Honor и Tronsmart также представили новые модели, которые уже доступны в продаже. Все представленные наушники оснащены системой активного шумоподавления, которую можно настроить по своим предпочтениям.

Продвинутые модели наушников с активным шумоподавлением: 1More, OPPO, ZMI

Ряд моделей может похвастать дополнительными функциями, такими как: режим прозрачности или настройкой через приложение. Режим прозрачности — это когда вы слышите собеседника, не снимая наушников. В этом случае также работают микрофоны наушников, усиливая и добавляя составляющую с голосом собеседника. Фактически, это обратный режим шумоподавлению. Представленные модели наушников 1More, OPPO, ZMI настраиваются через приложение. Как правило, в приложении для смартфона доступно не только обновление прошивки, но и выбор режима работы системы шумоподавления, настройка звучания (эквалайзер), кастомизация управления касаниями.

Альтернативные модели наушников с активным шумоподавлением: Haylou, Baseus, QCY

Еще несколько вариантов от «брендов второго эшелона» — это достаточно неплохие, но не такие известные производители, как Haylou, Baseus, QCY. Представленные наушники также оснащены системой шумоподавления, имеют приличное звучание. Вполне могут стать альтернативным вариантом, особенно из-за своей формы и эргономики управления.

Ещё одна новинка: наушники с гибридным активным шумоподавлением Xiaomi Redmi BUDS 3 PRO

Отдельно хочу порекомендовать новую интересную модель от Xiaomi — беспроводные наушники Redmi BUDS 3 PRO с поддержкой системы активного гибридного шумоподавления (Hybrid ANC): 3 микрофона, несколько режимов подавления и прозрачности. Наушники обеспечивают качественное звучание, подавление шума до уровня 35 дБ, работу до 28 часов (с учетом подзарядок от кейса). Быстрая зарядка всего за 10 минут позволяет прослушивать непрерывно до 3 часов (!) воспроизведения. Сенсорное управление, удобная и эргономичная форма, защита уровня IPX4 и адекватная цена — все это делает новые Redmi BUDS 3 Pro потенциально «народной» моделью. Кстати, присутствует и беспроводная зарядка для кейса. Цена отличная — $59.99. При сходных характеристиках 1More Comfobuds стоят практически вдвое дороже (!). Делайте правильные выводы.

Таким образом, модели компактных наушников с активным шумоподавлением вполне доступны как для начального уровня («на попробовать»), так и для искушенных пользователей. В настоящий момент практически все лоты имеют скидочные купоны, которые доступны на странице товара. Добавляем в корзину, сравниваем цены, выбираем, оформляем.

Working from home? 5 noise-cancelling headphones we recommend picking up

As coronavirus continues its spread, many of us are now working from home more than ever. For those stuck at home, you might find things can get pretty loud! Whether it’s your neighbors, your pets, or your kids — you’ll want to consider getting an active noise-cancelling (ANC) headphone. We’ve put together a quick guide to the best noise-cancelling headphones for any situation.

Best noise-cancelling headphones:

Editor’s note: We will regularly update this list with new noise-cancelling headphones as they launch. We added the Phiaton Legacy 900 to the honorable mentions section.

1. Sony WH-1000xM4

The Sony WH-1000XM4 is a top-notch noise-cancelling headset. It looks nearly identical to its predecessor but features modern fixings like artificial intelligence (AI). High-quality Bluetooth codecs and a headphone jack are all present; on top of all that, Bluetooth multipoint has finally arrived. This means you may connect to two devices at once with the WH-1000XM4, but its implementation is limited. You can only use it when streaming over AAC, not LDAC or SBC.

One of the coolest features introduced with the latest flagship headset is speak-to-chat functionality. The headset will automatically detect when you’re speaking and pause playback. It works but is a little too sensitive for some users’ likings. Fortunately, you can always disable this function in the Headphones Connect app.

How does the Sony WH-1000XM4 noise-cancelling compare to the Sony WH-1000XM3? It has been improved, especially when it comes to low-frequency attenuation (where predictable hums like a jet engine fall). This makes the Sony WH-1000XM4 an even better travel companion than its predecessor.

Sony WH-1000XM4 microphone demo:

Microphone quality is also very good, and among the best in the market. Speech intelligibility was never an issue during testing, and while it can’t compare to a dedicated studio microphone, it can get you through any number of personal and professional calls. If you want a jack-of-all-trades, premium headset, look no further than Sony. Listeners on a tighter budget should consider Sony’s mid-tier offerings: the Sony WH-CH710N and Sony WH-CH700N.

2. Shure Aonic 50

If you want pure performance from your noise-cancelling headphones, get the Shure Aonic 50. They beat out Sony and Bose alike when it comes to filtering out low-end noise. Why didn’t we choose the Shure Aonic 50 as our top noise-cancelling pick? Even though performance and sound quality are excellent, the fact is that Sony’s headset is still the best all-around pick for most listeners.

If you have the budget and view noise-cancelling headphones as an investment, the Shure Aonic 50 is a smart choice. The ANC technology effectively blocks out humming A/C units, chatty roommates, and more. In times when many of us are forced to work from home, these noise-cancelling headphones could be your greatest productivity tool. Microphone quality is also great and certainly good enough for any conference call or video chat that you may have marked on your calendar.

Shure Aonic 50 microphone demo (firmware 0.4.9):

Shure equipped these Bluetooth 5.0 ‘phones with every Bluetooth codec you could want (aptX, aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, AAC, and LDAC), so you can enjoy high-quality audio no matter what smartphone you use.

3. Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700

As is the standard for Bose, the Bose Headphones 700 are supremely comfortable. If you’re taking a long flight and don’t want to worry about potential hot spots forming on your head, these are the best pick. Noise-cancelling performance is some of the best around—though, not quite as effective as Sony’s ANC technology. That said, Bose did make big improvements over the QC 35 II headset, and we appreciate the modern design which boasts an IPX4 rating.

These support both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, so you can easily make calendar events, set timers, dictate texts, and more without reaching for your phone. Gesture control takes a little getting used to but the touch panel ear cups are great at registering commands. AAC is supported but no aptX here, and Bose went with a weird 2.5mm input rather than the standard 3.5mm input for wired listening.

4. AKG N60NC

Just like the larger AKG headset, the AKG N60NC is well-designed and boasts great battery life. Although on-ear headphones with glasses aren’t nearly as comfortable as their over-ear counterparts, these are a unique exception. Most on-ears feel like the Beats Solo Pro, with painful clamping force applied to keep the headset on and block outside noise, but AKG masterfully balances fit and comfort with the N60NC.

The headphones reproduce a neutral-leaning sound, which means they handle virtually all genres of music well. Again, this is wholly dependent on being able to achieve a proper fit. If external noise breaks through the physical and ANC barrier, bass reproduction is the first to go. Generally speaking, the compact, lightweight design makes these a great pick for everyday listening.

5. Sennheiser PXC 550-II

For the best pair of noise-cancelling headphones under $200, get the Sennheiser PXC 550-II. These compact headphones fold up and rotate inward, so they may easily stow away in your carry-on or at your desk. Its plastic construction may be off-putting to some, but it’s a feature: it keeps the headset lightweight, and more comfortable for all-day wear.

Noise cancellation doesn’t outperform Sony or Shure, but it is more effective than Bose’s headphones when it comes to very low-frequency sounds. While the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 are feature-packed and a versatile pair of headphones, the PXC 550-II may be a better option for commuters and frequent flyers.

Sennheiser PXC 550-II microphone demo:

Microphone quality is ok, but we expect that to improve with firmware updates; this is something we’ve seen with other headsets like the Shure Aonic 50. Arguably the biggest drawback of the headset is its micro-USB charging input. This is annoying but forgivable considering the accessible price point. Battery life is very good and SoundGuys tested nearly 22 hours of playtime on a single charge.

Best noise-cancelling headphones: Honorable mentions

• Beats Solo Pro: These on-ear headphones are for anyone who’s constantly out and about, and doesn’t have the space for over-ear headphones.
• Bose QuietComfort 35 II: The Bose QC 35 II are a classic, and remain one of the most popular ANC headphones years after their release. If you value comfort and sound quality, get these headphones.
• Microsoft Surface Headphones 2: Office and remote workers who are stuck in conference calls should check out these headphones. Microsoft integrated a mute button on the right ear cup and intuitive sliding controls on the outer ring of each ear cup.
• Phiaton 900 Legacy: These headphones use hybrid ANC technology to cancel noise, and it works. The ANC performance rivals Bose and Sony, though it can’t outperform the household names’ headsets. The 900 Legacy uses Bluetooth 5.1 and supports aptX HD for high-quality wireless playback. You can learn more from the SoundGuys Phiaton 900 Legacy review.
• Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 3.0: Anyone who appreciates the finer things in life should save up for these luxurious noise-cancelling headphones.
• Sony WH-1000xM3: Sony’s at the top of its ANC headset game, and the XM3 reigned as noise-cancelling king before the WH-1000XM4 came around.

What about the Apple AirPods Max?

The Apple AirPods Max is Apple’s first over-ear headset, and it’s jam-packed with advanced technologies, including active noise-cancelling capabilities. Each headphone houses the H1 chip to maximize processing power required for tasks like ANC, Transparency mode, Spatial Audio, hands-free Siri commands, and more. Apple’s advanced DSP is akin to the one found in the AirPods Pro, and the headset uses Adaptive EQ to adjust the sound profile to the fit and seal of the ear pads.

According to SoundGuys’ first impressions of the AirPods Max, the noise-cancelling outperforms the Sony WH-1000XM4 and Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700. This isn’t all too surprising given how Apple invented ANC technology and made noise-cancelling true wireless earbuds a consumer mainstay.

What you should know about the best noise-cancelling headphones

There is a lot of technology packed into active noise-cancelling headphones, which is why they usually cost a lot of money. Let’s go over what you should know before buying a pair.

How does noise cancellation work?

Noise-cancelling headphones actively filter out external noise by way of destructive interference. There are also some more premium headsets that use hybrid noise-cancelling technology. This combines feedforward and feedback noise-cancelling techniques to greatly reduce low-frequency sounds. Not only does this improve audio clarity, but it may prevent noise-induced hearing loss since you’re less likely to increase the volume to unsafe levels.

Since these picks are so effective at blocking out your surroundings, you’ll want to keep an eye out for options with some variant of ambient aware mode if you spend a lot of time outside. This feature relays surrounding noise through the headset, keeping you aware when you need it.

What is a Bluetooth codec?

Bluetooth headphones all rely on Bluetooth codecs to properly transmit and receive audio signals. SBC is the default codec that all wireless headsets must support, think of it as a bare minimum requirement. When you get into more premium Bluetooth headsets, you’ll find options with AAC, aptX, aptX HD, and LDAC support.

Not all high-quality Bluetooth codecs perform equally well on all devices. Unfortunately, AAC streaming is volatile on the Android operating system and a consistent streaming rate is hard to maintain. This isn’t the case for iOS devices: iPhones handle the AAC codec well, and users benefit from high-quality audio without perceptible audio-visual lag.

There are different types of noise-cancelling headphones

Noise-cancelling audio products come in all shapes and sizes. The most popular, and effective, noise-cancelling headsets come in the form of over-ear headphones, but there exist a handful of solid on-ear and in-ear options too.

Each headset design has its advantages and disadvantages: over-ear headphones are generally more comfortable and provide the longest battery life, but true wireless noise-cancelling earbuds are by far the most portable option. Then again, totally wireless earbuds aren’t built for years and years of use, so that’s something to consider too.
