Audio-Technica - QuietPoint ATH-ANC700BT Wireless Noise Cancelling Over-the-Ear Headphones - Black

I have big ears, so most "around the ear" headphones don't fit entirely around my ears, or they will be too shallow, but these headphones both fit around my ear nicely and are deep enough to where my ears don't touch anything, and it's worth mentioning that these don't get overheated or sweaty like most other noise canceling cushions do. The sound quality is great both with or without using the noise canceling switch, and the battery lasts super long. I have yet to see it completely drain, which is something I can't say about most other headphones. The sound is nice and clear, and it doesn't get anxiety inducing loud like I've experienced with other over-the-ear models. My only complaint about these is that the quality of the bass is greatly reduced when using the noise canceling feature. Often times I'll have the noise canceling off if I have no sound in the background to drown out, which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

I had been interested in purchasing an over-the-ear noise canceling headphone for a while but the price of the solid brands put me off. I walked into Best Buy and these were on clearance. Yes it is an older model with Bluetooth 4.2 but when you have a reputable brand, even their leftovers are going to be worth owning. The controls take a bit to get used to, but I tend to use my phone to select songs and see who's calling before I answer anything. The touch control tends to lead to some accidents when you're trying to adjust them on your head so that is definitely a pain the the rear. The NC activates as soon as you turn the power on so if you don't want it immediately you have to manually turn it off. I've also had it not respond to the touch control a few times too but I paid less than half of the original price so we'll see how it goes in the long run.

Pros: Great performance and sound quality. Very comfortable. I've bought a lot of headsets and earbuds. These are the best. Superior and easy to connect Bluetooth connection. Cons: Though cheaper than the similar quality Bose they are still a bit pricey. Not sure they are worth the full price. Get them on sale or use your rewards points to get them like I did.

Build and sound quality is good, battery lasts a long time, but lack of volume keeps it at four stars.

It works really well. I work in a factory and can hear every thing. The only thing I wish it had was buttons insted of a touch pad. I have a hard time finding the pause area.

Very comfortable and great sound. Wasn't that impressed at first out of the box, but then I tweaked my eq and atmos settings on my phone, and then they really impressed. Upscaling with the included cable (not possible with bluetooth, cord only) also improves the sound, but only incrementally; in my opinion, not enough to warrant the loss of mobility bluetooth gives. I actually think they sound better with noise cancelling on rather than off, regardless of ambient noise. Way more comfortable and sound way better than the sennheiser 4.4 I also considered and returned once I heard these. As for the criticism about the controls- are you serious? I learned to love them in about a minute and a half. And no, I dont see the fingerprint problem some reviews mention, either. Or maybe I just wash my hands more than some users. For the $70 I paid on clearance down from $199, these are a serious no brainer-they're worth the original full price, even if I'm too cheap to ever have paid that, lol. By the way, I'm a tech director and use a lot of high end gear in sound and video editing, not a novice, and have no professional affiliation with A/T, just appreciate this product. I'll update this review if negatives do emerge though.

Purchased these for my wife and they are extraordinarily comfortable. The sound is great and the battery life is also long lasting

Easy to set up and use, very little slippage between audio and visuals when used wireless viewing images on screen. Deep "enough" base and sound masking is superb. No reason to spend twice the price for big name phones that do the same thing
