Insignia™ - Wireless Noise Canceling Over-the-Ear Headphones - Black

The first time I bought a headphone with the noise cancelling feature, it was a TCL a week before. That first experience was awful. The noise cancelling did not cancel any sound at all. The sound was terrible but the price was low. At the end I decide to return those and look for a better quality at a higher price. And a week later I discover this superior product with a great noise cancelling feature and crystal-clear sound. The price? $10 higher than the TCL. Yeah, It’s true! For only $79.99 you will be the owner of a great pair of headphones with a nice quality of audio and materials. The battery lasts 20 hours with the noise cancelling activated but without the noise cancelling it could last 40. It has a touch control that works perfectly they are so comfortable that you can stay with them for hours without problems. Thank God there still are companies producing great products, with excellent quality and at a low price out there.

Smooth balanced sound. The right balance of bass, treble and mid-range frequencies (I listen to everything from country to rap music along with audio books). I am not an audiophile, but for me, these headphones work great for working in the yard and working on my vehicles. Also being able to make an receive phone calls is a plus as I often am not able to pull out my phone to answer a call while I am performing a task (ever perform brake work on a vehicle?). The noise cancelling works quite well. A great buy for me and may be a great buy for you. Highly recommended to all.

these are amazing headphones! they have great noise cancelling feature that really works. when the feature is ON you can easily get lost in your world. Overall I'm happy with this purchase.

Sound quality is excellent, however, these headphones are very cheaply made and did not last long. In about a year, they had already fallen apart. The material is really cheap and the support doesn't help. I called Insignia before the warranty was up and they said to take it to BestBuy Geek Squad and the Geek Squad said I need to talk to the manufacturer since I did not purchase the additional warranty.

The Insignia NS-AHBTOENC wireless headphones are a very nice option for a comfortable listening experience at home, traveling or while working out. They incorporate an effective noise suppression and echo canceling system, use the latest Bluetooth 5.0 connection technology, have easy-to-operate controls and a very long battery life. And, since these are made by Best Buy’s Insignia brand, these features are all provided at a very economical price. Here are the key features: • Insignia Model NS-AHBTOENC noise-canceling over-the-ear Bluetooth headphones • Bluetooth 5.0 reception range up to 33 feet • Noise-canceling/suppression technology helps block external noises, may be switched on or off • Monitor function allows ambient sound to be easily heard while wearing headphones, may be switched on or off • Built-in microphone for making and receiving phone calls • Touch control on side of right earphone to raise/lower volume, next/previous track selection • Power, Bluetooth pairing, Monitor and Noise Cancel buttons on left earphone • Rechargeable internal lithium ion power source: 3.5 hours to fully charge with included micro USB connection cable • Headphones will operate up to 20 hours continuously from a full charge, 16 day standby time • Can also operate without using any power by connecting a 3.5 mm stereo cable to left earphone • 3.5 mm (headphone) male-to-male connection cable included • Easy to follow illustratedd quick set-up guide • Foldable design for compact storage • Size: 6.7 inches by 7.5 inches by 2.3 inches • Weight: 8.5 ounces • One year warranty on parts and labor Included in the box are the headphones, instructions, a 33 inch long micro USB charging cable and a 50 inch long 3.5 mm direct-connect wire cable. The quick set-up guide is comprehensive with step-by-step instructions for using the headphones, a trouble-shooting checklist, technical specifications and detailed explanations for using each feature. The headphones have a non-reflective black finish, substantial bass-producing drivers and super-soft memory-foam cushions on each headphone for superb comfort and noise isolation. First step is to charge the headphones. Just attach the charging cable, plug it into your computer or a USB outlet and LED lights will go out when they are fully charged (about 3.5 hours when fully discharged.) A red LED light next to the charging port goes out when the unit is fully charged. The stated music playing time of twenty hours seems right and may even be conservative. Next, press the power button for two seconds to turn them on – an audio prompt indicates when the power is on or off. Pair the earphones with your phone or other source via Bluetooth. Pressing the power button for four seconds initiates pairing. An audio prompt guides you, but my phone paired them very quickly and without drama. A blue LED indicates the connection has been made. The headphones are fully adjustable and the very soft pads completely and comfortably enclose most ears. I cannot stress enough how comfortable these headphones are. They are light (a bit over 8.5 ounces) and have plenty of adjustment range to enable a good fit. The earphone pads are fairly large (about 4 inches tall and 3 inches wide) so they qualify as “over ear” and they provide very good sound isolation. You can wear them for many hours in perfect comfort and your ears will thank you afterwards. Even without the noise-canceling function most external sounds are blocked. Pressing the ANC (automatic noise canceling) button turns on that feature and there is an audio announcement that it is active (or that it has been turned off.) The ANC technology is very effective for random noise. I turned on both my shower and bathroom sink faucet and the noise (which would normally be very loud) was just a faint hiss which I could easily ignore while listening to the music. Even without music playing the noise canceling feature was pretty effective. These would be great on a noisy airplane ride! The Insignia AHBTOENC headphones have a nice reproduction of mid-range notes and provide plenty of bass. I feel that their performance on upper range notes was not as faithful as some other (much more expensive) headphones I own so they may not meet the most demanding audiophile’s expectations. However, given their modest price and the bonus of the noise-canceling feature, these headphones will satisfy most users for casual listening. They are a perfect choice for traveling and would pass boring hours in airports and on planes with gold stars for quality, sound level and range. Like all good earphones these will respond to various voice commands, allow you to interact with Siri, take calls, etc. Each earphone has some controls. The right side has a nice touch pad which will raise/lower volume, skip tracks (forward and backward), pause and repeat tracks and has a microphone for use during calls. The left side turns the earphones on/off, handles Bluetooth pairing, activates the noise cancelation feature and also takes calls The Bluetooth 5.0 connection is super-reliable. I have used the headphones in my home and can walk 35 to 40 feet from my phone without a connection break. If you lose connection it quickly restores itself when you come back into range. Bottom line - the Insignia AHBTOENC noise-canceling Bluetooth headphones are an excellent value for music fans who want a very comfortable headset, superb noise isolation and a dependable travel partner. I have given this item four stars, losing one star only because the music reproduction was just not as good as I would hope. However, on balance, I think you will be happy with this purchase!

I am very please with these Insignia Over Ear BT Noise Cancelling Headphones. I use them mostly for cutting lawn and other outside chores. Controls: The right ear pad is a touch pad that with simple tap or swipe gestures you can fully control the music, answers calls etc. Only problem I have (and maybe there is a purpose for this) But when I swipe from the middle with one finger down to turn down the volume, I can hold my finger there and the volume will keep going down. For some reason this does not work for turning Vol up. You must keep swiping up.A little annoying.(Reason for - 1 star) My favorite function is the MONITOR function. This allows you to pause the music and amplify your surroundings. Great when someone wants to start talking to you when you while you are jamming out to music. Simply press and hold the touch pad with your palm or more than 2 fingers to enter this mode. Works great! Noise cancelling: Works great, Barely hear my tractor when music is playing. You can turn this function off, but everything sounds better with it on, so leave it that way. Bluetooth: Average distance. No problems at all when my phone is on or near me. Sound: Nice sound overall with plenty of bass. Battery: Used Multiple days on same charge. Never ran out, I simply charge after second or third use. Specs state up to 20 hr's of music playback. I believe that is close. 3.5 mm Jack Allows you to listen to music with your headphones off. Comfort / Portability: They are comfortable to me for as long as I wear them, which is on average 2-3 hours. As most over the ear designs, they may be a little warm in hot weather are a while. No case comes with these, which is a little surprising. Each ear piece only folds up toward the head band which do no make them real portable. I have another pair that allows the earpiece to fold 90 degrees to flatten out, much better for a briefcase etc. Obviously portability was not the goal with these headphones. Conclusion: You really can't go wrong with these noise cancelling headphones if you are a casual user and do not need them to fold flat. I have always been pleasantly surprised with Insignia headphones readability. I still have a pair of On ear BT headphones from probably 10 yr's ago that still work great.

I'll start this off with some of the negatives. These are not ideal for the gym. They're bulky looking when wearing and at the gym you'll just look silly. Although they don't move around really if you do workout with them and if you don't care how they look on you in public. I also dont think they offer the best "boom" or bass for what they are, but I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S10+ so I'm curious if thats a reason. They don't seem to get overly loud however as of writing this while listening to music on my Pixelbook, these seem to get louder than they do on my phone. I got these for my Pixelbook purposes so I'm happy that the experience is better than it is on my phone. I have a different pair of earbuds specific for my phone and I thought these would be more beneficial using with my Pixelbook due to the Pixelbook speakers not being ideal and I'll say I'm satisfied in that aspect. They offer great noise cancelling for music, though phone calls I was told my wife could hear our baby crying in the background ( used this as a test to determine if she could heard the baby, wasn't neglecting just seemed like a good situation to quickly test ) Even in this situation though, she was able to still hear my clearly and she came in crystal clear as well. The headphones are very soft around the ears, very comfortable and overall has a lightweight feel to them when on your head. The touch controls work nicely and offer all the controls you need if your someone using this with your phone. The controls are very responsive with how you slide on the touch area. I like how adjustable the band of the headphones can get and I'm also impressed with how the earpieces themselves retract in, making these headphones pretty easy/convenient to store. I'd recommend these headphones for those that want a comfortable experience with decent sound quality. I think with an equalizer control these could be great headphones for the cost, especially with the battery life they offer. Perfect for passenger car rides or just laying around the house not needing to worry about the noises around you.

Out of the box these are some nice impressive headphones. Included in the packaging is the headphones, usb charging cable, a 3.5 mm audio cable, and a little owners manual/pamphlet to describe the operations of the buttons and touch surface. They can collapse for a smaller footprint for storage purposes. Put these headphones on and had them paired up to my iPhone XR in seconds. Fast and easy to use in the pairing process. These headphones are an over the ear design and the ability to have noise cancellation is a great feature. Turned these on and listened to some music by Toby Mac “The Elements” and it sounded fantastic. Was really impressed by the deep bass these headphones were able to crank out. The sound and tones were clear and I truly wasn’t expecting this kind of sound quality. I feel like these headphones are a bargain compared to more costly options so you can have a status symbol to show off. I like the fact I can use these via wireless Bluetooth but also utilize the audio cable and listen to the headphones in a wired format if I needed to. The noise canceling and sound isolation is a great feature when I want to enjoy my music and not be bothered by outside surroundings and noise. Comes in handy for me while I mow the lawn on my riding mower to block out the loud engine, sitting at work and blocking out coworkers chatter. The battery life is a stated 20 hours and I’m sure it can stand the test of time. I wore these for about 3 hours of watching basketball the other night and the sound and comfort was spectacular. Ear hugging comfort with soft cushioning is a must and these felt great. Using the touchpad surface on the right ear takes a little getting used to but it’s nice to have. Slide up or down for volume controls, and slide left and right for track skipping. Built in microphone worked well for my phone calls as my receiving party was able to hear me loud and clear. These are a good looking pair of headphones without any big logos to proclaim to the world what brand of headphones you’re wearing. They fit really well and offer nice comfort and cushioning. The sound is very good and I would say on par with many top tier brands. PRO: Quality sound Noise cancellation Great padding and comfort Clean looks Foldable design CON: Touch surface to control music content takes some getting used to
