Headphone silence; for me, the very definition of peace. For those moments, the outside world is quiet, and you can just enjoy the company that is your own. Whether it’s music, a gruff voice reading out Andrzej Sapkowski’s tales, or some podcast going full frontal drama in your ears, the moment is yours and everything else feels, almost, paused. If this sounds as ideal to you as it does to me, then you’re going to need to be keeping your ears out for headphones that come with noise cancellation, well, good noise cancellation.
*Whispers Winx Vibe Pure ANC Headphones
Perked your ears? Well, the Winx Vibe Pure ANC Headphones’ standout quality is its active noise cancellation. Pop these on and hear… nothing, pretty much.
The Winx Vibe Pure ANC Headphones are a neat set of over-ear Bluetooth headphones that come with Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation. Overall, they aren’t something to call home about with regards to sound quality, not that it’s at all bad, but the noise cancellation is where it’s at. They’re comfortable enough to wear during the day and they lasted a whole day (not 24 hours, I mean a day of regular people living, so, like, 8 hours) without me needing to give them a charge and there was no voice in my ear telling me the batteries were low. Another neat little feature is the voice they’ve used actually pronounces all the words clearly, which shows they’ve put in a little effort instead of just using some… other country’s default setting. *cough bwootooth connected-ah successfully *cough cough
The headphones also come with a neat little carry box, which the headphones fold into, that you can toss into your gym bag on your way out the door, and a 3.5mm cable in case you forgot to charge them, but still need to hit that vibe you’re craving. They’re lightweight and seemed to stick to my head pretty well while doing a few laps of jogging and the Bluetooth connection remained crystal clear the entire time, although I wouldn’t be wearing them for an intense run or a quick spin on a dirt bike. The multi-function buttons also allow you to drop and accept calls, however, the built-in microphone sounds like you’re “standing on the other end of a warehouse, trying to tell me something”.
If you’re the kind of person that spends a lot of your day on your feet walking around the office or the streets, or wherever you are, and you enjoy listening to your own music and ignoring everyone else out there, then this seat of headphones is for you. They’re feature packed and feel like a quality headset, and the noise cancellation is exactly what you need to ignore that one guy who can’t stop talking about his new jeans.
