OVC Active Noise Cancelling Earbuds Earphone Wired ANC Headphone - 60 Hours Playtime, Dual Driver, Bass Enhancement, Volume Control with Microphone, 3.5mm Plug for Android (Green)

I bought them to replace the default earphones that came with my Samsung S7 edge and my dead Apple earbuds. Since I often travel (monthly flights... sorry carbon footprint :-S), I wanted to try the active noise cancelling feature without paying a fortune. I have to say that I'm pleased with these OVC! Even if the sound quality doesn't reach the one of my Klipsch home system or my now also dead around the ear Bose headset (hey, we are talking about earbuds after all!), these OVC have quite good sound quality! It is better than my previous basic Samsung and Apple earbuds, while keeping the form factor to something convenient to carry. The bass are better because of the in-ear design, but without the discomfort of it (I usually struggle with in-ear earbuds, but not these since they don't have to go completely in). Instead of using the "suction" of the ear canal like most in ear earbuds (which I usually find uncomfortable), they use a small silicon "finger" to help them to stay in place! That's very comfy if you have "compatible" ears. Some with small ears might want smaller silicon tip than the two sizes that comes in the package however. I prefer the sound quality with the bass boost off, it's more defined and flat. In this setup, the active noise cancelling is more efficient also. And wow! This function is very impressive! It cancels most background sounds, and that for hours with the claimed 60 h endurance! I was very surprised how efficient it is (disclaimer, this is my first contact with active noise cancelling). This allow me to listen to music to a lower volume, and this is way comfier, and I can pay more attention to details in the music or while listening news. It made me realize that it makes no sense to use the best headphones in the world if the delicacy of the sound is polluted by all the surrounding noises! I'll bring them with me in the plane for sure, but not only there! They shine in the subway or loud environment, and where there is little noise like, let say, a small fan or refrigerator motor that can become disturbing. So yeah, conclusion: Clearly recommended! It does the job very well and for a good price! And not only have a decent sound quality (for earbuds), but allow to perceive all the detail because of the capacity to isolate you from the surrounding noisy environment... So, there is no need to boost the volume to levels where others earphone (and these too) would produce distortion.

I bought these for to use for the noise-canceling feature, but that feature is non-existent in these otherwise nice looking (though a bit complicated) earbuds that come in a very nice case. But the false advertising is not ok or to be tolerated or accepted.

I took these on my recent trip and they did not cancel the plane noise as I had hoped they would so I returned them!

It did not actively or passively cancel ambient noise.

Sound amazing, highs are crisp, mids are warm, bass is noticeable but not deep.I have cauliflower ear on one ear, the original rubber buds do not fit had to resort to different foam plugs.

Unfortunately, even after fully charging, the noise cancelation is barely noticeable.The sound quality is a bit metallic.
