Overview
Not an earbud or a wired-only studio set, this Soundcore model is an over-ear Bluetooth headset with hybrid noise cancelling and a cable for wired listening. The soundcore app sets the EQ and moves between noise cancelling, normal and transparency modes.
Battery stamina with noise cancelling running is the reason to look here, along with a quick top-up when it runs low. Two connected devices and app tuning help people who switch between a laptop and a phone. The limit is that wired mode loses noise cancelling and the build is not rated against water.
Who it's for
People on long flights, crowded commutes or open-plan offices get noise cancelling that lasts for days of use. Gym users and runners in the rain should look for a sweat or water rated set instead.
Pros and cons
- Long battery life with ANC running
- Fast top-up from a short charge
- Connects to two devices simultaneously
- Transparency mode for announcements
- ANC unavailable in AUX mode
- Not water resistant
- Carrying case not among included items
- Warranty term listed without units
Performance notes
Noise reduction comes from built-in microphones that sample outside sound and cancel it, which works on steady drones better than sudden voices. BassUp shapes the low end in wireless mode, while the cable bypasses the wireless path for the Hi-Res certified signal. Battery figures drop when noise cancelling runs, so the stated playtime already assumes it is on.
