Best Ambient Noise Killing Meeting Headphones

Best headphones I’ve ever had. Love that I can hear the ambient noise as well. Much safer.

Best noise cancelling headphones in the market right now

These AfterShokz OpenMove Wireless Bone Conduction Open-Ear Bluetooth Headphones are well made and the sound quality is very good. They let you hear music and phone calls without blocking ambient sounds. Headphones with noise cancellation are fine if you want to block out ambient noise. But noise cancellation or even sound deadening aren’t desirable when driving a car, jogging or just being out for a walk when you need to hear traffic, horns honk and the like. Even in an office environment, you can listen to music or do a virtual meeting and still hear your boss yell at you. LOL. Seriously, these are perfect when you want to listen to music or an audio book but need to be alert to your surroundings.

With regular headphones I always had to turn up the volume way too loud to hear over the ambient noise at the gym. Now I can put in some earplugs and hear my music at a peaceful level. So much safer for my hearing! The tiny controls are a little difficult for my arthritic hands, but I can manage.

Over the ear headphones reduce ambient noise. Sound quality is very good for mono headphones.

By far the best headphones I have had for a while. The autoswitching between full noise cancelling and ambient sound as you move/transit is very clever. Sound is superb, but the real ace is the noise cancelling.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who has never had a “high-end” pair of headphones these are absolutely incredible. The sound is perfect – deep, rich and with great range. They also offer 360 Reality Audio (with accompanying subscription or trial to compatible streaming service), which is mind blowing. It’s a totally immersive surround sound experience for your headphones. The noise-cancellation feature works well – low level background noise (air conditioner, keyboard clicks, etc) are totally removed while louder noise are substantially muted. Comfort while wearing is good but my ears do feel a bit squeezed after wearing for more a couple hours – hoping that goes away with more frequent usage. The Bluetooth connection is easy to setup, stable and allows up to 2 devices to connect to the headphones at the same time. Most settings are managed through the app - I'd prefer to skip another app install but it’s light and well organized. There are also some interesting software features that I wasn’t expecting like ambient noise control, which changes the level of ambient sound that’s blocked based on location or activity (think, more cancellation in a seated environment vs more ambient noise for awareness while walking on the street). Speak-to-chat is another handy feature that turns off the noise cancelling when you start to talk. The touchpad on the ear is also a convenient way to control volume, tracks, play/pause and answer calls. Overall, I’m very impressed with these headphones and would highly recommend.

I was between this ones and the Bose since i needed noise cancelling headphones. My first experience was that the design was just perfect fit for me and it was easy to install and connect to my iphone. The noise cancelling in airplanes works perfectly and the ambient sound is perfect to keep listening to any song and hearing any incoming sound. the manual controls to increase or reduce volume, switching songs and ambient sound is really easy and with one hand. I really recommend this product since the price is one of the lowest for a high quality headphones. Also the audio quality exceeds my expectations. And the battery allows you to use for non-stop for many hours, at least 13 non-stop. Amazing right?

When on a call other side doesn't complain about ambient noise coming from me. Noise cancellation works well. The spring tension keeps the signal pads firm against my skull but not uncomfortably firm.

Without a doubt the BEST headphones I’ve ever owned, the sound, the noise cancelling, the transparency mode all top tier. They’re comfortable for long periods of time and I love that the design is slim to the head for a very sleek look. As well as the control joy stick is genius I love everything about these headphones
