![]() ![]() Call controls: We used the volume controls and mute buttons to see if they were easy to reach and use.We ranked the headsets based on how heavy or tight they felt and how comfy the padding in the headband or cans was. Comfort: Since comfort is subjective, we had people of different head sizes try each headset.And we listened to this amazingly immersive virtual barber-shop recording (video) to see how much detail the headsets picked up. We listened while ambient noise-train whistles, leaf blowers, planes flying overhead, television in the background-spiraled around us. Noise cancelling and speaker quality: We listened to how clear other parties sounded through the headsets, and how much detail we could make out when listening to music.In particular, we considered how clear and crisp our voices were, and whether the mic picked up too much background noise. Microphone quality: Since call quality is paramount for office headsets, we made several vocal recordings to test microphone quality.Value: We determine value after evaluating the strength of the headphones and earbuds against all these criteria and what they're able to deliver compared to other models in their price class.Voice-calling: When we test voice-calling performance, we make calls in the noisy streets of New York and evaluate how well the headphones or earbuds reduce background noise and how clearly callers can hear our voice.We also take a look at the companion app for the headphones if there is one and how user friendly it is. These include everything from quick-access awareness to transparency modes (your music pauses and the headphones open up to the outside world so you can have a conversation) to special sound modes to ear-detection sensors that automatically pause your music when you take the headphones off your ears. Extra features: Some great-sounding noise-canceling headphones and earbuds aren't loaded with features, but we do take into account what extra features are on board.Then we head out to the streets of New York to test the headphones in a real-world environment where we see how they do muffling not only street noise but people's voices. Noise-canceling performance: We evaluate noise-canceling performance by wearing the headphones in the same spot indoors near a noisy HVAC unit to see how well they do at muffling lower frequencies. ![]() Sonic traits such as bass definition, clarity, dynamic range and how natural the headphones sound are key factors in our assessment. Sound quality: We evaluate sound quality by listening to a set playlist of music tracks and comparing the earbuds to top competing products in their price range. ![]() When it comes to earbuds, we also look at water- and dust-resistance ratings. Design: Evaluating design, we assess not only how comfortable the headphones and earbuds fit (their ergonomics) but their build quality and how well the controls are implemented.The 450BT noise-canceling headphones list for $200, but usually cost around $150 although they have dipped to as low as $100 in flash sales (they're a good value at that price). The new headphone model is called the 450BT and it has some notable upgrades, including better battery life (up to 30 hours with noise canceling on), USB-C charging, Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX support for devices like the Samsung Galaxy smartphones that support it and more comfortable earpads. Sennheiser 450BT: Sennheiser updated its well-regarded 4.50BTNC noise-canceling headphones in 2020. Read the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 review. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3: Featuring excellent sound, improved noise canceling and voice-calling performance as well a smaller, more refined design that includes stabilizing fins (so the earbuds stay in your ears more securely), the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 are among the best true-wireless earbuds, giving the Sony WF-1000XM4 a run for the money. They feature a big, energetic sound with powerful bass and good detail (however, they take a day or two to break in). ![]() Their design is something of a throwback but the headphones are comfortable and both fold up and fold flat. Technics EAH-A800: There's a bit of an old-school vibe to the Technics EAH-A800 - and it's not just the Technics brand, which Panasonic resurrected in the last few years. ![]()
