Review on Black Wireless Headphones from Audio-Technica - ATH-ANC700BTBK by Agata Kowalik ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Does not meet my expectations, it was not worth buying.

My first bluetooth headphones and first noise canceling device. Disappointed in both technologies. I bought it to replace a broken wired ATH-M40x, but there are much more problems with new technologies than positive moments. As a result, you have to listen over the wire (so as not to mess around with reconnecting on different devices) and without noise reduction (without it, the sound is better, but it still does not cut off office noise).

Pros
  • * Tightly sit; * Do not put pressure on the head / ears during long-term (4-5 hours) wearing; * Long battery life; * Good detailed sound (I listen to modern jazz and podcasts); * Work by wire.
Cons
  • * Adjustment arms are located high - it is inconvenient to adjust the size with one hand (on older ATH-M40x it is easier to adjust). * Noise reduction system "about nothing". Noise cancellation can only cut off distant white noise and wind on the street. The sounds of the subway, cars and highways are not. Repairs from neighbors, a drill and a hammer drill, the sound of a hammer and any household noises - no. This all falls under the "noise around you is not attenuated" category. There is no point in such "noise reduction" at all (it always turns on automatically when the headphones are turned on) - the very tightness of the cups already provides sufficient silence. * Poor bluetooth connection. I have three devices and the headphones cannot reconnect between them. After working with the phone, every time you have to reset the bluetooth settings on the headphones in order to connect to the laptop and vice versa. After working on bluetooth with one device, it is no longer possible to connect to another. * Touch control does not work the first time, it is difficult to get to the right place and does not work with gloves. It is easier to control from your phone or other device than the built-in touch buttons. * When talking through headphones using the built-in microphone, the interlocutors report that they hear themselves when talking. * 2.5 mm mini jack cord plug with narrow inlet. It is simply impossible to find a third-party wire, and the wire in the kit is flimsy and short.
