Review on Enhance Your Audio Experience with the Lenovo Yoga ANC Headphone Mica by Vivian Jackson

In the preface to this review I would like to say that to be honest I didn't expect anything special. Lenovo isn't an audio company, after all, and as a person with a lot of Lenovo hardware, they haven't put much effort into audio until now. These headphones are pretty impressive though, I mean at this price point, but they have serious competition at this price point. I sat down to write this review and pulled out several headphones to compare against the same pieces of music for complete clarity before writing this review. I will say that they more than live up to expectations and exceeded expectations. Lenovo's active noise canceling headphones have a good range and very good stereo separation and localization. The sound is neutral and balanced, they have tight bass without being heavy. Mids and highs are not lost. The sound is accurate enough. You can identify and locate instruments in space, hear instrument clefs and string reverberation. At some point they can be quite beautiful. They're very close to being best in class but face serious competition from Sony. I think it depends on what sound profile you prefer. I find the Lenovo a bit brighter and the Sony x700 a bit richer. Both are really great headphones for the price. I found the noise cancellation to be pretty good, but I think the Sony does it a little better. As I was wearing them in the yard this morning I could still hear a few birds. With the Sony on, I didn't notice a thunderstorm right outside my door when I was a few feet away. Both killed my creaky keyboard and made it difficult for my family to get my attention. They don't block the voice 100% but make it the background. Headphones are light and comfortable. They have good padding that doesn't muffle the sound and doesn't heat up. The strap is adjustable but the adjustment is a bit off. They fit well and are comfortable for a long time. I haven't tried the phone's features yet because I've tested them with my FIIO, which is my preferred source, and I'm using the best source I have. . I'll try them out with one of my tablets at some point, which I do when the FIIO wears out, but usually not before then. These are nice headphones suitable for street wear. They are beautifully designed and solidly built. They also come with a nice and well-designed semi-hard case with cable pocket. The case may even lie in the harsh conditions of airline use. The phones are foldable and very portable. They come with 40mm neodymium magnets, like the Sony, and a pair of Jabras in the same price range, which is nice too. I preferred Lenovo to Jabras sound. They were easier to control than the Sony, which actually made me push the boundaries of my FIIO and consider placing a headphone amp between two Blue Tooth devices. Lenovo has done a great job with FIIO and the volume can be adjusted on either end. I had a small problem with the multiswitches. There are 2 of them, in addition to On/Off/Blue Tooth. One lets you turn the volume up or down or skip tracks, the other lets you make calls. It's easy to get confused between 3 with 9 functions and I've switched songs when I wanted to change the volume and vice versa. Compatible with Android, Mac and Windows, they use Bluetooth 5.0 and the following formats: SBC / AAC / aptX / aptXLL / HP1.7 / mSBC kHz Impedance: 32 ohms Max. input power: 30 mW. Sensitivity (SPL): >111dBm ± 3dBm. THD+ Noise at -3dBFS: -77dB. Dynamic range: 110 dB. For those of you who pay attention to such things. (I always like to see the properties). All in all it's a very impressive sound, far beyond what I expected. That I had to get my Sony out to compare them side by side says a lot because I put the Sennheisers aside, well they were the 1000s and they're in a whole different price range.
