Review on Phiaton 120 Black Wireless Headphones by Johnnie Bowlan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Noise Isolation + ACTIVE Noise Cancellation really helps when working out at the gym

I listen to music or podcasts and occasionally watch downloaded Netflix files on the devices. You have no idea how much noise there is in the gyms, especially with all the equipment. That's why I stopped wearing headphones without silicone tips. Even then it's pretty loud. I have an exercise bike at home, but to keep cool I use a 20 inch box fan at full blast. Noise, noise, noise. These earbuds feature silicone tips and active noise cancellation that will greatly improve your hearing. Observe how some headphones say they have noise cancellation, but it appears to be noise cancellation for your microphone so people on the other end don't hear as much noise during a call. Let's say ACTIVE NOISE CANCELING, and there's almost always a separate switch so you can use them without ANC, which reduces battery life. When you wear a shirt you will forget you are wearing it within minutes. The cables going to the headphones are a little thick, but I'm glad to see this - the latest pair of neckband ANC headphones I've used, much thinner wires and for about the year or so it's been clear that the Wires were worn out on one side. Sound quality in music was par for the course - small drivers in headphones will never match 40mm or 50mm drivers in headphones - so mids and highs are expectedly fine, but bass is so-so. The sound quality for phone calls was excellent on both sides, but people on the other side complained about wind noise when I went outside in moderate winds. This is not uncommon and I've had this issue with several other headphones.
