However, there have been some reports of the side buttons on the right ear cup being a bit fiddly to use. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Users have reported skipping tracks forwards when they wanted to go backwards and also turning the headphones off by accident due to the power button being a little too close to the skip buttons.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">DESIGN: 5\/5<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">AKG decided to make some design improvements to this new wireless version of the N60NC model. The earcups have been treated to slightly thicker padding, and the new headband doesn&#8217;t clamp down on your head as tightly, so they are much more comfortable to wear, especially when you need to make long calls. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The battery life is rated to last up to 15 hours with both Bluetooth and noise canceling engaged &#8211; not so great, but they will last for up to 30 hours with noise cancelling enabled in wired mode. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When it comes to choosing between on and over-ear model, everyone has their own preferences. AKG has done a very good job of making sure their on-ears are as comfortable as possible &#8211; weighing in at 98g.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">NOISE CANCELLATION: 4\/5<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The noise cancelling ability of these headphones is pretty good, as should be expected for the price. However, the AKG N60NC Wireless headphones lose a mark for the lack of a sidetone function (a nifty feature that enables you to listen to your voice through the headphones as you talk). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At this price point, it is fair to expect such a feature. That being said, the wired version of the AKG N60 NC worked well, and it\u2019s the same deal here. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These noise cancelling headphones work well in wireless mode, and they are able to provide you with a clean, balanced sound. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As always, there is a slight drop off in quality when you switch to wireless mode but you always have the option of using the provided cable when you need to.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">SOUND QUALITY: 4\/5 <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Good, but it could be better. It\u2019s nice to have the option of going wireless but there is a noticeable difference in terms of sound quality when you switch between the two \u201cmodes\u201d. When the wire is attached, the sound is great &#8211; nice and rich across all frequency bands. A bit of this is lost when switching to Bluetooth, and as a result, the bass loses some of its punch and the treble doesn\u2019t shine through as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Audio-Technica ATH-ANC9<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Type:<\/strong> Over-ear<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Noise cancellation:<\/strong> Active\/Passive<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Wireless:<\/strong> Yes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Battery life:<\/strong> 25-30 hours (depending on the type of batteries)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Price:<\/strong> $114.99<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Release date:<\/strong> March 2012<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_1589\" style=\"width: 4090px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1589\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1589\" src=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/ath_anc9_1_sq.jpg\" alt=\"Audio-Technica ATH-ANC9\" width=\"4080\" height=\"4080\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1589\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: audio-technica.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">EASE OF USE: 4\/5<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The ANC9s provide a comfortable fit, even for long stretches of time. Audio Technica uses memory foam in the cups and along the headband, which does heat up a little bit, but never enough to be uncomfortable. The cup covers are easily removed, in case you want to give them a wipe down or replace them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Audio-Technica ATH-ANC9s are a great-sounding pair of noise cancelling headphones, but you&#8217;ll have to keep a packet of AAA batteries handy if you want to get the most out of them. This will gall some music lovers, especially when Audio-Technica is asking $115 for them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The sales package is rather generous, though, with a tough-shell case, an alternative hands-free cable with a microphone and a two-prong airplane adapter; but a rechargeable battery would definitely have been the icing on the cake.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">DESIGN: 4\/5<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The ANC9s provide a comfortable fit, even for long stretches of time. Audio Technica uses memory foam in the earcups and on the headband, which creates a comfortable fit. The cup covers are easily removed, which makes it easy to clean and replace them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A negative with this model is that it doesn\u2019t ship with a rechargeable battery. This means that to get the most out of the headphones, you will need to keep spare AAA batteries with you whenever you use them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">NOISE CANCELLATION: 5\/5<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Audio-Technica ATH-ANC9 headphones have three noise cancelling modes: Airplane, Office and Study. Audio-Technica explains the differences between them as: Airplane mode cuts 95% of environmental noise at 200Hz, Office 95% at 300Hz and Study 85% at 200Hz. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Each mode works well, and it\u2019s always nice to have some control over your gadgets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The noise cancelling process is handled by f<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">our microphones (two mics in each cup), which sample ambient noise and produce the cancelling effect. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This works perfectly but those four mics are power-hungry. You will have to use replaceable AAA batteries with this model, but Audio-Technica does claim that the ATH-ANC9 will provide you with 30 hours of noise-cancellation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">SOUND QUALITY: 5\/5 <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Audio-Technica ANC9 sound great, and even better with noise cancelling switched on (with other headphones, the sound quality is known to suffer when the noise-canceling function is activated). To give you an idea of how: when switched on, it has a similar effect to a loudness boost on an MP3 player.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The audio is well replicated across all frequencies. The highs are snappy, and the bass has nice rumble. It\u2019s the mids that really impress here though. The ANC9 is great at making sure you get to hear your favourite tracks in proper detail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A bonus here is that if your batteries run out, these headphones will work in a passive capacity. This does affect the sound quality slightly (passive mode certainly favours the bass with these cans), but the sound is still good, nonetheless.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Plantronic BackBeat Pro 2<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Type:<\/strong> Over-ear<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Noise cancellation:<\/strong> Active<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Wireless:<\/strong> Yes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Battery life:<\/strong> 24 hours <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Price:<\/strong> $139.95<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Release date:<\/strong> August 2018<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_1590\" style=\"width: 324px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1590\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1590\" src=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/img.png\" alt=\"Plantronic BackBeat Pro 2\" width=\"314\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/img.png 314w, https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/img-242x300.png 242w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 314px) 100vw, 314px\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1590\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: plantronics.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">EASE OF USE: 5\/5<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Plantronic BackBeat Pro 2 has been designed to make the cans as simple to use as possible. All of the buttons and connectors are in sensible places, and the battery life (you will get a full 24 hours at moderate volume levels) and Bluetooth connection strength is more than adequate. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The cloth carry pouch is nice, and these headphones work excellently as a headset for making phone calls. An added bonus is the addition of the \u201cside tone\u201d feature. This allows you to listen to your own voice as you talk, should you wish to do so. They also included a cable, so you can use the BackBeat Pro 2 as wired headphone &#8211; if necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">DESIGN: 5\/5<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Plantronic has managed to slim the headphones down by about 35%, and reduce their weight by about 15% as well. I doing so, they have made their product look much sleeker, and the weight and size reduction has made them more comfortable to wear and use. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"WinBanner\" class=\"Banners\"><img src=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/Extra\/images\/Windows_Headphones.jpg\" alt=\"banner\" \/><\/div>\n<div id=\"MacBanner\" class=\"Banners\"><img src=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/Extra\/images\/Mac_Headphones.jpg\" alt=\"banner\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The BackBeat Pro 2 also has sensors that enable you to pause and resume playing your music whenever you take your headphones off, or put them on. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are also another couple of handy features: one is that you can answer calls automatically by putting the cans over your ears, the other is the addition of a mute button on the right earcup, allowing you to mute your voice &#8211; something which can be useful when you&#8217;re on a conference call and don&#8217;t want other people on the line to be distracted by whatever is going on in background at your end. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The company has really done a sterling job of updating the design of their product.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">NOISE CANCELLATION: 5\/5<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When comparing the noise cancelling technology in these headphones with the BackBeat Pro, it is notable how much Plantronic has improved things in its latest incarnation of the BackBeat Pro. The headphones deliver above and beyond what you find in similar priced noise cancelling headphones on the market. You will have no problem using these in a noisy office or packed commute.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">SOUND QUALITY: 5\/5 <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The sound quality delivered by the Plantronic BackBeat Pro 2 is definitely an improvement on the original BackBeat Pro. In fact, in terms of sound quality and overall headset performance goes, these cans are not too far behind the more expensive offerings from companies like Bose. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Pro 2s also function perfectly as a Bluetooth headphone, and calls and music are clear because of the excellent noise cancelling technology within.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">FINAL THOUGHTS:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Each of these<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/ultimate-guide-best-noise-cancelling-headphones\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">noise cancelling headphones<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> come with different pros, cons, features, and price points. After weighing up the pros and cons of each, the Plantronic BackBeat Pro 2 comes out on top. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The amount of features, and quality of sound that you get for the price made this an easier decision than it might have been had the BackBeat Pro 2 been $50 more expensive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s also worth mentioning that Plantronic offers a special-edition model, it\u2019s priced at about $50 more and comes with a hard carrying case and supports NFC, so you can easily pair the headphone with any &#8220;tap to pair&#8221; devices \u00a0that you might have.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are still struggling to make your mind up, don\u2019t forget to check out our handy<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/ultimate-guide-best-noise-cancelling-headphones\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ultimate noise cancellation headphones guide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Good luck in choosing your new set of noise cancelling headphones!
