Linner NC80 Active Noise Cancelling Headphones, Bluetooth Headphones with Microphone Hi-res Audio Wireless Headphones On Ear Touch Controls with 34H Playtime for Travel Work Gaming- Black

Overall I am pleased with these headphones, but I think there are a few spots they can improve in to really knock it out of the park. I have a pair of the Linner NC50 Noise Cancelling Earbuds and I have been happy with them over the past few months, but I have been looking for a new pair that are not buds for at work and traveling. These headphones are a nice upgrade from the buds in my opinion mostly due to the sound signature and the noise cancelling.Pros:~ Noise Cancelling - The noise cancelling is very impressive on these. I thought it was OK on the NC50 buds and it worked well enough for around the house (mostly cooking with the vent fan on) and for flights. The thing I did not like about the NC50's was that they made the noise cancelling by pumping in a lot of white noise to drown out sound and be the noise cancelling. This worked but it gave that pressure in your head feeling and was also very annoying if you had no music going. These are 100 times better in this aspect as they do more noise cancelling and cancel better than the NC50 while making just the slightest white noise sound. For me, the amount of white noise sound it makes is so minimal that most people probably wont even notice it. I only noticed the white noise in my silent bedroom., anywhere else that wasn't completely quite or with music playing I didn't notice any white noise feel or the pressure in my ears that the white noise gives off. The 3 levels of noise cancelling are also really nice, off for when you don't want any noise cancelling (I don't use these on this setting), medium which I would say is similar amount of noise cancelling to the on of the NC50 (I use this at work if I am not busy coding and I know people are going to come to my desk), and high which is very good at blocking noise (I use this in the office when I know I will not have anyone ask me any questions, commuting, and flying).~ Sound Profile - This will be very subjective based on the person, but I love the sound profile that these headphones have. They are very bass forward, but since I listen to a lot of electronic music I love how they sound. They have a really good thumping bass without cancelling out the mids and highs. If you are looking for a balanced headphone, these will not be it without doing a good amount of EQ work, and even then they might not satisfy. The mix of the sound profile with the headphones on high noise cancelling make a very enjoyable experience for me personally.~ Comfort - These are very comfortable headphones. I as a little worried at first as the ear pads are a little on the hard end, and you can feel the band through the headband padding. When I took them out of the box I thought they were going to be a pair of headphones that I would only be able to wear for an hour or so at a time and have very sore ears after. That is not the case as the headband is very comfortable and the ear pads are very comfortable when I get them to seat properly. For me it does take a little bit of work to get them to seat properly to be comfortable but I also have pretty damn big ears along with earrings. But once they are seated properly for my ears they can be worn for hours without me noticing them much at all.~ Fit - This goes along with comfort, but the fit of the headphones all around is very good. They have a good amount of clamping force in the band between the cups to make them fit snuggly on the head without squeezing too hard and giving me a headache. The cups also have a good amount of up and down adjustment to handle bigger and smaller heads, and the pivot to help get a better fit on the ears.~ Touch Controls - The touch controls actually work, and they are reliable also. They only do play/pause and like a mute bypass to allow outside noise in. They do a great job at these and I have not had a problem with them after double checking the menu to see that they are a double tap for play/pause. These are probably one of the best touch control methods that I have used and I have not had any issues with them.~ Pairing - Pairing these to my phone was a breeze. I turned them on and they went into pairing mode right away and paired to my Pixel 2XL without any issues on the first try. I also have not had any issues with them as far as staying connected or dropping out. I put this with pairing, but I also have not noticed a lag for the audio when watching videos which is something I keep an eye out for on wireless headphones since I use them around the kitchen to watch videos while I am cooking.~ Battery Life - I have not tried to run them for the 34 hours that they say they can last but when I took them out of the box they had about 80% charge and I listened to them for about 10 hours off the bat before charging them. I didn't look at what they were before the charge as I charged them knowing that I was going to be traveling and away from the house and wanted them to be full before I left and then continue to charge them whenever I had a chance to make sure they were as full as I could have them while I was moving around. That being said, over 10 hours on 80% charge is more than good enough for most of my standard use. I will have to wait for a long road trip or flight to really test the full battery life.~ Packaging - The packaging is very nice. The headphones come in a nice sturdy box with the charging cable, wired listening cable, manual, and a nice microfiber type bag. Not really packaging, but the headphones look very nice also.Cons:~ Touch Control Lag - There is a noticeable pause from when hitting play pause until the music plays or pauses. This is a little annoying and would be nice to have less of a lag between registering the input and doing the action. It is not a deal breaker or anything more than a minor annoyance but worth mentioning~ Folding - A place that hurts these headphones for travel is that they do not collapse down to a small form. You can get them flatter by turning the ear cups, but you cannot fold them into a smaller size. This would be great for traveling to get them a little smaller to throw into my backpack.~ Changing Noise Cancelling Strengths - It is too easy to hit the button to change the noise cancelling levels when you are taking off, putting on, or adjusting the headphones. It would be nice if there was a way to avoid these, maybe move the button to a different position or make it a slightly stiffer button. Additionally, when it does change the noise cancelling level, it takes too long for the voice to say "noise cancelling off", "noise cancelling medium", "noise cancelling high". Maybe if this was just changed to "off", "medium", "high" to make it quicker.Places for improvement (not cons, but would be nice for me):~ Over The Ear - These are comfortable and do a great job at noise cancelation as on ear headphones but I think they would be that much better as over ear headphones. They would be more comfortable and isolate better for even better noise cancelation.~ Height Adjustment - Having the height adjustment having some detents or click to them when adjusting. This isn't a huge deal but I am used to headphones that have detents and click into adjustment modes and I like the feel and sturdiness of that method over the friction based system on these headphones.~ Cup Adjustability - I touched on this in the Pros, but I think it would make the headphones that much more comfortable if the cups had some adjustment for pivoting up and down in addition to the rotation pivot they have~ Touch Controls - It would be nice to add in a skip to next track, maybe 3 taps or something else. The 2 taps for pause/play works really well so I am not sure if adding in more touch gestures would decrease the reliability of the play/pause.Overall, I think these are very good headphones for the price. They are not going to have the noise cancelling quality of Bose QC35 II, but they are also half the price. Same with the sound compared to something like the Sennheiser HD1, but once again they are much less expensive. I think for the price and the level of noise cancelation that these headphones have they are a very fair prices. Just a few frustrations with the touch controls and a few enhancements to make them even better and they would become my go to everyday headphones.

A friend recommended some Linner ANC bluetooth earbuds to me, and they quickly replaced my other sets as my preferred headphones. So when I was looking for some new on-ear headphones, I had to check out their offerings. I'm not disappointed.Sound quality is good, as I was expecting. Highs are crisp, mids are clear, and lows are pretty good (they could hit a little harder). Not quite as good as the earbuds, but better than lots of other headphones I've used. I've listened to songs I've liked for years on both sets of Linner headphones, and have actually heard a few new things (extra notes of harmony, etc.) I had never noticed before. That's pretty impressive.Noise cancellation works well. They do a pretty good job of passive noise cancellation even when they're not turned on (the first time she wore them, my wife thought they were turned on even though they weren't), but it's obviously much better once you do turn them on. I didn't find a huge difference between medium and high ANC settings, but both were plenty effective. Without music playing, they did a good job of reducing noise. With music playing, I had no idea there was another song playing fairly loudly 3 feet away. My only annoyance here is that when you switch ANC modes, it does interrupt your music for a couple seconds to announce which level (medium, high, or off) you're at.The extra features are pretty good. This is the first set of bluetooth headphones I've had that lets you use a 3.5mm cable if you want - it even works (without ANC) if the battery is dead. This is also great for older devices that don't support bluetooth. The right ear cup is touch-sensitive - double-tap to play/pause, or hold your hand on it to use monitor mode (this drop your music volume by about 80% and enhances external sound, so you can hear people talking to you, etc.). Both of these work well. External sound in monitor mode is a bit thin and tinny, but you can clearly hear anything that's being said, and that's really the point.

I used it in a 10hs flight, sound and ANC are excellent. Best I had. However after 3 hs they became unconfortble because of the tighteness against my ears. I needed to removed it, and put it back later on. One less star because of that.I will wait for a sale by Linner for the NC90 and buy one with larger ear padsThis is kind of premature review, but so far in terms of sound and ANC the headset is excellent. I tried the ANC in an office with manufacturing line noises (A/C, etc.) it performed better than the Bluedio T6S and the Cowin SE7. I will take it in a week to my trip and see how it holds on a flight.The look is very good, and so far being on ear, I did not feel the pressure that others reviewers wrote about it, will see when in the plane sitting for 8 hours.The look is great and the combination of cloth an leather combine very nicelyThe BT is 4.1, so I am not sure how much charge will drawn or if the connectivity could be a problem. Normally my phone of table is closed by, so only concern will be the charge.I will update the review after the trip

I have had a good experience with the Linner ANC in-ear headset, so I decided to give this on-ear version a try. I am writing this review as I am sitting in a plane overseas (WiFi in Delta flights is a great thing :) ).The headphones work great, I especially like the mode where ANC is "reversed" and voice frequencies are enhanced. No need to take off the headphones when talking to the flight attendant (OK, did this once to test, but took them off afterwards - I think it's quite impolite to keep the headphones on).Build quality is nice, and the headset sits comfortably on my ears, also after 2 hours of wearing it. Would recommend these headphones.
