The TREBLAB Z7 Pro are mid-end hybrid active noise cancelling (ANC) headphones. Unlike the TREBLAB Z2 Wireless, which are this brand's only other over-ears, their ANC activates when it detects noise, and the headphones automatically pause your audio when you take them off of your ears. These over-ears also support aptX and aptX HD codecs, which help lower latency and improve audio quality, as well as multi-device pairing with up to two devices at a time.
Our Verdict
The TREBLAB Z7 Pro are mediocre for neutral sound. They have a very excited sound profile that delivers intense thump, rumble, and boom while vocals and lead instruments are bright. However, their sound is still very muddy and piercing. They also lack sound customization features, so you can't adjust their sound to your liking. On the upside, they have consistent audio delivery, so long as you take the time to adjust their fit and positioning on your head when you use them. They also support aptX and aptX HD codecs, which help lower latency and improve audio quality when streaming over Bluetooth.
- Comfortable, well-built design.
- aptX and aptX HD support.
- No EQ.
- Poor passive soundstage performance.
The TREBLAB Z7 Pro are good for commute and travel. These comfortable headphones have an ANC system that can block out the low rumble of bus and plane engines fairly well, although it does an even better job of cutting down passenger chit-chat. They also have over 37 hours of continuous battery life, and you can use the headphones wired if you run out of battery life. Although they have a bulky design, they come with a carrying case to help protect them when you're on the go.
- ANC offers great overall noise isolation performance.
- Comfortable, well-built design.
- No EQ.
The TREBLAB Z7 Pro are decent for sports and fitness. Unlike most over-ears on the market, these headphones have an IPX4 rating, meaning they can resist water splashes.

The TREBLAB Z7 Pro are satisfactory for office use. These over-ears have a comfortable, well-built fit. Thanks to their ANC system, they can block out ambient chatter and the high-pitched hum of your computer fan. They also support multi-device pairing, so you can stay connected to your PC and smartphone at the same time and have over 37 hours of continuous playback time. However, if you need to take calls from the office or attend online meetings, their mic has a poor overall performance, so your voice sounds thin and muffled. Your voice can also be drowned out by moderate ambient noise.

However, dialogue and instruments sound muddy and piercing. These headphones also lack an EQ to help you adjust their sound to your liking.

Changelog
- Updated Jul 14, 2022: After user feedback regarding the audio quality recording not matching the test score, we've retested the mic's Recording Quality and Noise Handling performance. The original review results used aptX HD codec, which resulted in inconsistencies in the mic's frequency response. However, we could slightly improve our results by using the SBC codec, and the mic's frequency response doesn't sound muffled.
- Updated Jun 01, 2022: Review published.
- Updated May 26, 2022: Early access published.
- Updated May 16, 2022: Our testers have started testing this product.

The TREBLAB Z7 Pro are hybrid noise cancelling headphones. Their noise isolation performance is on par with other similarly-priced mid-end over-ears like the Anker Soundcore Life Q35 Wireless, and they even do a better job of blocking out background sound than this manufacturer's other over-ears, the TREBLAB Z2 Wireless. They're also unique in that they have an IPX4 rating for resistance against water splashes, which is very uncommon for over-ear headphones. They don't have any sound customization features, so you can't adjust their very excited sound to better suit your tastes.
