The Wyze Noise-Cancelling Headphones Wireless are budget-friendly over-ears with an active noise cancelling (ANC) feature. For the price, they offer a lot of features to improve your listening experience, including a graphic EQ and presets for sound customization and multi-device pairing. You can even get them with a case to make them easier to transport. However, their ANC feature isn't adjustable like with other similarly-priced headphones, like the Anker Soundcore Life Q30 Wireless.
Our Verdict
The Wyze Noise-Cancelling Headphones are decent for neutral sound. While they have a V-shaped sound profile right out of the box, their companion app offers a graphic EQ and presets to help tweak their sound to your liking. As long as you take time to adjust their fit and positioning, you'll also experience consistent audio delivery. However, their soundstage is perceived as closed off and as if coming from inside your head.
- Comfortable and well-built.
- Over 22 hours of continuous playback time.
- Poor passive soundstage.
The Wyze Noise-Cancelling Headphones are good for commuting and travel. They're comfortable and feel well-built. They have over 22 hours of continuous playback time and support multi-device pairing, which is handy if you want to listen to audio from your phone and then on your laptop. Although their ANC does an okay job of cutting down bass-range noise like bus or plane engines, it does a better job of blocking out commuter chatter. That said, they have a bulky design, making them hard to take with you on the go.
- Comfortable and well-built.
- Over 22 hours of continuous playback time.
- Not very breathable.
The Wyze Noise-Cancelling Headphones are satisfactory for sports and fitness. They're comfortable and well-built. However, they trap in heat, which could cause you to sweat more, and they can fall off your head while moving. They also don't have an IP rating for water resistance, though that's to be expected from over-ear headphones. On the upside, their wireless design ensures that there's little that can snag them off your head.

- Bulky and can fall off your head while you're moving.
The Wyze Noise-Cancelling Headphones are satisfactory for office use. They're comfortable enough for long days at the office, don't leak too much audio at high volumes, and their ANC can cut down ambient chatter around you. They also have over 22 hours of battery life, so you don't need to pause to recharge them throughout your shift. Unfortunately, their leatherette padding traps heat, so you could sweat more while wearing them.
- ANC blocks out ambient chatter.
- Comfortable and well-built.
- Over 22 hours of continuous playback time.
- Poor recording quality.
- Poor passive soundstage.
- Not very breathable.
The Wyze Noise-Cancelling Headphones can only connect wirelessly via Bluetooth and aren't compatible with PS4, PS5, Xbox One, or Xbox Series X consoles. They're compatible with Bluetooth-enabled PCs or mobile devices, but their latency is likely too high for competitive gaming.
The Wyze Noise-Cancelling Headphones are satisfactory for wired gaming. They're compatible with Xbox and PS consoles as well as PCs when using their 1/8" TRS cable. However, they can only receive audio, and you won't be able to use their mic. Still, they have a comfortable fit, customizable sound profile, and good build quality.
- Comfortable and well-built.
- Over 22 hours of continuous playback time.
- Poor passive soundstage.
- Not very breathable.
The Wyze Noise-Cancelling Headphones are poor for phone calls. They have an integrated mic, but its recording quality makes your voice sound thin, unnatural, and distorted. It also struggles to separate your voice from background noise, and if you have an important call, it's best to do so from a quieter environment. Although they struggle to block out bus and plane engines, their ANC can help reduce ambient chatter around you if you're taking calls from the office.
- Comfortable and well-built.
- Over 22 hours of continuous playback time.
- Poor recording quality.
- Sub-par noise handling.
