What should you look for in noise-cancelling earbuds under $200?
These are the points that decide whether a pair of noise-cancelling earbuds at this budget works for you day to day.
- Fit before noise cancelling. Active noise cancelling works on top of the seal the ear tip makes. A pair that ships with several tip sizes, and with foam tips as well as silicone, gives you a better chance of a good seal.
- A transparency mode. On a street or in an office you need to hear some of your surroundings without taking an earbud out.
- Two battery numbers. Earbuds are rated twice: hours on the earbuds alone, and total hours with the charging case.
- Codecs your phone can use. A codec only helps if your phone supports it too, so check your phone's Bluetooth codecs before paying for aptX Adaptive or aptX HD.
- A water rating. If you train in them, look for an IPX rating, not just "sweat resistant".
- An app with an EQ. An equaliser lets you fix a tuning you do not like instead of living with it.
How does the Heavys H1E handle noise cancelling?
The Heavys H1E combines passive noise isolation from the ear-tip fit with active noise cancellation. Heavys calls the active noise cancelling HellBlocker. A long tap on the left earbud turns HellBlocker on or off, and two short taps on the left earbud turn on transparency mode, which lets you hear some of your surroundings. Heavys notes that noise cancellation and transparency mode are not functional during calls.
The H1E box includes memory foam ear tips as well as silicone tips in multiple sizes. Heavys says the memory foam tips add comfort and sound isolation.
