[@abby2667]

Which do u think is better this one or the sennheiser 400s?

[@orkunsanal]

That noise cancelling test is the best i've ever seen. Thanks

[@omarenm]

Then you need to check JimsReviewRoom here on YT. But he only reviews high end devices, I'm here for the budget ones, best reviews you can find between these two channels.

[@mysterOrel7924]

dude i'm here to say that your headphone review are the best and just because you take time to put a mic inside it and make us appreciate what the real sound quality and ANC look like !! other tech yetuber just tell us if they good for them or not

[@SubscribersWithoutAnyVid-sg9pt]

This review is amazing! I can't believe how professional it looks!!! Keep up the good work :)

[@JPH675]

I just started getting into wireless headphones, mainly for use at work. I purchased the MPOW M5 Pro Bluetooth Headset (Model BH231A) and they seem to work great so far. I bought them from Amazon on 10/30/2019 and they only cost me $24.99 (USD). I also purchased the ZEXMTE Bluetooth USB Adapter CSR 4.0 (USB Dongle Bluetooth Receiver) from Amazon for $6.99 (USD) due to not being able to connect wirelessly to my work PC without it. I think I may treat myself to the TaoTronics SoundSurge 46 after seeing these reviews. Thank you again for your reviews.

[@joshhardinnyc]

the separate power control for ANC is a FEATURE, not a bug it means you can use these for ANC without music or other sound, say for going to sleep in a room with a loud air conditioner

[@Gjacolby83]

I really would like a pair of Sony or Bose headphones and they may be my next pair. However, the SoundSurge 46’s have been excellent for me. Nice review.

[@sebastiandresilva]

What about ANC on the 46's? Is it good enough?

[@NathanRFMuir]

@@sebastiandresilva it's great!

[@alcheowl]

I love these headphones, I love that the ear muffs come off, the amount of headphones that have died in one ear that i couldnt even try to DIY fix due to the muff being glued on is awful. I personally like the bulky design, but thats just me. I know another commenter said that the ANC being separate power is a feature, but personally I find that I forget about it being on, and try to use it very situationally, such as when my friends are blasting music on their speakers and I just want to vibe to my shit. Lastly, I find that they've been the most durable headphones I've had. These boys have lasted me the better part of 3 years and counting, whereas my other headphones (usually JBL) only last a year max before they die, and I am a little rough with my headphones so this is a HUGE plus, not to mention the price point makes it affordable but still quality enough to run with my audiophile friends. Basically, in my opinion these are the perfect headphones for someone who likes a bit more bass, likes the bulky look, and needs something cheap and durable. These are overall my favorite pair, and I'd highly recommend to anyone who's on the fence about getting them

[@77brickman]

I love everything about these! Looks great and by the reviews, a winner. I plan to on a pair on Nov. 1!!!

[@hacks5093]

I didn't know Anthony does tech reviews

[@bakabbyy]

That was the best ANC test I've seen

[@stevejhkhfda]

your reviews are fantastic - thanks

[@gojostore.official]

Please also review the upgraded version, 'cause i am planning to buy one. Thanks

[@GOATinPIC]

yea, there are pretty much difference, usb type c charging, bluetooth 5.0 connection, and 10 bucks more expensive

[@thisistheslam]

It makes you wonder what these kinds of companies could do if they went for a $120 price point. BT5 would be there but perhaps a more consistent sound (keeps those highs) and a touch better ANC. Also, I wish more companies did what Beats has done at times - amplified headphones with batteries.

[@vincenthu2588]

Thank you man! This is a great one!

[@bomj-valera]

7:50 It was the weirdest melody in my life.. 😅

[@damarisgutda]

Great and in depth review. Gave all the information necessary for an informed and smart purchase. Many thanks!

[@orokinderelict2502]

What is the size for the earcups?

[@llw3377]

Yes, please!

[@IOS.mobile]

This should answered in every review. Many people like to replace ear cups with different styles and materials.

[@herbertvonsauerkrautunterh2513]

I'm listening to this on mixcder ANC neck band earphones.. they do the job.. makes driving my truck a bit better

[@Cravedirect]

I think I will buy this one to try. These headphones look really good and I hope that sound quality is also good. Personally, I use headphones like this only at home, and when I am on the go, I prefer in-ear earphones. Thanks for the information!

[@mrkwd]

No problem! I'm creating a video about the 5 best budget ANC headphones and even after testing like 10 different pairs, I STILL love these the most. The sound quality is just so damn good and the ANC is one of the best out there. I hope you like them as much as I do!

[@MrAhuraMazda]

The bulkyness is intentional. Closedback headphones dont have the luxuries openbacks do for creating soundstage. Earpad and driver housing thickness is really the only tool they have, so it's harder to have truly great closedback sound and also be slim. *also incredible sound demo. Not exactly sure how you recorded that, but great job

[@MrTickelmeemo]

For primarily ANC, would you recommend these or the Mixcder E9? Thanks!

[@mrkwd]

These are better!

[@MQMD24]

looking for budget headphones with anc your videos really helps

[@Al.j.Vasquez]

I ordered them for 112$ including shipping to Costa Rica through Amazon global, I'll get them during the first week of February, and i hope they do sound great, not just bassy, i have an LG G7, so i have the Quad DAC to help out when connected through cable.

[@GoodGuyKenny]

112? Mate you're getting scammed I only payed 55$

[@danny5431]

I would recommend the E9, because it has a great microphone quality and better noise cancellation. I don't mind not having the best bass, because you exchange it for the mic and noise cancellation

[@LingatsuDesignAndDev]

How are they in comparison to the mixcder e10?

[@foodisgoodthatsthetruth3231]

I like the bulky look :) Am looking at these on Amazon now.

[@jeremiahaquitania4799]

I have these headphones. The anc is a beast! But you can tell that it is a budget headphone due to audio. It does not do well in mids. Highs are okay but not good. Bass is powerful but not punchy. But overall these are worth it. Better check the mpow h12 it's nearly half the price and they said that the audio quality is good

[@rogueequinox1750]

I have the SoundSurge 46 and they are really awesome. Believe this or not, but I also have the Sennheiser PXC 550's and the Taotronics SOUND BETTER, especially bass. Unbelievable but true! ANC is also really good, especially low noises. Will recommend them any day. If you have a big head these may feel too tight as they really hug the head. The soft earcups are the best I have ever had, and I have owned more than 15 pairs of headphones.

[@King-Nova]

the 46 or 85?

[@mahmoudnamra1106]

Have you heard about the Dyplay urban traveller anc headphones? I want to know which is better, the soundsurge 46 or the Dyplay

[@emmyjr1231]

Great video man, How do they compare to the Soundcore anker life q30 or the Skullcandy wireless?

[@johnr.timmers2297]

Been searching all over for the best pair I can get without spending over $100 and I think I just found them

[@fhjaved]

Just wondering if you have tested a budget brand model EDIFIER W860NB and how does that compared with this SoundSurge 46 (TT-BH046). Actually I have short listed the following 3 with prices, so which one will you pick considering overall scores and especially sound quality: Here is my list: 1: Edifier W860NB = $120, 2: TT-BH046 = $98 and 3: Sennheiser HD450BT = $169 (currently on special, normal price is $219). Prices are in AUD Australian dollars.

[@Pwonie]

Hello ! Thanks, that's a very good review !! I would like to know: Does the pads touch your ears or not?

[@shanethrelfall416]

£29.99 on Amazon now! Ordered some for my son

[@StrayingwithHawk]

Recently bought it.. noise cancelling is good

[@conservativelyyours653]

Can you tell which, if any of these, would fit a ten year olds head better? He has asked for headphones for Christmas, and I’m pretty sure he isn’t going to be happy with a kiddie set:)) So,,,, I am hoping to find some not too heavy or huge for his head. He is a little small for his age, I think:)

[@hammerfall6666]

Get the Bluedio TM if you want a lighter headphone.

[@parthbhatia8098]

Amazing video, Very professional and good quality. I had a question about its sound leak which wasnt adressed

[@jianhau2893]

Hi, does soundsurge 60 has better ANC performance than soundsurge 46?

[@mrkwd]

The 46's SHOULD be better because they have hybrid ANC, and the 60's have regular ANC. But TaoTronics will hopefully be sending me the 60's to review soon so there will be a full video on the them in future. Cheers for watching!

[@jianhau2893]

@@mrkwd thanks for the reply and looking forward to your review.

[@flyingmobias]

How are they compared to 90?

[@monikahitri8204]

Very cool :D But are these also good for Gaming?

[@ezjames9416]

Is the 46 better than the 90?

[@dargis49]

These are great if you run them through an app that has a preamp. Other than that they are too quiet, or not loud enough, for anything other than music. Oh, and this blow away the 55's.

[@christiankrogsgaard2880]

Is it possible to connect tv sound to both tv and headphones at same time ? Thanks for a nice review! 👌👌

[@BowlMasterAsh]

Will these headphones do an alright job cancelling noise traveling through walls to another room? Someone listening music or watching TV in the room next to or below me? Seems to me like it's usually those lower frequencies that are making it through. I live with a lot of people and have a hard time focusing on my work, and negotiating time frames for noise making activities...

[@mirotejoshua4042]

bravestfuckingtoaster ikr same question

[@rexaloha7642]

Need more sound suppression in that room but overall nice review!

[@TryItCZ]

Can someone review the Treblab z2 headphones?? I don't know which one to buy.

[@joshuacarpenter9978]

Do any of the budget brands offer an ambient sound control setting?

[@mrkwd]

Not out of any that I've encountered so far but I'm still searching!

[@annirose0882]

I don't think that they are bunky they look cool and comfy

[@NeaguAndreiGeorge]

Bought this headphones and i can say, in reality, they are not that big. Smaller than Hesh2 from SkullCandy. And they are comfy as fuck.

[@Ted_homie]

Thanks 🙏

[@oniongreen13]

which bluetooth ANC headphones do you recommend for people that suffer from quick ear fatigue?

[@vuks-fj7fl]

These are really chunky and heavily padded so i guess these would be good

[@spongebobspongebob24]

Thank you!

[@alqanbar]

Is that latest version: TaoTronics Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones with 3 ANC Modes Bluetooth Headphones SoundSurge 55

[@TheEtrepreneur]

the minimum they should charge for this marvel should be around 150$, luckily for me, already put some 1500+ hours on mine at 80$!!. ROI, checked. Till the wheels fall off! P.S. there are some "high end" brands using the same chassis asking for 355$, haha (worth it, though)

[@rudebwoydread13]

In your opinion which ANC is better. The MPow h12 vs Edifier w860 vs Tribit Quiet Plus

[@mrkwd]

Haven't tried the Edifer personally, but the MPOW H12 is the strongest over the Quiet Plus.

[@REDIUS999]

It was sold on amazon at 30€ last week I bought one and yes the noise canceling is good but not as good as the Bose or Sony xm3 Sound is ok but superbe Still for 30€ I got a lot of stuff !

Thanks for the thoughtful great review ,I don't really by Sony MDR- 1A1as but have to save up months

[@MrPPtuga]

When I click sometimes on my smartphone when these, I hear like a really small bip. Somebody know how to fix?

does the sound change in any way when anc is turned on vs when its turned off?

Is 90 better than 46

[@screwdriver3]

Is there anybody here compared this soundsurge 46 to anker’s soundcore life q20? I had to return life q20 because of the white noise when nc is on and when you dont play anything. I wonder if it has the same problem..

Late reaction but every budget headphones has that

[@satyanarayanaprasad6276]

Bluetooth version ???

[@ValMephora]

Have you watched the Video? It's Bluetooth 4 But it's super fast with nearly no audio lag due to the decoders

[@thesage1096]

can someone that own these for a little while, say a year or 2 talk about the battery life ? i feel like many of these headphones will be prefect for most of us interms of sound quality and battery length for the beginning, but goes to shit in just a few months ..... ive had expereince with a KLIP headphone., can anyone confirm how good is the battery life in the mid to long term ?

[@thesage1096]

hey why isnt the amazon link not working ?

[@wowulam7411]

Dont buy it. I have a horrible experience with this headphone. I mean don't get me wrong it was good when I first bought it aside from the noise cancellation makes your ear ring or have that suffocating feeling. After a while though that's when you would see some problems with this speaker. like the earpads wouldn't hold anymore it would break on the outline of the earpads first and will slowly creeps until the earpads is not intact anymore, the battery does not hold the charged anymore and the sound would have a crackling sound. I can't issue refund anymore because the seller is not available anymore. I only had the headphones for a span of 7 months mind you.

[@thesage1096]

hey mate could you please send the link to them! TIA

[@tominomaza]

I do not know. I bougth these and must say I will send it back. ANC ok for the price, but sound is not clear, too much bass and missing clear highs. My standard default earbuds for old huawei p9 sounds better. I will try and compare with Sony WH-CH700N and Sennheiser HD 4.4. Has anybody compared these already ?

[@hammerfall6666]

How about mids? Is it good or bad? Does turning on ANC improved the sound?

[@tominomaza]

@@hammerfall6666 can not recommend. Sorry, I bought Sennheiser hd 4.4 without ANC but sound is a way better.

I went for the TT S46 instead of the Mixcder E10 after watching your review a few times due to cost different and also another review here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHezd4iLq7-phsU. I do like the good bass and compare to my Sony 1000MX2, it is not too far off with the price different. Keep up the work....And thanks for your great review. Look forward to more review...
