ISSUE 88 • ANDROID ADVISOR 95The Wyze Headphone app with noise-reduction settings.response. The Wyze
headphones sound
very good without
cancellation enabled,
and merely good with it
on. That’s the nature of
the cancellation beast,
but I will say I hear ever
so slightly less difference
in sonics between the
two modes with my Sony
WH-XB900H headset.
Sans said noise
cancellation, the bass
was spot-on, round and
punchy without sounding
like a subwoofer. Unless
of course, you’rea
subwoofer fiend.(Is that still a thing?)
Separation?They’reheadphones.It’s

The sounddoesn’tneedmuchtweaking
anyway, sonobiggie.
Run time was very good, but I didn’t
quite make the 20 hours Wyze claims. I
saw around 16, but then I left them (off-
ear) playing at a relatively high volume.
Overall, I’d have no problem using
these headphones as my daily drivers
if I wasn’t currently stuck on, yes the
Marshall Major IV’s. But those don’t do
noise cancellation, so I’ll take the Wyze
on the plane, and they’re also in my
listen-to-recording-mixdowns brigade.Verdict
As I’ve said several times now, the Wyze
headphones are super comfortable and
do a stellar job of shutting off the sound
