Noise-cancelling headphones have become essential accessories for people living in large urban centers or working in noisy environments. Thanks to their active function, all external noise is filtered out, allowing the user to concentrate on the music or podcast they are listening to.
To help those looking for a good model with this feature, Olhar Digital selected five TWS headphones that cost less than R$300 and incorporate this technology.
Philips TAT2500BK/00
The Philips TAT2500BK/00 is presented as a basic but good quality option. It offers good surrounding noise blocking, and the fit of the ear tips helps prevent external sounds from entering. This model has Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity, ensuring stability and no audio interruptions while moving. The sound is optimized to highlight voices, making it ideal for podcasts and calls.
The battery life reaches up to 24 hours, considering the earbuds and the charging case. Furthermore, it has an IPX4 certification for protection against sweat and water splashes, and features touch controls on the stems.
A slightly more advanced, yet still affordable, model is the Anker Soundcore P30i. This earbud features adaptive noise cancellation, adjusting the muffling level according to the ambient sound. Its 10mm speakers focus on bass, and the equalization can be customized through a smartphone app. With Bluetooth 5.4, it supports simultaneous connection to multiple devices, such as a laptop and a cell phone.
The Soundcore P30i has an IPX5 water resistance and microphones that eliminate background noise during calls. The battery can last up to 45 hours with the charging case, which also serves as a cell phone stand.
Huawei FreeBuds SE 4 ANC
The Huawei FreeBuds SE 4 ANC allows the user to manually select the degree of noise cancellation, facilitating the transition between a more intense or softer muffling, avoiding the feeling of pressure in the ears. The design is light and comfortable for prolonged use, maintaining a balanced sound suitable for various music genres without exaggerating specific frequencies.
This model has IP54 protection against dust and splashes, Bluetooth 5.4, and microphones designed to reduce wind noise during conversations. The battery life reaches 50 hours when used with the charging case.
In Samsung's entry-level category, the Galaxy Buds Core offer good noise cancellation to neutralize common city and office sounds. The acoustic isolation is complemented by rubber tips. They are compatible with devices from various brands, although they have exclusive features for Samsung ecosystem users, such as easy switching of connection between a Galaxy smartphone and a laptop of the same brand.
Each side of the model has three microphones dedicated to separating voice from urban noise during calls. The battery of these earbuds lasts up to 35 hours, including the power of the earbuds and the charging case.
JBL Wave Beam 2
The JBL Wave Beam 2 headphones have effective noise cancellation and the ability to control the desired amount of ambient sound, which is particularly useful when walking on the street, allowing you to hear surrounding traffic. They feature a stem design with controls operated by taps on the sides. The 8mm drivers enhance the bass, and the model has water and dust resistance with IP54 and IPX2 ratings.
The battery promises up to 40 hours of playback combining earbuds and case. JBL reports that with only ten minutes of charging, the earbuds can provide up to three hours of playback.
