Bluetooth headphones with noise cancelling

epm-84

I'm looking to get a pair of bluetooth headphones with noise cancelling. I'd like a pair which can also connect to a 3.5mm socket and ones that can be used to watch TV/films without a sound delay. However, I don't have the budget to buy some of top brands. Any advice?

I bought my wife some non-Bluetooth ones from 7dayshop for aeroplane use but noticed that they had some with Bluetooth for a reasonable price.

I’ve had a pair of 7dayshop noise cancelling headphones for a few years now and have been very impressed.

I've seen the 7 day shop ones but I've noticed they say noise cancelling is 87% effective when most other headphones have at least 90%. I'm not sure how much difference that makes.

Have you considered noise-isolating 'phones instead of noise-cancelling ones? Noise-isolation just means that the earbud physically blocks external noises (like earplugs).

I had some Shure E2 in-ear monitors and they were fantastic. I seriously doubt noise-cancelling headphones would be as effective. And without noise-cancelling circuitry you don't get any artefacts in the audio.

Sadly, they don't make them any more (and they weren't Bluetooth enabled), but there are probably Bluetooth noise-isolating 'phones out there.

Just a thought...

Depends how much you want to spend. You could go all out and get BOWERS & WILKINS P7's

Alternatively you can pick up some pretty tidy wired Sennheisers and just add a Griffin iTrip Clip to make them Bluetooth capable

Ideally I don't want to spend more than £60.

I doubt anybody makes bluetooth headphones with a 3.5mm jack.
Get a set of cans for your 3.5mm uses and concentrate on the bluetooth headphones.
I use these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-SBH80-Stereo-Bluetooth-Headset-Black/dp/B00DZTJKYU/ref=sr_1_20?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1511695543&sr=1-20&keywords=bluetooth+earphones+sony

Also have a pair of these

But prefer the buttons/design of the first. if its for in home use only then I would likely go with over ear designs.

Your budget is very ltd . I wouldn’t bother with Bluetooth tbh as it’s temperamental and would drop out when you need them most.
I have a pair of akgnoise cancelling headphones . I somehow lost the battery compartment . However , I bought an ak g lead from amazon and now the headphones are noise reduction instead of noise cancelling . Can’t really hear bawling babies on the bus .

I also bought as backup a pair of akg noise reducing phones from richer sounds. They are great and within your budget but not Bluetooth I’m afraid . I say go to richer sounds ASAP .. you may get Black Friday / cyber Monday deal

There's a whole load of Bluetooth headphones with 3.5mm jacks or that come with micro USB to 3.5mm leads on Amazon, including the 7 Day Shop ones mentioned earlier in the thread.

Take the money-saving budget option and get;

A 3.5mm extension lead
A standard pair of in-ear headphones
A pair of industrial ear defenders

Much cheaper, much more reliable, needs no batteries or external power.

Or get some noise-isolating earphones, and you won't need the industrial ear defenders.

When I buy earphones, I'm much more interested in sound quality and how well they cut out on background noise. Noise-cancelling circuitry and Bluetooth increase the cost and decrease the sound quality. But each to their own.
