LINDY BNX-60 Wireless Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) Headphones, aptX - comfort, lightweight – built-in mic for hands-free calls – Matt Black

I'm so impressed with these headphones for the price. I'd never have given anything Lindy branded a chance, had I not seen the 5 star review of these from What Hi-Fi. However, I'm so glad I did, as I nearly spent £300 on a pair of Bose QC35's, when really I just needed to block out office chatter at work. Saying they're "good for the price" is actually doing them a total disservice, as I think I would still consider these very good at twice the price. I very nearly got suckered into a pair of AKG's at £160 until I read a detailed negative buyer review from somebody who'd clearly spent some time with them. I'm very glad I got this Lindy pair instead at half the price. I've been wearing these during the day at work for 3 days now and haven't felt the need to take them off for any reason. The ANC blocks out constant background noise such as the whirring of fans in nearby computers. The sound isolation is good enough to reduce office chatter and general noises to a level where it is unnoticeable when music is played at a low volume. Music can be appreciated at a very low volume as the sound quality is so good. Pros: Price, comfort, sound quality, battery life. Cons: If I were to be super-critical, I'd say: 1. The rotary volume control feels a little cheap. 2. The USB socket is angled towards the front when worn the correct way round (left ear / right ear), so the USB lead dangles in front of your face if you try to use them while on charge (I got around this by wearing them the wrong way round while on charge). 3. There's no audible warning when the battery is about to run out. I've just been listening to dance music, then suddenly they cut out and everyone in the office was listening to dance music being played via my computer's tinny internal speaker until I realised what had happened. I'll put them on charge towards the end of the day when I put them down in future. None of these cons are enough to dissuade me from what are an excellent pair of headphones. The best pair I've ever owned and an unexpectedly excellent purchase.

Having bought Lindy cabling for years and having been given a £50 voucher to put towards something I decided to look at wireless headphones and these popped up. First up I love how there's loads of accessories included so you don't have to fart around trying to find where to buy x, y, z. Very thankful of that. Second up these work really nicely considering how 'cheap' they are. Once paired any other time you switch them on they'll pair in a second or two where some bluetooth devices I've used sit for ages and eventually don't connect (Hi Sennheiser!). I'll admit my previous experiences with wireless stuff has been the reason I've tried to avoid it, these have kinda changed my mind a bit. The option of using them in the various modes is great so if you choose to plug them into something you can just use them as normal headphones. You can use them wired with noise cancelling and the battery lasts ages. Using them in full wireless, noise cancelling mode the battery still lasts a good length of time, I bought them to use on a flight and the battery life full wireless and noise cancelling covers that easily. Sound in non-cancelling mode is a little muted, like you're listening through a woolly hat but you don't buy them to use as normal headphones, that's just another nice little feature. Once the noise cancelling switch is flipped on they actually sound pretty decent again considering the price of them, top end is good, they have a nice amount of low end and it isn't blown out like some headphones. I mostly use them wandering around the house, making dinner, cleaning etc so I don't have to put the stereo on. For the money these are a pretty great buy, I'm not sure I can fault them on anything other than the sound when the noise cancelling is turned off but that means you just turn it on and fix your 'problem' instantly.

Bereits nach zwei Wochen gibt der Kopfhörer Störgeräusche von sich wenn Noise Cancelling eingeschaltet ist! Eine absolute Frechheit, so einen Schrott für 60€ zu verkaufen!

Only one side plays and keeps turning off. The label from the previous customer wasn't even taken off properly and the headphones were delivered without a box and carelessly left out on the middle of the street for two days.

En fait ce genre de produit n'existe hélas quasiment plus à cause de la mode du "tout smartphone". Je cherchais un casque filaire antibruit pour brancher sur mon PC portable afin de regarder des films sur mon PC lors de mes longs voyages en TGV. Or, à cause de cette fichue nouvelle mode, il n'existe plus que des casques sans fil à prix prohibitif, ou des casques PC de gamer mais qui n'ont pas l'anti-bruit puisqu'en général on joue de chez soi dans un environnement peu bruyant qui ne nécessite pas cela. Ce Lindy est donc une exception plus que bienvenue. A côté il commence à y avoir un nouveau marché de casques pour de l'audio-conférence, popularisée par le télé-travail devenu plus régulier post-Covid, mais il y a encore très peu de modèles et ils sont hors de prix. Ce casque fait parfaitement son job pour le prix. Deux bémols, - il est un peu petit par rapport à mes oreilles et ma tête et donc serre un peu. - avec le câble vendu avec il grésillait, mais cela a disparu en utilisant le câble de meilleure qualité que j'avais sur mon ancien casque qui tombe en miettes. La qualité sonore n'est sans doute pas du Hi-fi, mais très satisfaisante pour mon besoin : regarder des films. L'anti-bruit est efficace et gomme très bien le bruit du fond du TGV. Pendant un film, il faut même tendre l'oreille (ou soulever une oreillette) pour entendre les annonces sonores. Étant filaire, il a aussi l'avantage de fonctionner même si les piles/batteries sont déchargées, mais alors en mode passif sans anti-bruit. La qualité sonore est alors moins bonne. J'apprécie aussi les réglages simples : on/off sur le casque pour l'anti-bruit, et chose rare une molette sur le casque pour régler le volume sonore est très appréciable. Il est aussi plus compact que mon ancien casque et donc se range plus facilement dans la valise. Très satisfait donc du rapport qualité/prix. Je pouvais mettre davantage pour une meilleure marque/qualité, mais hélas comme expliqué, il n'y a pas de choix, les "grandes marques" ne proposant plus du tout ce type de produit.

Je viens tout juste de le recevoir mais déjà de gros reproches : Ce casque est plus un supra-auriculaire qu'un circum-auriculaire, c'est à dire que les écouteurs sont petit et vont donc écraser l'oreille plutôt que l'accueillir, gros pour un supra-auriculaire il reste insuffisant pour un circum-auriculaire. Je trouve donc l'appellation mensongère. La réduction de bruit elle est faible, il y as bien une différence entre activé et éteint, mais ne justifie pas vraiment le prix.

La qualité de l'ANR est vraiment bonne (pas jusqu'à celle d'un bose néanmoins...) mais le problème repose surtout sur la durabilité...au bout de 2 mois, l'ANR souffre....et on sent que l'électronique ne suit pas...peut etre un pb isolé mais on a préféré se le faire rembourser, merci AMazon !
