5.0 out of 5 stars great sound quality !

J.K. · 25 September 2024

I was a bit skeptical before purchasing these wireless headphones, but I’m very surprised by the quality of the product and the excellent sound. The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) works really well, blocking out background noise effectively, and the battery life is impressive. I can listen for hours without worrying about recharging. The build quality is solid, and the headphones are comfortable to wear, even during long listening sessions. I couldn't have spent my money better—it's definitely worth 100%! Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable, Good Sound, Great Price, Excellent ANC

The media could not be loaded. I've tried a lot of different headphones over the years, with a range of earbuds, wired and wireless over ears and open and closed back.These Zen Hybrid 2s from Creative are a great option and I've been thoroughly impressed with the quality, especially considering the price of £74.99 at the time of review.Pros:- The sound quality is very good for the price, a little bass heavy but most people won't notice this and really these are not targeted at hardcore audiophiles.- The ANC is great quality, I actually thought it was better than on my Bose QC45 which are more than twice the price. I tested this on the Central Line and it did a surprisingly good job!- The build quality seems very good, I was impressed by the ease of fold but it didn't feel flimsy.- The buttons are reasonably easy to use and I was able to control all the functions simply enough without the need to take my phone out of my pocket.- The bluetooth range was good, I tested to about 25m and the sound was still consistent.Cons:- The volume rocker was a little tricky to use, at first it only seemed to increase and it took some fiddling around to make it work both ways.- Some people may miss a carry case or bag.Overall when looked at in the range of affordable ANC enabled bluetooth headphones the Creative Zen Hybrid 2 are an extremely strong contender and well worth considering. The ANC is some of the best I've come across and the sound quality also matched up well considering the price point. With easy setup, strong connectivity, excellent battery life and good sound I would strongly recommend these headphones. At this price point I don't think you can beat these.

4.0 out of 5 stars Reasonable compromise for the price

Being big fan of Creative products (having over the years: earbuds wireless & wired, Bluetooth speakers, wired headphones, TV speaker) I had high hopes for these headphones. However, after over a week of trying to convince myself, had to reluctantly return them. Negative points:- Overpowered by bass, and hence sadly other frequencies become too muffled and more difficult to separate. Mind you that this is not just some small increase in magnitude at low frequencies, but a relatively huge one!- This issue can be alleviated to a reasonable extent by custom EQ, but there's no default one that would come with these.- ANC is pretty satisfactory, but after activation bass becomes way too overpowering, as if noise cancellation was somehow equal to introduction of boomy low frequencies. Very strange choice made by Creative engineers!- Without ANC on, bass is actually pretty OK, still too strong, but otherwise satisfactory.- Plastic case easily conducts scratching and bending noises.- Earcups are quite large and well built, but unfortunately too shallow, which makes them unfomfortable when wearing for longer.In summary, I got them for £50 and for such a price it is a fair enough deal. Would probably keep them as spare if not the overpowering bass response (btw I actually prefer sound of my Creative Outlier Pro earbuds to these).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Comfort, Amazing Sound!

With these headphones, you know why Creative have been in the audio business for so long.The headphones arrive with cheapish packaging, i.e. a corrugated cardboard box with a printed outer surface, and thin plastic insert to hold the headphones. That's not a bad thing. I prefer for the manufacture to spend more time and effort on the product rather than the packaging that's ultimately going to be discarded.Inside the box you get the headphones, a USB cable and a 3.5mm cable to plug it in directly if you don't want to connect via BlueTooth. There's also a manual which is a giant folded sheet with all the languages no it; not very convenient, but once you've read the bit you need you don't need to refer to it again so no big deal.The headphones themselves look the business. I've had quite a few, but to some degree they all looked like something cheap trying to be something premium. This set actually looks premium. The finish is very nice, the padding is soft, and the comfort in wearing them is on-point. The clamping force was fine, I didn't experience after wearing these for any extended period of time.Sound-wise, it's very good... nearly as good as my Sony XM3. The bass is strong and clear, maybe a very slight touch too heavy, but you'd have to be very picky to notice. The set does vibrate a little on strong bass notes, you can feel the drivers working.The rest of the sound all the way through the range is very good. Now, compared to sets that cost 4-5x as much, of course you can't expect it to have the same fidelity, but given these are only £70, the sound is very good - practically faultless - for that price-point.Of course with ANC turned on, the sound volume/fullness which noticeably improved. With the ANC set to ambient mode, ambient sounds could also be heard very clearly. This worked quite well.The headset has voice prompts to indicate its current state, i.e. turning on, waiting for connection, etc. The prompts are in a charming female voice with distinctive British accent, and very clear and informative.Note: there is no case for them, so you might want to consider how you'll store them.

3.0 out of 5 stars ANC not very effective, too bass-heavy, otherwise adequate.

For the price they are probably OK. I returned mine for a refund, and am currently looking for something better. Two main issues for me - firstly they are much too bass-heavy, and secondly I couldn't really tell much difference between ANC on or off.

Çok iyi

Kaliteli malzemeden üretilmiş gibi duruyor ayrıca şarjı iyi gidiyor ses kalitesi güzel

Bardzo wygodne za rozsądną cenę

w. · 25 October 2024

Bardzo wygodne muszle nauszników, bez problemu można używać w pracy po 8h (nie wiem jak będzie latem). Również w okularach bardzo wygodnie.Jakość dźwięku dla mnie spoko, nie ma się do czego przyczepić.Mikrofony ok, do teamsa w pracy super.Głośność - raczej przeciętna, jeśli komuś zależy aby było bardzo głośno to może się rozczarować.ANC - działa bardzo fajnie w większości przypadków, chociaż na dworze przy wietrze trochę nie ogarnia.Włączenie anc zmienia profil dźwięku na bardziej basowy.Konstrukcja wydaje się solidna.
