In one's spare time, when alone, putting on headphones to listen to one's favorite music or watching one's favorite movies is surely a leisure lifestyle that every modern adult desires. So, here comes the key point, how should one choose headphones? In terms of comfort and sound quality, I believe that over-ear headphones are the best choice, after all, their sound performance alone is unmatched by in-ear headphones. So, the second question arises, how should one choose over-ear Bluetooth headphones?

With the advancement of technology, domestic Bluetooth headphones are becoming increasingly excellent, basically leaving no room for foreign headphone brands to compete. Therefore, when we buy Bluetooth headphones now, there is no need to spend a lot of money on expensive foreign brand headphones. In fact, many foreign brand headphones are actually made in China, they just have a foreign brand name. Domestic brand headphones also have excellent sound performance, high-end appearance, and are also cheaper in price, offering great value for money.

Recently, I purchased a pair of BarbetSound H6 over-ear Bluetooth headphones. BarbetSound, established in 2016, is an emerging Bluetooth headphone brand with 10 years of production experience. They focus on providing high-quality, cost-effective headphones and speakers.

This BarbetSound H6 model can now be purchased for only 169 yuan. For a price of just a little over a hundred yuan, it boasts 45dB active noise cancellation, the latest Bluetooth 5.4, and even Hi-Res high-quality gold standard certification, plus an ultra-long battery life of up to 180 hours. With such a high cost-performance ratio, let's not waste words and start unboxing to experience it together.

Upon unboxing, you can see that the appearance of the headphones is quite simple and stylish. I chose the beige model, and there is also a black model available. The beige model is more neutral, suitable for both women and men. The headphones have multiple adjustment methods to better match our head shape, ensuring a more comfortable fit.The crucial part of the ear cups is covered with skin-friendly bionic protein leather, and inside is zero-pressure memory foam. The overall ear cups feel soft and are lightweight and breathable.

Breathability is extremely important, especially in the summer. If it's not breathable, it will become very stuffy and uncomfortable to wear after a while. If it's uncomfortable to wear, the sound quality doesn't matter. Therefore, comfort is the primary consideration when buying headphones.

As a Bluetooth headphone in the hundred-dollar range, its configuration is by no means casual. It is equipped with a 40mm PET diaphragm dynamic driver unit, which can provide better frequency balance. It allows for dynamic and powerful bass, delicate and natural mids, and clear and transparent treble. Just this feature alone is enough to outperform most headphones.

Another impressive feature is its -45dB active noise cancellation, which uses a dual-feeding hybrid active noise cancellation system. The depth of noise reduction can reach up to 45dB. With such strong noise cancellation, whether on an airplane, in the subway, or on a noisy street, it can eliminate more than 95% of the noise. By switching on the ANC active noise cancellation button, it creates a quiet listening environment, allowing you to enjoy music more without having to turn up the volume too high and potentially damaging your hearing. The actual noise reduction experience is quite noticeable; once turned on, it feels like you've changed your surroundings.

Additionally, the headphones use the latest Bluetooth 5.4 connection solution, which further enhances the connection performance of the headphones. The connection speed is faster, and the anti-interference capability is stronger. Moreover, the latency is lower, and in gaming mode, the headphone latency is only 38ms, so you won't have the embarrassment of audio and video being out of sync when playing games.Moreover, it also supports lossless audio transmission, namely LDAC high-definition audio decoding, with a maximum bitrate of up to 990kbps, thereby delivering lossless audio transmission capabilities of up to 24bit/96kHz. Of course, this requires the phone to support it. At the same time, it is also backward compatible with high-definition encodings such as AAC and SBC.

It can be seen that the BarbetSound H6 headphones are almost top-of-the-line in configuration, and their powerful performance has naturally led them to pass the gold standard certification for high-definition audio: that is, they possess the Hi-ResWireless gold logo, meeting the international standards for high-quality audio. I can't imagine that a pair of headphones costing only a hundred yuan can focus on high-definition audio and active noise cancellation; indeed, technology brings progress.

In terms of actual listening performance, the BarbetSound H6 headphones are quite comfortable to wear, with no sense of burden on the head, and even in summer, there is no stuffiness. The comfort of wearing is good, so how does the sound effect sound?

The sound is indeed rich and full, with a noticeable low-frequency elasticity and enough depth, which is a blessing for those who enjoy strong bass beats. The performance in the mid and high frequencies is also very good, with rounded vocals and clear details. Overall, because the human ear is less sensitive to low frequencies, the low-frequency quantity of the BarbetSound H6 still meets the balance of our listening experience across the three frequency ranges, which is quite rare.

At the same time, the BarbetSound H6 is also equipped with 4-microphone ENC call noise reduction, which can eliminate noise during calls, allowing me to have a clear conversation with friends on a noisy road, just as if we were talking on the phone in person.As a Bluetooth headset, its battery life is also something we highly value. The BarbetSound H6 boasts an impressive 180 hours of battery life when noise cancellation is turned off, eliminating the anxiety of needing to recharge constantly. Additionally, it supports super fast charging, allowing for 15 hours of music playback with just a 10-minute charge. This feature significantly reduces our battery life concerns to a certain extent.

Overall, the BarbetSound H6 Bluetooth over-ear headphones not only look aesthetically pleasing with a stylish and minimalist design but also come with high-end configurations and sound quality that is pleasing to the ear. After all, the wireless gold standard certification is not just for show. It represents genuine strength.

If you also enjoy listening to music, watching series, or playing games, this headset is well worth trying out.
