- What are the best over the ear headphone deals
with active noise cancellation for Prime Day.
From Beats to Bose to a big surprise, it's coming right up.
(light electronic music)
What are the best active noise cancellation
over the ear headphones.
Well, I have an answer for you.
I'm the YouTube Deal Guy, Matt Granite
and I want to show you just the number
of headphones I've tested in the last several weeks alone.
One, these are smaller, these earbuds, two, three,
four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine,
there's a 10, 11 and 12
and if you expand the video description box right under me,
I will get you the biggest deal you can score
on active noise over the ear headphones
that surpassed Beats by Dre, that are just as good as Bose
at a fraction of the price and this is tied
to a Prime Day advanced offering.
So in advance of Prime Day 2019, there are some great deals.
I'm gonna show you why the craftsmanship
is a little bit different on the pair of headphones
that I found and more importantly, if you are looking
to block out the world around you.
I'm also gonna explain why active noise cancellation
makes a world of difference.
Although the Decibel H78 headphones
which is the diamond line, sound identical to Bose
and give you unbelievable performance.
I was tryna find something where it wasn't another $300 pair
of headphones that I could compare it to
and I think the best comparison would be
to the V206 iDeaPlay headphones.
Now, I love iDeaPlay headphones, they're really good.
I think the Decibel ones have an edge in terms of design
and that's why I've put these two side-by-side.
I could put it beside Beats by Dre,
but I think Beats by Dre headphones are completely overrated
and you're paying for a brand name rather than substance.
So that's why I've put these two side-by-side.
So all right, let's take a look first
at the design components.
On the iDeaPlay headphones, the craftsmanship is beautiful.
I was tryna find a pair of headphones between these two
where there was something better about one of them,
but the design of both really sturdy, nice breathable,
almost memory foam-like ear cushions on both.
I would say that if you actually feel them side by side,
there's a different level of breathability
on the Decibel electronic headphones.
These are plush yet breathable so just,
if you do get a hot head like I do a lot of the time,
these were a little bit more comfortable.
Let's take a look at the shape.
These are round and these are pretty much oval
and I don't know about you guys, but if you look
at the way your ears are shaped, chances are
an oval pair headphones will actually fit you better.
I found that less sound leaked out, less audio leaked in.
This was a preferred design for me.
So for me that was why the Decibel had the edge.
Another difference and it's slight,
just personal preference, 'cause again, you'd be doing fine
with either pair of headphones.
The audio controls are on the exterior headphone.
Why is that important?
Well for me, when I'm reaching to the right
or really anything, I don't wanna have to figure out
which is volume up, which is volume down,
the power button, right it's, you're going like this
on the back of your ear which is a little bit more
of an awkward gesture.
If you are wearing these headphones, your thumb,
your fingers just seem to remember up,
at the top of the headphones is increasing your volume
and the volume button down is underneath the power.
I think it's a unique design, I like that.
I would favor this over that, but otherwise,
they're both fully adjustable, they both feel great,
they both have very high performance.
Keep it in mind, on active noise cancellation headphones
like these, you're not gonna get 29 hours of battery life
because active noise cancellation is actually using
a processor and the Bluetooth 4.0
in here is battery draining.
So you're gonna get a full day's battery life
on either pair of headphones.
These fully charge in about two hours,
these fully charge in about two and a half hours.
So maybe the charge time had a little bit of an advantage
on the Decibel electronics headphones,
but I will tell you design wise, they are both beautiful
and they both feel good.
These are a little better in my opinion
and to put the Decibel headphones on.
Again, even without the active noise cancellation working,
I can't hear anything.
You'll see these cover my ear perfectly,
it's the shape, right?
When I put these headphones on, the iDeaPlay ones.
I'm gonna just adjust this so this fits me perfectly.
You'll see that I don't know if you can see,
but my ear lobes are pushing
up against the rounded circumference of the headphones.
That is a deterrent for me when I'm shopping for headphones.
Now I realize we don't all have the same ear
and thank goodness for your sake, nose sizes,
but I prefer these over this.
I'll also tell you when I have them on,
they just, they feel comfortable, they feel different.
It's very difficult to explain,
but another thing I like is I can stream
from at least 35 feet away
using the Bluetooth 4.0 functionality
on this pair headphones.
You'll notice a lot of headphones on the market
especially when they're on sale,
they have a Bluetooth 2.0.
You get a bit of a range difference,
you get some interference sometimes,
especially if you're streaming
from smartphones or tablets, these win.
If you wanna score the best over the year pair headphones
that you will find which actually may cost
a few dollars more on Prime Day because yes,
this deal will get marked up by just a tiny bit
as we inch closer to that big occasion,
you can score that deal right now.
I love headphones, I love music.
I love ensuring that when there is a baby crying behind me
on an airplane, she's not my baby, she's very well behaved
on flights now, I should tell you by the way
or there's a jet engine or things that I wanna block out
or if you commute a lot, if you find yourself on a bus
or a subway, there's something really nice
about having a pair of active noise cancellation headphones
rather than just some big thing you put over years
and you hope for the best.
So that's why the savings are substantial today
and of course it is a very big deal for me to have you here.
A reminder is that we countdown to Prime Day,
