The overall quality feels good. There is some play to all joints, but IMO not bothersome. The biggest downside is the pads. They are faux leather and thin. Similar to CB-1 but these feels softer, though that might just be an age thing on the CB-1s (which by the way, the leather has lost some of its surface on). The point is, they will wear out eventually. Here is the catch, they are GLUED in place. Sorry, no easy replacements on these, even on parts that wear out. Wyze is known for its inexpensive smart-home accessories, and it’s brought that same level of ingenuity to a pair of noise-cancelling headphones.
Lets start with fit, as this baffles me the most. I'm an above average length male, but as head size is not necessarily representative, my head circumference is about 57-58 cm. This seems to put me in upper medium/large when it comes to hat sizes. The bass is so accurate but not too deep. The mids are outstanding and well-balanced. The treble is not outstanding but decent enough. It’s crisp and detailed and the level of highs and lows is well-balanced. Sometimes I think of sitting in a great concert hall. Noise Cancellation As I have already said, the Status Flagship ANC are intuitive touch control headphones, I can summarize the touch control system as
I've noticed that the lowest volume of the headphones don't match the lowest volume of my phone. If that makes any sense. My Raycons could be at the lowest setting and I would still hear music or a video playing. These headphones don't do that for me. I tend to take naps with headphones on and these headphones infere with that. The lowest setting is still too loud in my opinion. The headphone is in mostly plastic. The headband is supported by a thin sheet of metal on the outside in the sliding mechanism. Most surfaces has a rubbery finish. It is easy to leave fingerprints on it, otherwise it looks fine. There is a bit of small shiny plastic on the piece clamping the ends of the faux leather the headband. The right one of these are marked SAANC-FS in a muted gray. Otherwise there are no visible markings, so they are discrete and classy in that way. The faux leather is soft and feels nice against the skin.

If you are fine with the compromises of Bluetooth audio, wanting something for your commute and think they have a nice set of features at an attractive price point, then they may be for you. aptX HD could potentially improve their usability, but I have no way of testing that Even though it's literally in the product name the ANC is something they should not be proud of on these headphones. To comparison I have used the Bose QC 25 and the difference is enormous. But still the price difference is something to take in consideration (150 for the Bose).
Would I recommend these headphones to someone? Yes, I would. I wear headphones almost all the time, so when these headphones die, I switch to my earbuds while they charge. These headphones use four microphones and a custom-developed processor to detect and eliminate unwanted sounds. They don’t offer any control over their level of noise-cancellation, but Wyze does allow you to tweak their EQ using the company’s free mobile app. Unsurprisingly, these headphones stand out because of their excellent smart features. Holy smokes, they're incredible. Hitting that ANC button is wild. They're extremely comfortable with nice soft ear pads. And the sound quality is outstanding. I am seriously floored at the detail as well as the bass response.
Customer reviews
Once reserved for expensive, premium headphones, a number of audio brands are now offering Active Noise Cancelling technology (ANC) in their entry-level units as well. What you get: cleaner, more direct sound without the interference of outside noise. The best way to listen to them is powered on and connected to AUX, without ANC. Sorry to say, the features you pay for only degrade audio and you need to keep them powered, even if you are physically connected to your source. Compared to the CB-1s, these sound more muffled across the entire spectrum (distortion?), bass is worst. Unfortunately a definite downgrade to its cheaper sibling. You are paying for features here, not price. But things different are the level of noise cancellation, battery life, microphones, Bluetooth range, and frequency response. Noise cancelling: Aside from ANC, this headset does a good job muffling out sounds from the outside with just the padding. I also have never had an issue with bleeding sound. I tested it with my brother on full volume, and as long as the headphones were on my head, there wasn't a peep.
These are my first Bluetooth headphones, so I didn't know what to expect. Now I know, Bluetooth compression is clearly audible and further degrades SQ. These support aptX HD, which should supposedly alleviate this pain point somewhat, alas I have no source with the necessary hardware to test this. In my private opinion, the Status Flagship ANC doesn’t have any issues while wearing them with glasses. The clamping force is not too much and not feel pain around the temples area. But this might not be for some people. That depends on the shape and size of your head. So, if you are those who always wear glasses and have a quite big head size, over-ear headphones maybe not be your answer. There are two buttons on the left headphone. One for turning it on/on (pairing)/off, one for changing listening mode. For reference, my best headphones for music are Status Audio CB-1. These are EQed to the Harman 2018 target with variables provided by AutoEQ using EqualizerAPO with PEACE. So although they are not the fancies headphones on the planet, they do provide a good frequency response for comparison. Not going to go too deep here as I'm not good with all the descriptive words usually used, but a few things are to be noted. How you feed and listen to the these has a noticeable difference on the sound quality.Next part we are talking about the control button and touch control, which is intuitive. Let’s go to the next part. Status Flagship ANC Headphones Review – How to control?
