Libratone TRACK+ Wireless In-Ear Headphones with Smart Noise Cancelling (Bluetooth 4.1 aptX, ANC, 8 Hours Rechargeable Battery, Sweat and Splash proof IPX4) - Cloudy White

I've had these for a few days now and I'm mightly impressed by them.On opening the Amazon box, you're presented with a nice, sleek package that feels good quality, reflecting the overall price. Inside, there's a number of different ear buds so that you can adjust the headphones to fit snuggly into your ears - vital for good noise cancelling capability. Also included are a pair of 'wing tips' that help hold the earphones even more solidly in place. I found that the earphones by themselves sat pretty soundly in my ear, putting on the easy to add and remove wingtips mad them so secure I don't my 3 year old son could've dislodged them.I was a bit worried about these being sitting on your neck and thought they might annoy me or have a noticable weight difference. On the contrary, it was actually quite nice to have less bulk in my ear and once you're wearing them, you don't notice the middle part sitting on your neck. It gives you a degree of security that if an earphone was to fall out (which it hasn't) it's not going to go bouncing down the street. Also, the fact that it's not just a flimsy piece of wire holding them together means that they never get tangled up which is great.Sounds quality is very good, again what you would expect to get from a pair of good quality headphones. Nice, clear sounds with good deep bass and crisp treble notes. The app allows you to adjust the headphones to be bass or treble biased. I found the bass heavy setting perfect for my tastes.The active noise cancelling is surprisingly good for an in-ear headset. Having read some of the reviews, I think that must've been trying something else! On the app, you have the ability to set it to one of 3 noise cancelling settings. I tried my earphones in the garage when I was sitting on my noisy bike trainer with a large fan going in the background. The ANC reduced this to whisper in the background so pretty effective. I also tried it out when vaccuuming the house! Flicking between the different levels of noise cancellation really helps to highlight the difference that it makes. I haven't yet tried the automatic ANC which adjusts the level based on your movement levels (presumably to stop you walking out in the road without hearing a car coming!) but that sounds like a good feature. They're never going to be as effective as a top of the range over-ear set of headphones, but for in-ear ones, they do the job really well.The other added bonus of the battery being mounted on the joining nexk part is the battery life that you get. When the headphones arrived, they had about 10% charge in them. It took not long over an hour to get to a full charge and I then went on my bike trainer using them at about 70% volume with full noise cancelling on for about 2 hours. Surprisingly this only used just under 20% of the battery sound so it aligns with the stated 10 hour battery life - I had assumed this would be less on full ANC.Finally, the controls are good to use. Shaped and raised so you know if you're pressing the volume up/down button or the main action button that allows you to move between track AND enable your phone's voice control. I've also taken calls on the phone and this works as well as you would expect it to. As I wear these for exercising (bike trainer and running), the external controls and the fact that they are sweatproof is also a pretty big deal for me. Having ruined a few pairs of Apple ear buds with sweat dripping down the wires to the controls, this was a big factor in my decision to buy these over other makes.Overall, reallly please with my purchased. Lightweight and great quality. A really good, clear range of sounds and really effectvie noise cancellation. Definite recommendation to buy

I lost my Bose in ear noise cancelling earphones I have had for over 2 years and didn't want to pay out another £250 to replace them. The Libratone looked very stylish with a well thought out design, and the sound was quite good. For me, THE NOISE CANCELLING WAS NON-EXISTENT COMPARED TO THE BOSE. With the Bose, if I was out walking the sound of passing cars was like a really quiet swish you might expect in a Science Fiction movie. With these Libratone Track+ ones I could practically hear the car as normal. You can download an app for fuller control of features of the Libratone, but there are a lot of complaints about Location information having to be shared which many reviewers do not like but Libratone say they have not choice about. I tried this but it did improve things at all.If you want wireless earphones with a well-thought out control system which are comfortable to wear and which have a good sound, these are fine. If noise-cancelling is important for you, I think you will be disappointed.I have given battery life 5 stars to be fair, but I only used them for about 2 hours before I returned them.I have given in, and my new Bose are on the way - with the Samsung/Android version being MUCH more expensive than the i-phone version - why?

Earphones are probably the best I've had the pleasure of wearing. The noise cancelling is awesome, it negates the majority of the noise on the tube where portions of the Network get up to over 100 decibels.Battery life is pretty decent at around 5 hours with NC running.You also notice the quality of sound, especially with an APTx enabled device.However the biggest flaw in the product, is the reliability. I had my first pair replaced under warranty, whereby both sides volume decreased massively. I had a new pair sent out after a week of sending mine to Libratone. However in around a month, the replacement pair will also be sent back because of the left side cutting out completely.
