Chances are you’ve never heard of the budget brand Tribit, but for a daily commute on public transport their Quiet Plus might be well worth a look.
Of course, you can step onto a crowded train wearing an expensive, more high-end pair of headphones. But there’s always the risk of forgetting them somewhere, losing them, or having them yanked off your head by an opportunist. In that case, a more affordable daily companion actually makes a lot of sense. And that’s exactly where the Tribit Quiet Plus comes in.
What immediately stands out about these ANC headphones with 40 mm drivers is the exceptionally long battery life: up to 110 hours without ANC and 70 hours with ANC enabled. The next thing you notice is the very low price. According to the manufacturer, AI algorithms are used for the active noise cancelling. There’s also a transparency mode, allowing you to let some ambient sound through if desired. Thanks to five built-in microphones, hands-free calling is no problem at all. An accompanying app is included as well, featuring an equalizer with six presets and a hearing-protection option.
The Bluetooth 6 Tribit Quiet Plus comes in at just €71.30. And that’s a lot easier to swallow in the event of loss or theft than hundreds of euros—or more.
