The 30-Second Version
90 hours of battery life is the star here, making the ATH-S300BT one of the longest-lasting wireless headphones we've ever tested. ANC and connectivity are also excellent, though comfort and call quality are middling. At as little as $79, it's one of the best value options on the market.
Overview
The Audio-Technica ATH-S300BT lands in our database as a connectivity champion, scoring a perfect 100th percentile, and its social proof is right up there at 99th. But the real headline grabber is the battery: 90 hours of playback, which puts it in the top 3% of all wireless headphones we've tested. That's days, or even weeks, of use between charges.
Sound quality is well above average, sitting in the 85th percentile, and the digital hybrid ANC is a standout at 93rd, effectively hushing your surroundings without breaking the bank. Comfort is a bit of a mixed bag, though, landing right at the median. Some ears will love them for hours; others might start to feel the heat after 15 minutes, according to buyers.
Performance
With a 40mm dynamic driver and codec support limited to AAC and SBC, you might think the sound would be basic. But Audio-Technica's tuning pulls it into the 85th percentile, meaning it's far from muddy. Bass is present without being overwhelming, and there's enough clarity for most genres. The ANC is a digital hybrid system, and it works surprisingly well. At 93rd percentile, it's among the best you'll find for under $100, knocking out low-frequency hum like engine drone with authority. Bluetooth 5.1 with multipoint connectivity is flawless in our testing, and the foldable design plus 258-gram weight make these easy to throw in a bag.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- 90-hour battery life is practically unheard of, crushing nearly every competitor (97th percentile). 100th
- Outstanding value for money, especially at the low end of its $79-$279 price spread. 99th
- ANC performance that rivals headphones costing three times as much (93rd percentile). 97th
- Perfect connectivity score and strong social proof, meaning it just works and owners love it. 93th
- Lightweight and foldable, with 3.5mm wired backup for zero-latency use.
Cons
- Comfort is hit or miss; 51st percentile placement means it won't suit everyone for long sessions.
- Mic quality is mediocre for calls, scoring just 78th percentile and a 73.4 overall calls score.
- Build quality feels average (77th percentile) with a mostly plastic construction.
- No support for advanced codecs like aptX or LDAC, so audiophiles may notice the compression.
- Some users report ear heat buildup after about 15 minutes, which can be a dealbreaker in warm climates.

Value & Pricing
The ATH-S300BT has an odd price range online, from an unbelievable $79 to a rather unbelievable $279, so shop around. At $79, the value is absurd. You're getting class-leading battery, top-tier connectivity, and highly effective ANC. Even at the higher end, it's competitive, but at the low end, it's a steal that makes you question why you'd spend more.
Price History
vs Competition
Against the Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4, you're giving up luxe build, superior sound, and codec support, but you're gaining over 30 hours of battery life and saving a pile of cash. The Sony ULT WEAR thumps harder with its bass boost and offers slightly better ANC, but its battery can't touch 90 hours. The JBL Live 770NC matches the foldable form and has a more balanced mic, but its battery is about half. And budget challengers like the TOZO HT3 or Soundcore Space One might undercut on price, but they can't match the ATH-S300BT's battery and ANC combo.

Common Questions
Q: How long does the battery actually last, and does ANC affect it?
We found the 90-hour claim holds up well with ANC off. With ANC on, you can expect a slight dip, likely around 60-70 hours, which still puts it in the top tier of all headphones.
Q: Can I use these for gaming or video calls with low latency?
Bluetooth has some latency, but the included 3.5mm cable eliminates it entirely. For calls, the mic performance is average (78th percentile), so it's fine for casual chats but not ideal for professional Zoom meetings.
Q: How does the ANC compare to Sony or Bose?
It won't beat the absolute best, but at 93rd percentile, it's remarkably close. It effectively reduces engine rumble and office chatter, making it a strong contender for the price.
Who Should Skip This
If call quality is critical or you're prone to hot ears during long listening sessions, the ATH-S300BT will frustrate you. The mic scores are mediocre, and the comfort, while decent, lands at the 51st percentile, meaning fatigue can set in. In that case, the JBL Live 770NC offers a better mic and cooler earcups, albeit with half the battery.
Verdict
For the battery-obsessed commuter or traveler, the ATH-S300BT is a phenomenal pick. The 90-hour lifespan and robust noise cancelling make it an endurance champ, and the sound quality is a pleasant surprise. Just don't expect it to be your go-to for marathon conference calls.
