Srhythm NiceComfort 35 Hybrid Noise Cancelling Headphones,Wireless Review

Buy these for the elite noise cancellation on a budget. Just don't expect them to be all-day comfortable, and take the '140-hour' battery claim with a huge grain of salt.

The Srhythm NiceComfort 35 (2nd Gen) is a classic case of a headphone that's brilliant at a few specific things and just okay at the rest. The one thing you need to know? Its noise cancellation is shockingly good for the price, sitting in the top 2% of all the headphones in our database. If you need to block out the world on a budget, this is a serious contender. Everything else, from the sound to the app features, is built around that core strength, but you'll have to make some compromises on comfort and battery life to get it.

Let's talk about that ANC. We were genuinely surprised by how effective it is. It's not just 'good for the money,' it's legitimately one of the best on the market, full stop. The hybrid system does a fantastic job of drowning out constant low-end rumbles like plane engines or office HVAC. The sound quality is also a strong point, landing in the 90th percentile. The spatial audio is a fun gimmick for movies, and the custom EQ in the app lets you tune out any harshness if the default profile isn't your jam. The real letdown? The battery life scores in the bottom 15%. For a headphone boasting '140H playtime,' real-world performance seems to be a weak spot according to our data.

Here's the wild part: prices we see range from a sane $54 to a laughable $11,999 (someone's listing is broken). At around the $50-$80 mark, which is where it realistically sells, the value is fantastic purely for the ANC and sound quality. You're getting features that compete with $200+ cans. Just go for the Amazon listing, not the one priced like a used car.

Stacked against the competition, it gets interesting. The Anker Soundcore Life Q30 is its direct rival and often cheaper. The Srhythm has better ANC and mic quality, but the Q30 typically wins on comfort and battery. If you can stretch your budget, the Sennheiser Accentum Plus is the next step up, offering more refined sound and much better build quality, though its ANC isn't quite as brute-force strong. The Sony ULT Wear and Bose QuietComfort are in a different league price-wise, but for pure noise-blocking power per dollar, the Srhythm holds its own.

If you need headphones for long commutes or all-day work calls, these aren't it. The mediocre comfort and disappointing battery life will frustrate you. Go get the Anker Soundcore Life Q30 instead for better endurance, or if you have the budget, the Sennheiser Accentum Plus for a more premium all-rounder.

We're giving a cautious recommendation. If your top priorities are blocking noise and hearing clear audio without spending a fortune, buy the Srhythm NiceComfort 35. You'll be genuinely impressed. But if you wear headphones for 8-hour workdays or need all-day battery, the comfort and endurance issues are real. For those people, saving a bit more for the Sennheiser Accentum Plus or opting for the more balanced Anker Q30 is the smarter play.
