Able Planet NC200 True Fidelity (Black) review

Flying the friendly skies has sure gotten a lot more enjoyable with the advent of portable media players, but frequent fliers realize it takes more than a decent MP3 player to deal with nuisance-ridden travel. A good pair of sound-isolating earbuds or...

The Able Planet NC200 Clear Harmony headphones are inexpensive compared with most competition, and they are comfortable. The cable seems durable and includes inline volume controls. The package contains a quarter-inch adapter.

The construction of the Able Planet NC200 Clear Harmony headphones feels cheap. The travel pouch does not provide any protection for the headphones. The headphones cannot really be used without noise canceling activated, and when it is activated, the...

Frequent-fliers on a budget might want to consider the Able Planet NC200 Clear Harmony headphones for their comfort, but serious connoisseurs of noise-canceling headphones will be unimpressed by the lackluster sound and questionable build quality.

Able Planet True Fidelity NC300B Headphones

We don't consider ourselves dyed-in-the-wool audiophiles, but we do tend to look askance at audio hardware that adds to, subtracts from, or otherwise monkeys with what a recording artist intended for us to hear. We've made the occasional...

Strong bass response; switchable ANR; nice case

Poor high-frequency response; bulky, leaky, and uncomfortable to wear long term

If you’re looking for a personal listening solution that eliminate background noise, we’ve found in-ear monitors that physically occlude sound—versus masking it with noise of their own—to be a far superior solution. And while you can turn off the...

Ableplanet True Fidelity Headphones

Ableplanet's True Fidelity noise canceling headphones have one major flaw and that is they do not actually cancel any outside noise, not one bit however their Linx audio technology does and requires one 3xA battery that is included to power on the...

I found a big issue with sound leakage, these will leak a lot of sound just like a speaker so using the True Fidelity in public or quiet places can be an issue. However they are very light and comfortable and the headband is nice and fluffy. The True...

AblePlanet True Fidelity with Linx Audio Review

Having done some traveling during December, you start to get used to the accompanying rumble associated with it, be it from passengers waiting for a plane or the sound of an engine a few feet from your ear. The best way to completely drown the world...

Able Planet True Fidelity NC200

A scientific, in-depth analysis with side-by-side comparisons

The Able Planet True Fidelity NC200s aren’t great headphones. Fortunately—and this is rare for headphones, which is why we’re calling it out—the lack of audio quality is actually justified by their low price. They’re entry-level sets. Too often we...
