Third-party reviews

What customers like about Artiste Audio AWN100

  • Lightweight design at approximately 170g, making it comfortable for long-term wear
  • Effective Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) that reduces ambient noise by up to 15dB
  • Long battery life with up to 35 hours of usage on a single charge
  • Includes a detachable cable with an in-line remote for added convenience
  • Comes with a travel bag and aircraft adapter, ideal for frequent travelers
  • Features neodymium magnets for clear high notes and better bass performance

What customers don't like about Artiste Audio AWN100

  • Does not support folding, which may make it bulkier for some storage situations
  • Lacks a tangle-free cable design
  • ANC performance is modest compared to high-end flagship competitors
  • Wired connectivity only (not a Bluetooth wireless model)
  • Comfort ratings in some comparative reviews were lower than sound and build quality scores

Verdict

The Artiste Audio AWN100 is a lightweight, over-ear wired headphone designed for travel and aviation, featuring active noise cancellation (ANC) that reduces ambient noise by up to 15dB. It is equipped with 40mm neodymium drivers, a frequency response of 20Hz–20KHz, 32Ω impedance, and a high sensitivity of 102dB/mW (or up to 123dB depending on input). Main pros include its extremely portable 170g design, memory-foam leatherette ear cushions for a comfortable acoustic seal, and a detachable 1.2m flat cable with an in-line remote and noise-canceling microphone. However, its primary cons are the lack of wireless Bluetooth connectivity and its reliance on a single AAA battery to power the ANC for its 35-hour runtime.
