What we like about Audio-Technica ATH ANC700bt

  • Excellent battery life offering up to 25 hours with both Bluetooth and ANC active
  • Lightweight and comfortable design suitable for extended listening sessions
  • Punchy bass and crisp, detailed high frequencies
  • Good value for money compared to premium competitors
  • Convenient foldable design that makes them highly portable for travel

What we don't like about Audio-Technica ATH ANC700bt

  • Finicky and unintuitive touch/gesture control scheme on the earcup
  • Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is decent but falls short of class-leading competitors
  • Plastic build construction can feel somewhat cheap or unpremium
  • Noticeable drop in audio punch and life when ANC is switched on
  • Microphone quality is poor and subpar for phone calls

Verdict

The Audio-Technica ATH-ANC700BT is a pair of wireless over-ear headphones featuring proprietary QuietPoint active noise-cancelling technology driven by a four-microphone multi-feedback system. They are equipped with 40mm drivers that deliver a high-resolution frequency response of 5 to 40,000 Hz when used in wired mode, supporting Qualcomm aptX, AAC, and SBC codecs via Bluetooth 4.1. Main pros include a robust battery life of up to 25 hours with both ANC and Bluetooth active (extending to 45 hours for ANC only), a lightweight 250g foldable design for travel, and intuitive touch and swipe earcup controls. However, notable cons include an aging Micro-USB charging port with a long 5-hour charge time, a microphone that can sound muffled during calls, and touch controls that some users find overly sensitive or prone to accidental inputs.
