Verdict

The Beyerdynamic Lagoon ANC is a premium closed-back wireless headphone featuring 40mm dynamic drivers that deliver a wide frequency response of 10Hz to 30kHz and a low nominal impedance of 20 ohms. Its standout characteristics include hybrid active noise cancellation with two adjustable levels, high-quality Bluetooth 4.2 support (including aptX Low Latency, AAC, and SBC), and a unique 'Light Guide System' inside the ear cups to indicate status. Main pros consist of an impressive battery life—lasting up to 45 hours without ANC and 24.5 hours with it—exceptional sound clarity with MOSAYC personalization, and a comfortable, foldable design weighing 283g. However, it lacks a dedicated transparency/ambient mode, uses older Bluetooth firmware with limited multipoint stability, and features a touchpad that some users find finicky.

What customers like about Beyerdynamic Lagoon ANC?

  • Excellent sound quality characterized by a balanced, detailed, and analytical signature
  • Exceptional battery life, reaching up to 45 hours with ANC off and approximately 24.5 hours with ANC on
  • Support for high-quality Bluetooth codecs including aptX Low Latency, aptX, and AAC
  • Effective sound personalization via the MIY app's hearing test (MOSAYC), which tailors audio to the user's specific hearing profile
  • Compact and lightweight design with ear cups that swivel flat for easy portability in the included hard case
  • Impressive call quality and microphone performance even in busy environments
  • Support for digital audio via USB-C, utilizing the internal DAC for improved sound quality on PCs

What customers dislike about Beyerdynamic Lagoon ANC?

  • Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is effective but lags behind class leaders like Sony and Bose in suppressing high-frequency sounds
  • Touchpad controls on the right earcup can be finicky, less responsive, or prone to accidental triggers
  • Build quality relies heavily on plastic, which some users feel lacks the premium feel of its price tag or may be prone to cracking over time
  • Lack of 'Ambient' or 'Transparency' mode to hear surroundings without removing the headphones
  • Physical switches for power and ANC are reported as tiny and difficult to operate accurately
  • Limited to Bluetooth 4.2, which lacks multipoint connectivity for simultaneous device pairing
  • Proximity sensors for auto-pause can be overly sensitive, pausing music when the user simply looks down
  • Earcups may be too small or shallow for users with larger ears, leading to discomfort during long sessions
