Verdict

The Haylou S35 ANC is a budget-friendly over-ear headphone featuring 40mm dynamic drivers with Hi-Res Audio certification in wired mode and hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC) that reduces ambient sound by up to 42dB. These headphones utilize Bluetooth 5.2 for stable wireless connectivity, supporting AAC and SBC codecs alongside multipoint pairing for two devices simultaneously. Main advantages include an exceptional 60-hour battery life (40 hours with ANC enabled), comfortable memory foam ear cups, and a dedicated low-latency gaming mode. However, notable drawbacks include limited functionality in wired mode, where the microphone and ANC are disabled, and the lack of a fully customizable equalizer within the companion app.
