Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Monoprice BT 300ANC

  • Exceptional value for the price
  • Highly rated for comfort and thick earpads
  • Effective noise cancellation for low-frequency sounds like airplane engines
  • Compact, foldable design with an included hard carrying case
  • Clear microphone quality for phone calls
  • Reliable and easy Bluetooth connectivity
  • Supports wired mode with an included 3.5mm cable

What customers don't like about Monoprice BT 300ANC

  • ANC performance can be inconsistent (some users report a faint hiss)
  • Battery life with ANC on is relatively short compared to newer models (approx. 8-12 hours)
  • Sound profile can be slightly 'hazy' or 'congested' in the midrange
  • Bass can feel a bit prominent or 'boomy' for audiophiles
  • Maximum volume levels may not be high enough for some users
  • Earpads can feel hot or sticky after long periods of use
  • Older Bluetooth 4.0/5.0 versions lack some modern low-latency codecs

Verdict

The Monoprice BT-300ANC is a budget-friendly over-ear headphone featuring 40mm neodymium drivers that deliver a 20Hz–20kHz frequency response and a sensitivity of 105dB. It utilizes Bluetooth 5.0 with support for the Qualcomm aptX audio codec and includes active noise cancellation (ANC) designed to reduce ambient sounds like engines and wind. The device offers a foldable, portable design with plush earpads and provides up to 19 hours of playback (12 hours with ANC enabled) on a 3-hour charge via its USB-C port. Main pros include its highly affordable price point, comfortable fit for long sessions, and effective noise reduction for the cost. However, some users have noted cons such as a somewhat hazy or congested sound profile in the mid-range and battery life that may fall slightly short of advertised durations under heavy use.
