Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Monoprice BT 600ANC

  • Excellent active noise cancellation (ANC) that punches well above its price point
  • Highly affordable for the feature set offered
  • Extremely comfortable for long listening sessions with plush padding
  • Impressive battery life of up to 40 hours (25-30 hours with ANC active)
  • Supports multiple high-quality codecs including aptX HD and AAC
  • Includes a high-quality hardshell travel case and accessories
  • Features Bluetooth multipoint for connecting to two devices simultaneously

What customers don't like about Monoprice BT 600ANC

  • No companion app for EQ adjustment or firmware updates
  • Touch controls can be finicky or non-responsive at times
  • Build quality uses mostly plastic, leading to concerns about long-term durability and hinges
  • ANC cannot be used when the headphones are used in wired mode
  • Sound signature is heavily sculpted (bassy/bright) and lacks a transparent midrange
  • Microphone quality is average and can struggle in noisy environments
  • No on-head sensor for automatic play/pause when removed

Verdict

The Monoprice BT-600ANC is a budget-friendly over-ear headset featuring 40mm neodymium drivers and advanced Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation capable of reducing ambient noise by up to 35dB. It offers robust connectivity with Bluetooth 5.0 and support for high-quality codecs including Qualcomm aptX HD, AAC, and SBC, alongside multipoint pairing for two devices. Its standout characteristics include an impressive battery life of up to 40 hours (25 hours with ANC enabled), comfortable protein leather earpads, and a highly portable foldable design. Main pros are its exceptional noise-cancelling performance for the price, premium codec support, and long-lasting playback. However, notable cons include a lack of a companion app for EQ adjustments, finicky touch controls that can be prone to accidental activation, and a plastic-heavy build that some users find less durable over time.
