Verdict
The Soul SL300 is a stylish, clear-sounding noise-cancelling headphone with rich bass, but it leaks sound, making it a poor choice for trains and planes.

The Soul SL300 is bulky, with weak noise canceling and a big gap in the mids and treble, so buyers should look to established audio brands.

Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Soul Electronics SL300gg

  • Excellent sound quality with deep, controlled bass suitable for hip-hop and R&B
  • Highly comfortable over-ear design with soft cushions and padded headband
  • Effective active noise cancellation (ANC) that works even without batteries
  • Stylish design featuring an illuminated LED logo and quality stitching
  • Includes a high-quality protective hard shell carrying case and accessories
  • Detachable, tangle-resistant cables with inline controls

What customers don't like about Soul Electronics SL300gg

  • High level of sound leakage, making them less ideal for quiet public spaces
  • Build quality feels somewhat 'plasticky' and potentially fragile over time
  • Boosted bass and equalization may lack the clarity and balance required by audiophiles
  • Active noise cancellation can sometimes be too effective, drowning out necessary ambient sounds like voices
  • Considered expensive by some compared to newer or alternative models
  • Illuminated LED logo can be seen as flashy or attention-grabbing

Verdict

The Soul Electronics SL300GG is a pair of high-definition, over-ear wired headphones featuring world-class active noise cancellation (ANC) and high-precision dynamic drivers that cover a frequency range of 20Hz to 20,000Hz. Weighing 252g, these headphones are designed with full ear cup articulation for comfort and include a tangle-free detachable cable with an in-line remote for Apple device compatibility. Major pros include their ability to play music even without battery power, a foldable design for portability, a protective hard-shell road case, and a signature illuminated LED logo on the earcups. Notable cons include a somewhat plasticky build quality that raises durability concerns and a heavy bass-forward sound signature that may lack the neutral clarity required by audiophiles.
