Third-party reviews

What customers like about Tribit Quietplus

  • Exceptional value for the price, often compared to high-end alternatives like Bose
  • Impressive battery life, with some models offering up to 30 or even 110 hours of playtime
  • Comfortable fit for long sessions thanks to soft memory foam ear cushions
  • Reliable Bluetooth 5.0/6.0 connectivity with support for multi-point pairing
  • Clear call quality using CVC 8.0 noise reduction technology
  • Compact and foldable design, often including a protective hard-shell carrying case
  • Modern USB-C charging port for convenience

What customers don't like about Tribit Quietplus

  • Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is decent for low frequencies but lacks the power of premium brands
  • ANC can introduce a slight audible hiss or static in very quiet environments
  • Sound signature can shift significantly when ANC is toggled on or off
  • Comfort issues for users with glasses or long hair, which can sometimes get caught in the hinges
  • Lack of advanced touch controls; relies on physical buttons which can be less intuitive
  • Companion app for newer models like the 81 is reported to be clunky or muddled
  • Build quality features a lot of plastic, which some users find less durable over time

Verdict

The Tribit QuietPlus is an over-ear wireless headphone featuring hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC) and 40mm dynamic drivers that deliver a bass-heavy, warm sound profile. It utilizes Bluetooth 5.0 with support for high-quality aptX and AAC codecs and offers a versatile dual-mode design that allows for a 3.5mm wired connection when the battery is depleted. Its main pros include an impressive 30-hour battery life, fast USB-C charging (10 minutes for 3 hours of playback), a comfortable foldable design with memory protein cushions, and stable multi-device pairing. However, notable cons include an ANC performance that is less effective against high-frequency sounds, a slightly tight clamping force that may cause discomfort for glasses wearers over time, and some reported audio degradation or feedback when used via Bluetooth on PCs.
