Third-party reviews

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

What customers like about Tribit Quietplus 72

  • Excellent value for money in the budget ANC category
  • Strong battery life, providing up to 30 hours without ANC and 15–20 hours with it
  • Comfortable fit with soft memory-protein ear pads and adjustable headband
  • Well-balanced sound signature with punchy bass, especially when ANC is active
  • Foldable design and includes a durable hard-shell carrying case
  • Supports stable Bluetooth 5.0 and dual-device multipoint pairing
  • Equipped with a clear CVC 8.0 noise-canceling microphone for calls

What customers don't like about Tribit Quietplus 72

  • ANC performance is basic; it struggles with high-frequency sounds and human voices
  • Audible background hiss or white noise when ANC is turned on in quiet environments
  • ANC is controlled by a separate physical switch that can drain battery if left on while the headphones are powered off
  • Large physical size may not fit well on smaller heads
  • Sound signature changes significantly (becomes flatter) when ANC is turned off
  • No companion app for firmware updates, EQ adjustments, or button customization
  • Can be uncomfortable for those wearing glasses or with long hair that might catch in the hinges

Verdict

The Tribit QuietPlus 72 is an affordable pair of over-ear wireless headphones featuring 40mm dynamic drivers, Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, and Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) that reduces ambient sound by up to 32dB. Main characteristics include a lightweight 255g foldable design with memory-protein earpads, USB-C charging, and support for dual-device multipoint pairing. Its primary pros are a solid 30-hour battery life (approximately 15 hours with ANC enabled), balanced Hi-Fi audio with punchy bass, and a clear CVC 8.0 noise-cancelling microphone for calls. However, notable cons include a bulky fit for smaller heads, a lengthy 3-hour full charge time without fast-charging support, and a significant shift in sound signature when ANC is activated.
