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 78

  • Excellent value for the price point
  • Impressive active noise cancellation (ANC) with high and low modes
  • Long battery life, typically ranging from 30 to 40 hours
  • Rich sound quality with deep, punchy bass and clear mids
  • Comfortable fit with soft memory foam ear pads and adjustable headband
  • Includes a high-quality hard shell carrying case
  • Reliable Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity with minimal lag
  • Transparent 'Ambient Mode' effectively allows environmental awareness

What customers don't like about Tribit Quietplus 78

  • Uses Micro-USB for charging instead of the more modern USB-C
  • Physical buttons on the ear cup are placed too close together, leading to accidental presses
  • Durability concerns, with reports of the headband or hinges breaking after several months of use
  • Microphone performance struggles to isolate voices in noisy environments
  • May feel tight or cause ear heat during long listening sessions, especially for those with glasses
  • Slight background static hiss sometimes noticeable when ANC is active

Verdict

The Tribit QuietPlus 78 is an over-ear wireless headset featuring hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC) that reduces ambient noise by up to 35dB, powered by 40mm large-aperture drivers and the BES2300 chip for a balanced sound with deep bass. Key characteristics include Bluetooth 5.0 with multipoint support for connecting two devices simultaneously, aptX HD and AAC codec support, and a robust battery life of up to 35 hours that offers 4 hours of playback from a 10-minute quick charge. Its main pros are the exceptional comfort provided by memory-protein ear cushions, a foldable design for travel, and the ability to switch between high/low ANC and transparency modes. Notable cons include the use of an older Micro-USB charging port on some units instead of USB-C and physical control buttons that are placed too closely together, making them difficult to distinguish by touch.
