Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Wicked Audio Hum 1000

  • Excellent sound quality for the price, featuring clear highs and deep, thumpy bass
  • Effective Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) that significantly reduces ambient noise
  • Comfortable fit for long sessions due to thick, 'Soft-Tech' padded ear cushions
  • Sturdy build quality with metal size adjusters despite the predominantly plastic frame
  • Versatile connectivity options including Bluetooth and a detachable 4ft gold-plated aux cord
  • Portable design that folds flat and includes a high-quality EVA travel case

What customers don't like about Wicked Audio Hum 1000

  • Short battery life when ANC is active, typically lasting only 7–8 hours
  • Uses older Micro-USB charging technology instead of modern USB-C
  • Mid-range frequencies can sound flat or underwhelming during certain instrumental tracks
  • Restricted to older Bluetooth 4.0 technology, though connectivity remains stable
  • The all-plastic exterior is prone to visible scratches and wear over time

Verdict

The Wicked Audio Hum 1000 is an over-ear wireless headphone featuring 40mm neodymium drivers with a sensitivity of 103 dB and a frequency response range of 20Hz to 20,000Hz. Key characteristics include active noise cancellation (ANC) capable of reducing ambient noise by up to 97.5%, Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity with a 32ft range, and a collapsible, fold-flat design for enhanced portability. Its main pros include deep, pronounced bass performance, high-fidelity sound, and a comfortable fit provided by Soft-Tech cushions, alongside an included EVA travel case and a 4ft detachable gold-plated aux cord for wired listening. On the downside, it has a relatively modest battery life of 13.5 hours (dropping to 8 hours with ANC enabled), uses an older micro-USB charging port with a 2-hour charge time, and lacks modern features like a noise-canceling microphone or sweat resistance.
