Verdict

The Wicked Audio Hum 800 is a pair of wired, over-ear headphones featuring active noise cancellation (ANC) capable of reducing ambient sound by up to 97.5%. Equipped with 40mm neodymium drivers, it offers a frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz, a sensitivity of 103dB, and an impedance that shifts from 35 Ohms with ANC off to 100 Ohms when active. Key pros include a collapsible, fold-flat design for portability, a 20-hour rechargeable battery life for the ANC feature, and enhanced bass performance delivered through a tangle-free flat cord with integrated mic and track controls. However, a notable con is that the device lacks modern USB-C charging, instead relying on an older micro-USB connection, and it is strictly a wired model despite having a battery for its noise-cancelling circuitry.
