What customers like about Wicked Audio Hum 800

  • Excellent value for the price, often found under $50
  • Effective Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) for blocking background hums and bass-heavy noise
  • Very comfortable over-ear fit with plush cushioning on earcups and headband
  • Impressive battery life for the price point, offering up to 20 hours of use
  • Portable design that folds flat for easier storage during travel
  • Strong bass performance that adds depth to music
  • Tangle-free flat cord design reduces frustration when used in wired mode

What customers don't like about Wicked Audio Hum 800

  • Product labeling can be misleading; some users found it was wired rather than fully wireless Bluetooth
  • Auxiliary cord is non-detachable, which may lead to durability concerns over time
  • Initial unboxing experience can be difficult due to tight packaging
  • Lacks an included carrying case or bag despite being marketed as a travel-friendly product
  • Build quality feels somewhat flimsy or 'plastic-heavy' compared to premium brands
  • Bass can occasionally be overpowering, potentially drowning out mid-range frequencies

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.
