Bose × KidSuper

Bose × KidSuper QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) (Moonstone Blue and Midnight Violet)

Separate Bose × KidSuper product family QCUH2-HEADPHONEARN-KID. Its two U.S. variants have distinct hand-painted designs and exact manufacturer images: Moonstone Blue (QCUH2-HEADPHONEARN-KID-MSBL-WW; Bose item 890101-0010) and Midnight Violet (QCUH2-HEADPHONEARN-KID-MDVIO-WW; Bose item 890101-0020). Variant-specific source responses document the same QCUH2 operation and listed package; this assessment does not merge the collaboration into standard Black.

Bose × Thom Browne

Bose × Thom Browne QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) (Smoked Pearl)

The separately listed Smoked Pearl U.S. collaboration, exact variant QCUH2-HEADPHONEARN-TMBN-SMPRL-WW and Bose item 890101-1100. Bose documents the QCUH2's ANC and wired/digital audio modes, but its exact collaboration page conflicts on whether the audio cable is in the carton and on whether the cushions are cashmere or protein leather; neither disputed field is treated as settled.

JBL

JBL Live 660NC Personalized Wireless Over-Ear Noise-Cancelling Headphones (Black base model)

JBL's U.S. Live 660NC Personalized listing is built on the Live 660NC wireless ANC platform. The product page's default customizer preview illustrates a sample design, not artwork selected for a particular order. The underlying model supports Bluetooth 5.0 multipoint and a rated 40-hour Bluetooth ANC-on maximum; JBL also says its supplied analog cable can continue music after the battery is depleted.

JBL

JBL Tour One M3 Smart Tx Over-Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones and Transmitter (Black)

Current U.S. Smart Tx bundle with a separately included touchscreen audio transmitter, over-ear adaptive ANC, Bluetooth 5.3 multipoint, and a maker-rated 40-hour Bluetooth ANC-on maximum. The transmitter's separate up-to-18-hour rating is not headphone runtime; wired ANC and passive power-off playback have no published runtime/confirmation.

Philips

Philips 6000 Series Over-ear Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones TAH6509BK/00 (Black)

The exact U.S. Black TAH6509BK/00 is an over-ear Philips ANC headphone with Bluetooth 5.3, documented two-device multipoint, a manufacturer-rated 45 hours of music with ANC on, and an included analog audio cable. Philips' source documents disagree on the headphone-side analog connector and do not settle ANC or passive use over that route.

Philips

Philips TAH8000 Over-ear ANC Headphones (Black, U.S. TAH8000BK/37)

The U.S. Black TAH8000BK/37 combines Bluetooth multipoint with documented powered ANC over its 3.5 mm audio cable, a separate cable arrangement usable when the battery is depleted, and a manufacturer-rated 50 hours of Bluetooth music with ANC on. The product flyer also advertises USB-C wired listening, but the manual does not describe that mode in the same detail.

Sennheiser

Sennheiser MOMENTUM 5 Wireless (Black)

Black U.S. MOMENTUM 5 Wireless listing, selected as store SKU 800078 and model M5AEBT. Manufacturer sources describe hybrid adaptive ANC, Bluetooth 5.4 with two active device connections, up to 57 hours of ANC-on Bluetooth playback and a replaceable battery. Passive analog playback is left unresolved because the instruction manual and support FAQ conflict about use with an empty battery.

Sony

Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION (Platinum)

The U.S. Platinum WH-1000XX/W is a closed over-ear Bluetooth noise-cancelling headphone with multipoint and a supplied 3.5 mm cable. Sony documents powered cable ANC but says the headset cannot be used when turned off; it therefore has no passive power-off listening plan. Its 24-hour Bluetooth ANC maximum varies by codec, and its approximate 320 g weight is a source-based specification, not a comfort finding.

Sony

Sony WH-1000XM4C (Black, M4 2nd Gen)

The black U.S. WH-1000XM4C is a distinct 2026 M4 2nd Gen over-ear ANC headphone based on, but not the same retail model as, the original WH-1000XM4. Sony documents Bluetooth 6.0, multipoint, powered cable ANC and passive 3.5 mm playback with the headset off. Published runtime depends on codec and connection: AAC/SBC Bluetooth ANC is rated up to 27 hours, LDAC ANC up to 20 hours, and powered cable ANC up to 19 hours.

Philips TAH8506 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones (Black, U.S.)

An earlier Philips over-ear ANC model with Bluetooth 5.0 multipoint for two devices, a manufacturer-rated maximum of 45 hours with ANC on, and a separately documented included 2.5-to-3.5 mm audio cable. The U.S. White TAH8506WT/00 is retained as a finish-only variant; Philips does not document passive power-off playback or ANC over the analog cable in the reviewed materials.

Technics / Panasonic · Earlier model

Technics EAH-F70N Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones (U.S. model; finish SKU unverified)

Earlier U.S. model-level reference for Technics' hybrid ANC headphone. The U.S.-applicable manual rates Bluetooth SBC with ANC at about 20 hours, documents a two-link setup with only the first device supporting music, and allows passive 3.5 mm playback when off or depleted. A Technics leaflet and the manual's fit instruction support over-ear classification, while Panasonic's U.S. launch copy calls it on-ear; the exact U.S. retail SKU and present offer are not established.

Blue-and-orange JBL JR300BT wireless on-ear headphones in Rocker BlueJBL manufacturer reference image · JR300BT · Rocker Blue

JBL · Model reference

JBL JR300BT Wireless On-Ear Headphones for Kids (Rocker Blue)

The exact U.S. Rocker Blue JR300BT is a Bluetooth 4.0 on-ear headphone with a 32 mm driver, a built-in microphone, a rechargeable battery and a manufacturer-stated generic 12-hour maximum music-playback figure. JBL's U.S. table separately labels a 10-hour value as 'with ANC off'; that field is retained as a source discrepancy, not taken as proof that an active ANC mode exists. ANC remains unknown in the inspected exact-model evidence.

Blue JBL Jr310 wired on-ear headphones with pink ear cushions and attached cableJBL Jr310 wired reference · Blue finish shown

JBL · Model reference

JBL Jr310 Wired On-Ear Headphones (Blue and Red U.S. finishes)

JBL's Blue and Red U.S. Jr310 items are documented as children's wired on-ear headphones with an Auxiliary connection, 32 mm drivers, a call microphone and a flat cable with inline microphone/remote. The exact sources inspected do not establish whether active noise cancellation or powered-off playback is available, so this is an identification reference rather than an ANC recommendation.

JBL · Model reference

JBL Jr310BT Wireless On-Ear Headphones for Kids (Blue)

The exact Blue U.S. Jr310BT item is a Bluetooth 5.0 on-ear model with a built-in microphone, multipoint and an up-to-30-hour manufacturer playback maximum with Bluetooth on. The English spec sheet and quick-start guide disagree on 400 versus 410 mAh battery capacity. JBL's inspected exact-model materials do not directly confirm or deny ANC, so this is a reference assessment, not a positive ANC recommendation.

JBL · Model reference

JBL Junior 320 Wired On-Ear Headphones (Blue and Purple U.S. finishes)

The U.S. Blue and Purple JBL Junior 320 items are documented as wired on-ear headphones for children, with an Auxiliary 3.5 mm connection, 32 mm drivers, a microphone and a fold-flat design. The inspected exact-model sources do not establish ANC or playback while unpowered, so this is a reference assessment rather than a positive noise-cancelling recommendation.

JBL · Model reference

JBL Tune 530 Wired 3.5 mm On-Ear Headphones

A wired on-ear model using a flat 3.5 mm auxiliary cable and a one-button microphone remote. Exact-model sources do not directly resolve ANC or powered-off behavior, so this is an identification reference rather than an ANC finder recommendation.
