Saramonic SR-BH600

The Saramonic SR-BH600 delivers surprisingly good sound and excellent connectivity for around $125 USD, with multipoint Bluetooth and a 3.5mm jack. The catch is a 16 hour battery that ranks near the bottom of our database. Call quality is also weak, so skip these if you're on the phone all day. For music-focused buyers on a budget, the sound quality and comfort make these worth a look.

The sound profile here is genuinely strong. Our database puts the SR-BH600 in the 84th percentile for sound, which translates to one of the better listening experiences you'll find in this price bracket. The 40mm dynamic drivers deliver the deep bass Saramonic promises in the marketing copy, and the closed-back design helps keep that low end punchy. The frequency response covers the standard 20Hz to 20kHz range, and you get AAC support alongside the basic SBC codec, so iPhone users won't get stuck with the worst Bluetooth audio quality.

Connectivity is actually the standout spec here, landing in the 91st percentile. Bluetooth 5.0 with multipoint means you can pair with two devices at once, which is a feature we usually see on more expensive headphones. The 3.5mm jack is a nice fallback for wired listening or when the battery dies. And the battery will die, because 16 hours puts these in the 17th percentile for battery life. That's the trade-off. You get great wireless flexibility and solid sound, but you'll be reaching for the charger more often than you would with most competitors.

The Sony ULT WEAR WHULT900N/B is the obvious benchmark here. Sony's offering brings stronger ANC and much better battery life, but you'll pay more for it. The Sennheiser MOMENTUM M5AEBT is in a completely different league on sound quality and build, but the price reflects that. If you're comparing the SR-BH600 to those, you're really asking whether you want to spend more for better ANC and battery, or save money and accept compromises.

The more direct comparisons are the JBL Tune 670NC and TOZO HT3. Both of those offer longer battery life than the Saramonic, and JBL has stronger brand recognition. But the SR-BH600's 91st percentile connectivity score with multipoint is a genuine advantage over both. The Technics EAH-A800 is the wildcard here, with better overall performance but a significantly higher price. For pure sound quality per dollar, the Saramonic holds its own against all of these.

At $125 USD, the SR-BH600 sits in a crowded field. The JBL Tune 670NC and TOZO HT3 both compete in this range, and both offer longer battery life. But the Saramonic's sound quality and connectivity scores beat what we typically see from those budget options. You're trading battery endurance for better audio and more flexible pairing.

The value proposition gets murkier when you look at the Canadian and Mexican pricing. At $134 CAD, these are still reasonable, but the gap to more established brands shrinks. The MXN 4,064 price point puts them in a different competitive context entirely. For US buyers, the $125 price feels fair for what you get, as long as you accept the battery limitation.

The Saramonic SR-BH600 is one of those products that makes you do a double take. Saramonic built their name on audio gear for video production, not consumer headphones. So when they drop a set of wireless over-ears with active noise cancellation at a price that undercuts most of the big names, we pay attention. These are aimed at people who want decent ANC and a comfortable fit without spending Sony or Bose money.

On paper, you get 40mm dynamic drivers, Bluetooth 5.0 with multipoint, a 3.5mm jack for wired use, and a foldable design that weighs 230 grams. The 16 hour battery life is the headline number that gives us pause. That's not great in 2025, even for budget cans. But the sound and connectivity scores in our database tell a more interesting story.

Who is this for? Someone who wants a pair of headphones for music and casual listening, maybe some studio monitoring on a budget, and doesn't need to be on calls all day. The calls score is rough, and we'll get into that. But for pure listening, the SR-BH600 punches above its price point in a few key areas.

If you spend a significant portion of your day on calls or video meetings, the SR-BH600 is not for you. The single microphone and 39.9 calls score mean your voice will sound thin and background noise will bleed through. Look at the Jabra Evolve2 Buds or a dedicated office headset instead. Frequent travelers should also think twice. The 16 hour battery won't get you through a long-haul flight without a recharge, and the ANC is only average. The Sony ULT WEAR or Sennheiser MOMENTUM line will serve you better there, though at a higher price. And if you're an Android user who cares about high-quality Bluetooth codecs, the lack of aptX or LDAC support means you're stuck with SBC, which is a noticeable step down from what competing headphones offer.

If you're buying these for music listening and you don't mind charging every couple of days, the SR-BH600 is a solid pick. The sound quality is genuinely good for the price, and the multipoint connectivity is a feature you usually have to pay more for. The comfort scores suggest you can wear these for extended sessions without fatigue, which matters more than most spec sheet numbers.

But if you take a lot of calls or need headphones that last through a full workday plus commute, look elsewhere. The 39.9 calls score and 16 hour battery make these a poor fit for office use. For studio work on a budget, the 58.3 score suggests these could work as a secondary monitoring option, but they're not a primary studio tool.
