Srhythm NiceComfort NC15

The Srhythm NiceComfort NC15 is a budget over-ear ANC headphone with a 120-hour battery life that tops our entire database. The hybrid noise cancelling is surprisingly effective for the price, and comfort is excellent for long sessions. Sound quality is average, but for $60, this is one of the best value picks in wireless headphones right now.

The battery is the headline act. 120 hours of playtime puts the NC15 at the 100th percentile in our database. That's not just best-in-class, it's the absolute best we've seen. You could realistically go weeks between charges with normal use. The Bluetooth 6.0 connection is also top-tier, landing in the 99th percentile. Multipoint support means you can pair with your laptop and phone at the same time, and the low latency mode keeps audio synced for videos and casual gaming.

Sound quality is more middle of the pack, sitting in the 57th percentile. The spatial audio feature adds some width to the soundstage, and the vocal booster helps with podcasts and calls. But don't expect audiophile detail. The 16Ω impedance means these are easy to drive, and the hybrid driver setup does a decent job with bass response. For the price, the sound is perfectly fine. Just don't expect it to compete with $300 headphones. The mic performance is solid at the 71st percentile, with ENC doing real work to filter out wind and street noise on calls.

Against the Sony ULT WEAR WHULT900N/B, the NC15 wins on battery life and price but loses on sound quality and brand recognition. Sony's tuning is more refined, and the ULT WEAR has better bass response. But you're paying roughly three times more for that improvement. The JBL Tune 670NC is the closest direct competitor in price, and while JBL has better brand trust, the NC15's 120-hour battery absolutely demolishes the JBL's typical 40-50 hour runtime. The TOZO HT3 is another budget option, but its ANC doesn't match what Srhythm is doing here.

The Beyerdynamic Aventho and Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus are in a completely different league on sound quality. If you care about audio fidelity above all else, those are the better choices. But they cost significantly more, and neither can touch the NC15's battery endurance. For the budget-conscious buyer who wants ANC and doesn't want to charge their headphones every few days, the NC15 is the clear winner in this group.

At $60 USD, the NC15 is an absurd value. You're getting best-in-class battery life, top-tier connectivity, and ANC that competes with headphones costing three times as much. The JBL Tune 670NC sits in a similar price range but doesn't match the battery or ANC performance. The Sony ULT WEAR costs significantly more and offers better sound quality, but you're paying a premium for the brand. If your priority is battery life and noise cancelling on a budget, there's nothing else in this bracket that comes close. The 4.5-star rating from 132 reviews suggests most buyers agree.

The Srhythm NiceComfort NC15 sits in that budget over-ear ANC bracket where you're usually making real compromises. At around $60 USD, it's competing with names like JBL and Sony that charge more for the logo alone. These are closed-back wireless headphones with hybrid noise cancelling, Bluetooth 6.0, spatial audio, and a claimed 120-hour battery life. That last number is not a typo, and it's the kind of spec that makes you do a double take.

People searching for cheap noise cancelling headphones usually want to know two things: does the ANC actually work, and will they fall apart in six months. The NC15 answers the first question surprisingly well. The hybrid ANC combined with the over-ear passive isolation blocks out a solid chunk of background noise. Our database puts the ANC performance in the 95th percentile, which is wild for this price. The build quality lands in the 79th percentile, so it's not premium, but it's not flimsy either.

Comfort is where this thing really shines. The slow-rebound foam earpads and lightweight 249g frame make these easy to wear for hours. Multiple owners mention the comfort as a standout, and the 83rd percentile comfort score backs that up. If you're looking for budget headphones for long flights or work sessions, this is a strong candidate.

Skip the NC15 if you're an audio purist or you need headphones for studio monitoring or critical mixing. The sound quality is serviceable but not exceptional, and the studio score of 50.8/100 makes that clear. If you want rich, detailed audio, look at the Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus or Beyerdynamic Aventho instead. Also skip these if you need a carrying case included or you want premium materials like metal hinges and memory foam that feels luxurious. The build is durable but utilitarian. And if you're a competitive gamer who needs pinpoint positional audio and a broadcast-quality mic, a dedicated gaming headset will serve you better.

Should you buy the Srhythm NiceComfort NC15? If you want budget ANC headphones with ridiculous battery life, yes. This is one of the easiest recommendations we've made in the budget category. The comfort is excellent, the noise cancelling is genuinely effective, and the 120-hour battery means you'll forget where the charging cable even is.

The main reason to look elsewhere is sound quality. If you're an audio enthusiast or you plan to use these for critical listening or studio work, the 50.8/100 studio score tells the story. These aren't for mixing or mastering. But for commuting, travel, office work, or just drowning out your noisy neighbors, the NC15 delivers far more than its price tag suggests.
