Recently, I spent a week trying out the Tribit QuietPlus 81. These headphones — which come equipped with active noise cancelling — are some of the cheapest over-ears I’ve ever tested. They have a list price below $50 / £50 and, according to Tribit, deliver “excellent bass,” as well as a “comfortable fit” and “crystal clear calls”.
How accurate is this exactly? Well, I’ll get to that. But this all got me thinking: is it really possible to get good quality headphones at such a low price?
