Monster over-ear headphones, Bluetooth 6.0

What to know

If you want headphones for travel and longer listening sessions, this Monster model combines hybrid active noise cancellation with a wireless over-ear design. If your priority is a simple pair for occasional listening, its longer battery claim and ANC may matter less.

It uses 40 mm drivers and a digital audio processor, with Bluetooth 6.0 for wireless listening and calls. The product information describes its sound as balanced, but gives no codec, frequency response or other measurements to help compare sound in detail.

Battery life is listed as up to 50 hours with ANC off. USB-C fast charging is also advertised: a five-minute charge is said to provide four hours of playtime. Keep in mind that the 50-hour figure applies with noise cancellation turned off, so it should not be treated as the runtime with ANC active.

Best use cases

Hybrid ANC uses internal and external microphones to monitor surrounding noise. That makes these headphones a plausible fit for steady background sounds during a flight or commute, while the over-ear format is intended to cover the ears. Noise cancellation can reduce distractions, but the listing does not claim that it removes every sound around you.

The advertised long runtime may suit a trip or a run of workdays when charging opportunities are limited. Bluetooth 6.0 also means you can listen without a cable, and the product is described as supporting calls. The listing does not give call-quality test results, so “crystal-clear” is best read as a claim rather than a guarantee.

It suits you if you want ANC, wireless listening and a stated 50-hour maximum with ANC off in one pair. Maybe it is not for you if you need detailed sound specifications before choosing, or if you expect the listed runtime to apply while ANC is on.

Tips for day-to-day use

For a flight, switch on ANC when the cabin hum is distracting, then use the headphones for music or podcasts, for a quick conversation, pause your audio and use the call function. In a busy street, keep enough awareness of your surroundings rather than relying on noise cancellation to make every situation quiet.

The cushioned earpads and adjustable headband are presented as comfort features for extended wear. Fit is personal, though, so an over-ear shape may not feel right for everyone. For longer stretches away from a charger, the 50-hour claim is most relevant with ANC off, a short USB-C top-up is another option when the battery is running low.

Three specific questions

Does noise cancellation work during travel? The headphones have hybrid ANC designed to monitor and reduce surrounding noise, including examples such as aircraft cabin hum. The listing does not state how much noise it cancels.

How long can they play between charges? Up to 50 hours is claimed with ANC off. The available information does not give a separate runtime with ANC enabled.

Can they be used for calls? Yes. Calls are listed as a use, and Bluetooth 6.0 provides the wireless connection. No microphone specifications or independent call results are provided.

Is it worth it?

Choose these Monster headphones if you value over-ear wear, hybrid ANC and a long stated runtime with ANC switched off, especially for travel or daily listening. The short-charge claim is useful for rushed top-ups, but it does not replace knowing how long the battery lasts with ANC on. If that mode is central to your routine, the missing ANC-on runtime is a meaningful gap, if you mainly want wireless listening and can use ANC selectively, the feature set is more aligned with that need.
