Tribit QuietPlus 81 wireless noise-cancelling headphones with deep bass and up to 110H playtime
Product description
What these headphones are for
The Tribit QuietPlus 81 are over-ear, foldable Bluetooth headphones built around one straightforward idea: reducing the distraction of everyday noise while keeping the bass sounding properly weighty. The hybrid active noise cancelling uses five microphones plus an AI algorithm, so it’s aimed at commutes, office days and study sessions where you’d rather have a quieter bubble.
On the audio side, the headline is “deep bass”. It’s not just marketing language on paper, either: there’s a 40mm dynamic driver with an XBass boost you can trigger with a double-tap on the right ear cup. If you like your music with more low-end impact (without constantly fiddling with settings), that quick gesture control is the kind of thing you end up using more than you expect.
Key points you’ll notice in use
The most relevant bits for real life are the combination of ANC performance and battery life. With ANC off, the stated playtime is up to 110 hours, with ANC on, it drops to up to 70 hours. Either way, it’s comfortably in the “week(s) between charges” territory for light-to-moderate users, and it should suit travel and work patterns where you don’t want to keep managing charging schedules.
There’s also fast charging: 10 minutes gives up to 5 hours of playtime (at 50% volume). That’s useful if you forget to top up before leaving home or if you’re mid-trip and the battery suddenly isn’t what you hoped.
On the comfort side, the memory foam and breathable protein-leather style cushioning are designed for longer listening. Combined with an adjustable headband, it’s meant to keep pressure sensible when you wear them for a while—though, as always, fit can depend on head shape, so it’s worth paying attention to adjustability.
Where the noise cancelling fits (and where it may not)
The hybrid ANC is rated up to 45dB depth, using five microphones and an AI algorithm. That suggests a more active approach than basic single-mic systems, and it’s designed to minimise disruption from background noise rather than magically removing all sound.
It’s also worth noting that ANC off can be a pragmatic choice: you get longer playtime (up to 110 hours), and if you’re in a quieter room or you want to hear announcements and conversations more clearly, running without ANC may suit you. In other words, you don’t necessarily need ANC switched on all the time.
Bass and sound personalisation: what you can control
If you want one button-style shortcut to “more bass”, the XBass function is activated by double-tapping the right ear cup. It’s positioned as a significant boost, which will likely appeal to listeners who find standard tuning a bit too flat in the lows.
Beyond that, you’re not stuck with a single sound signature. You get 6 custom EQ modes and the option to create your own EQ via the TRIBIT app. That’s a strong point if you enjoy tweaking settings for different genres—just remember that app-based custom EQ only helps if you’re willing to spend a little time setting it up.
Comfortable for travel and work
These are described as comfortable and foldable, aimed at people who wear headphones across different settings. The adjustable headband and memory-foam cushioning are the key comfort elements, and the foldable design is meant to make them easier to pack for travel.
A practical example: imagine heading on a train to work. You fold them into a bag, arrive, put them on, switch ANC on, and use one of the EQ modes without digging through menus. For desk days, you can keep the fit consistent with the headband adjustment and focus more on your tasks than on audio tuning.

Is it worth it?
Buy the Tribit QuietPlus 81 if you want wireless over-ear headphones that lean into hybrid active noise cancelling, have a long battery life (especially with ANC off), and offer quick deep-bass control alongside EQ modes you can tweak in the app.
You may want to skip them if you’re extremely sensitive to fit (since comfort depends on head shape even with an adjustable headband) or if you only listen occasionally and don’t care about ANC and EQ customisation—then features like app-based EQ and ANC may feel like overkill.
Overall, they sit in a sensible mid-range “daily use” lane on paper: commuting, working, studying and travel are exactly the scenarios they’re aiming at. The only real caveat is that ANC depth is never the same thing as total silence, so temper expectations if you’re trying to eliminate every last noise.
Mini FAQ
Does ANC reduce noise noticeably for commuting?
It’s designed to minimise noise disruption with hybrid active noise cancelling using five microphones and AI, rated up to 45dB depth. It should help in everyday settings like commuting, but it won’t create absolute silence.
How long do the headphones last on a charge?
The stated playtime is up to 110 hours with ANC off, and up to 70 hours with ANC on. Fast charging also helps if you need a quick top-up.
Can I change the sound beyond preset EQ?
Yes. You can switch between 6 EQ modes or create your own EQ via the TRIBIT app.
Can I boost bass quickly without using an app?
Yes. XBass can be activated with a double-tap on the right ear cup for a bass boost.
Do they fold for travel?
They’re described as foldable, with comfort-focused over-ear cushioning suitable for travel and longer wear.
