Monoprice Horizon ANC

Good comfort ; Reasonably effective ANC for the money ; Above average call quality ; Good Bluetooth performance

Lethargic, ponderous sound ; Audio lacking in detail, clarity, and sharpness

An affordable pair of noise-cancelling headphones that deliver with good comfort and a solid performance in terms of its features, but the Monoprice Dual Driver Bluetooth Headphones are let down by an audio performance that lacks clarity and detail.

Warm, engaging audio ; Battery life longer than expected ; Strong wireless performance ; Affordable

Weak noise-cancelling ; ANC affects sound quality ; Better suited to smaller heads ; No USB-C support for charging

On the surface the Monoprice Sync-ANC seem too good to be true, and in practice they are. Despite good sound, wireless performance and battery life, the noise-cancelling prowess (or lack thereof) is a big disappointment.

Rich, detailed audio performance with bright highs ; Good Bluetooth codec support ; Affordable

No app ; Cumbersome touch controls

The Monoprice Horizon ANC earphones deliver relatively solid active noise cancellation, surprisingly robust Bluetooth codec support, and a detailed sonic experience for just over $50.
