Noise Airwave Max 4 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones with 70H Playtime, ENC, 40mm Driver, Low Latency(up to 40ms), Dual Pairing, BT v5.4 (Calm Beige)

I recently purchased the NOISE AIRWAVE MAX 4 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones, and I must say, they exceeded my expectations in every way .Very good product , great quality, active noise cancellation , amazing looks ,very soft and feathery on ears , doesn't hurt on long use , premium sound.

Build quality is excellent and overall comfortable experience. Battery backup is excellent. Buttons are distinct and work crisply. Sound is good for outdoor music and gyms. However, voice/dialogues are not crisp. Dual pairing works nicely. Overall it is a good buy for my outdoor runs.

UPDATE 31MARCH2025: (This post will help people as I see many reporting issues with connectivity/distortion/quality. )The issue as I see is with Samsung Android devices and not with other phones like nothing 2a as a family member has that and this headphone works fine there. Nevertheless, if you experience distortion or quality issues, you can try changing the bluetooth codec as mentioned below.Samsung has its own codec too which it uses for its earbuds.UPDATE 30MARCH2025: (This post will help people as I see many reporting issues with connectivity/distortion/quality. )Mostly as I saw the reviews - issues reported were with distorted sound/quality of sound and with a set of devices and mostly people saying that it was seen with windows pc. I was able to fix the problem myself. PLEASE NOTE: There was no help from Noise. Noise tech did not help troubleshoot.).My ticket was just closed from Noise end and so I realised if I went back there again, the device would just go back and forth only but my problem would not get fixed. No one from Noise called me through the entire process to even understand the issue in detail or even when it was marked checked after sending it back for the first time.----TECHNICAL EXPLANATION---How I solved the issue - A common problem reported from multiple reviews was about distortion(sometimes written as quality) and was with some devices and then mostly with windows pc users. So, it cannot be that such a priced headphone will have substandard quality when some verified purchases reviews having 5 stars. The battery is good. So, some issue might be with the chipset hardware."Codec" is coding-decoding and a bluetooth codec is used to compress and decompress audio data for efficient wireless transmission. Depending upon the codec the quality of your sound differs.This device seems to be defaulting to AAC (advcd audio encoding) which apple devices use. I had to go to "Developer Options" in android (to enable "Developer Options" in Android please google it) and try another codec. I switched to SBC (Sub-Band Codec) on my phone which is a very old codec and is prone to losses, and then it sounded fine. Attached two images for reference.for Samsung:1 Go to "Settings"2 Tap "About device" or "About phone"3 Tap “Software information”4 Tap “Build number” seven times. ...5 Enter your pattern, PIN or password to enable the Developer options menu.6 The "Developer options" menu will now appear in your Settings menu.PLEASE NOTE: YOUR PHONE NEEDS TO BE CONNECTED/PAIRED WITH THE HEADSET FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE BLUETOOTH CODEC OPTION IN YOUR "DEVELOPER OPTIONS" IN ANDROID. IF YOU ARE NOT CONNECTED TO THE HEADSET, THE OPTION FOR CODEC SELECTION WILL BE GRAYED OUT.But upon shutting down and turning back on after few hours, when it pairs again, the setting goes back to AAC at times. Its a pain changing it again when you disconnect and reconnect back.On PC its completely distorted. Windows does not allow to change codecs. Based on what I found, it does not have selections like we have for Android. I will keep looking for a way to change it.Whichever manufacturer the chipset is being imported from, is having different codecs than samsung android.UPDATE 29MARCH2025:I received the headphones back from noise and they just sent back the same thing in broken state.I cannot imagine why a company is doing this. It's like "here its back again but just in a diff box"Now again open a ticket and then send back item. Why did i purchase this from amazon in the first place. I should have gone to a shop purchased it. Atleast would not be facing this.Complete utter disregard to customer. Its customer problem. Let him be with a broken thing.========================Never seen such worse quality by paying this much money. Sound distorted right out from the box. Listen to audio -spotify or anything, even phone call, sound is heavily distorted. Any other of my old bluetooth headphones and earphones are fine. Breaks heavily in between. I do not know how even people gave it 5 stars. But if you hear a music, its as if like the audio tape is getting stuck in between.Not worth the money. Defective in sound right from the box. Never seen such bad quality that too for a higher priced item.And to top it, Amazon's stand is this has to be taken up with noise only. That too I just received it today.I opened up a ticket with noise. Will have to wait for their response.Have never seen such a worse pricey product.

I’ve been using the Noise Airwave Max 4 and they’ve exceeded my expectations. Great sound, comfy fit, and the battery just doesn’t quit. Quick pairing with my devices is super convenient. Definitely a solid buy!

After nearly a month of using these headphones extensively (10-12 hours daily), I can confidently say that they deliver impressive performance, especially considering the price range. Here’s a detailed breakdown of their strengths and minor drawbacks based on my experience.### Comfort and Long UsageOne of the highlights is the comfort level; even after prolonged use, the fit remains snug without causing discomfort, which makes them ideal for long listening sessions. This aspect is especially notable given that many headphones in this range tend to fall short on comfort for extended wear.### Sound QualityThe audio quality is balanced, with a satisfying clarity in both mids and highs. For casual listeners and music enthusiasts alike, these headphones provide a pleasant sound profile.However, there are some nuances:- **Volume and Sound Leakage**: The volume output is robust, though after the 50-60% mark, there’s noticeable sound leakage, which progressively increases as the volume rises. At full volume (100%), the sound is uncomfortably loud, and the bass becomes highly pronounced, creating a tactile vibration that can be felt upon touching the headphones. While this bass emphasis might appeal to bass lovers, it’s not ideal for balanced listening at maximum volume. Additionally, at this level, the leakage is substantial—effectively turning the headphones into mini speakers that can be heard across a room. This is not conducive to a private listening experience, but it is manageable when the volume is kept at 80% or below.- **Low-Volume Performance**: On the flip side, these headphones perform admirably in quiet environments; I can listen comfortably at just 10% volume and still hear everything clearly, even in a room with background noise from a fan. For my regular usage, I find 30% volume is perfect for music, while 60% works well for videos and movies.### Battery LifeBattery life is another area where these headphones shine. The manufacturer’s claim of 70 hours holds true. I’ve been charging them every 4-5 days despite rigorous usage, and they consistently deliver, making them reliable for extended listening sessions without frequent recharging.### Dual Pairing CapabilityA standout feature is the **dual pairing capability**, which works seamlessly. I can connect both my PC and mobile simultaneously, and the headphones automatically switch audio sources based on activity. When I press play on one device, media playback on the other device automatically pauses, ensuring a smooth, uninterrupted experience. Additionally, the headphones will automatically pause media playback if a call comes in, making them versatile and convenient for multitasking across devices.### Controls and ConnectivityThe buttons on the right side are intuitive and well-placed, making it easy to adjust volume, skip tracks, and take calls without fumbling. The included aux cable for wired mode works well for most setups, though the cable length may be a bit short for desktop connections.### Value for MoneyFor their price range, these headphones are highly competitive. While other options might prioritize crowd-pleasing, bass-heavy sound profiles, these provide a more balanced output that doesn’t overshadow other frequencies. Combined with the impressive battery life, they stand out against alternatives that may compromise longevity for exaggerated bass.### Final VerdictFor anyone looking for affordable headphones that don’t sacrifice sound quality or comfort, these are an excellent choice. They are especially suited for listeners who appreciate balanced sound, dual-device functionality, and long battery life. However, if you’re sensitive to sound leakage or plan to use them frequently at high volumes, this is something to consider. Overall, I would recommend these headphones for their solid performance and great value.

I recently bought the Noise Airwave Max 4, and I have to say, it’s been a delightful surprise. I truly didn’t expect to find such incredible quality at such an affordable price. The sound is crystal clear, the pairing process was a breeze, and the microphone performance is excellent. I’m genuinely thrilled with my purchase, and I wholeheartedly encourage others to consider the Noise brand. They really deliver on quality, and it feels good to find a product that exceeds expectations!RegardsKannan

Great sound quality. Value for money. Amazing and immersive experience. Monster battery life. Might be a little tight if you have a big head and audio to the receiver is not always clear during calls. Overall a great product at the given price.
