While most headphones include a microphone, very few offer anything other than middling call quality. No pass-through mode is available.Ī more unusual focus with the Adapt 360 is on microphone performance. If you have an especially noisy workspace, you might wish to consider another option, but for most, the cancellation will be sufficient. Blocking the noise of a busy street as well as a general office set-up, I found it to be mostly effective if not quite up there with the best currently available.

With only SBC and aptX, the Adapt 360 lags behind the competition in this regard. Given the price of £219, it’s unfortunate, however, that a wider array of Bluetooth codecs is not offered. The headset can effectively connect to several devices at once, switching audio on the fly to whichever one is active. Fiddling with a Bluetooth connection and switching devices while also trying to answer an incoming call is no one’s idea of fun, and thanks to this feature, it’s a thing of the past. Given the different target audience, the features on the Adapt 360 aren’t always what would be prioritised for a purely consumer-focused set of cans – but that isn’t to doubt their usefulness.įirstly, the inclusion of multi-point Bluetooth is highly welcome and a lifesaver in some situations. The USB-C charging port makes a quick top-up easier than it would be with micro-USB, both of which are nice additions. The presence of a 3.5mm headphone jack means that the device can at least be plugged in and used even when it’s out of battery. For example, the ability to summon a virtual assistant is available but only achievable via a small button that is nigh on impossible to easily find by touch alone while wearing the headphones. But with three buttons, a joystick and two ports, the cup is crowded, and it’s difficult to make quick adjustments without having a closer look.Īlthough touch-centric controls haven’t quite been perfected yet on headphones in general, the use of physical buttons here is an impediment to general use. Crowded on the right cup, there’s a plethora of options, from track skipping to Bluetooth connectivity and more. The positive impressions from the look and feel somewhat dissipate when it comes to the on-device controls. If you have a call-heavy workflow or a long commute, or you like extensive listening sessions (or all of the above), the Adapt 360 will fit in well with your life. The padding around the ear cups does a good job of shielding the ear from outside noise, as well as allowing a slight flow of air. Over long calls or listening sessions, there was no rubbing, and I noted the lack of heat build-up around the ears. Image Credit (Trusted Reviews)Ĭrucially, they are also comfortable to wear. That said, they look suitably premium and have a solid, robust feel without being excessively heavy. Coming in either a tasteful white or black, these cans won’t stand out, and that is the point. On the spectrum of design – where the likes of Beats and the Apple AirPods Max scream their presence – the Adapt 360 exists as their opposite. So what does a business-centric set of over-ear headphones look like? Taking the Adapt 360 as an answer, it seems that the ability to blend in is key.
