Vivo Over‑Ear Headphones Offer ANC and Long Battery Life at Sub‑€100 Price
Vivo has launched its first over‑ear Bluetooth headphones, featuring the BES2710Y‑8X sound SoC, Bluetooth 5.4, and a suite of active noise‑cancelling (ANC) modes—Light, Normal, and Intense—with a transparent‑mode option. The device supports up to three simultaneous Bluetooth connections, though multi‑device switching is limited to Vivo phones and tablets. Physical buttons handle power, ANC activation, Bluetooth pairing, and volume, providing reliable, tactile control.
The headphones house 40 mm drivers, support LDAC, and deliver a battery life described as “high endurance,” enabling many hours of playback. Priced at €87 in Europe (approximately 499 yuan or €65 in China), they present a strong price‑performance proposition compared with premium models such as Apple’s AirPod Max 2 and Sony’s WH‑1000XM6. Reviewers note the lightweight plastic housing offers comfort for extended wear and good passive isolation, while the ANC is effective but not on par with top‑tier competitors. Sound quality is solid but slightly flat, and the volume knob feels less premium. Overall, the Vivo over‑ear headphones are praised for their comfort, feature set, and affordability.
