These are great for the price – I use these headphones at night to watch tv when hubby goes to bed. I have had no issue with them breaking or falling apart like other people, they still work great just I can't charge them anymore, I don't know if its the cord as the set worked until they went flat. I have been looking around at other ones but don't want to pay the exorbitant price. Come on Aldi let's have them on special again very soon. Show details
These headphones break – Ive had 3 pairs of these now and the latest ones only lasted a bit over 6 months before the head band snapped near the right hand speaker, I repaired the break with thin aluminium strap some epoxy & tape. within a week it snapped at the next joint up, repaired again same as the first repair. 1 week later left side broke so fixed once again, same… Read more
again a week later. there is now more tape/aluminium/epoxy than the original head phone strap but very rigid to wear. lets see what breaks next. ???
Great sounding and super comfortable headphones at a fraction of the cost of big brands! – These Bauhn headphones really are fantastic value for money. They have decent sound quality (lacking a bit at the mid-range but otherwise crisp with punchy bass). While I prefer using large premium headphones with an open soundstage at home, I can't lug a giant pair of studio reference Sennheiser or AKG around when travelling or at work. I… Read more
considered going with the SONY XM4 series, but then this little number caught my eye when I was shopping at my local ALDI. On a whim, I decided to purchase them just out of curiosity. How good could these cheap headphones be? Boy, was I pleasantly surprised.
You're not getting hundreds of dollars worth of value here, but you are getting more than you paid for. A premium feeling carrying case, decent sound, noise cancelling that is just good enough to drown out any traffic or the tapping of your co-worker's new mechanical keyboards, travel accessories, USB-C charging and most importantly large over-the-ear cups with super soft memory foam. The last part is particularly important for people with sensitive ears as smaller cups that sit on your ears can start to hurt after a while. I would definitely recommend these over any cheap offerings from JBL and the like.
These headphones are great if you are on a budget or just don't feel like you need to shell out hundreds of dollars for the best of the best experience.

BAUHN Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones HE170751 – Another overall good Bluetooth Headphones from ALDI under $70. Good material quality and battery life.

Positive reviews
Amazing! – These headphones are really good for me and my siblings we use it all the time but recently as listed on different sights it does say that it has a one year warranty and that’s what these headphones have lived up to. Recently the plastic has snapped but for this price it’s really good and the cracks in the headphones are from me dropping them because I’m clumsy but Again with the snapped but of the headphones it’s only a small vulnerable bit Show details
Wow, fantastic! – These are our third set of headphones from Aldi. They truly are noise cancelling. Amazing sound and extremely comfortable to use. The headphones come with a case, including all accessories. The case is very stylish, like the Bose case. Highly recommended!! Show details
work well but fragile – I found these headphones to be great value although you have to be careful with them they connect well ;they fit well (you have to have them the right way around!); they sound good and the noise cancelling works pretty well- they fall apart after a while but tape fixes that Show details
Negative reviews
No good for making calls – Good headphones to listen to music and definitely noise cancelling, however I purchased them to be able to also make phone calls. Even in the quietest location you cannot make a call as it sounds like you are in a tunnel. The other person can't hear at all. Really disappointing and a waste of money. Show details
Ok, I guess – The actual sound quality was some of the best I’ve heard. Unfortunately, the noise canceling was terrible and the band snapped in half. I wish they were better quality because I liked them and l miss them . Show details
Absolutely useless don't waste your money they've stuffed up the design and comfort – My initial set of noise cancelling headphones were excellent after a few years they wore out. I recently replaced them with Aldi's new version what a huge mistake the design is all wrong with the ear pieces off set on an angle, the lack of padding on the head rest is very uncomfortable. Do yourself a huge favour do not waste your money spend alittle more money and go to a far better quality product elsewhere Show details

Padding – The padding around the ears on the inside is coming away, didn't last very long. Sound keeps dropping out. The rate the padding is coming away, will be foam soon. Material on inside is all loose. Definitely would not buy them again, this the second pair that has stuffed up. Show details
battery life is awful – I bought these headphones from Aldi. I really liked them until the battery stopped charging. I use the headphones for meditation and it is awful when the calming music is interrupted (after a few minutes) with a voice saying, "Battery is low!" Unfortunately I have lost the receipt so I'm not sure how to resurrect the battery life. Show details

Good for the price but fragile – I think the sound is really great and they were awesome on my flights between Australia and Vienna, actually helped me to get some good sleep and feel less jet-lagged afterwards. The problem is they are really fragile and 9 months into using just snapped in half when I was taking them off my head. I used some tape to keep them together which now… Read more
creates pressure on my head and I'm not sure how much longer I will be able to use them. This is really disappointing, I was very happy with them until this happened.
Love it so far – Bought the headphones from Aldi. Was sceptical about it at first after reading some of the feedback from others. However it's the same case with other brands so figured I give it a go. So far I'm loving it and still working great. ANC works great even when device is turned off. Must cheaper compared to other brands from Amazon. Overall, great unit. Good sound quality, good battery life. Show details
Smart looking comfortable product but with connection problem – I purchased a set of BAUHN HE190067 headphones at ALDI in March this year. They look and feel great, pairing with my PC was easy, but when I switch them on to use them, only 'Voice' connects and not 'Music'. I then have to disconnect/reconnect them via Settings on my PC to make both Voice and Music connect. (I don't have to pair them again.… Read more
Pairing is not a problem, although I've tried pairing several times to see if that remedies the problem. It doesn't.)
I've found that they can be paired with a couple of devices simultaneously, e.g. PC and smartphone. When I pair them with the phone, they connect properly, which suggests the problem I have is with the Windows 10 driver. However, I've owned a set of BAUHN HE215027 headphones for several years and they connect properly every time, even though they're now falling apart. If I switch the new (HE190067) headphones on before starting the PC, they connect properly as the PC starts up.
I'm wondering if a dedicated Bluetooth driver is available for these headphones. Having to connect via Windows Settings is a nuisance. I'd provide a much higher rating for these headphones if they connected with my PC properly. Occasionally they do, but most of the time they don't and the warranty agent isn't interested.
Fabulous Headphones – Bought these Bauhn Headphones from Aldi in March. They fit comfortably on my ears and are great for cancelling the noise out when vacuuming. The sound is great and you are able to adjust the volume to your satisfaction. My only complaint would be the USB cord is too small. Show details
Love them! – Bought the Baun wireless noise cancelling headphones from Aldi which I love. They connect really quickly and the sound is great. I am yet to use them on a flight but for the price Im sure they will measure up. Show details
Fragility is a huge negative – I listen to music on my headphones. They worked well until one day I took them from their case and they snapped in half from the middle of the frame. Show details
Pretty Good, after a while battery??? – I love listening to new pop music. The bass is great and the sound is clear. The only problem is that one day I charged it and it only lasted for 10 mins before fully dying. If someone could explain why that'd also be great, but I'm pretty sad as I use them while I study.

Sanity saver for noisy office, excellent value – Other reviews I have seen under this product are for the previous iteration sold in Jan 2020 for $49.99. This appears to be a new model released in March 2020 for $79.99. Used in open plan office to reduce distraction of ambient noise and play music. Bought as a replacement for Senn HD202IIs (not ANC) that were getting a bit loose and tattered.… Read more
Unit is comfortable, no issues with overheating or headband pressure for long sessions Audio quality is not as good as the 202s. Not hi-fi, but that's not what I bought them for. Sucks a bit of bottom end from BT audio when ANC enabled but nothing major. EQing helps balance this. ANC is effective at reducing office noise to a point where it can easily be ignored, or can't be noticed at all over low-volume audio. Not on Sony WH or Bose QC level, but certainly holds its own against some JBLs I've used at 3x the RRP of this unit. In fact I'd rank this unit alongside the JBLs across the board. Overall, it does what it says on the tin at an exceptional pricepoint for the level of functionality it provides.
Snapped in two – I actually thought for the price the headphones were ok. The sound and noise cancellation were fine. The mic not so much. Issue the frame itself snapped in half with very little pressure. Just picked them up from the top and collapsed. So if you want a pair you need to be extra careful with them. Show details

Fantastic for the price – I use these to block out noise and listen to podcasts whilst at work or doing house work even with vacuum on. Battery is good, holds charge of a few hours Show details
Ear pads are too small and uncomfortable – I bought these headphones from Aldi thinking they were the wireless ones. They're not. They appear to be old stock if the Specials Archive - Aldi Australia is up-to-date. http://offers.kd2.org/en/au/aldi/pegbr/ That didn't bother me though. What bothered me was when I put them on for the first time and found they squashed my ears. I tried but… Read more
there was no way I could make them comfortable. They would be unbearable to wear. (I'm a slim woman with fairly small ears that are on a slight angle). I'll be taking these back to Aldi for a refund. They may suit a child or someone with very small ears. They were so uncomfortable I haven't bothered charging them, so I can't comment on their sound quality or noise-cancelling properties. I tried on Bose Quiet Comfort 35 II and found them very comfortable, but at $300 - $400 (depending on specials) they're very pricey, hence trying out these Aldi ones. Alas, no joy.
perfect headphone for iphone users – i normally listen to pop music when im bored and in the public theres so much noise and this headset is perfect for listening in public where theres too much noise Show details
(not noise cancelling version) Good for the price, but uncomfortable and old technology – I got this for $27. For the price, considering it's bluetooth 4.0, not so comfortable and you can't use it while it charges, it's still good. Very good build quality for the price (or even in general), pretty good microphone, good sound and so on. You can't listen while it charges, but neither can you leave it charging. The manual says that will… Read more
destroy the battery, so using the headphones becomes a chore just because of the battery.
It's also pretty small, so it's very uncomfortable to me (I have big ears). The pads are ok, but the size compresses my ears a lot. I knew this just by looking at the box but decided to give it a try.
The microphone is surprisingly good given how far away from the mouth it is. People can hear me ok even in the wind. The sound quality is good too, but I don't care or know much about it.
I will return it because I made the silly decision of buying a Kogan one and it seems that it will be impossible to return those. And at the end of the day they are similar. The Kogan one is terrible in most aspects, but the battery issue and size of the Bauhn one ends up making them both generally bad options for me (probably much better for someone with small ears).
Bauhn Bluetooth headphones – They are brilliant for the price. They are comfortable to wear with soft ear pads and not heavy, works perfectly with all my bluetooth devices and phone mic as well. Can comfortably go about my work around the yard and housework without them falling off, just love them. Show details
Aldi has done it again! Good products and super cheap prices – These are the real deal in terms of price, music quality is excellent and they are wireless which I love so I don't have to worry about wires getting tangled or getting in my way.
Value for money! – I bought these to replace my Boise that hurt my ears after a period of time. Bauhn headsets does not and are much more comfortable. Value for money and easy to connect for the blue tooth Show details
Headphones failed after three months – The sound on these headphones is ok without being good and better than I thought for such a cheap pair of headphones. I bought them to get the Bluetooth wireless connection to use on other devices. This worked ok if the source I was listening to (e.g. a TV) was stationary. It did not work so well if the source was moving (i.e. connected to my… Read more
iPhone while walking) and would tend to disconnect. I have owned Bose noise cancelling headphones and Panasonic. The noise cancelling function in the Aldi headphones is inferior to these headphones. It dulls the noise rather than really blocking it out. The real problem with these headphones for me was that within three months the headphones would no long charge and did not work. A pity as I was hoping they might have been a cheap way of getting the Bluetooth functionality. As I was within the warranty period, ALDI were happy to refund my money but I would not buy again. For an extra hundred dollars or so it is possible to get an entry Sony noise cancelling headphone or other quality headphone. It is probably worth paying the extra money.
Can't complain – We have only used our headphones whilst travelling on 2 long flights, recently. We were both very happy that they performed as we expected. Quite comfy to wear too. The price was great. As I said, we can't complain. Show details
Toys useless – pointless for air travel or rail/bus , do some google searches there are good headphones out there with really long life batteries and great sound for a just a bit more, Aldi or Bauhn products are made to a price and never last be dollar wise and invest in something better.

HE170751 Cheap and works brilliantly – Having had Bose QC35s that were now playing up the choice of Aldi posed an initial concern. Hmmm $79 vs $300+ . At least i can return them...right. Neat package with a travel case, two prong airline adapter, micro USB cable and a 3.5mm audio cable. The headphones are bluetooth, ANC and fold well into the slim zip hardshell case. Deep grey to… Read more

The fit is good and sits overear a issue not evident in any pic or on carton. The spring fit isnt overly tight either. A comfortable fit.
Pairing using the instructions is easy. A few issues i learned: 1. ANC must be turned on and off. The headphones can have anc on when the audio etc is off. Good for sleep on a aircraft 2. Charge time is 1 to 2 hrs using micro usb. Works well my cygnett power battery 3. Why is there a audio cable,? Not all devices are bluetooth but the most important is some airlines will not allow blutooth until level flight. Makes sense. 4. Case has a small elastic pocket for the cables. Nice to keep them from rolling about 5. Audio quality is really good. As good as the bose even. 6. ANC works well on trains and in flight 7. Bluetooth cannot be used if audio cable is inserted. You use or the other eg use cable prior to takeoff or with airline adapter etc. Later remove cable and use device. Simple to use.
Do i like them...definately.
For the price, these are great! – These headphones are fantastic with noise canceling. The audio quality has plenty of depth/bass but could use a bit of an improvement in the upper sounds. They definitely ARE bluetooth but are not compatible with some older devices. The headphones work just fine with my iPad and iPhone Xs Max. Also work fine on a Dell laptop. Bluetooth range is limited. Show details
It is ok – Cheap set of wireless headphones. Sound quality is ok. Used with TV is better. When used with laptop it makes a buzzing sound in the background. The headphone turns off within a minute of inactivity which is very irritating as you have keep turning it on and adjusting the volume. Show details
