These TaoTronics Bluetooth Headphones Are Great For Those With Tiny Baby Ears

Ever since I got the new True Wireless TT-BH053 earbuds from TaoTronics, my life has changed for the better. I was never going to be one to shell out $200 for AirPods, so the TT-BH053s were my entrée into the earbud modus vivendi that so many of my peers shave embraced. For just $45, I am now always immersed in a world literally inside my own head. It is phenomenal. I can’t believe I used to be subjected to everyday noises I’d rather not bother with.

Since the TT-BH053s were such a game changer for my existence, I decided to give TaoTronics another go with their wireless active noise cancellation headphones, the TT-BH060s. (Why they are called BH060 is a mystery to me; these have been on the market for longer than the BH053s. Maybe TaoTronics is counting backwards?)

Long story short, I like the TT-BH060s. They last a long time, boasting 30 hours of Bluetooth playtime on a full charge. (I found that to be pretty accurate.) Even more impressive is the new hyper speed charge; just 5 minutes of charging will give them another 2 hours of battery life. If anything, this turned out to be an undersell. After 5 minutes of charging, I was able to wirelessly use the headphones for the remainder of the day.

Conveniently, if for some reason you do run out of battery life and do not happen to be proximate to potential charging source, you can still use the TT-BH060 via the 3.5mm audio cable. You won’t be able to use the ANC technology without juice though, so that’s a real bummer.

How is the active noise cancellation technology, you ask? It’s perfectly cromulent. It isn’t going to drown out any nearby conversations, but neither are any but the most expensive noise canceling headphones out there. There is currently construction going on outside my office building, and the TT-BH060s does a fair to good job at removing that noise from my consciousness. For $70, I am impressed. You can definitely tell the difference when you toggle the noise cancellation switch on and off.

So I like the battery life, I like the noise cancellation, I like the price. What don’t I like about the TT-BH060s? Well unfortunately they are not very comfortable. This is surprising coming from TaoTronics, whose TT-BH053s are like pillows for the inside of your ears. Perhaps I am alone in experiencing this issue due to my big ole elephant ears. But it does make things difficult, considering how much time I spend wearing headphones in a given day.

Verdict: I recommend the TT-BH060s to everyone but Alfred E. Newman.
