Elephone ELE Whisper Noise Cancelling Headphones Review – One of the best Noise Cancelling functions on a budget device

Unboxing and Package Contents

The Ele Whisper Noise Cancelling Headphone comes in a green-coloured box with a translucent opening that allows you to view the product without even opening up the package.

At the front, we have the brand name Elephone boldly written and at the back, some specifications of the device can be seen.

When you open the package up, you will see the headphones, a user manual and a little charger which is used in charging the Ele Whisper when the battery is low.

Package Contents:

• Ele Whisper Headphones.
• User Manual.
• USB Charger.

Design and Appearance

The ELE Whisper Headphone comes in two colours; the black and the lake blue colour. It has a simple design that makes it look like any of the other earphones in the market. In fact, due to its simple design, you might take this $60 earphone for granted.

The earbuds are the wear-in type with an oval look, thus making them fit naturally into the human ear canal without the least discomfort to its user(s).

The headphone also sports the 3.5mm plug and has a cable length of about 1.2m, which looks quite durable and doesn’t tangle easily. At least, the softness and lightness of the earphone make it look more like one and not like a stethoscope 😀 .

Coming down to its 3.5mm plug/jack type, it has been given a gold plated design to ensure that there is a lossless audio transmission and that it fits into a lot of devices as well. The earbuds of the Elephone Ele Whisper have also been designed with an efficient filter so as to prevent it from being blocked by dust and other materials.

The Elephone ELE Whisper Noise Cancelling Headphones weighs no more than 20g, which means you can easily hang it on your neck or put it in your pockets without the feeling that you are carrying a charger or something heavier about. There is a small slider that can be used for turning ON/OFF the noise cancellation mode. Also, there is a LED light that displays the status of the headphone: red indicates charging while blue means it’s currently on.

Features and Functionality

You might be tempted to wonder what features this device possesses that would make it cost as much as $60. Don’t start wondering yet, I would tell you. Ever wondered why it is called the Elephone ELE Whisper Noise Cancelling Headphones? It is because it comes with the ability to cancel, or in other words, block out all external noise coming from outside, thereby letting you concentrate on whatever great music or content it is that you might be listening to.

This feature could easily be put off or on, thus helping you reduce the percentage of battery consumed. For example, you might be on a bus or train and may want to concentrate on an audio e-book you are listening to without the excessive chatter going all around you. All you need do is press the button appended at the place of the “Y” fork.

When testing out the Ele Whisper for the active noise cancelling feature, we headed out to a bar where we ordered a glass and sat sipping our drink amidst the incessant noise. Plugging in the Elephone ELE Whisper Noise Cancelling Headphones, we turned on the active noise cancelling feature and in a split second, we were lost in a world of our own and couldn’t hear the noise from the people around us.

Switching this mode off and returning to the normal mode, we were greeted with little sounds that penetrated through the music we were listening to and found its way to our hearing system. In essence, the active noise cancelling feature that comes with the Elephone ELE Whisper Noise Cancelling Headphones does exactly what it should do; cancel out external noise.

Battery

The ELE Whisper Noise Cancelling Headphone packs a battery capacity of no less than 24mAh. Before setting out on this review, we decided to charge up the battery of the device to a hundred percent (100%) so as to test its capabilities. The main reason why Elephone added the battery was for us to make use of the noise cancelling feature that comes with it for longer.

While testing it out, the Whisper was able to last for about 25 hours and a few minutes after a full charge while using the active noise cancellation feature. You can’t possibly exhaust more than 25 hours every day, even if you would want to do so. This essentially means you can get away with not charging the Elephone ELE Whisper Noise Cancelling Headphones on a daily basis or as much as you would want to.

Pros

• The active noise cancelling feature is a great plus, and it works perfectly.
• The battery when fully charged can take you through a whole day (25 hours precisely).
• The earbuds have been so designed to ensure comfortable use of this headphone.
• The cable of the Ele Whisper doesn’t tangle easily, thus guaranteeing a longer life span.

Cons

• We don’t know about you, but we feel $60 is quite hefty for this headphone.
• The plug type should have been L-shaped.
• It says Hi-Fi quality but we can’t sense anything “Hi-Fi”.

Conclusion

Having thus successfully made use of and reviewed this headphone, we make bold to conclude that the Elephone ELE Whisper Noise Cancelling Headphones promises to be a great device but it is not yet there; it still has a few miles to go before it becomes the headphone of the year or the decade. There are similar devices available in the market at a lesser price.

Meanwhile, if you have any 60 dollars that you might likely not need in the nearest future, and you’re an audiophile on a budget, you should purchase this headphone. At least, you would have a premium device with the active noise cancelling feature on your hands, or rather, in your ears or wherever you might want them to be.
