These are a rather amazing pair of headphones overall, I was fortunate enough to get them for $300 rather than $400. I’m really not fond of touch controls in general, to many opportunities for error, but these have an amended approach in the ability to modify the touch pads sensitivity in Beyerdynamic’s MIY app. I haven’t updated the firmware on these simply because I haven’t wanted to connect them to my PC and go through the update that way as they work well enough now. It seems truly bothersome that they wouldn’t have the app flushed out enough to update the firmware from your phone, but that’s just me nitpicking. The ANC on these is fine, it’s not Sony or Bose but it’s certainly good enough, especially with media playing. Outside of that their passive noise isolation is also quite impressive. From my experience with these tuning them to your own profile is an extremely good idea, these are currently my favorite pair of wireless headphones. They also seem to sound better with ANC on (level I or II). My biggest problem with these is their build quality, as they certainly don’t feel like a premium set of headphones. I feel like using more premium materials would have been a good idea, at the cost of weight. The weight of headphones is often dramatized making me wounder just how weak most people’s necks must be.
The most important qualities in headphones to me remain the same wired or wireless:
1) Sound Quality 2) Comfort 3) Build Quality. I put no stock in ANC or other gimmicks, and I suppose not being a follower in this regard is a detriment to myself as the market changes to the whims of trends with little, if any, long-term thought. These are great headphones that checked 2/3 of what I look for. They’re certainly not perfect but they're certainly worthy of appreciation.

Outstanding Active CancellingWho doesn't dream of escaping the soundtrack of everyday life? Whether it’s taking the time to relax to your favourite music, or to concentrate on the essentials without any disruption. The digital Active Noise Cancelling with hybrid technology makes this possible with two adjustable intensity levels that block out any disturbing ambient noise, and all of that without having to sacrifice an excellent sound experience. Whether you’re on a plane, at a train station or in an open-plan office, the LAGOON ANC is the ideal companion which puts your personal heaven of relaxation within reach. |
Excellent soundThe LAGOON ANC offers the best in Bluetooth transmission thanks to the latest audio codecs such as Qualcomm aptX, aptX Low Latency and AAC. Whether it's on an Android or iOS device you can look forward to exceptional sound quality. Even with the ANC deactivated or the cable plugged in, the LAGOON ANC sounds excellent. On top of that, the headphones have a battery life of up to 46 hours without ANC or 24 with it. For the clearest speech intelligibility the LAGOON ANC utilises Qualcomm cVc. Integrated voice prompts are available in both German and English. Nothing gets in the way of calling the folks back home, wherever you happen to be. |
MOSAYC Sound PersonalizationOur sense of hearing is unique and changes over the course of our lives. Like a mosaic, some pieces of the sound picture get lost or they fade. The unique MOSAYC sound personalization by Mimi Defined compensates exactly this development and adjusts itself precisely to your hearing ability. With individual sound personalization, the missing tiles of the mosaic are restored. And you can enjoy the full sound picture in all its colourful splendour. And it's really easy: Download the MIY app for Android or iOS, apply the sound profile by Mimi Defined and experience a splendid sound picture – in all its glorious detail. |
Light Guide System
Different colored lights on the inside of the headphones help you to operate them. Simply take them off for a moment and glance at the colour for the current status of the battery level and Bluetooth connection, or even to see which sides are left and right. While you wear the headphones, nobody around you will be disturbed by a flashing or lit status light. The touch pad on the right ear cup guarantees effortless operation with a simple swipe.
High-quality material and a high level of comfort
The comfortable design of the LAGOON ANC makes it the perfect companion. The circumaural cushioning made of high-quality memory foam and artificial leather is soft to the touch and follows the anatomy of the ear, making it extremely comfortable to wear. This creates a very effective over-ear seal and reduces ambient noise even without ANC. The high-quality spring steel headband sits comfortably on top of your head. Not too tight, but secure.

The best sounding NC headphones
I’ve tried them all (Bose, Sony, Sennheiser, Beats, Marshall), and these are the only ones I can listen to after getting used to my DT 1770. Yes, they are not even in the same class fidelity-wise, but the sound is even and detailed enough. And use the hearing loss compensation since they are a bit lacking on the high frequencies out of the box (in comparison to 1770).My only concern is that they talk too much. But you can (and should) turn this off in the settings.UPDATEThe build quality is bad. There were tiny cracks on the headband plastic, and they just replaced them with a new pair (after about 1.5 years). But even that new pair didn’t last very long. After about the same period, it started to crack in the same way. And also, the headband cushion fake leather started to glue off. (See the picture.)But the sound quality didn’t change. It is still better than all other ANC headphones. Including Apple AirPods Max.Thus minus one star: 5→4

Spectacular sound quality and amazing overall

They were purchased for their sound. And the sound quality is amazing, that's all there is to say. It's not bass heavy, or overly cheery. It feels neutral and "studio-like". Bass is warm and deep, yet it doesn't overpower any songs and can be enjoyed for hours. Same with the highs, very noticeable and crisp, but not piercing. The mids have a nice "open" sound to them that creates pleasant sound imaging and space.
One thing that I noticed was the speed at which the headphones are able to resolve. What I mean is, I played songs and began hearing individual note strikes on high hat/cymbals where I thought it was just one continuous sound when listening on lower quality devices. These headphones actually made the individual strikes audible instead of just a wall of noise.
A great feature that I enjoy is the ability to listen while plugged in. I do video editing work and appreciate the lower latency and (even) better quality afforded by a cable hookup. I can connect with either AUX or USB-C to listen with a wired connection for even higher quality.
I have not yet used the APP to personalize my sound as I want to fully appreciate the out-of-the-box sound before I change anything.
The touch features on the side are very easy to memorize and use. It's honestly amazing to use the touch features while walking around the city and does not feel gimmicky at all. I may have preferred analogue buttons for at-home use, but when walking around the city I much prefer the touch swipes instead of analogue.
And while the light ring system is pretty and interesting, I don't get too much use out of it. Though it is a nice little quality of life improvement, so it doesn't detract from my experience at all. I do like how it signifies the left and right headphone when picking them up. However, mostly, the lights are just pretty.
Overall, the headphones are excellent and I would 100% recommend them to someone who wants a wireless headphone that does not compromise on audio quality (and in fact delivers audio quality significantly better than its rivals), while also featuring great active noise cancellation. You are not making any compromises with these and owning them is just a good decision.

Excellent travelling headphones. No regrets buying, not much *new* competition at the price point.
