Libratone Q Adapt in-ear wireless

 

Libratone's Q Adapt earphones offer active noise cancellation and decent sound quality, but you'll need an iOS device with Lightning connection to use them.

Comfortable and lightweight ; Lightning connection powers noise cancelling ; Solid sound quality

Only works with Apple devices ; Treble is a little lacking

If you’re a committed iPhone user, the Q Adapts offer solid sound quality, comfort, and noise cancellation for a reasonable price.

Libratone Q Adapt On-Ear

 

The Libratone Q Adapt On-Ear are petite noise-cancelling headphones. Typical of Libratone, they have a Scandinavian sensibility and a cute look that doesn't make them seem made for a particular gender or “type” of person.

Smart-looking noise-cancelling wireless headphones that don’t quite have the dynamism of the best.

Beautiful design ; Adjustable noise cancellation ; Excellent battery life

Finicky touchpad ; Noise cancellation hiss

Libratone Q Adapt On-Ear review

 

Libratone's first on-ear headphones are packed with great ideas...

Clean, easy-going and smooth performance ; Open presentation ; Comfortable build and design ; Good control app

Lack outright detail, dynamism and punch ; Need better timing and control ; Fiddly, unresponsive touch controls ; Rivals offer better noise-cancellation

Plenty of good ideas, but Libratone needs to refine its sound and features to compete with the best

Libratone Q Adapt On Ear review: Scandi-chic headphones that are almost great

 

Incredibly effective active noise cancellation, but the fit and erratic auto-pause facility undermine these headphones' appeal

Effective noise cancellation ; Packed with features ; Chic looks

Fit isn't great ; Auto-pause and -resume not entirely reliable

There’s much to like about Libratone’s first pair of headphones. They’re wireless, they’re noise cancelling (and good with it, too), they sound fine, and they pack in all the features you could possibly think of. In fact, the only thing missing is a...

Libratone Q-Adapt (on-ear) review

A stylish design and wireless Bluetooth technology make the Libratone Q-Adapt on-ear headphones an attractive prospect. They also have adjustable noise cancelling, so you can choose how much of the outside world you want to let in, but do they sound...

Libratone Q Adapt On-Ear

 

The attractive Libratone Q Adapt On-Ear headphones deliver above-average noise cancellation and quality Bluetooth audio at a relatively affordable price.

Strong, bass-forward, sculpted sound signature. Quality noise cancellation. App-based control.

On-ear controls are easy to accidentally press. Sculpted sound signature not for purists.

The Q Adapt On-Ear are a solid, ambitious debut in the headphone department from Libratone. The noise cancellation is better than average, the audio performance is strong, if very sculpted, and the design is attractive and comfortable. The best...

Libratone Q Adapt review: "Made for Google" wireless on-ear headphones in need of a design change

 

Our Libratone Q Adapt Wireless On-Ear Headphones review takes a look at a pair of Bluetooth headphones from one of Google's "Made for Google" partners with great sound but a slightly uncomfortable design.

Great balanced sound ; Super easy to pair with Android's Nearby service ; Responsive touch controls ; Four levels of ANC ; Decent voice/call quality ; Fantastic battery life ; Can launch Google Assistant with touch controls ; Auto-pause/resume when...

Headband is uncomfortable, especially after extended periods ; Would have preferred to see multi-use USB Type-C port ; CityMix Level 1 PassThrough doesn't work all that great ; Software is pretty basic, My Collections offers minimal access for favourites
