Creative Zen Hybrid 2 Wireless ANC Headphones, 67 hr Battery, Cream

I love these headphones! I have only had these headphones for a couple days so far, but I've had other Creative Labs products before that still work just as good as the day I unboxed them (maybe even better with the firmware updates), and I can only assume that these will be no exception. The punchy bass combined with the clear mids and highs made me instantly love these headphones (I'm no high-level audiophile, but I still appreciate good sound quality). I can't speak too much on the battery life, but they were at 90% battery out of the box yesterday and still are today, and I used them for a few hours yesterday and an hour or so today. These are great for anything - travel (will probably last you the whole vacation on a full charge), work/study (active noise cancellation is great), and even in the gym (they didn't try to fall off my head and i didn't have to constantly readjust them while working out). Overall, the Zen Hybrid 2 are the complete package at an unbeatable price point!

Excellent quality and sound is great. Comfortable fit.

I wanted to write this review for those who are considering buying these but still have many questions about them. I've been needing a pair of headphones since my lenovo earbuds stopped working which is why I bought these. I've owned my pair for almost a year now and can say they're pretty impressive and worth the price. They are very bass heavy which I love at times, the sound quality is clear even at lower volume levels, and the battery life lasts forever no exaggeration. The sound quality is amazing, with great clarity and volume (mid volume is very loud imo). They come with a cable for charging (no adapter which isn't a problem), and an audio cable. It also has a mic which I haven't tested properly yet. This was my first time owning noise cancelling headphones so I don't have something to compare them to, but these work pretty well I assume for what they are. It dampens the sounds of things like extremely heavy rain by a fair amount, and blocks out people talking depending on the volume you're listening at, so do with that info what you will. There are three modes: anc, ambient mode and anc off. Anc and anc off both put a slight pressure on your ears and head that gets more irritating the longer you wear the headset, and may sometimes cause a headache. The cups of the headset are a sort of gel/rubber-like material (not sure what exactly they're made of) that makes you feel hot/sweaty if you wear the headphones in hot temperatures, doing physical activity, or for an extented period of time like 3+ hrs. However, you can wear glasses while wearing these as the cups are extremely soft to the touch. Sound 'leaks' from the headphones at higher volume (like around 85 or so) which is understandable. They seem durable but only time will tell. They also have rotating cups which is very neat. Also, for Bluetooth, they connect extremely quickly and can be connected to multiple devices (for me it's just two devices so far) but can't be used at the same time (obviously). To conclude, these are extremely high-quality headphones and you won't be disappointed if you purchase these. I looked at so many headphones around this price range and I found that these looked and worked the best.

Comfortable wear. Lightweight. Sound canceling. Easy connection to Bluetooth. Great for work calls and personal devices. Great color

I had been looking for a pair of bluetooth headphones for my grandson. I knew the Zen Hybrid had been well reviewed for some time, but a number of competitors had released newer headphones with longer battery life, more recent bluetooth, better ANC, etc... I then stumbled across these Zen Hybrid 2 headphones. No reviews yet but I took a chance and was not disappointed. They are extremely comfortable and sound very good. For the price, they are a great find! But, of course, there's a few things I could still wish for. The Creative mobile app is marginal at best. And I do wish these came with a case (they do not). But if those two things are not that important to you, these have to be one of the best bangs for the buck out there.

I like Creative stuff and liked the sound that this puts out. My problems were practical ones. It is wireless but when it is charging, you can't use them. The power is USB-C but there is no sound connection through that. It's just a charging port. It does have an analog port which was one of the reasons I got it, thinking that I could listen that way even when the battery was low. And you can. But not while charging. That port is disabled. And while charging you also cannot listen via the wireless option. It's difficult for me to understand this design choice. Maybe something was wrong with mine. If someone else has this headphone and you have been able to listen somehow while charging, please let me know.

Seriously, when I first gave these a try I had to go back to make sure I hadn't paid a $100 more than I was looking to spend. The bass is rich without being thumping, the mid-tones and treble are well balanced, and the ambient noise cancellation works great. My lovers can be watching TV 10 feet away and with music going all I hear is the music. With Hybruid 2 so comfortable and sturdy, there will be times I just put them on for the ANC to give myself some actual quiet time. A nice feature is the Ambient mode that allows you to hear what's going on around you, great for those times you want to vibe to the music but still need to hear when people are calling your name. Just be aware they do not charge while in use.

I liked the design, very minimalist and the sound is good, it is quick to configure and through the application we can control different audio options and update the firmware.

Sound quality was quite impressive.

Incredible headphones. So comfortable, audio is so good, price is dirt cheap and latency is just the chef’s kiss. Actually, let me talk about the latency for a second. It is so good that I am able to consistently top frag in rainbow six siege with it, in diamond lobbies. THESE ARE WIRELESS BTW. Also, last thing STOP LOOKING AT THE REVIEWS AND BUY THEM ALREADY THEY’RE INCREDIBLE

Los audífonos me encantan, pero me gustaria saber dónde puedo comprar almohadillas nuevas para estos audífonos, el sonido es envolvente y con bajos prominentes, los instrumentos balanceados, muy buena compra

I'm using Creative headphones last 20 years and they offer good quality of device and sound for good price. This model good example, for this money you will not get anything better, same quality and features from other vendors ~200$

​I bought these for my wife, because she said needed them to help her concentrate. I stopped myself from suggesting blinders instead. I get it though, her hearing isn't what it used to be, much like my knees since the blizzard of '88. ​I chose the 'Cream' color. It reminds me of the interior of a 1982 Lincoln Continental. Very classy. They sit on her desk next to the computer she uses to play Solitaire. They look magnificent there. Truly handsome. ​She hasn't actually put them on her head yet. Not once in about three months. She says she's "saving them for a special occasion," which usually means she's waiting for me to forget about them so she doesn't have to explain why she isn't wearing them. But she hasn't complained! In 45 years of marriage, silence is the highest form of praise I can hope for. ​I read on the box about the "Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation." I believe it works wirelessly, because even sitting untouched on the desk, they seem to block out my requests for tea. ​My grandson says I need to download an app to "pair" them. I don't need an app to pair them. I need an app to remind me to go in there and dust them off every Tuesday. They collect dust beautifully.
