BERIBES Upgraded Hybrid Headphones
Score: 82/100
JBL Vibe Beam 2 with ANC
Score: 71/100Rankings
The BERIBES Upgraded Hybrid ANC headphones offer a massive 70-hour playback time and solid active noise cancellation in a foldable over-ear design. Their ANC performance falls short of premium flagship models and they lack water resistance and advanced codec support. Ideal for travelers and budget-conscious users who value battery life.
The JBL Vibe Beam 2 are true-wireless earbuds offering quick charging, IP54 resistance, and a solid 32-hour total battery life. They lack active noise cancellation and have limited codec support, which may disappoint audiophiles. Best for active users who value durability and fast charging over premium sound features.

Professional reviewers consider the BERIBES headphones a strong value proposition, offering crisp, balanced audio and an impressive 70-hour battery life at a price below premium brands. While the sound quality competes with Sony and Bose, the ANC is deemed adequate for everyday use but falls short of the industry-leading performance of top-tier models.
Everyday users praise the long battery life, lightweight comfort, and solid sound quality, noting that the headphones are comfortable for extended listening and travel. The most common criticism is that the noise cancellation, while functional, does not match the premium levels of flagship competitors, and some wish for more customization options such as an EQ app.
“Powerful bass, long battery life, comfortable fit, quick charging, and durability”
Professional reviewers consider the Vibe Beam a solid choice for sports and fitness thanks to its lightweight construction, portable case, and reliable Bluetooth 5.2/5.3 connection. While the sound is bass-forward and the battery life is impressive, critics note the absence of true ANC and limited codec support, which may deter audiophiles.
Everyday buyers consistently highlight the powerful bass, long battery life, comfortable fit, and quick-charge convenience. The most common criticisms revolve around passive noise isolation, occasional fit issues, and the desire for active noise cancellation.
