Rank #8 in Best Noise Cancelling Headphones: 9 Ranked, Where the Battery Numbers Fail
TAGRY A18 Hybrid ANC Bluetooth Headphones
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The TAGRY A18 is an over-ear Bluetooth headphone with hybrid active noise cancelling, a 6-mic ENC array and a listed 120-hour battery life. It sits at number eight in this guide at £99.99, with a 4.6 rating from 63 reviews at the time of writing.
The finding on this fiche is a rare one on this page: the 120H figure holds up. The title says 120H, the second bullet says 'Up to 120H Playtime', and the specification field lists Battery Average Life as 120 Hours. The same listing gives a Battery Charge Time of 1.2 Hours, so charging is not being passed off as listening time. That is the opposite of the £28.04 pair at the top of this page, whose title advertises 120H while its own bullet promises up to 60 hours. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing, not from our own testing.
How those 63 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.6 stars.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
“I'm genuinely impressed with these headphones. The sound quality is excellent, with clear vocals, deep bass and a really balanced audio experience whether I'm listening to music, watching films or taking calls. The active noise cancelling works brilliantly, especially on public transport and in busy places, while the transparency mode is handy when I need to stay aware of what's going on around me.They're also very comfortable to wear for long periods thanks to the soft memory foam ear cushions, and they don't feel heavy at all. The battery life is outstanding I've been using them for days without needing to recharge, which is a huge plus.Pairing was quick and straightforward, and the Bluetooth connection has been stable throughout. Call quality is clear too, with the microphones doing a great job of reducing background noise.For the price, these headphones offer fantastic value and perform far better than I expected. I'd happily recommend them to anyone looking for comfortable, high quality wireless headphones.”
