The Beyerdynamic Lagoon ANC is the company's first noise-cancelling wireless over-ear headphone, featuring a touchpad for controls and selectable levels of active noise cancellation.

The HearWiki takeAI-condensed

The Beyerdynamic Lagoon ANC offers a well-rounded wireless experience with hybrid noise cancellation, a robust battery, and support for a variety of codecs including aptX Low Latency. Its clear and solid sound presentation, combined with touch controls, makes it a capable choice for everyday listening, though its dated Bluetooth version and design quirks may give some pause.

What works

  • Strong battery life with ANC off
  • Good sound clarity and detail
  • Hybrid ANC with multiple modes
  • Supports aptX Low Latency and AAC
  • Multipoint connectivity for two devices

What doesn't

  • Bluetooth 4.2 is outdated
  • No water resistance
  • Charging takes up to three hours
  • Design elements like light guide may be polarizing

Beyerdynamic Lagoon ANC review: better than Bose 700 and Sony WH-1000XM3?

Mr. Phone8.3K viewsAug 2019

The reviewer finds the Beyerdynamic Lagoon ANC to be a strong competitor to the Sony WH-1000XM3, praising its excellent audio fidelity, particularly in treble and mid-bass, while noting that its noise cancellation is not as effective as the Sony's. The headphones are comfortable for long sessions, but have some drawbacks like a hissing sound in quiet environments, sub-bass roll-off, and sound leakage at high volumes. Overall, the reviewer considers it nearly as good as the Sony, with a slight edge in sound quality for audiophiles.
