- House of Marley launches wireless headphones with 75-hour battery with ANC on – and 130 hours with ANC off
- Made from certified wood, recycled aluminum and "eco-conscious" fabrics
- Also new ANC earbuds with 24 hours of play time
House of Marley has unveiled new over-ear headphones with the longest battery life I've ever seen in a set of wireless headphones: 130 hours. The Positive Vibration Rebel ANC headphones achieve this with active noise cancellation off, of course, but even with noise cancelling on you're looking at 75 hours between charges, and few headphones pass 65 hours.
Oh, and because they've got quick charge support you can get four hours of music from 15 minutes on charge.
You don't need to pay cutting-edge prices for a gigantic battery – they have an official price of $149.99 / £129.99, but have an early promotion in the UK so they're just £99.99 at Amazon UK. They're also on Amazon in the US, but for their full $149 price.
As we've come to expect from House of Marley, they're made with environmental responsibility in mind. The Positive Vibration Rebel ANC headphones are built from FSC-certified wood, recycled aluminum and "eco-conscious" fabrics.
The Positive Vibration Rebel ANC headphones have Bluetooth 5.4, 40mm drivers and adaptive ANC. They're foldable for easy traveling and feature both touch controls and voice assistant integration, and they're IPX5 rated for water resistance. There's a choice of two colors: black and cream.
House of Marley stuff can be hit and miss – it's released some stone-cold bargains in the past, but also stuff that just didn't have the quality we want even if it was a good price. The battery life alone has us interested in there, but we'll have to see if they're good enough for a place in our list of the best noise cancelling headphones after a full review.
There's also a new pair of ANC earbuds, the Trenchtown ANC earbuds, pictured below. These are launching at $129.99 / £99.99, but also have a special offer in the UK – they're just £69.99 at Amazon UK.
These too have Bluetooth 5.4, ANC, touch controls and voice assistant integration, and they are rated IPX5. Battery life is six hours from the earbuds alone, rising to 24 hours via the charging case. They're made from recycled plastics and sustainable sapele wood, and like their over-ear siblings they're available in black or cream.
