Muse Retro Tone Bluetooth Headphones, 35dB ANC and 66-Hour Battery

Your own quiet space, wherever the day takes you

The Muse Bluetooth Headphones with 35dB ANC and 66-Hour Battery are built for people who find crowded, noisy environments draining. If constant background noise from commutes, open-plan offices, flights or busy public spaces leaves you tired by the end of the day, these headphones give you a way to turn the world down and take back a little space for yourself. The 35dB active noise cancellation reduces the constant hum of engines, air conditioning, traffic and office chatter that takes a toll over hours of exposure. Transparent mode lets you stay aware of your surroundings when you need to, announcements on the platform, a colleague asking a question, the barista calling your order, without having to remove the headphones. Normal mode (ANC off) conserves battery when the environment is already quiet. The 66-hour battery life means you can use these headphones daily, often for hours at a stretch, without thinking about charging every night. A full day's commute, a full working day, a long-haul flight, the headphones keep going. The 2-hour charge time means you can top up overnight or during a work session and be ready for the next day. Comfort over long wear is non-negotiable. The adjustable headband and padded ear cups mean the headphones don't become a source of discomfort themselves after a few hours. The 240g weight is light enough not to cause neck strain during extended use. Bluetooth 5.4 provides stable, low-latency wireless connectivity across your devices, phone, laptop, tablet, without the tangle of cables. The 3.5mm aux input is the fallback for when the battery does run low, or when you're on a flight and want to plug into the in-flight entertainment without draining the battery. The integrated microphone and hands-free function mean you can take calls without removing the headphones or fumbling for your phone, useful when working from home, on a video call in a café, or taking a call while walking. The discreet design means the headphones don't draw attention in professional or public settings. The carrying case protects the headphones in a bag or backpack, which matters to someone who carries them daily. The USB-C charging cable is the same standard as most of your other devices, so you don't need to carry a separate charger.

Effective noise cancelling for real-world environments

The 35dB ANC effect is a measurable reduction that makes a noticeable difference in real-world noisy environments. Cheaper headphones often claim ANC but deliver minimal noise reduction, typically 10 to 15dB. This product's 35dB reduction is what changes the experience from 'slightly quieter' to 'I can actually focus'. On a crowded train, the engine noise and passenger chatter fade. In an open-plan office, the keyboard clatter and phone conversations around you drop away. On a long-haul flight, the engine roar is reduced to a low hum. You arrive at work, or at your destination, less drained. The transparent mode is what makes these headphones usable in situations where you need to stay aware. You can hear announcements on the platform, a colleague approaching your desk, or traffic when walking, without having to pause and remove the headphones. This is a feature typically found on mid-range and premium models, not budget ANC headphones, and it's what makes the headphones practical for daily use rather than just for flights.

Battery life that matches daily use

The 66-hour battery life is more than double what budget ANC headphones typically offer, which is usually 20 to 30 hours. This changes the charging routine from 'every couple of days' to 'once a week or less'. A full working week of daily commutes, a weekend trip, a long international flight, the headphones keep going. You don't have to think about charging every night. The 2-hour charge time means you can top up at your desk during the working day or charge overnight before a trip. The 500mAh battery is recharged via USB-C, the same standard as most of your other devices, so you don't need to carry a separate charger. When the battery does run low, the 3.5mm aux input means you can plug in and keep listening. The headphones function as a passive wired headphone with no battery required, though ANC and volume controls remain inactive in wired mode.

Comfort and control for extended wear

The adjustable headband and padded ear cups are designed for extended wear. The headphones don't become a source of discomfort themselves after a few hours. The 240g weight is light enough not to cause neck strain during a full day at the office, a long study session, or an overnight flight. The Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity keeps your audio uninterrupted as you move around a room or step away from your device. The integrated microphone and hands-free function allow you to answer, speak and end calls with a single button press while keeping your hands free, useful when working from home, answering a family call on the train, or joining a video meeting from a quiet corner. The discreet design blends into professional and public settings. No RGB, no aggressive branding, no 'look at me' aesthetic. The headphones do their job without drawing attention.

Wired fallback and daily carry

The 3.5mm aux input ensures you can keep listening even if you forget to charge or need to connect to an in-flight entertainment system. Plug in the included cable and the headphones work as a passive wired headphone. The carrying case protects the headphones in a bag or backpack, which matters to someone who carries them daily. The case is included in the box, not sold separately, so you don't have to buy one or risk damage in your bag. The USB-C charging cable is also included, and it's the same standard as most of your other devices, so you don't need to carry a separate charger. The headphones are designed to fit into your daily routine without becoming another thing to worry about. They just work, day after day.

The Muse Bluetooth Headphones with 35dB ANC and 66-Hour Battery are a practical tool for managing your sensory environment.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How long does the battery last on a single charge?
A: Up to 66 hours of continuous music playback. Real-world runtime depends on volume level and whether ANC is active, but most users get a full working week of daily commutes between charges.

Q: Can I still use the headphones if the battery runs flat?
A: Yes. Plug in the included 3.5mm aux cable and the headphones work as a passive wired headphone. You won't have ANC or volume controls in wired mode, but you can keep listening.

Q: Does ANC work during phone calls?
A: No. The ANC function switches off automatically when you answer a call, so you can hear the other person clearly. It reactivates when the call ends.

Q: What's the difference between ANC mode and Transparent mode?
A: ANC mode reduces background noise by up to 35dB, useful on trains, planes or in busy offices. Transparent mode lets ambient sound through so you stay aware of announcements, conversations or traffic without removing the headphones. Normal mode (ANC off) conserves battery when you're in a quiet environment.

Q: How do I switch between ANC, Transparent and Normal modes?
A: Press and hold the play/pause button for 2 seconds. You'll hear a different voice prompt for each mode. Cycle through the three modes by repeating the long press.

Q: Will these work with my iPhone / Android phone / laptop?
A: Yes. Any device with Bluetooth 5.0 or later will pair without issue. The headphones also work with older Bluetooth versions, though range and battery efficiency may be slightly reduced. For devices without Bluetooth, use the 3.5mm aux cable.
