Muse Over-Ear Noise-Cancelling Headphones for Quiet All-Day Focus

Your own quiet space, wherever the day takes you

The Muse M-295 ANC Bluetooth Headphones are built for anyone who finds busy, loud environments draining. Whether you are commuting on crowded trains, working in an open-plan office, waiting in a noisy airport lounge or travelling on a long-haul flight, these headphones help you turn the world down and take back a little space for yourself. With 35dB of active noise cancelling, up to 60 hours of battery life, and a lightweight, adjustable design, they are made to support you through the everyday situations where constant noise takes a toll on your focus and energy. Pair them with your phone, tablet or laptop, switch on ANC, and the background hum of daily life fades into the distance. When you need to stay aware, ambient sound mode lets you hear announcements, conversations or traffic without removing the headphones. A detachable external microphone improves call clarity in noisy environments, and wired mode via the 3.5mm aux jack keeps them working even when the battery is flat. Available in black or white to suit your preference.

Active noise cancelling that makes a difference
35dB of ANC attenuation is enough to take the edge off the sounds that wear you down over the course of a day. It reduces the low-frequency drone of bus engines, the HVAC hum in offices, the chatter in cafés and the ambient noise on flights, without the unnatural pressure that some people find uncomfortable with very aggressive ANC. The result is not total silence, but a noticeable reduction in the cognitive load that constant background noise creates. You can focus on your work, rest during a commute, or simply feel calmer in a crowded space. When you need to let the world back in, ambient sound mode uses the external microphones to pass through environmental sound, so you can hear platform announcements, have a quick conversation or stay alert to traffic without taking the headphones off.

Battery life that covers multiple days
Up to 60 hours of playback on a single charge means you can go a week or more between charges, depending on how often you use them. For someone who commutes daily, that is five or six days of two-hour journeys without needing to think about a charger. For someone taking a long-haul flight, it is enough to cover the entire trip, the airport wait and the journey home. The 1000mAh lithium-polymer battery recharges fully in around two hours via USB-C, so you can top it up over a lunch break or overnight. Short battery life is a source of low-level anxiety; long battery life removes that friction. You can trust that the headphones will work when you reach for them.

Comfortable enough for all-day wear
At 260g, the M-295 ANC is light enough to wear for several hours without pressure points or fatigue. The adjustable headband fits different head sizes, and the over-ear design distributes weight evenly. These are not headphones you wear for a 90-minute focused session and then take off; they are headphones you wear on a four-hour flight, a full day working from a café, or a long library study session. Comfort is not a feature; it is a prerequisite. If headphones hurt after an hour, you will not wear them for three. The M-295 ANC is designed to stay comfortable over the long stretches where you need them most.

Detachable microphone for clearer calls
The built-in microphone handles calls adequately, but the detachable boom microphone improves clarity in noisy environments by positioning the mic closer to your mouth and using Environmental Noise Reduction (ENC) to filter out background sound. This is useful for anyone who takes work calls from cafés, train platforms or busy streets, or who works remotely and needs a credible headset for video calls. The microphone connects via a 3.5mm jack and detaches when not needed, so it does not get in the way the rest of the time. Compatibility depends on your device and calling software; some third-party applications may not recognise external microphone input, but the built-in mic works with all Bluetooth calling.

Wired fallback when you need it
Bluetooth is reliable, but it is not perfect. Devices run out of battery, some older equipment does not have Bluetooth, and some environments (flights, exams, certain workplaces) require or prefer a wired connection. The 3.5mm aux-in jack means the headphones remain usable even when the battery is completely flat. Plug in the included aux cable, and they work as passive, wired headphones. This extends their practical lifespan and reduces the risk of being caught out. It also means you can use them with in-flight entertainment systems, older laptops or any device with a headphone jack.

Bluetooth 5.3 with stable range
Bluetooth 5.3 provides a stable connection up to 10 metres in open space, which means you can move around a room, leave your phone on a desk or keep your device in a bag without dropouts. Pairing is straightforward: turn the headphones on, select "MUSE M-295 ANC" from your device's Bluetooth menu, and the connection is established. The headphones automatically reconnect to the most recently paired device when turned on, so you do not need to re-pair every time. On some devices, such as computers, you may need to select the headphones from the Bluetooth menu and choose "Use as Audio Device (stereo)" or similar after pairing.

Game mode for video and mobile gaming
Triple-pressing the ANC button activates game mode, which reduces audio latency for better synchronisation between sound and on-screen action. This is useful if you play mobile games on your commute or watch video content where lip-sync lag is noticeable. It is not a feature most people will use daily, but it is there when you need it, and it works without requiring an app or additional setup.

The Muse M-295 ANC Bluetooth Headphones are a practical tool for managing the noise and bustle of everyday life. With effective ANC, long battery life, comfortable all-day wear and reliable connectivity, they help you feel calmer and more focused wherever the day takes you. The M-295 ANC is available now in black or white for those who want to create their own quiet space, wherever they are.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How long does the battery last on a single charge?
A: Up to 60 hours of continuous playback at 50% volume after a full charge. Actual runtime depends on volume level and whether ANC is active. With ANC switched on, expect slightly shorter battery life than with ANC off.

Q: Can I use the headphones while they are charging?
A: No. The headphones cannot be powered on during charging. If you need to use them while the battery is low, connect the included 3.5mm aux cable and use them in wired mode, which works even when the battery is completely flat.

Q: Will the detachable microphone work with all calling apps?
A: The detachable boom microphone connects via the 3.5mm mic jack and is designed to improve call clarity. Compatibility depends on your device and the calling software. Some third-party applications may not recognise external microphone input. The built-in microphone on the headphones works with all Bluetooth calling.

Q: Does the ambient sound mode let me hear my surroundings without removing the headphones?
A: Yes. Press and hold the ANC button for 2 seconds to cycle between ANC mode, ambient sound mode and music mode (ANC off). Ambient sound mode uses the external microphones to pass through environmental noise, so you can hear platform announcements, conversations or traffic without taking the headphones off.

Q: What is game mode and how do I activate it?
A: Game mode reduces audio latency for better synchronisation between sound and on-screen action when playing mobile games or watching video. Quickly press the ANC button three times to enter game mode; you will hear a confirmation tone. Press three times again to exit. This feature is useful if you notice lip-sync lag during video playback.

Q: Can I pair the headphones with more than one device at the same time?
A: No. The headphones connect to one Bluetooth device at a time. To switch to a different device, turn the headphones off, then press and hold the power button for 5 seconds to disconnect the current pairing. Then pair with the new device following the normal pairing steps.

Q: What is the warranty period?
A: The headphones are covered by a 2-year limited warranty. Refer to the warranty documentation included in the box or contact the retailer for specific terms and conditions.
