I am going on a road trip soon and am going to be in the car for about 7-8 hours. I am looking for a pair of bluetooth over ear headphones for $20. If they could have noise cancelling as well that would be great. Also they have to be on amazon prime. Thanks a ton and have a great day!

If you want to have both Bluetooth and noise-cancelling, as far as I know, they are not going to be that cheap. Consider at least $50 for Bluetooth only and at least $150 for Bluetooth and noise-cancelling

AUDIO:

- Desktop: Sennheiser GSX 1000 --> Schiit Loki --> Mackie HM4 --> Sennheiser HD6XX, Audio-Technica ATH-M40X, Sennheiser CX 5.00, Harman Kardon Soundsticks III

- Nintendo Switch: LG 29UM68-P --> Schiit Loki --> Mackie HM4 --> Sennheiser HD6XX, Audio-Technica ATH-M40X, Sennheiser CX 5.00, Harman Kardon Soundsticks III

- Portable (Wired): LG V30+ --> Audio-Technica CKR70, Ostry KC06A

- Portable (Wireless): Samsung Galaxy S10+ --> Sennheiser PXC 550, Sony WF-1000XM3, Samsung Buds

I see hundreds of Bluetooth and Boise cancelling headphones on Amazon. I just don't know which ones are good?

I know of plenty. However, I don't know of many for $20, and I know of none that are bluetooth for $20, let alone any that are bluetooth and noise cancelling for $20.

Hey! New SIgnature! 

 

I'm supposedly a person on the Internet, but you'll never know if I'm human or not ;)

What about these? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01265MGEO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_CtFtybBEJ01CJ

My main concern is the other way around in noise cancelling. I don't want the people around me to be able to hear my music. My current pair of over ear headphones let everyone around you hear your music. You might as well use a speaker.

For your case, just look up closed-back headphones. Your current pair should be an opened-back so that's why there is no noise isolating

 

 

Btw, active noise-canceling technology uses some kind of low frequency sound waves to block unwanted noises and those headphones are expensive. Passive noise isolating only isolates sounds depending on the ear cups' materials. In your case, you want noise isolation.

Ah. My current pair of headphones are Ath-m20 audio technica over ear headphones.  They sound pretty good but are wired and falling apart. My earbuds are some $3 ones I got on eBay??? but do you have any recommendations for headphones?

This is basically an ATH-M20 replacement with better sound:

Don't let the price fool you, these things are good.

Isn't the noise canceling uses the inverted of the outside sound waves to cancel it out? Correct me if I'm wrong please!

yeah, that's right.

but not low frequency sound waves. The same exact frequency as there is outside the headphones, just 180 degree phase shift
