Treblab Focus One ANC Headphones (U5)

I replaced a set if Beats Studio 3's with the U5s. I wore the Beats to the gym about 3 days a week and they only lasted about 8 months. Loved the Beats' sound, but apparently they can't handle the sweat. Honestly, I'd never heard of the Treblab brand before. But I wanted something more moisture resistant and had a comparable sound (and at a cheaper price, if possible). I read the reviews and decided to try them. So far, I'm very pleased with the U5s. As other reviewers noted, they are very comfortable and fit easily over big ears! Better than the Beats, which were tight. The sound quality is similar, perhaps a bit less bassy than the Beats, but still powerful. I found that an add-on equalizer app can adjust all the frequencies to your tastes. I also like the noise cancellation button on the headphones. Beats controlled it through their app -- which was a bit of a hassle. The Transparency mode is a feature that I like -- also controllable on the headset. Setup and Bluetooth connectivity was a breeze. My phone recognized and paired with them easily. Finally, the price was much less expensive than the Beats. Time will tell how these hold up at the gym -- but I really like them! Honestly, I can say I'm glad I took a chance on this brand. One other point: when I tried to warranty register the Beats, i was told the serial number was not valid -- and they would not warranty or register them. It took an hour on the phone with the Apple Support team (Yes, Apple warranties Beats) before they finally said my Beats were an authentic Apple product. But they failed to register them. My experience with registering the U5s was sooo easy. Just an email with the serial number and the order number from Amazon and they were registered!! Hope this helps with your selection of headphones. There are a lot out there to choose from. Glad I purchased the U5s. I'm writing this update 6 weeks after I purchased these headphones. I've change my rating to a '1' because they have stopped working. I have been wearing them to the gym about 3 times per week. So over the past 6 weeks, I've used them less than 25 times. Last week, they simply stopped working in the middle of my workout. No big deal, I thought. Perhaps the battery needed recharging (funny that I didn't get some kind of low-battery warning, but, oh well). I charged them for several hours and the red charging lite went off -- so I assumed they were fully recharged. Went to the gym today and they shut down after about a minute. Retried to connect them and they wouldn't even turn on. When I got home, I tried to recharge them (again), but that didn't work either. So -- I contacted Amazon and they agreed to a refund even tho it was past the 30 day return window. I'm now looking for another set of headphones and they won't be Treblab or Beats. Not sure what happened, but I can't recommend these. They were great while they lasted. Perhaps they are not as sweat/water resistant as they claim. Or, maybe the battery was bad. Very disappointed in them. Final UPDATE -- 12 Weeks Later The support team from Treblab unexpectedly reached out to me this week and provided me a replacement pair of U5s! I did not ask for these -- it was their customer service team that took the initiative based on my honest review of their product. Because of that, I've changed my rating back to 5 Stars. Their support is exceptional! And I really liked the headphones -- they just didn't hold up for sweaty workouts. I've talked with others who have had similar experiences with other brands of over-the-ear headphones. The just don't seem to like the moisture. So, my advice: buy the U5's for using anywhere but at the gym. Thanks, Treblab! I'm a fan for life.

Regular usage since I bought these in August and today, in November of the same year, they snapped along the plastic hinge rendering them unusable. I got *maybe* three months usage out of these, and while I liked certain aspects of them I have literally *never* had a pair of headphones break so quickly due to completely regular usage. On top of that, I can't even tape them back to render them usable as the headband's natural tension prevents it. I have spent half the price and received more than double the value for plenty of other headsets and it is honestly a damn shame because if not for the durability then these would be some of my favorite headphones. It's just that none of that stuff matters when the headphones snap *due to regular, ordinary usage especially* after such a brief period. I did not realize I bought such apparently flimsy headphones when I bought these, but evidently they are not engineered for long-lasting quality and I would recommend against purchasing them. Again, you can find much more durable headphones with comparable features and sound for half the price. ___ *UPDATE: After posting this review I was contacted by the manufacturer who was extremely courteous and offered to send a replacement set of headphones free of charge. It was shipped and arrived within only a day or two of talking with them and was honestly pleasantly surprised by the manner in which it was handled. My old set may now rest in peace, and I've updated this review to reflect my tentative opinion of the headphones aside from the build quality aspect which I'm willing to chock up to a singularly defective product, and I'll re-update this review in a couple months if they continue to hold up by increasing my rating to five stars. Aside from the issue I experienced with the snapping hinge (which I hope these new ones do not experience) these are actually some really comfortable headphones with a consistent and strong bluetooth connection, as well as good sound quality (with the ANC being decent and the transparency mode being really helpful), as well as being water-resistant which is harder to find with decently affordable OTE options. Moreover, these are lightweight given their size and the 'power on/off' prompts are not a weird voice but instead some non-abrasive beeps which is huge to me. Also, the button shortcuts are logical and intuitive and I don't find myself automatically redialing phone numbers due to a mispress like some other sets. All that said, great pair of headphones and if I had to say anything negative beyond my questionable initial experience it is that it seems one is unable to replace the earpads with other options, but that is relatively minor given the IPX rating these have.

These are absolutely great over ear headphones! I have AirPods 4 and these are way better! For half the price if not more. I have used them on several calls and volume and hearing by the caller could not tell! Battery life is beyond great! Connectivity is so easy, meaning ease of use is easy as well. I also have a big head. I wear a hat anywhere from 7 1/4 to 7 3/8 they still fit my head and isn’t loose so my one knock would be I think I maxed out the size. Just fyi. But they work for me and are comfortable a bigger head than that might wanna ask the company. Cancels noise really well as well. As when on phone calls it’s easy to be loud. As well as having music on you won’t hear someone talking to you. I got a great deal. I have owned Beats Studio pro several air pods and Bose quiet comfort but these are the best I have owned. I saw some reviews of “water proof” I think the company meant like sweat while you are running? I could be wrong but to take them in the shower or swimming is a fools errand and common sense should prevail. Anyways for those looking for a great over ear head phone cannot go wrong! Especially for the price! Maybe it has changed? I got mine a few months ago

I wear over the ear headphones basically every waking moment, so comfort is very important to me. This set definitely fits that bill, and I can wear them comfortably for 12 hours straight or more. The battery is quite good, and even wearing them all day, every day, it takes a couple days to drain it. I'm no audiophile, but I think the sound quality is good. The dual, two device connection is also seamless. All you have to do is stop the audio on one device and start it on the other. It's that simple. There is also a large button in the center of the right earphone that switches the audio mode from Silence, Passthrough, and nothing. I use the passthrough mode frequently to make sure I can hear my wife speaking, etc., and it works quite well. With all that being said, I do have one, small complaint. There are an additional three buttons on the side of the right headphone; a volume up and a volume down, and a button in the center for answering calls/pausing media, etc. The center button is almost indistinguishable by feel from the other two, so it's hard to just reach up and use it without accidentally hitting the others first. I really wish it was located separately, slightly raised, or something similar so it'd be easier to find quickly. Overall though, they're quite good daily drivers, and I can definitely recommend them.

I love these headphones. They tend to slide on my head so I use a sweatband to just catch my sweat and to hold them in place. I use them on the treadmill when I'm weight lifting cardio or literally anything else. The sound quality is wonderful and they're very easy to clean. They have multi-function buttons on the right side so if your left handed it might be a little annoying.

Update review after getting a working headset. First was DOA. Amazon did a swap for me. TY Amazon. I like this headset. Compared to 3M worktunes, this one is much more comfortable, much better sound quality, works with the music/Spotify from my garmin watch. As far as I can tell the sound protection is comparable. I used this headset on a rowing machine for an hour. The headset stayed on. The noise protection let me play music at a lower volume than my earbuds. They did get sweaty, and there are no cleaning instructions I can find. The similar Z2 model has replaceable ear pads so you could remove them for cleaning. This unit does not. Sound is somewhat bass heavy. Highs are OK. Overall not bad, and less sensitive to placement than earbuds. --------------------------- previous review -------------------- Arrived DOA. That happens. Swapping for a new one, will update review. Leaving this review now in case it's a bad batch vs a single bad headset. Symptoms: Blue light came on solid immediately when USB-C charging cable attached. Manual says that means fully charged. No response at all to the power switch with or without the cable attached. Switch seemed good with tactile feedback, no response to holding it 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 30 seconds. No amount of fiddling got any response (no vibration, no sound, no lights). Amazon processed the replacement swap immediately (TY Amazon).

The head sets are very nice. The music plays very nice. I wear them every day. Still trying to figure out the ANC The range is very long. Battery last along time.

Amazing! Especially for the price and with the lightning deal at 46% off I could've resist. Found reviews on YouTube that sealed the deal.

By far my favorite headphones, my only problem is the cusion around the ear has started to come apart but that could be because I use them so much. Needless to say I WILL be buying another one. The sound is AMAZING, the noise canceling blocks out nearly all background noise they are so comfortable that i have even fell asleep while wearing them on more than one occasion.

Super comfortable. Ear muff material is substantial and soft. There are two basic listening modes, with and without Hybrid ANC. For podcast voice and commentary listening, non ANC is perfect. When it comes to music and movies, the Hybrid ANC provides beautiful depth and bass. In full disclosure, I am not an audiophile. I cannot tell much of a difference between these normal "reasonably" priced phones and the expensive fancy-schmancy headphones. I really love these.

Had to repair one side with super glue, and I wish the wind wasn't so loud in them when I'm walking or running outside. Otherwise great noise cancelling, comfort, and ease of use.

Was a bit iffy about ordering but man… it’s such a great product. Definitely recommend it!

Got these back in November 2025. The earpads could be a little more comfortable, but overall, they were great. I started having a problem with sound cutting out in the left ear, only once in a while at first, but over a month, it got worse. After doing all the troubleshooting, I figured it was a loose wire or a bad connection inside. It was too late to do anything through the Amazon website, but I contacted Treblab, gave them the purchase information they requested, and today I was notified they've put in the replacement order and Amazon should be delivering my new headset today. The headset quality is great, and the sound quality, even through Bluetooth, is awesome for movies, music, or gaming, and has a good range. I can listen throughout my house. The customer service is absolute perfection. A new headset replacement in less than a week. Can absolutely recommend these and the company.

Comfortable. Easy to use. These headphones fit very well, and I feel they are definitely a good value for the money. I have had them longer than any other headphones, and they are still working well. I use them for workouts and when I'm working in the yard. They are lightweight, and I almost forget they are there. I chose those black headphones, and they give a very classy look. The color is great. I highly recommend these headphones.
