How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a flexible, travel-friendly headset that plays from Bluetooth, a 3.5 mm cable, or even a memory card, choose Gabba Goods Over Ear; if you need active noise cancellation, a much wider frequency range, and marathon battery life, choose Wentronic Y01.
Both are pink, both are over-ear, both run Bluetooth 5.3 and both include a 3.5 mm cord for wired listening. That's where the similarities stop. The Gabba Goods set leans on passive sound isolation, a micro SD slot and touch controls. The Wentronic Y01 leans on active noise cancellation, a 20 Hz–40 kHz range and a claimed 48-hour battery. Different tools for different jobs.
• Gabba Goods Over Ear — biggest strength: three ways to listen (Bluetooth, 3.5 mm AUX cable, built-in micro SD card) plus a foldable frame and cushioned artificial-leather earpads.
• Gabba Goods Over Ear — biggest trade-off: noise control is sound isolation only, so it quiets your surroundings passively rather than cancelling them electronically.
• Wentronic Y01 — biggest strength: true active noise cancellation backed by a 48-hour average battery life and a 2-hour charge time, with Hi-Res-rated 20 Hz–40 kHz audio.
• Wentronic Y01 — biggest trade-off: it's a button-driven, single-purpose listening headset — no micro SD slot, and the controls are push-button rather than touch.
• Who each pick is for: Gabba Goods for the traveler or desk user who wants offline playback and touch controls; Wentronic Y01 for the commuter or long-haul flyer who wants silence and fewer charges.
The Gabba Goods Over Ear is the more versatile of the two on paper. Its real trick is the built-in micro SD card support: you can load music, audiobooks or podcasts onto a card and listen without pairing a phone at all. Add the included 3.5 mm AUX cable and you get three separate playback paths — wireless, wired, and card-based. That's genuinely useful on a plane with no Wi-Fi, on a train with patchy signal, or anywhere you'd rather not drain your phone battery.
The audio side is built around a 40 mm dynamic driver with a 20 Hz–20,000 Hz frequency range and 35 ohm impedance, which is the standard range you'd expect for everyday listening — it covers the audible spectrum without stretching into the high-resolution territory the Wentronic claims. Noise control here is listed as sound isolation, meaning the cushioned artificial-leather earpads physically block some surrounding noise rather than cancelling it with electronics. On a busy street or a loud office, that's a meaningful difference from active cancellation.
Controls are touch-based, which some people love and some people hate — no buttons to hunt for, but also nothing to feel for in a pocket. Bluetooth 5.3 with a 10-meter range is current and fine for phone, tablet, laptop, PC or TV. The frame folds, weight is listed at 0.33 kg, and the set ships with a hard-shell or nylon-style carry case, so it's clearly designed to travel. You get a 1-year warranty.
Wentronic Y01: Who It's For
The Wentronic Y01 is the headset built around one idea: quiet, for a long time. Its noise control is listed as active noise cancellation, which means it uses electronics to reduce constant low-frequency sound — engine drone, air conditioning, road hum — rather than relying on the earpads alone. If your main frustration with headphones is that you can still hear the world, this is the design that addresses it directly.
Then there's the battery. The sheet lists a 48-hour average life with a 2-hour charge time. Even if real-world results land below the spec, a 2-hour top-up for that kind of runtime is a strong ratio, and it means charging becomes a weekly chore instead of a daily one. For commuters, students and frequent flyers, that single number often decides the purchase.
The audio hardware is a 40 mm dynamic driver — same driver size as the Gabba Goods — but the frequency range is listed at 20 Hz–40 kHz, double the upper reach, and the product is described as Hi-Res Audio. Whether you can hear the difference depends on your ears, your files and your source device, but on paper it's the wider-range driver. The earpads are leather, the fit is over-ear with an oval earpiece shape, and the frame is foldable.
What you give up is flexibility. There's no micro SD slot. Controls are push-button rather than touch. The included accessories are the 3.5 mm audio cord, a charging cable, a user manual and the headphones themselves. You do get Bluetooth 5.3, wired mode support, hands-free calling and multi-device connection, plus a 1-year warranty.
Buy it if silence and stamina matter most to you, you want active cancellation, and you'll mostly listen from a phone, tablet or PC. Skip it if you want to play music straight from a memory card, you prefer touch controls, or you want the widest possible connection options.
• Best for active noise cancellation → Wentronic Y01. It's the only one of the two with electronic ANC; the Gabba Goods uses passive sound isolation.
• Best for battery life → Wentronic Y01. 48 hours average life on a 2-hour charge is the only battery figure on either sheet.
• Best for playback flexibility → Gabba Goods Over Ear. Bluetooth, 3.5 mm wired and micro SD card give you three ways to listen.
• Best for high-resolution audio → Wentronic Y01. Its 20 Hz–40 kHz range is twice as wide up top as the Gabba Goods' 20 Hz–20,000 Hz.
• Best for touch controls → Gabba Goods Over Ear. Its control method is touch; the Wentronic is push-button.
• Best for travel with no phone → Gabba Goods Over Ear. Load a micro SD card and you're set without pairing anything.
• Best for long-haul flights and open-plan offices → Wentronic Y01. Active cancellation plus multi-device pairing fits the commuter routine.
• Best for kids, teens and shared household use → Gabba Goods Over Ear. Its sheet explicitly lists unisex kids, teens and adults, and the foldable frame plus carry case make it easy to pack.
If I had to pick one, I'd buy the Wentronic Y01. Active noise cancellation and a 48-hour battery are the two things that change how a headset feels day to day, and the wider 20 Hz–40 kHz range is a bonus on top. In my opinion, that combination wins for commuting, studying and flying — the situations where most people actually wear over-ear headphones.
That said, I'd point anyone who wants offline playback, touch controls and a wired-or-wireless-or-card setup straight at the Gabba Goods Over Ear. It's the more adaptable device, just not the quieter one. Check the current price on Amazon for both before you commit — that's the one number this comparison can't give you.
FAQ
No. The sheet lists the noise control as sound isolation, which means the cushioned artificial-leather earpads block some surrounding sound physically. It reduces what you hear around you, but it is not electronic active noise cancellation like the Wentronic Y01.
The Wentronic Y01 is the only one of the two with a published battery figure: an average of 48 hours of playback on a 2-hour charge. The Gabba Goods sheet doesn't list a playtime, so there's no honest comparison to make there.
Yes, both. Each has a 3.5 mm jack and each ships with a 3.5 mm audio cable, so you can go wired when the battery is low or when you want a lag-free connection. The Gabba Goods goes one step further with its built-in micro SD card support for fully offline listening.
