How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a wired, no-battery headset for desk work, calls and PC gaming, choose Voistek Over Ear Headphones; if you need wireless earbuds with adaptive noise cancellation and built-in two-way translation for travel, choose JKNKCO MS106. These two products barely compete for the same buyer — one is a corded over-ear headset, the other is a pair of Bluetooth earbuds with a translator app. The real question is which job you're shopping for.
• Voistek biggest strength: A wired 3.5mm over-ear headset with 50mm dynamic drivers, an inline volume and mic-mute control, and an adaptive headband — plug it in and it works, with nothing to charge.
• Voistek biggest trade-off: No Bluetooth and no battery, so it's tethered to your device by cable, and its USB plug only powers the RGB lighting rather than carrying audio.
• JKNKCO MS106 biggest strength: Adaptive ANC, Bluetooth 6.0 and up to 55 hours of total playtime in a pocket-sized charging case, plus online two-way translation across 165 languages.
• JKNKCO MS106 biggest trade-off: Translation needs the SayMi app and a live WiFi or cellular connection — no offline mode — and the earbuds are in-ear, not over-ear.
• Who Voistek is for: Anyone at a desk or in a classroom who wants one cable, zero charging and a full-size over-ear fit.
• Who JKNKCO MS106 is for: Commuters, travelers and students who want noise cancellation, long wireless battery and translation help in a pocket.
The Voistek is a classic wired computer headset, and it leans into that role hard. The 3.5mm jack gives you universal plug-and-play with smartphones, tablets and laptops, and Voistek includes a 3.5mm audio/microphone splitter adapter in the box — worth noting, because plenty of desktop PCs still split mic and headphone into two separate ports. The 50mm dynamic drivers, 32-ohm impedance and 20Hz–20KHz frequency range are the kind of specs that suit speech, video and games rather than critical music listening. An enhanced HD microphone with reduced background noise is aimed squarely at remote work, online classes and voice chats.
Comfort is the other half of the pitch. Voistek uses oversized, deeply cushioned ear pads in soft protein leather, and the headband adapts to your head shape automatically instead of needing manual adjustment. The frame mixes ABS, polycarbonate, leather and metal, and it's built lightweight for daily use and transport — though there's no folding mechanism, so it travels flat-ish rather than compact. Controls live on the cable: inline volume and a mic mute button, so you never have to reach for your device mid-call. The earpieces are oval and over-ear, which is what you want if you dislike pressure on your ears over a long session.
Buy it if you work or study at a fixed desk, take a lot of voice calls, or want a gaming headset you never have to remember to charge. Skip it if you need wireless freedom, active noise cancellation for a noisy commute, or a headset for phone calls away from your desk. One honest limitation to plan around: the USB plug is only for powering the RGB lights, so don't expect it to carry audio or charge anything. Voistek backs the headset with a 2-year warranty.
The MS106 is a very different animal: true wireless in-ear buds aimed at people who are moving. Adaptive active noise cancellation is tuned to suppress street chatter, subway hum and general ambient noise, which is exactly the environment the product is designed around. Bluetooth 6.0 brings one-step pairing, low-latency streaming and a claimed rock-solid anti-drop connection over a 10-meter range — enough to leave your phone in a bag while you walk around it.
Battery is the headline number. JKNKCO rates the set at up to 55 hours of total playback with the charging case, and each single full charge of the buds gives 7–8 hours of continuous use. Type-C fast charging tops them up through a slim, pocket-sized case that JKNKCO intends for backpacks, handbags and jacket pockets. IPX5 dust, sweat and water resistance covers light workouts, unexpected drizzle and splashes. The buds weigh 80 grams as a set with the case, are made from ABS and silicone, and ship with four extra silicone eartips so you can dial in the fit — important, since in-ear seal drives both comfort and how well ANC works.
Then there's the feature that makes the MS106 unusual: two-way online translation across 165 languages with multiple translation modes, built through the SayMi app. No subscription is required for the basic online translation function. But read the fine print before you buy for this reason alone. Translation requires the app plus a stable WiFi or cellular connection, offline translation is not supported, and JKNKCO itself frames it as suitable for daily casual communication rather than professional high-precision work. Performance can vary by language, network and environment.
Side-by-Side: Which Should You Choose?
• Best for PC and desktop use → Voistek Over Ear Headphones. The 3.5mm jack plus the included mic/audio splitter adapter is built for computers; the MS106 has no jack at all.
• Best for battery life and wireless freedom → JKNKCO MS106. Up to 55 hours total with the case and 7–8 hours per charge, versus a headset that draws power from the cable.
• Best for calls and meetings → Voistek Over Ear Headphones. Inline mic mute and volume sit on the cable, and the HD mic targets voice chats and remote work directly.
• Best for commuting and noisy environments → JKNKCO MS106. Adaptive ANC is the whole point of the design; the Voistek relies on passive sound isolation only.
• Best for travel and packing → JKNKCO MS106. A slim charging case beats a non-folding over-ear headset in a carry-on.
• Best for translation and cross-language chat → JKNKCO MS106. 165 online languages through the SayMi app, keeping in mind the network requirement.
• Best for long-session comfort → Voistek Over Ear Headphones. Over-ear protein-leather pads and an adaptive headband avoid the in-ear pressure buds can create over hours.
• Best for light workouts and weather → JKNKCO MS106. IPX5 sweat and splash resistance versus no water rating on the Voistek.
My Verdict
No. It's a wired headset with a 3.5mm jack, and it includes a 3.5mm audio/microphone splitter adapter for devices with separate ports. The USB plug is only for powering the RGB lights, not for audio or charging.
No. Offline translation is not supported. You need the SayMi app installed, your phone connected, and a stable WiFi or cellular network, and JKNKCO describes it as suitable for daily casual communication rather than professional high-precision translation.
Only over Bluetooth, and only if your PC supports Bluetooth audio. It has no headphone jack and no bundled low-latency transmitter, so for competitive PC gaming the wired Voistek with its 3.5mm connection is the safer fit.
The Voistek, in my opinion. Its over-ear pads and adaptive headband are designed for extended wear, and the inline mic mute plus volume control make call management easier than touch controls. The MS106's HD mic handles calls well, but in-ear buds get tiring over very long sessions.
