Passive isolation is only fair, as with most on-ear sets. On a few occasions, I wore the House of Marley Positive Vibration 2 Wireless on the London Underground. They struggled with the noise level. Wind noise – is almost not a problem. In a really windy situation, you will hear some of it but in normal amounts. The House of Marley Positive Vibration 2 Wireless are a conventional pair of wireless headphones. They use Bluetooth, but don’t have the higher-quality aptX streaming standard or active noise cancellation. At this price, it would be surprising if they did. Even so, you will still hear people talking to you if you pause the music, which is a good thing. And if you go to a noisy place, don’t expect to drown it all out, these aren’t noise-cancelling headphones.

Still, the bass isn’t super powerful, like with Beats headphones, for example, it’s more subdued but a keen ear will hear a slight emphasis. It has a nice punch and even some rumble. The best part is these headphones are made from sustainable materials like FSC certified wood, recyclable aluminium and their own Rewind fabric which is crafted from organic cotton, recycled plastics and reclaimed hemp. When compared with a category leader like the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700, it’s clear that House of Marley's headphones add a little bit of high-frequency hiss to mix—it’s a common aspect of budget-friendly ANC, and tends to help mask frequencies the circuitry can’t quite eliminate. In addition to the added hiss, the ANC is less effective across the frequency range than the Bose model, which isn't surprising, considering these headphones cost less than half the price.
