Canyon BTHS-3 Wireless Headset review

Canyon BTHS-3 Wireless Headset review

As a seasoned gamer and tech enthusiast with a wallet that often feels lighter than a feather, I can wholeheartedly vouch for the Canyon BTHS-3 Wireless Headset. Having tested numerous budget headsets over the years, I’ve come to expect mediocrity at best. But this little gem, priced around £24.99, has managed to surprise me in a delightful way.


It’s often trickier to purchase affordable headsets compared to high-end ones due to uncertainties about quality at lower price points. While spending more usually guarantees better quality (with a few exceptions), budget options can be risky because it’s hard to tell if they offer decent value for money. These budget products often have issues like counterfeits or unnecessary features that don’t enhance performance, such as RGB lighting without any purpose. However, occasionally you’ll find an affordable headset like the Canyon BTHS-3 Wireless Headset, which meets many essential requirements at its price range.

For approximately £24.99, these items offer quite a good deal. Their design is efficient rather than flashy, which might dissuade some individuals. However, they are also light, comfortable to use, and easily collapsible for convenient carrying. I personally don’t favor light-colored headsets, but these have a sleek design that complements the lighter beige color. If you prefer black, you can opt for that version instead.

Standard 40mm speakers deliver a really nice, crisp sound, which might go a little low on the bass but won’t be all that noticeable while gaming, or watching videos or shows. There’s no companion app available though, so unlike a lot of headsets you won’t be able to adjust EQ levels beyond a few presets, which I couldn’t really notice much of a difference between. What you hear is what you get, but the cushions do provide some decent isolation despite the lack of ANC.

Since there’s no accompanying app, all the controls are located on the ear cups themselves. There are no touch-responsive elements; instead, you’ll find clickable buttons to pause, play, and adjust volume. An inline microphone is included, eliminating the need for separate folding or disconnecting components, although its quality isn’t top-notch. It doesn’t produce a tinny sound, but it does pick up a noticeable amount of background noise in crowded settings. The frequency response ranges from 20Hz to 20kHz, making them suitable for gaming, and there was no audio delay when using them.

These headphones can be linked through a traditional audio cable or Bluetooth 5.1, and their sound quality remains fairly steady in both cases. However, they tend to run out of power quite frequently, lasting approximately 15 hours on a single charge. While this is sufficient for regular use, you’ll need to recharge them often.

At their cost, Canyon BTHS-3 headphones truly offer exceptional value. Although they may not have all the features of pricier options, they excel in areas that matter, which is more than many other headphones at the same price point can claim. If you’re willing to spend a bit extra, you might choose the JLAB Studio Pro ANC, but for those on a tight budget, these headphones are definitely worth considering.
