Czechs praise them, and now they are four hundred crowns cheaper. Alza's headphones feature ANC, gaming mode, and decent sound

These headphones are a textbook example of how a promotional price changes the entire verdict. For the full 999 Kč, it would only be an average offer, but with code 2026ALZAEXTRA40, they drop to 599 Kč — and at that price point, they suddenly have almost no competition. Before ordering, check the current availability in detail on Alza, as their promotional price comes and goes.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you want cheap, lightweight, and good-sounding headphones for travel, work, exercise, or as a backup pair.
⚠️ Consider that ANC is rather weak, there’s no mobile app or case charge indicator, and you can’t adjust the volume on the headphones.
💡 For 599 Kč, it’s a price/performance ratio that’s hard to beat — at full price, the rating would be stricter.

Why they make sense on sale

Let’s be frank: with AlzaPower Boost PRO ANC, everything hinges on the price. Almost every positive review on Alza starts with “bought on sale” and only then with praise — and that’s no coincidence. For 599 Kč, you get headphones that play decently, stay in your ears, and last a long time, which is exactly what one wants at this level. Don’t expect miracles comparable to AirPods, but as a pair for public transport, podcasts, or the workshop, they’ll do a job you don’t have to be ashamed of.

Key parameters explained simply

The headphones are based on 10mm neodymium drivers, which deliver a full, distinctly bassy sound — many owners even describe it as too bass-heavy, so if you love clear highs, keep that in mind. Connectivity is handled by Bluetooth 5.3 with AAC codec support and a gaming mode, which you switch to by pressing the left earbud, thus reducing latency almost to zero (ideal for mobile games). Each earbud weighs only 4.53 g, so you practically don’t feel them in your ear, and IPX5 rating means they will survive sweat and rain.

Battery life is one of the real strong points: 7.5 hours on a single charge and another 22.5 hours in the case, totaling 30 hours. The catch, which almost every second reviewer points out, is the missing case charge indicator — you often only find out it’s dead when you need the headphones. Additionally, there’s no app for sound tuning, and you only control the volume on your phone, not on the headphones. Minor details, but annoying.

What users say and what to watch out for

With 284 ratings and a score of 4.6, these are among the best-rated cheap headphones on Alza, recommended by 89% of buyers, and the return rate is low (2.43%). The vast majority praise the same things: the sound for the price, battery life, comfortable wear, and quick pairing. One reviewer summarized it as a “hidden gem” and admitted that the noise cancellation for the price blew him away.

But let’s also be honest about what’s repeated on the other side. ANC is a gamble on weaker performance — some people write that it cancels out calls and some metro noise, but it’s not enough for wind or heavy traffic, and a few owners barely notice the difference between on/off. The second repeated complaint is unreliable touch control, which sometimes doesn’t respond or responds with a delay. And there have been several reviews where one earbud stopped working after a few months — fortunately, AlzaPower resolves defects by exchanging for a new unit at a branch.

When it doesn’t make sense

If you’re looking for headphones as your main pair for demanding music listening and want strong, truly effective noise cancellation for an airplane or a busy office, these will disappoint you — pay extra for a higher class. Similarly, if you want to tune the sound via an app and control everything from the headphones, you’ll get more elsewhere. But as a cheap, durable pair for travel, sports, and a backup, where you’re not afraid of losing or scratching them, they make huge sense for 599 Kč.

Verdict: who it’s worth it for

AlzaPower Boost PRO ANC are not top-tier headphones, nor do they pretend to be — they are honest earbuds that perform above their price when on sale. For 599 Kč with code 2026ALZAEXTRA40, you get decent sound, excellent battery life, and comfort, in exchange for weaker ANC and a few missing features. For anyone who doesn’t want to spend thousands and is looking for a reliable pair for everyday wear, this is one of the most sensible purchases on the market. However, their promotional price is not permanent, so if they caught your eye, don’t hesitate too long.

Would you bet on these cheap headphones with long battery life, or would you rather pay extra for stronger ANC?
