Feel every frequency. Hear nothing you don't want to.
The Forcell F-Audio Vibe is a wireless over-ear headphone built around two core principles: powerful, immersive sound and effective Active Noise Cancellation. Where the Sound Craft is tuned for balanced, accurate audio, the Vibe is tuned for impact—a sound profile that prioritizes energy, depth, and the visceral quality of music that makes you feel it as much as you hear it.
The Vibe's ANC system creates a quiet acoustic environment that lets the headphones' drivers perform at their best—removing the background noise that forces volume compensation and delivering your music with the full dynamic range the artist intended. The result is a listening experience that feels genuinely immersive rather than merely adequate.

Sound Designed for Impact
The Vibe's driver is tuned for a sound signature that brings energy and presence to music—extended bass response with physical depth, forward midrange that keeps vocals engaging, and highs that add detail without harshness. This tuning suits music that is meant to be felt: electronic, hip-hop, R&B, pop, and soundtrack listening all benefit from the Vibe's energetic profile.
For users who find flat, analytical audio profiles unexciting and want a headphone that makes music engaging and dynamic, the Vibe delivers exactly that character.
ANC That Works Where It Matters
The Vibe's Active Noise Cancellation focuses on the frequencies where background noise is most fatiguing—the low-frequency rumble of transport, the persistent hum of offices and buildings, and the drone of ambient environments that accumulates into listening fatigue over extended sessions.
By removing these frequencies before they reach the ear, ANC allows the Vibe's drivers to produce their full sound profile at lower volumes—extending listening endurance and protecting hearing over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
They both feature ANC technology over-ear Bluetooth headphones, but the tuning of the headphones varies to suit the preferences of the listeners. The Sound Craft is tuned for balanced, accurate audio — natural representation of instruments and voices across the full frequency range, suited to a wide variety of content, including podcasts, audiobooks, classical, and acoustic music. The Vibe is tuned for an energetic, impactful sound signature—enhanced bass presence and forward dynamics that make electronic, hip-hop, pop, and high-energy music feel physically engaging. The Vibe also has a longer battery life of up to 30 hours. If you want accurate, neutral audio, choose the Soundcraft. If you want immersive, energetic audio—choose the Vibe.
Improved bass tuning implies that the lower end receives extra attention by the headphones' driver, and sounds from that frequency become more powerful and pronounced compared to a flat reference model. However, it does not imply suppression of any other frequency range; it only implies that the Sound Craft can deliver enough midrange for vocals to be clear and enough treble for details to be present without distortion. The tonal balance becomes lively and dynamic, but not muddy. It becomes useful for tracks created specifically to be both listened to and felt, whereas audiobooks and acoustic music require accuracy, which the balanced Sound Craft offers better.
The 30-hour battery rating reflects listening with ANC enabled — the real-world operating mode. For context, 30 hours covers 15 days of two-hour daily commuting use on a single charge, or a full multi-city trip involving several long flights. The USB-C charging means the case tops up from any modern charger. For buyers who prioritize not having to think about battery life, the Vibe's 30 hours provides genuine headroom beyond what most daily usage patterns demand.
Yes. The Vibe utilizes memory foam cushioning within the ear cups, a technology that molds itself based on body temperature and pressure to perfectly fit the contours of your ear and head for a comfortable fit. The memory foam ear cushion is much more comfortable than regular foam and synthetic leather cushions when used for two-hour-long or even longer listening sessions.
Yes, with some qualification. Bluetooth audio introduces a small amount of latency — the delay between on-screen action and audio output — that is more noticeable in gaming than in music or video listening. For casual mobile gaming and single-player games where audio sync is not critical, the Vibe performs comfortably. For competitive gaming where precise audio timing matters—first-person shooters, rhythm games—a wired connection using the included 3.5mm cable reduces latency significantly and is the recommended mode for gaming use.
The Vibe uses physical buttons on the ear cup rather than touch controls, which provides tactile feedback that makes operation possible without looking at the headphone. The controls typically include a multifunction button for play, pause, and call management; volume up and down buttons; and an ANC toggle button. Physical buttons are preferable to touch controls in cold weather or when wearing gloves and for users who find touch surfaces prone to accidental activation.
The performance of audio transmitted via Bluetooth depends on the audio codecs that are available with the device. Vibe supports SBC and AAC as default codecs. AAC delivers good quality over iPhones, whereas SBC is the universal Bluetooth audio codec for the Android platform. Check the specifications of the current product and see if the support for aptX and LDAC audio codecs is available in order to enjoy wireless high-fidelity audio. For most listeners in everyday environments, the difference between codec tiers is subtle rather than dramatic.
Yes. The built-in microphone handles calls in commuting environments — inside a train, bus, or car — effectively. ANC reduces what you hear from your surroundings, and the microphone's noise rejection system reduces what the caller hears from your surroundings. For calls in very loud environments—a crowded train platform or busy street—some background noise may be audible on the caller's end, which is consistent with how over-ear headphone microphones perform in the category.
Yes. The folding mechanism allows the Vibe to be compactly folded and stored. The folded profile fits into a bag or backpack without the bulk of a fixed-frame headphone. A carry case is included to protect the headphones during transit and storage. The folding mechanism is reinforced for repeated daily use.
Aircraft cabin noise—the persistent low-frequency roar of engines transmitted through the fuselage—is one of the environments where ANC headphones are most effective and where the performance difference between budget and premium ANC is most noticeable. The Vibe's ANC reduces aircraft cabin noise meaningfully, making long flights considerably less fatiguing. For premium trans-Atlantic noise cancellation performance, the Sony WH-1000XM5 and Bose QC45 remain the class leaders. For travelers who want a significant improvement over no ANC at a much lower price point, the Vibe delivers practical and noticeable cabin noise reduction.
Check the current product specification at fone4u.ie for confirmation of a dedicated Transparency or Ambient Mode on the Vibe. This feature uses the external microphones to amplify the surrounding sound and pipe it into the ear cups alongside audio, allowing you to hear conversations and announcements without removing the headphones. This aspect is vital if you want to use it for such purposes as going to work or traveling. Make sure that you can have it before making your purchase decision.
The Forcell F-Audio Vibe ANC Wireless Bluetooth Headphones are available now at fone4u.ie with free 1–2 day delivery across Ireland. In-store purchase and same-day collection are available at Fone4U stores in Ballina, Co. Mayo, Sligo, and Bray, Co. Wicklow.
