EdifierWH950NB Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones - LDAC Codec with Hi-Res Audio and Custom EQ via App after 55H Playtime with Foldable Wireless Over-Ear Bluetooth V5.3 Headphones - Ivory

Outstanding for the price point

really good product highly comparable to high end sony and beats products

I use these while I work. With the multipoint connection, I can listen to music on my phone then cut straight across to a Teams call on my laptop if a colleague tries to call.They feel of good quality, they fit well and are comfortable to wear all day. The noise cancelling is great - I'd say even better than my old Sony WH-1000MX3s. I don't really use the control buttons, other than to power on/off. The Edifier Connect app on my phone is easy to useThe downside is the battery life. I just use them in office hours, and they tend to last just two full working days before needing a recharge. I have other headphones with much better battery life, but none surpass the noise cancelling of these, which is on par with headphones twice the price

I've been using these headphones for little over a week now, and I have some thoughts, including some criticisms, but the TL;DR is that these headphones are an absolute steal for the price-to-performance proposition.Let's start with where I've come from, the expensive elephant in the room so to speak. The Sony WH-1000X series from XM2 to XM5. I'm seasoned with the higher-end when it comes to Active Noise Cancelling (ANC), and while the Edifier's don't quite match-up to those units, they still offer a completely surprising and quite refreshing noise-cancelling experience for the price, I'd say reaching around 80% of the ANC performance of their Sony counterparts. This came as a complete surprise to me, and I have a feeling it won't be long before the midrange category are nipping at the heels of the bigger players in the industry.Sound quality is where I was completely blown-away, and the breadth of customisation that Edifier provide in the companion app is absolutely fantastic. When left in the default "Dynamic" setting, the headphones have a noticeable v-shaped sound, putting strong emphasis on clarity with the high-range, suppressing the mids to a manageable level, while accentuating the bass to give a sort-of pseudo sub-bass that is sure to please keen bass-lovers. EDM, hip-hop, and rock titles are amongst my music preferences, and these headphones easily breezed through every single track with a pleasant sound, while sometimes being a little sharp for my ears on the high end, this was easily manageable through the app, and I'd encourage any owner to download Edifier Connect and tune these cans to your liking for the best experience, trust me, you won't be disappointed.The build quality is, for lack of a better word, fine. You can see the cost-saving measures in manufacturing at work here, but this doesn't affect the wearing experience at all, in fact they're very comfortable to wear for long periods of time, and I found myself only starting to fatigue after about 4 hours of constant listening, but this is my limit for most headphones, so your mileage may vary.Overall, these headphones are easy to recommend. The noise-cancelling performance is great, sound quality is awesome, and the comfort is spot-on. All of these categories are an easy win for the price, blowing Soundcore and similar budget-friendly alternatives right out of the water easily.So, should you Avoid, Shortlist, or go right ahead and buy? I think you should absolutely go right ahead and buy them, if you're searching around this price-point and have managed to avoid all of the up-sell sponsored spots from Sony and Bose, you'll love these headphones and they'll quickly become an EDC for you!

Great sound, and long battery life , quality product

(Disclaimer: I own multiple Edifier products. I try to be as unbiased as possible but but I down multiple multiple bits of Edifier audio equipment (speakers, earphones and headphones) and do have some favour to the brand due my experiences with them but have attempted to make my review as unbiased as possible)Bought them during prime day so got discounted to £110. I've always had some favour for edifier products due to my previous experience and how well they've worked for me.They sit comfortably on my head, the padding for the headband is soft and comfortable and the adjustment can be suited to all head shapes. I tend to wear a baseball cap regularly and they fit over that fine and are very comfortable.The sound quality is excellent. I can't speak from experience with other brands though.The connection is stable and has good range, I do regularly leave my phone around the house so having good range in important. I also use them in the office and have no interference or issues with range when going to make a drink.The battery life is very good, longer if you don't need to use the ANC. They also come with a cable that can be plugged in to your device should you run out of power but still need them.In the couple months I've owned them they've performed very well. I've had no issues and am considering buying pairs for my wife.Extras: these headphones can make your ears hot after a while.
