Edifier WH950NB Active Noise Cancelling Headphones, Bluetooth 5.3 Wireless Headphones, LDAC Hi-Res Audio, 55 Hours Playtime, Google Fast Pairing for Android, Dual Device Connection, App Control, White

I received these today and will be comparing them to the Soundcore Q45 I am not an audiophile by any means and do not know all the jargon for audio. This will be from your average consumer who just wants decent headphones for music, youtube watching, and movies. Price: Retail these are 179.99 vs 149.99 (Q45) Given the retail price here are my thoughts on the two as an average consumer Sound: I feel these actually have better bass then the Q45's, its not a huge difference but it definitely gives what ever your listening to a better feel. The overall sound quality does sound better, but its not a night and day difference. Build: The build feels and looks more premium versus the Q45. I get that these are copying some looks from more well known headphones, but honestly when you see them in person its mainly the color scheme that makes it apparent. Battery: The batter life of these is great, I have to recharge them every 2-3 days before I get the low battery notification/sound and that's with constant use. I use these at my computer mainly for my job and for school, so I can have these running for 8+ hours a day. The Q45 beats these, but since my main use case is sitting at a computer with these headphones I do not worry about battery life too much. Comfort: The band is comfortable, but between these and the Q45's, the band does have a higher clamp force and after some odd hours can force you to take small breaks of use. This may differ on head size. Mic/Calls: The mics on these headphones beat the Q45's hands down. I tested these against the Q45's and a C920 webcam (which has decent mics). The Q45's actually sound worse than my C920 webcam, and that was using different applications for testing. The Edifiers are crisp and clear, they sound even better than my webcam and cut out ambient noise really good. I was originally using an expensive pair of gaming headphones/mic combo for Teams calls, but I will now be using these instead. ANC: The ANC is slightly better than the Q45's, but honestly it wasn't by much. It does block out around 85% of the noise around me with no sound playing, such as a Fan, Heater Fan, Outside cars going by (windows closed though), and muffles the sound of my mechanical keyboard. If you have anything playing on the headphones with ANC on, you don't really hear anything at all. Overall no ANC headphones will block out ALL SOUND, but these definitely do a really good job. Phone App: Not as nice as the SoundCore app, but honestly its fine for what it is, allows you to control a lot of the settings such as ANC, Connections, Sound Profiles (which they have a custom equalizer, but only 2 premade profiles to choose from), etc. Final thoughts: At retail pricing, I can honestly say these are hard to justify over the Q45's, but if you want just that little bit more premium quality overall then definitely these are worth it. I personally preferred the sleeker/better looks of these headphones. Also the Q45's go on sale pretty frequently, even down to 100 bucks, you can also find them at BestBuy and price match. So if you are looking for the best DEAL, then Q45's are with out a doubt the best of the two. But if you only care about the QUALITY with out breaking the bank, then the Edifiers are my choice. I will be sending back the Q45's and keeping these.

Easy to pair, connect to different devices, works out of the box, comes with case and it is high quality, comes with 3 cords so the value is there. Has a faux leather finish that looks and feels wonderful to the touch. Listening experience is perfect, no noticeable noise bleed unlike the 830n variant. Also has a headphone jack, which is extremely important to me. I have no cons whatsoever, it looks cool, it comes with all the accessories and is well packaged, it's light, it's easy to use, and has long battery life. Perfect headphones!

Fit is acceptable. Can wear for extended periods with little annoyance. Ear cups are just 7 or 9mm too small to truly go over-ear like a nice pair of Beyerdynamic, Sony, or Sennheiser. Oh well. Connection is solid. Sound quality is a grade B, they do a solid job across the board with the EQ. They just lack power. I prefer things loud, especially music. Music should be heard loud. Movies, as well. I have to literally crank volume to max on AndroidTV just to get close to immersion. Not bad for kids or casual listening, gym, work. Most people might be pleased with the results. One thing for sure - it's way better than Soundcore Q20, with their crackly Noise Cancelling software and small earcups. These are definitely not audiophile level, but they do have LDAC for HiRes BT which is a must. The Noise Cancelling is getting better these days thankfully and this headphone does a decent job eliminating fans or heaters, car or plane hum. Altogether not bad for the price. Just wish they had more power in the volume bracket and some larger ear cups to get the pads totally off the ear.

i have used these headphones for months now,sound is awsome,very good bass,noise canceling is great,use them on mower,weed eater,leaf blower,wood spliter,chain saw,easy phone connection for calls,music,they get wet dirty,justclean them up .have even gotten wet,no problems.preimum produce at a fair price.battery charge holds for many hours.makes work enjoyable.

I picked these up on a lightning deal for about one twenty. I had been looking at them prior, but was leaning towards the Sennheiser accentum 2plus for a bit more. This deal made it worth trying. Normally I've prioritized Music quality and ANC over voice but for the office I need ANC/Voice with music still important, but 3rd. Here's my pros and cons: PRO: LDAC comfortable Fast charge for long battery life ANC isn't bad. not the greatest but with music its fine Case is sturdy Airplane adapter included App works well. Quick pairing is nice, and the ability to customize the multi-function button is also nice. Passthrough mode is decent and customizable Phone calls: in a semi-quiet environment, people hear me clear and natural. in a very noisy one? I sound a bit more digitized but still can hear me. This is what I was looking for in a headset when taking calls. battery life CON: I can't multipoint with LDAC on for ... reasons. Its fine. I mostly use it in an office environment and jump between my phone (music) and computer (teams calls). I had previously always bought buds and prioritized music over calls and in a noisy environment it didn't work out. So i'll manually switch connections Mute on the multi-function button doesn't seem to work with teams. Not a big deal. Buttons... There is a 3-button combo. the raised plus and dot logos aren't very indistinguishable via quick touch. I sometimes hit the wrong one and instead of pausing music I skip to the next track bulky in the case. When travelling I'll stick to my Senny ear buds for lightness, but for bringing to the office and back its fine OK: ANC is ok. Oddly I have white noise generators in my office and I hear that with the ANC on no problem. Not something I experienced on my Sennheiser TWS Momentum 3s. All my other headsets and ear buds had decent ANC EXCEPT for calls. I keep the sound quality in dynamic mode for now. you can tweak a custom set up but I try to review on the built in sounds. highs are a bit bright but otherwise a nice standard tune depending on what you listen to. Would prefer a tad more bass. Small-ish ear cups. I have normal sized ears but these really make me feel like their large and can cause some bleedthrough if not seated properly. I hope future firmware updates allow for the multfunction mute to work with teams, and maybe to allow multipoint with LDAC enabled but again, for the cost? I'm ok with what I got compared to ones that can run $100+ more that it competes (well) with. These are keepers for now!

I'm a fan of Edifier products. I have a set of Edifier e235 Bluetooth speakers with a sub and they sound really good. I purchased them to replace a set of Harmon Kardon and I am happy with the purchase. So, I figured I'd try out their ANC bluetooth headphones. When I first listened to music on them I was happy. The bass isn't overpowering or muddy/muffled and the mids and highs are clear and crisp. I was able to pair them to my MacBook and my iPhone and they would switch back and forth without any issue. While I was listening to music on my laptop, when a call came into my iPhone, the connection switched automatically for my phone call. The battery life seems to be really good. I used the headphones for two straight days of work as well as to watch a movie at night and I still had more than 50% battery power left. The ear pads are very comfortable and the headset didn't feel too heavy and didn't move a lot while I was wearing them. I wore them for hours and they didn't get really warm to me. The build feels like a premium set of headphones and they look great. The noise cancelling seemed to be pretty good. I couldn't tell the difference between some of the ANC modes, but for the most part, I was isolated from outside noises. The issue I had with these headphones were when I used the WH950NB microphone as the input device on my computer, the audio would switch from stereo to mono. I also tested this on a Windows 10 desktop and had similar issues. In Windows, the headphones show up in my sound panel as WH950NB Stereo and WH950NB hands free. The handsfree output is mono. If I set it to stereo, as soon as I switched to using the WH950NB as my input, I wasn't able to hear any audio until I switched to WH950NB hands free and thus the sound degraded. This meant if I was playing a game that required a mic, the game audio would be mono and not stereo. For zoom calls and such, it would only work in mono if I used the WH950NB microphone as my input. If I use my laptop microphone as the input on my MaBook, then I would get stereo sound from the WH950NB headphones output, but then I'm stuck next to my MacBook when I'm on a call. On my mac, once the mic was no longer in use, the output would automatically switch back to the stereo output. The other issue I had was due to the fact that I had it connected to both my laptop and my phone, when I listened to music on my laptop, if an alert (or any sound from my iPhone) sounded, the headphone would switch from the stereo mode to mono mode and then it would cut in and out for a few seconds before it would play normally again. So, this meant every email I received an alert for (or any other app that has alerts with sound) meant that my music on my laptop would get interrupted and wasn't a very pleasurable listening experience. I googled around and the issues I had with degraded sound while using the microphone appears to be pretty common with a lot of bluetooth headsets. I tried contacting their support to see if there was a fix for this, like a firmware update and they basically confirmed what I found when I was googling around and my experience with the headphones. This is the response I received from them: - Connect the headphone to the Mac via Bluetooth: If you need to talk to others on a call while listening to music, and select the audio input as Edifier WH950NB, the headphone will enable "handsfree" protocol by default. Handsfree protocol was originally designed for calls, and the response frequency is limited. Therefore, the sound quality of the headphone output may be relatively poor in this protocol. Generally speaking, after hanging up the call, the headphone output sound quality will return to normal. - Connect the headphone to the windows computer via Bluetooth: If you are on a call when selecting WH950NB stereo as the output, and WH950NB handsfree as the input, it is normal that you can only hear the other party on a call, but not any third-party application’s voice (such as music, game sound, etc.), that is because the stereo protocol does not support playing the sound of other applications during a call. If you only use these to listen to music/movies, only need them for one device or have a separate microphone, they really sound good and are worth the price. I couldn't get past the other issues I was having because I wanted to use them with multiple devices and use the microphone on them. In the end, I ended up returning them and will go back to my wired Bose QC15 headphones until I take the plunge and get the Bose 700.

These headphones worked well for maybe a week. After that I was unable to get the microphone to work with online meeting applications despite hours of effort and help from my husband who is an IT professional. The Edifier tech support is non-existent. One can send an email. An email comes back over night because they are in Hong Kong, but the advice is unresponsive to any specifics and brief, along the lines of look at this Facebook page, or look at our home page for tips. I'm super discouraged because I like the sound, I like the look and feel, but they don't work. That's the bottom line

Loving these OTE headphones! These are my first pair of the OTE; the sound quality is great; the noise cancellation appears to be more than adequate; minimal sound leakage; great comfort and style (minimalistic, low profile); proper grip on the head/ears (ie, not too loose); app is decent (I leave it on default Dynamic sound for music); case is great -- generally really happy w/ the purchase. 2 "complaints": (i) when wearing them around my neck, the earcups lay flat (which is good) but they still press on my neck/carotid (not great) but manageable and (ii) the equalizer is 4 channels while I've seen others that are 8 channels -- it makes no difference to me; still sound great! Looking forward to see how these age but so far so good.

Overall: I would recommend these beautiful cans to anyone looking for something that knocks the mid range headphone game out the park with a mid range budget as you cannot go wrong with these for so many reasons, my only gripe and it's small, is that I would have liked these to adjust to be a little bit more wider due to my large head and ears but after an okay amount of use I feel that these will be okay for long period of time and I am most delighted to be keeping these for the foreseeable. Connectivity & Setup: Connecting to these with my Android (Honor Magic 6 Pro) was absolutely beautiful, not sure if it's due to the Google fast pair feature it has but a pop up with a picture of these cans saying it will connect to my device and Google account appeared and one button press and presto. I downloaded the app and had a plethora of options, to activate the multipoint feature, LDAC, safe volume mode and etc. Build Quality & Comfort: The build quality feels and looks premium, I ordered the Black model and it has a soft smooth black appearance with the metallic parts around the outer earcups giving a dark blackish purple look that the product photo doesn't show and I quite like it. The soft padding is a great welcome to comfort and does extend to allow me to wear and use these. I will say however that my head and ears are quite large and it does give me the slight niggling impression of a small (like 4%) discomfort, either due to my ears being to large (although they do fit inside the ear cups or due to it not extending just that little bit more which would probably help with any extra added potential pressure, I've only just got them and have worn them non stop for 1hr and what I have felt hasn't increased in the sightest which is a great sign, maybe for me I just need to reposition, but for people with smaller heads will be absolutely fine. Sound Quality: These sound absolutely phenomenal, the only word I can say to capture what these provide at such a great price, I wasn't sure on how these would be as I've never heard of this brand before and was going to either buy the Sennheiser Accentum Plus or Space One Pro but I am very very thankful that this wasn't a mistake especially with the 15% off discount that just sealed the deal. I have set these to LDAC 96kHz after swapping between LDAC 48/44.1kHz and no LDAC to see the differences and I did lean more into the highest LDAC option, not sure if I need to make sure the music is also of a quality best suited to the headphones but I am very impressed. Mic Quality: These are the first headphones I've owed where the Mic Quality feels on par if not better than my phone mic quality, did some testing and playback via WhatsApp voice recording as I do voice notes and calls a lot and need something that works and these not only work but far excceded my expectations, the experience is astounding, I could hear absolutely 0 background noise during playback and I sounded so absolutely clear. I also played it back on two different Phones and both results came back as impressed and positive. ANC, Ambient Features: The ANC on this really does a tremendous job in blocking out noise, and the Ambient Mode is absolutely incredible, in Ambient Mode I could hear and whole conversation in front of me as if I weren't wearing something blocking my entire ears. I have 5 options to choose from: High Noise Cancellation, Low Noise Cancellation, Wind Reduction, Ambient Noise and ANC off which I can switch between ANC on/off & Ambient with the press off a button via the headphones or change to each option via the app widget or notification bar due to the great app integration. Review after 3 months of use: So far everything above I've mentioned hasn't changed I still have an incredibly joyful experience however I've noticed one particular issue which I've experienced on a rare occasion for the last month a couple updates ago where the headset voice is quiet when turning on, there's no sound giving the impression that the headset is off, yet my devices can still connect to it. I'm then unable to turn it off and the only solution is to quickly plug it into a USB cable as if to charge it, then quickly unplug it and when pressing the on button the voice appears and it works as expected. A easy fix but a bit of an annoyance if you're out and about and don't have a usb cable, portable charger/plug to remedy the issue, otherwise it's perfect.

Le Edifier WH950NB sono un’ottima scelta per chi cerca cuffie con cancellazione attiva del rumore (ANC) e un suono di alta qualità, sia in modalità wireless che cablata. Uno dei punti forti è proprio la possibilità di utilizzare l’ANC anche quando le cuffie sono collegate via cavo, un’opzione non sempre disponibile in questo tipo di prodotto e che le rende particolarmente versatili, ad esempio in volo o quando si preferisce risparmiare batteria. In modalità wireless offrono una connessione stabile e una qualità sonora davvero notevole: i bassi sono pieni, gli alti nitidi e il bilanciamento generale è molto piacevole, adatto sia alla musica che alla visione di film o alle call di lavoro. Anche l’ANC è efficace, in grado di ridurre sensibilmente i rumori ambientali senza compromettere la qualità del suono. Dal punto di vista del comfort, le WH950NB sono ben costruite e leggere, con padiglioni morbidi che aderiscono bene alla testa. Unico piccolo neo: lo spazio interno per le orecchie non è particolarmente ampio, quindi chi ha orecchie più grandi potrebbe avvertire un po’ di pressione dopo un uso prolungato. Tuttavia, nel complesso, restano molto comode anche per sessioni d’ascolto di diverse ore. In conclusione, le Edifier WH950NB offrono prestazioni di alto livello a un prezzo competitivo, distinguendosi per la qualità audio, la versatilità d’uso e la cancellazione del rumore anche in modalità cablata – un dettaglio che fa davvero la differenz

A good headset for it's price. Noise canceling definitely not was good more expensive models. Music sounds great. Easy to control.

Para empezar, diré que no soy ningún experto en sonido, soy un usuario normal para el que expresiones como "bajos coloreados" no le dicen nada. Antes de decidirme por estos auriculares, visité un montón de reseñas de muchos modelos de entre 70 y 400€. Básicamente buscaba unos auriculares con buena cancelación de ruido para aislarme a la hora de estudiar y trabajar. Al final me decidí por estos después de ver varios vídeos y leer varias reseñas. Creo que he acertado plenamente. Sonido: Me parece redondo. He probado el sonido HD pero sinceramente lo he acabado desconectando porque primero, la mayoría de plataformas no emite con esa calidad, y segundo y más importante, lo cual pasa en todos los modelos de todos los precios si no me equivoco, se pierde la conexión multipunto... y eso para mi es más importante. Si escucho música en mi ordenador y me llaman al móvil, me encanta poder descolgar, responder la llamada, y seguir escuchando mi música sin tener que hacer nada. Sinceramente, no he apreciado una diferencia como para rasgarse las vestiduras entre el sonido de alta resolución y la calidad normal... porque ya la calidad normal es sencillamente buenísima a mi juicio. También vuelvo a decir que no soy un experto, no soy capaz de diferenciar los instrumentos y sus posiciones como he visto que hacen en algunas reseñas. Me sorprendió muchísimo un día que me dio por jugar a un videojuego de tipo shooter y sabía perfectamente desde dónde venían los tiros gracias al audio espacial. Por este último motivo los he probado con vídeos de sonido espacial y rinden de forma sobresaliente. Micrófono: No hay mucho que decir, en las llamadas, sobre todo al principio, le preguntaba a la gente cómo me oían y todos me decían que perfectamente, yo también oía la llamada muy bien... eso sí, recomiendo no hacer llamadas con la cancelación máxima de ruido porque oyes tu voz super bajita y como dentro de una lata... al menos a mi, eso me desconcentra de la conversación. Mejor conectar antes el modo de sonido "ambiente", que anula incluso la cancelación pasiva de ruido gracias a los micrófonos que incorpora... una pasada. Cancelación activa y pasiva de ruido: No he tenido ningún otro auricular con esta función, pero como prometían en las reseñas, ya solo con la cancelación pasiva (las almohadillas que rodean las orejas) te aíslas bastante. Con la cancelación activa, se anulan perfectamente ruidos de tipo continuo como por ejemplo el ventilador del ordenador o el ruido de fondo del motor de un avión durante un vuelo. Bajo mi punto de vista es excelente. Por ejemplo, yo estudio en una habitación y me ha pasado varias veces, que no he oído entrar a alguien y me ha tenido que dar en el hombro para que le oyera... y sí, me dio un buen susto :D También diré que tampoco es que te aísle al 100%, no creo que eso exista, pero sí que quita bastante. Si estás en un ambiente demasiado ruidoso, siempre puedes poner una música bajita o por ejemplo algo de "ruido blanco" o "ruido rosa" (este lo descubrí hace poco), que no es otra cosa que una frecuencia que ayuda a anular el sonido ambiental y que al final tu cerebro "cancela" sin darte cuenta. Entre los modos de cancelación, tienes cancelación máxima, mínima, mitigar el sonido del viento, sonido ambiente y desconectado. Diseño: Son geniales para mi gusto. Elegantes y con materiales muy premium bajo mi punto de vista. Además incluye una funda rígida super útil. También incluye cables para cargar y conectar a puerto de auriculares, además de un adaptador para los aviones. Las almohadillas sí que dan algo de calor, pero esto igual es algo subjetivo en cada persona. Una cosa importante, es que las almohadillas rodean completamente la oreja, lo cual es super importante de cara a la comodidad, si los vas a llevar varias horas puestos. Los he tenido del tipo que apoya la almohadilla en la oreja y al rato me dolían. Los botones son pocos y fáciles de localizar. Además el botón de cambio de modo de sonido, se puede configurar como quieras. No tiene controles táctiles, pero esto para mi es una ventaja, estoy seguro de que continuamente los activaría sin querer. Batería: Bueno pues como decían en alguna reseña que vi, "los cargo por aburrimiento". Dura una barbaridad. Por poner un ejemplo, después de varios usos largos, pensé que estarían casi sin batería, y al consultar la carga que quedaba (eso sí, en la aplicación), resulta que estaban al 70% todavía. Una pasada, además cargan por USB de tipo C. Lo que se podría mejorar: Me resulta super engorroso el cambio de sonido HD a normal, tienes hasta que reiniciar la app... pero esto no sé si es igual con otros dispositivos. De todas formas, como dije antes, me trae más cuenta el sonido normal por agilidad de uso. Otro punto en contra es que ciertas funciones las tienes que controlar desde la app. Por ejemplo para ver la batería que queda. Otros modelos, te dicen al encenderlos el porcentaje que queda... tampoco es un defecto gigante, pero me gustaría que lo dijese. Otra cosa que añadiría es que se pusiera el sonido en pausa al quitártelos, pero con lo que dura la batería... como que tampoco es algo vital... y siempre puedes pulsar el botón de pausa... que también es que nos volvemos de un perezoso... jejeje En conclusión. Unos auriculares que recomiendo totalmente si quieres algo bueno. Con una excelente cancelación activa de ruido y que seguramente cumpla todas tus expectativas. Si quieres aislarte para poder estudiar tranquilamente o que no te molesten en exceso, creo que son una opción ideal. No los he probado en la biblioteca, pero casi seguro que serán un complemento perfecto. Espero que resulte útil esta reseña. :)
