Edifier W830NB Wireless Over Ear Headphones with -45dB Active Noise Cancelling, 94H Playtime, LDAC Hi-Res Sound, Spatial Audio, Fast Charging, Multipoint Connection, Bluetooth V5.4 - Ivory

My bold headline is 100% tongue-in-cheek--I adore my wife. These headphones are so good at this price point that it has the unintended effect of making it hard to hear my wife when she calls for me! Nooo! A few years ago I bought some Sony over-ear WH1000XM3s for $350 and they served me well for a couple of years, until they developed a major in-ear *shrieking* feedback loop issue, which made the active noise cancellation (ANC) totally unusable, so I started using them as corded headphones until the headband broke. This put me in the market for a new pair of ANCs, but money is tight right now.So I researched budget ANCs and found the Edifier W830NB after watching a variety of YouTube videos. For $80, these seem to have (subjectively) about 80-90% of what that older Sony pair delivered in terms of ANC and sound quality. I did some headphone frequency sweeps via YouTube and the headphones didn't have trouble with most frequencies. I did notice that while doing a center-channel frequency sweep, sometimes a tone would sound louder in one ear than the other, (which it's ideally not supposed to do), but that's not a deal-breaker for me. The bass could also be a bit thumpier, as I listen to a lot of hip-hop (among many other genres). The headphones did not rattle, though, during the low-range frequency tests, which suggests a solid build quality.Overall, I think these are five star for the money and the ANC. They may not rattle your brain in the audio quality arena, but for my purposes, sitting at my desk and trying to drown out the sound of a loud wall AC and portable fans during the summer, they do a fantastic job. I also like that this Edifier model has a corded (USB-C) jack, which I use most of the time. the next rung-up of Edifier ANCs didn't have this feature. The headphones are comfortable--maybe a little tight right out of the box, but after the foam gets softer, they'll be fine. The earcups feel a bit warm, but I also live in Los Angeles, where warm weather is frequent, and my Sonys had the same issue. This Edifier charges quickly, the sound is clear, and I can work dutifully at my desk. Although sometimes I have to lift up one of my ear cups, just so I can hear my wife. :)

These are probably some of the best headphones I had for the price range. It includes some of the best audio quality and features that can be used in the app. The noise cancellation is good for the price, but could be better. The build quality overall is very durable and not cheap. Would recommend for those who have glasses as it’s not annoying putting on or off the headphones. The battery life last very long and I rarely had to charge it.

Excellent product, at a super low price it rivals the more expensive units. Very comfortable to wear with a good fit over your head and ears, and while it will not stay out of you begin intensive workouts, it is a great for an all day wear, or for when you are cutting the grass.The sound quality is excellent, the design is good, the buttons are responsive, it is a great item for the casual user. It offers several levels of Active noise cancelling, but only with the use of the companion app. At maximum noise cancelling you can still hear some sounds filter through, but very lightly which in my opinion is good. I cannot speak for durability since I have not had them long enough, but time will tell. They do feel well built and I'm confident that they will be durable.

The more I listen to these, the more impressed I get. These are great sounding for the money, clarity, sound separation is fantastic! I have wired headphones that don't sound as good as these. It also has mic setting for ambient sound if you need it, noise suppression is outstanding! The frame is a bit flimsy, but fit is perfectly comfortable. Connected to bluetooth and haven't had one problem yet. Only one thing, if you try to use the USB-C to 3.5 adapter cable, it doesn't work to give you sound. Would've liked to use it on direct to digital player, but it doesn't work. Still for the sound you get, had to give it a 5 as it blows many higher cost wired headphones out of the water...which I did NOT expect. HIGHLY recommend these great wireless headphones by EDIFIER. Great job guys.
