Edifier W820NB Plus Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones - LDAC Codec - Hi-Res Audio Wireless & Wired - Fast Charge - Over Ear Bluetooth V5.2 Headphones for Travel/Home/Office- Ivory

I’m still using these headphones in 2026 and got them in 2023z work like day one. The noise cancelling is surprisingly good for the $63 I paid. I wear these in airplanes and I can hear very well whatever I am watching on my phone, although I mostly just turn on the active noise cancellation feature to block the engine noise and don’t even play any music or nothing. The battery life is great. I probably wore these without charging for two whole days of flying and traveling out of the country to Asia from the USA and it lasted the entire time, I was either using active noise canceling or watching inflight movies. Great product. Was looking to purchase another pair but looks like this model’s discontinued so I’ll have to give their Next Gen model a shot, but they do cost $30 more so I’ll have to wait.

I don't think of myself as snobbish as an "audiophile" but I definitely have strong opinions about sound quality, comfort and connectivity. I bought these headphones along with several other pairs of bluetooth headphones. These were the clear winner without question. Initially I wasn't thrilled about lack of 3.5mm jack but I got over it quickly. I wanted a nice set of headphones for my PC. I loved them so much I bought another pair for work. The noise cancelling works great. There are forklifts and air powered tools being used in the building but at my desk I can just barely hear them. I plug in a USB C cable and use them for zoom calls instead of the cheap junk headset my work provided. Battery life has always been reliable. I have a somewhat large head and big ears and the cups fit perfectly and comfortably over my ears. I haven't tried any other Edifier products but based on these headphones I'd definitely consider them. Great for the price.

An excellent option if you dont want to spring for a "premium" pair. The battery, comfort, weight, noise cancelation, and price are all great (I paid $36 on Prime). For context, I also have a pair of Bose QC3s. They dont get as loud as those(prob a good thing), and their range from high to low isnt the same. I bought these bc when I'm doing yardwork or just working up a sweat in general, I didnt want to fry my "expensive" pair. These have exceeded my expectations. Would I buy again for $40 or even $75? Yes. My ONLY gripe and the main reason they lose a star... the buttons. I have had these for months now and I still have to feel a round a bit to make sure Im hitting the button I want. There is almost nothing distinguishing the "up/skip fwd" button and the "pause/on/off" button. Weirdly, the NC button is totally separate and the "down/back" is cut to be a different height... so why not just make one more button different as well?? Small thing, but super annoying and affects every session. Best use cases: when you need long battery life, when you know theyre going to take abuse(bc of cost), for kids(bc of cost and vol limitations), or if you do a lot of audiobook/podcasts and dont care about range/bass/vol.

So first and foremost an important workaround!; -I know I had this issue and I was looking through reviews. The USB-C audio works fine, but to make it work the first time, at least on Windows 11, you need to reboot the computer with them plugged in. Once Windows 11 starts up from scratch (full reboot not sleep mode) the USB-C audio will then work as expected. It's very good, actually. I haven't tried it on my android phone, but I will edit this if a solution is needed for the latest android. For sound? The sound is very good to be honest. It's up there with my Soundpeats Engine4, Soundcore Space One, and a handful of others in my collection. It'll never fit the position of my Grado's, though it's not designed to as it's closed back. For noise cancelling I have a Honeywell fan running next to me at full blast. There's some wind distortion if it hits the mic directly, but otherwise I can just barely hear the fan running and don't hear the house circulation fan. While I haven't been able to test it on a plane just yet this is a good sign. For bluetooth latency with gaming mode... You can expect a mixed bag DEPENDING on the codec you use. With LDAC it definitely reduces the latency a lot. However, you'll still notice a smidgen of it. (say drag over an icon in FFXIV you'll have a much smaller than normal, but still present, delay). Much better than most bluetooth but not the best. THAT SAID if you want true low latency with these use the SBC codec. When using SBC and game mode, on or off, the latency becomes almost entirely a non issue in FFXIV with sound on hover. Thankfully it has a bitpool of 51 so it supports SBC XQ if your phone image has that or PC if you use alternate a2dp driver to use dual channel and bitpool 47 with sbc on windows. With SBC at normal or SBC XQ the latency goes from barely noticeable with game mode off to invisible for me in ff14 with game mode on. I could really play it with either at that point. So don't be afraid to set LDAC to high quality mode and just swap to SBC when the latency really REALLY matters. The SBC seems to connect in high quality mode as well (something I didn't see in the Soundpeats Space which...for some reason...connected at low SBC quality bitrates). So you won't have horrific sound degradation. Wired operation: If I didn't bet my left cheek it was Windows 11's fault I would've chucked a star off. But to use it wired you have to use the USB cable. Personally I'm liking USB-C headphones as they charge, provide a bit of amplification yada yada. But on Windows 11 you will need to reboot the PC while they're plugged in for wired mode to work. My guess is this detects it's not just a device to charge during the boot sequence. Plugging them in without doing so just puts them into charge mode which turns the ANC on but not much else.

These headphones are on the cheaper side, but you really wouldn’t really be able to tell. The sound quality is shockingly good, and the noise cancellation is very decent. They’re lightweight and have a very straightforward button layout on the right headphone. They are also extremely durable! I have dropped these things on asphalt, stepped on them, sat on them, slammed them in a car door, you name it. One of the headphones actually came off (my fault, I stepped on them one too many times), and y’know what? I straight up just put duct tape on them and they’re good as new. The quality has not diminished at all in the two years that I’ve had them. They’re not indestructible, but they know how to take a beating. In short, I am a huge fan of these headphones, and I highly recommend them. They are not high end by any means but they are extremely respectable. I really hope they don’t stop making them because I genuinely don’t think I’ll ever want a different brand.

I use these headphones primarily to listen to music and videos on a Windows 11 laptop. My first impression of the Edifiers is very mixed. They initially felt a bit tight on my middle-sized head, but after a short amount of wearing they are still snug, but a bit more comfortable. They stay in place well enough, but they don’t feel especially heavy or light. The ear pads are large and block a significant amount of ambient sound. They can get pretty warm after a short time, but not unbearably so. I can easily listen for an hour or so without significant discomfort. The build feels adequate, but not luxurious or bulletproof. The product description indicates that these are not foldable, but my ear pieces fold flat. The various joints are fairly sloppy, and the entirely plastic headband loses adjustment easily. This is my first experience with noise canceling. The effect is noticeable and pleasant, but not dramatic. Low frequencies are pretty well masked, higher frequencies not as much. Noise canceling is not as important to me as sound quality. The sound quality is good enough for my purposes, but not spectacular. On first listen, the sound seemed somewhat more processed than natural, and a bit thin and flat. From other reviews I knew they wouldn’t be bass heavy, which for me is a good thing. After a 4-5 hours of use, they seem to have gotten better. I haven’t used them enough to speak to full battery life, which is now at 80%. I usually use iTunes for playing my large music collection, and using the built-in iTunes equalizer makes a big difference. The presets are surprisingly good, and they make the Edifiers sound much better. It’s a bit of a pain to add another step, but the improvement is worth it. The sound when listening to speech on videos is good enough, but on some videos, I can sometimes detect a little latency. There is a game mode, but I couldn’t tell the difference. Pairing was easy, and the Bluetooth range a bit better than some of my other devices. After a day or two with no problems, I now sometimes get brief, random dropouts. I don’t know whether to blame the headphones, or interference from some other device. I can’t pin it down. A USB C to A charging cable is included, but not a charger. The buttons feel okay, but are not prominent enough, or differentiated enough, and they are spaced too close together for my large, numb fingers. I wish it had a dedicated power switch instead of a multi-function button that has to be held down to turn the power on or off. The power and ANC controls would be better on the left side. I don’t use the headphones with my iPhone, or use them to take calls, so I can’t speak to those functions. Now for the really unforgivable stuff: The included instructions are totally lacking, and in tiny print on a pamphlet made for very small ants. The downloadable pdf version is more readable, but not very helpful. I suppose the assumption is that you'll be using the app on your phone. It's inexcusable that there is no app alternative for Windows, and some of the settings and options are simply unavailable to PC users. Among other unavailable options there is supposed to be a "Standard" mode along with the Ambient, ANC and Game modes; the instructions provide no information as to what that even is. Also missing is whatever passes for an equalizer, and a battery status indicator. The manual makes no reference to it, but I found that battery status can be found in Windows under the settings for Bluetooth devices. Also totally ignored in the manual is the meaning of the various flashing blue LED patterns that come and go. In the manual for another model I found that they are likely Bluetooth status indicators, but the patterns don't really match this model. No clues on the Edifier site. Completely missing is any sort of indication as to whether the power is on or off. Sometimes the blue lights flash, sometimes they don't. This is where a dedicated two-position power switch would be very helpful. And it would avoid having to hold the power button down to turn the device on or off. The ANC is always enabled by default when powering on, instead of remembering the last used setting - that’s annoying and should be optional. How smart would a designer have to be to figure all this out? From what I understand, the phone app is a thinly veiled ad for other products and is likely to be a privacy issue. That trend is certainly unforgivable, and would be very unwelcome in a Windows app. I have little to compare these headphones with, except some older LG neckband earbuds, which sound much worse, and some even older wired Sennheiser P100 lightweight on-ear headphones, which sound a bit better and more natural. Despite the really stupid stuff listed above, the Edifiers are probably as good as I’ll get for the price. If they don’t break, I can recommend them for casual listening to music and video. For the $55 sale price, I probably could have done worse, and, at the moment, I’m planning to keep them. They’d be 4 stars except for the stupid stuff, and especially the functions lost without the app.

I love these headphones. I have had A Lot of headphones and the W820NB Plus headphones sound great, noise canceling works and sounds better than some of my other headphones. Passthrough sounds great too. I use it a lot during my day to day so I can listen to my music but when someone talks to me I have no problem hearing them. Actually trips up some of the people I talk to. Battery life is super great. I love headphones that have over 24hrs of battery life nothing more annoying than wanting to listen to some music and your headphones are out of power. This Baby Blue Beauty has 2 days worth of power. I have been charging it every 5 to 7 days when I remember. So far I haven't had it die on me yet. LDAc took a bit to get working. On my Samsung Note 20 Ultra I either have to install the Edifier app to get into all the bells and whistles and to switch onto Ldac mode or I can go into my Bluetooth settings for the headphones and turn on Ldac. Great for my 24bit flac files. The W820NB Plus headphones are my new daily driver. I have been using them since I bought them a few months ago and I have not had any issues with the headphones physically. They have been super comfy and haven't had any problems with wearing em for way longer than is probably healthy. Oh and they are easy to clean. The baby blue finish hasn't chipped or scraped off these past few months and the color is always an eye catcher out in the wild. Super Kool Cans.

I don't have a ton of experience with headphones and definitely not over ear headphones. But this was a frustrating device and even more frustrating experience with Amazon. Not sure what has happened to Amazon over the years, but it has turned into poor quality products, fake reviews, and even poorer customer service. PAIR #1 The first pair worked well except the audio would cut out/pause/blip every minutes regardless of the connected device (phone, laptop). It had great range and I could walk out of the house, around to the back of the house with the device in my room and still stay connectd. The noise cancellation was decent, but I expected more based on price alone. The earpads were a very thin and soft PU leather material. It seems prone to tearing (one cat paw stepping on it and it will probably be caput), deformity (already see wrinkles that make the headphones look 10 months old), and discoloration (I got the light green). The thin nearly transparent cloth that covered the speakers definitely look like an accidental fingernail would puncture through and expose the speakers. The battery life was great BUT you cannot charge them while using them. That was my experience with both Edifier pairs that I tried. I think I only needed to charge it once in the couple of days I had to before contacting Amazon. Anyway Amazon sent me a replacement because of the sound issue. The second pair was projected to come a week later. Great Prime experience so far. Love waiting many days for their screw up. Customer service was able to expedite delivery and shaved off a few days. PAIR #2 The second pair must have been a refurbished pair or something because it was even worse than the first. I no longer had the blips every minute but the range on this particular pair was garbage. I walked 20 feet away from my device before audio started cutting out. The play/pause button worked every three tries. The audio sounded like it was underwater. I even pulled PAIR #1 back out to double check that I was not making it up. I wasn't. My favorite part of this Edifier/Amazon experience was when I tried to return them both to Kohls and be done with them. The first pair was able to go to Kohls, but the second pair did not have that option. In my experience, it is much easier than going to UPS (gotta print label, find box, find tape, go out of way). There aren't very many Amazon stores around but plenty of Kohls. I tried Amazon Customer Service and had to speak to 4 different representatives. The first 3 would randomly drop me in the middle of the conversation because they didn't understand that I just wanted a refund with a return to a Kohl's location. TL;DR? Had to try two different pairs because of defects with the original shipped pair. Turns out both had different defects or overlapped defects that contradicted what the product description stated the headphones would be able to do. Had a run around with Amazon Customer Service. Verdict?? Don't just run from Edifiers. Run from Amazon too.

Cancelación de ruido ANC me ha sorprendido para el precio del producto, no es como un Sony de 500€ que te lo pones y te da un mareo del silencio que ofrecen, estos te bajan el sonido de una oficina ruidosa perfectamente y sin poner nada de musica oyes algunas voces altas del ambiente a tan poco volumen que es bastante difícil de entenderlas y si pones música a un mínimo 30% o 40% del volumen entonces ya no oyes nada mas que musica y muy definida. Si desactivas el ANC a un volumen de 40/50% oyes el entorno y necesitas sobrepasar 60% para aislarte mas con lo cual el uso del ANC es agradecido por tus oídos. Si lo conectas por USB al windows 11 le puedes poner el máximo de calidad (Calidad estudio) y reproducirás tus archivos flac de alta definición perfectamente, con el bluetooth tampoco se oirán mal pero con algo menos de resolución. Es verdad que se ven algo delicados como he visto en algun comentario pero el tiempo de uso lo dirá. Para mi una compra de diez salvo que fallen por algun lado inesperado. Batería bastante bien, con ANC activado y al 100% desde las 8 am y a un volumen de media de 45-50% he llegado a las 17.00pm al 90% de batería.

Excellent device, and love the color! The battery is *actually* long-lasting and the sounds quality is high. I mostly purchased them because of the noise cancelling mode, which is really good. Perfect for studying!

Ich habe lange nach Over-Ear-Kopfhörern gesucht, die bequem sind, gut klingen und nicht gleich ein Vermögen kosten – und bin bei den Edifier W820NB Plus gelandet. Was soll ich sagen? Ich bin richtig zufrieden! Der Sound ist echt toll, schön ausgewogen, mit angenehmem Bass, ohne dass irgendwas dröhnt oder schrill wird. Auch die Verarbeitung fühlt sich richtig hochwertig an, nichts klappert oder wirkt billig. Dazu sind sie super bequem – ich kann sie stundenlang tragen, ohne dass irgendwas drückt oder nervt. Das ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) ist okay – natürlich nicht so mega stark wie bei teureren Modellen, aber völlig ausreichend für meinen Alltag. Es nimmt genug Störgeräusche raus, damit ich mich auf Musik oder Podcasts konzentrieren kann, aber man sollte keine absolute Stille erwarten. Für den Preis ist das völlig in Ordnung. Der Akku hält auch ewig, die Verbindung geht schnell und stabil, und ich finde es mega angenehm, dass sie nicht so schwer auf dem Kopf liegen. Für mich sind die Kopfhörer ein absoluter Glücksgriff – ich würde sie definitiv wieder kaufen!

J'écrirai un avis plus long plus tard quand j'aurai davantage de temps, mais je souhaitais déjà écrire un résumé, qui est que ce casque, que j'utilise maintenant depuis 3 semaines de façon intensive (chaque jour pendant 10h+/j) est tout juste exceptionnel. Je l'ai utilisé pour réviser une formation académique de haut niveau pendant plusieurs semaines. Je ne pensais pas qu'un casque anti-bruit m'était nécessaire, car j'ai toujours travaillé avec du bruit et de la musique. Quelle erreur d'appréciation! Les filtres anti-bruit actif et passif sont tout simplement incroyables, ils filtrent de façon impressionnante presque tous les types de bruits sur toutes les fréquences, que ce soit les fréquences graves ou aigues. Pour les audiophiles, le son est très bien équilibré, et il ressort merveilleusement bien avec le filtre anti-bruit actif! Quand il est activé, les sons musicaux ont encore plus de profondeur, c'est certainement de qualité studio à mon avis et d'après les tests en ligne. Pour ceux qui ont peur qu'un casque anti-bruit avec des coussins à mémoire de forme comme celui-ci cause de la chaleur et des inconforts dans les oreilles, je peux dire que ce n'est pas le cas. J'ai pourtant le conduit auditif des oreilles très sensibles, je ne supporte souvent pas les bouchons d'oreille alors que j'en ai besoin pour dormir la nuit, mais ce casque ne cause que très très peu d'humidité dans les oreilles alors qu'il a pourtant une très bonne adhérence hermétique autour des oreilles. Il est extrêmement confortable. Pour les audiophiles et les exigents, il y a des vidéos youtube permettant d'écouter le filtre anti-bruit actif de plusieurs casques, dont les meilleurs actuels (sony et apple), et incluant celui-ci de Edifier, et bien qu'il soit bien sûr moins efficace, ses performances restent très proche à mon avis, à un coût bien moindre. Il y a également le test détaillé du soundguys, avec des courbes audio qui montrent objectivement que le rendu audio est bien équilibré et que le filtre anti-bruit est très efficace sur toutes les fréquences. Vraiment, une très belle réussite par Edifier avec ce W820NB Plus, bravo!

Is a very good product And good delivery services ♥️
