Edifier W830NB Wireless Over Ear Headphones, 94H Playtime, 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. :)

I was looking for a pair of wireless headphones for my PC after I finally broke my ATH-M30x’s and came across these. Battery life is great, I tend to forget to turn them off and I’ve only had to charge them a few times. The comfort of the pads is decent, it’s not completely over my ears but they fit snug and are comfortable enough to sit for a few hours playing games without getting that awkward feeling on your ears. Sound quality is pretty good, not super bass heavy but enough to be able to pick it out from the rest of the frequencies. I’d recommend to anyone who likes to have a headset for multipurpose use. Easy to connect to the pc as well as my phone and they’ll switch back and forth without having to reconnect them.

I was a bit skeptical before buying because I have tried many brands of headphones and always ended returning them. I am a fan of Bose earbuds since my first pair, which was the wired Quiet Comfort pre noise cancellation those were the best earbuds, then I move to Bluetooth earbuds from Bose as well but after a couple of years I have to renew them. Now this Edifier are my first experience with the brand, and even though this were not the ones that I actually wanted to buy, I decided to give them a try with a lower tier and have a feel of the brand. Having all of this in mind, they feel great to the touch even the outer plastic shell feels premium, the padding cups are soft and they do not make uncomfortable pressure to my head, which most headphones do. Sound quality is amazing and well balance, rich highs and deep bass, they sound like if I push the volume up all the way, they will blow my hair out, lol, so I don't pass 60%. Battery life seems to good to be true but only time will tell. They came charge at 100% out of the box and after about 4 hours of non continuing use my phone still show they are at 100%. The buttons and controls are easy to use, big enough to feel which one I am pressing and they feel sturdy enough. The weight is well distributed and they do not feel heavy, I only use them for about 2 hours straight and they were comfortable. I haven't tested the ANC enough to have an opinion but it seems like is good, it does have three modes, full ANC On, ambient noise and ANC Off, at this time I can't tell the difference between the last two. My overall first impression is of satisfaction, value vs price and do not feel like there is anything better out there, sound is rich and powerful, they are pretty to look at too! They could be a 5* but I haven't tried enough and that is why I don't rate them that high. So after a couple of days of having them and a few hours of use, I am happy and I will recommend them.

I love these, they're probably the best headphones i've ever used in this price point. The sound is very clear, it's much more durable than my previous Soudcore headphones (much much more durable), the controls make sense, I've never had an issue with Bluetooth or anything. The only downside to these is the mic quality but I was aware it wasn't the best going in, it works fine if there isn't any noise around you but if there is, like at a cafe or on loud bus, the person on the other end isn't going to be able to pick up what you're saying very well. They're also very comfortable, i've worn them for hours with no problem, super comfortable on my ears, battery quality is also pretty good as well. A for the noise cancellation, I'm on the spectrum so can be sensitive to noises from the street when I'm walking, restaurants, malls, etc, and these don't block them out 100% but do it just enough i can distract myself with music or a podcast instead.

The sound is great! I'm not an audiophile, but these sound good across all frequencies. There is an app where you can adjust all the frequencies. And they are allegedly noise cancelling. I haven't tried that feature yet because the padding around the speakers effectively blocks most outside sound. I haven't taken them on a plane yet to check it out, but for using at the gym, you don't need it. The one major problem I have is the on/off switch. It is placed between the "up" and the "down" controls in one continuous strip of rubber. It is not very large, though it does have a noticible "bump" on in. To turn them on, you press and hold this button. I haven't yet managed to reliably find this "nub" while wearing the headphones, so I have to turn them on - off of my head and wait for the blue light to flash. The light flashes very slowly, so you don't know whether they're on by the light alone for awhile. There is an audio notice that they are on and then another when they are connected. But you have to hold them up to one of your ears while pressing the button to hear it. I ususally have to try 2-3 times to turn them on, but they are quicker to turn on than off. But the real problem comes when turning them off. Of course, you use the same button between the Up and Down controls. But turning them off takes even longer. At least 2-3 minutes, without exageration. I've held the button down for at least that long. It's impossible to do with them still on your head. You have to take them off and watch for the RED light. Sometimes the volume increases or decreased while you're attempting to turn them off. It's very frustrating and it happens every single time. Clearly, either the button needs to be isolated, on it's own. This would be physically impossible to retrofit these. So it's a very poor design. And the button should be more responsive to a button press. Pressing the on/off button quickly has no effect. Interestingly, the "Pairing" button is on its own. It would really be nice if there were a firmware update to address this, but that may be too much to ask. The other great thing about these is that the battery lasts almost forever, which is one of the reasons I got them. While I like these, I would definitely not buy them again or recommend them to anyone else, unless you are prepared for some major frustration. I waited 3-4 months before writing this review because I thought that there was something I was doing wrong when turning them off, but no matter what I do, it just takes trial and error and patience to get these to turn off. If you are prepared for this pain point, these sound good, are comfortable and the battery lasts a long time. A lot to like, but very frustrating.

These are amazing headphones. I have had them for 9months now. I work 14hr shifts, sometimes we sit all day these headphones will hold the charge the whole time. They have so many different modes to get the audio quality you want. You can access the noise cancellation mode without using the app. They are so comfortable, the foam on the ear cups creat such a great seal. You can connect to multiple devices at a time through Bluetooth. The ear cups are replaceable as well if needed. I love them. Highly highly recommend!!!

I bought a previous version of this product (WH700NB). The previous one was the best pair of headphones I have ever owned so I bought the upgrade when I accidentally stepped on the old pair and broke it about a few months ago. Compared to that this is a piece of garbage and the number of positive reviews need a counterbalance. The only advantage it has over the older model is the length of time the battery stays charged. However, the difference doesn't matter all that much. 70 hrs compared to 90 hrs doesn't really matter when they do such a bad job with everything else. The thing CANNOT deal with 2+ paired devices well at all like the old one could. Not only do I have to deal with "disabling" the headphones on my computer (by selecting a different audio device), I often have to "forget" my connection and re-pair on my phone. Even then, it often doesn't send messages to the right device (when hitting start/stop). The button design is awful. The old version had separate buttons for each function. This one has a single "manipulative" button whose function depends on which part of the button you press down (start/stop, volume up or volume down). It often doesn't detect the correct operation. Finally, the noise cancellation notice is backward. Noise cancellation works as expected except that when it is turned off, the device reports that it has been turned on and vice versa. It was downright confusing the first time I heard that it was enabled and then hear all kinds of noise (after accidentally hitting the button, which luckily actually is a separate button).

Pros: Comfortable to wear for hours on end. Clear, full sound. You can hear the low end but it's not overpowering (I prefer that it would hit harder). Long battery life. Cons: The headset will randomly change the sound. When on calls, sometimes I can hear myself clearly while most of the time I sound like I'm in a muted closet. The mics are not very good for online meetings. It's very inconsistent. Sometimes I'm heard clearly, other times they have a hard time hearing me or can't hear me at all. It looks like I'm going to have to purchase a separate mic for work calls. The headset I had before this one did a much better job, but unfortunately, its build quality wasn't good so I didn't get another set. I would not buy these again and have considered returning them.

Les qualités de ce casque dépassent largement le prix qui est proposé. L'annulation du bruit extérieur est maximum. Il se connecte rapidement. Il est supra auriculaire et confortable à porter. L'appli propose plusieurs fonctions dont l'égaliseur de son. J'ai couru avec, la connexion est stable. Merci.

I’ve been using the Edifier W830NB headphones for a while now. For anyone considering a pair of wireless, noise-cancelling headphones that strike the perfect balance of performance and value, these are definitely worth a look at. First, the standout feature is the impressive Active Noise Cancelling (ANC). The -45 dB ANC capability, ideal for use on a plane, in a coffee shop, or commuting. I can finally enjoy music etc without background distractions. The sound quality itself is excellent too, with clear highs, rich mids, and deep bass that doesn’t feel overwhelming. Battery life is another area where these headphones shine. With up to 94 hours of playtime, depending on use, ie noise cancelling will reduce this, as expected. This makes them especially handy for long haul flights—no more stressing about finding a charging port! They’re also super comfortable. The over-ear design, combined with plush cushioning, makes these headphones easy to wear for hours on end without any discomfort, the fit is secure yet gentle. Portability is a bonus as well. Despite their over-ear design, they fold up compactly, so they’re easy to stow away in a carry-on or backpack. They’re durable yet lightweight, making them a solid choice for travel. Lastly, the price was incredibly competitive for what you’re getting. It’s rare to find headphones with this level of sound quality, ANC, and battery life without spending a small fortune. If you’re looking for premium features at a reasonable price point, I would highly recommend looking at the Edifier W830NB, headphones.

La mia postazione pc ha già due Edifier come monitor comandate tramite DAC da diversi anni e sono molto soddisfatto del prodotto e del marchio, così ho voluto provare le loro cuffie wireless viste le specifiche sulla carta molto buone. Fin'ora ho sempre utilizzato cuffie a filo di marchi top di gamma quali AKG, Sennheiser, Focusrite, ecc ma con la mia ultima configurazione ho voluto provare qualcosa di senza fili per comodità di non avere un cavo sulla scrivania. Mi sono rivolto a queste attirato da un'offerta orientandomi a questo modello con cancellazione del rumore attivo ed audio Hi-Res. Le cuffie arrivano a casa in confezione con il cavo di ricarica usb-c ed un manuale, manca una custodia per il trasporto, ma nel mio caso non è un problema. Il formato è classico over ear, con archetto regolabile e cuscinetto molto morbido, i padiglioni sono generosi ma non eccessivamente grandi, con rivestimento confortevole in simil-pelle. I comandi sono tutti sul lato inferiore della parte destra con tutte le funzioni di accensione/spegnimento, volume, modalità di cancellazione del rumore, cambio traccia e risposta telefonica. Addirittura si possono connettere due dispositivi e selezionare il passaggio da uno all'altro. Anche la porta usb-c di ricarica si trova da questo lato così come un semplice led di stato. Lungo il profilo dei padigioni e sulla loro parte esterna sono posizionati i vari microfoni per il rilevamento dei rumori, per il resto il design è molto pulito ed elegante. i driver sono da 40mm e riproducono un suono molto pulito, qualitativo ed equilibrato, soprattutto se si riproduce musica con codec LDAC. La riduzione del rumore è ben fatta, rileva e copre bene i suoni fino a 45dB, nella mia postazione pc non mi fa avvertire alcun rumore sia delle ventole del pc che i lievi rumori della stanza, ma anche sufficientemente per limitare quello dell'aspirapolvere. Con la modalità spenta i padiglioni over ear comunque riducono già bene i suoni, ma consente di sentire eventuali persone che ci parlano. La parte però più sorprendente è la durata della batteria, veramente eterna, tantissime ore e si ricaricano in poco più di un'ora e mezza. Gli unici punti a sfavore a mio avviso sono i tasti in gomma, si trovano bene al tatto ma avrei preferito qualcosa di più pulito ed elegante. Altra cosa la finitura satinata è bellissima alla vista ma rimangono tantissime impronte perchè non è oleofobica, il che fa un po' storcere il naso, ovviamente sulla colorazione scura, su quelle bianche non credo si noti il problema. Infine alcuni lamentano lo spessore dei padiglioni, superiore alla media, ma nel mio caso non è un problema, anzi se consentono l'autonomia infinita ben vengano! Oltretutto sono pieghevoli oltre che rotanti i due padiglioni per poter riporre le cuffie in uno spazio più compatto, con uno spessore poco maggiore rispetto all'archetto. In definitiva sono molto soddisfatto del prodotto, soprattutto della durata anche con cancellazione attiva, il peso non lo avverto quasi e la qualità audio che è la più importante è più che soddisfacente. Il prezzo non è elevato, anche paragonato a modelli maggiori della stessa Edifier che offrono poco di più, per cui ottimi rapporto qualita', veramente consigliate per chi cerca un paio di cuffie over ear wireless.

Bon rapport qualité prix. Réglé sur les basses profondes, le son est très bon. Un petit bémol pour les aigus un peu sibyllins, rien de rédibitoire. La batterie possède une grande capacité qui donne au casque une autonomie incroyable. Je porte des lunettes et des prothèses auditives (minirite). Aucun problème de larsène. Les coussins entourent bien les lobes d'oreilles et je peux porter le casque longtemps, confortablement. L'appli est bien conçue mais l'égaliseur est peu efficace. Cela ne me dérange pas. Je reste au réglage basses profondes. Très satisfait de mon achat.

Good headphones, exactly as expected
