EdifierW820NB Plus Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones - LDAC Codec - Hi-Res Audio Wireless & Wired - Fast Charge - 49H Playtime - Over Ear Bluetooth V5.2 Headphones- BlackClimatePartner certified

I am a long time headphone tone chaser.Comfort is great with a firm but not too firm clamp. Earpads are thin to the point of ears touching the fabric.Might try some aftermarket pads to open the soundstage.Audio is a Beats familiar low end not muddy. High end is crisp and hi hats open and close without distortion.Mids are fine and vocals articulate.ANC was good enough to block white noiseFor the price these are a great buy.

I love how comfortably these headphones are made. The earpads are wide enough my ears fit inside so if I end up falling asleep with them on - I don't wake up with a migraine and ear pain. Furthermore, the cushion around the ear helps to filter out background noise which adds to the noise-cancelling feature. The cushion at the top of the headset also fits nicely and doesnt cause a dent with long-term use. My other headphones are supposed to be higher quality, they are heavier and I can only wear them for no longer than a couple hours. These ones I have LITERALLY fallen asleep in and woken up with no indentations, and no pain. The battery life is great as well! they are sitting at 40% right now, I have not charged them yet since I pulled them out of the box - so they have been on for a full 8-9 hours each night, plus roughly 2-4 hours a day depending on my work requirements. They are pretty easy to switch between devices, you just hold down the "on" button for roughly six seconds when turning them on. it skips pairing with the last device you connected them to and allows you to pair with another. Definitly recommend. connected to my phone I can use the app that comes recommended with it and turn the noise cancelling on and off, include background noise like rain, waves etc. and change how I hear music by switching from classical, to rock, to pop and a few others.

I've been using these headphones for 7 months now, and they’ve held up really well. The sound quality is great, and they work just fine for everyday use. I'm giving 4 stars because when I'm riding in a car and listening to music, there's a quick burst of static whenever the car hits a bump.

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.

Better than expected. Not cute.
