What Buyers Say
Edifier WH950NB
Overall, users find these headphones comfortable and good-sounding with decent noise cancellation, but several have reported fit issues where they slip off during exercise, Bluetooth connectivity problems, and a non-functional microphone when used with a wired cable. Battery life and noise cancellation are seen as inferior to some competitors, and the durability of the earcups has been questioned after a year of use. Despite a few highly positive reviews, the mixed feedback indicates a product with notable compromises.

- good noise cancellation
- decent Bluetooth performance
- multipoint pairing ability
Cons
- loose fit during exercise
- Bluetooth connectivity drops
- microphone fails with wired cable

Anker Soundcore Space D1402
The Soundcore Space 2 headphones have impressed users with their exceptional comfort, long battery life, and strong noise cancellation for the price. While the default sound profile may need EQ tweaking via the app, the overall audio quality, build, and features like multipoint and LDAC make them a great value. Minor drawbacks include warmth during long sessions and a lack of water resistance.
