What Buyers Say
Edifier WH950NB
62 out of 100 low confidence 6 reviews
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.
