Edifier Active Noise Cancelling

92 hours of battery and genuinely great sound for $170. Just don't expect premium build quality or crystal-clear calls.

The 40mm titanium-coated drivers are the real deal. Sound lands in the 94th percentile in our database, which puts these right up there with headphones costing significantly more. LDAC support means Android users get the good stuff, and the hybrid ANC blocking up to -45dB is no slouch either. But the mic performance is the weak spot at 67th percentile. Fine for a quick call, not great for important meetings. And build quality sits at 35th percentile, so treat them with a little care.

Against the Sony ULT WEAR, the Edifier wins on battery life and sound quality, but Sony has better build quality and brand trust. The Sennheiser MOMENTUM M5AEBT will sound better and feel more premium, but you'll pay a lot more. The JBL Tune 670NC is cheaper but can't touch the Edifier's battery or ANC performance. For pure value, the Edifier sits in a sweet spot between budget and flagship.

At $170 USD, these are a strong value if battery life and sound quality are your top priorities. You're getting flagship-level audio and ANC endurance for mid-range money. But if you need something that feels premium in hand or you take a lot of calls, you might want to look elsewhere.

The Edifier Active Noise Cancelling headphones are a battery life monster with genuinely good sound, and that's the headline here. 92 hours with ANC off is absurd, and even 53 hours with ANC on outlasts most of the competition by a wide margin. You're getting Hi-Res Audio with LDAC, solid hybrid ANC, and a comfortable fit for around $170 USD. The catch? Build quality feels a step behind the big names, and call quality is just okay.

If you're looking for a premium-feeling headphone with excellent call quality, this isn't it. Go grab the Sony ULT WEAR or spend up for the Sennheiser MOMENTUM instead. The Edifier is for people who want maximum battery and great sound without paying flagship prices.

If you want headphones that sound great and basically never need charging, the Edifier Active Noise Cancelling headphones are an easy recommendation. Just don't expect them to feel like a $300 pair, and don't plan on using them for important calls. For commuters, travelers, and office workers who prioritize audio and battery over everything else, these are a fantastic buy.
