- Edifier NeoBuds S (vs NeoBuds Pro) | InsideTech Review.
Edifier has just released a brand new pair of earbuds: the NeoBuds S. And these probably look familiar because they have an almost identical design to the popular NeoBuds Pro that we reviewed a few months back. If you look at the spec sheet, you’ll see that the feature set is extremely similar, but these lose one of the Pro’s best features and yet…these are much more expensive. So the question on my mind is: why has Edifier released these?
In this review we’ll compare the NeoBuds S and Pro side by side, I’ll explain everything that’s new, whether or not these fix the issues I addressed with the NeoBuds Pro. And we’ll be finding out which pair you should actually buy.

Good production values. Thanks for covering this with an in depth review. Its only unfortunate this doesnt have that many views
Thank you! It’s okay, I knew it wouldn’t be a hugely popular product to feature, I just found it interesting
Oh yeah i was wondering are there any earbuds that have tracking features? I lost my last earbuds like this because i couldnt find the case anymore (fyi the earbuds themselves had a sort of tracking but the case didnt so i lost the case :/) apart from that great vid :p i love the little detail you put in and the list of pro's and cons!
Typically, no. The bluetooth connection is made with the earbuds and not the case itself, so unless at least one of the earbuds is still inside then you normally can't track the case on its own
Great in depth review. I have several pair of wireless earbuds and I think the Neobuds Pro is one of the best around the $100 range & highly recommended. Solid overall pair of earbuds
Thank you! Yes the NeoBuds Pro are awesome. Not without their flaws, like all earbuds. But insane value for money, especially with sound quality 🔥
Does anc work on windy day day or at beach?
There is a wind reduction mode, but the ANC isn’t as powerful with it turned on. So they’re good for windy environments but not great
Im blessed to find this channel, guess ill watch all the vids to buy the best earbuds :p
Thank you! I have a few videos that feature multiple earbuds at once that might be useful for you! A couple of newer ones from this year are for the best earbuds on the market, and another for the best earbuds under $100 👍🏼
@@insidetechltd yeah it was rlly helpfull thx
@@insidetechltd i liked the samsung x1000 or somethin a lot
Thank you for this comparison. I bought the Pro model a few days ago and they will arrive today. When I saw the S model, I was kind of worried that if I had made the wrong choice but thanks to your video, I am happy that I bought the Pro model. I can not wait to try them out.
By the way, I am an iPhone user so I will only be able to benefit from the AAC codec as long as I listen to music on my phone. Is there a significant difference between AAC and LHDC/LDAC or do they still sound good enough with the AAC codec?
Thanks for watching! You made a good choice, don't worry.
The earbud design, drivers, tuning etc is ALWAYS more important than the codec. So even iPhone users will get most of the benefits of the sound design from the earbuds (you can just take this a tiny bit further with the high end codecs). Don't forget that in this audiophile territory, the majority of the information that is retained by those high end codecs is actually outside of the typical human hearing range (this is why lots of people say they can't hear a difference).
I've simplified this a lot for the sake of keeping the comment concise, but in short: they absolutely still sound good enough with AAC on an iPhone!
@@insidetechltd Thank you a lot again. I feel much better for making this choice now. You’ve earned a subscriber. ^.^
Ah that's great to hear - it's the reason I do this! 🙌🏼
Hi, thanks for the great review. I'm using an iPhone and I cannot decide between Edifier NeoBuds Pro, Anker Soundcore Liberty 3pro, Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro and JBL Libe Pro2.
My priorities are sound quality and ANC respectively.
I'd say Soundcore's Liberty 3 Pro are the best for those aspects (they need a little tweaking in the app to lower the treble) but the app is great and features easy to use. Some people find they don't fit very well, so NeoBuds Pro would be a runner up here (more universal/comfortable fit). The app is a pain though and the EQ is rubbish. Good sound and ANC though, like the L3P.
The other two earbuds are not on the same level 👍🏼
Hi and I hope you can answer this. I have choice of Edifier W240TN, Neobuds Pro, NB2 Pro and JBL Tune 125TWS.
I prioritize Sound Quality and Build Quality over features.
Which would you recommend to me.
I highly value your opinion as I've never tried any of these on
I would go with the NeoBuds Pro out of those - sound quality being the main factor there 👍🏼
Hi, did your phone or tablet have LDAC and LHDC cod features when you did this test? My phone is Samsung A50, it doesn't have this code feature but I still want to get it. I don't know how the result will be
Yes. I got a phone in specifically to test all the codecs
In Thailand is also only $5 more for the S version... I'm coming from the liberty 3 pro I liked the sound very much and the fit... But I like making calls when walking outside everyone complained about they could not hear me well... I also have the samsung buds 2 which I have the same issue with... They were bith fine inside in quite conditions. Am I making the right choice? I'm using a snapdragon version of the s22 ultra.. Many thanks
Honestly, I don't think any earbuds are great for talking outside - people might struggle to hear you with any pair of earbuds. The environment might be the issue rather than the earbuds. However you might get lucky and find one that is much better for your use case.
I personally don't think NeoBuds S are significantly better than Liberty 3 Pro or Buds 2 - but they do have a stem design that places the mic closer to your mouth, so they might be better because of that
I just dive deeper and found out that I already watched this great video 😆. Do you think edifier buds Pro still worth it to buy nowadays?
Thank you! I think there are probably some better options nowadays. But actually Edifier just announced the NeoBuds Pro 2! So they might be worth checking out, and they also might make the older models even cheaper!
Could you do the JBL earbuds next? I'd really like to know which one offers the best value. (I had one but lost it and i dont know the name of the earbud itself since it was a present, so thats why i want to know which one i should buy :p)
There are some really good JBL earbuds that feature in my “best earbuds under $100”. I really like those so you might wanna check that out!
@@insidetechltd yeah i saw the vid thx a lot! :]
Does NeoBuds S has in ear detection ? Because NeoBuds pro doesn't support that
No it doesn’t
Are there any competitors in this price range when it comes to the ANC performance?
Yes, loads! Jabra, Soundcore, Samsung, Sony...lots of great options in and around this price range
@@insidetechltd which Soudcore model in particular? Thank you
The best for ANC right now is actually the new Space A40 - I reviewed them on the channel quite recently. Not their flagship or most expensive earbuds, but the Space series focussed specifically on battery life and noise cancelling. It’s good!
I appreciate your review but I think you missed one of the key upgrades of snapdragon sound over ldac: maximum stable bitrate. Most Android phones default to 660kbps or 330kbps for ldac and they do so for good reason, they can't maintain a stable 990kbps connection. At 660kbps ldac has little quality advantage over other codecs and at 330kbps it is inferior to even the baseline sbc codec.
Thank you. I did mention the stability and how this is a benefit vs LDAC - apologies if this wasn't made more clear though! I think ultimately my point is how few phones support Snapdragon Sound. It's all well and good potentially being better than LDAC but...not if your phone doesn't support it!
*Edit: I'd also add that you can't select a specific high bit rate with Snapdragon Sound, so you don't actually know how if the maximum bit rate you're getting is higher. At least with LDAC you can manually select and force those higher settings - though I completely agree, they aren't stable at all
@@insidetechltd I should have worded that differently, I feel like there should have been more emphasis on how ldac in the real world completely fails to deliver on it's promises.
As for handset support I think Qualcomm should have worked to get it's technology baked into the Bluetooth standard and accepted lower licensing fees.
How does the ANC on these compare to the 1More Evo?
Sorry for the delayed response, i've been away. So I just got these back out and did some testing: the EVO ANC is a bit stronger overall 👌🏼
@@insidetechltd awesome, thanks a bunch. I really appreciate it, I’m looking forward to seeing your take on the Galaxy buds 2 pro as well. Keep up the great work. I love your channel.
I was confused about the S model when I came across these recently. What a weird choice by Edifier. Not only is it lacking, it also is confusing to the consumer
Absolutely
Which one has better bass performance?
NeoBuds S, slightly
Thx for headup
You’re welcome!
Which one has the best ANC, the neobuds or the airpods pro?
XM4
@@seancheng3687 no no, i know that the xm4 and the Bose QC are better. I was wondering between these two (neobuds pro and airpods pro)
@@lorenzodalsavio if you have an iphone youre better off with airpods pro
@@lorenzodalsavio oic, im using AirPods pro for my daily driver and im pretty happy with it's anc. I dont think a £100 earbuds can beat it
@@lorenzodalsavio but im just guessing
Got my Neobuds pro for 110sgd recently via Lazada sg. Worth the price for me. I came from haylou w1.
Nice 🔥
How's the sound quality compare to Haylou W1?
I have Neobuds Pro and it's a solid choice for the price.
if someone was to want Snapdragon Sound, you can get the Black Shark Joybuds Pro for more than half the price of the Neobuds S.
Nice 👍🏼
The problem is that simply having Snapdragon Sound isn't enough, it's about the actual earbud performance too (drivers, acoustic chamber etc). But i've pointed out the main issue with it anyway 😅
This vs airpods pro who win what do you think
If you mean AirPods Pro 2, then they beat NeoBuds
@@insidetechltd no i meant the first gen what do you think should i buy it
It depends what you want them for. If it's sound quality, then no. NeoBuds sound better. But AirPods have great connectivity with iPhones if that's appealing to you
Neobuds pro or xiaomi flipbuds pro better?
I've not tested the flipbuds pro yet, sorry!
Can you review it please.i'm kinda confused on which to buy betweeen edifier and and xiaomi.the price is about the same in where i live.thank. you :)
If I get time, sure! My schedule is pretty crazy though! 😬
I really hope you do it hehe.Btw I felt happy enough just seeing you reply to my comments tahnk you :D
I'm gonna miss the days my comments get actualy answered :')
this or Souncore Liberty 3 pro?
It really depends on what you're after. I think these have a more comfortable fit and slightly better sound quality by default (you need to EQ the L3P first). But basically everything else is better with the Soundcore earbuds: controls, features, battery, app experience...all much better!
Where I live, the Neobuds S are only $4 USD more expensive than the Neobuds Pro. $88 USD vs $92 USD.
I think it's a no-brainer for the Neobuds S.
For that price difference, yeah I guess so!
Did it work out... I heard it's quiter. How are you enjoying it
why would anyone buy these?
Honestly...I don't know...
LOL for both of you
