#Edifier #WH950NB #Headphones
Having used several budget earbuds from Soundpeats, Anker(Soundcore), 1More, and Edifier, I consistently come to the conclusion that Edifier has the brightest tuning with better clarity and tighter bass translating to the widest soundstage and best instrument separation. Anker has a stronger bass that still stays focused but not the best high frequency audio while Soundpeats usually have a deeper albeit mushier bass and murky mid range. 1More is similar to Edifier with good focus and balance but less agile making them sound slow or delayed when directly compared to Edifiers. If I were making comparisons to "major" brands, Edifiers actually sound like AKG or B&Os, Anker has some similarities with Bose and Sony, Soundpeats are kinda like Dr. Dre or any other pop focused brand and I guess that makes 1More the Sennheisers of budget earphones.
Thanks for making this comment. It will help me a lot.
@@simba9103: look at cleer alpha too and supsoo...
@@Christopher-nl2kbI bought both the Cleer alpha and the WH950NB during christmas
The Cleer alphas spatial audio doesn't surprise me, the Edifier sounds more spatious, while the Cleer feels more squished together even with spatial audio
The signature of the Cleer alpha is warm, and it's nice for neutral wired listening, after Eq'ing for a bit, they still sound warm
The Edifier sounds more clear and more detailed in wireless mode, and are overall more comfortable and lighter, while the Cleer is better built but squeezes your head a bit
The noise cancelling feels like a Tie between the two, I'd say the cleers win in this category
The Edifier, for being cheaper, sounds better, are more comfortable, and has better sound staging, while the Cleer has better build, but are heavy, and noise cancelling
Hi, what do you think about the guided eq settings from Soundcore? Can you have the same results with Edifier even if you understand nothing about eq?
@@andrea5101 i've had both. Edifier is better in every setting.
Wow, this are actually close to perfection! Google fast pair is underrated IMO, and honestly multipoint connection should be standard in headphones.For the price you are getting a really good value, good for Edifier, aiming at the big guys.
Having used these headphones for a week, I can happily say that the ANC works superbly in the gym for those who like to block out sound, nothing gets past them in that environment. The overall sound quality of them is brilliant, Ive never used any premium headphones before but I don't know what could be better. The free app is a great companion to tune the sound to your liking. No complaints so far😊
How are them in the gym, confort, sweat and those things?
I want to know too! I guess I'll have to constantly wipe the sweat out to protect the foam.
@@HarryPotter-kz6kl Hating is funny when is dumb
@@HarryPotter-kz6kl like 90% of the people in the gym wear headphones 👍
@@HarryPotter-kz6kl no i mean headphones like skullcrusher and Sony ch520, inclusive airpods max reps haha
I'm testing out these headphones right now and they're incredible. The comfort and sound quality of the music are so good for the price. The ANC is at Bose level, but it's better than most $250.00 and below headphones that's for sure.
How do you feel about the volume level? Some say it's not loud enough. Could you install a volume booster and see if it works please?
Hopefully we'll start seeing Edifier implement multi-point in their earbuds.
That would be nice
wh230tn seems support mult point
These look pretty dope.
El Jeffer 💪
Need u to check it out asap
Esperando Review de MERO JEFE
@@Fallen21310 esperando que Edifier me los manden. Se andan tardando.
Worth the price
Dope review for these Edifiers as I'm looking for an upgrade from their W820NB, which were disappointing in terms of volume and bass. Sounds like they upped their game as expected!!
I using w820nb… I feel it’s already dope (but don’t really into anc n ambient) yet if this was the upgrade version of it I think it gonna be the best headphone I ever had hahahahha (yet I broke)
@@idilikhwanmohamad I think it's gonna be worth the upgrade for sure!
They changed the name as it was actually announced in China last fall as the Edifier W860NB Pro which didn't really make much sense as those are an entirely different older headphone. I'm curious how they compare to the Soundcore Q45.
yeaa exactly that types of comparison they rarely anymore even if they actually own the device and people are curious abt it
These look real nice.
This is what I wished the W820NB headsets would've been like.
The 820nb is like 50 bucks
👀
Don’t you want the company to survive
@@damifash758 I like Edifier alot. I just like the style of both but I couldn't do the all plastic build material of the W820NB headsets. These new WH950NB seem real nice tho. Decent price too.
@@jrod8574 meanwhile in Malaysia the price difference almost bout rm500
@@idilikhwanmohamad yeah prices around the world are so different and strange.
Just purchased these partially because of your review!! And i picked a great time to purchase them - they're on sale for 20% off on Amazon right now!! ($145 usd instead of $180)
Thanks for the help in finding my new headphones! My wife has the qc45s and , honestly, I liked my soundcore q20s more due to the sound quality sounding more "rich" (I feel like the 45s are kind of bland sounding no matter what music genre or equalizer settings I choose).
Here's to hoping I like them a lot more than the q20s, considering they're almost twice as expensive!!
How was it compared to sound core?
Hi, how they play? Is these have a good sound, bass and ANC for the price? whats your opinion after 3month? Thank u in advice for asnwer :)
last time i bought edifier w820nb plus,i was disappointed because of the volume,it was quite low compared to same priced headphones like anker soundcore life q20+,now i'm planning to buy the edifier w950nb,does this headphone has the same "low volume" issue like edifier w820nb plus??
Every brand should take notes on Edifier's battery backups and solutions on headphones, I have a WB820 and it can last for weeks sometimes
Wow

To be honest with you I didn’t know that Edifier made headphones I thought they made speakers. They sound like a very good pair of reasonably priced headphones. Thank you for the information.😊
Your voice sounded really good for the microphone on em
Did they sound loud? have sufficient volume, baches this s the problems with wireless headphones most of them don't have a good amplifier to save battery life.
Always loved your reviews. Thanks so much for all the work that you put in to these. Very much appreciated.
Thanks a lot for the review! Answered many questions - now you can order. We look forward to more informative reviews of the same level, good luck to you!
Looking at this review and the features, I find it unacceptable that my Bose QC45 doesn't have the option to set the ANC level or a way to turn off the ANC without having to go in "Ambient/Aware" mode. Bose really let me down.
Very intriguing. Is there a volume ceiling like their W240TN earbuds have? Which was its only drawback for me
You can turn it on in the app if you want, but I believe it's off by default.
At that price it's definitely tempting my partner likes my xm4s I can't really afford a second pair with what's going on recently but these look like a great affordable alternative
did you end up buying them? can i ask for a little review if so
Is great that we don't have to pay $300 and up anymore for premium NC headphones, not saying this will top the Audiophile headphones or anything like that but it will satisfy many people's needs, I can't stand the QC45s, the WH-1000XM4s and the Momentum 4 even if they are my favorite right now I still have some complaints, I bet this will beat all of those expensive headphones in sound and convenience depending on the people's needs.
How do these cans sound wired as opposed to Bluetooth LDAC?
For some reason none is answering this question. But I saw a video that said when in aux it downgrades sound quite a bit. They go passive? And all features are lost. Only saw from one source but they were a legit source.
Interesting! Thank you for sharing.
When you said Soundcore, did you mean Q45? If not, then would like to know the comparison with that as that is widely popular in the same range!
Awesome review. Thank you for bringing to my attention. Might pick these up.
Amazing review..... to Home Office, the microphone it is possible to mute through app? I will use in my laptop with Microsoft Windows with Teams and Zoom and If have this option through app will be nice for my meetings. I have one Edifier 820NB and is amazing and it is working well until now, but is very simple when compare with new version.
Regards.
Brilliant review! Excellent work Gamesky. I'm ne be sticking around and subscribe
I wish they make a slightly expensive version with Spatial sound and go against air pro max instead of competing with Sony or bose and give a new design cus personally i had pick these over bose qc45 anyday
Great review.
I have the Edifier W830BTs and they mechanically squeak and groan when I pick them up by the ear muffs to put them on. Even when they are on, if I move my jaw enough I can get them to creak. I see the WH950NBs have a similar mechanical attachment of the head band to the ear muffs. So the question is are you hearing any excessive mechanical noise from the WH950NBs when handling them?
Those look more like the WH-1000XM5's than the actual XM5's. What I mean by that is they look a lot more like a successor to the 1000XM4's than the real XM5's do. I expect the edifiers to sound better than the sonys. The sony's atleast my pair sound particularly boomy. Honestly to much bass, makes them super fun but they are really nothing to write home about in terms of sound quality. However, Sony's noise canceling is still the best I've heard and I feel like it would take a pretty big brand to catch up to Sony/Bose/Apple in terms of noise cancelation. Only reason apple could play catchup (mind you they aren't quite as good on the over ear space) is because they have substantially more money to throw at it.
I have the Bowers and Wilson px2
7. They are REALLY good!
Gamesky how would ya compare sound on these vs sound core space 45?
I saw these on Ali just the other day. The page mentioned just LDAC and SBC. No AAC whatsoever
Just decided on these instead of the Space Q45 based on your video. Thanks a lot, Gamesky!

Looks stunning. Have you tried edifier stax spirit s3? I haven't but curious
Those edifiers look savage. Still rocking my xb900n set , these could be my next set.
yooo ive had my xb900's since April 2020 still going strong!! I'm looking to upgrade too..I tried the Soundcore Life Q35 so far but I retuned them because nothing can compare to the bass on the 900n

The most important question is what codecs they are support like LDAC , aptX HD.
What coded have you used to test music ...
How it sound compare to the edifier stax s3, i have the s3 but it kind of big, sometimes the bass is not punchy enough
Practical question - if you fall asleep while wearing it, will you be able to hear your alarm? I mean, it plays "inside"? Or isolation turns off when not used for x minutes?
I'm not really a headphone user but I would love to try this on 😅
Does the app allow you to customise the EQ? Or is it presets only?
It does allow you to set your own EQ. It's a shame this guy skimmed over that in the video.
Great review, going to have to give these a try 👍
How do the compare to the Bose QC45 and Sennheiser Momentum 4 ?
In my country this can be had for $89. If it sounds as good as the Sony XM5, I guess it's a steal.
How would you compare these to the sound core Q45
Nice review. Can someone who owns these confirm whether the ANC is available when using the 3.5mm wired connection please? i.e. when watching inflight movies on a plane.
Let the Competition begin !!! Affiliate Link would be nice but I will eventually figure out where and how to order them !!!
Can't find a reason to upgrade from my soundcore life q35. Heck, it doesn't even look like an upgrade and they are $60 more.
I have a Stax Spirit S3. Is this better or worse in terms of audio quality?
Would love to see Earfun make an ANC headphone to compete in this segment
This is edifier it goes on sale to 120 usd. crazy at that price point.
This or the xm3s? Theyre priced close here in the PH
features are ok but not competitive price wise against Sony XM4s & 1more Sonoflow... comparing this to 1more Sonoflow (half the price for this Edifier), makes it less attractive
They have that little bronze oval both sony Xm series headphones have aaaaand use Wh in the name. Not a bad line to copy.
hm since I prioritize anc which headphone should I buy the sony xb910n or the edifier wh950nb?
Wh950nb has better nc, but more of a "cabin pressure" feeling similar to the xm4s if you're sensitive to that.
Love that this year seems to be the year ldac takes off
Impressive review comparing or better to 1more Sonoflow. Where can I buy this? Thanks
id like to know too as well as comparing them to soundcore space q45 too? all the same price. Any thoughts @gamesky
Can you review the Monster N-Lite Clear Talk wireless earbuds, they are on amazon on sale for $39.99 with a retail price of $89.99 and I want to know if they are worth it.
Lolol. If you're using these in a restaurant then you're doing it wrong! Hee! Hee! Thanks for the video.
for wired gaming, buy this or edifier spirit s3 STAX?
Hello mate,is it the first one or Plus? Thanks
Are these gym certified? Swear resistant and or replaceable ear cushions.
Can you compare them to the space q45?
These or skullcandy at the same price point
?
do you think that the W820NB PLUS earpad can fit with the WH950NB? Just in case i need to replace the earpads

According to you and your sound taste, what is the better option between this and the soundcore space Q45? @gamesky
do they need to be charged when used with the cable?
How they do better than the Edifier stax Spirit s3, which I've got. They sound great and battery is great. But buttons are terrible. Takes 14sex pressing now to turn them off (quicker to insert the 3.5mm cable and take it out-that causes the headphones to turn off). App is terrible. Even when the headphone is Bluetooth connected to my phone the app won't recognise something is attached most of the time which makes different audio options in the app pointless (an app update would have been nice, though it does seem to take more liberties with data than some headphone apps). The app started sending out spam in Chinese. And the widget doesn't appear to most of the time. Call quality is ok as long as you're in anywhere with any slight wind.
But if you're sat still, don't mind the earpads, are happy to leave them switched on and don't want to switch between the different modes then the stax spirit s3 sound good. It's put me off any Edifier products.
Is the plastic squeaky? 820 is very very squeaky
Do you know where to buy an earpads on this one? Because i cant find one with the clips, i only found one and it doesn't have clips on it so im not sure if you need to remove the clips on the stock earpads first and put it on the new one
Aliexpress has them at the Edifier store
Does it support audio over USB C?
I'd rather get the Edifier Stax Spirit S3 tbh
I don't know if the problem is with my inept phone and its awful bluetooth quality, these give me terrible bass and sound quality. And the earpads are super uncomfortable. It's like you carry around a tank on your head.
They require a custom eq and ldac high res to realky shine. A phone with 5.2 and up BT and a decent DAC that can feed a clean signal helps also. Good encoded high res flac files help too. Do all that and they are awesome. My S22 Ultra works well and irs nearly 3 years old.
@@durazing it works great now even with the phone I have. But I'm thinking to get a Samsung s24 soon so we'll see.
For price is there anything better than this?
How much better are they than the prior version? Im looking into this company to purchase a product (buds anc phones , bt speaker) etc. any other suggestions.
I don't know how much better, but it's actually really close soundwise if not better than the Sony, the build quality is comparable, atleast to the Q45 and XM4, and the ANC comes close to those more than they're ever been
@@ezrapardede1921 ty
Gamesky ThanksMuch!
how's the Bass?
can I use this on my desktop pc?
Are the earpads exchangeable?
The product looks really good, but did Edifier change their app's privacy policy that asks for suspicious access that frankly has nothing to do with an audio product 🤔
I have xm4's. My girlfriend is always stealing them. I got here a pair of 1more snowflow's. The ANC is almost identical to my sony's. There's a sliggght difference in audio quality but for the $80 I would've just bought myself a pair of those to begin with
Hi Gamesky would love your thoughts on which is better. This or the XM5?
u didn't watch the video..?
I watched it but Gamesky doesn't directly compares them to the XM5 ?
Gamesky would love your thoughts on are these better or as good as the XM5?
@@teajeshwaaranand2418
He clearly said this(Edifier WH950NB) is NOT BETTER than those from Sony/Bose but it is also not BAD as half as the price.
i suggest u to re-watch the video.
Cool 👍
is this good to use for pc?
Soundcore , Edifier, Tribit, one more, soundpeats, devialet are better in sound quality
I would love to see this vs final audio ux3000
About the volume level??
Those look similar to my Sonoflows from 1More.
Can I connect it to ps5 controller?
They look nice. My question is what are the guidelines governing whether or not something is "HI-RES certified"? I feel like this is marketing jargon to bait the uninitiated and that there's not a lot of substance to such a certification. Moreover even if there is substance to the HiFi badge- such clarity in audio is severely compromised when using noise cancelling and or not being in a quiet environment to truly hear that clarity which I feel is the case for most consumers. Lastly why can't we just bring the damn cables back? 99% of these true wireless headphones are destined for the landfills within 5 years and will probably end up in Agbogbloshie or some other e waste dump filled with toxic gasses, chemicals, and people of all ages picking through our garbage or at least have EOL provisions to rid of our luxuries in a reasonable manner. If we can afford $200 headphones we can afford the extra $10 fee to have it responsibly processed. JS
Exactly, I’d certainly beware of that kind of description.
Especially since most people this is being marketed to won’t have the kind of sources where this makes sense, and the tuning of the headphones themselves may not be all that.
@@zugo-tg7125 not to mention most are in noisy environments that make it hard to appreciate good audio fidelity.
@@IncredibleJim Exactly. Anyone seriously invested in such quality will listen where it works, as well as know exactly what it is they ought to do.
Just google LDAC lol
Are the pads replaceable?
There needs to be more high quality anc headphones with AptX codecs like Final and etc. Edifier should've offered that here but they're following Soundcore in omitting that... because of laziness.
LDAC ONLY works on Android, whereas aptx is also supported on Windows.
Does SBC work on Windows? I have a bluetooth 5.0 adaptor plugged into a USB port.
wut? Windows 10 has only SBC. Windows 11 has SBC and AAC. If you're looking to use LDAC on the computer, consider making a dual boot with Fedora Linux.
you can still use them wired to get the best sq tho
Soundmagic p23bt next please?
These remind me of the sony 1000xm3 🤔
No custom EQ?
Soundcore life p3 or earfun free pro 2
