Whether sitting back at home after a stressful day at work or watching your favorite tv show or movie while traveling abroad, comfort and quality of sound matter. There are currently an abundance of variations and options to choose from ranging from earbuds to over-the-ear headphones and prices vary greatly as well. Edifier is a Chinese company founded in 1996 and specializes in the design and manufacture of a wide range of premium sound devices. This is my review of the Edifier WH950NB Wireless Bluetooth headphones.

Performance
Pairing the headphones via Bluetooth was quick thanks to Google’s fast pairing technology. The headset is powered on by holding down the button between the plus and minus volume rockers. According to Edifier, you can get about 55 hours of battery life on a full charge and an additional 7 hours from a 10-minute charge thanks to fast charging technology.
Via the Edifier Connect app, you can choose between different sound profiles. I personally found the dynamic preset sounded best but there was an option to customize the sound settings to your liking. The sound quality was better than average with decent bass levels. I tested using a variety of music from hip-hop, rock, and country.
The headphones were especially comfortable during extended use sessions with the ear and headpieces having a pillow-like feel. The earpieces do a good job of not letting sound escape as well. I was able to watch movies on my smartphone while sitting next to my wife studying without disturbing her.
The headphones can also be paired with a second device. For instance, you can be watching a movie or listening to music paired to your PC and still receive calls via your smartphone. This headset also features 4 microphones with different levels of noise cancelation that worked quite well in windy situations.
Verdict, Price, and Availability
As of the time of writing this review, the headset is available for purchase in white and black variations on Edifier-online.com and Amazon.com for $179.99. While Edifier is a lesser-known brand that doesn’t mean it’s a lesser device.
When you consider similar performing headphones selling at almost twice the price it’s easy to see the value provided here. After testing this headset for about a week I’ve had no problems and quite enjoyed using them. If you are looking for premium headphones at half the price this device has everything you need.
