Edifier ES850NB Hi-Res LDAC ANC Headphones Review

The Edifier ES850NB Hi-Res LDAC ANC headphones come in a sleek design with a premium feel. The matte finish and durable build quality making them comfortble to wear for hours on end.  Comfort is a standout feature; the headphones are lightweight and feature plush, skin-friendly leather ear cushions and a well-padded headband and they also fold up and comes with a secure travel case to protect when not in use.

Audio 

Equipped with 40mm titanium-coated drivers and certified for Hi-Res Audio, the ES850NB headphones deliver a surprisingly balanced and detailed sound profile and with the ConneX App you have control. The support for LDAC, AAC, and SBC codecs ensures high-quality wireless audio transmission. The sound is great and expected from the brand no lag latency no tinny sound and super highs lows and mids noted with crisp clean audio and great bass and sounded much better than some recent more expensive headphones I have here for testing. The buttons are small however tactile and work well.

ANC

The ANC performance is a great feature on the ES850NB. With a rating of up to -45db, indoors you can not hear a thing and mostly the same outdoors. The headphones also include versatile ANC modes, including a wind reduction setting for outdoor use and a handy “Touch-to-Chat” function that instantly switches to ambient sound mode, allowing you to quickly hear your surroundings without removing the headphones.

Battery Life and Connectivity

The battery life of the Edifier ES850NB is excellent. Edifier claims up to 92 hours of playback with ANC off and 53 hours with ANC on. In real-world use, this translates to weeks of use on a single charge for most users. Battery life on a regular scale will vary per user and their settings as is always the case but overall you would get a week on average.

Conclusion

The Edifier ES850NB headphones are super and delivers premium features at a mid-range price. They offer a winning combination of excellent comfort, balanced sound quality, and powerful ANC. They certainly put it up to other leading brands but cost less including a travel case, low-latency game mode, and multipoint connectivity and a companion app make them a great choice. For anyone looking for a high-quality audio experience without breaking the bank, the ES850NB is a highly recommended and well-rounded option.

TOZO NC3 ANC Earbuds Review

The TOZO NC3 ANC are their latest earbuds now on offer and at an affordable price too but do they lack in the audio department? The answer is no and for the price these should be on your radar for those on a budget and who want that bit more that others offer.

The earbuds are your typical design and fit well in the ears they are clean and to the point and once the right tips are on you will have a good seal and good passive noise isolation. The case they come in is also cool with an LED display giving you a heads up on your battery status on the fly.

When it comes to features there is plenty to talk about, for the audio there is 12mm drivers that pack a punch with decent volume to be had and you also have ANC built in up to 45db which is not shabby at the price point here. The ANC works well too,not only this you have other modes to pick from to make them an all round pair of earbuds for anybody and not just a sports enthusiast.

You have transparency mode leisure mode normal mode and wind reduction mode which also works well on calls with 6 mics and ENC noise cancelling on my testing no real issues noted both ends and calls clear. The optional modes also allows you to hear your surroundings if out walking or jogging etc and they can be worn in the gym.

The audio is excellent once again and with the TOZO app you are in control with all the features on board such as the several EQ options plus you can create your own which is great, not only that there is the option to customize your earbuds to your liking with access to your voice assistant and I have test both on Android and iOS and no issues to report.

Battery life is also decent with up to 55 hours however this will vary per user and their settings as with any earbuds on the market that offer all these features if you are low on juice ten minutes will give you an hour of play.

With an iP rating slated at IPX8 these are perfect for the outdoors the gym and more without having to worry about them getting damaged and if you happen to misplace an earbud you can use find my earbuds via bluetooth so overall a pretty good pair of earbuds that do not disappoint with audio despite the cost, check out the video review below for more.
