Edifier W260NC ANC Hi-Res audio earbuds review

The Edifier W260NC ANC Hi-Res audio earbuds have been in my ears some time now and it is time to tell you all about them with a super clean look and fit these have all the features expected and come with a cool finish on the case and earbuds.

As above the case is where we will start with that has a super finish to it and looks really well and above par in my opinion to the standard of cases we see today and it offers some grip too with the textured finish.

The earbuds are a standard affair and look familiar however these also have some of that textured finish that matches the case which is a nice touch they do look well and sit well in the ears and be sure to get the right tips for you for the optimum sound experience.

These are best used with Android devices and have all the features that you would expect from Edifier and that include Hi-Res audio and LDAC.

You have several noise cancelling controls which are High,Low Wind reduction and Ambient sound or just off making these perfect for indoors and outdoors and the ANC is good on these and so is the wind reduction on calls after testing it is Ireland we are not short of wind or bad weather.

The audio is great and of course expected from Edifier highs lows and mids all good no lag latency or tinny sound and several EQs to picks from such as Pop, Rockm Classical and Classic and even more if you choose to go the LDAC route you have different frequencies/ sampling rates and so on. On these earbuds you get a 10 mm woofer and a 6 mm tweeter in each earbud which pack a punch overall with good volume and clarity.

All your controls are present as expected and you can decide how they operate you can see more of that in the video below.

Overall again Edifier have delivered a feature packed pair of earbuds that look well and affordable and if you are in the market for something new you should put them on your list.

Tech Review – HiFiMan Svanar Wireless Jr earbuds

The HiFiMan Svanar Wireless Jr earbuds are lets say their entry level of the series to their product portfolio with an unusual shape and case to boot these are quite a different take on earbuds but worth it in the end.W

With the case having a different shape to most again their design elements stand out like their earbuds on looks alone and I like this, I am known for my liking to quirky looking cases and earbuds but this is great it takes you away from an industry norm and the stand out and grab attention.

Does this take away from the brands key element though? Not at all and with no companion app either these are certainly ones to look at if you are an audiophile on a budget as now they are on sale.

The earbuds themselves are on the larger side and really built well and look great, everyone’s ears are different and even I struggle to get them on but with the comply foam tips that changed and I got a snug secure fit giving nme decent passive noise isolation out of the box.

The sound here is magnificent giving there is no app at all here and just three settings on the earbuds to control the ANC transparency and High Fidelity, these are noticeable too and not to be ignored and also ensure on your smartphone you active LDAC as you will miss out. Movies music and gaming is excellent here too and you will  not be disappointed no matter the source used with these in your ears.

There is no lag latency either or tinny sound when maxed out the volume is loud the audio is crisp and clean picking up symbols and a slight hint of other background sounds no matter the genre.

HIFIMAN Topology Diaphragm The “Topology Diaphragm” refers to a diaphragm that features a special Nano particle coating applied to its surface. The result is a more natural and detailed sound than what is typically achieved with True Wireless earphones.

Call quality is also fine here with no issues and you also have a decent battery life on board which is up to 32hrs which will vary per user and their settings. The controls work well although missing volume control and have all the other features as expected such as call control, skip/reverse tracks and voice assistant.

Overall if you want high fidelity audio on a next level and the pricepoint these should be on your radar with the level of technology given here.

  • HIFIMAN Topology Diaphragm The “Topology Diaphragm” refers to a diaphragm that features a special Nano particle coating applied to its surface. The result is a more natural and detailed sound than what is typically achieved with True Wireless earphones. The idea behind the new Topology Diaphragm was inspired by Dr.Fang Bian’s Ph.D. thesis that states, “Different Nano materials have differing structures and each of those materials have its own properties.”Therefore, by carefully controlling the diaphragm surface structure we can yield different results that are superior in acoustic performance to a degree previously unobtainable.
  • Support LDAC HD Bluetooth Format; Lossless Sound Quality Transmission
  • ANC Deep Noise Cancellation: Immerse yourself in your own world of sound. The microphone accurately identifies noise, generating a reverse signal that reduces noise up to -35dB.

Tech Review – Edifier W830NB Open-Ear Headphones

The Edifier W830NB Open-Ear Headphones have been the latest cans my ears not long after several pairs from the Brand of late which is always music to my ears, recently reviewed here was the W820NB Plus and the WH700NB

So with the newcomer to their product portfolio I was looking forward to checking these guys out which also has access to their ConneX app..

The look is in line with their current portfolio keeping the design hues in order and the fit is great as always with comfortable cups and headband which can be worn for several hours even for gaming as there is a game mode present in the app like many headphones and earbuds come with these days which is good to see.

The controls are all on the right cup which is good and keeping it simple with all your features accessible along with the app to get the custom sound you require which everyone has their own taste there. Alongside the controls is the USB-C charge port and led light and mics.

The finish is robust and clean with a matt finish which has held up well with no marks to date despite the bright colour we have in for review which I preferred out of the colours available.

The controls are raised and work well getting the right command right each time rather than having missed one and they do not trigger accidental commands even when lying down.

Sound quality is as expected with the latest from Edifier here and with their app as seen below and the video review after that we have a great listening experience as one would expect.

Highs lows and mids all good no tinny sound when maxed out and no lag latency noted, with the Hi Res audio LDAC you can be sure to get superb sound with the 40mm drivers and with the app you can customise to your requirements making these an exceptional pair of headphones for the money.

With the ANC turned on you can sit back and enjoy hassle free listening time be it for gaming movies podcasts and more the ANC works really well here and notable in comparison to other brands. try this test at home for yourself and you will notice a clear step in the ANC quality

With multipoint connectivity you can switch between two devices smoothly and for me is an important feature to have making life easy, calls are great nice a clear and with superb battery life and fast charging these are an easy recommendation from me and not expensive and as I have said before the cost to performance ratio has come along way with earbuds and now headphones meaning you do not need to spend silly money for great features and this is what you get here.

Tech Review – QCY MeoBuds Pro earbuds

The QCY MeloBuds Pro are the latest earbuds on offer from the company and the recently reviewed headphones called the H3 have been a great start to their new line-up of products and an excellent pair of headphones.

With these earbuds coming in at around 50 euro there is little to complain about here and they have a really good app to go with them that put more expensive models to shame and that say quite a lot here.

The style and fit is like most earbuds here, they sit well in the ears and have a secure fit but be sure to check out the tips for the best seal which yields the best results as I always say.

One stand out feature is the ANC on the MeloBuds Pro at the price they come in for as they have a wide frequency range and offer up to 46db on ANC and 6 yes 6 transparency modes built in so there is options for all here.

There is also 6 mics the most we see these days is two or four but 6 now being the standard and again at the price it is unheard of the features present in these earbuds.

There is dual device connectivity on board so if like me and you use two devices all day this is perfect and seamless and can be controlled via the app which you can see more of below and in the video review where we take a tour of the said app which is great and loaded with features including a decent battery life at around 34 hrs at 75% volume and with a ten minute charge you can get up to 1hr playtime. This will vary per user and EQ/Volume settings as always.

The sound is also where it is at here with the QCY MeloBuds Pro and it is superb for the price and with their companion app there is not much left to say but these are worth every single penny you spend which is little and what is on offer from more well established brands.

Highs lows and mids all great super ANC and transparency modes with a notable difference on switching unlike some others out there, great treble and bass high volume and you can also customise to your requirements with spatial sound.

For the gamers yes they are also covered here with up to 80ms latency when game mode is activated and their advanced spatial audio algorithm enhances the soundstage, offering a 360° Stereo Sound experience. Equipped with a 12mm dynamic driver units if it is music movies or gaming you are center stage.

Tech Review – Soundpeats Engine 4 earbuds

The Soundpeats Engine 4 earbuds are one of the latest on offer form the brand and come with a new look and design which is really nice, these style of earbuds are not the top of my list however I prefer stems but it is how they sound is what can make you overlook at times and these stood out with my locals asking about them when out testing over the last few weeks..

 

The App

The App as seen above has plenty of features yet again and gives you control on how your earbuds sound however the controls are fixed which is fine and simple to use, the earbuds can be used on their own too so either side can be used whilst the other one is left to charge which is quite handy. I would also advise to complete the adaptive EQ test for the best results and ensure you have got the right tips and are happy with the fit. The controls work really well on these too which is an additional bonus due to the large surface area at hand so for those with big fingers like me it is a bonus. One small downside is the controls are fixed however they are fine as is and pretty much as standard settings on earbuds today. These sound a bit on the brighter side than what I like however with their app they can be changed to suit your needs and their app once again is decent and allows you to take some control over the audio experience.

Overall a different shape of earbud to my liking but sounds good, the fit or style might not suit everyone but they deliver again on the sound aspect with decent battery life and the look of the earbuds and case stands out and will be ideal for first time buyers of earbuds from the company or just looking for something new to try out as this brand has been very consistent over the years for us they offer a wide range of earbuds for all pockets and all styles.

Key Features of the SOUNDPEATS Engine4 Wireless Earbuds include:
1. Hi-Res Audio Wireless Certificated, LDAC Codec for Android Users Available. Boasting 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝘅𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 with a 10mm woofer and a 6mm tweeter. Engine4 is designed to provide deep bass, clear treble, and crisp mids. Enjoy powerful sound on the go wherever you are. With Engine4, you can take your music experience to the next level.

2. Enhanced Battery Life: These earbuds provide an impressive battery life of up to 12.5 hours on a single charge, and the compact charging case extends the total playtime to an astonishing 43 hours, ensuring uninterrupted audio enjoyment.

3. Seamless Connectivity: Engine4 features Bluetooth 5.3 technology, offering a stable and seamless connection between two different devices for an extended range of up to 100 feet, allowing users to move freely without any audio interruptions. ( Due to the Simultaneously Connection being turned off in the factory setting, you’re allowed to turn it on by using APP as your demand. )

4. Intuitive Touch Controls: The touch-sensitive controls on the earbuds enable easy management of music playback, volume adjustment, and call handling, providing a hassle-free user experience.

5. Ergonomic Design: The Engine4 earbuds are ergonomically designed to provide a secure and comfortable fit, ensuring a snug seal for improved noise isolation and long-lasting comfort, even during extended listening sessions.

6. APP Control: SOUNDPEATS App is build-in 8 kinds of sound effects for choice, you can achieve their enhanced bass or treble-oriented listening experience as you want. For Engine4, you can choose to Turn Off/ On the LDAC Codec mode or the Simultaneously Connection by using APP. Attention, these two features cannot be supported at the same time due to technical issues. The SOUNDPEATS app is on Google Play Store and Apple App Store

Tech Review – Edifier WH820NB Plus headphones

The Edifier WH820NB plus are an affordable pair of headphones with a bit of punch thrown in when it comes to the audio experience, over the years we have being checking out the tech from the company they have been consistent when it comes to audio at all price points and in short there is no cheap take on it when it comes down to how your music is delivered to you via their products

The headset itself this time around comes in several colours which is a good start and might look and feel a bit cheap but still it is robust and it is a headset that can be worn for hours on end with no clamping effect and sweaty cups, I have tested these on my travels to Milan recently and with the humidity over there they did not cause any issues for me and the fact they are so light makes them super comfortable over hours of listening to music or even gaming if you wish as these have a gaming mode included.

The buttons on the headphones are on the small side but work well and all is kept to one side which makes navigation simple and after a few minutes use you will have no issues using them and they are tactile and work really well dishing out the commands you want with no mistakes so in that department all is good. On the buttons you can control your listening mode volume levels track selection and so on.

With the audio aspect again the company has delivered here with an excellent pair of cans with 40mm drivers and a great audio experince in gaming music and more so for those who want to take a punt you will not be sorry, during my usual test run they surpassed all expectations with nice volume decent ANC was noted, no distortion on maxed out volume and overall the highs lows and mids and no matter what genre was listened to they done a superior job and I would not expect anything less from the company anyway at this stage. Calls also done really well for me on my testing and from the few calls I tool people could here me clearly and same on my end and you have built in DNN which aides the quality.

Battery life is also excellent here on the headphones and at the higher end of the tier for longevity

The app as seen below is again available for the headphones and works really well and is simple to use you can also avail of their widget too if you wish, check out the video review for more where we take a look at the app and discuss the features and more and you get to see what value you get for your money here.
