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.
