Summary of the review

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Edifier Evo Space

  • Exceptional battery life (up to 92 hours with ANC off, 53 hours with ANC on)
  • Effective Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation up to -45dB
  • High-quality audio support with LDAC and Hi-Res Wireless certification
  • Comfortable ergonomic design with soft memory foam ear cushions
  • Fast charging capability (15 minutes for 11.5 hours of playback)
  • Multipoint connection allows pairing with two devices simultaneously
  • Clever 'Touch-to-Chat' feature for quick ambient awareness
  • Lightweight and foldable for easy travel, including a hard-shell case

What customers don't like about Edifier Evo Space

  • Microphone quality is often described as poor, sounding thin or 'shouty' during calls
  • Earcups can become warm or unbreathable during long sessions
  • Folding mechanism into the carrying case is not always intuitive for new users
  • Limited parametric EQ control compared to flagship competitors
  • Soundstage can feel relatively narrow or 'small' in certain tracks
  • No 3.5mm jack; wired listening is restricted to USB-C

Verdict

The Edifier Evo Space (ES850NB) is a wireless over-ear headset featuring 40mm titanium-coated dynamic drivers, Bluetooth 5.4 with multipoint connectivity, and Hi-Res Audio certification supporting LDAC and AAC codecs. Its hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC) system blocks up to -45dB of ambient noise, while its standout feature is a massive battery life of up to 92 hours with ANC off (53 hours with ANC on), supplemented by a 15-minute fast charge that provides 11.5 hours of playback. Main pros include its exceptional stamina, balanced sound profile, lightweight 260g foldable design, and the convenient 'Touch-to-Chat' ambient mode. However, notable cons include earcups that can become warm and unbreathable during long sessions, a firm initial clamping force, and mediocre microphone quality for phone calls.
