Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Edifier H880

  • Balanced and detailed sound signature with a 'fun' presentation
  • Excellent build quality using premium materials like steel, aluminium, and faux leather
  • High level of comfort suitable for long listening sessions due to ergonomic sculpted foam pads
  • Crystal clear audio performance even at maximum volumes without distortion
  • Includes two detachable cables (one with an inline remote/mic) and a carry bag
  • Effective passive noise isolation from thick, snug ear pads

What customers don't like about Edifier H880

  • Bass may lack the extreme 'punch' or 'oomph' expected by some users
  • Soundstage lacks depth compared to its width
  • Upper midrange can occasionally be foward or fatiguing for some listeners
  • Wired-only connection might be seen as a limitation in a wireless-dominated market
  • May have a loose fit for users with smaller head sizes
  • Lacks active noise cancellation (ANC) and modern digital features like app support

Verdict

The Edifier H880 is a high-fidelity over-ear wired headphone featuring 40mm neodymium magnet drivers with advanced composite polymer-metal diaphragms and integrated cavity control technology for enhanced bass response. Its premium build includes an aluminum alloy frame with chrome-finished hinges, scratch-resistant rubberized ear cups, and protein leather pads with varying foam thickness for ergonomic comfort. Main advantages include a wide frequency response of 20Hz – 20kHz, low 24Ω impedance for easy driving by mobile devices, and a robust foldable design ideal for studio and travel use. However, some users note that while it delivers clear tones, it lacks active noise cancellation, and the physical fit may be too loose for smaller head shapes, potentially compromising the acoustic seal.
