The Edifier P841 has a premium look, a light weight and strong bass for EDM fans, but its buttons are hard to press and it gets uncomfortable after an hour.

Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Edifier P841

  • Excellent sound quality for the price point, often described as punchy and clear
  • Strong bass performance, particularly well-suited for EDM and Hip-hop
  • Highly comfortable for long-term wear due to soft leather cushions and lightweight design
  • Great price-to-performance ratio, making it a strong entry-level choice
  • Solid build quality featuring steel inserts for added durability and flexibility
  • Includes a built-in omni-directional microphone and inline volume/playback controls

What customers don't like about Edifier P841

  • High-frequency notes can sometimes feel slightly muted or lacking in detail
  • The ear cups may cause heat buildup after extended periods of use (approx. 1 hour+)
  • Lacks active noise cancellation (ANC), relying solely on passive isolation
  • The 1.2-meter cable may be too short for comfortable use with some desktop setups
  • Volume controls may not allow for maximum/minimum adjustment with a single click

Verdict

The Edifier P841 is a wired over-ear headphone featuring 40mm neodymium magnet drivers, an impedance of 32 Ohms, a standard frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz, and a sensitivity of 98dB. Designed for durability and daily use, it includes a reinforced steel headband and soft leather ear pads for long-term comfort, alongside a 1.3-meter cable equipped with an inline omnidirectional microphone and volume controls compatible with iOS and Android. Its main pros include high-fidelity sound with a focus on punchy bass—ideal for EDM and hip-hop—a lightweight build for extended wear, and effective passive noise isolation. However, reported cons include a lack of a foldable design for travel, non-detachable cables, and mixed user feedback regarding the clarity of the inline microphone during calls.
