Third-party reviews

What customers like about Edifier W800BT Free

  • Exceptional battery life, often lasting 30–50 hours on a single charge
  • Very lightweight and comfortable for long-term wear due to soft ear padding
  • Strong value for money with decent sound quality for the budget price
  • Includes a 3.5mm jack for wired listening when the battery is dead
  • Dual-device (multipoint) connection support in newer models like the Pro/Free
  • Punchy bass response that suits genres like hip-hop and hardstyle

What customers don't like about Edifier W800BT Free

  • Plasticky build quality that can feel cheap and may scratch easily
  • Lack of articulation (earcups do not swivel or fold), making them less portable and harder to wear around the neck
  • Ears can become hot or sweaty during extended use because the pads lack breathability
  • On-device controls can be difficult to navigate without taking the headphones off
  • Low clamping force may feel too loose for some users, potentially affecting the acoustic seal
  • Mid-range and vocals can sound recessed or 'recessed' compared to the bass

Verdict

The Edifier W800BT is a budget-friendly over-ear headphone featuring 40mm NdFeB dynamic drivers that deliver a wide soundstage with punchy bass and a frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz. Key characteristics include an incredibly lightweight 202g plastic frame, soft ergonomic earpads with a 15-degree inclination for long-term comfort, and a massive 1,400mAh battery providing up to 35-50 hours of playback. Its main pros are the exceptional battery life, dual-device multipoint connectivity via Bluetooth 5.0/5.4, and the inclusion of a 3.5mm jack for passive wired use. However, notable cons include a lack of active noise cancellation (ANC), a purely plastic build that lacks premium durability, and a non-foldable design that limits portability.
