What we like about Edifier W820BT

  • Incredibly long battery life (advertised up to 80 hours)
  • Excellent value for the price / budget-friendly
  • Very comfortable ear pads and lightweight build for long listening sessions
  • Decent, clear sound quality with an emphasis on bass
  • Foldable design makes them highly portable and travel-friendly
  • Features a 3.5mm jack for wired listening fallback

What we don't like about Edifier W820BT

  • Plasticky build quality that can feel cheap and sometimes creak
  • Can feel bulky, heavy, or cause sweating in warm conditions
  • Bluetooth connectivity can occasionally cut out or experience interference
  • Noticeable audio delay/latency when using Bluetooth (not ideal for fast gaming)
  • The built-in microphone for calls performs poorly over wireless
  • Bass-heavy tuning can sometimes muddle the midrange and drown out vocals

Verdict

The Edifier W820BT is a lightweight, over-ear wireless headphone featuring Bluetooth V4.1 with CSR technology and large 40mm NdFeB dynamic drivers that deliver a bass-oriented sound profile. Its standout characteristic is an exceptional dual-battery setup providing up to 80 hours of continuous playback, complemented by a travel-friendly foldable design and a flexible steel headband for durability. Main pros include its industry-leading battery life, comfortable extra-soft ear cushions, and the versatility of a 3.5mm auxiliary port for wired use. However, notable cons include the lack of active noise cancellation (ANC), a muddled vocal range due to heavy bass, and a micro-USB charging port that results in long recharge times.
