Verdict

The Edifier W828NB is a foldable over-ear wireless headphone featuring hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC) and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. It is equipped with 40mm dynamic drivers that deliver a frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz and a sensitivity of 100dB, supported by an impedance of 24Ω. A major highlight is its dual-battery endurance, offering up to 25 hours of playback with both Bluetooth and ANC enabled, and extending significantly up to 80 hours with ANC turned off. Main pros include a collapsible ergonomic design for portability, steady signal transmission, and the versatility of both wireless and 3.5mm wired connection modes. However, notable cons include a long charging time of approximately 4 hours via an older Micro-USB port instead of USB-C, and potential discomfort for some users due to a relatively weak clamping force.
