Verdict

The Edifier W830NB is a budget-friendly wireless over-ear headphone featuring 40mm dynamic drivers and Bluetooth 5.4 with LDAC support for high-res audio. It offers impressive hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC) up to -45dB across multiple modes and an industry-leading battery life of up to 94 hours (54 hours with ANC on), including a fast-charge feature that provides 10 hours of playback from a 15-minute charge. Main pros include its lightweight 267g foldable design, multipoint connectivity for two devices, and high-quality DNN noise reduction for clear calls. However, notable cons include the lack of a 3.5mm audio jack (supporting only USB-C for wired audio), the absence of a protective carrying case in the box, and a sound profile that some users find slightly thin or sharp at higher volumes.
