Edifier WH700NB Pro review

The WH700NB Pro brings Edifier's hi-fi background to a budget over-ear design. Edifier lists hybrid noise cancelling with up to 43 dB of depth and several modes, a 40 mm driver with a titanium-coated composite diaphragm, and Hi-Res Audio when used with a cable. The headphones also play over the cable with no power, a useful fallback if the battery runs flat. Battery life is rated at 35 hours with noise cancelling on and 56 hours off, with a full charge in about 2 hours and 10 hours of use from 15 minutes. Bluetooth 5.4 with multipoint is the newest version in this group, and the game mode cuts latency to 0.06 s. The EDIFIER ConneX app handles noise modes, EQ presets and a find-my-headphones feature. Two things hold it back: SBC is the only Bluetooth codec listed, and we could not see a US price on Edifier's site from our location, so check before buying.
