Some time ago we wrote about the\u00a0 Edifier W828NB\u00a0, headband headphones with a brutal quality-price ratio.\u00a0Now, we return with another model of the brand, the\u00a0\u00a0Edifier W820NB\u00a0, which stands out for precisely the same reason.\u00a0But there is much more to say about them and that is precisely why we are here today.\u00a0We want you to know everything about these headphones, their technical characteristics, their advantages, their disadvantages, their availability and also, of course, their price.<\/p>\n

Is it worth buying them today?\u00a0It depends on what you are looking for.\u00a0Like everything.\u00a0There is no perfect product for everyone, so today we will talk to you at length about these\u00a0\u00a0Edifier<\/a>\u00a0headphones so that you can assess whether you are part of their target audience or not.\u00a0Make yourself comfortable, let’s start.\u00a0To the mess!<\/p>\n

Design of the Edifier W820NB<\/h3>\n

These Edifier W820NB are\u00a0\u00a0circumaural headphones\u00a0, that is, they cover the entire ear area for greater comfort.\u00a0And precisely this is one of its most outstanding points: how comfortable they are.\u00a0From the company they warn us that they do not squeeze, so that we can wear them all day without them squeezing us or ending up damaging our heads.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind, of course, that they have the price they have, therefore you cannot expect the same comfort as in other models such as the Apple AirPods Max, but, in any case, they leave us very satisfied in this section.\u00a0It has pads both in the central part of the headband and in the ear cups.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It comes with\u00a0\u00a0buttons\u00a0\u00a0at the bottom, so we can control volume, power, bluetooth… You won’t have to take out your phone at all.\u00a0It also has an LED that indicates the state they are in and a USB-C port to charge its battery and bring it back to life.<\/p>\n

With ANC and DNN noise canceling<\/h3>\n

To understand its sound quality, we have to talk about two different acronyms:\u00a0\u00a0ANC and DNN\u00a0.\u00a0Both are two types of noise cancellation.\u00a0ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) helps us listen to our music or movie in a super clear way, completely isolating outside sound.\u00a0For its part, the DNN (deep neural network) helps us make our calls more crystal clear thanks to its\u00a0 integrated\u00a0microphone\u00a0and, therefore, with superior quality.\u00a0We can also select an\u00a0ambient mode\u00a0, so that it filters part of the external sound.\u00a0For example, this is very practical if we want to listen to the horns of the cars on the street to have greater security or the conversations of our office colleagues if we do not want to be totally out.<\/p>\n

If we talk about music, we have a\u00a0\u00a0high-resolution audio certificate\u00a0, supported by its\u00a0\u00a040mm titanium driver\u00a0.\u00a0It supports high-resolution SBC and AAC audio formats.\u00a0In addition, it is also worth noting that it reaches\u00a0\u00a091 dB\u00a0of sound pressure, an obstruction of\u00a0\u00a032 Ohms\u00a0\u00a0and a response range of\u00a0\u00a020 \u2013 40000 Hz\u00a0.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, we can also talk about the\u00a0\u00a0game mode\u00a0, which offers us very low latency and an enveloping effect, which makes us have a better experience when playing our favorite titles.\u00a0It is especially recommended for action or first-person games.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Battery and connectivity<\/h3>\n

They are wireless headphones, which come with\u00a0\u00a0Bluetooth 5.0\u00a0, which offers us a stable connection and a good distance (about 10 meters), so that this is not a problem.<\/p>\n

We have a\u00a0\u00a0USB-C port\u00a0with which we can charge the device.\u00a0More or less we will need\u00a0\u00a0an hour and a half\u00a0to charge these headphones from 0% to 100%.\u00a0Also, the advantage of using a USB-C type cable is that most of the devices around us make use of this same type of cable, so even if you are on the road and run out of travel, you can return them to life even if you forgot your cable at home.<\/p>\n

Speaking of battery, it has a capacity of\u00a0\u00a0400 mAh\u00a0, which translates to up to\u00a0\u00a049 hours\u00a0of playback.\u00a0This is a maximum value, with certain values \u200b\u200b(medium volume, no noise cancellation\u2026).\u00a0This figure is significantly reduced if we activate the noise cancellation, to about\u00a0\u00a029 hours\u00a0.\u00a0Again, we insist that there are certain parameters that can also reduce the battery.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n

Edifier W820NB are one of those products that is a sure bet. They are not the best on the market, you cannot ask for premium quality, but they are what they are and with this most users have their expectations covered.\u00a0They enjoy good autonomy, their noise cancellation is very interesting and they are very comfortable.\u00a0If you are looking for headphones that do not break your budget, this can be a very good option.<\/p>\n
