Edifier WH950NB 2025 ANC Bluetooth Headphones, Black

This 2025 edition stands out thanks to hybrid noise cancellation reaching -49 dB, wireless Hi-Res audio via LDAC and a battery that lasts 45 h with ANC engaged (80 h when it is switched off). The revised Bluetooth 5.4 module with multipoint and rapid charging (7 h of playback from a 10 min top-up) rounds off a package built for cable-free, uninterrupted listening.

Smart Hybrid Noise Cancellation

An AI DSP paired with six microphones delivers 8 ANC levels, ambient mode and wind reduction; the added depth compared with the 2023 version sharpens attenuation inside a cabin or on the underground.

40 mm Hi-Res sound

Titanium-coated drivers cover 20 Hz-40 kHz and carry Hi-Res Audio/Wireless certification. LDAC at 24 bit/96 kHz preserves the finer details, and the Edifier ConneX app handles EQ tweaks or firmware updates.

Battery life and fast charging

With its 480 mAh cell, the headset runs for as long as 45 h when cancellation is active and 80 h in standard mode; recharging fully takes 1.5 h, while quick-charge mode adds 7 h from only 10 min, which is handy when time is short.

Bluetooth 5.4 multipoint connectivity

The updated chipset keeps latency low and lets you jump instantly between two devices. Alongside the wireless link, an AUX 3.5 mm input means you can carry on listening once the battery has run flat.

Foldable design and physical controls

A steel headband and plush leather ear pads ease pressure while keeping the fit secure; the weight sits at roughly 300g. Silicone buttons take care of playback, ANC and the voice assistant, and the hard case shields the set while travelling.

Comparison

The Edifier WH950NB is notable for an uncommon blend of deep, detailed sound and lifelike range. Set against the Sony WH-CH720N, it brings stronger ANC and LDAC support, even if it weighs a touch more. Next to the 2023 WH950NB, the 2025 upgrade adds 10 h of extra battery life with active ANC and moves to Bluetooth 5.4, cutting dropouts in crowded areas. For those who value effective cancellation, high-resolution audio and solid value, the WH950NB ranks among the best closed-back headsets without stepping into the premium bracket.
