Professional reviewers commend the Edifier W820NB Plus for delivering strong ANC, lightweight comfort, and high-resolution LDAC audio at a budget price, while noting the ANC isn't as advanced as flagship models and the weight is a bit higher than the lightest rivals.
Everyday users consistently praise the long battery life, comfortable fit, and clear call quality enabled by DNN noise cancellation. The LDAC codec is highlighted for delivering rich, detailed sound, and the quick 1.5-hour charge is frequently mentioned as convenient.
“brilliant budget ANC”
“hassle-free DNN calls”
“They get plenty loud for most situations, and I think most people will be fine with the volume on this, but if you need like extremely loud earbuds, these might not have enough power for you.”
Professional reviewers commend the Nothing Ear for delivering standout sound quality, a lively and spacious soundstage, and a featherlight fit at a mid-range price. The low-latency gaming mode and robust app customization are also praised. However, they note that the active noise cancellation falls short of its 45 dB claim and that the maximum volume may be insufficient for power-hungry listeners.
Everyday users repeatedly highlight the earbuds' eye-catching transparent design, lightweight comfort, strong sound quality, and generous battery life. Common praise centers on the customizable app and reliable call performance, while recurring complaints focus on modest maximum volume, ANC that doesn't meet marketing numbers, and limited ear-tip size differentiation.
