Score: 88/100
Edifier WH950NB Gen 2
Score: 89/100Rankings
The Edifier WH950NB Gen 2 delivers ultra-long battery life, fast charging and an 8-level hybrid ANC with LDAC support. Its weight is higher than many competitors and it lacks AAC codec support, which may affect some users. Best suited for Android commuters and travelers who prioritize battery endurance and ANC over ultimate sound fidelity.
The Jabra Evolve2 85 offers hybrid active noise cancellation, a ten-mic array and up to 37 hours of battery life. Its weight of 286 g and right-side-only boom mic may be less comfortable for some users. Ideal for professionals demanding top-tier noise reduction and long-lasting performance.

Professional reviewers commend the WH950NB for its impressive multi-mode ANC, exceptionally long battery life, comfortable earpads, fast 10-minute charge and LDAC hi-res audio support, while noting that the sound quality does not reach audiophile levels and the lack of AAC codec limits some device compatibility.
Everyday users consistently praise the headphones for their comfort during long sessions, reliable ANC, long-lasting battery and clear call quality, with the fast-charge feature and safe-volume app controls also receiving positive remarks. The main criticisms echo expert concerns about sound fidelity and missing AAC support.
