Edifier NeoBuds Plus

Name: Edifier NeoBuds Plus
Brand: Edifier
SKU: 33290

Manufacturer: Edifier

The Edifier NeoBuds Plus are true wireless in-ear earbuds designed for listeners who want solid connectivity and reliable noise management in a cable-free package. With an IP54 rating, they hold up against sweat and light moisture, making them a practical option for everyday use. The earbuds ship with a travel bag and support fast charging, adding convenience for users on the go.

On the technical side, the NeoBuds Plus feature Bluetooth 5.4 with LDAC and LDHC codec support, enabling high-resolution audio transmission. Active noise cancellation is included alongside passive noise isolation, and the earbuds carry a frequency response range of 20 Hz to 40,000 Hz through a 10 mm driver. Battery life reaches 11 hours per charge — or 8 hours with ANC enabled — with the charging case extending total playback to 36 hours. A six-microphone array with noise-canceling capability handles calls, while multipoint pairing allows simultaneous connection to two devices.

Pros

Supports both LDAC and LDHC codecs, enabling high-resolution audio transmission over Bluetooth
Six-microphone array with noise cancellation helps maintain clear call quality
Multipoint connection allows simultaneous pairing with two devices at once
Wireless charging is supported alongside fast charging for added convenience
The charging case extends total playback to 36 hours, reducing how often the case itself needs recharging
Ambient sound mode and in-ear detection add practical flexibility during everyday use

Cons

No aptX support in any form, which limits compatibility with certain Android devices that rely on Qualcomm-based audio
Maximum Bluetooth range is limited to 10 m, which may restrict movement in larger spaces
ANC reduces battery life from 11 hours down to 8 hours, a noticeable drop during longer listening sessions
No spatial audio support, which may matter for users who prioritize immersive or three-dimensional sound experiences
Wingtips are not included, which could affect stability during more intense physical activity

Who is this for?

These earbuds are a good fit for users who prioritize high-resolution audio streaming, given the support for both LDAC and LDHC codecs alongside a wide frequency range. The combination of active noise cancellation, passive noise isolation, and a six-microphone array with noise canceling makes them well suited for people who frequently take calls or work in noisy environments. The IP54 rating and sweat resistance also make them a practical choice for light to moderate physical activity, while the 36-hour total battery life with wireless charging support benefits those who need reliable all-day use without frequent access to a cable.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who rely on aptX-based audio codecs — including aptX Adaptive, aptX HD, or aptX Low Latency — will not find support for any of them here, which may be a drawback for those with Qualcomm-equipped devices expecting that ecosystem. The lack of spatial audio and Dolby Atmos makes these earbuds a poor match for listeners who prioritize immersive or three-dimensional soundscapes in their media consumption. Additionally, the 10 m maximum Bluetooth range and the absence of wingtips mean they are not the most reliable option for users who need stable connectivity across larger spaces or a secure fit during high-intensity athletic activities.

Final Verdict

The Edifier NeoBuds Plus present a well-rounded set of specifications for users who want capable true wireless earbuds with a focus on audio quality and call performance. The dual support for LDAC and LDHC codecs, paired with active and passive noise cancellation and a six-microphone array, positions them as a credible option for both attentive listeners and those who rely heavily on hands-free communication. Battery endurance across the earbuds and case is a practical strength, and conveniences like wireless charging, fast pairing, and multipoint connectivity add meaningful day-to-day value. Where the NeoBuds Plus fall short — most notably the absence of aptX support, a capped Bluetooth range, and no spatial audio — those gaps will matter more to some users than others. Overall, they represent a focused and feature-complete option within their category, best suited to users whose priorities align with high-resolution wireless audio and reliable noise management.
