Edifier V80

Manufacturer: Edifier

The Edifier V80 is an over-ear headphone that combines wireless and wired connectivity in a foldable, lightweight-conscious design weighing 480 g. It includes a detachable, tangle-free cable and supports multipoint pairing with up to two devices simultaneously, making it a versatile option for everyday use. Active noise cancellation is built in alongside a passive noise isolation design, giving listeners multiple layers of sound management.

On the technical side, the V80 covers a frequency range of 20 Hz to 40,000 Hz through a 40 mm driver unit, with a sound pressure level of 91 dB/mW. Battery life reaches 45 hours in standard wireless mode, dropping to 26 hours with ANC active, and the headphone recharges via USB Type-C with a battery level indicator included. Bluetooth 5.4 is paired with AAC codec support, while audio latency is rated at 60 ms over a maximum wireless range of 10 m. A noise-canceling microphone and ambient sound mode round out the feature set, and the unit carries a one-year warranty.

Pros
  • Supports simultaneous connection to two devices via multipoint pairing, useful for switching between a phone and laptop
  • Foldable design with a detachable, tangle-free cable makes it practical for storage and travel
  • Battery lasts up to 45 hours in wireless mode, reducing the need for frequent recharging
  • Both active noise cancellation and passive noise reduction are included, giving layered sound isolation
  • USB Type-C charging is supported alongside a battery level indicator for convenient power management
  • Ambient sound mode allows environmental awareness without removing the headphones
Cons
  • ANC reduces battery life noticeably, dropping from 45 hours to 26 hours when enabled
  • No wireless charging support, requiring a cable connection every time the battery needs replenishing
  • Weighs 480 g, which is relatively heavy for extended wearing sessions
  • No in/on-ear detection means music does not pause automatically when the headphones are removed
  • Bluetooth range is limited to 10 m, restricting movement while connected wirelessly
  • No high-resolution wireless codec support such as aptX, LDAC, or LDHC; only AAC is available
Who is this for?

The Edifier V80 suits users who need long listening sessions away from a power source, thanks to its 45-hour battery life in wireless mode. The combination of active noise cancellation and passive noise reduction makes it well-suited for noisy commutes or open office environments where sound isolation is a priority. Its foldable build, detachable cable, and multipoint pairing with two devices also make it a practical choice for people who regularly switch between a work laptop and a personal phone throughout the day.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who prioritize high-resolution wireless audio will find the V80 limiting, as it supports only AAC and lacks codecs such as LDAC, aptX HD, or aptX Adaptive. The 480 g weight may become uncomfortable during extended wearing over several hours, making it less suited to users sensitive to headphone fatigue. Additionally, those who need spatial audio support for immersive gaming or cinematic content will need to look elsewhere, as this feature is absent from the V80's specification set.

Final Verdict

The Edifier V80 is a well-rounded over-ear headphone that delivers where it matters most for everyday wireless use — particularly through its 45-hour battery life and dual-layer noise isolation combining active cancellation with passive reduction. Its practical design touches, including foldability, a detachable cable, and two-device multipoint pairing, reinforce its position as a capable daily companion for commuters and office users alike. That said, users with more demanding audio requirements — especially those seeking high-resolution codec support or spatial audio — will encounter clear limitations in its connectivity and sound feature set. On balance, the Edifier V80 is a solid choice for listeners who prioritize endurance, noise management, and versatility over audiophile-grade wireless performance.
