Edifier W800BT Pro specifications and in-depth review

Edifier W800BT Pro

Manufacturer: Edifier

The Edifier W800BT Pro is an over-ear headphone that combines wireless convenience with wired flexibility, making it a versatile option for a wide range of listening situations. It supports active noise cancellation alongside a passive noise reduction design, and includes an ambient sound mode for those moments when situational awareness matters. The built-in noise-canceling microphone and on-device control panel round out a feature set suited for both music and calls.

On the technical side, the W800BT Pro operates over Bluetooth 5.4 with AAC codec support and delivers audio across a frequency range of 20 Hz to 40,000 Hz through 40 mm driver units at a sound pressure level of 91 dB/mW. Battery life reaches 45 hours in standard use, dropping to 26 hours with ANC enabled, and the headphone recharges via USB Type-C. Multipoint connectivity allows simultaneous pairing with up to two devices, and audio latency is rated at 60 ms with a maximum Bluetooth range of 10 m.

Pros
  • Supports simultaneous connection to two devices via multipoint Bluetooth pairing
  • Battery life reaches 45 hours in standard use, reducing the need for frequent recharging
  • Charges via USB Type-C, a widely available connector
  • Includes both active noise cancellation and passive noise reduction for layered sound isolation
  • Ambient sound mode allows environmental audio to pass through without removing the headphones
  • Works as a headset with a noise-canceling microphone, suitable for calls
Cons
  • Bluetooth range is limited to 10 meters, which restricts movement away from the source device
  • ANC use significantly reduces battery life from 45 hours down to 26 hours
  • Does not support higher-quality wireless codecs such as LDAC, aptX, or aptX HD — only AAC is available beyond the baseline
  • Lacks in/on-ear detection, so playback does not pause automatically when the headphones are removed
  • No wireless charging support, requiring a physical cable connection to recharge
  • Does not support fast pairing or NFC pairing, making initial device setup less convenient
Who is this for?

The W800BT Pro is well-suited to users who spend long hours listening and need a reliable headphone that won't require constant recharging, given its 45-hour battery life. The combination of active noise cancellation and passive noise reduction makes it a practical choice for people working in open offices, commuting, or studying in noisy environments. Its multipoint connectivity also makes it a good fit for those who regularly switch between two devices, such as a laptop and a phone, without wanting to manually re-pair each time. The noise-canceling microphone and headset capability further extend its usefulness to those who frequently take calls.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who prioritize high-resolution wireless audio will find this headphone limiting, as it only supports AAC beyond the standard baseline — lacking LDAC, aptX HD, or any other high-fidelity codec. The 10-meter Bluetooth range is restrictive for anyone who needs freedom of movement around a larger space. Those who rely on automatic playback controls, such as music pausing when the headphones are removed, will also find the absence of in/on-ear detection inconvenient in daily use. Spatial audio enthusiasts looking for an immersive, three-dimensional listening experience will not find that capability here either.

Design:

Fit Over-ear
weight 0 g
has a detachable cable
is designed for kids
has a tangle free cable
has an open-back design
has stereo speakers

The Edifier W800BT Pro uses an over-ear fit and a closed-back design, which helps with passive sound isolation during use. It features stereo speakers but does not include a detachable cable, a tangle-free cable, or any kid-oriented design elements.

Sound quality:

has active noise cancellation (ANC)
lowest frequency 20 Hz
highest frequency 40000 Hz
driver unit size 40 mm
supports spatial audio
sound pressure level 91 dB/mW
has a neodymium magnet
has passive noise reduction

The W800BT Pro covers a frequency range of 20 Hz to 40,000 Hz through 40 mm driver units, with a sound pressure level of 91 dB/mW. It includes both active noise cancellation and passive noise reduction, offering two layers of isolation from surrounding sound. Spatial audio is not supported, and the drivers do not use a neodymium magnet.

Power:

Battery life 45 hours
Battery life (ANC) 26 hours
Has USB Type-C
has a battery level indicator
has wireless charging
Has a solar power battery
has a rechargeable battery
has a removable battery

The W800BT Pro is equipped with a rechargeable battery that delivers up to 45 hours of playback, though enabling active noise cancellation reduces that figure to 26 hours. Charging is handled via USB Type-C, and a battery level indicator lets users keep track of remaining charge. The battery is not removable, and the headphone supports neither wireless charging nor solar power.

Connectivity:

connectivity Wireless & wired
Bluetooth version 5.4
has aptX Adaptive
has aptX
has LDAC
has LDHC
has Bluetooth LE Audio
has aptX Low Latency
has aptX HD
has aptX Lossless
has AAC
has Auracast
audio latency 60 ms
maximum Bluetooth range 10 m
has fast pairing
supports Bluetooth pairing using NFC

The W800BT Pro supports both wireless and wired connectivity, with wireless operation running over Bluetooth 5.4 and a maximum range of 10 m. The only supported audio codec beyond the standard baseline is AAC, while aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Low Latency, aptX Lossless, LDAC, LDHC, and Bluetooth LE Audio are all absent. Audio latency is rated at 60 ms, and the headphone does not offer fast pairing, NFC pairing, or Auracast support.

Features:

has a noise-canceling microphone
has ambient sound mode
has in/on-ear detection
multipoint count 2
control panel placed on a device
can be used as a headset
Has an in-line control panel

The W800BT Pro can be used as a headset, thanks to its noise-canceling microphone, and includes an ambient sound mode for letting in environmental audio when needed. Controls are handled through an on-device panel rather than an in-line cable control. The headphone supports multipoint connectivity with up to two devices simultaneously, though it does not feature in/on-ear detection for automatic playback pausing.

Final Verdict

The Edifier W800BT Pro is a practical over-ear headphone that covers the essentials well — its 45-hour battery life and dual-layer noise isolation make it a solid companion for extended daily use, whether commuting, working, or taking calls. Multipoint connectivity and USB Type-C charging add to its everyday convenience, and the noise-canceling microphone ensures it holds up as a functional headset. That said, users with higher audio fidelity expectations may find the codec support limiting, and the absence of features like in/on-ear detection or NFC pairing reflects a product positioned more for practicality than for audiophile or feature-rich use. Overall, the W800BT Pro is a well-rounded option for listeners who value endurance and noise management above all else.
