There are three things I want from the best wireless earbuds: high-quality audio, effective ANC, and decent battery life. The new Moondrop Edge wireless headphones promise to offer all three and do so for under eighty dollars (via Notebookcheck).
The Moondrop Edge are built around relatively large 40mm dynamic drivers and have four microphones for ANC and dual microphones for clear voice calls. They support higher quality LDAC audio streaming and have an impressive specification for the price.
Moondrop Edge: Key Features and Pricing
Moondrop’s Edge over-ear headphones have Bluetooth 5.4 with multipoint and support for SBC, AAC and LDAC audio. Battery life is a promised 48 hours (with ANC off) and you can recharge it from scratch in about 1.5 hours. Five minutes of quick charging will give you four hours of playback.
I haven’t heard these headphones, but the general consensus on the brand’s other headphones and earphones is that they offer solid performance and good value for money. We were also fans of Moondrop’s portable CD player here at TechRadar – the company clearly has an eye for style.
The design of the Edge is similar to that of the Cambridge Audio Melomania P100, with a nice flash of contrast between the angled arms that connect to the headband. Simple but effective and not boring: it’s nice.
The Moondrop Edge headphones are now available on Amazon priced at $79.99 / £79.99. You can check them out on Amazon US here or Amazon UK here.
