In the oversaturated wireless headphone market Edifier NeoBuds Pro 2 They are presented with some interesting arguments for those looking for mid-range headphones that include some advanced features such as good noise cancellation, autonomy and surround sound support.
In this sense, the Chinese manufacturer explains that for this second revision of its NeoBuds Pro, they include an AI system that monitors the movement of our head, so that when playing this type of sound, it is able to place the sound in the right place. throughout.
In terms of performance, the new product from Edifier has LDAC and LHDC codecs, which enable the transmission of high-resolution sound via Bluetooth (in this case 5.3) practically without loss, since in this case we are going for a capacity of up to 192 kHz /24 bits.
Equipped with Knowles BA drivers and a 10mm dynamic driver, these headphones offer a frequency response ranging from 20 Hz to 40 kHz and a sound pressure level of 92 + 3 dB SPL (A), which on paper guarantees clear and powerful sound across the entire auditory spectrum.

Layout and controls
The Edifier NeoBuds Pro 2 They are earplugs with a pin that is externally attached to a spherical and ergonomically designed body to easily adapt to our ear. Unlike other headphones of this type, they not only fit perfectly (we can play sports without worrying about falling), but they are extremely comfortable and light. The weight is well balanced and even after many hours of use we don’t feel the “need” to take them off.
The case that accompanies them is simple and fairly compact, mimicking the shape of a small bar of soap and displaying the gold-toned Edifier logo on the lid (the same one found on both sides). On the back, Edifier places a USB-C connector (this model does not support wireless charging) and when we lift the lid, we find an LED light that lights up and a button that we can use for various tasks, such as pairing the headphones with the device or reset them.
We also find touch areas on the temples that we can program in a mobile device application and assign different functions to them based on the number of touches made. The most common ones include activating or deactivating noise cancellation, pausing a song or calling up a smart assistant.
Although it’s a design that can’t be said for anything but (aesthetically, it’s sleek and attractive), the same can’t be said for the control system at least. confusing and even erratic. For example, it is striking that we have to use the case (with the headphones inside) every time we want to pair the headphones. Edifier NeoBuds Pro 2 with a new device and that we can’t do it from the headphones themselves.
But that’s a minor annoyance rather than a real problem, the controls on both pins speed up various functions, simply they don’t work as they should. Mainly because it is necessary to be extremely precise about the area to be pressed and the way in which it has to be done; and second, even if we were, it’s no guarantee of anything. Sometimes we “get it right” and sometimes we don’t. This is undoubtedly an area where Edifier can improve and should be able to do so with a future software update.

Autonomy and noise suppression
One of the aspects that caught our attention the most is the noise cancellation technology. From the application offered by the brand, we can set four values: high, medium, low, ambient sound, wind reduction.
To reduce the noise around us, Edifier NeoBuds Pro 2 have integrated 4+4 microphones and an AI machine learning algorithm. This translates into one of the better sound canceling experience which we have been able to experience in headphones of this size and which stand out for their amazing transparency mode, comparable to those offered by high-end models.
It is therefore not surprising that this is reflected in the autonomy, which is not as high as that offered by most of its competitors in the given segment. With activated noise suppression, we can enjoy to the maximum 12 hours of uninterrupted music, to which we should add the extra four hours promised by its charging case.
If we choose not to activate this option, we can add both elements until 22:00. It’s not something we’re going to have to deal with.actually worry too much (all the more if we take into account that a quick charge in 15 minutes gives us another two hours of music), but probably those who value a very long autonomy for their work should look for other models.

Sound quality
But if there is something we value in headphones, it is their sound quality, and here it is fair to admit that the Edifier Neobuds Pro 2 are very well located.
The bass is well-defined and deep, the mids and highs are detailed, the dynamic range is more than acceptable, and generally all music has body and takes its proper place. While we’re not big fans of surround sound, it’s fair to say that it’s handled very well here, and it’s impressive to hear how albums that make intelligent use of it can produce a truly immersive feel.
Edifier Neobuds Pro 2 are available in the Spanish retail channel. For example, Amazon sells them for 149 euros.

Final assessment
SUMMARY
The Edifier Neobuds Pro 2 are good mid-range headphones that have compelling purchase arguments, such as excellent noise cancellation, remarkable performance and comfort, with good value for money. However, some questionable decisions hinder him somewhat. Overall good.
