- Fantastic noise cancelling
- Easy to use
- Customizable with Edifier ConneX
Edifier is known for their absolutely fantastic pairs of earbuds. My absolute, go-to, daily earbuds are from Edifier, so I was well prepared to try out their NeoBuds Planar – a wireless pair of earbuds with noise cancelling and a neat-shaped case.
The earbuds themselves are a very classic shape and come with some alternative earbud covers, if your ears are a bit smaller or bigger than average. There are actually a bunch of sizes, which cover everything. These are very comfortable to wear for lengths of time. They come in a flatter and rounder case than the classic AirPods case, which has a white light under the opening, turning on when it’s charging or when it’s opened. The earbuds click in via magnets, as with most earbud cases.
Technical bits of Edifier NeoBuds Planar
The NeoBuds Planar are very easy to connect to your mobile device and get working, which is always a good sign. When it comes to battery life, which is something that I feel is really important, I was a bit let down. The battery life comes in at 30 hours with Noise Cancelling on, 20 with it off. I do feel for the price point, the battery life should be a bit better, as I am not one to want to continue to charge my device all of the time. It is worth mentioning that the noise cancelling is very good, even for really loud environments. You can also use the built-in microphone on the NeoBuds Planar for calls, which seem just okay. Not the best, not the worst.
You can use the Edifier ConneX app to customise your earbuds if that’s your thing. There are touch controls, which are easy to use on the earbuds themselves, which can be customised. These touch controls are fun! I hate having to go back into my phone to change things. 
The bass itself can also be adjusted, though these earbuds don’t have very good bass for the price point at all. The customisation does require you to dial in specific frequencies in Hz, which is a little complex for people who aren’t used to this sort of thing.
