1st Impressions
+ Flagship Level Multi Mode Active Noise Cancelling, Blocks most Noises including Voices, Strong and Effective
+ Effective Multi Mode Ambient Sound, I leave it to Balanced, Selecting Voice or BG are amplified but white noise also creeps in
+ Great Sounding V Shaped, Bassy and Sparkly, Good Sound Separation, Wide Soundstage and Imaging, Clear and Crisp Voice
+ LDAC is pretty much stable when using Priority Balance settings.
+ Spatial Audio is Fun to use, Good for Movies, Ok for Music(Look for Spatial Audio Icon)
+ Call Quality is Great, Blocks most noise, makes your voice clear even during windy or challenging conditions
+ Good for Gaming, but can be improved using LHDC V5, when using compatible phone
+ You get both High End Codecs for Apple(AAC) and Android(LDAC/LHDC), Friendly for both Platform
- Battery life is below Average for today's standard, Strong ANC, 8 microphones, In Ear Sensor and Hi-Res codec will surely drain your battery
- Dynamic Sound can be too Bright, Limited Preset EQ(only Classic and Dynamic)
- Using Spatial Audio to your music will make the Sound Quality a bit muffled.
- Touch Controls are way too limited, 2x and 3x taps only, other Edifier models do not have these limitations.
- Changing Hi-End codec is clunky, needs to reconnect, sometimes it does not change or work.
Verdict
Edifier Neobuds Pro I can easily recommend if you are looking for Solid ANC and Transparency, Exceptional Sound Quality, Great Call Quality and want to try Spatial Audio that will only cost around Php 6k
