There are three things I want from the best wireless headphones: high-quality sound, effective ANC, and decent battery life. The new Moondrop Edge wireless over-ears promise to deliver all three, and to do so for under eighty dollars (via Notebookcheck).
Built around relatively large 40mm dynamic drivers, the Moondrop Edge features 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
Moondrops Edge over-ears 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 from flat in about 1.5 hours. Five minutes of quick charging gives you four hours of playback.
I haven’t heard these headphones, but the general consensus about the brand’s other headphones and earphones is that they deliver 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 the Cambridge Audio Melomania P100, with a nice flash of contrast from the angled arms that connect to the headband. Simple, but effective, and not boring – that’s nice.
The Moondrop Edge headphones are available now from Amazon priced at $79.99 / £79.99. You can see them at Amazon US here, or at Amazon UK here.
