- Edifiers Doo Ess-On-Ear headphones are Bluetooth 6.0
- Just 100 g, so much lighter than the equivalent sony cans
- Audio Codec Support is a little disappointing
We have been waiting for a while for the first Bluetooth 6.0 headphones to arrive, and it seems that Edifier has beaten his rivals with the launch of the terribly named but quite funky doo ess on-ears.
Doo ace-a name that gets worse every time I write it-is Bluetooth 6.0 with multi-point pairing. But the presence of the latest Bluetooth doesn’t necessarily mean you want to buy them as there are a few drawbacks to the specification – and since they are currently only available in China, you may not be able to buy them at all.
Edifier Doo Ace Headphones: Key Features and Pricing
The Doo Ace headphones promise AI-based noise reduction, 32 mm drivers and a sound plug for wired connections. There is a game mode with reduced latency, and Edifier says you can also use them as an external shutter control for your phone’s camera.
However, as NoteBookcheck.net reports, the Audio Codec support is limited: SBC, A2DP, AVRCP and HFP – not only there is nothing like APTX or LDAC that is not even LC3, the better standard Bluetooth Audio Codec that is part of Bluetooth Le Audio.
At 100 g, these headphones are very light compared to rivals such as 147g Sony WH-CH520, but the light weight means less battery capacity: Battery life is a claim 25 hours, half of Sony. Quick charge gives you 5 hours of playback from a 15-minute charge.
There are four colors, pearl white, sunset orange, soil brown and secret night blue, and the price tag in China is CNY229 (about $ 32 / £ 24).
It is unknown whether Doo Ace will be launched in other markets, but of course, if they are, we will tell you. As far as we can tell, they are the first headphones revealed with Bluetooth 6.0 – We can’t find evidence of others, but tell us in the comments if you’ve seen something announced.
They are not exactly a flagship exhibition window for what Bluetooth can do compared to the best wireless headphones, but they are funky that looks cheap, and the ease is very impressive.
