Edifier W800BT Pro Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones (Ivory) – Up to 45h battery
Product description
If you commute a lot or work in noisy spaces, the appeal of active noise cancelling is obvious. The Edifier W800BT Pro is built around hybrid active noise cancellation (the brand quotes up to -44dB), plus an over-ear fit designed to do a solid job even passively. It’s the sort of headset that looks like it wants to cover everyday listening and hands-free calls without making you fiddle.
That said, it’s worth being a touch realistic: real-world noise cancelling performance varies by environment, fit, and what you’re blocking (consistent low-frequency noise tends to be easier than sudden peaks). Still, if you want features that are practical on a daily basis—Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity, dual-device pairing, and long battery life—this model has plenty to consider.
The essentials (what it’s for)
These are wireless over-ear Bluetooth headphones with hybrid active noise cancelling. In practice, that means you can use them for music, calls, and general phone audio while trying to reduce background distractions.
The full-fit over-ear design is a key part of the approach: it’s meant to support passive noise reduction on top of the active system. So even if you turn ANC off sometimes, the fit is still doing its bit.
For calls, the focus is on AI call noise cancellation with a high-sensitivity microphone and algorithms that aim to preserve your voice.
Where it stands out day to day
The two most compelling “live with it” features here are battery life and connectivity.
With ANC off, Edifier states up to 45 hours of continuous music playback. There’s also fast charging: a 10-minute charge is claimed to give 5 hours of use. That’s the kind of detail that matters when you forget to charge overnight (it happens more often than you’d like to admit).
On connectivity, Bluetooth 5.4 is included, with faster transmission speeds and stronger anti-interference support, alongside lower power consumption. Add the ability to connect to two Bluetooth audio devices simultaneously, and you get a more convenient work/play setup—for example, switching between a laptop and a mobile without re-pairing.
Sound and audio approach (including Hi-Res mention)
On the audio side, the W800BT Pro uses a 40mm dynamic driver with a soundstage described as expansive, plus powerful bass. The diaphragm is titanium-coated, which the brand links to clearer and more transparent mid-to-high frequencies.
There’s also support for Hi-Res audio under a USB-C wired connection. That suggests this isn’t only a “wireless convenience” headset, there’s some intent for users who occasionally want a wired option for cleaner input. The trade-off is that you’ll only get that wired pathway when you’re actually using the USB-C connection.
Calls: AI noise cancellation and microphone handling
If hands-free calling is part of your routine—train platforms, open-plan offices, busy households—this is where the headset’s design is clearly aimed.
Edifier describes integrated AI call noise reduction algorithms that recognise background noise, with a high-sensitivity microphone intended to keep human voices clearer. It’s a sensible approach, but it’s still not magic: if the background is extremely loud or your voice is far from the mic, results can still vary. Expect “clearer than average”, not guaranteed studio conditions.

Who it suits best (and who should look elsewhere)
It’s a good fit if you want a wireless over-ear headset for everyday listening, frequent commutes, and mixed use at home or work, where you benefit from long battery life and dual-device convenience.
It makes sense if you also do occasional wired playback via USB-C and want the option to go for Hi-Res audio rather than relying purely on wireless.
It might not be a great match if you’re extremely sensitive to ANC performance details and expect the very strongest noise cancelling you can buy—because the quoted -44dB figure still depends heavily on fit and environment. Also, if your priority is purely lightweight on-the-go comfort above everything else, it’s over-ear by design, so you’ll want to check how that sits for you personally.
Practical setup tips before you judge it
Getting the fit right will likely make the biggest difference to comfort and noise reduction. The headset is designed with an adaptive multi-direction structure and adaptive fit for different face shapes and ear contours, but you still need to seat the ear pads properly.
For the dual-device setup, think about which device you’ll use most for meetings or calls. Pair both devices, then use the one with the most frequent audio first—less switching usually feels smoother.
For charging, the stated fast charge is there for quick top-ups. If you commute daily, a 10-minute “buffer charge” can help bridge gaps when you forget.
Should you buy it?
Worth considering if you’re after hybrid active noise cancelling with a focus on comfort, long battery life (up to 45 hours with ANC off), and practical call features using AI noise reduction. The Bluetooth 5.4 upgrade and dual-device connection also fit well with people who juggle a laptop and a phone.
You may want to skip it if you’re chasing top-tier ANC results regardless of fit, or if you need ultra-light headphones above all else. In those cases, it can end up feeling more like a strong mid-range daily driver than a specialist noise-cancelling champion.
Mini FAQ
Does the -44dB noise reduction apply all the time?
It’s stated as up to -44dB depth with the hybrid active noise cancellation system. Real performance can vary depending on fit and the type of noise.
How long does the battery last?
Edifier states up to 45 hours of continuous music playback with ANC off, and fast charging of a 10-minute charge for 5 hours of use.
Is there a way to use it wired?
Yes. It supports Hi-Res audio under a USB-C wired connection, so there’s an option beyond purely wireless playback.
Can it connect to two devices at once?
Yes, it supports dual-device connection for two Bluetooth audio devices simultaneously.
Are calls likely to sound clearer in noisy places?
The headset includes AI call noise cancellation algorithms and a high-sensitivity microphone intended to preserve human voices, but very loud or distant speaking can still affect clarity.
