This new Bluetooth headset from EDIFIER at £54.99 it is not the cheapest I have seen and concentrates on audio quality rather than add-ons and little-used features. Inside the attractive mid-market box aside from the headset itself, there is a USB Charging Cable, 3.5mm Audio Cable and User Guide. The User Guide although comprehensive is rather small and hard to read. I attach a scan of it to my review, switch to full screen and pause as needed to read it.
These headphones have a quality feel to them with and are solid, well made and robust. The headband and earcups have a soft and rather luxurious PU leather feel although the padding is adequate rather than generous. The headset frame looks good with an attractive silk finish. The build quality seems excellent to me with no sign of the padding on the band working loose, poor stitching, visible wires or weak joints – all elements that have failed on similar headsets I have owned in the past. There is nothing to make me suppose that the headset is not well made. Time will tell and if something fails in the future I will update the review accordingly.
The headset comes with good quality audio and USB to micro-USB charging cables and both work perfectly well. The three control buttons are on one ear cup only and are easy to find and identify by touch and rather less so by sight. There are the usual track/volume buttons on the side but sadly no separate power Off/On switch. The multifunction button is on the front face of the earcup and also contains the single status LED. The buttons are large and not flush as they too often are and this makes them easy to locate and for me, this is a major feature.
Bluetooth Pairing simple enough and achieved in the usual way by depressing the Multifunction/Power button for several seconds until the red/blue LED flashes then look for EDIFIER W806BT on the pairing screen of your phone. Once paired I found the connection to be stable and strong. It will pair with two external devi..
