Edifier NeoBuds Pro 2 Review: Big Sound, Small Price

Edifier NeoBuds Pro 2 Review: Audiophile Ambitions Without Breaking the Bank

Wireless earbuds have come a long way since they first started sneaking into our ears about a decade ago. These days, you don’t need to sell a kidney to get decent audio on the go. Case in point: the Edifier NeoBuds Pro 2. Priced at a very wallet-friendly $129, they punch well above their weight but are they the right fit (literally and figuratively)? Let’s dig in.

Design: Cyberpunk Chic Meets Pocket-Friendly Practicality

First impressions? These buds look like they just walked off the set of a sci-fi thriller. The angular lollipop-style design won’t be for everyone, but if you like your tech with a touch of Blade Runner, you’ll be all over it.

Now, let’s talk fit. Unlike your typical one-size-(barely)-fits-all deal, the NeoBuds Pro 2 come with seven ear tip sizes. Yes, seven. That’s enough to kit out an entire family of ears. The circular nozzle might not be everyone’s jam, but once you find your size, the comfort and passive noise isolation are solid. Plus, with IP54 water and dust resistance, these buds can handle your sweaty gym sessions and surprise rain ambushes.

The Case: Slim, Stylish, and Kind to Your Skinny Jeans

This isn’t just some plastic box pretending to be a charging case. The NeoBuds Pro 2 case looks sharp, feels premium, and slides into even the tightest jeans without looking like a tech tumor. The Knight Rider-style LED strip? Customizable through the Edifier app. The magnets? Strong enough to hold the buds like your grandma clutches coupons. Downsides? No wireless charging. But again, $129. Let’s manage expectations.

Audio & Connectivity: LDAC and LHDC on a Budget? Yes, Please.

Here’s where the Edifier NeoBuds Pro 2 flexes hard. With Bluetooth 5.3 support and high-bitrate codec options like LDAC and LHDC, you’re getting near-lossless audio without paying audiophile prices. Toss in AAC and SBC for compatibility, and these buds are basically the polyglots of the wireless audio world.

Sure, you might notice a bit of latency depending on the app or phone you’re using (TikTokers, take note), but for general listening and calls? They’re champs.

ANC and Isolation: Good Fit, Decent Cancellation

Let’s not pretend they rival the heavyweights like Sony or Bose. But the ANC on the NeoBuds Pro 2 is decent, and thanks to that snug fit, you’re getting natural isolation too. They won’t teleport you to a silent dimension, but they will hush the office buzz and city noise to a manageable whisper.

Verdict: Budget-Friendly Brilliance With Audiophile Flair

So, should you get them? If you’re looking for:

• A great-looking pair of wireless earbuds

• High-bitrate audio support on a budget

• Solid fit with loads of ear tip options

• A slim case that won’t test your pocket real estate

then Edifier NeoBuds Pro 2 are absolutely worth a listen. No, they’re not perfect but for $129, they’re one of the best bang-for-your-buck buds out there.
