Edge

Bought the Edge at a $40 discount; first impressions good for the price, LDAC works, comfortable though a bit smaller than XM5 on a big head.

Finds the anime girl voice prompt every time ANC is pressed on the Edge a turn off.

Half a day in: decent ANC and transparency, sounds better than other ANC headphones at the price, good design; slight hinge squeak.

After about two weeks a small screw cover fell off one hinge despite light use.

New owner finds the Edge pretty nice and cute but could not get them to connect to a PC over Bluetooth.

Bought for $40. Stock sound is quiet with little bass but great with EQ. ANC and transparency are worse than Gen 1 AirPods. Build and looks are good; not worth $80.

Uses the Edge with the parametric EQ and a modified preset. Finds it comfortable with long battery life and a no-brainer at $80.

Used the Edge and found the sound quality poor despite many features. Considers it useful mainly for calls and not for music.

Detailed review: well-tuned natural vocal-forward sound for under $100, ANC works but adds noise and worse tuning; hot pleather pads, quiet, no EQ.

Owner says sound is fine but a little sharp at times; works if you EQ up the lower mids.

Bought on day one and returned them right away because the bass was missing, though vocals were the strongest point.

Owns the Edge; finds them shouty, dislikes missing custom EQ, but they are loud enough and otherwise fine.

Uses the Edge and finds the cups huge with more room for ears than other Bluetooth headphones.

Ear cups fit his ears with no pressure and light clamping force; faux leather does not get sticky.

Game mode via triple tap on the ANC button gives a massive latency improvement, far better than a Soundcore Space One.
