Video reviews we found, each condensed to its verdict. They do feed the HearWiki score, at a measured weight below what a published written review carries.
Reviewers largely agree that the Edifier NeoBuds S deliver strong audio performance, with punchy bass, clear details, and effective active noise cancellation, alongside a comfortable fit and useful app features.
12:05The reviewer finds the Edifier NeoBuds S to be a minor cosmetic update over the NeoBuds Pro, with the main new feature being Snapdragon Sound support. However, this feature is severely limited by poor phone compatibility, and the earbuds lose LDAC support, making it a downgrade for most users. The sound quality is essentially unchanged, and call quality is worse, so the reviewer concludes the NeoBuds S is not worth the higher price over the Pro.
11:27The reviewer compares the Edifier NeoBuds S to the NeoBuds Pro and finds them nearly identical in performance, with only minor improvements like a wind reduction mode and slightly better battery life. However, given the significantly higher price and the potential loss of AAC support for Apple devices, the reviewer concludes the NeoBuds S is not worth the extra cost and recommends sticking with the NeoBuds Pro.
11:16The reviewer praises the Edifier NeoBuds S for its exceptional sound quality, which they consider competitive with much pricier earbuds, and highlights strong noise cancellation and a natural ambient mode. However, they note limitations like restricted touch controls, no wireless charging, and a dated design, but still recommend the earbuds without hesitation for their audio performance.
7:01The reviewer finds the Edifier NeoBuds S to be a solid pair of true wireless earbuds with good comfort, secure fit, and a warm, bass-forward sound that can be customized via EQ. They appreciate the app integration, touch controls, and stable connectivity, but note the microphone volume is low and wireless charging is missing. Overall, they consider it a good option with many expected features.
7:38The reviewer finds the Edifier NeoBuds S to be a strong pair of earbuds, highlighting their effective active noise cancellation, punchy bass, and good battery life. They also appreciate the comfortable fit, low-profile design, and the configurability offered through the companion app, including a gaming mode for low latency. Overall, the reviewer recommends them for their performance and features.
