Review: The Edifier X3s are fantastic cheap wireless earbuds under $50. Includes comparison of Edifier X3s vs Edifier X3 and Edifier TWS1 Pro.

The HearWiki takeAI-condensed

The Edifier X3s deliver a dependable, budget-friendly true wireless experience with a compact build, touch controls, and IP55 protection. They extend the X3's formula with longer runtime and a dedicated gaming mode, making them a solid all-round pick under $50 despite the larger charging case. Sound leans toward practicality rather than audiophile detail, with a warm, easy-going character for everyday listening.

What works

  • Excellent value for the price
  • Longer battery life than predecessors
  • Responsive touch controls and gaming mode
  • IP55 water and dust resistance

What doesn't

  • Charging case is bulkier than before
  • Treble can sound somewhat recessed
  • No active noise cancellation or multipoint

Edifier took the Edifier X3 and added two hours extra battery life, better controls, and a great gaming mode to the Edifier X3s. It's a pity the case is bigger, but these wireless earbuds are a worthy upgrade over the X3 - they're fantastic all-rounders and still excellent value for money.
