Edifier NeoBuds Planar: Next-Level Hi-Res Wireless Sound Is Here

/
Edifier Neobuds Planar my thoughts

As many of you already know, I’m a huge fan of Edifier. Whether it’s their fantastic D32 speaker that fills my living room with rich, warm sound, or the compact Neodots earbuds that come with me everywhere — Edifier never disappoints. I genuinely believe they offer some of the best value for money you can find when it comes to audio gear.

And today, I’m incredibly excited to share some big news: Edifier is once again pushing the boundaries of wireless audio with the launch of their brand-new NeoBuds Planar.

If you love Hi-Res sound as much as I do, get ready — the NeoBuds Planar are set to bring next-level performance to true wireless earbuds, combining cutting-edge technology with Edifier’s signature attention to quality and detail.

So, What’s the Big Deal About the NeoBuds Planar?

The NeoBuds Planar aren't just another pair of earbuds. They’re breaking industry limits by integrating planar magnetic drivers — technology typically reserved for high-end over-ear headphones — into a true wireless design.

Traditional dynamic drivers use a centrally driven voice coil, which often leads to uneven movement across the diaphragm and, ultimately, some distortion. Planar magnetic drivers, however, apply an even force across the entire diaphragm. The result? Incredibly detailed, distortion-free sound that captures music exactly the way it’s meant to be heard. The NeoBuds Planar are equipped with 12mm modularized planar magnetic drivers, featuring dual-layer magnet arrays and an ultra-thin diaphragm built using Edifier’s 2nd Gen EqualMass™ patented wiring technology.

The Technology Behind the Magic

Let’s geek out for a moment :

  • 2nd Gen EqualMass™ Wiring Technology: Edifier has refined their already impressive wiring design to provide even better stability and control across the diaphragm. This meticulous attention to detail results in almost perfect pistonic movement, meaning what you hear is pure, clean sound without the unwanted noise or distortion.

  • Micron-Scale Ultra-Thin Diaphragm: The diaphragm is insanely thin — just 2μm base thickness, with a total under 10μm. That makes it incredibly fast to react to sound, picking up every nuance, every little musical detail. It’s basically like having a concert hall in your pocket.

  • Qualcomm® Snapdragon Sound™ Technology: For the tech lovers among us, this means you’ll get seamless wireless connectivity with top-tier codecs, offering super-clear sound whether you’re gaming, taking a call, or streaming your favorite playlist.

  • Hi-Res Wireless Certified: The NeoBuds Planar supports LHDC 5.0, LDAC, and AAC codecs, delivering studio-quality sound with a sampling rate up to 96kHz/24-bit. Hi-Res Audio lovers — rejoice!

Noise Cancelling That Adapts to You

One feature I’m especially looking forward to is the Qualcomm® Adaptive Noise Cancelling. We’ve seen noise cancelling done well before, but adaptive noise cancelling? It’s the next step. It intelligently adapts to your surroundings, adjusting noise suppression levels automatically, meaning you’ll get that peaceful, immersive experience whether you’re working in a café or traveling on a noisy train.

Wireless Charging and Multipoint Connection — Because Convenience Matters

As someone who's constantly juggling multiple devices between work and personal life, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate thoughtful features like multipoint connection. Switching seamlessly between your phone, tablet, and laptop without having to mess with Bluetooth settings every time? Yes, please!

And because nobody wants to fumble with cables anymore, the NeoBuds Planar support wireless charging too. Drop them on a charger and you’re good to go. It's those little modern conveniences that make a huge difference day-to-day.

Final Thoughts — Edifier, You’ve Done It Again

Honestly, Edifier just keeps surprising me. Every time I think they've hit their peak, they manage to come out with something that pushes the envelope even further.

The NeoBuds Planar aren't just a new addition to the Edifier family — they represent a bold step forward, bringing true planar magnetic technology to the true wireless market in a way that’s accessible, practical, and incredibly exciting.

I can’t wait to get my hands (or ears!) on them and put them to the test. If you’re as passionate about audio as I am, keep an eye out — these are shaping up to be something very, very special.

Once again, hats off to Edifier. The Neobuds Planar are available on Amazon UK (here) and on Amazon.com (here)
