Packaging and Accessories

The Edifier WH950NB ships in a product box is well designed with a lot of relevant information adorning the sides should you come across it in a retail store. On the front is the Edifier logo and the product name in addition to a render of the headphones from the sides along with salient marketing features and other logos/certifications. This continues on the back with another render and more specific information about the product as well as an illustrated list of contents to expect inside. A cutout on the side confirms this was more a thick outer sleeve, with the inner box sliding out as seen above. There isn't much to see here aside from two side flaps and another seal keeping the contents in place during transit. Open the box to reveal a single carry case with seemingly everything neatly packed inside, allowing you to recycle the cardboard boxes at this stage.


The carry case which comes with the Edifier WH950NB is on the smaller side of average, hinting towards the more portable nature of the headphones themselves. It is a hard case with a fabric lining similar to most such implementations and feels durable enough for daily use. On the front is the Edifier logo and checking the side shows the use of rounded corners that won't snag on anything in a bag either. A carry strap helps if you use it with a carabiner and the sealed zipper further adds dust and spill resistance. The zipper tag could be sturdier and opening/closing the case also wasn't necessarily the smoothest either. Inside the case we do find the headphones folded in for easier transportation in this smaller case, with a foam piece between the ear cups to avoid any scratches or bumping when packed this way. The accessories are placed in the lining compartment in the other side which has a hook-and-loop strap to keep it closed.


Edifier includes some paperwork in the form of a multi-language user manual (online copy here) which goes over the initial set up and use of the headphones with the various onboard controls. It reminds you about the Edifier Connect app which we will cover in more detail later on. There's also some safety and disposal information for those interested and then we get to cables in the form of a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm (right-angled to straight) single-ended cable for when you may want to use these headphones wired in a passive mode. It's not as fancy as the one we saw on the STAX SPIRIT S3 but will do the job plenty fine. Edifier also throws in a short USB Type-A to Type-C charging cable as well as an airline adapter to complete the unboxing experience.
