About
What it is.
NeoBuds Pro 3 is Edifier's true-wireless in-ear model, pairing a balanced armature with a 10mm dynamic driver in a hybrid setup for extended frequency coverage. Edifier's Wide-Band Multi-Channel ANC handles adaptive noise cancelling alongside AI-assisted voice pickup for calls, while a low-latency gaming mode and head-tracking spatial audio round out its listening modes.
Bluetooth 5.4 with multipoint lets it hold connections to two devices at once, and LHDC 5.0 support gives compatible Android phones a high-resolution wireless audio path. It's built for listeners who want a fully-equipped earbud-and-case set that handles music, calls, and games without extra hardware, and who value a straightforward, ready-to-use pairing experience over a specific brand pedigree.
The verdict
The NeoBuds Pro 3 deliver reliable sound quality and noise cancellation at $112, earning strong buyer approval (4.8/5 stars), though call quality remains inconsistent with some users reporting microphone degradation. Strong for gym use and everyday listening, but worth testing the microphone if voice calls matter to you.

In their words
“Performance:Very good Quality:Very good Item received in good condition with fast delivery. Bought this Neobuds Pro 3 to try because I was a bit disappointed with my recently bought Sony XM5 quality. So this Neobud really exceed my expectation. To my ears it sounds better than the XM5s with right equalizer tune. Noise cancelling also very good, it can filter most of noises during my MRT commute.”

“Sound quality is good Battery is good though for some reason, the buds don't match in their battery percentage even if I use them at the same time. Noise cancellation, not as good as I was expecting. I prefer it in off mode. Call clarity, now with this I am disappointed because even with noise cancellation on, the caller on the other end can still hear a buzzing sound from my end.”

Find your situation?
Made for some — wrong for others.
You want solid wireless earbuds without overpaying for a premium brand name.
Mid-range street price with high ratings across sound, noise cancellation, and battery life; delivers core features without luxury markup that rivals like Galaxy Buds3 Pro command.
You need a proven, low-risk choice backed by real user consensus.
1347 reviews with 4.8 rating shows broad consensus; Edifier is an established audio brand with mature product line, not a new entrant.
You want earbuds that work immediately without fiddling with settings.
Wireless with charging case and high connectivity rating suggests straightforward pairing; no mention of complex setup or configuration overhead.
You demand top-tier performance with no meaningful compromises in any area.
Strong 4.8 rating and excellent sound/NC/battery, but mid-tier call quality and comfort ratings suggest it's very good rather than objectively best-in-class.
You're drawn to products praised for their sensory experience and design appeal.
High marks for sound quality and bass delivery appeal to audio enthusiasts, but data doesn't highlight distinctive design or passionate following that delights beyond specs.
