Having used Edifier earbuds and speakers before, I was excited to try out their latest release, the Comfo C earbuds. Unlike traditional earbuds that sit inside the ear canal, these have a unique clip-on design, wrapping over the back of the ear for a secure and comfortable fit.

At first, I was sceptical about how well they would stay in place. Their design made me wonder if they’d move around or even fall off during use. However, after trying them out I’ve found they sit incredibly securely – so much so that I can happily wear them all day without discomfort.

With up to 7 hours of playback on a single charge and three additional full charges from the case, you get around 28 hours of total playback making them perfect for holidays when recharging might not be as convenient. While battery life can vary as it depends on the setting you use I found that these estimates were about right.

Despite being an open-ear design with no noise cancellation, the sound quality is impressive. External noise can and does intrude, but I do prefer to be aware of what’s going on around me so I’ve had no issues enjoying music, radio, and podcasts whilst wearing them. The 12mm dynamic drivers deliver powerful and detailed audio, and the Edifier ConneX app allows for some customisation. I settled on the Bass Boost EQ setting, which enhances the depth and punch of the sound nicely.

The Edifier ConneX app offers a range of useful settings beyond just EQ adjustments. You can customise tap controls, prompt tones, and Bluetooth settings. One particularly interesting feature is the water drainage mode, designed to remove moisture that might find its way into the speakers. Given that these earbuds boast an IP56 water-resistance rating, it makes sense to have this feature and I don’t need to worry about wearing them in the rain.

As much as I’ve enjoyed these earbuds, I have found one issue with the wear detection feature, which pauses playback when you remove the earbuds, which seems to be  overly sensitive. Even without touching them, the earbuds sometimes detect removal, playing an alert sound (“bing”) as if they’ve been taken off. I disabled the auto-pause function in the app in the hope that this would solve it, but the alert sound remains. It’s a small but frustrating quirk, but I’m sure Edifier will address this in a future firmware update.

Overall, the Edifier Comfo C earbuds offer a great balance of comfort, sound quality, and practical features, making them a solid choice for everyday use. The secure fit and long battery life are perfect for extended wear, while the app customisation adds a personal touch to the experience. Whether you’re relaxing at home, commuting, or traveling, the Comfo C earbuds are a reliable companion.
