News this week from Edifier, who are introducing NeoBuds Planar, a wireless planar magnetic earbud.  Hot on the heels of our recent reviews of the excellent Edifier Neodots and the Edifier S10 STAX in-ear monitors come these new in-ears that feature planar magnetic drivers with noise-cancelling capability.

The Neobuds Planar feature advanced planar magnetic drivers that bear a striking resemblance to the terrific Edifier S10 in-ears.  The diaphragm is ultra-thin, promising an enhanced response across the frequency range and “superior sound quality”.
