Our verdict on each
Edifier
Edifier suits shoppers who want a single audio name covering personal listening, gaming and home speakers, and who weigh entry price more heavily than long cover. Its overall score is 9.4, and the catalogue starts at $7.99 for the cheapest items listed.
ShopTo.net
ShopTo.net suits UK gamers who want consoles, handhelds, controllers, headsets and VR gear from a single seller, with returns set at 14 days. Shoppers who need phones, cameras or appliances, or a longer returns window, should look at the wider ranges elsewhere.

Pros and cons
Edifier
Pros
- The catalogue spans headphones, earbuds and speakers, where HyperX lists headphones and earbuds and CORSAIR lists headphones.
- Entry pricing of $7.99 ranks 2 of 64 brands, near the front of the field on starting cost.
- Noise cancelling is available and the listed battery figure of 49 hours sits just above the 40 hour median across the site.
Cons
- Warranty runs 1 to 2 years, so entry models carry the shorter term rather than the longest cover on offer.
- The direct store serves US, CA and AU, so buyers in other markets buy through a different route to the same range.
- Turntables sit outside the Edifier line, while JBL covers them within headphones, earbuds and speakers.
ShopTo.net
Pros
- gaming, computers and tv covers gaming, computers and televisions, so a controller, a headset and a new PC can come from a single seller.
- The catalog spans console, handheld and controller, so handhelds, VR headsets and controllers sit beside consoles rather than a separate store.
- Support runs on help centre, chat and phone, so a help centre, chat and a phone line are all listed.
Cons
- Returns run 14 days, which places ShopTo.net at 58 of the 80 brands compared on that measure.
- The warranty on products runs 1 year, sitting at the 1 median for stores in the comparison rather than above it.
- Email is not among help centre, chat and phone, so queries run through a help centre, chat and phone.
Who each suits
Edifier
Who it suits
- Shoppers building a single audio setup across headphones, earbuds, speakers, soundbars and hi-fi under one name.
- Gamers on PC, PlayStation, Switch or mobile, since the gaming range covers pc, playstation and switch and wireless is supported.
- Buyers in the US, Canada or Australia, where the direct store serves US, CA and AU.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who want turntables: JBL covers headphones, earbuds and speakers, which runs past the hi-fi end of the Edifier range.
- Buyers who only need personal audio can compare HyperX at headphones and earbuds or CORSAIR at headphones rather than a catalogue that also carries speakers and hi-fi.
ShopTo.net
Who it suits
- Console players and PC gamers buying across pc, playstation and xbox who want their gear from a single gaming specialist.
- Buyers in the markets listed at GB, DE and FR who prefer a single catalog rather than several shops.
- Shoppers who want support by phone, since help centre, chat and phone includes a phone line alongside a help centre and chat.
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers after phones, cameras or appliances: Akkuk.hu covers computers, phones and audio and Banggood covers computers, phones and audio.
- Audio-first buyers, including anyone hunting refurbished gear: JBL lists audio, gaming and refurbished.

Questions about each
Edifier
How much does Edifier cost at the cheapest end?+
The catalogue starts at $7.99, taken from the store's lowest priced listings rather than from a flagship pair. That entry figure ranks 2 of 64 brands on starting price, so the budget end is where Edifier is most competitive. Pricier tiers sit above it.
Does Edifier make noise cancelling headphones?+
Yes. Noise cancelling is listed for the over-ear headphones, and that model also carries 49 hours of battery with ldac codec support. The feature is recorded against the headphone rather than the whole catalogue of headphones, earbuds and speakers, so check each model before buying.
ShopTo.net
How much does gear cost at ShopTo.net?+
Headset prices start at £24.99, and the catalog runs across consoles, handhelds, controllers, gaming headsets and VR headsets. Delivery carries no threshold because the free delivery threshold is £0, so shipping does not lift the total on smaller orders.
How long do I have to return something?+
Returns run 14 days from delivery, which places ShopTo.net at 58 of the 80 brands compared on that measure. If you tend to keep a new handheld for a few days while charging it, plan the return against the delivery date rather than the order date.
