New launch the EDIFIER X3 – TWS Music Earbuds. #Tech #Edifier

Edifier International, prominent designer and award-winning manufacturer of consumer audio electronics for both the lifestyle and multimedia markets announces the X3 earbuds. 

The X3 are the newest offering in the TWS range from Edifier. Featuring the latest Bluetooth v5.0, the Qualcomm chipset delivers a faster, more stable signal transmission and low input latency. This technology keeps interference to a minimum, even with a transmission distance of 10m. The low power consumption also provides 6 hours of playback, with an additional 18 hours using the sleek charging case before mains power is required. 

 

The microphone, with CVC V8.0 noise cancellation technology, is guaranteed to deliver a clearer sound during calls. It automatically reduces background and environmental noise to pick up the user’s voice accurately and ensure high clarity audio transmission with richer details. 

Having been fine-tuned by a professional team, the high-fidelity aptX audio decoding technology delivers CD-quality sound performance in each range. Deep bass and tri-frequency balance are achieved across all music genres. 

One-step pairing assures fuss-free usage, meaning the earbuds automatically pair to each other and the last paired device for a faster connection when removed from the charging case. The touch control on each earbud also offers easy access to various functions, including play/pause, next/last song and answer/hang up on calls. The voice assistant can also be activated by triple tapping either earbud. 

 

 

Ergonomically designed to be lightweight and compact, the X3 brings maximum wearing comfort all day and comes with three different sizes of foam tip to provide a snug fit in the ear cavity. The IPX5 rating makes the earbuds water/rain and sweat resistant, ideal for a gym workout or outdoor activity. 

The X3 are available in black or white and are affordably priced at £32.99, making the earbuds extremely competitive with other leading brands. 

Main Features:

  • High-Fidelity Apt X and tuned by a professional acoustic team.
  • Bluetooth V5.0 with Qualcomm Chipset to provide a better signal transmission.

Review – The Edifier GM3SE In-Ear Gaming Earphones. #Tech #Gaming #Edifier

This model came with a variety of accessories, including a travel pouch for the earphones. The initial view was the in-ear earphones are larger than many other used but a nice colour. Unusually the Omni-directional microphone can be removed as required allowing flexibility on the earphones.  The earphone came with a headphone/microphone splitter which allows the use on a Laptop, 

 

 

Accessories : Travel pouch, 1.3m cable length + extension for PC use,  and multiple Silicone replacement ear tips and wings of different sizes.

Product Dimensions: 17 x 13 x 12 cm.

  1. Boxed-product Weight: 150g.
  2. Driver unit: Ф10mm.
  3. Bass unit: Ф10mm.

 Compatible with –

PC, Android, IOS & PS4

 

Inline control  /Volume control

The Slider button has a multitude of options, from Pause/play, Answer/  hang-up calls, next track,  previous track reject a call,  voice assistance, volume up volume down. The volume slider takes time to get used to all the options, while can be a challenge to set the exact volume of the audio from the slider on occasions.

Overview

This model is unusual as a swiss army knife can be used as a mobile device used for its primary purpose of gaming, or for calls on your mobile or listening to music. This is still able to fit in your pocket when not in use.  The detachable microphone improved the quality reducing the back round noise. The earbuds have two microphones which allow the other Mic to be used when the boom mic is removed, Both microphones work independently with a good quality voice. Whether you’re gaming, making phone calls, the earbuds’ microphones perform well. The earphones are bulky but after a days use are light enough not to be noticed. The audio quality is good for the size of the earphones but lacks some of the higher frequency ranges on some games. This model has got lots of attention which may be down to the removal mic, with most thinking this was cool, Noise cancelling is not available but its light enough to carry around and used for gaming/laptop use with an excellent mic option.

Review – The Edifier TWS6 True Wireless earbuds. #Edifier #TWS6 #Tech

The Edifier TWS6 are the latest on offer from the company and a nice slim sleek pair of true wireless at that, these come with extra wing tips for the sport minded individual and I would suggest using those for a stable comfortable fit,you can wear them without but overall using the wings is a better road to travel, The controls are minimal here though work well with the touch sensitive area given the size these come in at compared to others from the company as you will see in the video below. Everyone has a feature set they prefer so I am basing this review on how I like my sound which is bass driven.

The lack of being able to skip tracks is an odd one to leave out here yet alone volume control but they do a good job with sound but not their best when I say that they are more bright compared to the deeper bass tone I usually expect from edifier but overall they do a good job with good balance and direction and no lag latency so ideal for music,movies and more.

The case comes with wireless charging which is not often seen at this price point and come with USB-C charging too which is nice and they have a decent battery life and are IPX5 water, sweat and dust resistance so ideal for the sports minded as mentioned above. The charge case has a gloss finish and is a fingerprint magnet and will get marked easy however offering wireless charging and protecting the earbuds I would let them off here. See the video below for more and images..

 

  • Built-in Knowles balanced armature drivers feature, reacting to weak signals, enriching each sound and producing exceptional sound quality. 98dB sensitivity.
  • Bluetooth 5.0 with Qualcomm aptX audio and Laser Direct Structuring antenna offering fast transmission and ultra-low latency.
  • Up to 32 Hours of Playback; with one charge providing eight hours of battery life and the slimline, wireless case providing three additional charges. USB Type-C charging also available.
  • IPX5 water, sweat and dust resistance, perfect for intense workouts and sport activity.
  • Lightweight, ergonomic design including a variety of earplugs and wings to ensure a comfortable fit.

Edifier kindly sent us this product to review and did not compensate us nor influence my findings,they are seeing this review the same time as you.

Edifier, International, prominent designer and award-winning manufacturer of consumer audio electronics for both the lifestyle and multimedia markets announces the S2000MKIII powered Bluetooth Bookshelf Speaker. The Edifier S2000MKIII pays tribute to speakers from the past with its elegant wood side panelling, however the components inside are state-of-the-art high-end audio.

 

The S2000MKIII is designed for home recording and mixing, bringing a highly professional sound quality to a bookshelf speaker. The S2000MKIII features the latest Bluetooth V5.0 with Qualcomm aptX HD decoding. The chipset will wirelessly transmit lossless and high-definition music signals, so that the Bluetooth playback can obtain the same outstanding music quality as for wired digital transmission.

 

Only high-end audiophile components usually used in HiFi level speakers have been used for the S2000MKIII. This speaker holds a Hi-res certification; the planar diaphragm tweeters and 5.5-inch woofers normally found in HiFi speaker models, deliver clear, powerful tones and outstanding audio quality. The flat diaphragm provides a fast response rate that gives benefits such as excellent high frequencies that lower tiered bookshelf speakers do not provide. An aluminium cone woofer with Digital Sound Processing digital electronic crossover makes sounds unique and clear with high-strength, low-distortion and achieves incredibly loud and heavy bass. With RMS power of 15W for the tweeters and 50W for the woofers, these speakers are perfect for use in a large room or space over 50m² as well as smaller spaces where you really want to rock that audio.

 

The Edifier S2000MKIII active speaker allows you to hook up multiple devices to the same speaker. In addition to Bluetooth v5.0, there are also wired digital inputs plus wired digital analogue input to allow connection to multiple devices such as TV sets, TV boxes, Blu-ray players, games consoles, CD/DVD players, smartphones, computers, tablets and other devices. 

 

You can change the sound of your speakers at the touch of a button. The S2000MKIII has four on-board Equalizer settings: vocal, monitor, classic, and dynamic. The treble and bass are independently adjustable according to personal preference and music/audio choice.

 

The smart start-up volume protects both your hearing and the speaker from harm; however, a 50-level high-precision adjustment of the master volume ensures a totally immersive listening experience when required. With the wireless remote included you can easily adjust the volume, switch the sound source, select mode and power on/off. To make using the S2000MKIII as seamless as possible, there is a clear OLED LCD screen for source, sound effect modes and volume. With the Display mode selected the input status of the speaker shows you which input you are using.

 

The speaker casing is made off a wood veneer while the volume, bass and treble knobs are made from metal and have a professional-grade feel.

 

Main Features:

 

  • Bluetooth V5.0 with Qualcomm aptX HD decoding
  • 5 ½” aluminium diaphragm drivers for ultimate bass response
  • Patent-pending planar diaphragm tweeters
  • Hi-res sound certification

Review – The Edifier TWS NB with ANC. #Edifier #TrueWireless

Edifier are a well known brand which I like and have been testing their products some years now and will stand by them and having said that my reviews are not in anyway biased and will state the good and the bad where applicable. Edifier have a couple of true wireless earbuds on the market which some I still need to test but the one thing with the brand is they are consistent and solid with their products and their speakers are something to take note of too which reminds me I must see what they have on offer in that department.

Their new true wireless though are a mixed bag and that is not meant in a bad way, I like earbuds that look different than the trend and I like the trend too and these buck that trend slightly and are bigger,more prominent looking too and stick out more than some which is fine as I have said before, I do not care what earbuds or headphones look like once they deliver on sound and if looks come into it even better I like to have what is trending and what is different too and this is when people ask me when out and about what am I testing now.

So when it comes to sound well they deliver an expected from edifier they have their sound signature again and these are loud with bass, when it comes to the usual rather than go on about attributes they delivered accross the board and once again they are earbuds I can easily pick up on a daily basis to use and reccommend given they have a larger profile than others out there, if you are using these for Netflix and You Tube and so on you will enjoy the experience with good direction volume and no lag latency to be seen the same applies to music and phone calls which where clear both ends.

You have an ambient sound option too which allows you hear the surroundings which is great for those out walking or cycling and so on and after that you can avail of the ANC mode which when indoors I suggest you use and immerse yourself in great sound..

These lack in some features when it comes to controls but you can forgive it,there is one button on each side but you have limited controls here yet the push button is a nice idea and works perfectly all the time You can also use the edifier connect app to change between the ambient and noise cancellation and to play and pause tracks with a user manual inside the app but thats pretty much it. You have no option to change the volume on the buds but again this is common, you can play and pause skip and reverse tracks though and manage calls with the one button on the buds.

Overall what is most important for me is  how they sound and they have delivered a good product with a good build quality again,I feel some might find these too big a profile but they look different which is something I prefer personally but that is my opinion…

Features

  • Advanced ANC Technology. Industry-leading Feed-Forward Active Noise Cancellation technology from AMS that offers you true freedom from background noise with enhanced audio quality.
  • Superior Sound Quality. Φ13mm large graphene diaphragm delivers a much deeper and punchy bass with the rich details of sound reserved, which makes TWS NB be distinguished from others.
  • Up to 33-Hour of Playback. Enjoy up to 5-hour ANC playback and 15 hours with the charging case, thanks to Qualcomm’s ultra-low-power architecture. With ANC off, you can enjoy 33-hour playtime.
  • Bluetooth 5.0 with Qualcomm CVC and aptX Technology: Enjoy fast transmission and clear calls within 10m(33ft), thanks to Bluetooth 5.0 with Qualcomm aptX audio and Laser Direct Structuring antenna.
  • Ambient Sound Mode: ANC technology gets you fully immersed in the music, while ambient sound mode keeps you informed from the outside world. (Note: Control it by the button or “Edifier Connect” app)

Review – The Edifier TWS1 True Wireless Minty Green #TrueWireless #Tech #Edifier

Recently Edifier launched a new range of colours to their TWS1 range which is great to see as it is something I felt they needed to do and they come in a pastel type colour of Navy, Minty Green and there is some improvements in the technology used here too, For the price these come in at you simply cant go wrong end of story and an easy to recommend purchase from me and the same Edifier sound signature remains here too.

Controls are all as before so nothing has changed there,the looks the same too the only other difference is in the audio and colours available, The sound is great as expected and loud with a good deep bass thrown in for good measure and from my testing on the usual platforms I was again impressed with how these deliver and better than before with no lag latency and no break up on connection around my house which does be an issue sometime here in the house due to materials used. These are also made from LG scratch proof material so you need not worry about colour fade here either so they will last and the white pair I have are still white and have not gone off colour either. Battery life is good and on par with the specs given which is something often over exaggerated and pairing is simple with no issues repairing the product and you get the extra IPX5 rating thrown in here.

Check out the video below for more and if you are looking for a very good pair of true wireless these are what you need to look at.

Main Features:

  • TrueWireless ™ Stereo Plus for easier pairing and better connectivity
  • Up to 32 hours of playback with Charging Case
  • IPX5 splash and sweatproof
  • Bluetooth v5.0 aptX for a strong connection with lower latency
  • Up to 10m (30ft) connection distance (with walls)
  • Low-profile, ergonomic in-ear design with touch controls
