Edifier's new w240 TNS they have active hybrid noise cancellation and ambient mode AI noise
reduction with their microphones and a dual driver setup so it's been a while since I've seen this
with some earbuds and great to see they're doing something a little different again here at a fire
so a six millimeter driver that is handling the highs and a 10 millimeter that is handling the
lows and the mids they have an ip55 rating they've got a gaming mode which is 80 milliseconds and
they do have a run time of seven hours with the ANC on and an additional 14 from the case now
the earbuds have this piston designed to them and a physical click in button yes not the capacitive
touch controls which are hit and miss but proper physical buttons that you can actually hear click
a little when you press them so this is what you'll find in the box we have our manual safety
information so type A to type c cable some spare silicon air tips now the ones that are on here
these are the mediums and I'm lucky normally the mediums work for me these ones also do so I've got
a good seal and that's the important thing you want to try all the different sizes out to make
sure you get a really good seal that way you're getting not only the best noise cancellation but
also the best sound quality possible so let's take a look at the weights they do feel quite
lightweight so there we go six slightly here we're actually than some of the others I've reviewed but
why is that that's because it's got dual drivers inside that would have something to do with it
your total travel weight is just 51 grams the case of these edifier w240 TNS does as you can
see pick up a few little smudges and things and even if I wipe it down with a microfiber cloth
that tends to remain the Plastics they've used it is good the quality of these Plastics there's no
sharp edges or anything like that it doesn't feel cheap so we have a status LED here at
the front there's a magnet that keeps that lid down and giving it the shake well sometimes it
rattles around a little bit now they sit in there quite nicely they're held in place with magnets
you can see the Pogo Port pin connectors there for charging and there is space down in there
if you are going to be using for example some foam tips instead of the supplied silicon one
your own custom foam ones will fit and then when you push them in but you may have to give it a
bit of a wiggle but they should charge in there without a problem so that's good the back here
we do have our reset button we do have the type C Port of course for charging now let's talk a
little bit about the battery life out of these so we're looking at seven hours run time with the ANC
iron 14 from the case if you turn ANC off it is then eight and a half hours and 17 from the case
the earbuds have this piston designed to them and yes that is a physical click in button there for
our controls really good I'm always someone that complains a little bit about the capacitive touch
controls often you go to tap them that doesn't work I have to repeat it often but with these that
never happens in fact when you press it you push it in you feel a little and you even hear a little
click when it isn't in your ear there it's quite satisfying and here we have around the outside
no sharp edges with this plastic so glossy plastic here we do have the charging pins there the little
contacts now they are sitting flush so they should not irritate your ears or anything like that and
then our silicon tips after a week of wearing them wearing them they feel fine they're not
softening up which other brands that can sometimes happen they're still getting a very good seal with
them and later on I'll talk about the fit then our app so this is called edify connect and when you
get into it there is no login required which is good you don't have to register you can just jump
straight into it you find your model and it will connect up and here we go gives us the option so
I can set the noise cancellation I can also set of course the Ambient sound mode I can turn off
the noise cancellation you can see your battery life which is good you've got the battery life
there of both the left and right and currently the case is off line there it's telling me now if you
swipe here to the left you've then got equalizer options now it's not super detailed they've got
two presets there and then custom you can go into now the good thing about it is this is a global
equalizer that's going to stay with the earbuds you don't have to have this app open you can do
other things and it's going to keep there with it but it is on classic by default which is what I'm
leaving it on so there are the frequency options there you can tweak it up there the decibels the
gain for example you want to boost up the lows the bass then you're able to do so there with the app
so it is pretty basic and we have another setting here too which is the game mode which reduces the
latency when gaming down to 80 milliseconds and there even R settings in here for the controls you
can go along and change those which I do like now this gives us the option that when you're in calls
and when you're not in the call mode to select what exactly you want those presses to do along
with the return of the physical clicking buttons we do have dual drivers now they've gone with a
10 millimeter they are coaxial Dynamic drivers and then a six millimeter so obviously there's
six millimeters are meant to be and assigned to handling the highs a little bit of the mids with
the frequencies and then a 10 millimeter mostly will be handling the the lows there and some
mid frequencies too as well now the bass does not disappoint it is very powerful with these it comes
through really good really strong it's not to the point where I would say it is over the top either
it doesn't clip and and then the highs to me are a little disappointing now I get the feeling that
maybe they should have put a balanced armature in this instead of the six millimeter so-called
Tweeter that's in there handling those highs now don't get me wrong here it's not utterly
disappointing but I've also noticed that I think sometimes the lows are affecting the mids just a
little bit it seems that the way to describe it is when you hear vocals it sounds a little lower
in volume for some reason compared to the rest of the instruments so you have your singer and they
seem a little quieter with these and then those highs aren't quite as detailed as I would like
so definitely the focus is on powerful Bass with these and I think a lot of people are going to be
happy with the tune but if you're someone that's really enjoys highs really detailed and good
um sounding vocals that aren't well I would say subdued a little bit as they are with the w240 TNS
using the app and enabling that gaming mode which is 80 milliseconds I have noticed that it does
seem to be quite good it makes a difference here so when I cast a spell here the sound's pretty
much coming out although I've got them sitting right here but I can tell you I've tested them
out that it comes out pretty much the exact same time and that is really good there's not
that noticeable delay there with it at least not here with the shell Shin pad Pro tablet
that I'm testing out here not really an issue now if you're watching something like Netflix
Amazon Amazon Prime video it seems to be pretty good I sometimes see a fraction of a delay with
the sync with people's mouths but most of the time it's at a level where I wouldn't find irritating
and you wouldn't really notice it unless you went looking for it microphone sample now of
the w240 TNS and you can hear from these mics that these companies are taking note over the last year
we've seen a dramatic Improvement in microphones and tws Tech and I'm all for it finally they used
to just completely ignore the mics and a lot of the times you'd have terrible quality but
they're quite good here with these and we do have ai active noise canceling with the microphones
connection time for this is very quick so just like other Bluetooth 5 Tech once you're getting
them out of the case they're pretty much paired up now when you place them in your ears you just need
to give them a little bit of a Twist and then you get that fit so that is what they look like when
you are wearing them and they're quite comfortable I have noticed that a couple of times uh this ear
for some reason it feels like I need to just go back and give it another little twist a bit
because it feels like it could almost drop out on me that normally happens after I've been wearing
them for about 45 minutes or so now this question comes up a lot are there earbuds that you could
sleep in well they are and they aren't so the good thing is that if you're wearing them because they
don't support capacitive touch controls that if anything rubs up against them it doesn't tend to
trigger because it's a physical press in button but because of the design of them I find that
they're not really comfortable enough to sleep on them or wear them because they just put too much
pressure on your ear after a while and it's just it's just not going to work there unfortunately
with these so the range of them seems typical Bluetooth 5 I really haven't had any problem
problems with them disconnecting I'm I'm kind of in a semi-busy environment here because I've got
now a lot of security cameras all running on 2.4 gigahertz band with wireless and it's the same
band very similar but different frequencies of course for Bluetooth and I've had no issues I've
got Bluetooth mice here other Bluetooth Tech and no problems with them disconnected on me which
is great and I can leave the phone that I'm using with them up here and walk downstairs and they're
not going to disconnect on me so that's good so the fit I think it's it's good but I wouldn't
rate it as a sports fit it's not like a style of earbud that you could go running a short little
Marathon you'll go and run like five kilometers or something wearing these because I feel they're
probably going to drop out on you if you do that okay so that's something just to bear
in mind there so the active noise cancellation you've got the option of having it off on or
the ambient mode now when you put them on you turn on the noise cancellation which is on now
uh yeah I can't hear the fan that's on the air conditioning unit so it's really good at
blocking out those more higher pitched noises too and then engine rumbles and
lower down lower frequencies is good at the mid kind of frequencies like someone
tapping away on a keyboard people talking babies screaming and stuff
um it doesn't block that out 100 so I would rate the uh the active noise canceling on these two B
above average I would not rate them as being the best some more expensive rtos Tech that
I've been using uh recently they are superior but they're more expensive models so it's still
good it's above average you're getting there now you probably heard that microphone sample I think
it's decent microphones are something that these Brands a lot of them with the the tech which is
completely ignoring mics and there were some in the past some terrible microphones that I
gave samples of and like wow people couldn't even understand you but you can with these so
that's another a positive area so overall the W 240 TNS very very good when it comes to Bass now
a lot of people Love bass I love powerful strong bass because of the setup with the drivers having
the two Dynamic drivers there so one handling the lows the 10 millimeter makes sense the larger one
producing those really good lows powerful bass and even when you're watching say Netflix whether a
movie with explosions and things and a lot of bass and that it's like wow really powerful this is
where you get into an area where for me personally it's all subjective I feel a little bit lackluster
when it comes to the meds they just need to be tweaked up a little bit I'm talking about the tune
out of the box here which is the classic one with the application so just one area and the highest
could be just a little bit better there and not saying the tune is bad at all of these it's a
very good you can push the volume quite loud to as well there's no clipping there's no Distortion
it's just that for me the vocals seem just there's something missing this should just be a little
more there I feel and of course someone could test this out and say hey I don't agree with you
because of course it's all subject of here too so they definitely I think for the price point cover
a lot of areas and what you want you've got a nice reasonable compact size but for me the biggest
thing is these clicking buttons to see them return because it's been a while now out of all the tdos
tech I review they're all just capacitive touch controls others work really well others work not
so well others are very hit and miss I'd still find that pretty much all of them will never
work 100 of the time but these physical click in buttons they do and then the base in terms of bass
they certainly deliver here so thank you so much for watching my review here of edifiers w240 TNS
