Edifier is a Beijing-based electronics company in the industry, that is mostly known for their expertise in audio consumer electronics like speakers, headsets and also earphones. The brand is still growing in terms of gaining market share in the industry and it cannot be refuted that to quickly gain market share, your entry-level product must be affordable and high-quality for the masses.
This week, the brand announced the Edifier
H180 Plus – a pair of new USB-C
half-in-ear wired earphones, that are not only affordable but also decent from
the specifications as well. Like newer
wired earphones, the Edifier H180 Plus connects to your device via USB-C, and
as for the durability of the wire, the Edifier H180 Plus is claimed by the
company to be durable with a highly flexible polycarbonate coating that allows
it to be resistant to scratches, entanglement, and wear and tear. In turn, you
can enjoy your music worry-free from harm.
However, what’s surprising about these
earphones is the audio quality. These affordable pair of earphones have
officially gotten the golden seal of Hi-Res Audio, meaning sound quality can
definitely punch above its weight class. Edifier’s marketing material mentions that
this is achieved with the company’s clever audio engineering. The Edifier H180
Plus is equipped with a 14mm audio driver that allows for frequency ranges from
20Hz to 40kHz, and the bandwidth is 100% higher than competing wired earphones
in the market.
In addition, the software on the Edifier
H180 Plus is also pretty varied. It is equipped with 4 in-built EQ sound
profiles for your music needs, which are respectively: Standard, Pop, Classical
and Rock. The in-built microphone is also said to provide high-quality audio
recording capabilities. The microphone
is housed within the control panel that is located on the bottom side of the
right earbud. And the controls are physical, as you can easily click on the
power button, volume up or volume down button for immediate feedback and
control.
The Edifier H180 Plus comes in two colours
– Black and White and goes on sale in China today for an official retail price
of 69 RMB (US$ 11).
