Edifier TWS1 Pro 2 Earbuds Review
I was keen to do an Edifier TWS1 Pro 2 Earbuds Review the moment they were announced back in August.
The 1st gen TWS1 Pro buds had left a good impression when I reviewed them previously, and I was keen to see if the inclusion of Active Noise Cancelling and design changes and the omission of the Qualcomm technology within would result in better or worse buds.
On top of this, the Edifier sound never disappoints, and these Gen 2 earbuds boast larger 10mm dynamic drivers over the previous 6mm from the Gen1, so my expectations are high.
Features // Edifier TWS1 Pro 2 Earbuds Review
The TWS1 Pro 2 Earbuds boast dual active noise cancellation (ANC) modes, allowing users to fine-tune their listening experience.
With a choice between High and Low ANC modes, users can adapt to their surroundings, remove up to 42dB of background noise and conserve battery power when needed.
Equipped with dual 10mm dynamic drivers, Edifier claims they’ll deliver the signature crisp and clear sound that they are known for.
While the design of these earbuds may appear similar to their predecessor, they are notably smaller. This size reduction offers potential advantages, particularly with Wind Sheer when being used outdoors.
With less surface area exposed outside the ear, these earbuds are likely to stay securely in place. However, it’s worth noting that this reduction in size does come with a slight trade-off in terms of battery life.
The TWS1 Pro 2 Earbuds offer 6 hours of playback and a total of 24 hours with the charging case. Nevertheless, the inclusion of USB-C charging and Fast Charging, which provides an hour of playback with just a 10-minute charge, ensures that you can quickly get back to your music.
Audio Performance
I had high hopes for TWS1 Pro 2 earbuds with those generous 10mm dynamic drivers, and the overall sound was good, but nothing more.
If you prefer heavy bass, rock or anything with a deeper beat, these Edifier buds just soften the sound too much for my liking.
But this isn’t a bad thing!
Travellers who prefer to listen to podcasts or audiobooks, these are the ANC buds for you.
Active Noise Cancellation
Most of the preset configuration options are done through the bespoke Edifier Connect App (Android | Apple), where you’ll find multiple ANC modes: High Noise Cancellation, Low Noise Cancellation, Wind Reduction, Ambient and Off.
As I moved through each mode, the technology really was impressive, and the High noise cancellation will have no problem cutting out most aircraft cabin noises.
The preset sound effects are Classic, Pop, Classical and Rock. Each made a slight difference to my music, but as they are not customisable, this is all I could do, and it wasn’t enough for the type of music I enjoy consuming.
Comfort & Fit
An area where the Edifier TWS1 Pro 2 buds excelled was the fit. They come with four different sizes of tips to ensure a perfect seal in your ear, and the weight distribution within the buds is excellent.
Tom Says…
Overall, these are an amazing pair of earbuds for the price!
Under $70 with dual Active Noise Cancelling, customisable EQ & app support, and an in-ear fit that rivals most $200+ buds is what I’d call value for money.
For frequent fliers, this audio performance might not meet or beat their primary in-flight buds, but at this price, the Edifier TWS1 Pro 2 earbuds deserve a place in anyone’s carry-on as a reliable backup.
