Long battery life, premium looks and feature rich, Edifier's new W240TN true wireless earbuds have a lot going for!

The Edifier W240TN charging case has a solid utilitarian construction with a strong hinge lid, which opens and closes with confidence. The earbuds are super easy to remove from the magnetic docking area - even with chunky sweaty fingers. You can pinch them out or push them out at angle, which is nice. 

The USB-C port is rear facing, which is a better location than a bottom facing charging port for charging. Edifier branding has been engraved on top of the lid. Dimensions of the W240TN case are 6cm x 2.5cm x 4cm (high) and weighs 39 grams. The Edifier W240TN  earbuds weigh 6 grams each. Total combined weight comes up to 51 grams.

 The Edifier W240TN earbuds have a non-standard design with a glossy body and button cufflink style faceplate, which allows you to place the earbud upright on the desk and keep the eartip off of the desk (more hygienic). The W240TN earbuds have a long oval nozzle tip with a metal mesh guard protection. The included silicone eartips have a thin oval bore, making them comfortable to wear. Despite the oval nozzle, you can still fit standard round bore eartips.

 

In the middle of the earbud faceplate, there is a tactile button with physical actuation; hence no touch sensitive controls. Control functions are accessed via a series of button press gestures (just like touch controls). Functions include volume up/down, skip to previous/next, calls (answer/end/reject), voice assistant, game mode (you will hear a voice prompt), ANC/ambient mode. You can only choose four functions per earbud.

Opening the charging case triggers automatic bluetooth pairing, letting you pair and connect the W240TN earbuds whilst in the charging case. You can swap between earbuds for mono listening and there is no re-connection delay, meaning when you take the second earbud from the case it reconnects instantaneously. 

Like most Edifier earbuds, the W240TN are supported by the Edifier Connect mobile app, which lets you swap button gesture controls, check battery level for earbuds + case, access gain EQ controls (for changing the amplitude of specific ranges of frequencies), access ANC, timer, game mode, two preset sound modes, as well as make a custom sound signature. 

 

From the Edifier Connect app, you can also change the ANC mode and Ambient mode selection order, choose an OFF mode or single mode if you only want ANC and no Ambient mode selection. The active noise cancellation works well at blocking "bassy" type noises such as road traffic and building work.

 

As far as sound performance, it is midrange focus - meaning vocals and instruments feel more elevated over the bass and treble frequencies. The  dual dynamic drivers (6mm + 10mm) do a decent job of handling low and high frequencies but the stock SBC codec )low resolution) hinders the audio performance of high resolution streaming.

The W240TN charging case takes 1.5 hours to charge, while the earbuds take 1 hour to charge. With ANC ON at 50% volume, you can achieve a battery life of 7 hours (earbuds) + (14 hours case). With ANC OFF, you can achieve a battery life of 9 hours (earbuds) +18 hours (case). With Game Mode ON, the battery life of the earbuds is 4 hours.

 

 

Accessories include an unbranded charging cable (USB-A to USB-C) and custom oval shape style silicone eartips. You can buy the Edifier W240TN from amazon.
