EDIFIER Edifier W290BT Wireless Headphones Reviews

Thanks to Zhang Da Ma for providing an opportunity to experience wireless Bluetooth headsets. Reviewing the reasons for the application left by the author on the SMZDM platform, he discovered that all headphones that have been experienced have always been wired. Although many of them are Hi-Fi headsets, they lack a portable device. Convenient Bluetooth wireless headset. Perhaps for this reason, Zhang Aunt decided to allocate one of the precious places to the author of the upcoming Bluetooth headset. It has to be said that the SMZDM platform takes great pains to improve the overall quality of value-friends. After accumulating certain Hi-Fi mobile phone and earphone evaluation experience, I hope to help the author develop horizontally in another area of ​​audio. The carelessness and support of Zhang Da Ma may be the biggest reason why you value your friends for years in the SMZDM platform.

After we sent out emotions, we began to talk about this product from the rambler. Edifier W290BT is a Bluetooth wireless in-ear sports headset. It is certainly not unfamiliar to bring this brand to its value-for-money friends. This company, which was founded in 1996 and has won the title of the world’s second-largest professional multi-media audio enterprise in the Baidu Encyclopedia, is a company that crosses the borders of today’s Internet companies. It is more focused on the research and development of audio technology and product applications. Its product line is basically audio equipment: desktop/notebook external speakers, home and car audio, headphones and so on. The past 2016 is just a landmark for the 20th anniversary of the Edifier brand.

Rambler brand has won a number of international awards such as Red Dot Design Award, IF Product Design Award, CES Product Design and Innovation Award. Like the author of the author's impression, the official website found that the number of W series products that locate wireless Bluetooth headsets is not very large. Everyday, we mainly focus on their wired headsets and speakers. Among the 10 models of wireless Bluetooth headsets, half are head-mounted designs. In addition to the W23BT, which is the basic phone-level product, the remaining four products are priced at between 279-299 yuan, including the Ramblers of this article. W290BT. How did Auntie Zhang purchase this bluetooth headset for the author? Can I reverse my impression that Bluetooth headsets have always been not very good? Are the selling points and defects as predicted by readers after reading the product introduction? It is not too late to start with design.

Exterior

Auntie Zhang’s all-in-one product packaging has always been personalized, especially the “measuring public” hot prompt memo and the “value-for-money” playful boxing.


Before I bought a cell phone in Jingdong, I found that both the outer packing box and the inner packing box were damaged during transportation, and my heart was broken. Thanks to Aunt Zhang's RP, Pingan arrives at the headset, and the package is tight. As shown in the picture, the earphone package can be easily unpacked by cutting the plastic film at the top of the package.


Patients with intensive phobias are expected to have a lot of information on the back of the box. I want to talk positively, aptX coding technology and Bluetooth 4.1 do not need to introduce, the chip manufacturer CSR that provides these technical support is acquired by the cell phone chip giant Qualcomm in the past few years. Perhaps because Qualcomm and CSR technology are rich in precipitation, the actual performance of the key indicators mentioned in the Bluetooth headset mentioned below is remarkable, compared to a mono-radio bluetooth-mounted earphone integrated standard randomly presented by the author when he bought a cell phone several years ago. Progress is obvious.


Although it is less than 300 yuan Bluetooth stereo headset, but accessories are complete does not shrink, USB charging Cable, different sizes of different colors earbuds, the key is equipped with a storage box.


Although the headphones are not metal, at first glance, the surface of the plastic material has a glossy design (plating) that emits metallic luster. There are titanium black, titanium black red and light gold white three colors, the author got black is not so easy to yellow.


The 12.5g weight is naturally lighter as an in-ear earphone, with an ear-mounted design. The wire has a certain anti-winding ability and is of moderate length (I'm not too thick).


Rambler W290BT support remote control, set volume +, volume - and power switch key in one, the following will introduce the use of these three multi-function keys, the side has a USB interface to charge.

Parametric interpretation and wearing experience

The 7mm moving coil sound unit is quite suitable for in-ear headphones, supports aptX codec technology, personally feel that this technology is more mature, compared to those wireless headphones a few years ago, whether it is sound quality or to overcome the limitations of the transmission distance performance is good a lot of. As for Sony's LDAC technology, it is natural for gold ear consumers to pursue it.

According to the official introduction, the wanderer W290BT uses a large amount of medical ear canal data. After hundreds of testers participated in the trial, they conformed to the ear arches, and it was not easy to fall off and wear more comfortable for a long time. Because my ear and right ear ear curvature has always been one side large and small, so no matter what in-ear headphones basically need to use two different sizes of earplugs. Fortunately, earphone manufacturers nowadays are equipped with a variety of earplug sizes to meet the needs of the author. Taking Rambler W290BT as an example, after replacing two different sizes of earbuds for the left ear and right ear, it is basically not because of the daily use process. Walking and small-scale motion scenes fall off.


During the day, the following phenomenon may not be particularly noticeable, but when listening to music while lying down at night, the blue light emitted by the walker's W290BT indicator is quite different, and occasionally it will flash regularly and then go out. It is recommended that users of obsessive-compulsive disorder should not pay too much attention to this design, but the wireless + hanging-ear design makes it more suitable for lying down in this sleeping position than listening to music, wearing and not wearing a child (want to see it? . As for lying down, basically do not talk about comfort, no matter what kind of headphones will be very embarrassing.


The line control function is relatively complete, whether it is listening to music or answering the phone operations are easy to understand. The keystrokes are reasonable and the feedback is moderate. The only drawback is that the keys are a bit small and the recognition is not high. It is often necessary to determine the relative position by guessing which key is the key.

Indoor actual sense of hearing and daily performance

Surface Pro 3

Charm Blue Note5

Huawei Enjoy 6

Lenovo S658t

The author used Surface Pro 3, Huawei Changxiang 6, Lenovo S658t and other equipment paired walker W290BT, can quickly identify success. Next, the author will focus on the use of the new HTC One, vivo Xshot, Meizu PRO 5 and ASUS ZenFone 3 smart four Hi-Fi mobile phones with Edifier W290BT experience.

New HTC One+ Edifier W290BT:

As the author of the New HTC One is an international version, the performance of the baseband chip has always been not very good. Not only does the Wi-Fi signal become very weak due to distance limitations, but it is often easily disconnected. The Bluetooth signal is not immune. After connecting the wanderer W290BT as long as the distance between the Bluetooth headset and the phone is a bit farther, the Bluetooth headset will issue a warning sound to inform the author that the Bluetooth headset has not received New HTC One audio output. Intermittent music automatically stops playing shortly afterwards, regardless of lossless music or high bitrate lossy music. It is no exaggeration to say that if New HTC One (International) users buy this Bluetooth headset is basically not available, the problem lies mainly in the mobile phone side. Since the built-in Beats Audio sound switch is a global setting, Bluetooth headset access has little effect on it.

Vivo Xshot+ Cruiser W290BT:

Basically no problem, but the built-in Hi-Fi sound cannot be turned on. Here is also the way to talk about the quality of the sound, four Hi-Fi phones with walker W290BT performance is remarkable, although not as professional wired headset, but for the Bluetooth wireless field is enough.

Tri-band equalization, high-frequency lack of extension, lack of potential under low-frequency, good vocal analysis. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as it is not the gold ear consumer, it is basically not easy to detect the sound quality defects.

Meizu PRO 5+ Rambler W290BT:

Meizu PRO 5 has no problem with most test sources, but it is not compatible with audio formats such as m4a and DFF. The former used the Astrid AM850+ Meizu PRO 5 as an example to show strange and intermittent sounds. The more fatal is that the current is louder. After replacing the headphones with the Rambler W290BT, this defect became interesting. When the m4a format audio was played, it became an electronic version, which is usually the DJ tuning version of all the clothes sold in pedestrian streets and shopping malls. Love songs became Disco style.

Even more funny is that after the above mode is triggered, switching to other normally played songs will continue the tuning style. In other words, listening to WAV songs alone will not be Disco tuning, but once you listen to m4a songs, you will perform Disco-style tuning, and then switch any WAV/FLAC/APE/MP3 format audio Will continue this alternative adjustment effect.

Incidentally, when using the Rambler W290BT, Meizu PRO 5's built-in Hi-Fi Adapter mode is grayed out, and it is not possible to manually select which output mode.

ASUS ZenFone 3 Smart + Cruiser W290BT:

The built-in sound mode is grayed out, and the Asus ZenFone 3 smart does not allow manual setting of sound effects in Bluetooth playback mode.


Although perfectly compatible with WAV/FLAC/APE/MP3 and the incompatible m4a format mentioned above in Meizu PRO 5, none of the above three mobile phones have appeared on ASUS mobile phones. After playing the music of the Asus ZenFone 3 in more than half of the day, the built-in player stops playing and does not automatically switch songs after playing 2-3 music for several hours in a row. You need to manually reselect the song. Unless it recognizes the entire track audio, that is, a continuous lossless audio of an entire album, the system will automatically switch the playing songs. I have also suspected that ZenUI internal algorithm design limits the music player continuous working time can not exceed a certain threshold, as shown in the figure above a certain time will play a small report in the notification bar, which may also be played regularly to a certain number The reason why the track automatically stops afterwards.


Since the Bluetooth headset is equipped with a microphone function, test the phone for the Asus ZenFone 3 Smart. If you are interrupted by a ring tone while listening to a call, the volume of the ring will not be astonished. The call quality is remarkable, and you need to restart the music after you hang up. When the Bluetooth headset is connected to the mobile phone for the first time, the ZenUI system will pop up the aptX technical support logo, and will let the user choose Bluetooth to call back the SIM card, because the author only has one telecommunication card to select this by default in the mobile phone.


Then we talk about smart one and two related content. At the same time, the author turned on the new HTC One and vivo Xshot two wanderers W290BT has been paired with a good smart phone, first use New HTC One and wireless headphones to connect to listen to music for a while, then close New HTC One and open vivo Xshot when the Bluetooth headset automatically Connecting to vivo Xshot, there is no need to close the headset to re-open and establish a connection. This is the official promotion of automatic connection function.


On the other hand, the author used ASUS ZenFone 3 smart and Meizu PRO 5 to perform two tests. Before the two mobile phones have successfully paired the walker W290BT, while the Bluetooth switch is turned on, the Meizu PRO 5 quickly connect the wireless headphones, ASUS ZenFone 3 smart is waiting for the connection state. Click the ASUS ZenFone 3 smart can not connect to the wireless headset, music player interface display this time the sound adjustment for the speaker, indicating that one for two meaning is time-sharing multiplexing Bluetooth headset, in other words, you can use the phone 1 + Bluetooth The headset answers the call and can use the mobile phone 2+ Bluetooth headset to listen to the music after disconnection.


When the author disconnects the Meizu PRO 5 Bluetooth connection, the Asus ZenFone 3 smart automatically connects the walker W290BT without manual tapping. At this time, the Asus ZenFone 3 smart voice output interface becomes Bluetooth audio adjustment.


There is no NetEase cloud music in the official promotion compatible APP list. The author verified that the walker W290BT can play compatible.


In terms of transmission distance, in addition to the design flaw of New HTC One itself, the other three mobile phones and headsets can smoothly play all the test tracks within a certain range. Take vivo Xshot as an example, the author constantly moves around at home to detect the limit transmission range, there is no wall or only a wall to block the straight line transmission distance is still relatively far. When the headphone signal passes through the two walls, it can still maintain a clear play until significant sound attenuation occurs across the third wall, and the song becomes intermittently unavailable. Finally, it should be noted that when multiple mobile phones are switched, the volume of the Bluetooth headset will follow the volume setting of the new mobile phone and will not memorize the volume of the previous mobile phone. This is not particularly troublesome. You can adjust it manually.

Long time outdoor experience

In terms of transmission distance, because it was winter and rained on the day, wearing a down jacket, a sweater, a sweater and an undergarment, the phone was placed in the side pocket of the down jacket near the pants. The author is about 1 meter 7 tall, wearing the wanderer W290BT for half a day basically did not feel the phenomenon of intermittent and sound attenuation. Whether it is indoor or outdoor, the stethoscope effect is within an acceptable range.


The performance of noise reduction is relatively in place. Take the ASUS ZenFone 3 Smart + Rambler W290BT as an example. When listening to music, the volume in the vicinity of the main road and the railway can be maintained at 5 or less.


After entering the park, most of the time, the volume only needs to be maintained at 3 squares. The ability to suppress noise in subway stations, in subway trains, and on buses (near the last row of seats in the engine) is also acceptable. Other than the occasional need to increase the volume to 5 in the subway car, other scenes can basically operate at low volume. . How about the performance of the cruiser W290BT after many days of outdoor scene experience? See the next section.

Endurance performance and other selling points

As Edifier W290BT introduces dual battery life technology and Bluetooth 4.1 standard, the official introduction of its low power consumption, can be used under normal conditions for 8 hours. The actual experience of the 130mAh battery is quite durable. Take the test of this article for most of the day as an example. The test cell phone is the Asus ZenFone 3 smart. The author started listening to music continuously from 11:33 in the morning (most of them are lossless format, and the small part is high. The code rate loss format), the volume is basically maintained at 3-5 grids (to press the Bluetooth headset volume + key as standard). Because the walker's W290BT has a remarkable ability to suppress noise, basically only three volumes are required to be turned on throughout the course, and some tracks increase to five-volume volume due to their own small volume (with relatively less hearing impairment). After half a day, the Bluetooth headset automatically shuts off at 17:01. The power consumption of the phone is 9%, including 1 minute and 7 seconds of the call.

For this kind of extreme endurance test performance, the walker W290BT is considered a good result, under normal circumstances the author is not wearing headphones for a long time to listen to music, mainly to protect the hearing. If the time is reduced under normal use intensity, the battery life will perform better.


When the Bluetooth headset is almost out of power, a tone sounds at regular intervals. It takes about 2 minutes to search the manual. In terms of the indicator light, the flashing red light means that the power is low, and the red light will be on for a long time when charging, and the full power red light will go out. Mentioned above, the blue light is on at regular intervals under daily connection work. In addition, long press to turn on the Bluetooth headset and match the success of the phone, Bluetooth headset lights blue indicator, long press to turn off the red indicator light. Finally, long press to turn on the Bluetooth headset and in the matching smartphone stage, the indicator light switches between blue and red.


I see other valued friends received the headset has a small label prompt can only use the 5V charger + original charging line to charge the Edifier W290BT, can not use 8-12V fast charge head. However, the headset I received did not have a similar prompt, so I tried to use Charm Blue Note5 standard charging head to charge the Edifier W290BT. Since the fast charge head is compatible with the 5V/8V/12V third gear voltage, the problem should be small. The actual charge test is less than 2 hours from 0%-100%, there is room for improvement for Bluetooth headsets.


The author went out to experience the headset that day was just raining, but the swimmer W290BT that IPX4 anti-wet waterproof design let the author calmly hold an umbrella for most of the day, when the rain is not so dense, the rain was not so great when the author can also Close the umbrella to play a small fresh stroll in the rain.

to sum up

【advantage】

1, exquisite appearance, comfortable wearing experience and portability is a Bluetooth sports headset first.

2. The remarkable ability to suppress noise is not a short signal transmission range and a stable signal performance. The stethoscope effect within an acceptable range is a differentiated feature.

3, Bluetooth audio output, although most of the Hi-Fi phone built-in sound effects are disabled or disabled manually adjusted Hi-Fi settings option, but the sound quality performance in the wireless headset still maintain a certain level.

4, excellent endurance performance and long-term wear will not feel very uncomfortable points for further competition and competition to open the gap.

5, one for two performance is more sensitive, more smooth transition between multiple devices.

Disadvantages

1, the fuselage physical key design has improved, three keys blind operation is relatively difficult to quickly identify, I often need to stop and touch for some time or even take off my headphones to see the specific key position.

2, it is recommended to join the fast charge technical support, long-lasting life must also be charged for a short time before the energetic, wanderers W290BT do the first half, but the latter part takes nearly 2 hours before it is fully charged from 0% to 100%, or is not enough to go heart.
