Edifier has launched a pair of earphones for the Malaysian market in the form of the Edifier X2 Pro. Rather than being in-ear monitors designed for gaming, this product is marketed as an everyday pair of earphones for a casual audio experience.
What makes this earphone more interesting than the company’s usual offerings is that it is only available locally through Shopee Malaysia. Coinciding with its launch, the company is offering additional gifts and discounts to those who purchase the product early.
Before discussing discounts, let’s first discuss its performance. Right off the bat the X2 Pro comes with an 11 mm titanium-coated driver for deeper bass and detailed top-end. The Shopee listing notes that the audio equipment comes with ANC. However, the page did not mention how well it can block out noise by decibels (dB).
What it did mention is that it comes with AI voice translation that can provide real-time translation for 21 different languages. On that note, it comes with two microphones on each earpiece, which supposedly provide better clarity while calling.
As for battery, Edifier says that the X2 Pro can provide up to 13 hours of audio playback with ANC off. This figure drops to 11.5 hours with the feature on. With the charging case, users can get up to 49 hours of playback with the feature off and 44 hours with the feature on. The company claims that a 15-minute charge can provide five hours of audio playback.
Connectivity is handled through Bluetooth 6.0, with support for Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair. The X2 Pro also supports two device connections simultaneously for seamless switching. Furthermore, the company boasts that the new product can provide ultra-low latency of up to 50ms for better audio and visual sync.
Users can tune the X2 Pro’s EQ through the dedicated app. The app offers 4 built-in presets and a customisable 10-band equaliser. Other details include IP55 dust and water resistance and spatial audio.
As mentioned earlier, the X2 Pro is exclusive to Edifier’s Shopee page. However, we’d like to point out that we did spot the item on the company’s official website. In any case, the TWS has a standard retail price of RM159 and is available in black, pink, green, and white colourways.
However, a company representative told us that, since this is a Shopee-exclusive launch, the e-commerce website is subsidising RM20, dropping the price down to RM139 from 9 September until 30 September. The rep added that customers can further reduce the price by applying vouchers and/or purchasing the device during discount seasons like the upcoming 9.9 event. Those who do purchase the item during this period will be entitled to receive a free pouch to keep the earbuds and its charging case in.
