Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Huazai Anc Tws1 is a semi in ear active noise reducing Bluetooth headset. Adopting light luxury texture appearance, semi in ear wearing structure, space audio technology and multiple noise reduction solutions, and it realizes the combination of excellent sound quality and efficient noise reduction among semi in ear headphones for the first time, providing users with a portable companion that combines fashion and performance.
- Inspiration
- The design team drew inspiration from the light luxury products favored by the young group, and integrates the delicacy into Huazai Anc Tws1, matching the leather texture elements to give the product advanced visual aesthetics. At the same time, the design team designed a metal waist line with decorative properties for it, which elevates users experience from hearing to visual, tactile and other multidimensional sensory enjoyment.
- Research
- Through 27 years of user research and acoustic research, Edifire has created a four in one sound style of classical, classic, pop and rock that can be switched on demand.

- Challenge
- The biggest challenge of the research of Huazai Anc Tws1 is to achieve the excellent noise reduction effect among semi in ear headphones. Based on plenty of human ear models, the design team designed a cloud sense in ear cavity structure that is comfortable to wear. With the stable and consistent passive noise reduction, and 20 sets of noise reduction parameters, it ensures that the active noise reduction can be adjusted adaptively and provides better noise reduction effects for different users.
- Realization and Technology
- The design team summarized the auricle models of nearly 10 million people, and thus created a cloud sense in ear cavity structure with strong comfort and fitting the ear canal, which can realize non sensory wearing and also provide space for the improvement of noise reduction structure. At the same time, with fine adjustment of the Angle design, its reasonable counterweight ratio can make the overall center of gravity of the headset fall on the in ear part, which enables users to wear firmly.
- Operation and Interaction
- With built in multi axis sensor, Huazai Anc Tws1 can intelligently recognize and dynamically track head direction to achieve 360 degrees of audio rotation and positioning, bringing immersive listening experience. At the same time, it supports wearing detection, pausing when taken off and playing when put on, and can be connected to two Bluetooth devices at the same time, thus to realize respective listening and phoning, automatic switching between devices to avoid missing calls.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project was designed and developed in Shenzhen in January 2023 and will be launched in China in August 2023.
