Introducing the W240TN True Wireless Earbuds from Edifier

Leave a comment

Featuring active noise cancellation, Bluetooth 5.3 and an eye-catching design 

RICHMOND, BC, Sept. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Edifier, the forward-thinking audio-technology brand, have announced the release of a brand new earbud, the W240TN, which continues in the brand’s outstanding record for affordable but premium quality audio. Aimed at the highly competitive under $100 market, the W240TN true wireless earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation have a range of exciting features and continues Edifier’s signature design language and stellar audio fidelity capabilities. 

Edifier W240TN True Wireless Noise Cancellation In-Ear Headphones.
Edifier W240TN True Wireless Noise Cancellation In-Ear Headphones.

Armed with Dual Dynamic Drivers (Φ6mm+Φ10mm) the W240TN creates a wide sound field aimed at immersing listeners in their favourite songs. Compared to single drivers, the W240TN maintains delicate details even at a high volume threshold and the hybrid ANC functions allow users to block out unwanted sounds and focus in on the music that makes them happy.

With an industrial-chic, gunmetal black or white finish the W240TN is inspired by the shape of a robust piston head. Rugged yet trustworthy, the metallic design carries the legacy of the TWS1 Pro and the finished product speaks volumes for Edifier’s pursuit of style. The result has an iconic profile that balances modern lines with a retro, almost 80s-like character; think Robocop meets Blade Runner 2049. In comparison to other earbuds on the market, which often take an altogether more minimal or maximalist approach, the W240TN gives off an effortlessly clean look, one that wouldn’t look out of sorts on the streets of Manhattan, Dubai, Tokyo or London.

Unlike the majority of its competition the buds feature the latest in Bluetooth 5.3 technology which not only provides impressively low latency (which can be reduced even further via a dedicated ‘Game’ mode) but consistently ensures that users never feel far from their favourite sounds. With a compact charge case, the W240TN provides 8.5 hours of playtime and a further 17 hours via the case, making unnecessary cutouts and low battery disasters are a thing of the past. And, users can enjoy crystal clear phone calls thanks to innovative AI DNN Adaptive Call Noise Reduction technology – blocks out unwanted noises and focuses in on your voice.

The W240TN also includes a range of ergonomic features. For those who lead a busier life, listening to music in the gym or whilst they’re out for a run, the buds are IP55 certified – meaning they are water resistant and sweat proof – and feature Edifier’s impressive AI call noise cancellation technology, which allows users to enjoy clear and life-like call audio without external noise interfering. To ensure your safety whilst listening to your favourite artists or calling an old friend, the W240TN also comes with an optional ‘Ambient Mode’ designed to allow environmental sounds (like car engines, tannoy callouts or dogs barking) to seep through into your listening.

Designed to keep up to speed with the modern individual, bustling from one situation to the next, the W240TN are lastly compatible with the Edifier Connect App – which gives smartphones users the option to customize their call settings, EQ levels, ANC mode and more with the tap of a finger. If you prefer a sturdy button, over a delicate touch sensitive one, the W240TN also comes with handy push controls allowing you to stay in control with ease.

For under $100 the W240TN provides a highly competitive option for audio lovers on a budget and adds to Edifier’s groundbreaking range of consumer audio products.

Price & Availability:

Available for $79.99 on Amazon.com.

TaroWorks Offers Second Round of $20,000 Grant to Help Last Mile Distributors Scale with Mobile Tech

Leave a comment

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — TaroWorks, the offline mobile field service app, is awarding a $20,000 grant (funded by Qualcomm through its Qualcomm® Wireless Reach™ initiative) to subsidize the digitization of a social enterprise or for-profit organization’s last mile distribution operations in vulnerable communities.

TaroWorks, whose mobile app helps last mile distributors manage and gain greater visibility into sales, inventory, and product maintenance while offline in places like rural India, will award the $20,000 grant to a qualified social enterprise or for-profit organization to contribute to the cost of configuring and deploying TaroWorks’ inventory management system – TaroWorks Enterprise. TaroWorks is accepting applications for the grant from now until October 14, 2022. This is the second round of the grant, the first round focused on nonprofits during the spring of 2022.

“We have heard from many organizations that they lack the financial support they need to implement digital solutions to serve the last mile,” said TaroWorks CEO Brent Chism. “Qualcomm® Wireless Reach™ is covering the costs of designing and implementing TaroWorks tools for one of those organizations, which at the same time will help us learn from last mile distribution managers about what their industry needs to better serve base-of-pyramid communities.”

“Qualcomm is excited to continue our long-term partnership with TaroWorks, and to help drive the impact of nonprofits making a difference by distributing life-changing goods at the last mile,” said Angela Baker, Chief Sustainability Officer, Qualcomm. Qualcomm Wireless Reach has been a proud supporter of TaroWorks since 2014.

Making Last Mile Delivery More Effective

“Distributors who are serving these ‘last mile’ populations…play a crucial role in sustainable development by driving demand for beneficial products and delivering them to hard-to-reach consumers,” wrote leaders of the Global Distributors Collective (GDC), a worldwide coalition of last mile distributors who reach more than 33 million people in last mile households with solar lights, clean cookstoves, and water filters. “While the importance of last mile distribution is increasingly recognized, funding is still not flowing into this space,” they added.

Last mile delivery is considered “the most inefficient process of the entire supply chain” according to a majority of transportation and logistics companies surveyed in a 2020 study of the U.S. and Canadian industry sector. The same group agrees it is critical for companies to “ensure a mobile-first strategy around last mile delivery” by using smartphones, tablets and task-specific apps to improve operations. 

TaroWorks Enterprise helps organizations gain transparency in their last mile operations around procuring, transferring, warehousing, and distributing goods. The offline mobile field service app also enables organizations to collect data, analyze metrics, monitor performance and manage field teams from mobile devices when working in remote areas with little internet or phone service. 

Grant Application Deadline and Evaluation Criteria

TaroWorks will evaluate applications based on business need, potential for long-term success with the system, estimated long-term impact, and financial need. For more information and to apply for the grant funding, visit the TaroWorks Enterprise Grant page.

TaroWorks is a SaaS product integrated with the Salesforce.com CRM platform, so grant applicants must be current or planned Salesforce users in order to be eligible for consideration.

TaroWorks LLC is a social enterprise that sells an offline mobile field services management platform to help organizations operating at the last mile enhance inventory management, monitoring and evaluation, sales, case management and agent network performance in the field. Its mission is to improve product and service delivery to the poor by bringing real-time data across the last mile to use for business decision-making. TaroWorks is a subsidiary of Grameen Foundation.

Step into the Gateway to the Future

As a brand, HONOR has consistent investment in Spatial Audio, AI and AR technologies, to unlock immersive experiences and  get ready for the next digital revolution.


Unveiled during HONOR’s IFA keynote session, Gateway to the Future is a new HONOR Talents initiative designed to enrich cultural heritage through the power of technology. In collaboration with ARLOOPA, HONOR challenged two renowned artists – Yunuene and Timo Helgert – to creatively reimagine the iconic Wasserschloss building located in Hamburg’s Speicherstadt, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The AR experience is now live on-location in Speicherstadt, and is also available for users to view at home via the ARLOOPA app, offering smartphone users a new way to discover cultural treasures through immersive AR. The campaign video is available here: https://youtu.be/7rwwZQw2C4M.

Introducing HONOR’s Spatial Audio

Announced during IFA 2022, HONOR’s Spatial Audio solution is designed to enable headphones to produce wide, cinematic 3D sound effects that create the sense of immersion required for next-generation AR and VR experiences.

At its core, HONOR’s Spatial Audio is designed to deliver surround sound and 3D audio through headphones by using the accelerometer and gyroscopes in earbuds to track the motion of the user’s head, remapping the sound field to bring users an immersive and delightful audio experience in all scenarios such as movies, music and games. And by means of the algorithm, the changes of sound on its way from the source to the listener’s ear can be simulated. These effects include localization of sound sources above, below, behind and in the front of the listener.

HONOR’s Spatial Audio is the first to support sound externalization distance adjustment, providing users to dynamically adjust the distance of virtual sound sources from 0.15 to 10 meters to suit a more personalized listening experience.

HONOR Talents: Applications for Interactive AR Artwork Category Now Open

Complementing the initiative, HONOR has introduced a dedicated Interactive AR Artwork category as part of its HONOR Talents global design competition. Within the category, contestants are invited to produce digital AR artworks which creatively transform their neighborhoods, including digital overlays for buildings, walls, parks, and other public spaces, helping to get communities closer to culture. Artists interested in the contest can find more information here: https://www.hihonor.com/honor-talents/en/ 

HONOR also partnered with the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) in China to create a new AR artwork titled INFINITY. The phy-gital experience showcases an artistic interpretation of the universe, which the creative team comprising CAFA faculty members and students use as an analogy to promote intercultural dialogue. The art is available at HONOR’s IFA booth through the ARLOOPA app.

HONOR Transforms Iconic Cultural Landmark Through the Power of Technology

Leave a comment

New Gateway to the Future Initiative Aims to Make Culture More Accessible and Engaging in the Era of the Metaverse

BERLIN, Sept. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Global technology brand HONOR today announced Gateway to the Future, an initiative designed to enrich cultural heritage through the power of technology. Launched during its IFA 2022 keynote, HONOR challenged two popular artists to creatively reimagine the Wasserschloss, an iconic landmark located in Hamburg’s Speicherstadt, a UNESCO World Heritage Site using augmented reality (AR). Set against the backdrop of surging interest in the metaverse and the growth of hybrid tourism, the project aims to inspire global creative talent to leverage innovations such as AI, AR and Spatial Audio to connect communities with culture in more immersive ways and support the global tourism rebound, as the world embraces the connected future.

“As a global technology company, HONOR is committed to developing smart device technology which enables people to celebrate and experience cultural treasures from the past while also discovering the possibilities of the future,” said George Zhao, CEO of HONOR Device Co, Ltd. “We predict the rise of AR and AI technologies being used to create even more phy-gital experiences for smartphone users around the world, contributing to the hybrid tourism boom. Beyond tourism, this technology has the potential to benefit a number of other industries and communities. It really is the Gateway to the Future.”


Celebrating Cultural Heritage in the Metaverse

Renowned for being Germany ‘s “Gateway to the World,” Hamburg evolved from a port city to a thriving metropolis by embracing a longstanding culture of community, collaboration and innovation. Inspired by the city’s history of transformation, HONOR chose Hamburg as the pilot location for the project, with the aim of contributing to the digital cultural boom and inspiring people from all around the world to reimagine cultural treasures in the metaverse.

To bring the project to life, HONOR partnered with ARLOOPA, an AR and VR development company, and celebrated artists Yunuene and Timo Helgert, who creatively transformed the famous Wasserschloss building in AR. 

Yunuene’s contribution to Gateway to the Future, entitled “Sailing Through Time” pays tribute to the evolution of the city’s port, showing how innovation in marine logistics transformed over time with her signature visual aesthetic. Timo Helgert’s experience “Blooming Future” takes a more futuristic approach, playing on Hamburg’s status as one of the greenest cities of the world and creatively imagining what the Wasserschloss would look like in a green future where beautiful plants and endangered species can thrive, taking this historic landmark into an otherworldly realm.

Unlocking Immersive Experiences through the Power of AI and AR

Through the experience, HONOR also contributes to hybrid tourism, an emerging trend following the global tourism rebound, whereby travelers are expecting digital advances made during the pandemic to benefit and augment physical travel experiences. The AR experiences at the Wasserschloss bring the digital and physical worlds together, allowing travelers to experience culture a totally new way. HONOR has been consistently investing in technologies including AI Space Identification, Spatial Audio and AR to enable enhanced immersive experiences fit for the digital revolution.

“The Warehouse District was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2015 with the aim of protecting and preserving the history and culture of one of the world’s largest trading ports. Through the advent of emerging technologies including augmented reality, it is now possible to educate and engage future generations about cultural heritage in new and exciting ways. We were therefore proud to be able to help HONOR’s Gateway to the Future initiative, which not only offers a celebration of the district’s significance to Germany, but also its exciting future as a global metropolis,” said Bernd Paulowitz, Head of UNESCO World Heritage Hamburg.

“With tourism soaring to new heights following years of global lockdowns, it’s great to see brands like HONOR bringing new and enriched experiences to people as they start to explore the world again. This summer, our city saw again the same level in visitors as in summer 2019, which in part has been due to new interactive cultural attractions enabled by technology. Inspired by Hamburg’s status as the Gateway to the World, we’re thrilled to partner with the Gateway to the Future initiative, which we are confident will allow visitors and residents of Hamburg alike to connect with the UNESCO World Heritage Speicherstadt in more immersive ways. We are witnessing a huge demand for hybrid experiences, with travelers increasingly expecting a virtual layer to their interactions with cultural landmarks. This is the right time to harness the power of technology in tourism to create magical experiences for tourists around the world,” said, Guido Neumann, Head of PR of Hamburg Tourism Board.

Reimagine Your Community with HONOR Talents

Launched as part of the HONOR Talents Global Design Awards, Gateway to the Future also aims to inspire creative talent from all around the world to harness technology and reimagine their own communities in the era of the metaverse.

17 Sing App Celebrates 7th Anniversary

Leave a comment

A New Journey Opens for Music Socialization

TAIPEI, Aug. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — In August 2022, 17 Sing app launched the theme activity “Invite you to burn the summer in the name of love” to share the joy of the seventh anniversary celebration with users. It is also hoped that through this online interaction, users will be able to communicate with each other in the app and further develop into a high-quality music social app.

In 2015, the 17 Sing app surpassed 500,000 registered users within six months of its launch and topped the APP Store download charts for three consecutive years. In seven years, users have covered Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, and many other Chinese-speaking regions. Countless young people in the Chinese-speaking circle love to sing karaoke and socialize, and have contributed countless exquisite and interesting high-quality karaoke works. In the future, the app will continue to invest in strong tech research to provide powerful online karaoke functions to help them better learn professional singing skills; it will also create a fun, interesting and interactive integration for music lovers’ social platform.

When it comes to the user affirmations and achievements obtained by the 17 Sing APP, Jason Hong, the CEO of 17 Sing, said, “I am extremely proud of what we have achieved in the past seven years. I am honoured to lead this diverse business and the nearly three hundred people who make this company better and bring their best to work every day. The brand is a very young company, and every day that passes is worth celebrating, especially as we mark the milestone of our seventh anniversary. I celebrate not only the growth of our brand but also the direction in which we are taking our business, from understanding user needs to enhancing the user experience. At the same time, we have also made great strides in developing our product features.”

Since the launch of the app, we have continued to develop new features for online karaoke, such as the “Private Chorus”, “AI Rating”, “Personalised MV”, “Quick Sing” and other interactive modes, as well as a series of powerful sound effects for users to choose from. In the future, 17 Sing will continue to update its Karaoke features, starting with improving the user’s singing experience by combining powerful artificial intelligence technology, changing the pitch of singing through analysis, and developing the “One Click Voice Repair” function. In line with the development direction of technological innovation, the 17 Sing app team has been continuously investing in research and development staff to update and optimise the core karaoke functions. In the future, “One Click Voice Repair” will become a special feature of 17 Sing, helping more ordinary users to experience the charm of singing through technology.

In addition to the core Karaoke function, 17 Sing has also launched the “Music Community” and “Live Streaming” functions. These features are based on modern young people’s passion for music and the pursuit of music dreams. Only when users can share common topics in terms of their views or interests can they be motivated to create content in the app, making the conversation endless. They can also tell their stories to others through karaoke room interaction, retweeting, sharing, commenting, and sending circle messages to further deepen their emotional connection. 

Hailee, Vice President and co-founder of the app, said, “After seven years of entrepreneurship, we are very grateful to our users who have supported us along the way. Reaching out to a global Chinese audience from Taiwan has allowed us to reach a wider audience and share the story behind our brand. This journey has created a unique connection with our users, as the app blends music interests with social interaction, and users have grown up on this ground, making a connection that cannot be found in other areas through a commercial model. We are excited to continue to develop the brand with our users.” 

The mobile web has activated the era of social networking for all, such as stranger social networking, marriage social networking, acquaintance social networking, workplace social networking, and so on. Among the many social sub-segments, social interests are a strong demand that cannot be ignored. Music plays an important role in people’s social lives, and in the app, music becomes a second language for communication, helping users to expand their new friendship circles and build emotional connections. Users can also run their own clan in the app, forming groups or inviting others to sing and chat with them. The difference is that in a clan, users can use music as an anchor point to meet new friends who share the same interests and are not limited to acquaintances.

In its seventh anniversary year, Jubilee also launched the “Music Community,” which allows users to make friends with music lovers in the music community through social features. In the coming years, this app will further develop functions that combine music and social interaction to connect users with music-based social interaction and enrich the user experience.

With the optimisation and addition of new features, from recording to choral singing, from chatting to live streaming, the gameplay has become more varied with more improved functions, attracting thousands of singers who share a passion for karaoke to meet at 17 Sing, building an active creative atmosphere on the platform and leaving countless beautiful songs and memories together. In the “Seventh Anniversary, My Story with 17 Sing” campaign, users shared their stories. There are numerous heartwarming moments.

A: “Aaron (UID: 5263822)”: I remember very clearly that I first played on 25th April 2015 and sang my first song, “SpongeBob”, on 6th September.

Q: What is your favourite feature of 17 Sing?
A: “Myth Gao Xiaoxiao (UID: 3686895)”: Simply recording works when you don’t want to reveal your face. On the contrary, you can record MV when you want to express yourself. There is also the new community, which I really appreciate. I will use it to write daily updates to share my feelings.
A: “Aaron (UID: 5263822)”: Every feature on 17 Sing has its own merits and meaning, and I like every one of them.

Q: What did you learn from 17 Sing?
A: “Aaron (UID: 5263822)”: I have gained a lot along the way in the past seven years. I have met a group of like-minded friends and met my other half on 17 Sing.

Q: Do you have anything to say to 17 Sing?
A: “Nicole (UID: 167213)”: I’ve been playing for seven years and I think that the sound quality is better than other platforms, and I’ve put a lot of effort into the management. The main point is that you don’t need a lot of equipment to record well, and it’s so touching that you can record a song with just one earphone.
A: “Aaron (UID: 5263822)“: Since I started downloading it back then, I’ve been using it as a diary to post all my moods. I think I’ve grown a lot from being a socially indifferent person at the beginning to having a wide social circle now.

The new V25 series follows V series’ heritage of capturing exquisite moments with its superior camera capabilities and cutting-edge imaging technology. The flagship-level 64MP OIS ultra-sensing camera on the back minimizes blurry shots and supports a longer exposure time, creating clearer and brighter images and videos even in dim lighting conditions. With an eye-catching design, the Color Changing Fluorite AG Glass[1] covering the rear panel changes its hue when exposed to UV light, reflecting the dynamic personalities of users. Below its beautiful appearance lies a powerful processor with high energy-efficiency ratio and great capacity. Coupled with the newest cooling technology and fast charging capabilities, it offers a long-lasting and smooth mobile experience in various scenarios.

“vivo V series has always been about being innovative and technologically advanced, while exuding style and encouraging users to create, have fun, and explore. The new V25 and V25 Pro continue to embody this concept and provide users with fresh tools and features,” said Spark Ni, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at vivo, “vivo understands that users want a smartphone that is aesthetically pleasing and has excellent functional attributes. With the carefully designed new devices, users can capture the best moments in life with their family and friends anywhere, any time with intuitive camera technologies, while expressing their creativity and emotions through the unique color-changing design.”
