Edifier has released a new set of wired in-ear earphones, the Hecate Hunter S, currently available on JD.com. They are priced at 221 yuan ($32), with an initial launch price of 199 yuan ($29).

Edifier Hecate Hunter S Specifications

Inside the earbuds, Edifier is using 10mm dual-chamber dynamic drivers. The diaphragm is made from a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) dome with a titanium plating. Edifier says this specific combination of materials helps with the bass and treble response. The earphones have a frequency response range of 20Hz to 40kHz and a sensitivity of 97dB.

Instead of relying entirely on the audio processing of the device you plug them into, the Hunter S has a built-in DSP and a DAC chip integrated into the cable. It supports audio playback up to 384kHz/32-bit and has a Hi-Res certification.

For gaming, the earphones include THX-customized spatial audio with a 7.1.4-channel configuration. This includes vertical sound positioning, which is designed to help players hear audio cues like footsteps or reloads from above or below them in a game. Through the companion Hecate software, you can access preset EQ profiles for games like Valorant, Counter-Strike, and Delta Force, or adjust the EQ settings manually to your preference.

The earphones use an over-ear cable routing design and an inverted-triangle housing to keep them in place while in use. Edifier says that the design provides up to 30dB of passive noise isolation. The included cable is a 2-meter braided oxygen-free copper wire. It connects via USB-C, making it compatible with Android phones, iPads, the Nintendo Switch, and the PlayStation 5.

The earbuds feature an inline remote with a built-in silicon microphone supporting 48kHz/24-bit voice sampling, along with controls for volume, media playback, and calls. They also feature a durable cable rated for up to 8kg of pulling force, while the buttons and USB connector are rated for 10,000 clicks and 5,000 insertions, respectively.

In related news, 1MORE has recently launched AiClip S52 clip-on earbuds with 11mm drivers, AI transcription, and translation, while QCY has launched the affordable T13 Pro earbuds with 50dB ANC, 13mm drivers, and up to 49 hours of battery life.
