EarFun Audio App Adds “EarFun Chime” Feature to Replace Voice Guidance

EarFun Technology has added a new feature to its dedicated iOS and Android app, EarFun Audio, allowing users to replace voice guidance for actions such as power-on and pairing start with smart chime sounds. Users can access the feature for free by registering a supported product in the EarFun Audio app and selecting “EarFun Chime” from the settings screen. Note: Supported product information is current as of May 2026, with further expansion planned. “EarFun Chime” was created through a joint project by Tobias Philippen, a professional musician and sound engineer mainly active in Germany, and creative consultant Christoph Geradts. Philippen has long worked in music production, arrangement, and live performance, earning recognition for delicate sound design and expressive audio. For “EarFun Chime,” he was solely responsible for sound design, translating everyday operations such as power-on, connection, and noise-cancelling mode changes into simple, clearly identifiable, and refined sounds. Over roughly eight months, the team repeatedly refined the concept and fine details. From 33 sound sets ultimately produced, they carefully selected 11, thoroughly verifying each sound’s role and texture to optimize the chimes as part of the brand experience. Key features include: a dedicated sound set designed to replace default voice guidance; professional sound design and supervision; 11 sound sets selected from 33 candidates; intuitive notifications for earbud connection, operation, and status; and simple sounds with clear recognizability and refined texture. Requirements and setup: users need the latest version of the EarFun Audio app, version 20.1.45 or later on Android and 20.6.6 or later on iOS, and must update supported products to the latest firmware. After updating the app and firmware, the “EarFun Chime” option will appear in the “Voice Guidance Settings” screen for supported models. Tapping it disables language-specific prompt sounds, after which chimes will play during connection and status changes. EarFun Technology was founded in 2018 by a team of experienced industrial designers, acoustic engineers, and music enthusiasts with the goal of creating next-generation wireless audio devices. Its true wireless earbud products, including the multifunctional EarFun Free Pro 3 and the sound-focused flagship EarFun Air Pro 4, have become bestsellers worldwide and have won honors including the CES 2020/2024 Innovation Awards and the iF Design Award 2020. EarFun says it devotes substantial time and effort to every product, from exterior design and real-world fit testing to feedback-based improvements, mass production, and shipping, while strictly managing the entire process. In quality control, the company applies especially strict rules, including three rounds of full inspection before shipment, and maintains what it considers an industry-leading quality assurance system. Under the belief that technology should become part of people’s lives and improve quality of life, and under the slogan “Better Sound, Better Life,” EarFun continues working to deliver products and user experiences that further satisfy customers.
