My good friend Pritam recommended this speaker to me. I went to his store and started listening to it and before I knew it, 3 hours had passed, and it was 9:30 pm! I bought it on the spot, had dinner, came home, and listened to it till 1 am.
During and after my listening session I realized a few things that made me fall in love with this speaker and it’s these things that compel me to write this review. I believe more people should know how beautiful a product this is. First and most important I like is its sound which I think is very natural and balanced. All the frequencies, especially the lower ones, come across extremely naturally with perfect weight and emotion. Personally, I’d give male vocals a slight edge over female vocals (I’m nitpicking). Second is its feature set which is very good with Bluetooth, Airplay, USB in, and Aux in being available. I am using this over Airplay, and it works oh so nicely! The fact that it allows me to listen to my music uninterrupted is so refreshingly good as it is something that was not possible for me with the Bluetooth speakers I was using earlier (too many interruptions with calls, notifications, alerts). Third, its battery life is very strong, I’d say 8-10 hours easy. Given its sound quality, size, and volume which is sufficient for my 20 x 12 hall, I think this is an excellent feat. Fourth are its looks. Its theme for me would be less is more, simple, and elegant. It has a very tasteful design that reeks of class!
And now I come to an aspect that I just realized how much I missed. I am an IEM collector and have numerous IEMs. I am used to high-quality sound and thus never really enjoyed speakers. I used to have my IEMS in my ears for long hours. The downside to this was that I could not talk to anyone. With this Edifier speaker, I now do not miss my IEMs. I have the high-quality sound that I’m used to (even at low volumes) and can carry on conversations with people around me. Even at Pritam’s store where I was testing this speaker for 3+ hours, it felt so good to chill and listen to good quality music and still be able to talk at the same time. It has a very pleasant sound that I just want to keep listening to.
I am 1,000% satisfied with my purchase.
