What customers are saying

The speakers offer excellent sound quality, especially in the bass range, for the price. They are compact in size with a sleek design and easy setup. However, some users experienced issues with Bluetooth connectivity, reporting intermittent connection problems or the Bluetooth feature failing over time. Additionally, a few reviewers felt the mid-range could be improved and that the speakers may not be powerful enough for larger rooms. Overall, the speakers provide great value and performance, though the Bluetooth reliability is a potential concern.

    They bump for the price!

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - November 26, 2023

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These things are pretty incredible for just over 100 bucks. Small yet powerful and they actually have good base for their size. The build is also super nice and clean. I am impressed and super happy with these speakers.

    Wow. Incredible sound for $149…

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - April 11, 2024

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First & foremost, I’ll address what is most important from a pair of Bluetooth speakers: The sound. Wow. The treble & bass knobs really help tune that perfect sound quality. Secondly, they are simple. They connect quickly and without issues. I also love that they have a convenient little remote that I lay on ly bedside stand. Id say these are perfect for a small bedroom, office, garage, or to use as desktop speakers (if you have a large desk as they’re not exactly small). Definitely a good buy!

    Not ready for prime time

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - May 29, 2021

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these with the intent of having higher quality speakers in the shop to run off my phone via bluetooth. Soundwise, they're pretty good, but I didnt compare them to other speakers in the same price range. Therefore I can't really can't comment any further regarding sound quality. The remote is pretty cheesey and the battery tray does not stay in securely. Their downfall is in the bluetooth dept. Bluetooth with these speakers was pitiful for their pricepoint. I have $15 ear buds that work better than these. Frequent jumping in playback made listening to music unenjoyable while working. Wanted to think it was just a glitch, but 2nd pair did same thing. Took them back immediately.

    Best speakers I've ever owned.

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - December 13, 2021

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely blown away by the quality of these speakers. I have them on my desktop connected via bluetooth to my Mac Mini. They pack a nice punch and the sound quality is crystal clear. Took me about 5 minutes to get them plugged in and hooked up to bluetooth. They are beautiful too. Cannot recommend these speakers enough. OUTSTANDING SPEAKERS ALL AROUND. 5 stars!

    Good Quality

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - May 15, 2020

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use these for my record player and I wasn't disappointed. I could use a bit more bass but I'm please with the functionality of these speakers. I mainly use them for the record player, but I can also sync them to my phone and TV. I would definitely recommend!

    GREAT COMPUTER SPEAKERS!

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - August 16, 2025

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm 100% home office, so I wanted a great speaker setup for music and remote web meetings. These are excellent quality. They connect to my Sound Blaster X5 via a SPDIF connection. Highly recommend!

    Hope you're a nerd

    Reviewed by New Android "Developer" - November 27, 2020

    The speakers sound great. I wanted to pay for quality sound via bluetooth without paying for lithium battery portability which I don't need. So, these speakers fit the bill exactly. Really, they sound superb, as I suspected from other reviews. But, if you are on an Android phone and want to control volume from them, be prepared to become an Android "developer". Edifier's human support is severely lacking but they did have the answer to how you can use your Android to perform this very basic function that, really, is built in to every $20 bluetooth speaker gadget these days. This is the procedure which I eventually found on their website: "You will need to disable absolute volume in the phone. First, enable developer options. To do this, go to Device Settings, then scroll down and select "About Phone. " From there, tap on "Software Information" and locate the "Build Number" entry. Once you've found it, tap on "Build Number" seven times in rapid succession, developer options will then be available on the settings menu of the phone. Go into developer options and toggle the button for "disable absolute volume." Restart the phone and this should allow you to control the volume of the speakers from the phone. " Can you imagine explaining this to dad over the phone? -1 star because of this, otherwise 5. Love the sound (for the price)
