Edifier MP230 Portable Bluetooth Speaker, Wireless Speaker with Stereo Sound for Home & Outdoor Travel, 9h Playtime, Supports AUX, USB-C, TF Card, 20W RMS - Classic Wooden

For some reason none of our TVs like Spotify so I got this speaker for the kitchen/dining room. Setup was quick and easy. I’ve gotten lots of compliments on it - it looks great but it’s also compact so that it’s hardly noticeable (I have it on our dry bar). Sound packs a punch for this little speaker and build quality seems very good. I would def purchase again if needed.

Good sound. Much smaller than I thought

Great sound and the bass is good!

Overall this is a nice small bluetooth speaker, the sound is ok for its size, good value, the only downside is the Edifier IOS/Android apps do not support this model, so if you are using the SD card option (which is why I purchased this unit) there is no way to manage play back if you have a lot of songs on the card, I wish they update their apps to support this speaker.

It looks super cute, good sound and hold charge for a long time.

I've already reviewed a different color version of this radio but here's one for the retro wooden version.Let's start with the things that I like:- Appearance. I like the fact that it isn't completely plastic or rubber coated like 99% of the bluetooth speakers on the market. It is vinyl wrapped, but the vinyl wraps proper MDF (which is a great material for speaker cabinets). This should also give it slightly better acoustics, which it seems to. Has a nice retro look to it and it doesn't have any gimmicky LED lights that randomly flash at you. It fits into a decor pretty easily without being noticed, which I like.- Stereo sound. It has two drivers in it for a legit Left and Right Stereo channel. I verified this with a Right/Left sound test. Granted, the drivers are close together since this is a small-ish unit, but the stereo sound is appreciated vs. a lot of other units that went mono in this form factor (the majority of Bose and JBL now).- Operation is simple. Bluetooth paired easily and the buttons on the front are nice to push (rather than having to hunt for mostly illegible buttons covered in rubber like most bluetooth speakers). It reminds me of an old cassette deck, which is good.- 3.5mm input and SD card slot. Both are nice features that sadly a lot of speakers are phasing out. That means you can directly hook a tuner to it, record player (with phono preamp), CD player, PC, etc.- Packaged well and in an attractive box.On to the sound:It sounds good and certainly a lot better than most speakers under $50. In the $100 category, this one equals others that I have heard but does not necessarily eclipse them. It has a nice warm-ish tone to it and should not fatigue you if listening to it for extended periods. Bass is nice, but they advertise that the low-end response only goes down to 70Hz, which I agree with. It seems to have a slight boost in the 80-100Hz range, which is nice. For a speaker of this size that's about what I'd expect. If this were a larger form-factor it'd probably dig a little deeper, but for the size it does well. They advertise a class D amp @ up to 35WPC and it certainly sounds like it has some power behind the volume.I can't really find any major faults with it. It's only USB 5.0, but if you are using Spotify or Pandora this provides enough bandwidth for their HQ settings right now. On a little bluetooth speaker like this I doubt you'd notice a difference between a lossless file and a 320kbps mp3 anyways.Overall I like the speaker and if this fits your interior aesthetic it'd be a good one. While the sound is on-par with others in the price category the little touches like the MDF enclosure, rubber feet and the nice push buttons on the front make this a unique and interesting choice. I'm glad companies are making decent looking "home" bluetooth speakers rather than the typical waterproof rubber and plastic fare. Not everyone wants a speaker for a beach party; a lot of these go into a kitchen or dining room and people want them to fit the typical home decor (as this one does). Sometimes speakers should blend into the area, not stand out with flashing LEDs and rubber coating.

These were packaged incredibly well, and they looked gorgeous on my desk. Unfortunately, the sound was just not worth the cost. It was lacking warmth in the middle and any semblance of bass. My JBL Go 3 has better overall dynamic range (which is not to say those are fantastic speakers, but they're less than 1/4 of the size and about 1/3 of the cost full price.) Wanted to love these, but they're going back.

Not as loud as I would like and the bass doesn’t really go very hard. I have to charge quite a bit because the batteries die fast. Super cute though.
