I Tried an Unfamiliar Five-Star Speaker and Was Astounded by Its Performance
The Edifier ES300 home speaker has made a strong impression in the world of home audio, with its unique blend of modern features and a subtle nod to retro design.
The speaker's design is a superb package that was enjoyable to test. It boasts a lovely grille on the front, making it suitable for bookshelves or countertops. The standout detail is a subtle downward-facing light that lines the bottom of the speaker, giving it a mid-century modern aesthetic. The leather-effect surface on the sides and top adds a touch of sophistication, making it an attractive addition to any interior.
The ES300 speaker delivers a rich and full sound that can fill a room. Equipped with a superb set of drivers, it offers wireless connectivity for added convenience. While it may not have the same brand recognition as Sonos, it still warrants attention.
The speaker's controls on the top are designed for non-phone usage, making it easy to adjust the volume or switch tracks without the need for a smartphone. However, it may not be suitable for a multi-room setup controlled in one place. Instead, it might be better suited as a standalone speaker for home audio setups.
Despite being a home speaker, the ES300 is not focused on portability but has a built-in battery for flexibility. This feature allows for wireless mobility without compromising on sound quality.
Edifier, the brand behind the ES300, is worth noting for future releases. The company's product range extends from home and desktop speakers like the ES300, to noise-cancelling headphones in the EVO series. Comparatively, the ES300 likely focuses on home audio performance, while the MR5 and R1280DB cater to desktop users with different sound tuning and budgets. The EVO series headphones serve personal, portable listening needs.
In conclusion, the Edifier ES300 home speaker offers a unique combination of modern features and retro design. Its impressive sound quality and aesthetically pleasing design make it an attractive option for home audio enthusiasts. The reviewer found the ES300 speaker impressive and will pay more attention to Edifier's future products.
