Today I am going to review a bluetooth speaker this one is a from a company called Edifier small national company established in Beijing, China in May 1996 that initially focused within the China domestic market, in which it is a market leader today selling varies sound products. The speaker looks like they were thinking thin and small but keeping it a powerful speaker the speaker costs about $99.99 USD but could be lower as low as $60 depending on where you buy the product the speaker also comes with Free shipping if brought on Amazon, so that’s all you will pay. So not bad for the price but how does it perform? That’s what this review intends to show you, so read on….

The Review:
The packaging, is a clear box which shows the Extreme Connect through the box for retail purposes as well as on the back a small amount of info talking about features of the Extreme Connect
The speaker does have two identifying marks on it which is the Edifier logo on the top where the buttons are followed by the Edifier product name and tech specs on the bottom of the speaker This speaker indeed lives up to the fresh design in my opinion…
The speaker comes with a limited warranty, Instruction manual in Spanish and English as well a miniUSB cable to charge the speaker and AUX cable in case you don’t like or want to use Bluetooth Another cool extra is the carrying bag so you can keep your speaker protected
On the left side of the speaker you will find a place to put the included DC-USB to charge the speaker as well the Micro-SD card slot and Line in Aux on the top you will also find the power, call ,pause/play,forward and backward ,volume up and down and the blue/red light to show when its in pairing or when the power is on
Pairing
This speaker is very easy just turn on your bluetooth setting on your device then turn on the speaker I should tell you that if you want to pair another device you must turn off the first device before pairing the speaker with another device
Sound Quality:
I used these for a few weeks and I found this speaker was terrific for using Pandora, watching YouTube videos my tablet and phone and from my Macbook I airplayed the video to my tv while the audio was streamed to the speaker I tricked a my friends and family into thinking I had a huge home entertainment system
Conclusion:
So yes the speaker is expensive for most budgets, but is it even worth it? I would say yes if you want a bluetooth speaker but with the power of a home entertainment system and you won’t break the bank then with some other same powerful bluetooth speakers Something I really liked about this speaker was the bluetooth connection is secure and noise free also there is a increase in connection distance exceeding the advertised 30 foot to slightly over 40 feet The microphone pickup angles gave an excellent performance during testing. The headset does seem well made and it does have features like good sounding bass, dustproof
So in all it’s not bad for a bluetooth speaker,But I think they could fix the problem with having to disconnect your device’s bluetooth just to connect another device to the speaker, The final score averages out to be a 9 out of 10, but that takes into account everything, but as you can see below it the pros out do the cons by a long shot.
| PROS | CONS |
| +Inexpensive +Seems well made +Sound is very good and lives up to being a powerful Bluetooth Speaker |
-Have to disconnect bluetooth on the device to reconnect to another device |
