Edifier's MP230 portable Bluetooth speaker brings a vintage Mad Men vibe to your bookshelf while it delivers sweet tunes to your ears.
If you look too quickly, you might think the Edifier MP230 Bluetooth Speaker is actually a bedside radio from the ‘60s. While visually, that’s by design on Edifier’s part, the performance of this handsome little Bluetooth speaker is more than its surface-level aesthetics.
Design and build: It really ties a shelf together Edifier is being pretty intentional about this speaker’s design. The marketing site clearly states that they’re inspired by classic radios of the ‘50s and ‘60s, and while there are some aspects of this I find to be true, the look of the MP230 is decidedly a merger between modern and retro.
The verdict on the physical build of this speaker is that most listeners won’t be disappointed. It looks great on a bookshelf, in an office, or indeed on a bedside table. And because it’s so small it doesn’t occupy too much of a footprint alongside the rest of its shelf-mates. It doesn’t, however, look at home on a blanket in the park.
So what does this all mean in practice? Well, if you’re listening to “typical music” with average compression — Top 40 mixes or official Spotify playlists — the MP230 is pretty well optimized. The richness in the lower end of the spectrum does wonders for adding fullness to the sound. It does, however, come across just a bit muddy on the vocal side. So, if you listen to podcasts or acoustic music, you might find it a touch distracting.
