EDIFIER MP85: Compact and Delightful

Introduction
This is my first time reviewing a Bluetooth speaker, and this particular one is quite interesting. It's compact and light, yet it delivers powerful sound.

Edifier is a popular brand known for its speakers, though it eventually entered the true wireless scene. Audiophiles and casual audio lovers alike tend to like Edifier because it offers great sound quality without breaking the bank.

Build and Functions
The MP85 was released in 2023 in other countries, but in my country, it was released last year. Until now, this is a hot-selling item. Because of its compact and lightweight design, the overall vibe it gives me is like an amplifier that has some ports for instruments.

The overall build is made out of plastic, which is common in this price range. The only metal here is the lanyard hook slot, which is a nice touch from Edifier. By the way, the lanyard is also included in the box, but of course, you can provide your own. I didn't test this while hiking since that's not my line and hobby, to begin with.

This has 3 buttons that are also made out of plastic, but it's a high-quality plastic, same as the housing. The buttons are clicky and have an ample tactile feeling to them.

The Power button is the play and pause button, while the volume buttons serve as forward skip and backward skip. I wish that Edifier had added a button for the 3 EQ modes, since you can only activate them through the app.

Imaginative Kiso Harmonica

The overall sound is that it prioritizes the midrange and highs, since the lows are on the average side. If you're expecting it to have that traditional aggressive bass punch and slam, this is not it, since this only uses a dynamic driver and it has no passive radiator.


Form factor and Size 

The weight of this Bluetooth speaker is around 70grams, which is quite small and compact. 


Bluetooth Specification

This uses Bluetooth version 5.3 which is quite good, it has some decent length and reach.. 


Battery endurance

According to Edifier, this can last up to 8 hours of playback, but in my testing, it does not reach that mark. The closest I can get is around 3-4 hours in full volume, while in low volume, around 4-5 hours.


Charging 

Honestly its quite acceptable for me. The charging output is around 1.5w to a maximum of 2w. In today's standard this is super slow and quite old..

Hidizs AP80 Pro Max: One Release The Spyce.

  Disclaimers This unit that I currently have was provided by HIDIZS, and I was chosen to be part of the Philippines tour for the HIDIZS AP80 Pro Max. This gave Me The opportunity to test this device thoroughly; without this opportunity, I would not have had the chance to try out this product, so I am very thankful to HIDIZS. ​I did not receive any form of incentive for this review, and all opinions are my own. ​We all have different ways of hearing sound, so your mileage may vary. Introduction The Hidizs AP80 Pro Max is the latest addition to the series of their DAP releases. Having personal experience with their products, the AP80 Pro Max is a must-have if you're just starting in the hobby. Due to its form factor, it can also pretty much fit in your pockets or bags. Form factor and Size  ​As you can see in the picture, it's too cute for its size. Since it's very compact yet powerful, it's almost like it's not a DAP anymore. When I first unboxed it, I thought it ...

Hidizs AP30: Neverness to Greatness

So, Hidizs decided to release a new product. They've been on a streak lately, especially since I previously reviewed their MyLin, which is a special edition of the MS2 Pro, and my experience with it was quite enjoyable.   This time, we're looking at the newest entry from Hidizs, the AP30. It's an entry-level DAP that brings flagship-inspired features at an affordable price. For me, based on the specs alone, it's already shaping up to be a competitive performer against other products in this price segment. So, will the AP30 claim victory as the retro music boy, or will it surprise me with its performance? Let's find out as I dive into my full assessment and see if this compact DAP truly lives up to its claims.     Disclaimers   I’m not a professional reviewer, just an anime fan and audio hobbyist sharing my personal experiences.

Kz Libra X: STRANGER THAN HEAVEN

 While catching up on some anime, I suddenly remembered the pile of review backlogs waiting for me. So here we are.   This time, we’re looking at an interesting collaboration between Angel Ears and KZ. Collaborations involving Angel Ears aren’t exactly uncommon. They’ve partnered with several brands over the years and have become one of the more recognisable names when it comes to tuning collaborations. KZ lately tends to make a variety of options in the in-ear monitor category, but the main focus of their brand right now is gaming and sound improvements. Compared to their earlier releases, KZ has made noticeable improvements, and honestly, they seem to be finding their footing again in the budget IEM scene. Now, the real question is: will this collaboration prove to be a genuinely competitive piece of gear, or is it simply another product riding the wave of hype? Let’s find out as I dive into my full assessment and share my thoughts. Disclaimers This review is no...
