Third-party reviews

What customers like about Cubedge Edge Sound

  • Sleek and compact industrial design
  • Eco-friendly build utilizing highly recyclable aluminum and PVC-free materials
  • Versatile placement options allowing it to stand horizontally or vertically
  • Includes a built-in microphone for speakerphone and wireless calls
  • Good connectivity options including Bluetooth and a 3.5mm AUX input jack
  • Decent battery life offering up to 10 to 14 hours of playback according to specifications

What customers don't like about Cubedge Edge Sound

  • Mediocre and thin overall sound quality
  • Lacks adequate bass response and low-end frequencies
  • High price tag ($149 MSRP) making it a poor value compared to better-performing competitors
  • Real-world battery life underperforms manufacturer specs during heavy usage, dropping to around 8 hours
  • Somewhat heavy and bulky for pocket transport, requiring a backpack for true portability

Verdict

The Cubedge Edge.sound is a compact portable Bluetooth 3.0 wireless speaker weighing 10 ounces and measuring approximately 6 inches long by 2 inches wide. It features a built-in microphone for speakerphone calls, an integrated digital amplifier pushing out up to 95 dB of volume, a 3.5mm auxiliary input, and an eco-friendly design incorporating a recycled aluminum grille and PVC-free materials. Main advantages include its highly portable, durable rubberized design and an impressive battery life rating of 10 to 14+ hours of continuous playback. However, its primary downsides are a dated Bluetooth version and a sound signature that reviewers note feels flat and mediocre in out-of-the-box tuning unless adjusted via an external equalizer.
