Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Edifier MG300

  • Affordable pricing with great value for a budget setup
  • Compact and sleek soundbar design that fits easily under a monitor
  • Dual connectivity options via stable Bluetooth 5.3 and direct USB audio streaming
  • Customisable RGB lighting effects with six different color modes
  • Clear vocals and decent sound clarity for its size, featuring dedicated Music and Game EQ modes
  • Includes a built-in hidden microphone for voice calls
  • Simple plug-and-play setup powered completely through a single USB cable

What customers don't like about Edifier MG300

  • Weak low-end performance with a noticeable lack of deep, punchy bass
  • No physical remote control included for distant operation
  • Does not remember the previous volume level after entering standby mode
  • Lacks a traditional 3.5mm auxiliary audio input jack
  • The attached USB power cable is non-removable, making replacement difficult if damaged

Verdict

The Edifier MG300 is a compact tabletop computer soundbar and Bluetooth speaker featuring dual 52mm full-frequency drivers with dual inverter tubes that deliver a total RMS output power of 5W (2.5W x 2) across a frequency response of 80Hz–20kHz. It boasts an integrated USB-A sound card for driver-less PC audio streaming, Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity with a wireless range of up to 30 meters, six dynamic RGB lighting effects, dedicated music and game EQ modes, and a built-in hidden microphone for voice calls. Main advantages include its space-saving desktop footprint, a simple single-cable setup that handles both power and audio streaming over USB, and low wireless audio latency. However, its overall bass response is noticeably weak for gaming thumps, it lacks a standard 3.5mm AUX analog input, and it relies on a permanently attached USB power cable that cannot be replaced if damaged.
