Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Edifier MP100 Plus

  • Extremely compact, lightweight, and highly portable palm-sized design
  • Excellent IPX7 waterproof and dustproof rating suitable for rugged outdoor use
  • Surprisingly loud volume output with well-defined mid-range and clear vocals
  • Solid 9-to-11.5 hour battery life on a single charge
  • Sturdy integrated carrying loop/strap for clipping onto backpacks or bikes
  • Reliable and fast connectivity using modern Bluetooth 5.3
  • Affordable price point offering great value for money

What customers don't like about Edifier MP100 Plus

  • Lacks deep or booming bass response due to the single full-range driver
  • Physical control buttons on the lower rear side are hard to see and press initially
  • Slow charging times taking up to 3 hours to go from empty to full
  • No visible battery level indicator on the device
  • Slight sound distortion or strident treble when pushed to maximum volume levels
  • Does not support the Edifier Connect app or dual-speaker stereo pairing
  • No carabiner clip included in the box despite the integrated loop design

Verdict

The Edifier MP100 Plus is an ultra-portable, sandwich-style Bluetooth 5.3 speaker equipped with a 43mm full-range driver that delivers a total output power of 5W RMS and a frequency response of 200Hz to 18KHz. Weighing just 185 grams and measuring 95mm in diameter, this compact device features an IPX7 waterproof rating, a built-in microphone with smart noise reduction for clear calls, and a 1500mAh lithium-ion battery providing up to 9 hours of playback. Its main pros include an ultra-lightweight design with a built-in lanyard for outdoor versatility, reliable water resistance, stable wireless connectivity, and distortion-free vocals at higher volumes. However, notable cons include weak bass performance below 200Hz, the lack of a dedicated mobile app for EQ customization, a relatively slow 3-hour charge time, and the absence of a visible battery life indicator.
