Verdict

The Edifier MP85 is an ultra-compact portable Bluetooth 5.3 speaker measuring 52mm × 63mm × 28.5mm and weighing just 70 grams. It features a 1.5-inch (40mm) full-range driver delivering a total RMS output power of 2.2W and a frequency response of 230Hz to 17kHz. Its main pros include an impressive 8-hour continuous playtime powered by a 480mAh built-in battery, excellent vocal clarity, physical top-mounted control buttons, and customization support via the Edifier Connect App which offers four distinct EQ sound effects (Music, Game, Vocal, and DIY). However, its primary cons are a lack of deep bass performance due to its miniature enclosure and a lack of support for high-res audio codecs.
