Verdict

The Edifier MG250 is a compact 2.0 multimedia desktop soundbar featuring dual 52mm full-range drivers that deliver a total output power of 5W RMS (2.5W + 2.5W) across a frequency response of 80Hz to 19kHz. Its key characteristics include a built-in USB sound card for plug-and-play connectivity, Bluetooth V5.3 for wireless streaming, and a customizable RGB light strip with 16.8 million colours manageable via the Edifier Connect app. Main pros consist of an integrated MEMS microphone with AI noise cancellation for clear calls, a sleek angled design for improved near-field acoustics, and intuitive top-mounted touch controls. However, notable cons include its lack of a built-in battery requiring a constant USB power source, a non-detachable cable design, and the absence of dedicated subwoofers or passive radiators, which can lead to limited bass performance.

  • Low power output (5W total) means it is not suitable for large rooms or loud party environments.
  • The touch-sensitive buttons can be difficult to see in low light due to poor contrast.
