Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great looks and good sound. Not battery powered! This was purchased to replace a Sonos play1. The app is very limited, easy to setup but no inbuilt streaming services. The size and sound are very comparable! This speaker relies on another Alexa device or app or airplay, it is airplay2 and plays well with other speakers! The only complaint is the power light is not adjustable and stays on constantly unless you power it off. Great bang for the buck for a smart speaker.

Beautiful design, compact and crystal clear sound. For the price, I was incredibly impressed with the sound. The only feedback that I can give is that I am still not able to get the app to control the speaker but was able to connect with bluetooth. Might be user error. I am giving 1 star for battery life as it does require power, it is not rechargeable as stated on the description on the web.

I’ve been a fan of Edifier speakers for a while now, so when I was in the market for a portable speaker that I could also use as a bookshelf speaker, I looked at this brand first. I ended up selecting the MS50A. It doesn’t look out of place in a permanent location but it’s also small enough (weighing about 5 lbs.) that I can easily take it with me when I need to. Wirelessly connecting my phone or PC is simple and fast. As quickly as I could I put the speaker through its paces, playing a wide assortment of songs from: The Rolling Stones, Vivaldi, Tony Bennett, Soundgarden, Prince, Wagner, Cradle of Filth, Johnny Cash, and Lizzo. I was really impressed. It handled everything extremely well. The room-filling sound had rumbly bass, crisp and precise highs, and excellent clarity. No distortion of any kind was detected even at the highest volume. The companion app works well for controlling volume and the like, and switching between devices is quick. This is another high-quality product from Edifier and the speaker is worth every penny. I’ll be buying another one soon!

Its extremely rich base is enough for me to give the Edifier - MS50A Bookshelf Speaker’s 5 stars! Makes one remember what good sound used to be before all the echo speakers took over everyone’s houses. There is also a very bare bones mobile app you can download for it that does come in handy when ito control the volume when I connect [it] to my portable record player via Bluetooth since the player itself does not have an app to control its volume. Any other time I want to connect to the MS50A, I use its wifi connection from my phone and control it via multiple apps including the Alexa app. As much as I wish it was truly portable to quickly move it around the house , I feel the incredible sound it gives would be lacking to accommodate a rechargeable battery vs a plug. Looks like I will be buying more to place around the house instead…

I love this speaker and it was quick to connect to Bluetooth. It is a little bigger than expected but the sound is great on it. I have a fairly decent size living room/kitchen and you can hear the music clearly from the other side of the room. I would definitely recommend this speaker to anyone

Right out of the box I was impressed with this! The speaker itself is much larger than I anticipated and it’s beautiful. The quality is obvious here. Set up was a breeze and there were no issues integrating it with Amazon Alexa. For the price the sound quality is impressive no not quite on par with Apple or Sonos. For the money this is a great buy!

I bought this to connect to my echo device so I could play music through it instead of the echo. I haven’t been impressed with the sound quality of echo devices so I decided to try this as an upgrade and the difference is night and day. The sound quality of the Edifier speaker blows the echo devices out of the water. Now I can control my music with my Alexa but play through the Edifier! 10 of 10 would recommend.

I was in the market of looking for a new wireless speaker so I can play music from my phone and this speaker works wonder. It’s small where you can put it anywhere and the design looks great anywhere. Sound quality is great as well. No static or delay between my phone and the speaker.

Really great little speaker for the price. Super impressed with the bass response. On this review it asked for the rating of the battery… There is no battery, as far as I can tell. That said, plugged in, it kicks BASS and butt. Great buy. Will buy more.
