Edifier QD35 Bluetooth Speaker Review

The QD35 Hi-Res Bluetooth speaker from Edifier features Lumia Art lighting, otherwise known as RGB in the PC world. With an unusual, eye-catching design, and support for Hi-Res audio playback over either Bluetooth or wired connections, can this speaker deliver great sound – or is it all looks?

KitGuru says:  The QD35 wireless speaker from Edifier produces some great quality, albeit slightly bass heavy, sound. The design will not be to everyone's tastes and they certainly are unusual when compared to the other Edifier products we've reviewed recently, but some will appreciate the futuristic and industrial looks. The build quality on offer from Edifier is great but the addition of water resistance would open up a lot more use cases for this speaker.
