with so many portable Bluetooth speakers going around the market, it is hard for an individual product to stand out. but the Edifier MP260 Extreme Connect Portable Speaker might have something that no other has: it has a microSD card slot that accepts up to 32GB as an alternative source, in addition to the obligatory Bluetooth connectivity with support for A2DP, as well as AVRCA profiles for wireless audio streaming and for doubling up as a handy speakerphone. a boon if you ask me, now that you can prep your favorite tunes prior to your ‘party’, load them up in the MP260 and spin them – all without the burden of Bluetooth sipping the juice out of its 12 hours playtime, and not to mention, sparing your smartphone from the inevitable battery drain if you were to use that as the media source. a USB audio port and a 3.5mm auxiliary input are also included for good measures as far as media source versatility is concerned.
on the audio business end, it has a pair of 48mm active neodymium drivers, along with a 50mm by 90mm passive radiator that covers both the highs and lows. wrapping up the package is a cool, rugged construction with IP54 rating for resistant against dust and water so that you bring this little guy to just about anywhere. the Edifier MP260 Extreme Connect Portable Speaker comes in five attractive hues and goes for $99.99 a pop. available now from Edifier web shop.
