Detailed Test Results

Sound quality: Ecoxgear's EcoEdge+ had Fair overall sound quality. What little bass there is has little impact is subdued and deep bass is lacking. The midrange is thin, coarse, somewhat hazy, metallic, and the upper midrange can be harsh with some program material. The treble is smeared, spitty, somewhat sizzly, and upper treble is lacking. It overall doesn't do a good job of recovering room ambience and is congested. The speaker is monophonic. However, when two units are used as a stereo pair the sound stage can be made wider depending on placement and the stereo image becomes more apparent. Wired sound quality is similar to Bluetooth, but a bit less thin and a bit more hazy. It provides a decent volume level in a small sized room and gets harsher at higher volumes.

Ease of use: We found the Ecoxgear EcoEdge+ ease of use to be Very Good overall. Bluetooth pairing is excellent as the unit is always in pairing mode when not already paired, shows a pairing mode indicator. Indicates when pairing mode has occurred and never times out. The volume controls have good contrast and are well labeled, has audible beep to indicate when you reach the max setting. However, the controls require a very firm and direct press to actuate. Volume control does not work with line in. Source selection involves plug and unplug - The line input has priority over Bluetooth when plugged in with no delay. Unplug to directly go back to BT. Bluetooth content keeps playing when line-in is used unless directly paused.
