Edifier OnTheGo if350 Review

Rating: 8/10

Best Price: £93.05 here.

Pros	Cons
+ Decent sound quality and radio reception.	-      Not the cheapest of docks out there
+ Built in rechargeable battery	-      Prone to scratches in areas not covered by neoprene case
+Remote and carry pouch as standard

       

     Ease of use: Very simple and well laid out buttons on the top of the speakers. The remote has a fair few buttons; however it is also very intuitive and straightforward.

-         Design: The back of the speakers are a nice iPhone white, and black at the front. The LCD display is a little on the small side.

-         Sound quality: The Edifier has a very impressive sound quality for its size. Bass strong enough to give depth to the music and the volume goes to a good level, easily enough for a BBQ or small garden party. Here are a couple of recordings of the speakers.

     

     The dock supports itself with a flip down leg at the back released by a catch. When the leg folds down the iPod dock folds down at the front. At the back of the if35o is a line in jack and a slot in which the remote fits in.

     

     The neoprene pouch is a nice extra, but as it does not cover the entire system, over time the speakers may get scratched and bumped.

     

     The LCD is readable but gets hard to read in direct sunlight. When in standby mode the screen displays the time, in aux and iPod modes it displays the volume and battery level.

    

     The radio picked up all the main stations no problem, and it was easy to store them into one of 18 pre-sets.

What’s in the box:
