Laptop computers are not known for having excellent speakers. This can be a pain if you want to do things like to listen to music while you use your computer or deliver presentations to other directly from it in a working situation. Not surprisingly, there are plenty of third-party-speaker set designed to give the sound quality you want.
Edifier Soundbar is a relatively low cost and easy to use option. It is very portable and comes with its own DrawString carrying case to help you easily batteries it around.
Edifier is pretty nicely designed, becomes a triangular tubes reminiscent of a certain Swiss chocolate bar whose name we do not mention. Its brushed aluminium silver and black color scheme should look fine with most laptops.
Soundbar measures 261x36x44mm, and its shape, it usually means fits into the villain of the piece that is created between the lid and the base section when a laptop opened, so it does not need any desktop space of its own.

Edifier Soundbar is powered by the same mini-USB cable is used to take music from YOUR PC, so you need only a single cable to connect it. It also comes with a AUX cable, however, to make it possible to connect external devices such as an iPod or something with a 3.5 mm headphone jack. These two slots to sit at one end of the Edifier Soundbar.
On the other end is the volume. We really like you this works. You press it for awhile and volume falls, press it repeatedly and volume increases. We find the system fiddly and would have preferred a wheel roller or slider.
Edifier Soundbar is pure plug and play, and it takes seconds to install and start pushing the sound through.
But what is really important is the quality of the speakers. Soundbar has a bass reflector port in the Centre of the device, and stereo speakers on the left and right. The bass port effect is noticeable, but not essential. If you really like your bass can then Edifier Soundbar cannot provide for you. The volume is fairly high, but not as high as we would have liked. There is at least no distortion at higher volume levels. The effect is pretty good stereo, with good, rounded sound.
Audio output was certainly better than we normally get from our laptops, but nowhere near as good as we enjoy from our current desktop PC with its five speakers attached. But it is not surprising, really.
Overall, the Edifier Soundbar good enough to let you enjoy a movie or to make a presentation to a small group. But neither the volume or the quality is high enough to play sounds to a group for leisure purposes – at a party, for example.
Edifier Soundbar is a very portable external loudspeaker, easy to configure, and it will produce better audio quality than the internal speakers of many portable computers. We would have preferred the connection to be micro-USB rather than the mini-USB and we found the volume a little difficult. Overall, however, is not a bad little speaker.
