16:54How SMALL is TOO SMALL?! - Edifier X3 Review + Latency & Call Test
The reviewer finds the Edifier X3 to be a good budget option with a fun, V-shaped sound that excels with bass-heavy genres, but notes it falls short in treble harshness, comfort, and value compared to cheaper competitors. The ultra-compact case is a standout feature, but issues like easy detachment from charging pins and lack of battery indicator are drawbacks. Overall, it's a solid choice for those prioritizing portability and bass, but not the best overall in its price range.
