It handles treble frequencies most competently, delivering more delicate sounds with accuracy and precision.
Mid-range sounds are also well-weighted with imperfect, yet respectable levels of detail on offer.
Even bass comes through with a degree of impact and depth, making for a good all-round listening experience.
But the vast majority of listeners are sure to like what they hear.
Sound is customizable too, thanks to the Edifier ConneX app.
This free companion app allows you to adjust the EQ via a number of presets or a custom option.
Another decent, but non-standout factor is the Edifier D32s battery life of 11 hours.
Potentially the biggest draw of the Edifier D32 is its design.
Its looking pretty positive for the Edifier D32 here.
For what it sets out to do, it succeeds on almost every metric.
The D32 also launched in March 2024, so it still has that fresh feeling about it.
When harnessing Bluetooth connectivity (except when streaming using LDAC), you get access to multipoint connectivity.
The onlyrealfeature available is what Edifier calls Sound Effects, which is just an EQ calibration tool.
you could select from one of five options: Classic; Monitor; Dynamic; Vocal; or Customized.
The app doesnt have much more going for it really.
Thats basically it and Im not really complaining.
After all, theres not a whole lot more Id expect from a wireless speaker at this price point.
When it comes to battery life, the Edifier D32 is pretty average.
Edifier claims that this speaker has a playtime of 11 hours, which I found to be relatively accurate.
But, all in all, the Edifier D32s feature-set is decent.
Its not an entirely perfect picture when it comes to low-frequencies, though.
If youre looking to hear imposing bass, you might want to look elsewhere.
However, its not about bass with the Edifier D32.
And the positive news is the D32 sounds very good overall, with both rich mids and elegant highs.
The Edifier D32 isntalwaysthe best with more subtle details.
Youre still getting super-clean, on-beat, hi-res audio certain to impress.
The plasticky, gold finish looks a bit cheap; tacky even.
Although I wasnt a massive fan of the look of the buttons, theyre fairly easy to use.
Otherwise, this is a pretty practical rig.
Really, though, this isnt the best option if portability is crucial for you.
Theyre encased in an MDF cabinet, designed to reduce resonance and distortion.
It may be the case that you, reader, think Im terribly mistaken about the gold looking tacky!
Should I buy the Edifier D32?
With its amp-like grille, textured outer casing and tabletop design, the Edifier D32 is a solid-looking speaker.
This beast of a speaker boasts bold audio, Wi-Fi connectivity and fantastic portability.
Marshall Emberton 2OK, a bit of a curveball coming your way.
Is this thing a like-for-like comparison with the Edifier D32?
Well, not exactly.
Its way smaller and lighter, it’s Bluetooth only, and wont offer quite as imposing audio.
But it does rock a similar retro design and is perfect for tabletop play.

I predominantly used the speaker in our music testing room for assessing audio quality and battery testing.
I also used the JBL Xtreme 4 as a point of comparison, when appropriate.
