The Edifier E3300 speaker set looks better than it sounds and lacks the sonic punch of its rivals
![]() |
This small but stylish set of speakers has been designed to look nothing like a sound system. The speaker towers resemble futuristic pepper mills, while the subwoofer - a curved-edged, truncated tetrahedron - looks better than it sounds.
You can induce a bit of floor-shaking bass from it, but it doesn't have the oomph of its meatier rivals. However, it does a fair job for the price.
The wired remote, which attaches directly to the subwoofer, is a nice addition. A satisfyingly heavy unit, it's basically a volume control, though it also has ports to plug in a speaker or a line-in from another device, such as an iPod.
