Microlab has been producing audio products since 1998 and has earned a solid reputation for quality and dependability in the process. Recently, Benchmark Reviews had the opportunity to take a closer look at one of the recent additions to its lineup, the Microlab MD212 Portable Speaker, which targets those individuals that are in need of a portable and lightweight Bluetooth solution. The Microlab MD212 is definitely portable and lightweight, yet it has a number of other attractive features that make it a serious contender among the other diminutive Bluetooth devices on the market.

It is not difficult to understand why the ultra-portable Bluetooth device is gaining more and more traction; it simply delivers better audio performance than the on-board speakers in our smartphones and our tablets. In addition to the quality audio experience generated by the MD212, it also has very good Bluetooth range, it is equipped with a built-in 3.5 mm auxiliary jack, it has a speakerphone option, and it has a pull-out tray for your smartphone or tablet. I encourage you to read on in order to find out everything that the Microlab MD212 has to offer.

Features & Specifications

The Microlab MD212 is a very clean device. In other words, it doesn’t have buttons sticking out all over the place and it is devoid of the lights found on some other devices; you know, the ones that look as if they belong in a 70’s disco. You’re not going to find multimedia controls on it, which was just fine with me since I control my tracks through my smartphone. Again it is clean and simple. However, it has the features you need from a portable Bluetooth speaker.
