The speaker features what Edifier is calling a “cyber style” aesthetics including angular lines and RGB lighting that pulsates in sync with the music. Its defining characteristic, however, is the built-in magnet on the bottom. 

This allows users to attach the G100 to any magnetic surface, such as bicycle handlebars, lampposts, or even refrigerators, for convenient hands-free audio playback.

In terms of sound quality, the G100 utilizes a 40mm driver and delivers 3W of output power. Likewise, the frequency response ranges from 200Hz to 15kHz. While not a sound system replacement, it offers sufficient volume and clarity for personal listening or small gatherings. 

For connectivity, the Edifier HECATE G100 utilizes Bluetooth 5.3 with  Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) as its supporting protocol. 

The A2DP enables audio streaming from an audio source, whereas the AVRCP facilitates over-the-air control of the audio stream. This should ensure a stable connection with minimal lag, enhancing the listening experience.

Battery life is rated at up to 6 hours on a single charge, thanks to the 500mAh battery. Additionally, the G100 can be used while plugged in, offering uninterrupted playback for extended periods.

Pricing and Availability

The Edifier HECATE G100 is available now for 99 yuan (approximately $15 USD). For users seeking a portable and affordable Bluetooth speaker with a unique magnetic feature, the G100 may be worth considering.
