Good8/10Budget

Edifier is the value pick most reviewers suggest for desktop and bookshelf speakers, with models such as the R1280DBs and MR4 sounding far better than typical PC speakers for little money. Build and features are good for the price; after-sales service varies by country.

Good at

  • R1280 and R1700BT bookshelf speakers are value classics
  • MR4 and MR5 give near studio-monitor sound cheaply
  • Stylish QD35 and M60 desktop speakers
  • Plenty of inputs incl. Bluetooth, optical and USB

Weak at

  • Remotes and built-in controls feel basic
  • After-sales support depends on the local distributor
