Edifier Targets Every Screen with Its 2026 Audio Lineup

Built around HDMI eARC connectivity, multi-source switching and high-resolution DSP processing, the M90 is intended to sit at the centre of modern setups that now span computers, TVs, game consoles and streaming devices.

The M90 builds on the success of Edifier’s M60 but pushes the concept further. Using a two-way design with a 4-inch long-throw mid-bass driver and a 1-inch silk-dome tweeter, it delivers a claimed 100 watts RMS and peak levels of up to 100dB SPL, supported by bi-amped 24-bit/96kHz DSP. On paper, that lifts the M90 beyond the usual expectations of desktop speakers and into the domain of compact hi-fi and TV audio systems.

Connectivity is central to the M90’s positioning. Alongside analogue line-in and optical, it adds USB-C, Bluetooth with LDAC support and, most notably, HDMI eARC. That opens the door to direct connection with modern TVs, consoles and media streamers, positioning the M90 as a potential soundbar alternative while still functioning as a near-field desktop speaker when needed. An omnidirectional remote and onboard controls are designed to keep source switching simple, reinforcing Edifier’s broader goal of making the speaker a flexible audio hub rather than a single-purpose device.

With CES 2026 now in the rear-view mirror, the M90 also helps clarify Edifier’s wider intent. As more people move between home working, gaming, streaming and casual TV use, the company appears to be designing speakers that can transition cleanly across multiple spaces and devices. In that context, the M90 looks less like a one-off launch and more like the centrepiece of an “every screen” approach to audio.

That same thinking extends into Edifier’s updated monitor lineup. The MR Series near-field monitors are aimed at modern home studios and compact workspaces, with the space-saving MR3 pitched for desktop use and the three-way MR5 adding deeper bass and higher output from a compact enclosure. Both models feature DSP-based tuning and room or placement compensation, while Edifier also highlights wide off-axis response as a way to maintain accuracy beyond the traditional sweet spot. The MR3 and MR5 have also received Japan’s VGP 2025 Design Award, offering the range a measure of independent validation.

For larger or more acoustically challenging rooms, Edifier is pushing further with a new Near-Middle Field series led by the XR6. This three-way active monitor includes in-box auto-calibration software that analyses room acoustics and automatically adjusts the system, a practical acknowledgement that many users are working in far from ideal listening environments.

Desktop users remain a clear focus, but Edifier is also taking a more restrained approach to the visual language of modern gaming setups. Its QR Series, including the QR65 and QR30, uses an “Infinity Mirror” RGB lighting system designed to add ambient depth without dominating a workspace. The QR65 pairs that aesthetic with hi-fi-leaning hardware, including a bi-amped two-way design, a tuned bass-reflex port and a built-in GaN fast charger aimed at reducing desktop cable clutter.

One of the more telling threads running through the lineup is HDMI. While eARC has long been standard on AV receivers and soundbars, it has been largely absent from active speakers. By incorporating HDMI into products such as the M90, R2750MKII and S355DB, Edifier is betting that future-ready connectivity will become a baseline expectation as high-resolution and immersive content continues to move beyond traditional living-room systems.

The Edifier M90 will retail for US$369.99.
