Edifier M60 Review: Premium Desktop Computer Speakers with Hi‑Res Sound

Edifier M60 Review: Premium Desktop Computer Speakers with Hi‑Res Sound

Let’s get one thing out of the way: calling the Edifier M60 a pair of “computer speakers” is not the best way to describe them. I’ve tested a lot of desktop audio setups over the years — from budget Bluetooth bricks to full bookshelf systems — and these sit in a class of their own. Compact in size, yes. But the moment you plug them in and hit play, you know Edifier is aiming much higher.

I’ve been using the Edifier M60 speakers in Classic Oak for a few weeks now, and I can confidently say this: they’re not just for your desk. They’re media speakers. They’re TV speakers. They’re hi-res audio speakers that happen to be small enough to sit on your bookshelf. And yes, they look absolutely stunning while doing it.

The Unboxing Experience: Clean, Clever, Complete

First impressions count — and Edifier understands that. The M60 arrived in packaging that felt more like opening a premium Apple product than a pair of $170-ish speakers. Everything was neatly organised: the two speakers, a sturdy metallic stand for each (angled to push sound slightly upward), and all the cables you could need — AUX, USB-C, speaker link. No need to buy extras. No faffing around.

That finish, though. The Classic Oak model is gorgeous. It gives the speakers a warmth and texture that just works on a desk, a shelf, or next to a turntable. The edges are clean, the branding is subtle, and they feel solid in the hand — like something you’ll keep for years.

Let’s Talk Sound: Rich, Warm and Way Bigger Than You Expect

The big surprise with the M60 is how big they sound. Each speaker is loaded with a 1" silk dome tweeter and a 3" aluminum mid-bass driver — not a spec you usually find in something this size. The result? Sound that’s surprisingly wide, layered, and detailed.

Whether I’m streaming music from my MacBook Air via USB-C, playing vinyl through my Audio-Technica turntable, or watching films on Apple TV via Bluetooth, the audio is just brilliant. It’s that signature Edifier sound: warm, musical, powerful without being shouty, and detailed enough to pick out instruments and textures.

One thing I love — and I don’t say this lightly — is how low the latency is when using Bluetooth. I expected a bit of delay while watching Netflix on my Philips Ambilight TV, but honestly? Nothing. Lip sync is spot on, and the immersion is real.

Multiple Inputs, Simple Setup

Here’s what makes these speakers genuinely versatile:

• USB-C from my MacBook Air: flawless, plug-and-play.

• Bluetooth 5.3 from my Apple TV and iPhone: instant connection, no delay.

• 3.5mm AUX to my Audio Technica turntable’s preamp: rich analogue sound.

You can also control the sound profile via the Edifier ConneX app, which gives you access to EQ presets and updates. If you prefer a more hands-on approach, the top panel of the speaker has a backlit touch control interface — intuitive and minimal. The only thing I slightly missed? A remote. It’s not a dealbreaker, but worth noting.

Pros and Cons

✔️ What I Loved

• Incredible sound for the size – warm, punchy, and hi-res certified

• Stylish, classic oak finish that fits into any interior

• Packed with accessories – including metal stands and all cables

• USB-C, AUX, and Bluetooth – super versatile

• Zero latency on Bluetooth – even for movies

• Compact and solid build – no cheap plastic here

❌ A Few Downsides

• The speaker link cable is a bit short – limits spacing on wider desks

• No remote – EQ and volume must be done via app or touch panel

Final Thoughts: Worth It?

For anyone looking to upgrade their desktop audio setup, these are a no-brainer. But more than that, the Edifier M60 proves that small speakers can still deliver a full, cinematic sound. Whether you’re deep in a Spotify playlist, watching an action movie, or spinning a Sunday record, they deliver clarity, richness, and warmth that’s usually reserved for much larger (and more expensive) systems.

I genuinely love using them. And I don’t say that lightly — I use these every day, and they’ve become my go-to for everything from workday background music to weekend movie nights. Once again, Edifier has nailed it.
