Edifier is not a name many people would consider when they are thinking about speakers, but they are paving the way to bring quality design and sound.  Their S880 DB Bookshelf are small, compact but pack the punch and sound quality of  much bigger studio monitors.  The build quality of these speakers are incredible, They chose to use real wood  for the body of the speakers.  It gives them an elegant design, with a beautiful look.  The wood helps with the sound quality and reproduction, and also gives the speakers some weight. 

The S880 DB speakers come with an incredible number of inputs, making it flexible and versatile where you can hook it up just about anywhere.  They have two RCA audio inputs, optical input, coaxial input, USB connection and Bluetooth.  The speakers have a great feature when using the USB input option, that is Hi-Res Audio.  Located within the master speaker, where all the electronic components are house, you will find a digital process. 

The purpose of this processor is to up res the quality of the sound, to give you a better listening experience.  These options are more than you find on most audio mixers and stereo system.  The only things its missing are XLR and 1/4 input, but honestly unless you are trying to connect the speakers to a mixer or amplifier, those input won’t matter.  Also included is a wireless remote that lets you control the speaker volume, settings, input source, and even change the various different modes this speaker has. 

Heavy on the sound output & ports.

I pit them against my reliable, tried and true KRK Rokit 5 speakers. The KRKs have been an audio standard in the music industry and these Edifiers can go head-to-head with. The S880s reproduced sound incredibly well, with a very full audio coming from the speakers.  The Edifiers can get really loud, without distorting as this is where the wood design of the speakers come into play.  They were great even when I was just listening to music from my phone using Bluetooth.  Edifier has to receive praise and credit for creating a great speaker system.  A lot of thought and detail went into creating the S880 DB and that is evident from minute you lay your eyes and hands on the speaker. 

The S880 DB speaker system includes two speakers, a remote (with batteries included), and every input connection cable you will need.  These Edifier speakers are easy to  recommend for anyone looking for a good pair of compact quality speakers.  For either bookshelf, computer, gaming, stereo systems or even just to us them as Bluetooth speakers; they are great for home, studio and work. 

So if this is your first time hearing about Edifier, just know that they produce big sound and make great speakers.  If you’re interested, you can get more info and detail here.
