Edifier S880DB MKII proves budget speakers can punch above their weight
A Tom's Guide review by Erin Bashford praises the Edifier S880DB MKII desktop speakers as premium-sounding and feature-packed for their $449 price. The design blends cream and wood with substantial build quality, and the five connectivity options (RCA, 3.5mm, USB-C, optical, Bluetooth) make them versatile for turntables, TVs, and more. The addition of a dedicated subwoofer out on the MKII lets you enhance bass without sacrificing space, and the speakers still deliver strong, room-filling sound even without a sub. Bashford calls Edifier’s offering a standout that shifts the perception of “budget” brands, delivering high-end performance in a compact footprint—one of the best desktop setups she’s heard in years.
