Beyond the Desktop: Edifier Unveils a New Generation of Active Audio at CES 2026

At CES 2026, Edifier introduces a new wave of active speakers and monitors designed for how people actually listen today—across desks, living rooms, screens, and streaming platforms. From immersive desktop systems that scale into home entertainment to studio monitors that adapt to real rooms, this lineup reflects a single idea: audio should move as fluidly as modern life does.

New Launch • M90

M90: The Desktop Speaker That Refuses to Stay on the Desk

M90 is not a replacement for Edifier M60—it is its natural expansion. Where the M60 defined premium desktop listening, the M90 breaks the boundary between desktop audio and full home entertainment, bringing living-room capability into a form that still feels at home beside a monitor.

Designed for
Multi-screen life—work at your desk, game on console, stream from TV, switch to music instantly—without rethinking your setup.

What makes the M90 different

Most “desktop speakers” stop at the desk. Most “TV speakers” ignore near-field listening. The M90 is designed to do both properly. A two-way acoustic architecture and high headroom output deliver a full-range presentation that stays grounded across listening distances.

  • Two-way design: 4-inch long-throw mid-low driver + 1-inch silk-dome tweeter.
  • Power on tap: 100W RMS output with up to 100dB SPL.
  • Precision processing: bi-amped 24-bit/96kHz DSP for clean, controlled sound.

One speaker, every connection

With HDMI eARC, USB-C, Optical, Line-in, and Bluetooth 6.0 with LDAC, the M90 becomes a flexible audio hub for modern setups. An omni-directional remote and intuitive controls make switching sources effortless.

New Launch • Near-Middle Field

Advancing Monitoring: XR6 and Auto-Calibration

Edifier expands its monitor lineup with the Near-Middle Field Series, led by XR6. This three-way active monitor includes in-box auto-calibration software that analyses room acoustics and automatically optimises setup—helping ensure accurate performance in any workspace.

Feature • HDMI eARC

HDMI eARC: Elevating Audio Connectivity

While HDMI has long been standard for AV receivers and soundbars, standalone active speakers have rarely offered it. With high-resolution and immersive content becoming the norm, Edifier’s latest lineup integrates HDMI eARC—bringing seamless, high-bandwidth audio to desktop and home setups.

Premium models like M90, R2750MKII, and S355DB now pair more naturally with next-generation displays and media players, delivering a future-ready path to cinema-quality performance in flexible active-speaker systems.

Award-Winning • MR Series

MR Series: Studio Accuracy, Scaled for Real Life

Edifier’s MR Series continues to evolve for creators working in compact, flexible environments. The MR3 brings studio-grade monitoring to space-saving desktops, while the three-way MR5 uses a dedicated woofer and side-mounted acoustic lens to deliver depth and impact in a small enclosure.

  • End-to-end DSP: consistent, accurate tuning across the signal chain.
  • Bi-amp or tri-amp power: driver-specific amplification for improved control.
  • Room & placement compensation: dial in performance for real-world spaces.
  • Wide off-axis response: accurate monitoring beyond the sweet spot.

Both MR3 and MR5 were recognized at the Japan VGP 2025 Summer Award, each earning category-specific honors that reflect their distinct strengths. MR5, in particular, secured the Gold Award, underscoring its refined design execution and uncompromising acoustic performance.

Design-Forward RGB • QR Series

QR Series: RGB, Reimagined for Grown-Up Setups

With gaming setups increasingly doubling as hubs for video broadcasting, live streaming, and remote work, Edifier’s QR65 and QR30 take a refined approach to RGB—adding ambiance without visual distraction.

The QR Series uses an Infinity Mirror design to create subtle ambient lighting that adds depth while preserving a clean, minimalist desk aesthetic—paired with Hi-Fi-grade acoustic design for modern high-resolution content.

  • QR65 acoustic design: long-throw mid-low driver + silk-dome tweeter in a two-way system.
  • 70W RMS with bi-amped DSP: clean output with driver control.
  • Maze-type bass-reflex port: deep, controlled bass with precision airflow.
  • Built-in GaN fast charger: efficient power delivery and cleaner cable management.

A new chapter for active audio

CES 2026 marks more than a refresh—it’s a shift in how active speakers are designed, connected, and used. From the M90’s boundary-breaking versatility to refined aesthetics and smarter monitoring across the lineup, Edifier continues building audio that adapts to life, not the other way around.
