CONCLUSION

    For a budget oriented pair of speakers, the M60 by Edifier will certainly please you both thanks to their very crisp and accurate mids and highs and overall build quality. However, even though the M60 does very well in mids and highs the same can’t be said about lows/bass and well, this is its Achilles heel (and unlike the QR65 the M60 don’t have an external sub connector). Again, source always plays a huge role but no matter what you pair the M60 with (I did with the FiiO R7 and R9 for this review) bass levels will be limited (using equalizer in both your source and the speakers themselves can improve things but to a small extend). Needless to say, this becomes noticeable almost entirely with bass rich content regardless of type (heavy metal, rock, movie and game explosions etc.) and so it’s only a drawback if you plan on using the M60 with those. Just like with the QR65 having to access the app to switch to LDAC mode is something that complicates things (especially for older people) but at the same time I can understand why Edifier would choose that route (still I do think it should be enabled by default for wall powered speakers).

    The M60 Hi-Res Compact Desktop 2.0 Speakers by Edifier currently retail for USD179.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 155.26Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) so they are quite affordable. Overall leaving out the lack of rich bass the M60 pretty much excel in everything else from audio accuracy, fidelity and detail to connectivity, build quality and looks and that’s also why they get the Golden Award.
