CONCLUSION

    The Edifier M90 behaves like a compact 2.0 system built around controlled directivity and a low‑distortion mid‑bass driver, producing a response that stays linear through the vocal band and only lifts slightly in the upper registers. Its cabinet volume and port tuning give it lower‑frequency authority than its footprint suggests while the system maintains composure at higher playback levels without obvious compression artifacts. Connectivity is unusually broad for this form factor, with HDMI eARC, USB‑C, optical, analog, sub‑out, and LDAC wireless it's functionally closer to a small media hub than a typical desktop pair. Unfortunately, the lack of RCA (left/right) ports is regrettable especially for people who happen to own expensive pairs of such cables (myself included). This will obviously not be a huge issue for most people (let’s face it, potential buyers will be mostly interested in HDMI eARC or LDAC wireless) but for audiophiles and professionals alike this is always the preferred type of connection. As with past speakers by Edifier by default LDAC operates at 44.1/48kHz and so you need to enable 96kHz from within the ConneX app to remove the bandwidth cap and let the codec run at its full profile, which is useful for users who want to avoid unnecessary resampling. The enclosure is rigid, the finish looks and feels nice, and the availability of black and white variants makes the M90 easy to integrate into different setups.

    Currently retailing for USD295.19 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 312.59Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) the M90 by Edifier are priced properly. At the end of the day the M90 delivers as advertised, yes RCA inputs would make lots of sense for a 2026 model but that aside this is a great stereo set worthy of the Golden Award.
