- Edifier’s new desktop speaker option is called the M90
- The pair of compact stereo speakers is presented at CES 2026, Las Vegas
- In a first for Edifier speakers, eARC is on the menu for uncompressed audio
Now, a port might not seem that exciting (unless you’re a sailor, maybe), but eARC unlocks something more. This is, if you don’t know, the type of connection your TV will use to output to the best Dolby Atmos soundbar or speaker. It stands for Enhanced Audio Return Channel and allows your speaker to play uncompressed audio.
As a result, you can plug the Edifier M90 into your TV and get fantastic sound from your movies, shows, and games. The brand’s product listing page shows it being used with a TV, consoles, PCs and even a turntable, although not all of them come with eARC connectivity. It also supports optical, AUX, USB-C and Bluetooth connections, with support for Hi-Res Audio and Hi-Res Audio Wireless as well as LDAC and SBC codecs.
Edifier M90: key specifications
This masterful sequence brings us to the general specifications. Each of the M90’s two speakers features a 4-inch long-throw midrange driver and a 1-inch silk dome tweeter, for a frequency response of 50 Hz to 40 kHz, and in total they have a total output power of 100 W. That should be quite loud.
They weigh 6kg in total and come with a remote control that you can use in addition to or instead of the Edifier app or buttons on the device. They also allow multipoint connection and attachment of a secondary subwoofer.
The only thing Edifier hasn’t announced about the M90 is availability: a price and a release date (okay, those are two things). Based on the M60’s price, they could sell for around $200, but the advanced feature set (and higher title number) means we can’t rule out a higher cost.
Not having tested them, my main concern is whether the use cases match the feature set: my TV isn’t next to my PC, and to use these speakers next to both, I’d have to move them around my apartment all the time. So maybe these aren’t “jack of all trades” speakers as much as they are “polyfiller, fill-in-all-your-gaps” speakers.
