Edifier has been on a roll recently, with its products having earned stellar ratings from the reviews team at Tom’s Guide. I’d just finished reviewing the Edifier QR65 computer speakers when I picked up the Edifier ES60, and I was expecting to be blown away. Alas, I was not. Don’t get me wrong: the ES60 is excellent, but it takes a lot to earn a spot among the best Bluetooth speakers — especially when it’s priced more or less the same as a Marshall and JBLs.
The ES60 excels at delivering punchy bass with plenty of warmth and low-end impact, and there are many features at play, such as USB-C passthrough and customizable LED lighting. It sports a premium, retro-style design, and the build quality is top-notch. But if you want nuanced vocals or better battery life, look elsewhere.
