The Edifier brand is one of the leaders in the Chinese acoustics market. Founded in 1996, the company has been in serious competition for the last few years with other, more experienced manufacturers.
Edifier owns its own production and design studio. The entire product line uses cases and speakers of its own production, which allowed us to reduce manufacturing defects to 0.4%, which is a brilliant indicator.
However, the company's main achievement is the sound quality of the speakers, which has been achieved thanks to modern laser equipment and the world's third largest sound anechoic chamber.
Appearance
Let's start our review of Edifier M2280 with the exterior. The design of computer acoustics in 2.0 format is quite remarkable, although it does not differ much from the general trends. The manufacturer himself calls this model "thin and sleek". Quite in the spirit of Apple, take a look ...
The color scheme will allow the speakers to be used in any interior. The front panel is plastic, covered with soft material. The body is also plastic. On the front side, in the area of the stand, the company logo flaunts. In the right column, under the casing, there is a red power indicator diode.
The volume control and the power button are rubberized and are hidden on the side edge of the right speaker.

Sound
Don't be fooled by the compact size of the speakers, the Edifier M2280 sounds much better and louder than you might expect at first glance. Two 12W DRC speakers provide detailed and clear sound.
The acoustics does not reproduce low frequencies, but it plays out middle and high frequencies ideally for products of the budget segment.
We tested the Edifier M2280 for compliance with the declared characteristics of the voice coil power and frequency range using an audio frequency generator, and were convinced of the decency of the manufacturer.
