Edifier S880DB MKII 88W Hi‑Res Bookshelf Speakers
Product description
This active 2.0 bookshelf speaker system brings studio-grade sound to a living room, small studio or desktop. With a focus on clarity and low distortion, the Edifier S880DB MKII combines wired and wireless hi‑res playback for mixing, critical listening and immersive entertainment. If you prioritise accurate midrange for vocals, you will appreciate the tuned drivers, if you prefer deeper impact you can add a subwoofer for extra weight.
What matters most
The S880DB MKII targets listeners who want precise response and flexible connectivity. It supports Hi‑Res Audio over USB‑C, optical and coaxial inputs, and streams lossless over LDAC with Bluetooth 5.3. Controls are straightforward, and the rechargeable touch remote plus OLED display let you adjust tone and source without fuss.

Benefits
Built with dual Class‑D amplification, these speakers separate highs and lows to reduce intermodulation and maintain dynamics. The XMOS 16‑core processing handles crossover and compensation in real time, which helps preserve detail across a wide 20Hz–40kHz range according to the manufacturer. The MDF enclosures and internal damping minimise resonance for a cleaner soundstage.
Everyday use
Set them on stands or a desktop and use via USB‑C for lossless playback from a computer, or wire them to a TV via optical for movies. Streaming with LDAC delivers higher bitrate wireless audio when you need convenience. The EDIFIER ConneX app lets you save EQ profiles and apply firmware updates, making small adjustments simple and repeatable.
What it suits
It suits you if you want transparent, studio‑oriented speakers with modern connectivity and the option to expand to a 2.1 rig for stronger bass. It may not suit you if you need very large room fill on its own or expect built‑in subwoofer depth without adding an external sub.
