Edifier desktop speakers A60

The Edifier Airpulse A60 is aimed at desktop listeners who want more detail and input flexibility than a basic Bluetooth speaker setup. Its planar tweeter, DSP crossover, and separate mid-bass driver give it a more considered audio design for music, gaming, and monitoring in a small room.

At a desk, that could mean hearing vocal texture and instrument separation while keeping the speakers close at hand. The MDF cabinet and subwoofer output also give you options if you want to build out the setup later.

If you prioritize wireless convenience, Bluetooth 5.1 with aptX HD is part of the package, if you prefer connecting multiple sources, the listed multi-input design and sub out make that approach more appealing.

Getting the most from it

These are bookshelf speakers with a desktop and small-space focus, so placement matters: leave room for the pair and point them toward your listening position for near-field use. For a work session, you might stream music from a phone over Bluetooth, at a desk, you could switch to another connected source, depending on which inputs your setup needs. The product description does not name those input types, so check that they match your equipment before buying.

The 3.5-inch aluminum mid-bass driver is designed to handle the middle of the mix and provide controlled bass, while the planar diaphragm neodymium tweeter targets quick response and fine detail. If you want more low-end presence, the sub out offers a path to add a subwoofer, though the speakers' own bass is described as controlled rather than as a replacement for a dedicated sub.

Why it’s worth it

The A60 stands out from a simpler desktop pair by combining a planar tweeter with a DSP-managed crossover and sound correction. Its closed-loop Class D amplification is rated at 10W for the treble and 30W for the mid-bass per unit. That gives buyers concrete information about the system, but it is not a guarantee of how loud or clean it will sound in every room or placement.

Bluetooth 5.1 with aptX HD suits compatible wireless sources, and the speakers are listed as Hi-Res Audio certified up to 192kHz/24bit. Worth considering if you want detailed listening with both wireless streaming and more than one input option. It’s not for you if your priority is a compact, single-speaker solution or if you need confirmed input connections before choosing, the listing does not spell them out. The exact cabinet dimensions are also not provided, which makes desk-fit planning less straightforward.

At a glance

• Type: Desktop bookshelf speakers
• Drivers: Planar diaphragm neodymium tweeter and 3.5-inch aluminum mid-bass driver
• Wireless: Bluetooth 5.1 with aptX HD
• Audio: Hi-Res Audio certified up to 192kHz/24bit
• Processing: DSP crossover and sound correction
• Connections: Multi input and subwoofer output, input types are not specified in the provided details
• Cabinet: MDF wood

The combination is more ambitious than a basic Bluetooth-only desktop speaker, but less straightforward to assess than a system with a complete port list and stated dimensions. On the spec sheet, the feature set is geared toward detail and flexible placement, not a promise of room-filling bass.

Final verdict

Choose the Edifier Airpulse A60 if you want a desktop-focused pair with a planar tweeter, DSP, aptX HD streaming, and a subwoofer output for possible expansion. It makes more sense for a listener balancing music, gaming, and desk use than for someone shopping mainly for a one-box speaker or deep bass without adding a sub. The missing input details and dimensions are the practical trade-offs: make sure the connections suit your sources and that the cabinets will fit your space before settling on it.
