Edifier Unveils the S880DB MKII Hi-Fi Bookshelf Speakers
Edifier, a global leader in premium audio technology, proudly announces the launch of the S880DB MKII—a fully upgraded successor to the acclaimed S880DB, featuring enhanced acoustic performance, redesigned circuitry and a modernized user experience.
The S880DB MKII features a completely upgraded driver system for a richer, more precise listening experience. The tweeter has been enhanced with a 1.25-inch titanium dome—up from 1 inch—and now includes a larger 25 mm voice coil and neodymium magnets. These improvements deliver crystal-clear, transparent highs with greater accuracy and detail. Complementing this is a redesigned 3.75-inch mid-bass driver, which improves mid-range clarity and extends low-frequency response down to 50 Hz. The result is a more solid, balanced soundstage that brings every nuance to life.
High-Quality Sound Performance
At the heart of the S880DB MKII are high-performance chipsets from Texas Instruments and the powerful XMOS XU216 processor, enabling advanced digital audio processing with precision and efficiency. This upgraded architecture supports high-resolution audio playback at 24-bit/96 kHz, ensuring crystal-clear sound with ultra-low distortion. Together, these core components provide exceptional signal processing and audio fidelity, delivering a premium listening experience worthy of true Hi-fi standards.
Hi-Res Audio Certified
The S880DB MKII meets and exceeds Hi-Res Audio certification standards, delivering uncompromising sound quality. Its digital interfaces support resolutions up to 24-bit/192 kHz, while the Texas Instruments analog front end operates at 24-bit/96 kHz, ensuring ultra-precise signal handling and exceptional clarity across the entire frequency range.
Hi-Res Audio Wireless Certified
Equipped with a Bluetooth 5.3 receiver, the S880DB MKII supports the LDAC codec with transmission rates of up to 990kbps—enabling high-resolution wireless audio streaming at up to 24-bit/96 kHz. This ensures audiophile-grade sound quality over Bluetooth from compatible Android devices (Android 8.0 and above), combining convenience with uncompromising performance.
Enhanced Bass Capability
The S880DB MKII features a dedicated SUB OUT port, allowing you to connect an external subwoofer for even deeper, more powerful bass response. This added flexibility lets you expand your sound system and enjoy a fuller, more immersive low-end performance—perfect for music, movies and gaming.
User-Friendly Controls & Smart Connectivity
Controlling your audio experience is simple and intuitive with the S880DB MKII. Use the newly designed rechargeable 2.4 GHz remote control or the onboard speaker knobs for quick access to playback and volume. The integrated OLED display with auto-dimming ensures clear, real-time feedback without distracting glare. For deeper customization and convenience, the speaker is fully compatible with the EDIFIER ConneX app, allowing you to fine-tune settings and manage inputs directly from your smartphone.

18 Comments on Edifier Unveils the S880DB MKII Hi-Fi Bookshelf Speakers
I still enjoy my R1280DB as my main speakers for my TV. Great with movies.
The all white do not fit my decor. Well see if they come up with a nice walnut or red maple
For the last few months I have been checking these speakers out from time to time, the price seems to range from $150 to$200. Unless it is because of the import tariffs, Edifier speakers tend to be very reasonably priced.The S880DB MKII has been on sale for almost a year now, and the good news is that all the reviews I read so far seems to suggest these are better than the previous generation. Although speaker reviews tends to be very subjective, one positive that isn't subjective is that the price is lower for this newer version.
I have tried aio speakers but imo they are a compromise unless you are going to get proper hifi(ish) ones. i would throw all my kit in the bin in a second for a pair of KEF LSX II LT
Who's writing this stuff?
I really dislike teh cheap design where one speaker relies on the internals of the other ones from an electronics perspective.
Build quality and audio wise there are big differences to two ADAM T8V and M-Audio Air 192|6 and XLR cables. I want ordinary PSU AC connectors on my speakers. I want ordinary smartphone like USB-C connectors on my external better audio card which names itself as a audio-interface.
I think, I miss the point this product here is like HDMI something for a television and not a computer component in the first place. On the other hand soundbars have HDMI inputs, maybe television can transmit also audio over HDMI like nvidia graphic cards can in windows 10 pro to a soundbar. I would go the soundbar route if I would buy some cheap speakers for a television set. No XLR and no balanced inputs.
Eg a small cylindrical sub.
Not smothered in bass reverb from a box sub, or box speakers that claims to extend to 50hz.
