Bluetooth 5.4 but no LC3 support is a tad disappointing, even with LDAC support.
No 3.5 mm jack could be an issue when flying and wanting to connect to the entertainment system on older planes.
Found a review of sorts.

Take note that the low latency advantage from the newer BT 5.4 standard would only work IF the host device also supports BT 5.4 as well, otherwise you will have to use the "Game Mode" function that this Edifier model has to get lower latency (but sacrifices some battery life which I believe is due to higher chipset speed, not sure of the exact detail) with other lower BT-enabled devices.
