Now, a port may not sound that exciting (unless you’re a sailor, perhaps), but eARC unlocks something extra. This is, if you’re unaware, the kind of connection your TV will use to output to the best soundbar or Dolby Atmos speaker. It stands for Enhanced Audio Return Channel, and it lets your speaker play uncompressed audio.
As a result, you can plug the Edifier M90 into your TV and get fantastic audio from your movies, shows and games. The brand’s product listing page shows it being used alongside a TV, consoles, PCs and even a turntable, although these won’t all be from eARC connectivity. It also supports Optical, AUX, USB-C and Bluetooth connections, with support for Hi-Res Audio and Hi-Res Audio Wireless and the LDAC and SBC codecs.
Edifier M90: key specs
That masterful segue brings us onto the general specs. Each of the M90’s two speakers features a 4-inch long-throw mid-bass driver and a 1-inch silk dome tweeter, for a frequency response of 50Hz-40kHz, and in all they have a total power output of 100W. That should go pretty loud.
They weigh 6kg between them, and come with a remote control which you can use as well as, or instead of, the Edifier app or on-device buttons. They also allow for multi-point connection and attaching a secondary subwoofer.
The one thing Edifier hasn’t announced about the M90 is availability: a price and release date (okay, those are two things). Based on the price of the M60, they could sell for around $200, but the advanced feature set (and higher title number) mean we can’t rule out a higher cost.
Having not tested these, my main concern is whether use cases match the feature set: my TV isn’t next to my PC, and to use these speakers alongside both, I’d need to shift them across my flat all the time. So perhaps these aren’t ‘jack-of-all-trade’ speakers as much as ‘polyfiller, fills any gap you have’ ones.
