Edifier is a Chinese audio company founded in Beijing in May 1996 by Wen Dong Zhang. It builds desktop and bookshelf speakers, headphones, earbuds, gaming audio and studio monitors, sells through online and high-street retail in more than 70 countries and in 2010 became the first audio speaker company in China to list its shares publicly.
Range & what it's known for
The core of the range is powered stereo speakers for desks and shelves, from the R1280 and R1700 families to the S-series, which includes the long-running S880DB. Studio monitors for home recording appear under the MR name, giving the catalogue a foot in content creation as well as casual listening. Personal audio runs from wireless headphones such as the WH950NB to true wireless earbuds like the NeoBuds Pro, and a separate gaming line was launched under the Hecate label in 2013. Most models put amplification inside the speaker cabinets, so a computer, TV or phone connects directly.
Who owns it and where it's made
Edifier trades on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange under code 002351, with its headquarters in Beijing. The group bought the Japanese electrostatic headphone maker STAX in 2011 and owns Airpulse, a higher-end hi-fi speaker label developed with engineer Phil Jones, along with Huazai, Xemal and Volona. Manufacturing is spread across a Shenzhen centre opened in 2001, a Beijing production base from 2004 and a site at the Songshan Lake Industrial Park in Dongguan, where construction began in 2006.
The lineup in this catalog
Powered speakers and headphones make up the entries here, positioned at entry and mid-level consumer prices.
Who it's for
Edifier suits someone setting up a first desktop or bedroom system who wants a single box pair with built-in amplifiers and Bluetooth, starting with an R1280 or R1700 and moving to the S-series as needs grow. Musicians recording at home may look at the MR monitors, while listeners wanting to step further up within the same group can turn to Airpulse speakers or STAX electrostatic headphones.
