The S880DB MKII is an active two-way hi-fi speaker pair from Edifier, announced around October 2025 at USD 449.99 in White or Walnut. As the MKII version of the S880DB, it combines digital and analogue inputs with a titanium tweeter and an aluminium long-throw cone in each cabinet, and it accepts high-resolution sources over both USB and Bluetooth.
Key specs that matter
A 1.25-inch titanium dome tweeter with a 25 mm voice coil sits above a 3.75-inch long-throw aluminium mid and bass unit in every cabinet. Of the 88 W RMS total, 12 W goes to each tweeter and 32 W to each mid and bass unit. The range covers 50 Hz to 40 kHz, and A-weighted signal to noise is 85 dB or more. Processing runs on an XMOS XU216 DSP. Inputs are USB-C, optical, coaxial, two analogue line inputs and Bluetooth 5.3 with SBC and LDAC, and a subwoofer output is provided. The active speaker measures 145 x 237 x 207 mm and the passive one 145 x 237 x 192 mm, and the pair weighs 6.27 kg.
Engineering and use context
Titanium is stiffer than silk or fabric domes, which moves the dome's break-up higher, and the 1.25-inch size is larger than a typical 1-inch tweeter. The XMOS XU216 processor handles USB audio and the digital signal processing for the crossover and equalisation. An OLED display on the speaker shows input and volume, and a rechargeable 2.4 GHz remote control operates it without the line-of-sight limits of infrared. The EDIFIER ConneX app gives access to further settings. The long-throw design lets the 3.75-inch aluminium cone move more air for bass in a compact cabinet. The subwoofer output allows an Edifier sub to take over the bass. Six input options mean a computer, a TV, a CD player and a phone can all be connected at once and selected from the remote.
Pairing
USB-C takes a computer, optical a television and coaxial a CD transport, while two analogue line inputs take a turntable with a phono stage and another source. Android phones use LDAC for high-resolution Bluetooth. The bass can be extended with an Edifier T5 or T5s subwoofer through the sub output. The compact cabinets suit a desk or bookshelf in rooms up to about 20 m2.
Alternatives
The Edifier S1000MKII is a bigger powered bookshelf pair using a 5.5-inch aluminium mid and bass driver and a 1-inch titanium dome, rated at 120 W RMS with a 45 Hz lower limit.
