INTRODUCTION

    Bookshelf and desktop speakers have quietly become the go‑to choice for listeners who want real sonic authority without dedicating half their room to audio gear. The latest generation embraces both worlds, dependable wired inputs for purists and wireless Hi‑Res options for effortless streaming. Optical ports, coaxial links, LDAC support, and tuned DSP profiles allow these compact cabinets to punch far above their size, delivering clean mids, controlled bass, and enough headroom to stay composed at higher volumes. Power ratings have also climbed and so modern 2.0 systems routinely push 100W+ RMS, giving near‑field setups the kind of dynamic swing that used to require a dedicated amp. Last month Edifier released the R2750DB MKII Powered Bookshelf Speakers and that's what I've been using to enjoy my favorite Hi-Res tracks for over a week now.

    Edifier specializes in premium sound systems that showcase technological innovation and design elegance, delivering outstanding audio experiences through a wide range of headphones, speakers, and music systems, for personal entertainment and professional excellence. Established in May 1996 in Beijing, Edifier is the brainchild of a small group of enterprising music lovers. Over the past 25 years, Edifier has been guided by the “passion for sound” principle, which helped the brand emerge as a world-class designer and manufacturer of award-winning sound systems. Today, Edifier serves audio lovers worldwide through its distributors in over 70 countries, with operations in North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific regions.

    The acoustic design of the brand new R2750DB MKII powered bookshelf speakers by Edifier (available in black and walnut colors) is built around a true three‑way active structure, 7‑inch (178mm) long‑throw woofers for low‑end weight, 4.5‑inch (114mm) mid‑range drivers for vocal clarity, and 1‑inch (25mm) silk‑dome tweeters for smooth treble, all powered by four dedicated Class‑D amplifiers delivering a combined 144W RMS. Edifier’s DSP engine, three‑way digital crossover, and dynamic range control maintain stability and precision even at higher volumes. On the connectivity side, the speaker offers HDMI eARC with CEC, optical and coaxial digital inputs, analog line in, and Bluetooth v6.0 with LDAC (990kbps) for Hi‑Res wireless playback, plus multipoint pairing and a rear sub out for system expansion. Users can fine‑tune EQ and manage sources through the ConneX app. With Hi‑Res Audio certification and a 45Hz–40kHz frequency range, the R2750DB MKII is engineered as a modern desk and bookshelf powerhouse built for clarity, punch, and everyday flexibility.

SPECIFICATIONS AND FEATURES

PACKAGING AND CONTENTS

For the R2750DB MKII Edifier is using a plain cardboard box that has a sticker with a product picture, product drawing, company logo and the main product features at the front.

The features are printed on the left side in 10 languages.

Another product drawing is available on the right side right next to a drawing of the bundle contents.

Moving at the rear we find the features list in 10 languages.

The R2750DB MKII are placed between two thick pieces of cardboard as seen above.

Aside the R2750DB MKII and their power cord inside the box you'll also find the speaker connection cable, two speaker grilles, RCA to 3.5mm adapter, RCA cable, optical cable, remote control with two AAA batteries, warranty information paper, warning paper and the quick start guide.

THE R2750DB MKII

The R2750DB MKII are somewhat large with each one measuring 395.4mm in height, 223.4mm in width, 279.8mm in depth and weighing almost 8.6Kg (16.57Kg total).

Both cabinets are made of MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard) and feature a very nice coating (almost feel like real wood).

At the front of both speakers, we find a 1‑inch (25mm) silk‑dome tweeter, 4.5‑inch (114mm) mid‑range driver and a 7‑inch (178mm) long‑throw woofer.

The primary speaker has a small LCD screen on the lower left which informs you of the current input/source.

Turning the speakers around we see the speaker connection port and bass reflex on both but everything else is located on the primary speaker.

From top to bottom we find the volume/source, bass and treble knobs, RCA LINE IN, optical port, coaxial port, HDMI eARC port, 3.5mm sub out, power port and the on/off switch.

Each of the speakers sits on 4 round feet as seen above.

Mounting the grilles makes the R2750DB MKII feel a bit old school.

Even though the remote control is nothing to get excited it does pack everything you need.

As usual I primarily used the R7 and R9 music players by FiiO to test the R2750DB MKII and as you can see, they dwarf the R9.

CONNEX APP

Once again just like with past models for full control over the new R2750DB MKII I strongly recommend downloading the Edifier ConneX smartphone app.

From the main tab this app allows you to change the input source (LINE IN, HDMI, Optical, Coaxial, Bluetooth), use the built-in equalizer (4 effects and 1 custom), set the volume and change input.

Accessing the settings tab (top right) allows you to read the online manual, change the speaker channel (left/right), enable/disable power saving mode, change the codec to LDAC 96kHz (disabled by default - once enabled the Hi-Res logo lights up in the main tab), enable/disable prompt tones, power off the speakers, disconnect Bluetooth and reset all settings to their factory defaults.

CONCLUSION

    As the review comes to a close, the Edifier R2750DB MKII stands out as a system that gets its fundamentals right and then layers on genuinely useful modern features. Its volume performance is confident and controlled, with enough headroom to handle everyday listening, movies, and near‑field music sessions without strain. Audio reproduction remains one of its strongest qualities with clean and accurate mids, smooth treble, and a well‑behaved low end that benefits from the three‑way active design. The build quality feels reassuringly solid, with cabinets that look and feel more premium than their price bracket suggests. As for connectivity things here are simply excellent, HDMI eARC with CEC, Optical and Coaxial digital inputs, analog LINE IN, LDAC 96kHz capable Bluetooth, multipoint pairing, and app‑based EQ control give the MKII a level of flexibility that fits both traditional setups and modern multimedia spaces. There are, however, a couple of caveats. Current availability isn’t yet where it should be, with stock varying significantly by region. LDAC 96kHz still needs to be turned on from the ConneX app. And while the cabinets are well‑built and visually balanced, their overall size combined with the volume output leaves a small gap between expectation and reality since end users might anticipate slightly more loudness given the three‑way design and enclosure volume. It’s a minor shortfall, but one worth mentioning for volume‑focused listeners. Even so, the R2750DB MKII stands as a capable, hi‑res‑ready bookshelf speaker that offers clarity, control, and a genuinely modern feature set.

    The Edifier R2750DB MKII currently retail for USD499.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 299.99Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) so they are clearly priced higher than expected on the other side of the Atlantic. That aside however the R2750DB MKII offer great value not only due to their audio quality (which is extremely good for the price) but also connectivity and build quality so the Golden award is well deserved.
