For the price these didn't blow me away. They're not terrible; but I think you can do better at much lower price points. I will say the design is creative and they seem rugged. They also seemed to run hot; although that could have been just the speakers I got. In any case better options out there.

Edifier is on a roll at the moment, releasing new and unique speaker systems that cover a wide range of budgets. Under review here is a budget orientated system with both an interesting style and technical appeal. How well does it stack up to the multitude of $100 desktop stereo systems out there?

Balanced soundscape; Low price; Unique shape; Clever passive bass system

Proprietary cable; No volume memory

Very nice sound quality, but could have a bit more base in my opinion (I don't think more can be obtained without a sub woofer, that's why I'm giving 4 stars). The only disadvantage is, there is no base controller, but you won't need it much.

Sound excellent. Looks leave a little to be desired personally but they're not all that bad. They get loud and still sound great which makes up for their appearance.

Too cool and awesome. My one ear gone. Aft using it

Coming in at less than $100, Edifier, a manufacturer who is no stranger to computer speakers, have put together an attractive, above-average sounding pair of desktop speakers. Their two-channel stereo design utilizes a woofer/radiator combination to tackle bass sans subwoofer.

Unique Design; Simple and Effective; Great Sound; The Playlist

Bass is Lacking; Bulky Cables; Short Power Cord

There are few options for under-$100 PC speakers that deliver anything other than subpar audio quality, but Edifier has managed to make a sharp-looking, sharp-sounding system with the e10.

Overall excellent value for the price; Crisp, articulate audio performance with a focus on mids and highs; Unique design is eye-catching, but also properly aligns ears with speaker drivers

No remote control; Not for fans of big, deep bass

Edifier e10 Exclaim Desktop Speakers ($99) Roughly two years ago, Tyll posted some pretty major news , venerable electrostatic headphone company Stax had been purchased by a Chinese company called Edifier. Edifier? Who the heck is Edifier?

The Edifier e10 Exclaim is one of life's nice surprises: a 2.0 speaker system that not only looks a lot more expensive than it is, but sounds it too. The key to the Exclaim's success appears to lie in its unusual design.

With an unusual design and boasting DSP (Digital Sound Processing) technology, the Edifier e10 is a set of multimedia speakers that are designed for your desktop PC, tablet or smartphone (but to be honest they can be used with any device that offers a 3.5mm audio port).
