About the Edifier QR65
The QR65 is the speaker pair for a gaming desk that also has to sound good. Each side has a 1.25-inch silk dome tweeter and a 2.75-inch aluminium mid-low driver, for 70 W RMS in total. The front baffles light up with preset effects, and the EDIFIER ConneX app lets you create your own.
Inputs are Bluetooth 5.3 (Hi-Res Wireless with LDAC), USB-A and RCA, with a sub out for later. The pair also works as a GaN charger, with two USB-C ports (up to 65 W) and one USB-A port (up to 60 W) for a laptop or phone. The pair weighs 5.3 kg, so it needs real desk space.
