July 29, 2025
Edifier’s latest bookshelf speakers and smart home theater system supportAmazon Alexafor ultimate at-home convenience. While the company traditionally provides listeners with no-frills setups, its transition towardsmart homespeakers seems a safe, calculated move.

Alexa-enabled smart speakers
Media playback is made easy with the S1000A Alexa-enabled smart bookshelf speakers, andBluetoothaudio quality remains perceptibly lag-free withaptXsupport. Housed beneath its wooden panels is a 5.5-inch aluminumbass speakeradjacent to a Class D amplifier. It wouldn’t be an Edifier product without a sophisticated matte black finish which adorns the center and back panels.
The B8A, on the other hand, is a more comprehensive home theater system with a Wi-Fi enabledsoundbarand separate subwoofer. Both are designed to mitigate internal resonance lesseningfrequencydistortion. Just like the S1000A, users can make commands via Alexa.
A 25mm tweeter unit and 70mm aluminumdriverrest in the soundbar while bass is delegated to the external 8-inch subwoofer. Altogether, the system boasts a total output of 154W and features a range of connectivity options includingHDMI with ARC, optical, coaxial, and auxiliary inputs. For users looking to forgo wired listening, the system comes with Bluetooth 4.1 and Wi-Fi support to boot.
Currently, little else is known regarding the S1000A and B8A systems except that both will be available in Q1 2019 with pricing to be announced.
TWS2 true wireless earbuds
Edifier’s most significant audio leap includes Bluetooth 5.0true wireless earbudswith IPX4 water-resistance. Listeners will reportedly enjoy a 10-meter travel distance beforeconnectivity begins stuttering. With three hours of standalone playback time, the TWS2 battery life is just okay. However, the included 500mAh charging case provides an additional nine hours of listening, and the earbuds only require 1.5 hours to complete a full charge cycle.
We anticipate the TWS2 will be available in Q1 2019 with pricing to be determined. Once for sale, listeners can pick between black or white color options.
