Edifier MR3 is a compact powered studio monitor pair that stands out for desktop listening, easy Bluetooth streaming, and strong value at this price. The speakers sound very good for the money, take up hardly any space, and can work well with a PC, DAC, or turntable preamp through their analog inputs. Bluetooth quality is described as close to wired, and the Edifier app adds a low pass filter and saved equalizer settings over Bluetooth. The main limits are modest bass and near field output, so larger rooms or phono setups may want a subwoofer or bigger speakers.

Common Questions (5)

  • No DAC is required because the MR3 has analog inputs including RCA, TRS, and AUX, and it is an active speaker so you cannot add an external amp. A PC can connect directly with a 3.5mm-to-RCA cable or 3.5mm-to-dual-TRS cable; a DAC is only needed if you want a cleaner USB-to-analog source.

  • The MR3 can sound good for desktop use, but several comments note that bass is limited by the small near-field design and 3.5-inch drivers. A subwoofer helps if you want more low end, especially for a larger room or phono listening.

    cwagdevshaneboBVRCshanebo

  • Yes, if the turntable has a built-in preamp or you add a separate phono preamp, the MR3 can be used directly because it is powered. Without a preamp, the turntable signal is too weak for these speakers.

    ashhongKamikazeKnifershanebo

  • Bluetooth quality is reported to be very close to wired for casual listening, and the Edifier app can add a low-pass filter and save EQ settings to the speaker when connected over BT. For gaming, wired is still preferable when latency matters.

    Shock96BVRCmrkalel

  • The MR3 is a near-field monitor meant for about 2-4 feet of listening distance, so it works best on a desk or in a small office. It can play in a larger room, but it will not fill a 350 sq ft space at party volume without help from a subwoofer or larger speakers.

Would this be good for a record player? Do I need an amp to run them? New in the audio space. Thanks
Depends on whether your table has a preamp built in. If yes, then powered speakers are fine. If no, you need a preamp.

Won't something like this work just connected to the motherboard audio header (since these monitors have an option for unbalanced TRS input)?

Or will going unbalanced make too much hum? (I am using an interface with my monitors and never tried hooking them up direct).

If it creates a hum then I would be out completely lol. I absolutely hate unnecessary sounds in my audio. USB would be the only clean way then?

Whoops, I got it switched. The TRS input is balanced but the RCA input is unbalanced.

So a cable like this?

The Edifier M60's have a USB-C connection if you want to make it easier and a digital connection. They go on sale for $149 from time to time. $169 right now.

MR4 units are $30 more. Maybe not as good since no BT.

I just got them for Christmas And I really like them. I use hem with a JDS labs amp and dac combo and they sound great.
You don't have a way to hook up an amp as this is an active speaker

These speakers are okay. The price is good but I wish they sounded a little better. On the other hand them taking up hardly any space is a huge advantage.

I have the MR4s. They're fine computer speakers. I use mine with a sub. I would recommend using something with a bit more depth for a phono setup, but that's just me.
