Edifier e 25 HD
The Edifier e25 HD Luna turns a compact desktop system into a visual statement, pairing its sculptural cabinet with unexpectedly full bass from its passive-radiator design. Joshua Valour found its styling a major draw, making it an appealing lifestyle choice for listeners who prize space-saving design, Bluetooth convenience, and low-end presence over analytical detail.

Pros
Distinctive sculptural design makes it a particularly attractive choice for style-conscious desktop setups.
Bass output is stronger than expected for such compact speakers, helped by the passive radiators.
Cons
Overall sound can come across as thin and hollow, with a boxy, less-clean midrange.
Treble lacks refinement and can crackle or distort at higher volumes, limiting loud-playback composure.
Fixed speaker angle can make ideal desktop positioning harder to achieve.

What Reviewers Are Saying
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 75/100
The Luna prioritises its distinctive compact design over outright sonic refinement. The review found more bass than expected from its small drivers and passive radiators, but described the overall presentation as thin, hollow and less satisfying than similarly priced alternatives.
Bass
80/100
Bass is stronger than expected from the speaker's compact 3-inch-driver format, with the passive radiators helping it deliver more low-end presence than anticipated. It is not a bass-heavy presentation, however, and the reviewer felt the design left some potential untapped.
Mid
74/100
The midrange carries much of the musical content, but was described as hollow, boxy and not especially clean. This character appears to be a central limitation of the speaker's presentation rather than an occasional flaw.
Treble
70/100
Treble is neither especially resolving nor forward according to the review. At higher volume, the tweeter was reported to crackle and distort, limiting its ability to play loudly with composure.
Soundstage Imaging
75/100
The review provides little direct discussion of stereo width, image focus or depth. Its broader comments about a hollow overall sound do not suggest a particularly immersive presentation, but imaging was not specifically assessed.
Dynamics
71/100
The reported treble crackle and distortion at higher levels restrict dynamic headroom. The review does not offer much detail on low-level nuance or bass punch, but it does not present the speaker as one suited to demanding loud playback.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
75/100
The review focuses on the Luna's attractive styling rather than cabinet construction, driver durability or internal engineering. Its distinctive appearance is clearly a selling point, but there is little direct evidence about long-term build quality.
Value for Money
85/100
At around $149, the e 25 HD sits among compact powered desktop and lifestyle speakers. The review does not directly judge its value against peers, although it says several alternatives offer a better listening experience if the buyer is willing to give up some of the Luna's visual appeal.
