Cooler, more laid-back treble may not suit listeners seeking a warm or forward top end.

What Reviewers Are Saying
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 87/100
The QR65 is voiced as an accomplished nearfield and desktop speaker, with notably clear midrange, a broad presentation, and more output than its compact dimensions suggest. Its bass is controlled and satisfyingly punchy at close range, though deep extension is naturally limited, while the treble has a cooler, more relaxed character that will be a matter of taste.
Bass
84/100
The rear-ported 2.75-inch drivers produce clean, controlled and punchy bass with some satisfying nearfield rumble. Deep-bass reach is limited by the compact enclosure, however, and the reviewer suggests using the subwoofer output for listeners wanting fuller low-end extension.
Mid
91/100
Midrange clarity is a particular strength. Vocals and instruments were described as detailed and easy to follow even at close desktop listening distances, without muddiness or congestion.
Treble
84/100
The high frequencies are presented as more laid-back and cooler-toned than expected rather than overtly aggressive. This should suit listeners who prefer a restrained top end, although those seeking a warmer or more forward treble may find the balance less immediately engaging.
Soundstage Imaging
90/100
For such compact desktop speakers, the QR65 was praised for delivering an impressively wide soundstage. The supplied upward-tilting stands also help direct the tweeters toward ear height for nearfield listening.
Dynamics
87/100
The QR65 maintained its composure in testing and was said to sing with a good amount of power even in a larger room. It is not tuned as a heavily bass-driven speaker, so its energy comes more from clean, controlled output than oversized low-frequency weight.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
86/100
The review describes the overall build quality positively, matching the QR65's premium styling and substantial desktop-speaker presentation. There is little detailed commentary on cabinet construction, component quality, or long-term durability.
Value for Money
85/100
At $369, the QR65 sits at a premium for a compact desktop speaker, but it bundles strong nearfield sound with distinctive RGB lighting, USB charging, Hi-Res support, Bluetooth 5.3, supplied stands, and a subwoofer output. The review presents it as aimed at buyers who value both audio performance and its feature-rich visual design, rather than directly comparing it with similarly priced rivals.

Acoustics, Lumia, and Electrics All-in-One System

Well-designed Acoustic Architecture
The 2.75" mid-low drivers, with the aluminium alloy diaphragm and benefiting from the long-throw design, can reproduce the bass with the frequency down to 55Hz and make the mids sound full-bodied and rich.
The 1.25" silk diaphragm dome tweeters are finely tuned for the precise reproduction of high frequency, from which the trebles sound crisp and bright.
With the MDF enclosure, the independent acoustic cavity, and the enhancement by patented MazeTube Bass Reflex Channels and TurbMuff Air Noise Suppression Technology, port noises and acoustic resonance are reduced to the lowest level.
Independent cavities for pure sound reproduction
End-to-end High Resolution Audio Process
The end-to-end audio process flow supports high resolution audio up to 24bit/96kHz.
The dual TI Class-D digital audio amplifiers provide the precise two-way active crossover, magnify high frequency signals and mid-low frequency signals separately, and manage DRC effectively.
Hi-Res Audio and Hi-Res Audio Wireless Certified
The USB-A and the RCA audio input ports support high-resolution audio signals. With the enhancement of LDAC technology, you can also stream high resolution audio up to 24bit/96kHz to this speaker via Bluetooth.
Speaker Stands Supplied
With the bundled aluminum speaker stands, the sound coloration effects can be diminished effectively, which arise from the sound reflection against the desktop surface.
Meanwhile, the design of 10-degree angle is for directing the sound precisely at ear level when the speaker is put on a desktop.
Need More Bass?
The SUB OUT port on the rear panel is available for the connection with an external subwoofer for more punchy bass.
Brilliant Light Effects
Powered by our patented TempoAbyss technology, the baffle can display splendid light effects, which looks like layers and layers of light ribbons falling down apart from the mirror.
With the button on the side panel, 11 preset light effects are available for your choice. You can also customize your own light effects more than 16 million on EDIFIER ConneX app.
TurboGaN High-efficiency Charging
