Edifier M130 Brings Retro Vibes and Modern Sound with Bluetooth 6.0 and 11-Hour Battery

Edifier is blending vintage charm with modern tech once again. The brand has just launched the M130 retro mini Bluetooth speaker in China — a compact device that looks straight out of the analog era but hides some serious digital muscle inside. Priced at 299 yuan (~$42), the M130 targets anyone who loves the aesthetic of the past but demands the convenience of today.

The design is pure nostalgia. Measuring 120 × 77 × 76 mm and weighing just 0.44 kg, the M130 fits easily in one hand yet feels like a classic tabletop radio. It comes in five color options, including a gorgeous Quiet Moss Green and a wood-grain finish that adds warmth to its minimalist frame. The woven mesh grille and piano-style keys with red-copper accents complete the retro aesthetic — the kind of speaker you’d want to display as much as you’d want to use.

Underneath that charming shell, Edifier has packed modern hardware. The M130 houses a 48mm full-range driver paired with an 80 × 40 mm passive radiator, producing an 8W RMS output with a 16W peak power. The sound is tuned for punchy bass, crisp vocals, and balanced mids, making it versatile enough for everything from podcasts to playlists. With a frequency response of 80Hz to 20kHz, it delivers the clarity you’d expect from Edifier, a brand that’s long earned its reputation among Asia’s audiophiles.

Connectivity is another highlight. The M130 supports Bluetooth 6.0, ensuring faster pairing and stronger signal stability — a big leap from older Bluetooth standards. It also offers TF card and USB sound card inputs for wired playback. The speaker can pair with two devices simultaneously for seamless switching, or connect two M130 units together in TWS mode for a true stereo experience — perfect for a mini party setup or a cozy home workspace.

Battery life is equally solid. The 2600mAh battery delivers up to 11 hours of playback at 80% volume and can stretch to 15 hours under lighter use. It charges via USB-C, because no one has time for outdated ports anymore. Edifier also included physical control buttons and support for the Edifier Connect app, where users can adjust volume, switch inputs, and choose between Music, Party, or Audiobook EQ modes.

Even the packaging leans into premium territory — the M130 ships in a gold-embossed gift box, making it a perfect present for anyone who appreciates design-driven tech. It’s a small touch, but one that highlights how Edifier continues to blur the line between gadget and lifestyle accessory.

The launch follows a busy season for Edifier, which recently introduced the Huazai New Cyber speaker with a built-in 2.8-inch display and 60W RMS output, along with the Lolli Pro SE earbuds boasting 48dB active noise cancellation and 43-hour battery life. The M130, however, stands out for something simpler — a reminder that great design doesn’t have to shout; sometimes it just hums beautifully.

For anyone chasing the retro revival trend sweeping through Asia’s gadget scene, the Edifier M130 feels right on cue — compact, nostalgic, and smart enough for the modern age.
