Short answer: the Edifier M60 is the more stylish, brighter desktop speaker, while the IK Multimedia iLoud Micro Monitor is the small-monitor choice for listeners who want surprising bass depth. Edifier’s touch-controlled cabinet and three-inch woofer make it a neat desktop package, but its response rises audibly into the treble. The iLoud Micro reaches unusually deep for its size, though its bass is somewhat boosted rather than strictly neutral.
On the Edifier M60 side: 1” dome tweeter paired with a 3” cone midwoofer, in a distinctively styled desktop cabinet with illuminated touch controls and a textured. The catch: Trends noticeably brighter moving from midrange into treble.
The case for the IK Multimedia iLoud Micro Monitor: Much deeper bass than any other speaker this size. Set against that: Slightly boosted bass.
Buy the Edifier M60 if you want a compact desktop speaker with touch controls and a lively top end.
Buy the IK Multimedia iLoud Micro Monitor if bass extension from a very small monitor is the deciding factor.
