Short answer: the Edifier M60. It ranks #9 of 48 powered bookshelf speakers by sound quality, rated 4.0/5, at $199.99; the Edifier R2000DB ranks #80, rated 3.3/5, and costs $299.99, so there is little reason to consider the other one.
The case for the Edifier R2000DB: A simple powered stereo pair with Bluetooth, two analog inputs and optical for desktop or living room listening. The tradeoff: Listening impressions suggest a midrange-forward presentation.
What the Edifier M60 does well: Small desktop speakers with even sound, USB, Bluetooth and included stands, easy to set up at a desk. It supports LDAC Bluetooth, which the Edifier R2000DB lacks. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Edifier R2000DB lacks. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Edifier R2000DB lacks. Watch for: The on-axis response rises by about 0.57dB per octave, so the tonal balance becomes brighter toward the treble.
Buy the Edifier M60. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Edifier R2000DB and costs less, which makes it the one to get unless you need something the other one does better.
