Very nice review with great B-roll
footage! :)
Thanks a lot!
If you can’t hear the difference between the modes, you’re in the wrong business friend
he probably does not understand how dsp works, so just ran through presets and didn't wait for dsp to kick in.
I feel just 0.001% difference in the eq modes. This just makes no sense being an expensive speaker and having eq modes like this.
@@SC-kd5ln I hear obvious differences in presets. You don t have good years
@@SC-kd5ln Features like this appeal to the consumer audio crowd and not the Pro audio crowd.
Great review Richard! I’m really keen to get these and mainly want to use them on my MacBook Pro via Bluetooth.
How do you find the latency with Bluetooth when using Aptx? I’ll mainly use them for watching UA-cam videos and Netflix 😊
Thanks, I'm glad you liked the review! The speakers were sent out on a temporary basis so I will have to recall from memory. I do think that there was a little bit of latency which seems to be typical of Bluetooth, but I have no devices that support Bluetooth 5.0 yet so I was testing on Bluetooth 4.2 and primarily tested with music listening. I imagine it may be better if you have a device that supports Bluetooth 5.0. I hope this helps, thanks for watching!
Excellent review, thanks.
I'm glad you enjoyed the review, thanks for watching!
I have a question, maybe someone knows, I have had them for a few weeks, does anyone else have a problem with bass reflex, and more specifically with gurgling / wheezing when they are set louder. Less in some songs, more in others. When it happens, such a bassless moment without treble is very audible. Is this a problem for this series or I have a faulty copy, the music sounds good, mainly via BT from the phone, but only high quality 44Hz 320kbps rips. I still have an edifier s730 and no problem there. I checked it on one track is on CYBERPUNK 2077 SOUNDTRACK - RUN by Steven Richard Davis & Kings of Collapse ”you can hear very strongly from the beginning.
With 2 speakers plugged in. How's the electricity consumption on these speakers.
how are they with movies and everyday TV and sports ? via the optical input to the TV... thx...cheers from Canada
Wow you nailed your presenting of this slick and no rubbish... I put these to Darko Audio in the comments of his latest review which is coincidentally and helpfull for being on topic, of a pair of SVS Prime Wireless Pros... He pointed out that the Edifier S3000 Pros do not have HDMI arc connection or a streaming board. But I pointed out I don't care and that there's no umbilical connector which is the big issue I have with my room. No reply to that!... But are the EDIFIER S3000s still the only system with no umbilical or what? Edit I Have subbed you young man!
Thanks for your comment, I’m glad you enjoyed the review and for sharing your thoughts on the speakers - enjoy and thanks for subscribing.
Quick question! When I have the speakers set to the lowest possible volume, they're still quite loud and I cannot figure out how to adjust this. Has anyone else had this issue? The lowest sound setting almost sounds like it's already up 5 or 6 notches. Is there a way to calibrate this? Thanks
Thanks for the review. Does the remote control turn the mains power off on BOTH speakers, or only the main speaker? I see that both speakers have separate, mechanical on/off power switches.
The remote turns off each speaker (essentially into a sleep state) however the on/off switch on each of the speakers is for their individual power supplies. Thanks for watching, consider subscribing if you'd like to see more!
You have fantastic video quality . Can I know what are you gears used for video and audio recording?
Thank you! I use a Canon 90D with Sigma 18-35mm lens and a Rode NTG-1 microphone. If you'd like to see more videos in the future please consider subscribing!
Thank you for the review.
I am considering the S3000 at the moment as I will be moving to a much smaller space.
With regards to the wireless connection between the two speaker, may i know if there is an amplifier in the second speaker too?
Wouldn’t that makes it like a mono block system?
Just curious.
Thanks again.
Yes, both speakers are powered individually. Thanks for watching the video, consider subscribing to see more!
Anyone that owned this from the past 2-5 years, do they still work great up to this time? Considering all the good reviews with this all in one active speaker system I am wondering the lifespan of this active bookshelf speakers. Thanks in advance.
Hello, klipsch the fives or edifier s2000 Mk3? For movies y música? Thanks!!!!!
Hello, thank you very much for the video. How is the quality of the built-in DAC for use with USB?
I did most of my testing with the USB connection and I found it to sound very nice. Thanks for watching the review, if you would like to see more videos please consider subscribing!
Would these be good for listening to vinyl?
Seran mejor que s350db?
Good one. Keep it up.
Thanks for watching the review!
hi I have a question people...first these are on sale for 850 ( canadian ) 630 ( USD ) so a nice price....i currently have a Bose 600 soundbar and a 500 module connected via HDMI Arc....CAN I ALSO HOOK THESE SPEAKERS VIA OPTICAL AND USE ALL OF THE SPEAKERS FOR MY TV ?...I really hope so...cheers all
Compare with the Edifier R2850, please.
Hi Richard, thanks for informative n great video!
Btw, may I get your subjective opinion, is s3000 pro clear enough for listening tv show of movies from netflix?
I'm glad you like the video - definitely, the speakers have a clear sound! Thanks for watching the video, consider subscribing to see more!
@@RichardTech thank you so much for your input. This helps me to decide to buy this speaker.... sure I will subscribe your channel
Is there a way to change between the modes (Classic, Dynamic, Monitor and Vocal), without using the remote?
Thanks
I don't believe so unfortunately, thanks for watching!
@Richard Tech Is sound quality good via usb port ? Should I buy audio interface like scarlett 2i2 ? My motherboard has 4 audio ports and supports 7.1 channel speaker. Can I connect this speaker via rca cable ?
Yes I would say so, I mainly tested the speakers using the USB connection and I was very happy with how it sounded, it does indeed also support RCA, I show all of the inputs at 1:44.
2i2 sounds like crap so don't
Optical cable rocks! My best response.
What's the function of usb type b port here ? How to connect this speaker to a computer ? Which cable should I use to connect it to my computer ?
The USB Type-B port is used to connect the speakers to a computer, the speakers come with an included USB Type-A to Type-B cable to get up and running. Thanks for watching the review, if you found it useful, please consider subscribing to the channel!
I liked the “the tweeter 107mm, woofer is 6.5 inches” 🤓😎
Badass speakers, I'm getting this very soon😁
Hey, is S3000 pro good on low volume, btw? I'm considering buying, but no offline store I can check with.
It does do a good job at low volumes thanks to the drivers and speaker cabinet size. Thanks for watching the review!
How does do these speakers compare to a soundbar or a Home Theatre in a Box in the same price range?
Exactly what I’d like to know as well
yes i would like to know also
I'm not really an audiophile but I just want really good sound. I'm thinking of getting a Denon PMA-800 amp and a set of speakers to go with it, but after seeing this Edifier, do you think it's worth getting the amp? Could these Edifiers alone do it for me? I just want something I can play music on using Bluetooth and perhaps a CD player next time and also connect to the TV.
Hey there - unless you are planning to use the AMP for mixing audio sources I can’t imagine there’s a substantial benefit as the speakers are self-powered so they should be able to provide what you’re looking for out of the box. However, you can always get an amp if you feel like you need it further down the line versus getting both in one go. Hope this helps - thanks for watching the video, consider subscribing to see more!
@@RichardTech thank you, Richard. That's useful advice. Gonna sub. 👊
Make it sound man that's why am here to hear it
Which is the most accurate Preset for them? Monitor, Classic, Vocal or Dynamic?
yes
Definitely monitor 100%
Could you use these as computer speakers? Or would that require turning down the volume too much?
Yes you can, the speakers can get quiet if you need them to be. Thanks for watching the review, if you found the video useful please consider subscribing!
@@RichardTech thank you for your answer, subscribed as a result 😎
@@RichardTech do you think you could even tell the difference in sound quality on low-ish volume between the S2000mkiii and the S3000pro?
I plan on using them as computer speakers. Just not sure the extra money is worth it, since I probably won’t be bumping them very often
This is from memory but I don't think there would be a substantial difference when using them as computer speakers. I believe the S3000Pro have larger woofers which may give slightly better bass performance, but if you're planning to listen at moderate and quiet volumes the S2000Mk3 should do just fine - they're still a very capable set of speakers.
That’s part of the beauty of the DSP being similar to ARC. Also, check out the Fives by Klipsch, and Kanto tux
I am curious . Are these any good with rock and metal music?
I didn’t specifically test with rock, but I did listen to some indie tracks and the speakers did a good job. Thanks for watching the review, if you’d like to see more videos please consider subscribing!
I think these are awesome for that. I like to listen to paramore for example. You can adjust the tuning to your liking with the presets and dials for bass and treble. I dont understand how this guy doesnt hear a difference between presets because they do actualy make a noticable difference with monitor being the flattest, classic has more treble sparkle, vocal brings the mids forward slightly(great for guitars and female vocals) and dynamic has more bass and treble which i use for low volume listening. You will find the right tuning for your liking with these but beware everytime you turn them off or switch inputs it will go back to classic(default).
Never turn them off, no need
Sound Test ?
I don't usually record the speakers of devices as it could misinform the viewer due to the quality of my recording of the speakers and how the viewer is listening to the video. Thanks for watching the review, please consider subscribing to see more videos!
How do they sound good with dolby atmos?
I wasn't able to try this out with Atmos unfortunately! Thanks for watching the review, if you found the video useful please consider subscribing!
@@RichardTech next question is should I get these or the svs 2.1 prime with that 300 watt sub?
I've not been able to try out those speakers, so can't comment on those.
@@RichardTech check them out, id like to see a good review on them. It is pretty much either these s3000pro or the svs prime 2.1. Almost identical price. Do I want stylish speaker that are beautiful to look at or wall shakeing bass.
Is it true that you can not add a sub?
There are some workarounds but they are... workarounds, there is no sub output on the speaker unit itself. Thanks for watching the review, if you found the video useful please consider subscribing!
@@RichardTech Thank you for your reply.
@@RichardTech how do you add a sub?
These or Klipsch The Fives?...
Unfortunately I've not been able to try out the Klipsch speakers so I will be unable to provide a comparison. Thanks for watching the video, please consider subscribing to the channel to see more in the future!
No subwoofer out?? Why? At this price point it should have a sub out.
I do agree with your point here, there are some workarounds but they are... workarounds. Thanks for watching the review, if you found the video useful please consider subscribing!
Agreed. No way small bookshelfs can fill out the sound properly. Asking too much from the woofer/midrange and something sadly has to give. I wouldnt buy these or any other active speakers without a sub out. Maybe at desktop or in bedroom, but that’s it
Speaker review without sample sound test? Info was good but at last you ruined my 7 minutes!
I don't usually record the speakers of devices as it could misinform the viewer due to the quality of my recording of the speakers and how the viewer is listening to the video. Thanks for watching the review, please consider subscribing to see more videos!
I wanted to buy them until I see its price in mainland China, it's like half of US price, so I will go for KEF
You need moar buttons on that shirt bro.
Please, please, please do not buy Edifier products. My S3000 didn't last 3 years. There is no repair options available. I repeat no speaker shop or direct repairs available. Stick with NAME BRAND!!!!
Thanks for sharing your experience, sorry to hear it wasn't a good one!
No sub out, not cool.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Power input is not grounded :) How can such device be serious ??? :)))
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Thanks for watching the review, if you found it useful, please consider subscribing to the channel!
No speaker measurements, opinion discarded. I'm kidding, but honestly we need some numbers to get an objective view of how these speakers perform, tired of these audiophile subjective reviews.
Thanks for sharing your feedback, I don't record speaker samples as there are a lot of variables in place such as how effectively I am able to record the speakers and how the viewer is listening to the audio from the review (although, hopefully, my description can help). I never claimed to be an audiophile, though, just sharing my experience 😀.
I was directed here from the Firmware Update page,however I am not able to download the update. When I click on the link nothing happens. May I contact Edifier and have them send a link to my e-mail. Thanks.
I would recommend contacting Edifier if you are having issues on their website. Thanks for watching the video, consider subscribing to see more!
