Same me, I would also choose the R1700BTS based on your sound samples. The mids and highs are significantly clearer, although the R1280TS looks better for my taste; but in this case function over looks.
Hey, I remember watching yours videos on sim racing wheels, and now I find your channel once again but now for the speakers I bought. Funny coincidence. And the videos are still great! :)
Best to use a headphone when you listen to the sound comparison. Without a headphone it feels like the R1700BTS sounds better but with when you listen with a headphone, both of the speakers sounds nice but you'd notice that the R1700BTS will have an exaggerated bass and the the sounds of all spectrum seems to not be balanced whereas the 1280TS seems to have a better balance of sounds throughout the spectrums.
I appreciate your style and the good amount of specs in the presentation. The sound test was not concludent in my opinion, something was happened with your audio source. I bought few days ago the 1700 bt and i can say they didn't have distortion under 80%. The tricky part is with audio source: i keep my audio source to max 75% and increase volume from speakers. If i do 100% in audio source they go to distortion much faster and at lower volume. Overall they sound very good for the price, rich, clear and with enough bass for a normal audition. Also if you want extra bass, you can get edifier t5 sub for 100$ and complete your sound.
You are using 1700bts mainly for tv. So do you using any other speaker for music listening purpose ? Do you think Edifier r1280t/r1280dbs is better option for music listening? Thank you
Well I listen to music on my R1700BTs with BT. They are better then the R1280xx. If you want the ultimate listening experience, try the G5000. I use them on my PC. ua-cam.com/video/QraPm2yd5h4/v-deo.html
I went with the R1700BTs I purchased from Edifier Australia for $169AUD about $100USD ive been looking for some for my bedroom computer have a creative sound bar which has done well its now 5 years old, but now hums so it was time I'm tossing up about buying the sub woofer, I did look at another sound bar with sub woofer but the R1700's were same price and the sound bar did have its draw backs and for the money if I get 5 years out of the Edifiers I will be a happy camper
@@fredbowman9392 The 1280DBS is the better speaker if you prefer neutral sound with no over emphasis towards a particular frequency. It's the best budget audiophile speakers for a balanced sound, well worth the price range, especially if you using to connect to a turntable for Vinyl listening...
I wanna buy one as an UPGRADE to my logitech z337, it's a 40rms 2.1 speaker. I use it for various purposes like music, gaming, podcast. Which one would you recommend including MR4?
Make sure that the stereo is working or not by following this quick video: ua-cam.com/users/shortsa9PhrAHnSLc?feature=share . If it is not working, see the settings of the sound card in your PC.
Thank you for this test, I also like R12 better in every way. But the most important thing is the sound. And just like you, I also liked R17 better. Especially since today the prices of both are almost the same. Thanks again. I bought R17. You are doing a really good job. Greetings.

Hello sir watched so many vdos of urs Im from india and have a budget of 5000rs or 10000rs max i can stretch I watch movies and listen to bollywood music and podcasts , etc . I need best clearity although im amateur i wud also appreciate bit amount of bass Im stuck at mr4 which is for 13k Presonus eris 3.5 which is for 10k Or edifier r1280db which is for 13k Or r33bt which is for 6k Shud i buy r33bt will it be enuf or mr4 if there is wayyyyyy more difference in clearity and bass and stuff than i wuf wait and save some and get mr4 , pls reply u the best Mostly all indian channels are stuck at bass cheap soundbars and speakers But this channel is gold
The R33BT is NOT better then the MR4. If you can get the R1280Ts, it is cheaper then the R1280DB but it hasn't BT. If you need BT, get the R1280DB or the R1280DBs. Thank you for watching my channel
@@KnowledgeSharingTech R1700BTs is awesome bookshelf speaker , though I will like to add Edifier T5 sub with it (very good combo) or other good option is edifier S350db for 2.1 R1850db has very weak subout.

I had both these speakers the lack of bass and mid on the bts is disappointing although the high is significantly different especially when listening to rock metal songs. Ive ordered the t5 wish me luck

2:24 just a note: The 1700BTs(and other variations) are actually 33W x2, the woofers are 18W x2 and the tweeters are 15W x2
whats the next step up in quality from edifer higher than the R1700 ?
I have both & i prefer the 1700bts although the 1280s are still very good speakers

Does anyone know why the Line 1 & 2 inputs on the Ediifer 1700bts are colored differently? Is there any different functionality?

Can you compare mr4 with 1700rts?
Noted, thanks for the suggestion
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Great sounds great value for your money just ordered some,
Glad it was helpful!
@@KnowledgeSharingTech for rock loud music which one better?
Thanks for the video. Can you connect a turntable and cd player to those Edifier speakers?
Yes you can!
@@KnowledgeSharingTech thanks
You can connect a turntable, but you got to make sure that it has phone preamp.
I should have said phono preamp.

R1700BTs
i used 1700bts for PC.. Why there is not stereo? No different left and right
hard to play game when stereo not active

How they sound against jbl charge 6 , I Know different classifications But I'm just curious
Which is great for movie watching on PC?
For PC, both are good, go with your budget
1700bts with yahama sub woofer can' possible if yes then how to setup or require cable?
Which one better, r1700Bts or r1855db? I’m confused to choose between them
I didn't try the R1855DB, I tried the R1850DB and found the R1700BTs better. Here's the video: ua-cam.com/video/EM08vN1sCM4/v-deo.html
Knowledge Sharing Tech, Which one would you recommend for just listening to music on record vinyl many thanks ?
R1700 BTs
Pourquoi pas la même chanson pour fair l'essai entre les 2 ???
Ben, c'est les mêmes chansons que je joue sur les 2
Sry my fault 😮
do you have a test of an edifier Subwoofer ? and how to connect them together ? i want to buy one but im not sure :)
I didn't yet test an Edifier Subwoofer. To my knowledge, they only the T5 as a standalone option
bluetooth can be turned off? thanks
When you change the input, BT will be deactivated
Thank you for this test, I also like R12 better in every way. But the most important thing is the sound. And just like you, I also liked R17 better. Especially since today the prices of both are almost the same. Thanks again. I bought R17. You are doing a really good job. Greetings.
Thanks
R1700BT(s) are 15W × 2 (tweeter) + 18W × 2 (mid-bass driver)....so 66w compared to 42w

Which is better r1855db or r1700bts?

1700 has active crossover. Of course it s better
Hello sir watched so many vdos of urs
Im from india and have a budget of 5000rs or 10000rs max i can stretch
I watch movies and listen to bollywood music and podcasts , etc . I need best clearity although im amateur i wud also appreciate bit amount of bass
Im stuck at mr4 which is for 13k
Presonus eris 3.5 which is for 10k
Or edifier r1280db which is for 13k
Or r33bt which is for 6k
Shud i buy r33bt will it be enuf or mr4 if there is wayyyyyy more difference in clearity and bass and stuff than i wuf wait and save some and get mr4 , pls reply u the best
Mostly all indian channels are stuck at bass cheap soundbars and speakers
But this channel is gold
The R33BT is NOT better then the MR4. If you can get the R1280Ts, it is cheaper then the R1280DB but it hasn't BT. If you need BT, get the R1280DB or the R1280DBs. Thank you for watching my channel
Ordered R1700BTS i hope it will be upgrade from logitech x540.
You won't regret it, they are excellent. I use them personally on my TV
@@zoso382 Hi. I have the 540s and want an upgrade. How did you like the R1700TS?
The R1280's also have bluetooth ... I wish they made the 1700bts in White, at least where I live they are not available in site..
The R1280TS don't have BT. For the R1280 series, only the DB and DBs have BT
@@KnowledgeSharingTech yes indeed, you are correct, seems like a good extra to have
Very good review sir and very good presentations skill.

Ja mam endifier 1280dbx ładnie grają nie drogie basu za mało ale da się wyczuć mimo to jestem zadowolony to dobra firma.
Got them second hand out pawn shop for £15! No value inthem apparently
Ja mam ustawienia na głośnikach bass max , tony 0 , głośność 45-50

Just picked up a Set of these for $119 AUD Absolute bargain. R1700*
Its not real "wood"
if you don't have limited budget then you're not watching this $100 dollar speaker comparison ;o]]
