I'm sure that the 2000DB sounds better, however the option to add a subwoofer to the 1850 makes them a much more worthwile purchase in my opinion. You can easily get much better bass then the 2000 with even the cheapest of Subs, let alone a midrange or highend one.
Got my r2000db a year ago and I still love them. Best speakers I’ve had. The stock setting lacks a bit of treble but when that is fixed they’re perfect. And they also pump out suprisingly much sound for being bookshelf speakers if needed. And the overall quality is amazing for the price. Got them for 140€ so super cheap for these speakers, in my country at least.
I bought an 1850. Good sound, but too much high frequencies. After a few weeks, I noticed that the passive speaker in the back was buzzing on the bass. I took it to the store, listened to other speakers of the same kind and everyone had such a problem. As a result, I took 2000 and I liked them more: balanced sound, more bass, good high frequencies. I listen with Focusrite Scarlet 2i4.
This is exactly what happened to mine. Ordered the r1850, i loved the sound quality, but there was a noticeable buzzing noise in the 50-100hz range. Returned the 1850 and got the 2000s instead. Much more bass indeed. I would say that it is a bit overwhelming. Over the other frequencies. Also, those do sound more boxy than the r1850s. I would say that if the 1850s had no defects, I would have liked them more for a small to medium room, but i can't complain about the r2000 either.
cat fish my thought too. I would probably pay much more to get better speakers such as S3000pro but i cant play them to their fullest where i live, so i gotta settle with these.
The 1850's go loud enough to make your neighbors start hating you :) It kinda surprised me. Update, I couldn't help myself and hooked up an old used (€40,-) Tannoy TS8 sub which, is a not boomy, closed and tight sounding 8" sub without without bass reflex port. It softly "breathes" the 60 to 30 ish Hz range which I was missing very nicely. They sound pretty good on their own but adding a sub really completed the sound.
I bought both to test. The R2000 is much better than the R1850. The R1850 has very little bass making vocals sound less rich and full. The R1850s highs are about as great as the R2000s, but with the lacking bass and mids, the music sounds relatively flat. Spend the extra $50 for the R2000. You won't regret it.
really?i found the lack of detail in the 2000 very obvious due to the bass bloat. i'd rather than an R1850 + save for a good subwoofer. i think the R2000 is in a really difficult place because if you want bass, get the 350db/360db, if you want detail, get the 1700bt. if you want the option to add a subwoofer, get the 1850bt. i get the R2000 is more for higher end people who dont want subs and want stero reproduction of the lower hz, but i just find it really fails at it in the grand scheme of things and those users are better off investing in higher end speakers.
@@ffdfdfdfdfdfdfdf Exactly my opinion, im just a regular "listener" (far from audiophile), but theres some clarity and open sound in the 1850's which is lovely, at least to my taste. For bigger rooms and or bass lovers, the 2000s.
The R1850DB seems to be a good budget choice regarding effortless listening to different styles of music. The R2000DB comes with a stressed bass and sounds some unbalanced to me. They maybe preferred by listeners of EDM, but I prefer pop music, jazz and music which is played on acoustic instruments. So, as all purpose speakers for a small amount fo money I would feel quite comfortable with the R1850DB.
The R200DB is at the same price point of the R2730DB and the second of the two is far far bass heavier, people actually like R2000DB for its balance rather than its bass, or so I think.
You prolly dont care but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream all of the new series on instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my brother for the last couple of days :)
The vocals and the instruments are clearer with the R1850DB and if you think theres to less bass you can turn it up. The description says that the bass and treble are set to neutral.
Interested to hear how they go in a DJ setup. I run 2 Athena bookshelves and a 8inch powered sub and it's enough for a small indoor venue but I played a backyard party and thought my system was lacking in volume a tad sometimes. I spin vinyl and a few records that weren't cut very loud didn't sound that great. Wondering if the 1850s and a sub would do the trick
1850 vocals are much more clear and detailed. I think i will get these and add a sub. It should fill it out more like the 2000 but with better highs and vocals.
Hello! I wanted to congratulate you for the quality of your videos and your always wise advice. By the way, I was wondering which speaker to choose (r1850db or r2000db) to connect to a turntable that does not shine by its quality ... which would be more "tolerant"? Thank you in advance!
Hi! The biggest difference between them is the bass response. R2000 can reach a bit lower and play louder as well. Get R2000DB or, even better, go for S1000DB if it is in your price range
Which would you choose, the 1850 with a 10” poll sub or the 2000’s alone? Just to toss in another question the same thing 1850’s with a sub vs the s2000pro also?

We see that the R2000 costs about 50% more than the R1850.. I particularly, I think justified this price difference. I would pay without any doubt the extra cost of the R2000.

Well the 2000rb is rear ported so it need to be AT LEAST 15cm (6inch) from the wall. It makes a huge difference. Lowering the bass knob isn't ideal... And won't correct this issue IMO

I have a sub-woofer with three, 6 inch drivers. It's a Creative GigaWorks T3 SLAM. I broke the satellite speakers that come with that 2.1 set, so I bought the R1850DB to replace the satellites I dropped. Will this work?
Yes the 1850 seems to have way more detail and clarity. However, you have to dive deep into your pockets to find a matching good quality sub. So if you can't find a lucky deal, you better spent the extra money on S1000 or even S2000MKIII which go really low with lots of detail.
@@rdolle990 LOL, I bought the Edifier s2000MKIII and now don't use a sub. how funny. I bought them a few months back. And yes, lots of low end. They don't pick up that 40hz low end, but it does great, and mostly go low enough. Impeccable speakers.
currently have a set of s350db and wanting a nice gloss black look for my pc desk. Granted i have a subwoofer on mine i will be going with a sub with these as well mainly wanted to hear audio quality between the 2 and this video helped. will still go with the 1850s as much as i hate to only because they will fit where i need them to better. the extra 50 bucks for nearly double the power is definitely worth it for the 2000s though.
Even though the 2000 have more body and composure (due to be more powerful etc), there's an amazing "open clear sound" in the 1855db which for my tastes are lovely. So idk, though choice for a small room, depending on the objectives. For big room and/or more bass clearly the 2000s.

r2000db is same price as r1850db right now, 199.99. What would be better, 1850 with sub, or 2000? what sub would best go with the 1850? Without a sub, is 2000 a better buy than 1850 at the same price?
Fala amigo! Tô aqui pesquisando sobre a marca. Acho que o R2000 tem um médio mais presente e realista, o que ajuda na produção, por outro lado, o grave é excessivo pode atrapalhar. Então, estou vendo outras opções da marca. Agora, esse canal é excelente! Top demais os comparativos.
I am a little confused to get r1850+polk sub vs Marshal Wouburn vs polk magnifi/command bar ..I know its not fair comparison but i need best speakers for music....90% use is for music and that too electronic...any help.will be much appreciated..

Dear Digital Stereophony, could you please compare the R1850db and S1000MKII, why am I interested is, just wanted to know why would it be good/bad to spend an extra money! Please consider my request. I wanna get as one for me as soon I conclude! Please do shares your verdict at the end! Thanks
Got the 1850's for my desk and found them not that particularly as open and sharp sounding as they appear here. I can imagine, hearing them compared to the R2000DB, the R2000DB would sound rather muffled in the mid/high range? Liking the 1850's a lot but there could be a little less upper bass in their tuning. They are great fun and value for the €100,- deal I got.
@Neo Anderson The right choice I think, although less bass, the 1850 have way more detail and to me higher quality of sound. If you want to complement them with a sub, go search for a decent sub and not a cheap one as they deserve it. Look for used active sub like Tannoy TS8 TS10 or TS12, and old Rel or B&W. Enjoy!
Here's my dilemma. I can get the R2000DB's from Costco for $260 CAD ($199 USD), and the 1850DB's for $272 CAD from pretty much anywhere. The R2000DB's for whatever reason are $143 cheaper at Costco than anywhere else I can get them, including Amazon. I can also get the S350DB's (with sub) for $418 CAD ($321 USD) from Costco. So which to get? The 1850's and add a sub (probably looking at close to $500 CAD), or the R2000DB's for $288 CAD with tax, or the S350DB's for $464 CAD all-in?
Hi I just Added T5 subwoofer with 1850 but the subwoofer is barely making any sound even after turning the volume knob to max. I connected my speakers via rca to 3.5mm in my PC and connected subwoofer using given RCA to 3.5mm sub to Sub out port of speaker. Am i doing anything wrong let me know .... Thanks
So, you connected 3.5mm jack to sub out on 1850. And check if you connected RCA side to INPUT on sub. Set Freq dial and volume dial to the middle to start with. If that does not work, faulty unit perhaps?

Digital Stereophony thanks for your reply, I’ll have 3 sources: project elemental turntable, bluetooth and Optical from my TV. Do you think they’ll be ok for the TV too?
dependant on the subwoofer.. the 1850 will destroy it because you can buy a 8-10inch subwoofer which will cost 2x the 350fb. my bk monolith xl plus is 2-3x the price of the 350db and will destroy them in the bass department in every way imaginable. if u mean a 350db vs an 1850 + a budget subwoofer.. it would be more interesting but i think ultimately unfair again because the sub will have its own power supply.. so that setup is playing with more power.. so will obviously yield a better result. thats ignoring the superior sateletties due to size.
@@ffdfdfdfdfdfdfdf Yes, the 350 sub is the T5 and it's a very mediocre sub. It will add some lower Hz range and some slam but that's it. In the end only a B&W AWS610 sub really did a very nice job for the 1850's . I got it insanely cheap though.
Get the 1850 that has a sub out and plug the T5 in. It is way better than the 351/360 will ever be. Reason is this, you can control crossover with the speaker/T5 combo, you cant with the 350/351/360. You can also adjust bass separately on the speaker and sub but you cant with the 350/351/360. It is also vital to get an edifier speaker with a sub out and not use a Y splitter and all that because edifiers speakers with a sub out have low pass filter and stops playing lower frequencies that the sub is already playing. Without this low pass filter, your speakers will continue to play frequencies that your sub is playing, overlap and make things sound muddy.
Hi! I would put it on a desk, not too far from the wall. Which is recommended, if both have the same price? Would the back bass reflex on the 2000 be a little bit dumped putting some socks inside the cavities? If so, would it sound still good? Thanks a lot!!! :D
Hey! I’m currently using the JBL boombox with my turntable. Was thinking of the edifiers (1850 or 2000). In terms of the price, the boombox is more expensive but it’s portable. Wanted to know if this would be a better set up with my record player. Thanks in advance!
Hi I am into purchase a 2.1 speaker system. I shortlisted Klipsch Promedia 2.1BT, Edifier S350DB. But after seeing this video I am again confused! I know these are 2.0 speakers but I notieced that the Edfier 1850DB has this sub woofer out option so if I add a nice Yamaha NS-SW100(10 inch 100 watt) or Yamaha NS-SW050 to it what will be the result. is it outperform the Klipsch Promedia 2.1BT and Edifier S350DB. Please help me out from this issue. by the way I am from India and in my area I cant find any help for this issue.My main preference is the sound!.I need well pronounced "treble" and sharp punch of "low".Hope you will understand my issues. thanks
Manoj Madhavan yes...you are right..s350 satellites are too small and the woofer has no controls is very difficult to tame and adjust with only a bass knob..you need independent vol control and freq adjust on the sub..s350 lack both...so you are right adding a sub to the 1850 is far better
Edifier S350DB has a good bass response, tight and clear than Klipsch. Anyway bass is depends on songs. Some songs has low bass level, adjusting bass knob on S350DB could not be help in this case.
Opptnty If you compare the highs of the S350DB with Klipsch Promedia which is better? I have heard d the Logitech Z623 and I don’t like the sound stage of it. Overall what is best Klipsch or Edifier?
Manoj Madhavan If your priority is the sound, not portability, I suggest the KRK Rokit RP 10-3, is a 3-way monitor with a great cost-benefit ratio. If the KRK is not available in your country or you want something cheaper, but with performance a little below, I suggest the Edifier R2800 or even the R2730.
@@abhishekrohera he answered ur question. if u want a sub.. get the 1850db. i find it so strange how people seem to think an active speaker at this price point can replace the performance of a sub. it cant get close due to physical sonic limitations. look at the size of a sub.. its bigger than these speakers. asking speakers to try and compete with a big box dedicated to the low end only is unfair.

if ur gonna get a sub, get R1850db. if ur not, get 2000.
I have a sub-woofer with three, 6 inch drivers. It's a Creative GigaWorks T3 SLAM. I broke the satellite speakers that come with that 2.1 set, so I bought the R1850DB to replace the satellites I dropped. Will this work?
@@Dennzer1 It's an active sub with audio input (RCA). So yes that should work. If it matches quality and sound is another question.
Yes the 1850 seems to have way more detail and clarity. However, you have to dive deep into your pockets to find a matching good quality sub. So if you can't find a lucky deal, you better spent the extra money on S1000 or even S2000MKIII which go really low with lots of detail.
@@rdolle990 LOL, I bought the Edifier s2000MKIII and now don't use a sub. how funny. I bought them a few months back. And yes, lots of low end. They don't pick up that 40hz low end, but it does great, and mostly go low enough. Impeccable speakers.
currently have a set of s350db and wanting a nice gloss black look for my pc desk. Granted i have a subwoofer on mine i will be going with a sub with these as well mainly wanted to hear audio quality between the 2 and this video helped. will still go with the 1850s as much as i hate to only because they will fit where i need them to better. the extra 50 bucks for nearly double the power is definitely worth it for the 2000s though.
Even though the 2000 have more body and composure (due to be more powerful etc), there's an amazing "open clear sound" in the 1855db which for my tastes are lovely. So idk, though choice for a small room, depending on the objectives. For big room and/or more bass clearly the 2000s.
Can you tell more about Edifier R1850DB Bass output slot, is it Coaxial out put or RCA output ?
The sub out on R1850DB is analog RCA output

r2000db is same price as r1850db right now, 199.99. What would be better, 1850 with sub, or 2000? what sub would best go with the 1850? Without a sub, is 2000 a better buy than 1850 at the same price?
Em relaçao a monitor de referencia para home studio, R1850DB foi o que me mais me agradou, por conta do som definido!!!
Fala amigo! Tô aqui pesquisando sobre a marca. Acho que o R2000 tem um médio mais presente e realista, o que ajuda na produção, por outro lado, o grave é excessivo pode atrapalhar. Então, estou vendo outras opções da marca. Agora, esse canal é excelente! Top demais os comparativos.
Achei esse video no mesmo canal, comparando com as HS da Yamaha (a queridinha dos produtores) ua-cam.com/video/GFfZi_iBbwY/v-deo.html
The soundstage is wider on 1850. r1855db + sub will be better than just the r2000 since r2000 doesn't have a sub out.
Wich one of these would u recommend for movies and music?
I am a little confused to get r1850+polk sub vs Marshal Wouburn vs polk magnifi/command bar ..I know its not fair comparison but i need best speakers for music....90% use is for music and that too electronic...any help.will be much appreciated..
The woburn stands no chance against the 1850 + good budget sub like the polk or elac.

Dear Digital Stereophony, could you please compare the R1850db and S1000MKII, why am I interested is, just wanted to know why would it be good/bad to spend an extra money! Please consider my request. I wanna get as one for me as soon I conclude! Please do shares your verdict at the end! Thanks
Got the 1850's for my desk and found them not that particularly as open and sharp sounding as they appear here. I can imagine, hearing them compared to the R2000DB, the R2000DB would sound rather muffled in the mid/high range? Liking the 1850's a lot but there could be a little less upper bass in their tuning. They are great fun and value for the €100,- deal I got.
@Neo Anderson The right choice I think, although less bass, the 1850 have way more detail and to me higher quality of sound. If you want to complement them with a sub, go search for a decent sub and not a cheap one as they deserve it. Look for used active sub like Tannoy TS8 TS10 or TS12, and old Rel or B&W. Enjoy!
I thought they sound the same but the R2000DB is louder with bigger bass soundings.
In Amazon canada, the difference is only $50 between the two. R2000db is a better value if you don't plan to add a sub.
in europe its only 50cents difference atm
Can u plz also compare r1850db with SWANS D1080-IVB
Best EQ for R2000DB?
Here's my dilemma. I can get the R2000DB's from Costco for $260 CAD ($199 USD), and the 1850DB's for $272 CAD from pretty much anywhere. The R2000DB's for whatever reason are $143 cheaper at Costco than anywhere else I can get them, including Amazon. I can also get the S350DB's (with sub) for $418 CAD ($321 USD) from Costco.
So which to get? The 1850's and add a sub (probably looking at close to $500 CAD), or the R2000DB's for $288 CAD with tax, or the S350DB's for $464 CAD all-in?
In my country when you buy a product online you have 2 weeks to return it without any questions .
Just try R2000DBs first in my opinion.
Why cant they put a subout, optical and coax on the r2000db? Edifier, are you listening???
What do you guys think of Edifier R2000DB as TV speakers? I'm worried they are better for nearfield purposes.
Keep in mind that their lowest volume when connected to a digital input is a bit too high for some cases.
como pode a 2000DB ter agudos piores? Excelente teste. Hugs

Hi I just Added T5 subwoofer with 1850 but the subwoofer is barely making any sound even after turning the volume knob to max. I connected my speakers via rca to 3.5mm in my PC and connected subwoofer using given RCA to 3.5mm sub to Sub out port of speaker. Am i doing anything wrong let me know .... Thanks
So, you connected 3.5mm jack to sub out on 1850. And check if you connected RCA side to INPUT on sub. Set Freq dial and volume dial to the middle to start with. If that does not work, faulty unit perhaps?
Brutal channel THANKS!!!!
Sos un capo....gran prueba 👍
Estoy a punto caramelo de comprarme estos r2000db...son un caño!
@@miguelangelayala6446 lo mismo digo. 44 lucas en Mercadolibre (200 dolares blue, en amazon valen $299 dolares). Los compraste?
@@francohic si pa, los compré en ML, son zarpados, los uso generalmente con foobar2000 en la PC y discos en flac y wav, y les mande a hacer un pedestal a cada uno de madera del mismo color quedan divinos, asi no los apoyo en una misma mesa a ambos, y suenan increíble, la perilla de bajos en cero porque no hace falta subirle (para pelis le subo un poco), lo único que no pude probar todavía es la mejora en el Audio si conecto a través de óptico, porque mí placa de sonido tiene salida miniolug 3.5 nomás a RCA, pero estoy pensando en comprarme una Asus con salida óptica para probar, porque en teoría el DAC incorporado del r2000 trabaja con la entrada óptica...asi que veremos.
@@miguelangelayala6446 tremendo. Buenisimo. Los DACs que convierten de optixo a RCA de mercadolibre de 1.200 son MUY buenos. Son chinos genericos pero el chip es excelente. Igualmente yo lo uso porque no me queda otra, no hay gran diferencia con el rca *puro".
Que bueno que suenen increibles estos r2000db. Abrazo
@@francohic si suenan muy bien, igual yo te decía de usarlo de óptico a óptico, que salga digital y entre digital al r2000 y asi se encargue el DAC del edifier de hacer la conversión y no el chipset realtek del audio de la PC...pero bueno igual no creo que la diferencia sea abismal...veremos jaja, un abrazo pa.
Would I be better getting off the r1850db plus a $100 subwoofer or the r2000db?
R1850DB plus subwoofer IMO
Digital Stereophony are there any similar speakers like the r2000db in the $250-$300 price point?
@@ryanperi5701 Iloud micro monitor, great bass but has some issues
I can’t choose between R2000DB, R2730DB and S350DB... any suggestion?
If it is mostly for music listening than R2000DB gets my recommendation
Digital Stereophony thanks for your reply, I’ll have 3 sources: project elemental turntable, bluetooth and Optical from my TV. Do you think they’ll be ok for the TV too?
R2000DB is Your best bet IMO, also for TV use
Digital Stereophony do you know the Roth Audio VA4? What do you think about them?
Digital Stereophony what if I'd be using it as a soundbar?? Which would be the best for the bass this or the s350db??
compare Edifier S350DB to 1850+ subwoofer
dependant on the subwoofer.. the 1850 will destroy it because you can buy a 8-10inch subwoofer which will cost 2x the 350fb.
my bk monolith xl plus is 2-3x the price of the 350db and will destroy them in the bass department in every way imaginable.
if u mean a 350db vs an 1850 + a budget subwoofer.. it would be more interesting but i think ultimately unfair again because the sub will have its own power supply.. so that setup is playing with more power.. so will obviously yield a better result. thats ignoring the superior sateletties due to size.
@@ffdfdfdfdfdfdfdf Yes, the 350 sub is the T5 and it's a very mediocre sub. It will add some lower Hz range and some slam but that's it. In the end only a B&W AWS610 sub really did a very nice job for the 1850's . I got it insanely cheap though.
Get the 1850 that has a sub out and plug the T5 in. It is way better than the 351/360 will ever be. Reason is this, you can control crossover with the speaker/T5 combo, you cant with the 350/351/360. You can also adjust bass separately on the speaker and sub but you cant with the 350/351/360. It is also vital to get an edifier speaker with a sub out and not use a Y splitter and all that because edifiers speakers with a sub out have low pass filter and stops playing lower frequencies that the sub is already playing. Without this low pass filter, your speakers will continue to play frequencies that your sub is playing, overlap and make things sound muddy.
Just got the R2000Db. It was just $30 more than the R1850DB so i took the chance.
Can you now report ?
I dont know but i feel the r2000 has something blocking its driver

Absolutely. The sound is delicious for any use.
Everyone's ears are different. Period

Hi! I would put it on a desk, not too far from the wall. Which is recommended, if both have the same price?
Would the back bass reflex on the 2000 be a little bit dumped putting some socks inside the cavities? If so, would it sound still good?
Thanks a lot!!! :D
And if i increase the treble on the 2000, would it have similar treble as the 1850? Thanks again
does it same one R1850DB with R1580DB...?
Hey! I’m currently using the JBL boombox with my turntable. Was thinking of the edifiers (1850 or 2000). In terms of the price, the boombox is more expensive but it’s portable. Wanted to know if this would be a better set up with my record player. Thanks in advance!
R1850DB with a sub. Thats the best and will sound better than even a Boombox 2. The R1850DB is just the perfect match for subs.
R1850 + T5 = win 😁😁😁
What is the sub required for the r1850? Active or passive?
Active
R2000DB deeper and wider sound...
Hi I am into purchase a 2.1 speaker system. I shortlisted Klipsch Promedia 2.1BT, Edifier S350DB. But after seeing this video I am again confused! I know these are 2.0 speakers but I notieced that the Edfier 1850DB has this sub woofer out option so if I add a nice Yamaha NS-SW100(10 inch 100 watt) or Yamaha NS-SW050 to it what will be the result. is it outperform the Klipsch Promedia 2.1BT and Edifier S350DB. Please help me out from this issue. by the way I am from India and in my area I cant find any help for this issue.My main preference is the sound!.I need well pronounced "treble" and sharp punch of "low".Hope you will understand my issues. thanks
Manoj Madhavan yes...you are right..s350 satellites are too small and the woofer has no controls is very difficult to tame and adjust with only a bass knob..you need independent vol control and freq adjust on the sub..s350 lack both...so you are right adding a sub to the 1850 is far better
Thanks for the replay, do you know abt the Klipsch ? will it outperform ?
Edifier S350DB has a good bass response, tight and clear than Klipsch. Anyway bass is depends on songs. Some songs has low bass level, adjusting bass knob on S350DB could not be help in this case.
Opptnty If you compare the highs of the S350DB with Klipsch Promedia which is better? I have heard d the Logitech Z623 and I don’t like the sound stage of it. Overall what is best Klipsch or Edifier?
Manoj Madhavan If your priority is the sound, not portability, I suggest the KRK Rokit RP 10-3, is a 3-way monitor with a great cost-benefit ratio. If the KRK is not available in your country or you want something cheaper, but with performance a little below, I suggest the Edifier R2800 or even the R2730.
Which one to get is the question

@@abhishekrohera he answered ur question. if u want a sub.. get the 1850db. i find it so strange how people seem to think an active speaker at this price point can replace the performance of a sub. it cant get close due to physical sonic limitations. look at the size of a sub.. its bigger than these speakers. asking speakers to try and compete with a big box dedicated to the low end only is unfair.

Why is the R2000DB best for gaming and the R1850DB for movies can you explain that?
@@milanzeeman4454 he's saying it's because of the extra bass. Otherwise the 1850 will be fine. If you just want lots of bass save money and buy Logitech Z623, but those don't have great mids and highs, just boomy bass which I kinda hate so I'm returning them and ordered R1850s. I have a good sub lying around when I need extra bass anyway
