I listened to this video 10 times, with rewinding of some sections, in sony 1000xm3 headphones. What can I say: S880DB sound really better, clearer, livelier, more natural, cleaner. But this difference is not equal to the difference in their prices. S880DBs cost twice as much due to the abundance of connection interfaces, and in this regard, and more sophisticated hardware. Well, I like the S880DB more purely outwardly, laconic, compact.
i had both. now using s880db. r1700bt seems boomy midbass and harsher treble. s880db total win in the mid range where r1700bt having poor mid range personally which was the main reason i sold them back after a month of usage.
Been missing my s1000 I had before I moved to the United States. I am debating between then S880db and new R1700dbs (which shouldbe almost the same as r1700db - subout) . Great to hear them side by side. Will say the 880db is just so much cleaner and more defined. Combined with its lovely appearance and compact body, it is definitely worth the premium! Thanks for the video.
Купил 1700 в сент. 20-го. Доволен как слон. Покупал сыну в его комнату к компу, но послушал и отбрал в спальню. Слушаю сам перед сном. Источник - планшет через блюпуп. Калонки сделаны очень качественно. Послушав их, я пошёл в зал и перетряхнул Ямаху 2003 года с колонками Мордан шорт 914 и сабом 908. Переподключил колонки чарез саб и его кроссовер. Заменил провода. Моя Ямаха заиграла. Старый звук меня не штырил и я забросил эту систему, а Эдики вдохновили. Стало обидно, что колонки за 9т почти уделывают трифоник в 5 раз дороше или даже 6.
5:25 vocal in this track seems to be much more natural with s880db. Thats why these are higher class and pricier speakers. Ppl in comments talk about clarity and bass, but the naturalness is very important too. Btw i own r1700bt, and like them still, especially with Nuprime udsd dac 💖, freaking amazing sound:)
Definitely like the vocals better on the S880DB, it might be this naturalness you talk about. It feels more real on the s880. Atleast through my Beyerdynamic DT990Pro's XD
Had the R1280 and decided to go straight for S880 and skip the R1700 (which edifier cs said to be a direct upgrade). The reason I picked these instead of other speakers in this price range is because the size, since I'm using it as computer speaker and will only be listening to these when using the computer, I didn't see the point of getting anything bigger, 5inch woofers just takes too much real estate on a desktop setup. In terms of build quality these actually feels premium due to wood finish and the white matte case, its very elegant and really goes well with a desktop setup since it doesn't stand out as much. The sound quality, wow what an upgrade from the R1280s, the sound stage is surprisingly wide for speakers in this price range, mid is well defined the highs are crisp, compared to the R1280 its miles ahead. I agree that the lows is not as present as the R1280, but its CLEAR, I can actually hear the tonal quality of the kick drums, in that regards its almost monitor like. I also own some Elac and the famous klipsch R15s, when compared side to side the S880s lack the presence of the bigger 5inch speakers, but when using as desktop speakers and nearfield listening, these are just as good.
Nice description! I'm going for the S880, sure they are a superior overall product. I will use tem as near field "monitor" and need something more transparent. Like its size also. Very hard to beat in this price range. Keep this nice Job Man!
The S880DB are really impressing, balanced with good clarity, great for any genre. The R1700BT sound good as well but I prefer the sound signature of the S880DB
Neither of them is bad. S880 is more forward. So it gives a full bodied sound and clarity straight to your ears. 1700 has that oldschool sound profile, warmer tone. It's kinda you're in the same room as the people who played it. Like, in a bar with a live band. This is something i miss from the 80s speakers really. I prefer 1700 over s880. S880 is just the typical clarity you can get in a headphone. Besides, 1700 has fuller range. It distorts a bit, but the imperfection is what makes it sounds "lively". Its just my preference because i like live sounding rather than full bodied.
S880db was set to Monitor mode in this comparison, that's why it sounds lifeless because that's how monitor acts to play as flat as possible. Trust me, I just bought this speaker and received today. When I set the S880db to Dynamic mode, it sounds very similar to R1700BT which is natural and lively. So, S880db wins here for being truly versatile and dynamic.
if you want the 880 with a sub there is the S350db. digital stereophony you should consider the serious sounding S350db (or better still the almost unknown S360db) it si collecting high praises...not a studio monitor but a great quality quite affordable option as a hifi for pc, playstation or TV..really worth your check it out. thanks
@@yongsua1989 The only thing that I'm afraid and doesn't make me pull the trigger on the S880DB is bass, how do you find it? Do they lack too much bass? At the end of the video, with the bass test, the S880DB couldn't reach the same frequencies and just stopped sounding way earlier. Although it should make sense because it has a slightly smaller woofer, on the other hand, it should have a broader frequency not only in the top end bit also in the bass, as it is high res certified. Shouldn't it?
@@jangarcia1338 Hi-Res Certified might only means high sampling rate of an audio source (think of high resolution audio like high resolution video) and it doesn't relate much to frequency response of the sound we listen. The bass is punchy but not rumbling. If you are bass lover, you should opt out S880db. S880db default mode might be too sterile for fun listening, unless you turn on its Dynamic mode then the sound reproduced will be more of V-profile.
This clip convinced me to get the 1700. The s880 sounds like a studio recording. The 1700 like a live performance, a bit of room distortion but a pleasant feeling of space. For mainly classic rock, acoustic and live albums I like the 1700 sound feels more appropriate. I wonder how much closer the 1700 would get to the s880 with the bass turned down a bit, or perhaps a slight source eq adjustment. I like the slightly smaller form factor of the s880, although the colour scheme won’t work for everyone.
I have both, and for pure music listening enjoyment 1700bt is hands down way better. S880DB is deffinately for studio work. Its flat and it doesn`t have any character at all. That does not make it bad. It`s just has different purpose than 1700bt.
I tried the Edifier R1280DBs and the sound was pretty good but really too much bass. I had to turn down the bass -5db and I lightly stuff the bass port. After a week the remote control started to fail so I will return it. I assume the Edifier S880DB will have less bass but will sound better.
Thanks for reviewing two good speakers. To me 1700bt sounds easier. I feel a main difference is in the mid range frequencies, where s880 sounds louder. Contrarily saying, 1700bt sounds wider delivering more feel of reverb.
Great video! Question: USB or OPTICAL for the best sound quality(S880DB)? I have blaster z sound card with optical. If you connect via usb, they use motherboard's audio?
1700BT delivers a warmer sound (probably because of the bass reflex in front) . s8800db is more neutral. consider the difference between them is almost 3x price, 1700BT wins hands down. You can't justify the price on s8800's
Thanks for the video! I decided to get a new sound system and ended up in this question: S880 vs R1700. Luckily i found this channel =) I really like the S880's looks and size more, and I'm sure they both sound amazing The thing is - I really enjoy electronic music, like deep house Is the bass that much of a difference? When you do the testing, how do you adjust the treble and bass knobs? Thanks ;)
As per your opinion which one should I go for ? from listening flac files to gaming and movies. Heart is inclining towards R1700Bt but mind is going towards S880DB. :|
I like more the deeper bass of the 1700s, sounds warmer. The mids and highs are almost the same in two models. Also the 880s are twice the price! I don't think they really worth it. Especially for a mid size room I prefer a little deepness. By the way I own the 1700. Love them.
@@angut8653 soy todo un fan del Rock y las Edifier lo hacen muy bien. Yo no necesito más graves pero si eres basshead tal vez un pequeño subwoofer te convendría.
r1700bt 장점 : 넓은 스테이징과 가격대에 비해서 나쁘지 않은 사운드, 단점 : S880DB에 비해서 가벼운 소리가 나며 떨어지는 사운드 S880DB 장점 : 명료하고 묵직하고 사실적인 사운드 전부다 들리는 대역폭, 단점 : 듣다보면 스테이징이 좁아서 답답한 느낌이 생김
OK, the usual caveats re YT compressed audio aside, I thought the S880DB sounded clearer and closer to what I'd expect real hi-fi speakers to sound like than the R1700BT. As with anything, you dont know until you get them in your room with your own source and music, but I like a lot of what I'm hearing. My playback chain, FWIW, is nothing special - Ubuntu 18 on a cheap Acer laptop into Fiio Q1 MKII DAC + FH1 earphones. Thanks for the vid.
I bought the s880db in 2024, it made me sell my s2000mkiii, the sound of the s880db is much more natural and clear, the s2000mkiii sounds muddy and muffled regardless of audio preset or bass treble settings, it always sound muffled and muddy especially with songs with vocals, even the treble full open doesn't make any difference and the presets don't help either (I don't understand why the s2000mkiii has such good reviews tbh). The vocals on the s880db are so much clearer and natural, I added a subwoofer and it just sounds way better than the s2000mkiii. Also, the audio presets and bass treble knobs on the s880db change the audio much more than on the s2000mkiii, so the sound on the s880db is much more adjustable to your preference. The s2000mkiii only goes louder more easily but loudness is not my priority. I rarely play over bluetooth, if I do it sounds good, the s880db supports aptx bluetooth which allows high quality streaming.
*i just bought the R1700BT for 3 times less the price of S880DB, so i cant really complain of the sound difference for its value for money. To me they sound almost the same anyway*
I use they R1700BT in a classroom setting and the S880DB as my computer speakers at home. Currently the former is RMB500 and the latter is RMB1000 here in China. They both are great sets of speakers for the price.
Цена S880DB больше почти в два раза, чем у актуальной версии R1700BTs, если платить, то по крупному, A80 по лучше в сравнение у Depo196 Нравятся эти два варианта, но выбрал R1700, так как впервые покупаю подобную технику. Если зайдёт, сделаю реставрацию старых советских колонок s90 80х годов.
paired the S880DBs to a sub . Damn it sounds great . Only downside is the S880DBs doesnt have a sub out port . So its rather troublesome to hook a subwoofer together without extra hardware
@@JosephKarthic I connect my speakers to a computer . So I had to get a cheap dac that has optical input , RCA out and also a 3.5mm out (Which I connect the 3.5mm to rca for my subs)
carlos, eu comprei a 1700 porem gostaria de um pouco mais de volume, 20%, voce acha que a s880 me atenderia nesse quesito com relacao a 1700??? obrigado!
@@pierofotografia7292 quando vc diz volume é potência? Se sim apesar de preferir s880db q até tenho aqui em casa acho q talvez seria interessante subir um pouco mais o orçamento pra te atender melhor como n lembro de cabeça vou no site e te aviso qual minha primeira recomendação... mas voltando sim a s880db tem mais potência sim
Tough choice - I guess it depends on the preferred styles of music. Where more instruments were involved (New Orleans Jazz, classic) S880 wins hands down. Boom bap is R1700 speciality :) But for the price that is twice smaller, R1700 is great product.
@@aliaksandrnaidzenka705 Except that there was absolutly no bass, there was some weird noise from the left speaker on some frequency around midbass, was like something interfered the speaker and it was rubbing. I've tried a lot of sound samples, different sound sources, but this noise was there. Funny thing, I changed them on S1000, and they have the same problem :) Not like in 880, but I can hear it on some songs.
i m a little confused about s880db.firstly that looks stunning and these are the best timbre I've ever heard but the narrowness of the stage can be felt even from the sound recording.in additin a lot of people says they give more detaily treble than all edifier speakers
880DB was sound “thin” to me .. R1700BT has more bass .. but still thin … can’t expect better bass and sub-bass with those speakers .. 😅 headache if you have long listening session with those one ..
Answer me, please! What do you think is better for a PC: Edifier S880db VS Edifier E25 Luna Eclipse vs Edifier r1850db vs JBL LSR305 ??? (Sound card S.M.S.L m7) I'm interested in the quality of the sound! What kind of model would you choose for yourself! Thanks !!!
It sounds weird because it was set to Monitor mode. Change it to Dynamic mode and it will sound like V-shape that everybody likes due to its natural sound.
Czytając recenzję mogę zgodzić się jedynie częściowo, ale i to jedynie tylko w odniesieniu do nagrań. Dla mojego ucha R gra nieco bardziej muzycznie i stereofonicznie S brzmi nieco "klinicznie". Słychać to dosyć wyraźnie w utworze klasycznym. Brak sceny dla mnie jest minusem, za to możliwość pominięcia DAC'a i wpięcie S-ki bezpośrednio poprzez USB to spora zaleta. Ciekaw jestem jednak czy elektronika w tych maluchach przerabia pliki DSD.
Both use aluminum cone and similar dust cap, but they are probably completely different, especially that one is 5.5inch in diameter (A200) and the other 3.75inch (S880DB).
@@atle5191 No, s880db is better than the s350db satellite, s350db satellite has a smaller woofer of 25watt and lowest frequency of 160Hz and tweeter 15watt. s880db woofer 32watt 55Hz, tweeter 12watt. I own both sets the s350db satellite sounds unnatural, the s880db is much better.
Biker You know, I noticed that it was easier to find some differences with my speakers than with my headphones, but I refrained to draw conclusion due to insuficient test, knowledge and aspects to analyze. Now, because of you, I am forced to conclude and say: my speakers are shit!!!
I totally agree (when I am use my Logitech S523). For that reason I am right now listening using a FIIO K1 (USB DAC) in combination with a Beyer Dynamic DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm. For my point of perspective it looks to me that this gives a fair view about the speakers tested.
EEEhhhh the S880!! ...dissapointing bass... but at least it has a subwoofer output right? A MONO subwoofer output... definitely not for me. But still better than not having the option of some bass like most small speakers. It's something. EDIT: Doesn't have a sub output I remembered it wrong or was misinformed.
Die Edifier R1700BT haben vorne das Bassreflexrohr und die Edifier S880DB hinten. Die Edifier S880DB müssen nah an der wand stehen für den Tiefbass und normal das die Edifier R1700BT im freien Raum hier mehr Bass abgibt. Der Soundtest den sie hier gemacht haben ist falsch … und die S880DB ist viel besser im Klang wie die R1700BT und kann man gar nicht vergleichen. Die R1700 sind billig Boxen und auch Klanglich viel schlechter wie die S880DB und wenn ich Boxen auf einen Stuhl stelle und so was ist kein Test und die R1700BT ist eine Billigbox und habe die selbst gehabt und spielt wie eine Blechtonne
i have both of the speaker, if u want super clear sound take the s880db but if u want earth shaker speaker take the r1700bt. The s880db is for video editor or music editor because the bass is those bass that u can hear not feel, even max the bass my table not even shake. The r1700bt is for gaming and movie because u can feel the bass

Despite the low end lack of edifier s880db they actually sound better mid range is more realistic and thats what i most appreciate on audio.
Amazing how the smaller S880DB can deliver such a sound. To me it sounds more controlled and almost more tight but still not constrained.
How do you know it's smaller?

*i just bought the R1700BT for 3 times less the price of S880DB, so i cant really complain of the sound difference for its value for money. To me they sound almost the same anyway*
I use they R1700BT in a classroom setting and the S880DB as my computer speakers at home. Currently the former is RMB500 and the latter is RMB1000 here in China. They both are great sets of speakers for the price.
@@PrinceRagus damn your S880DB is so cheap! in my place the difference is still almost 4 times the price when R1700BT is on sales lol
Цена S880DB больше почти в два раза, чем у актуальной версии R1700BTs, если платить, то по крупному, A80 по лучше в сравнение у Depo196
Нравятся эти два варианта, но выбрал R1700, так как впервые покупаю подобную технику. Если зайдёт, сделаю реставрацию старых советских колонок s90 80х годов.
하이앤드걸
Thanks for the review~~~~. Thank you very much!! Digital Stereophony ~!
Easy for me - R1700BT. Warmer as opposed to the smaller, clinical sound of the S880.
paired the S880DBs to a sub . Damn it sounds great . Only downside is the S880DBs doesnt have a sub out port . So its rather troublesome to hook a subwoofer together without extra hardware
How do you do that? What's that extra hardware to connect this speaker with a sub?
An Y-Cable?
@@JosephKarthic I connect my speakers to a computer .
So I had to get a cheap dac that has optical input , RCA out and also a 3.5mm out (Which I connect the 3.5mm to rca for my subs)
@@JosephKarthic Buying an inexpensive subwoofer PreSonus Eris Sub 8BT solves problems connecting any speakers
for the 200 less price tag I can definitely forgive the R17
880 is more defined and that is what matters most to me for desktop speakers
S880db mais rica nos detalhes, R1700BT um pouco mais de grave. No geral prefiro o som da S880db
carlos, eu comprei a 1700 porem gostaria de um pouco mais de volume, 20%, voce acha que a s880 me atenderia nesse quesito com relacao a 1700??? obrigado!
@@pierofotografia7292 quando vc diz volume é potência? Se sim apesar de preferir s880db q até tenho aqui em casa acho q talvez seria interessante subir um pouco mais o orçamento pra te atender melhor como n lembro de cabeça vou no site e te aviso qual minha primeira recomendação... mas voltando sim a s880db tem mais potência sim
Se espaço n for problema recomendo ao menos a R2750DB mas é grande, se for um problema as S880db vão atender um pouco melhor mas nada exagerado
Tough choice - I guess it depends on the preferred styles of music. Where more instruments were involved (New Orleans Jazz, classic) S880 wins hands down. Boom bap is R1700 speciality :) But for the price that is twice smaller, R1700 is great product.
for me s880db on jazz sound distorted..
Bought S880 today, going to return them back tomorrow. So disappointing
@@aliaksandrnaidzenka705 Except that there was absolutly no bass, there was some weird noise from the left speaker on some frequency around midbass, was like something interfered the speaker and it was rubbing. I've tried a lot of sound samples, different sound sources, but this noise was there.
Funny thing, I changed them on S1000, and they have the same problem :) Not like in 880, but I can hear it on some songs.
very helpful video
I listen to a lot of heavy metal and rock. Any suggestions which one I should go for? Need it for my bedroom.
same with me any suggestion right now?
Love my 1700
How does the bass compare to the R1280T?
i m a little confused about s880db.firstly that looks stunning and these are the best timbre I've ever heard but the narrowness of the stage can be felt even from the sound recording.in additin a lot of people says they give more detaily treble than all edifier speakers
Deffinately the S880DB ..is the winner
S880DB wins (clarity due to better cone material perhaps?).
Better drivers, higher quality electronics (DSPs and amps), sturdier cabinets are the main reasons for higher clarity
@@DSAUDIOreview I listen to a lot of rock and metal. Please suggest which one I should go for. Please.
880DB was sound “thin” to me .. R1700BT has more bass .. but still thin … can’t expect better bass and sub-bass with those speakers .. 😅 headache if you have long listening session with those one ..
Conclusion for Edifier R1700BT :-
Boomy bass sticks out a lot
Slightly thin treble
Controls need a better finish
Frankly for me, i barely notice that speakers changed! Very little difference i think
depends on what equipment you are listening to. I listened them on a pair of cheap 5$ headphones and then on Sony and the difference is very clear.
Answer me, please! What do you think is better for a PC: Edifier S880db VS Edifier E25 Luna Eclipse vs Edifier r1850db vs JBL LSR305 ??? (Sound card S.M.S.L m7) I'm interested in the quality of the sound! What kind of model would you choose for yourself! Thanks !!!
Out of these I would choose JBL. My second choice would be S880DB
Hi, the S880 have sub dedicated out? Sound like need s9me extra low freq.
I see new model, R1700BTs, this have sub out but not have optical :(
Get the 1850 or even better, 1855 that has BT 5.0. The only thing the 1700BTs has that the 1850 or 1855 dont is Hi Res Audio.
the s880 seems to have a more dynamic ranger, the r1700 is warmer and bassier. s880 wins in my book.
Edifier D12 vs R1700 Pleas!
S880 flat naturel sound.
it not natural
S880DB sound weird. It sound like a 2.1 system with big satellite speakers without the subwoofer.
You mean like the satelitespeakers of the S350DB 2.1, perhaps? :D
It sounds weird because it was set to Monitor mode. Change it to Dynamic mode and it will sound like V-shape that everybody likes due to its natural sound.
R1700BT good
R1700BT
Czytając recenzję mogę zgodzić się jedynie częściowo, ale i to jedynie tylko w odniesieniu do nagrań. Dla mojego ucha R gra nieco bardziej muzycznie i stereofonicznie S brzmi nieco "klinicznie". Słychać to dosyć wyraźnie w utworze klasycznym. Brak sceny dla mnie jest minusem, za to możliwość pominięcia DAC'a i wpięcie S-ki bezpośrednio poprzez USB to spora zaleta. Ciekaw jestem jednak czy elektronika w tych maluchach przerabia pliki DSD.
Edifier R1700BT vs Edifier s1000mk pls
Can see r1700 stood out in the boom bang music at the end otherwise s880 wins most with a more realistic mids
The woofer of s880db is the same of airpulse a200?
Both use aluminum cone and similar dust cap, but they are probably completely different, especially that one is 5.5inch in diameter (A200) and the other 3.75inch (S880DB).
Is it the same as my S350DB satellite? Please
@@atle5191 No, s880db is better than the s350db satellite, s350db satellite has a smaller woofer of 25watt and lowest frequency of 160Hz and tweeter 15watt. s880db woofer 32watt 55Hz, tweeter 12watt. I own both sets the s350db satellite sounds unnatural, the s880db is much better.
i found funny thing about your comparison, its more easier to tell that which one is better when listening from shit speaker!
LOL
Interesing ;)
Biker You know, I noticed that it was easier to find some differences with my speakers than with my headphones, but I refrained to draw conclusion due to insuficient test, knowledge and aspects to analyze.
Now, because of you, I am forced to conclude and say: my speakers are shit!!!
hahahahaha
I totally agree (when I am use my Logitech S523). For that reason I am right now listening using a FIIO K1 (USB DAC) in combination with a Beyer Dynamic DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm. For my point of perspective it looks to me that this gives a fair view about the speakers tested.
The bass of the r1700bt is totally uncontrolled. What a pity, it could be a very good speaker with the correct amount of bass.
or without bass, like s880.
EEEhhhh the S880!! ...dissapointing bass... but at least it has a subwoofer output right? A MONO subwoofer output... definitely not for me.
But still better than not having the option of some bass like most small speakers. It's something.
EDIT: Doesn't have a sub output I remembered it wrong or was misinformed.
S880DB does not have sub output. What You see on the back plate of S880DB is coaxial digital input.
It's true! I was almost sure they had, enough not to check (which I thought about doing)...Well, now they really are useless.
if you want the 880 with a sub there is the S350db.
S880DB is all about clarity and mid range performance, it's not meant for crappy bass heavy music like hip hop, dubstep etc...
1700bt
ALMOST THE SAME QUALITY OF SOUND... I PREFER THE R1700BT || for the price...
1700 the best
no bass on the 880
Die Edifier R1700BT haben vorne das Bassreflexrohr und die Edifier S880DB hinten. Die Edifier S880DB müssen nah an der wand stehen für den Tiefbass und normal das die Edifier R1700BT im freien Raum hier mehr Bass abgibt. Der Soundtest den sie hier gemacht haben ist falsch … und die S880DB ist viel besser im Klang wie die R1700BT und kann man gar nicht vergleichen. Die R1700 sind billig Boxen und auch Klanglich viel schlechter wie die S880DB und wenn ich Boxen auf einen Stuhl stelle und so was ist kein Test und die R1700BT ist eine Billigbox und habe die selbst gehabt und spielt wie eine Blechtonne
i have both of the speaker, if u want super clear sound take the s880db but if u want earth shaker speaker take the r1700bt. The s880db is for video editor or music editor because the bass is those bass that u can hear not feel, even max the bass my table not even shake. The r1700bt is for gaming and movie because u can feel the bass
I listen to a lot of metal and rock. Can you suggest which one I should go for?
@@raghavnagpal9524 Take the r1700bt for mid and low, for s880db more toward high and mid
@@zaren88 So which is better for metal or rock music. Anyway is it true that s880 sounds like r1700bt when set to dynamic Equalizer?
@@raghavnagpal9524 no and take the r1700bt
@@raghavnagpal9524 both have difference sound stage s880 is more toward live or orchestra music bcos have higher high note
AirPulse A100 are way better than these 2 awesome speakers.

Ye, they are also triple the price 🤣
driver is just too small....

For me they sounds the same.
I am a casual music listener. But I knew one thing. china speaker never been good. china phone is good, earphone is good, but speaker is like karaoke
