    Picked these up last Black Friday - they're normally $450 here in the States, but they were discounted to $300. Having now listened to them for four months - frankly, they would have been a bargain without the discount; I almost feel guilty about the price I paid. They're far better than I expected sound-wise, and the wealth of connection options is fantastic. I'm primarily listening to them hooked up to a venerable Squeezebox network system, but I've also used Bluetooth and AirPlay; Bluetooth does introduce a slight bit of delay that's absent from a WiFi connection, and I *think* the sound's slightly worse because of the Bluetooth compression, but that may just be my brain playing tricks on me.
    I mainly listen to jazz and classical, and I'm a cellist so I have a good idea what a lot of the music I listen to is supposed to sound like live; much of it is pieces I've played myself, or heard in performance. The S1000Ws are remarkably accurate for their size, and that's exactly what I want from a speaker - just get as close to the recording as possible, with no additional coloration.

      Hi, can you tell what codec is used on bluetooth connection? Edifier doesnt says anything about aptx/aptxhd and all review I see also dont mention this detail. Thank you.

    • @EvanTreempire
      @EvanTreempire 7 місяців тому +1

      I'm not sure how to get that information, and I mostly use a wired connection or WiFi (AirPlay). The manual says "To enjoy all Bluetooth functions of this product, please ensure your audio source device has A2DP and AVRCP profiles", if that helps.

      @@EvanTreempire if you use android based on qualcomm from 2016 or more recent, connect vía bluetooth, then you can go to connection sentting (press gear) and see options you can enable/disable. There you can see something like "HD Audio: aptX" or "HD Audio: aptX HD".
      A2DP is a basic profile provides only sbc codec (optimized for stability), same uses my actual R1280DB, and it doesn't work well.
      Maybe they only left this basic codec in favor of wifi, but its a bit strange positioning of product.
      Also im curious if the system can be used over wifi but using another apps, I don't like online services and have my own server and music library.

    The bass comes across really well on the HiFiMan Deva Pro 'phones I use with my PC. I generally choose ASUS mobos for the Supreme FX Audio. My turntable seems to have died and my monitors need supplementing with some with 21st century inputs. These look like they fit the bill so I'll be having a mooch for somewhere I can listen to what they sound like in the flesh; I KNOW it will be better but they sound good enough to go out of my way to listen to and buy a pair. That set-up you've got looks the business by the way.
    PS: Those Edifier WH950NBs' mikes unprocessed sounded like you were in a 'bin! I'm still going to pick up a pair though and a couple as pressies for folk I know will appreciate them. 13 out of 10 for both reviews.

    The audio test via my setup sounded quite muddy. I’m only comparing with your lav mic. Did you run them flat or lowered from zero on bass and treble dials ?

    • @matmynett7220
      @matmynett7220 Рік тому

      Dials were at 0/12 o'clock for both bass and treble. The samples were recorded with a different mic (Elgato Wave DX) and UA-cam will have compressed/processed the audio so that may be a factor too.

    I know those from the LearnLinuxTV UA-camr, he bought such a model to check the audio of his videos and he takes sound seriously, he uses a proper microphone. Definitely something that I could consider if I can buy those easily but only a wired model, not as good as my headphone (HiFiman XS) but sometimes you want to listen with loose speakers.

    Hi there, I have a question. With the S1000W speakers, if you have your turntable hooked up to your speakers, do u experience a sound drop for about a split half a second about a minute or 2 into the record. The reason I ask is because I experience that. I will start ti play a record at the beginning of the side and about a minute or 2 into the song , the sound drops. Please let me know if this happens to you. Thank u.

    • @matmynett7220

      both set to 0 so they shouldn't have affected the sound. It may be due to UA-cam compressing/processing the audio.

    Bit big for a PC. Not a fan of the wood to be honest. Sound is probably great though. I have a set of iLoud Micro monitors for my gaming rig. They're small and sound amazing. I wouldn't swap them for anything. However, I'm looking for a pair of speakers for my TV and think these might have a wider soundstage.
