The Powered Edifier S880DB Desktop Audiophile Speakers Reviewed!

- There are lots of speakers you can plug into your computer or laptop, but almost all of them sound like they were off the budget or clearance shelf at Walmart. That's why the Edifier S800DB are such a breath of fresh air with their huge, breathtaking sound and vast array of inputs. You can use them with your TV through an optical connection, for example, and connect your phone via bluetooth too.
Tech expert Dave Taylor of www.AskDaveTaylor.com/ plugs the Edifier speakers into his computer and finds they deliver great sound. But there are some quirks with the design...

Best speaker review ever seen, clean and easy understanding, thank you!
Chinese based company? I don't support Dictatorships if I can help it.
great review with technical talks and listing the pros and cons!
Just bought them for my mac, can't wait!
Did the Edifier S880DB live up to your expectations?
i just order those.thx for the review.i will give results asap:)
im enjoying my Edifier r1850db very happy with my purchase
Hi Dave! Nice review! Those speakers look good for small spaces.
I use speakers with my pc. I can't live without speakers. I only use headphones when is late and i can't do to much noise :)!
I like them a lot the S880db, but I have muscular dystrophy, I am unable to raise my arms or use the remote control, and the volume dial seems digital, it makes me wonder if I need to turn it on every time I want to use them. The speakers I currently use, I keep them on with the analog dial and control the volume with windows10 and turn them off directly with the UPS to cut off their power, so I don't need to touch the dial again to turn the speakers on again. I don't need them to be on while I sleep. Could I do the same with the Edifier s880db? they reset the volume when the power goes out :( sadly i need an analog switch.
Very nice review! You seem just as amazed by these speakers as I am. :) I own 2 sets of these speakers they are great, bought both of them used. I use one set in the living room with a small subwoofer and one on my desk. The vocals in songs are so nice and clear on these speakers, a lot better than the Edifier s2000mkiii on which the vocals sound muffled and muddy regardless of the setting!! The tweeter of the s2000mkiii has slightly more detail but it's barely noticeable and the s880db makes up for that with clear natural vocals and clear 3d sound, even the vocals on the s3000pro sounds less natural and more mechanical/metallic to my ears (I sold both the s2000mkiii and s3000pro and kept the s880db call me crazy lol). Of course the s880db doesn't have that much bass because they are small speakers, that's why I added a small subwoofer the Edifier T5 to the set in my living room so the total sound is more room filling. They are a joy to listen to!
Thanks I just ordered. I got last one in stock from a local supplier here in Bangkok Thailand for only 227USD including tax and delivery to my door. Pretty great deal.
Got me convinced, I'm going to buy these, will help with the self isolation.... Thank you Dave, fair and balanced review. You have a superb radio voice. Just subscribed to your channel.
Thanks. Let us know how you like the speakers once they arrive and you get them set up!
Correct!!! Dave always gives me right n convincing explanation about the product. Actually I am trying to find suitable speaker for my PC, and, bingo!!!, Dave comes with Edifier S880!!😅😂….coolllll🎉🎉🎉🎉
Very informative review-- Thanks. Love from Bangladesh
Your video helped me to make u my mind. Finally bought them even though over my budget on today's amazon big sale. Will get them by Monday. Fingers crossed.
Let us know how they work out for you!
Как Вы довольны? Рекомендуется к покупке? Спасибо
will the source go away after a few seconds on the speaker display, pc Bluetooth etc? i hate lights when watching content thats all
i)I have an MR4( which is already excellent for it's price), if only cinsidering sound quality, could you advise if s880 is a substantial upgrade?
Great job reviewing these puppies! The problem is I suspect you could sell freezers in Alaska in winter! Thanks a lot (I just ordered them for my Macbook)...
great review!
Thanks!
Good review. A couple of things though, you can change the source by pressing the volume button at the back! Also, isn't it better to use the USB-in to connect your laptop? I would assume that the built in DAC is better than the ones in most laptops.
Good clarifications. And yes, if the device is supported (not all are) then an external DAC / Amp connected via USB is going to give you better results.
With bluetooth can you control volume with smartphone?
very good review
Thanks!
How do these compare to the Edifier Luna Eclipse e25HD? I've got the Eclipse on my pc desk and they're "pretty good" (disappointed in the bass) but I now upgraded to a DAC/AMP and looking to upgrade my sound to high res. Would it be a worthwhile jump up in quality?
Unfamiliar with the Edifier Luna Eclipse, so I can't answer that. Perhaps someone else can chime in?
Thanks for the video. I will need the remote every time i want to turn the speakers on?
Most likely u do. This is not HDMI device
Hi Dave, your video always be entertaining but still can gives us product knowledge n experiences!!! Thanks Dave!!!
Btw, I m not aware whether you have reviewed soundbar HK Citation Multibeam 1100. If not yet, it would be great if you wouldn’t mind rewiewing it.
Thanks so much Dave!!!!
Thanks for the kudos! Don't think I've reviewed anything from HK, I'll have to research 'em.
how are they for gaming ? :)
Does S880DB have good bass? I have Edifier R2850DB, but they are too big for desktop use. I will use them as TV speakers.
I would definitely say yes, they have terrific sound reproduction. Good luck with 'em!
Have you compared with 1700bt? Would love your input.. i listened to a sound test on youtube the 1700bt sounded warmer bass... but nothing compares to a real test
Right, you can't really audition speakers through UA-cam videos, however amazing their microphones may be. Makes it tough to use as a key comparison tool, but there are so many variables at play, least of all original music source played on speakers, microphone used to record the output, editing of that recorded audio, compression by UA-cam, and then quality of your playback speakers too...
@@AskDaveTaylor well anyways. I just ordered the S880DB after your review. I hope I get as excited as you are with these 😄
Good luck. Let me know how they sound once you get them all hooked up!
@@safesurfing9486 Привет! Как Вы довольны этой покупкой? Можете ли рекомендовать дальше? Спасибо
my tv doesnt have that line out analog connections only hdmi and optical... i want to use this but i dont want to use bluetooth as its lossy .. but i need CEC volume control. Any solutions u can recommend?
I suggest you touch base with the Edifier customer service team to ask what they recommend and whether an adapter might do the trick. Surprised you don't have an audio out or headphone jack on the TV, though!
@@AskDaveTaylor there is headphone jack.but Not that connections colored red yellow and white. I was told that using the headphone jack for speakers is not a good thing. Btw I think new tvs released after 2019 do not have these analog connections. They are surely doing away with these in favor of HDMI and Bluetooth and wifi enabled audio
There's no reason that using a headphone jack for speakers would be bad, I can't imagine who suggested that. The biggest issue would be that it might not get loud enough, but if you have powered speakers they're going to have their own volume control. Try it!
@@AskDaveTaylor powered speakers like edifiers can be used with headphone out Jack? How will be the sound clarity?
s880db vs s360db?
Can we use a dac and preamp to make the sound much better?
Ostensibly, but how do you know that you need to "make the sound much better" if you haven't auditioned them yet? 🙂
@@AskDaveTaylor just bought it 2weeks later, after watching this and no regrets coz its sound amazing for its size, just wonder if you have in mind that is as well and budget friendly as this, to match with this speakers such as preamp and a dac to make it sound more beefy and forward?
Big thanks
You said we can't change input if we lost the remote. I think you can change the input (as I know for some speakers) by pressing the volume knob. It says "volume/input selection" if I'm not mistaken. Thanks for reviewing this speaker. Planning to buy them.
Ah, good to know. I had to send 'em back pretty quickly so I no longer have them in the office to test out the input options. Still, don't lose the remote. :-)
You can switch input yes, but changing modes i.e: dynamic, classic, vocal, monitor is dependent upon having the functioning remote.
USB or optical which one provides the best quality
Depending on source and your hearing, optical certainly transmits more information so is recommended if you have both available.
How do they compare to Edifier S350DB?
thats what i was thinking as the 350db comes with a sub and apparently the use the same drivers
Can you connect a sub?
No you cannot, as far as I know. Double check with Edifier to be completely sure.
Me enjoy his voice and dont understand what he say at all
Edifier s350db has probably the same small speakers, but it has also big subwoofer, and all for the same price as s880db, and i think s350db sounds much much better
Good to hear your experience with both, thanks for sharing. Smart buyers get as much data as possible!
s350db is more for movies & gaming. There's no such thing that it's better with music at least in my opinion. 8 inch subwoofer is overkill for music unless you're bass head. You definitely need smaller woofers for more tighter and accurate bass. Ground-shaking & deep rumbling bass is big no no for music.
Thanks for this comment. I was about to ask which is better between the two. I listen to different genres and I also love to dance... alone 😂 so I'll probably get the S350DB.
If I am not wrong, edifiers only have woofers not subwoofers
They are not the same, the small speakers from the s350db only go to 160Hz (the woofer goes from 40Hz-160Hz), the s880db goes to 55Hz.
In the digital audiophile world, your statement that high bitrate audio is analogous to higher pixel rate for video is a well-rejected mistake.
How is this a review ? He is literally selling these speakers like a second hand car salesman !
Says a guy named "Beavis". Lol.
