Really good speakers. I’ve seen some comments with people saying they look gaudy but I don’t agree. Edifier make a lot of wooden classic style speakers so this is just a different look for them. Works well. Drivers seem good as I’d expect.
I used Edifier bookshelf speakers as part of my turntable setup before upgrading that entire system. I now use them as my desktop speakers for my PC. They've always sounded incredible and I feel I appreciate them even more now that they are part of my PC setup.
Edifier have great products for reasonable price. I recently got a deal on S1000 MK II bookshelf speakers for 210 USD. It was a huge upgrade from the R1280T i had for a while. Can't even compare the too, it sounds amazing.
Great review, fella. I've been considering getting these and they're now discounted on Amazon. Also, nice to hear a Brummy accent as I'm a Brummy myself, but I currently live overseas. Planning on building a PC next year, so I've subscribed to your channel. I'll definitely check out your videos for recommendations.
great review. I didnt think the white would contrast so well with a black or mostly dark setup. Now I dont know which color to get lol. My setup is mostly dark or black like yours.
A2 is $100 cheaper and a couple inches smaller. Maybe a little better for a more space conscious setup? Woofers are the same size, but tweeters are smaller at .75" vs 1.25" and 10w less total power. Wonder how this impacts overall sound quality.
Edifier is coming a long way and I remember the first speakers I had for my PC was one of theirs. Man, they were crappy Chinese piece of plastic but looked so cool.
Maybe using diamond coating can make the high frequency sound more pleasant, but when you noted it can achieve 99% of this sound quality in 1/10 or even 1/100 of the price. Is it worth it.
Using the S350db for few years now. Still impressive how good the sound is. Paired with the Creative G6 and the accurate Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro for late night. I’m more into accurate sound than raw distorted power like the plasticky Logitech and similars.
These guys do really good products - great review of these too, liked the sound tests - I know they dont seem to make a lot of sense, but I do get a rough idea of the sound through my sennheiser headphones.
Thanks. It's always a bit tough showcasing how audio products perform due to UA-cam compression and people listening/watching on a variety of devices etc
I just bought these, they look and sound great but it seems like the bottom driver is doing all the work and the top speaker doesn't do anything? I don't feel it moving at all. Anyone else seeing this or does the top driver just not do too much?
Top driver doesn’t really handle the bass frequencies which causes the bottom one to vibrate at higher volumes. How does it sound to you ? Vocals clear ?
@@KitGuruTech Right I get you, only recently started looking at upgrading my sound system hence this purchase and the stupid question. Yeah vocal's are clear. Playing games with them sound great. Overall really happy with them!
After trying G2000 and falling in lovr with edifier sound (music eq) ive started day dreaming about this, only things its missing is optical connection for true 24bit / 96khz more tjen 1/2mb transfer rate once Ldac is outaded and replaced by a newer codec that can handle true High res without capping it at 990 kbps like ldac does. I cant stop dreaming about this speaker only thing im worried about is the bass / if its punchy as it doesnnt have dynamic or music preset and im not sure of monitor and classic eq will suffice for edm/trance music but low volume usage sounds ideal fo4 late night use. Amaizing review
Thanks! They're still sitting on my desk and I've been using them constantly since they arrived and since the review and I've found the bass to be 'enough' - It's nothing ground shaking but it gets the job done and is enough for my day to day use. - Mat
Thank you Matt - would love to know how they compare up againts G2000 since you also reviewed those a while back - better bass / more punchier bass even at low/moderate volumes compared to g2000?
Im still using my old bose soundlink v2 but shes dying on me :c looking to grab new speakers for my computer and man its so hard since most cost a fortune and some people suggest a soundbar and some people say soundbars are terrible. Some say get speakers but then they list all this equipment you need for speakers to sound good and it gets confusing. For metal/bass heavy edm music(hardstyle etc) i think the bose sounds good but i have nothing to compare it to, if you happen to know, are these better? And if they need a subwoofer for proper bass instead how much extra cost does that add. Final question, the wattage for sound, is that how much power it uses to run? Upgrading my office and debating if i need to add a 2nd circuit
No offense, but you are about 15 yrs behind today's tech...I suggest you start reading and comparing. It will take awhile but that is how you become knowlegeable.
@@sportsr2-ds1xb done all of that since, have both a hi-fi headphone setup and a whole room speaker setup, required rewiring the room and adding soundproofing to the insulation.
as an ex-producer of music for an electronic psy trance / hard house label these are of particular interest. I'd love to know how they are for this use case although I have to say I am not a fan of lighting used in speakers as I'd rather have the focus put on the sound quality
The price makes no sense for desktop PC speakers. Sure, you can buy quality studio grade monitors. So get some? But in most cases you need just "good enough". Not flawless. 15 or so years ago I randomly bought a few budget PC speakers looking for something usable. And eventually by pure accident I got AG Neovo ones for less than 30EUR which happened to be surprisingly good for the price. Close to "JBL quality" in that market. They are a bit sensitive to human capacity, get easily excited, but as long as your hands are 20+cm from them they are fine. And the price? Still using them. RGB, wtf...
@@BarbuMateescu back then JBL was around 100EUR. While serving roughly the same market. So I put them in the same category there, right? And I struggle to recall a moment in time when Edifier has been premium in audio. It has been in the market for 20+ years. And more like cheap entry wood desktop speakers. There's certain group of fans that consider speakers must be those wooden boxes. I get the vibe. But there certainly are other ways and it's a lot more about quality parts and materials. Maybe they have grown. But this is certainly not B&W or audiophile level. I'm not questioning it being decent. I'm questioning whether 10x the price is also in the quality jump. Most gamers need "good enough" for PC. TV oriented soundbars are a decent option too and you probably already have some in your house next to TV. Also, music is complicated. There are types of tweeters, that are stunning for string reproduction, like guitar. While some other will shine in other tasks. Some prefer clear articulated basses, while others scream for those reverbing old school party boxes that resonate with it. So much for compliments.
The sound quality at this price point is ridiculous. It feels like 70% of the cost went into LED lights. Edifier is trying to convince us through bloggers that design is more important than sound quality.
Honestly... the sounds really sucks.. bought them then I sold them immediately.. love the lights effects though... but it's big no for me. for those who wants to buy these speakers... you must buy and pair them with the Edifier T5 powered subwoofer to make the sounds good.
Most of them are forced UA-cam ads. I saw 3 but I pay for premium. I like the ads here. All relevant and short. Not a 90 ad for NordVPN or some other crap.
over priced, just get something proper like m-audio bx8d3 and the cheapest audio interface and balanced cables which will be just a tiny bit more than these 330£ tiny speakers.
Sorry about all this targeted spam, its a constant battle - please report all you see. Let us know if you like the speakers !
You would think UA-cam would have A.I. automatically handling all this...maybe they're the ones doing it lol
For me, $500 + Shipping and Taxes... No Thanks My Old Mirage Speakers And Sub are just fine
Edifer are briliant. had my speakers for years now, and leave them on 24/7, still work perfectly. *goes to check they are still working now
Bet they are broken now you
Said all that 😀

Which speakers ?
Which ones I want to know now you find them

I used to think this company was hyped a bit but they are quality speakers. Not the cheapest but good quality.
Still using my Edifier S300D for last 12 years on my Audiotrak Prodigy Cube dac. Also using R1280DB on my TV to watch movies with.
These guys have some nice speaker designs really like these.

LOVE THIS. Best speaker ive owned to date
Is it this the best speaker? How's the bass like? I'm still deciding whether to get this or the mr4
How have they been
Quality speakers. Had mine for years.
They seem to score well on Amazon reviews too.
Awesome review! You guys do the best review 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks so much!
you guys are the best review channel. Love your reviews
Thanks! We're glad you enjoy them!
Really like that 3d effect. Very cool
It’s pretty cool
great review. I didnt think the white would contrast so well with a black or mostly dark setup. Now I dont know which color to get lol. My setup is mostly dark or black like yours.
great video Mat!
Thanks
What about edifier qr65 vs Harman Kardon Soundsticks 4.
Whos the winner?
wonder how these compare to trhe audioengine A2+. I've had my eye on those for a while...
A2 is $100 cheaper and a couple inches smaller. Maybe a little better for a more space conscious setup? Woofers are the same size, but tweeters are smaller at .75" vs 1.25" and 10w less total power. Wonder how this impacts overall sound quality.
Edifier is coming a long way and I remember the first speakers I had for my PC was one of theirs. Man, they were crappy Chinese piece of plastic but looked so cool.
Would you recommend the qr65 or s880db for turntable setup
You are testing sound quality with spotify?
Maybe using diamond coating can make the high frequency sound more pleasant, but when you noted it can achieve 99% of this sound quality in 1/10 or even 1/100 of the price. Is it worth it.
Really good quality products. They have good support on Amazon too
Does anybody know if these qr65 have longer connector cord the damn cord too damn short
Using the S350db for few years now. Still impressive how good the sound is. Paired with the Creative G6 and the accurate Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro for late night. I’m more into accurate sound than raw distorted power like the plasticky Logitech and similars.
Yeah my brother has them too, really impressed with the sound too. agree on the plasticky logitech stuff too
Good speakers. I moved from Logitech.
If you want powered speakers, you really can't go wrong with Edifier.
great video any idea why in my connect app I don't have the option for the "HD audio codec" ?
same as mine. maybe they have already updated the app and turned everything on by default?

Do you like these better then the edifier g5000?
Hard to tell what they sound like are there any shops that sell them?
I just bought these, they look and sound great but it seems like the bottom driver is doing all the work and the top speaker doesn't do anything? I don't feel it moving at all. Anyone else seeing this or does the top driver just not do too much?

if we talk about pure sound quality, I am dubiously wondering how these would compete against iloud micros which are lot cheaper.
I can't choose about s1000w and qr65. in your opinion what is better?
Go with ldac ones. And they look spectacular.
Edifier s3000 pro..
Compare them against the Audioengine or Kanto.
really good speakers and not too expensive from Edifier
Good quality speakers really make a difference to a gaming system.
what is that stand behind your monitor with speaker shelvess etc
It's part of the Corsair Platform 6 desk
tempo abyss technology, someone in ASIA had a ball coming up with that one !
😵💫
Commonly known as "infinity mirror".
Great review! Would you please review Harman Kardon products too?
we will try and get some in !

What is that device on the desk next to the stream deck with the display?
It's a Wigidash from Gskill. Review coming soon 👍🏻
Hmm. At this pricepoint a digital input (Coax or SPDIF) is missing. Only analog Line-in, Wireless and USB? RGB on a speaker? Thanks for the review.
Rgb on everything now !
MR4 are great for their price, but these are in another league, thus three times the price for these.
Does anyone know how these will compare to my Logitech G560? Will the sound be an upgrade? Thanks for any answers.
that's what I want to know cause that's what I have right now but I'm looking to get this
@ I don’t think I’ll get these now, I don’t think I can hook them up to my PS5 and PC at the same time.
as an ex-producer of music for an electronic psy trance / hard house label these are of particular interest. I'd love to know how they are for this use case although I have to say I am not a fan of lighting used in speakers as I'd rather have the focus put on the sound quality
anybody knows what sub can pair with these
Qd
I use two speakers studio and focus rite Scarlett mixer. But cause I do music 😂.
Edifier speakers looks beautiful.
Wish thy make good 5.1 pc speakers systeem. Are not many any more :(
I love my old edifier r2000db
Can these be paired with another pair to create 4.0 surround?
Look for Edifier S760DB, if you liked your R2000DB.
Wish these were smaller, at 21cm on my desk feels huge.
Great brand I'm sure these speakers are great.
Looks nice but I doubt these sound $300 better than the Edifier G2000. Especially in a near field environment.
Ninja Pro gaming chair, whatever next. On topic, nice speakers and as it happens I'm looking and have been for a month.
£329.99 - not cheap but clearly doing a good job. which I would expect from Edifier now to be perfectly honest.
Interesting!
Glad you think so!
Bit over the top gamey for me but I dont think I'm their target audience. I prefer speakers with a bit of fake or real wood finish on the sides.
Yeah but this lets you show off an ultimate gaming setup. Think these are the finishing touch.
They should've launched them on the other owned brand, Hecate; would fit right into the lineup.
These look fantastic but they are very expensive for what are still effective just pc speakers. Not monitors.
Wow❤
it would be so much cheaper without the useless GaN charger port!

Not really. They perform well at low volumes too.
@@KitGuruTech Thats the point - you don`t need big speakers when you utilize 20% of their volume at max.
@@jamesjessenden7838 You can get G2000 Edifier which are cheaper. smaller. sound great, and you`ll utilize about 50% of their volume.
that join in the material is unbearable
It’s not wonderful

lol 😜
Bit pricey.
If Liberace was alive today, he'd have these speakers. They look gawdy AF.
Who the heck is Liberace ? 🤣
Thanks. Now I don't want the Edifier.
What you going to get instead ?
