I have both of these speakers. I use the r1700bt for my computer and the r2000db for my TV. Both suit the purpose I use them for. The r1700bt is more personal close up. It lacks deep bass, but is can have strong bass when you turn up the dial. The r2000db is replacing a 5.1 home theatre in a box, and these Edifiers have such sound stage that are better then the Samsung 5.1 system. the R2000DB really thumps with the bass when the dial is turned up to the point I don't miss a subwoofer. They have rich, crystal clear sound that I haven't heard in a long time. I don't regret buying any of these and they are fantastic. You cannot go wrong with Edifier.
Hi, I'd like to hear your opinion on my concern. Do you think the R2000db can replace a cheap-mid level home theater system (let's say for the same price)?
@@zeep6195 What you get with the R2000db with full rich sound that's well balanced with some tweaking options. They are very enjoyable for watching movies and tv shows and doubles up for listening to music via bluetooth. You won't get fancy features like Dolby Atmos or 5.1/7.1 channels, but I usually find that those things are just gimmicks and come at the expense of sound quality (except when it comes to expensive home theatre systems). I don't think you would ever find a home theatre system that sounds as good for the same price.
Can you please suggest how will be 1700BT for OTT movies & series, and music. It will be used with MacBook Air M1. Room size 14*14 feet Also if you know about 1700BTS Thank you!
I have both R1700BT and 2000DB. Both placed in different rooms though. I felt the soundstage of R1700BT to be better than 2000DB. R1700BT is more open and airy and its soundstage is very wide. But it lacs the punch that R2000DB produces. R2000DB goes lower and the rumbles of base can be felt on your body. Both are excellent speakers. However, the signatures are completely different.
I very much appreciate these videos- they are very helpful. I would have liked to hear a track with vocals though. The sound quality and clarity of the vocals is one of the most important factors influencing my decision as to which speaker to purchase.
Thanks so much for this. So few clips of speakers playing decent instrumental music to help judge the quality of speakers. Instead just bass heavy techno and rap.
Great video. However could I suggest you have a piece of music to demo vocals. Especially female as it would give a little idea of the speakers mid tonal range.
Wow, quite a big difference with the 2000 coming out on top by a long shot. 1700 is still really good for such a low price though, amazing how affordable quality speakers are nowadays.
@@JayNL Can you please suggest how will be 1700BT for OTT movies & series, and music. It will be used with MacBook Air M1. Room size 14*14 feet How do you compare 1700BT & 1280DB for my intended use. Thank you!
Well to my ear the R1700BT sounds like flat and neutral than R2000DB. R2000DB looks like a darker speaker but with fuller sound and has more resonance. Do not know if I use the correct words here lol. Thanks for the comparison. Will purchase a pair of R1700BT in the next couple of weeks.
I'm with you, it depends on the ears that are hearing. I like so much more the flat neutral sound for the R1700BT, for a desktop is best ideal maybe complemented with a subwoofer.
@@carlosfedericolopezspindol3103 Ha ha. I did purchased Edifier R1700BT and a Sennheiser HD650. To my ears now HD650 blows away R1700BT. I found out that these speakers are a little harsh, bright so I turned the high volume knot down a bit. Also these speakers has soundstage but it lacks a soul, deep, full sound. It's okey for a budget 2.0 desktop speakers for my computer.
@@midorihibiki I agree that the treble of headphones can be better. So is the bass of headphones stronger than this 4-inch speaker? Or is it just an improvement in bass quality, not stronger?
@@张嘉炜 Here is my experience. The bass on these Edifier models does have strong bass. But the texture of the bass, or it can not go lower deeper. The bass on my HD650 has more texture, can boomer if the record or the amp drive it. If you want more quality bass, look for the higher Edifier models. Some high end headphones can produce strong bass as and as quality as big speakers for example like Abyss 1266-Audezee LCD-4 or Sony MDR-Z1r.
What you get for more money (R2000DB): - Larger tweeter and mid-range driver - Alloy mid-range driver instead of paper - Ability to switch them on and off from the remote - More power (almost double the watts) - Design (although I'm not a fan of glossy things that can scratch) The R1700DB are not available in my country at the moment but I'll get R2000DB and decide if they're worth it *Update* Got the R2000DB. They look nice. The sound on the other hand seems a bit harsh and the bass boomy (even in classic mode). I don't know how much the bass will improve but the harshness could be because they need breaking in. The bass reflex port is located on the back which is a bit inconvenient since I have them on a desk. May get the R1700BT once they become available.
Thanks for the follow up! If You find R2000DB harsh than R1700BT is even harsher in default settings. Check the controls on the back of R2000DB if treble is not boosted. My pair of R2000DB came completely fresh as well and I found them rather dull sounding out of the box...
David Lorenz get a 3.5 splitter and get a stereo to mono and use that to connect to a sub . Connect edifier to the available 3.5 done , that's what I use
I just gotten the R2000DB for 3 weeks now for near field use. For the first few days i was kinda disappointed as the low end were to boomy and kinda bleeds into the mids. After a few days I started using the remote and realise there's two eq mode "Dynamic" and "Classic". I hit the classic eq and wow now I was loving it. The bass did not bleed into the mids and it didn't sound boomy. It felt more natural. I would suggest using it in Classic EQ mode if using for nearfield and use dynamic if the speakers are far or using for tv setup. The highs is just a lil bright for me to be honest but I read one user was messing with an EQ in the 100Hz to 1kHz range and I tried it myself using EqualizerAPO with just a lil 3 db bump in that range and boy it sounded perfect. For the price i've gotten these I think i have under paid for these.
I bought the 1700's (one model down) a couple of weeks ago and am very happy with them. Actually thinking now about returning them and upgrading to the r2000 but not sure if the extra $100 is worth the improve or not. Certainly cannot tell from this utube posting at all.
@@larrysynak Before I had my R2000DB. I have actually managed to audition the R1280DB R1850DB and the R2000DB. R1850DB being similar close to R1700BT I can tell you that the only noticeble difference is the low end presence being and a tad on the bright side for me for the R2000DB. But for my case the pricing difference between the two was $20 as i had it on a time limited sale for $135usd. But $100 difference I would wouldn't recommend upgrading. Prolly go with amp and passive speaker setup instead.
@@blammm88 Thanks for the quick reply. I'm running the 1700's through a Audioengine d1 dac at this very moment and of course the sound is very impressive. So good that I had wondered how much better the 2000's would be. With $325 invested now not sure if that extra $100 for the 2000's was going to be worth pulling the trigger on but you seemed to help me make the decision to the negative. I think the 1700 has adequate bass and outstanding mid range vocals. My hope was that the 2000's might provide even better mids and much cleaner cymbals at the high end as well as a bit more "presence"/separation of instruments. Lar.
@Larrysynak there will be no difference in midrange and treble quality between R1700 and R2000. The only difference is the bass, and even here it is nothing groundbreaking. Stick with R1700 and save up for S2000Pro ;)
@@@DSAUDIOreview I appreciate the advice. I likely will not spend the extra $100 for what may be a minimal gain in quality from the r2000 then. My 1700's put a real smile on my face now and I'm wondering how to utilize their potential to the fullest. A bit off topic but would you suggest an upgrade in the rca cables beyond the supplied? Or would cables not be a factor at this lower end of price spectrum. Thank you in advance for all of your help.
conclusion r2000db vs 1700bt vs 1280bt r2000db vs 1700bt from what i heard, but very subjective, maybe because my headphone and connection.. everybody says that r1700bt more clear, maybe because it has more high sound, but for me, sounds very thin. r2000db feels solid and weight, fuller, thicker and deeper dimension. for r1280bt, we know that it has more high than r1700bt, maybe thats why it sounds more open than r2000db, but still... very thin and narrow. for me, r2000db is clearly the winner.
The r1700 are reproducing detailed sound with more clarity while r2000 are relaxing and in my opinion better for TV and long term listening. Great video! Cheers!
I have both and i can say that the r2000db is definitely not worth the price jump. 1700bt is a much better deal. The sound is identical. Only reason to get r2000db is if you have a big room.
i just bought the EDIFIER R2000DB i highly recommend this speaker its all around speaker to music, games, editing it does a great job. Im a Bose fan and Do have one, but for the price highly recommend this speakers for tight budget and the Good thing is you can tweak presets to give kicks into base or treble for clarity of voice. and your know the quality its there. worth to buy.
wow...Agree with your comment, $100 price different but sound almost similar. Thinking to get R1700BT, but Edifier just email me yesterday about two more weeks their new Edifier S880 will arrive. Making me excited on looking their new product but the other side is more unsure & confuse to get which one better. Haha...
@@mal.______ bass doesn't go that low.. it's not sub 50hz woofer. If u love bass maybe you should buy a separate sub woofer for the bass.. i heard for this edifier the bass hits 58hz or 60hz. Although for a desk setup the bass is more than enough for me.
Violins - R1700; Hard Rock - R2k sounds straining in low end; Jazz - R1700 more balance. Has to be a function of that smaller bass driver; yep, R2k sounds boxy and loose, but lower bass notes.
For the price difference I might take the 1700. The 2000 might be a little too boomy in the lower mid-range. But the 2000 definitely more full sounding. Sounds the same Tweeter is used. The 1700 sounds a shade too bright but the 2000 sounds a shade too boomy and muffled.
I suspect that the bass on the 2000 were negatively impacted by being too close to the wall. They are back ported which requires some space between the wall and the speaker, whereas the 1700 is front ported so can better handle being up against a wall.
I really love the sound of R1700BT, as per demos. IMO they sound better than R1800BT as well. One thing though, which is quite crucial to me - R1700BT does not have "standby" button on the remote control.
@@tumachoff I see, thankfully it got an upgrade. I thought it was worth mention this because I nearly discard the R1700BT after reading your comment, it's crutial to me too. Mine arriving on Monday, can't wait!
Thanks so much Sam for the reply. I like both. peronally I think the R!170BT have a overall better sound meaning much better transitions between Low, Mids and Highs more even overall and I feel more pleasent listenening experience. I agree with what you said Sam, they are indeed very different and I do think the extra loudiness and bass could lead someone to feel they are better, but to a trained ear louder is not better. They are both excellent speakers as you say Sam. Thanks again for the demo and the reply. Cheers T
Great work on these videos. I was considering both of these but they would be going in a nook where my tv sits would it be better to have the forward port or rear port. What will happen to the rear ports r2000db in that location?
I will compare R2000DB with many more speakers soon. Klipsch, Audioengine, Yamaha, JBL, Presonus, KRK and more will be starring. I just need to get back home and record it.
R2000DB sounds much better in real life. I have 3 pair of Edifier 1700bt 1800III and R2000DB. So i can tall u - take R2000DB! yes R1x00 best smal speakers at the market, but if u can spend 30-40$more and size of R2000DB good for you. Definitely buy R2000DB!
After some reviews here and elsewhere, I choosed R2000Db as a present recently and almost exceeded my expectations. Certainly recommended. If you dont want to spend much, you get a multimedia set with actually good sound that can fill the room. My friend thanked for saving him research and money as he is FULLY satisfied! :) Fun to listen sound. A bit too bassy, but that serves nice for movies & games.They reach low and sound bigger. If you lower the bass a bit, become enjoyable for long sessions music listening as well. @Digital Stereophony Do you think that R1700 can serve as entry small studio monitors, -maybe by lowering a bit upper&low-, or they are too "coloured" towards multimedia use??
@@DSAUDIOreview Thanks! I came up with R2000 instead of JBL 104 and Lunas and dont regret it. Now I had AV42's as secondary monitor but sold them as they sounded too boomy, and looking for an upgrade. I was going for Eris 4.5 but when listened from close I found them a bit forward and cold to my taste. I want a bit warmer sound character. So i'm considering R1700 and CR5BT but cant listen to them thanks to coronavirus! Watching your videos, i think i like Mackies and sound better but hate their looks.. : P Can't decide.. Can I get your respectable vote? :) Your channel is very useful & almost..addictive!! Keep up!
Thank you very much for the review and comparison. I need acoustics for PC. I'm fond of streaming, so you'll soon need an external sound card, as well as a microphone. Has stopped the choice due to your tests on R1700BT. I'll most likely choose the Focusrite Scarlett Solo, then a microphone with headphones. Can you give your recommendations on the sound card? Once again Thank you very much, you helped me a lot with the choice of acoustics! I am from Belarus.
I have owned both Lexicon Alpha and Behringer UMC22, and both are great devices for much less than Focusrite, so get either of them instead of Focusrite IMO. I do not know much about microphones, so I will hold my opinion here...
if you really love clear and dont care about bass then ya, but Edifier Studio R2000DB have much more power. Some extra of these may needed in some places.
R2000DB has plenty of bass for a non 2.1 system. First late night with them. I have a small apartment < 900 sqft. I had to turn the bass all the way down 2 clicks from the bottom. Volume 15 on win10 sound control. Stock powerup volume on the R2000db. Meaning when you turn the R2000DB on, it comes on a pre-defined volume probably 50%.
Hi, Great video as usual for you, I am looking for loudness as I attach these speakers to my TV also to watch movies but my main purpose is listening to music. What is the best choice R2000db or R1700BT?
I play electronic music 99% of the time and also throw little home parties sometimes for 10 up to 15 people, which one you recommend? Nice video bro 🔥🔥
The R2000DB being more laid back and the comparison was done in classical mode. Wondering if changing the R2000DB to dynamic mode would sound more lively like the R1700BT.
You do not have to go to dynamic mode to make it sound more lively as it is enough to boost the treble a bit using tone controls, making it sound very similar to R1700BT in upper ranges. In dynamic mode the bass of R2000DB is overrepresented and a bit boomy.
Thanks! For now You can listen to the track here: audiojungle.net/item/dirty-swamp-jack-2/10023731 . Soon I will upload it to my channel as well. Cheers!
Hello i have Edifier R1700BT and i'm so happy listen jazz on them I'm planing buy Edifier R2000DB in Black Friday do you think its will be big difference and it worth ? Note just any way i need buy another speaker for some another room in my home :)
If You like R1700BT than You will for sure like R2000DB even more, it is an improvement especially in "Classic Mode". R2000DB is similar in overall sound quality to R1700BT with added bass extension, better build quality and more features.
Digital Stereophony why do 2000 sound more muddy in this demonstration? Is it placement close to wall? I love the clarity of my 1700 and don’t want to lose that if I go with 2000
I dont know the answer just i heard in the video the same thing . That 1700 has more clear sound then a little muddyer 2000. I wanna buy some of these 2 just dont know wich. I checked the 2730 but he has tooo much buss mumumuddyness :)
Does the Edifier R2000DB sound more pleasant and less tiring? I bought edifier R1700BT and I have been using it for 3 days (connected by cable), and I am not feeling well with the sound of it, any music in any quality sounds bright and a little irritating, after an hour I feel tired, I tried to call directly on the pc and also with external dac, i didn't feel it before with my bad speakers, despite the limited sound.
Edifier Studio R2000DB is now about 150€ in my country i will get them and so should you too.! If you have bigger TV then it will be superb(for music videos). They give you more concert feeling if lessening music.
@@DSAUDIOreview hi. Firstly I would like to say thank you so much for all these videos. I have done lots of research and your channel was a huge huge help. I'm in abit of a dilemma now. Choosing r1700bt vs r2000. They're about 50 bucks difference (1700 = 75usd, 2000 = 125usd) cuz I'm importing directly from China. Are the 2000 worth paying almost 66% more? I'm going to use them to replace my desktop speakers so I'll be sitting very close to them on the table less than half a metre away. For this set up what would be the best?
+Jack Iryev I have not tested R1280DB, but my guess is that it is the same speaker as R1280T with added digital input, do if You do not need that input than R1280T is better choice.
Just got this several days ago. Tried all the inputs but the Optical does not produce Audio of Dolby Digital AC3, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS. My PC can decode the first 2 and sound can come out from the Line In 3.5mm Jack but nothing from Digital In.
Im looking to get the 1700 just because the price and because i will only be using them hooked to a tv in a small bedroom for music, games, and movies. Will they have that wow factor? I currently have a 5.1 cheap logitech setup. Will these have decent bass without a subwoofer for movies. A subwoofer would be out of the question due to trying to be budget as possible and the room connected next to me that can hear everything. How is the stereo separation and soundstage imaging? Are the highs detailed and can they be fatiuging at close listening levels? Also how do they perform at very low and at max volume?
For a speaker of this size and price R1700BT are great for multimedia. They have clear speacious sound with solid bass - not room shaking though, for that You def need a subwoofer. It sounds good both on low and higher lecels thanks to DSP and it will blow Your old setup out of the water
Well...after all the comments here and in AMAZON I'll go for the R2000DB...😁 Ordering them tomorrow. A Polk PSW10 will be their companion waiting at home.😎
+matias1z it certainly does not feeling as though R2000DB is twice as powerful. The difference is only audible on high levels where R2000DB has more authorithy and control, while R1700BT starts to sound a bit strained and the bass begins to loose some punch and depth. On normal levels there is very little to it
Which one would be better for playing music/movies over Bluetooth: Edifier R2000DB or Wavemaster Two BT (Neo)? I saw that Wavemaster has AptX Codec, which Edifier is missing. Sadly I couldn't find a comparison between those two, maybe someone owned them booth?
hi, thanks for all reviews, very good work! please can anyone tel me if this kind of speaker is good for stereo home cinema? small room, no need loud sound thanks
Anyone have a recommendation on which would be better connected to a Record player? Have mostly rock vinyls but i listen to everything. Thanks in advance!!! Also is the bluetooth connection pretty much the same on both models?

@@lawlewful yes you have to factor in a third party person costs, regular non sale price. It's also about that price if buy from normal e-commerce site ( pay 1 time and direct deliver to your doorstep)
Hey Shawn, may i know which shop of taobao you made your purchase? Coming from Singapore too and been digging around into where to buy the r1700bt to use as desktop speakers.
I suppose the 1280T has the best value for those who can´t or DON`T WANT TO spend more money. But those who DO might as well get the R2000DB over the R1700BT. If you complain about money when comparing both you should really think of getting a 1280T instead.
Because it sounds better on the music that was chosen here... Heavy Bass music probably the 2000 would shine more but the 1700 just has a better tweeter or tuned better.
@@pedecia lol r1700 is a speaker. the r200db is a studio monitor. if response rate wise and rms r1700bt is way down low. yes if tweeter is your basis yes its quite good but does r1700 can turn to super high volume?
R2000DB was made for bass heads who can't hear high fidelity music due to hearing loss from ridiculously loud night clubs, high bass head phones, and especially loud earphones and blasting car stereos. Damage to ears is a slow, largely noticeable process. All speakers will sound much better when connected to a subwoofer , movies will sound great. Preferring one speaker over another because of its bass is bad logic. Whats important is high and mid range. Then get a subwoofer for low bass frequency.
Good afternoon!What will say in comparison of sound of Edifier r2000db and Presonus Eris 4.5?For a small room, only for listening of music sometimes viewing of films on a computer.
Id take the 1700 > 2000. You can dial out some of that crisp high end on the 1700 and get the same mid and bass as you can from the 2000. And you can'not dial in that crisp high end on the 2000 because it doesn't have the capability to produce it to begin with.
Actually that's false. I have both sets and the 1700 doesn't compare in mid or low to the 2000. Tweak the lows down and you'll have fantastic highs on the r2000db. They have the same tweeter, but the r2000db has better crossover and a bigger driver for better mids and low end bass that the 1700 just cannot compete or fill the room like the 2000 can.
Thanks so much for doing this demo. Both sound greaat. I perfer the overall sound of the 170's more balanced. Better high end and just more balanced from hi's to low's.
I have both R1700BT and 2000DB. Both placed in different rooms though. I felt the soundstage of R1700BT to be better than 2000DB. R1700BT is more open and airy and its soundstage is very wide.

what would you choose between those 2, the creative a250 and the Harman Kardon Soundsticks III ? i will mainly use it for gaming, movies and listening to music/podcasts (in my country the 2000DB cost 239€, the harmon and r1700BT around 145 while the a250 only 26, but i heard it was good for the price)

C2XD needs more power, it is in the edge of sound to say it sound power... but the bass are good, the same for the 1700bt, bass are good too, in both. I hear that the 1700bt sound better with Bluetooth than the RCA input. The Edifier 1700bt, suena muy bien, los graves en estereo se notan, tiene potencia y el bluetooth está bueno. Los C2XD suenan también muy bien, pero no tienen mucha potencia, suenan medio bajo en volumen, lo bueno es que tienen entrada óptica S/PDI-F. Los C2XD necesitan más potencia, están en el límite de potencia para decir que suenan bien, con lo justo. Los graves suenan bien, solo que con el volumen justo.

@@nuker222 nice, thanks for your respond. so its just lack a bit power than r1700bt, right? then i guess it is better to keep my c2+, since i dont use any coaxial/digital input, and save money for better upgrade?

I bought 1700bt about a year ago and I am very satisfied, apart of course the lack of some frequencies due to the small size of the speaker. I would like to upgrade to R2000DB, I have no space and these would be the most I can put. The big doubt is that the 1700s have the reflex in the front while the 2000s in the rear, the speakers are positioned at the corners of the room, could it create problems with sound and rumble? I wouldn't want to get lost in sound rendering.
Can you please suggest how will be 1700BT for Netflix movies & series, and music. It will be used with MacBook Air M1. Room size 14*14 feet Also if you know about 1700BTS Thank you!
What I find odd about these comparisons is that I don't think one can objectively say one is better than the other, its more like the difference in sound is subjective and some would like one over the other. I honestly find the 1700 sound better but maybe its quite different in real life, or what I think is that the 2000db can go much louder, but if you use them infront of a desktop that might not be needed anyway. Thanks for the videos
i use my R2000DB only to listen to music, and is really a bummer that every time i put on standby ou switch inputs the speakers goes back to Dynamic mode, which mode(Classic vs Dynamic) do you prefer to listen to music? any one knows a workaround for this?
I have the edifier R2000DB , all around it good but the bass on the speaker is just ugg... It separate and louder than all other sound even when i turn down the bass knob -5db , it may because of poor room placement but still... Im gonna sell it and buy another speaker

Just ordered the R2000 DB. Thanks 🙏 for making these videos for everyone. 😊
I have both R1700BT and 2000DB. Both placed in different rooms though. I felt the soundstage of R1700BT to be better than 2000DB. R1700BT is more open and airy and its soundstage is very wide. But it lacs the punch that R2000DB produces. R2000DB goes lower and the rumbles of base can be felt on your body. Both are excellent speakers. However, the signatures are completely different.
And the 2000's are essentially double the watts.
I very much appreciate these videos- they are very helpful. I would have liked to hear a track with vocals though. The sound quality and clarity of the vocals is one of the most important factors influencing my decision as to which speaker to purchase.
Agree
Thanks so much for this. So few clips of speakers playing decent instrumental music to help judge the quality of speakers. Instead just bass heavy techno and rap.
Great video. However could I suggest you have a piece of music to demo vocals. Especially female as it would give a little idea of the speakers mid tonal range.
Wow, quite a big difference with the 2000 coming out on top by a long shot. 1700 is still really good for such a low price though, amazing how affordable quality speakers are nowadays.
Yes I bought the 1280DB and I was like wow, they almost like my 600 euro pillars, now I also got the 1700BT for another room.
Oh and don't forget you but speakers AND an amp, and they have bluetooth, all for $150
@@JayNL Can you please suggest how will be 1700BT for OTT movies & series, and music. It will be used with MacBook Air M1. Room size 14*14 feet
How do you compare 1700BT & 1280DB for my intended use.
Thank you!
@@DocTalksGgn i finally kept the 1280, more flat for all, the 1700 has deep bass and high treble. I also listen talking Twitch streams.
@@JayNLThanks a lot!
I’ve ordered 1280DBs
I have been watching your videos all night, just to find the best speaker for myself
I feel you your struggle lmao
In my country (Hungary) the R2000DB cost 3x more then the R1700BT The sound different is not 3 times better. Im very contented with the R1700BT.
Well to my ear the R1700BT sounds like flat and neutral than R2000DB. R2000DB looks like a darker speaker but with fuller sound and has more resonance. Do not know if I use the correct words here lol. Thanks for the comparison. Will purchase a pair of R1700BT in the next couple of weeks.
no its absolutely reverse. R2000DB - natural and 1700(1800-1850) is to much HiFreq.
I'm with you, it depends on the ears that are hearing. I like so much more the flat neutral sound for the R1700BT, for a desktop is best ideal maybe complemented with a subwoofer.
@@carlosfedericolopezspindol3103 Ha ha. I did purchased Edifier R1700BT and a Sennheiser HD650. To my ears now HD650 blows away R1700BT. I found out that these speakers are a little harsh, bright so I turned the high volume knot down a bit. Also these speakers has soundstage but it lacks a soul, deep, full sound. It's okey for a budget 2.0 desktop speakers for my computer.
@@midorihibiki I agree that the treble of headphones can be better. So is the bass of headphones stronger than this 4-inch speaker?
Or is it just an improvement in bass quality, not stronger?
@@张嘉炜 Here is my experience. The bass on these Edifier models does have strong bass. But the texture of the bass, or it can not go lower deeper. The bass on my HD650 has more texture, can boomer if the record or the amp drive it. If you want more quality bass, look for the higher Edifier models. Some high end headphones can produce strong bass as and as quality as big speakers for example like Abyss 1266-Audezee LCD-4 or Sony MDR-Z1r.
What you get for more money (R2000DB):
- Larger tweeter and mid-range driver
- Alloy mid-range driver instead of paper
- Ability to switch them on and off from the remote
- More power (almost double the watts)
- Design (although I'm not a fan of glossy things that can scratch)
The R1700DB are not available in my country at the moment but I'll get R2000DB and decide if they're worth it
*Update*
Got the R2000DB. They look nice.
The sound on the other hand seems a bit harsh and the bass boomy (even in classic mode). I don't know how much the bass will improve but the harshness could be because they need breaking in. The bass reflex port is located on the back which is a bit inconvenient since I have them on a desk. May get the R1700BT once they become available.
Thanks for the follow up! If You find R2000DB harsh than R1700BT is even harsher in default settings. Check the controls on the back of R2000DB if treble is not boosted. My pair of R2000DB came completely fresh as well and I found them rather dull sounding out of the box...
Digital Stereophony ya agree my r1700bt is set to zero bass and mid treable . I am using my sub for bass
How would you go about using a sub with R1700BTs?
David Lorenz get a 3.5 splitter and get a stereo to mono and use that to connect to a sub . Connect edifier to the available 3.5 done , that's what I use
Andrei Agulescu, Did the bass improve after breaking in? And did you get R1700BT? Let me know, I'm deciding which one to buy. Thanks.
I just gotten the R2000DB for 3 weeks now for near field use. For the first few days i was kinda disappointed as the low end were to boomy and kinda bleeds into the mids. After a few days I started using the remote and realise there's two eq mode "Dynamic" and "Classic". I hit the classic eq and wow now I was loving it. The bass did not bleed into the mids and it didn't sound boomy. It felt more natural. I would suggest using it in Classic EQ mode if using for nearfield and use dynamic if the speakers are far or using for tv setup. The highs is just a lil bright for me to be honest but I read one user was messing with an EQ in the 100Hz to 1kHz range and I tried it myself using EqualizerAPO with just a lil 3 db bump in that range and boy it sounded perfect. For the price i've gotten these I think i have under paid for these.
I bought the 1700's (one model down) a couple of weeks ago and am very happy with them. Actually thinking now about returning them and upgrading to the r2000 but not sure if the extra $100 is worth the improve or not. Certainly cannot tell from this utube posting at all.
@@larrysynak Before I had my R2000DB. I have actually managed to audition the R1280DB R1850DB and the R2000DB. R1850DB being similar close to R1700BT I can tell you that the only noticeble difference is the low end presence being and a tad on the bright side for me for the R2000DB. But for my case the pricing difference between the two was $20 as i had it on a time limited sale for $135usd. But $100 difference I would wouldn't recommend upgrading. Prolly go with amp and passive speaker setup instead.
@@blammm88 Thanks for the quick reply. I'm running the 1700's through a Audioengine d1 dac at this very moment and of course the sound is very impressive. So good that I had wondered how much better the 2000's would be. With $325 invested now not sure if that extra $100 for the 2000's was going to be worth pulling the trigger on but you seemed to help me make the decision to the negative. I think the 1700 has adequate bass and outstanding mid range vocals. My hope was that the 2000's might provide even better mids and much cleaner cymbals at the high end as well as a bit more "presence"/separation of instruments. Lar.
@Larrysynak there will be no difference in midrange and treble quality between R1700 and R2000. The only difference is the bass, and even here it is nothing groundbreaking. Stick with R1700 and save up for S2000Pro ;)
@@@DSAUDIOreview I appreciate the advice. I likely will not spend the extra $100 for what may be a minimal gain in quality from the r2000 then. My 1700's put a real smile on my face now and I'm wondering how to utilize their potential to the fullest. A bit off topic but would you suggest an upgrade in the rca cables beyond the supplied? Or would cables not be a factor at this lower end of price spectrum. Thank you in advance for all of your help.
I don't know which one is better.
But I do believe, you get what you pay for.
That is how everything going.
conclusion r2000db vs 1700bt vs 1280bt
r2000db vs 1700bt
from what i heard, but very subjective, maybe because my headphone and connection..
everybody says that r1700bt more clear, maybe because it has more high sound, but for me, sounds very thin. r2000db feels solid and weight, fuller, thicker and deeper dimension.
for r1280bt, we know that it has more high than r1700bt, maybe thats why it sounds more open than r2000db, but still... very thin and narrow.
for me, r2000db is clearly the winner.
The r1700 are reproducing detailed sound with more clarity while r2000 are relaxing and in my opinion better for TV and long term listening. Great video! Cheers!
I have both and i can say that the r2000db is definitely not worth the price jump. 1700bt is a much better deal. The sound is identical. Only reason to get r2000db is if you have a big room.
jika ruangan saya 3x4meter kirakira tipe mana yang pass buat ruangan saya terimakasih 🙏
Depends if u can get a good deal. I got it on sale and it only costs $30 usd more lol. For that price, 2000 all the way.
R2000DB is dark in terms of sounds while R1700BT is bright with a soft balance of bass which is i really like👌🏽
The R2000 B just arrived... They are sensational... 🤔👍
i just bought the EDIFIER R2000DB i highly recommend this speaker its all around speaker to music, games, editing it does a great job. Im a Bose fan and Do have one, but for the price highly recommend this speakers for tight budget and the Good thing is you can tweak presets to give kicks into base or treble for clarity of voice. and your know the quality its there. worth to buy.
Bose??? Why??? :-)
wow...Agree with your comment, $100 price different but sound almost similar. Thinking to get R1700BT, but Edifier just email me yesterday about two more weeks their new Edifier S880 will arrive. Making me excited on looking their new product but the other side is more unsure & confuse to get which one better. Haha...
Rony Lee sound almost the same? Use headphones to hear the difference and R2000DB is 120watts compare to R1700 70 watts
Rony Lee is the s880 also a bluetooth pc speaker?
Edifier R2000DB звучание понравилось больше. Edifier R2000DB a sound is pleasant more
Just ordered the r1700bt after watching a ton of your videos :)) and a sub to you.. good work dude. Keep it up:) really helpful.
Planning to get it as well, does the bass actually fine? Bec im a basshead 😂
@@mal.______ bass doesn't go that low.. it's not sub 50hz woofer. If u love bass maybe you should buy a separate sub woofer for the bass.. i heard for this edifier the bass hits 58hz or 60hz. Although for a desk setup the bass is more than enough for me.

I have an offer for r1700 and r2000db at almost same price . Little confused which one to take. Or should I straight go for s1000db?
I wish Edifier would offer some other colour options for its speakers. Gloss black or white and I'd buy 2x 1700BT in a heartbeat
there is a white variant (maybe not glossy)
Thank you for this video! Which of these will do a better job as a studio monitor in your opinion?
Violins - R1700; Hard Rock - R2k sounds straining in low end; Jazz - R1700 more balance. Has to be a function of that smaller bass driver; yep, R2k sounds boxy and loose, but lower bass notes.
agree, R1700BT sound more open. maybe because r2000db is meant to be listened at more far distance? since it is bigger
Stunning work! I really appreciate it.
For the price difference I might take the 1700. The 2000 might be a little too boomy in the lower mid-range. But the 2000 definitely more full sounding. Sounds the same Tweeter is used. The 1700 sounds a shade too bright but the 2000 sounds a shade too boomy and muffled.
I suspect that the bass on the 2000 were negatively impacted by being too close to the wall. They are back ported which requires some space between the wall and the speaker, whereas the 1700 is front ported so can better handle being up against a wall.
@@karl5043 Do you recommend getting the 2000 over the 1700?
I really love the sound of R1700BT, as per demos. IMO they sound better than R1800BT as well. One thing though, which is quite crucial to me - R1700BT does not have "standby" button on the remote control.

Thanks so much Sam for the reply. I like both. peronally I think the R!170BT have a overall better sound meaning much better transitions between Low, Mids and Highs more even overall and I feel more pleasent listenening experience. I agree with what you said Sam, they are indeed very different and I do think the extra loudiness and bass could lead someone to feel they are better, but to a trained ear louder is not better. They are both excellent speakers as you say Sam. Thanks again for the demo and the reply. Cheers T
R1700bt are amazing! R2000db is too big than sound that speaker can be pump! Difference is in low volume!

Great work on these videos. I was considering both of these but they would be going in a nook where my tv sits would it be better to have the forward port or rear port. What will happen to the rear ports r2000db in that location?
great vids as always. Any chance can the R2000 be compared with other, more expensive brands in your lineup like KEF, JBL, etc? Thanks and keep it up.
I will compare R2000DB with many more speakers soon. Klipsch, Audioengine, Yamaha, JBL, Presonus, KRK and more will be starring. I just need to get back home and record it.
thank you
R2000DB sounds much better in real life. I have 3 pair of Edifier 1700bt 1800III and R2000DB. So i can tall u - take R2000DB!
yes R1x00 best smal speakers at the market, but if u can spend 30-40$more and size of R2000DB good for you. Definitely buy R2000DB!
Can you make a comparison between Edifier R2000BT and F&D R60BT?
Thank you. I ordered one. Your comment seemed to be the deciding factor for me.
After some reviews here and elsewhere, I choosed R2000Db as a present recently and almost exceeded my expectations. Certainly recommended. If you dont want to spend much, you get a multimedia set with actually good sound that can fill the room. My friend thanked for saving him research and money as he is FULLY satisfied! :)
Fun to listen sound. A bit too bassy, but that serves nice for movies & games.They reach low and sound bigger.
If you lower the bass a bit, become enjoyable for long sessions music listening as well.
@Digital Stereophony Do you think that R1700 can serve as entry small studio monitors, -maybe by lowering a bit upper&low-, or they are too "coloured" towards multimedia use??
Yes, I think that with some tweaking R1700BT could work as a budget monitor
@@DSAUDIOreview You think would be an upgrade from M Audio AV42 or not much??
@@GeCha yes, audible upgrade. R1700BT is close to R2000DB in sound quality
@@DSAUDIOreview Thanks!
I came up with R2000 instead of JBL 104 and Lunas and dont regret it.
Now I had AV42's as secondary monitor but sold them as they sounded too boomy, and looking for an upgrade.
I was going for Eris 4.5 but when listened from close I found them a bit forward and cold to my taste. I want a bit warmer sound character.
So i'm considering R1700 and CR5BT but cant listen to them thanks to coronavirus!
Watching your videos, i think i like Mackies and sound better but hate their looks.. : P
Can't decide.. Can I get your respectable vote? :)
Your channel is very useful & almost..addictive!! Keep up!
Thank you very much for the review and comparison. I need acoustics for PC. I'm fond of streaming, so you'll soon need an external sound card, as well as a microphone. Has stopped the choice due to your tests on R1700BT. I'll most likely choose the Focusrite Scarlett Solo, then a microphone with headphones. Can you give your recommendations on the sound card? Once again Thank you very much, you helped me a lot with the choice of acoustics! I am from Belarus.
I have owned both Lexicon Alpha and Behringer UMC22, and both are great devices for much less than Focusrite, so get either of them instead of Focusrite IMO. I do not know much about microphones, so I will hold my opinion here...
Behringer UMC22 has a phantom power, I'll consider this option! Thank you for responding, when the R1700DB appears, I will share my impressions!
R1700BT/R1800BT/R1850DB/R2000DB. Which one should I get. I think it's more clear on the R1700.
if you really love clear and dont care about bass then ya, but Edifier Studio R2000DB have much more power. Some extra of these may needed in some places.
R2000DB has plenty of bass for a non 2.1 system. First late night with them. I have a small apartment < 900 sqft. I had to turn the bass all the way down 2 clicks from the bottom. Volume 15 on win10 sound control. Stock powerup volume on the R2000db. Meaning when you turn the R2000DB on, it comes on a pre-defined volume probably 50%.
Hi,
Great video as usual for you, I am looking for loudness as I attach these speakers to my TV also to watch movies but my main purpose is listening to music. What is the best choice R2000db or R1700BT?
For setup like this definitely go with R2000DB. Cheers!
Thanks fr that.
Edifier Studio R2000DB of cos mate ;) some dealers want too high price for them, but there is good offers too.
Most interesting demo although I regret the acoustic of the room. But still very helpful.

Keep up the good work, Digital Stereophony is my fav when it comes to buying speakers
Hopefully Edifier R1700BT vs SONOS ONE SL will be up please
The R2000DB being more laid back and the comparison was done in classical mode. Wondering if changing the R2000DB to dynamic mode would sound more lively like the R1700BT.
You do not have to go to dynamic mode to make it sound more lively as it is enough to boost the treble a bit using tone controls, making it sound very similar to R1700BT in upper ranges. In dynamic mode the bass of R2000DB is overrepresented and a bit boomy.
r2000 definitely better sound larger instruments, more realistic, although to an untrained ear they may seem less readable due to less exposed treble
Great demos. Very convincing. What is the name of the first piece playing here? I like it. Thanks.
Thanks! For now You can listen to the track here: audiojungle.net/item/dirty-swamp-jack-2/10023731 . Soon I will upload it to my channel as well. Cheers!

If You like R1700BT than You will for sure like R2000DB even more, it is an improvement especially in "Classic Mode". R2000DB is similar in overall sound quality to R1700BT with added bass extension, better build quality and more features.

I bought edifier R1700BT and I have been using it for 3 days (connected by cable), and I am not feeling well with the sound of it, any music in any quality sounds bright and a little irritating, after an hour I feel tired, I tried to call directly on the pc and also with external dac, i didn't feel it before with my bad speakers, despite the limited sound.
The 1700 def sounds much brighter and sharper in the video. I only own the 2000 and they sound great. Try adjusting your treble

Wish 2000db had sub out option.
Im looking to get the 1700 just because the price and because i will only be using them hooked to a tv in a small bedroom for music, games, and movies. Will they have that wow factor? I currently have a 5.1 cheap logitech setup. Will these have decent bass without a subwoofer for movies. A subwoofer would be out of the question due to trying to be budget as possible and the room connected next to me that can hear everything. How is the stereo separation and soundstage imaging? Are the highs detailed and can they be fatiuging at close listening levels? Also how do they perform at very low and at max volume?
For a speaker of this size and price R1700BT are great for multimedia. They have clear speacious sound with solid bass - not room shaking though, for that You def need a subwoofer. It sounds good both on low and higher lecels thanks to DSP and it will blow Your old setup out of the water
Well...after all the comments here and in AMAZON I'll go for the R2000DB...😁
Ordering them tomorrow.

How did you connect the r2000db with the polk pw10 with it it doesn't even have a sub out?
In the final volume there is difference? since the r2000db has almost twice the watts than the r1700bt
+matias1z it certainly does not feeling as though R2000DB is twice as powerful. The difference is only audible on high levels where R2000DB has more authorithy and control, while R1700BT starts to sound a bit strained and the bass begins to loose some punch and depth.

@@pedecia lol r1700 is a speaker. the r200db is a studio monitor. if response rate wise and rms r1700bt is way down low. yes if tweeter is your basis yes its quite good but does r1700 can turn to super high volume?
R2000DB was made for bass heads who can't hear high fidelity music due to hearing loss from ridiculously loud night clubs, high bass head phones, and especially loud earphones and blasting car stereos. Damage to ears is a slow, largely noticeable process. All speakers will sound much better when connected to a subwoofer , movies will sound great. Preferring one speaker over another because of its bass is bad logic. Whats important is high and mid range. Then get a subwoofer for low bass frequency.
Are they good for tv setup ? compared to similar price branded soundbar ?
Better IMO
@@DSAUDIOreview do you think r1700 is enough for movies ? i am coming from internal tv 2.1 speaker.
Not sure I see much value in comparing sound quality when listening with the speakers I intend to replace.
Can you compare R2000DB vs S1000DB ? Thanks
I will record it this week. You can expect upload later this month.
Hi guys is it worth it to get the S1000DB, if the price is about twice of R2000DB.
S1000DB has titanium tweeters, aluminium drivers for mid/low range & Aptx bluetooth, these are major improvement over R2000DB.
Good afternoon!What will say in comparison of sound of Edifier r2000db and Presonus Eris 4.5?For a small room, only for listening of music sometimes viewing of films on a computer.
+Сергей Богачёв I have recorded this comparison and will upload it soon so stay tuned ;)
Thank you, I WAIT!
Id take the 1700 > 2000. You can dial out some of that crisp high end on the 1700 and get the same mid and bass as you can from the 2000. And you can'not dial in that crisp high end on the 2000 because it doesn't have the capability to produce it to begin with.
Actually that's false. I have both sets and the 1700 doesn't compare in mid or low to the 2000. Tweak the lows down and you'll have fantastic highs on the r2000db. They have the same tweeter, but the r2000db has better crossover and a bigger driver for better mids and low end bass that the 1700 just cannot compete or fill the room like the 2000 can.
@@miss_drama Do u think its worth the money (100 bucks in my country)? im just an amateur all genre music listener
@@octavioferreyra4162 absolutely 💯
@@miss_drama how you thinking, for open space (on backyard) or terrace R2000DB will good or not?
Please compare edi r2000db with mission lx2..
Thanks so much for doing this demo. Both sound greaat. I perfer the overall sound of the 170's more balanced. Better high end and just more balanced from hi's to low's.
60watt vs 120 watt my friend
I have both R1700BT and 2000DB. Both placed in different rooms though. I felt the soundstage of R1700BT to be better than 2000DB. R1700BT is more open and airy and its soundstage is very wide. But it lacs the punch that R2000DB produces. R2000DB goes lower and the rumbles of base can be felt on your body. Both are excellent speakers. However, the signatures are completely different.
❤️❤️❤️ High quality review
the last track Edifier R1700BT i like more =Р
clarity
The have the same sound profile
I m very confused with Edifier R1700BT & Swan D1080 -IV.. Both are in same price bracket. Would you please help me? Mostly I will be using it with my 55inch Haier 4K TV. Please guide me
Edifier for sure, get R2000DB, better bass for movies.
what would you choose between those 2, the creative a250 and the Harman Kardon Soundsticks III ? i will mainly use it for gaming, movies and listening to music/podcasts (in my country the 2000DB cost 239€, the harmon and r1700BT around 145 while the a250 only 26, but i heard it was good for the price)
Probably neither of those. Try R1700BT insted
Can this speaker pair with edifier t5 subwoofer
How is the soundstage and imaging on these?
Just I have the Edifier 1700BT and Edifier C2XD right now in my PC... and i looking for the 2000DB too...
hi, how is r1700bt compare to your c2xd? i have c2+ and considering to replace it with r1700bt too, is it worth? or not a big difference? sometimes i feel a bit tired for long listening song with my c2+
@@fernandyas mmm, r11700bt sound very good, bass stereo is good, it is powerfull and Bluetooth is nice.
C2XD sound very good too, but it is not powerfull, sound low volumen, the good thing it is the S/pdi f optical input.
C2XD needs more power, it is in the edge of sound to say it sound power... but the bass are good, the same for the 1700bt, bass are good too, in both.
I hear that the 1700bt sound better with Bluetooth than the RCA input.
The Edifier 1700bt, suena muy bien, los graves en estereo se notan, tiene potencia y el bluetooth está bueno.
Los C2XD suenan también muy bien, pero no tienen mucha potencia, suenan medio bajo en volumen, lo bueno es que tienen entrada óptica S/PDI-F.
Los C2XD necesitan más potencia, están en el límite de potencia para decir que suenan bien, con lo justo. Los graves suenan bien, solo que con el volumen justo. Los graves son muy buenos en los 2 modelos.
Con los Edifier 1700bt escucho que suenan mejor por bluetooth que a través de las entradas RCA.
@@nuker222 nice, thanks for your respond. so its just lack a bit power than r1700bt, right? then i guess it is better to keep my c2+, since i dont use any coaxial/digital input, and save money for better upgrade?
@@fernandyas Yes it is, i will keep my C2XD for a time... But, if i would have to upgade i´d look for a model 2.0 stereo (not 2:1) with 6.5´ bass, S/PDI-F tosk link optical input and Bluetooth v5.1.
ej. R2730db or something newer or better...
@@nuker222 thanks a lot bro
Hello can you connect a sub on them?
I think the 2000 is more dynamic. The 1700 tweeter is happier . 2000 sounds more fuller
I bought 1700bt about a year ago and I am very satisfied, apart of course the lack of some frequencies due to the small size of the speaker.
I would like to upgrade to R2000DB, I have no space and these would be the most I can put.
The big doubt is that the 1700s have the reflex in the front while the 2000s in the rear, the speakers are positioned at the corners of the room, could it create problems with sound and rumble? I wouldn't want to get lost in sound rendering.
Can you please suggest how will be 1700BT for Netflix movies & series, and music. It will be used with MacBook Air M1. Room size 14*14 feet
Also if you know about 1700BTS
Thank you!
What is DAC suitable for R1700BT speakers?
I'm running a brand new Audioengine D1 with my brand new 1700bt set. The sound is fantastic.
in my experience changing dac is barely audible,, investi
ng dac price into better drivers seems the way to go
Definitely R1700BT!!
What I find odd about these comparisons is that I don't think one can objectively say one is better than the other, its more like the difference in sound is subjective and some would like one over the other. I honestly find the 1700 sound better but maybe its quite different in real life, or what I think is that the 2000db can go much louder, but if you use them infront of a desktop that might not be needed anyway. Thanks for the videos
Much different in real life. Especially after tweaking equalizer.
i use my R2000DB only to listen to music, and is really a bummer that every time i put on standby ou switch inputs the speakers goes back to Dynamic mode, which mode(Classic vs Dynamic) do you prefer to listen to music? any one knows a workaround for this?
Yes, it is a pity and I do not think there is a way around it. I also like Classic mode much more
@@DSAUDIOreview apakah pada R1700bt juga punya dua mode? salam satu hobi dari indonesia 🙏
During the sound demo, both speakers treble and bass set to 0?
Always
Can you guys help me? Mostly I listen to pop and electronic music. Which of these two should I buy?
Bigger will be better for you
@@DSAUDIOreview which edifier speakers should I buy for rock and metal. Please help
I have the edifier R2000DB , all around it good but the bass on the speaker is just ugg... It separate and louder than all other sound even when i turn down the bass knob -5db , it may because of poor room placement but still...
Im gonna sell it and buy another speaker
Lol those sound exactly like my current desktop speakers. Wonder why?
Good comparison 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
should i upgrade BT1700 to R2000DB?
Go directly to S1000MKII for true improvement
