Opened my eyes (and ears)
Color: black and walnut
First, some quick points on design: - 10 degree angle on speakers properly point the woofer and tweeter towards your head when placed on a desk. Normally would have to put a piece of angled foam or something to achieve this, so a nice bonus. - Dials on the side are nicely constructed and placed for me, being right handed. I can see people wanting the volume knob on the front, but I mostly manage volume through the computer and leave the speaker volume static, so this was fine. - Front-facing subwoofer port is a nice design choice because if you are like me and want to place the speakers on your desk that's up against a wall, you won't have any obstruction to the airflow. Other speakers with rear-facing ports will need to be placed at least 4" away from a back wall. However, I think this limits the size of the woofer, which will have an impact on bass extension (will go into that more below). - Off/on switch is on the back of the unit, which wasn't that great. I didn't want to leave these speakers on because they would draw a bit of power, so I waste a couple seconds every time I toggle the power. - Construction quality seems to be pretty good overall. The speakers have some heft to them and are pretty solid. The wood grain veneer has texture on it so it makes it seem more real. Overall a good looking set of speakers with the grills on or off. The SOUND: Let me preface this section by saying that I considered myself an aspiring audiophile, but more on the neophyte side of the spectrum. I played string instruments throughout my life and listen to many genres of music, so I care and know a little about good sound, but I haven't gotten to the point of spending thousands on speakers and headphones. I recently bought a Samsung HW-K450 soundbar for the TV and have a pair of Shure SE215's, and for this pair of Edifiers was looking for replace an old Logitech Z3 2.1 system I bought 12 years ago. This was my first set of speakers designed for music listening, so I wanted something pretty high quality, but I didn't want to spend more than $200 because I wasn't sure how big of a difference it would have made. Overall, I was looking for something with good value. First things first, the speakers sound GREAT. Out of the box, they sounded a little hollow, but after about 12 hrs breaking in, the sound really rounded out, and the mid range and bass became a lot more full and lively. The first couple evenings with the speakers, I sat there in front of my computer with the lights off and my eyes closed, finding new sounds and details in tracks I'd heard hundreds of times before. Overall, the sound is very balanced through the mid-/high-range and sounds very natural. The silk tweeters don't distort or break down until the very highest of volumes. After doing some A/B testing with my soundbar and headphones, I came to realize how much of a difference having a dedicated tweeter makes on the sound. The percussive sounds from the R1700BT shimmer and have this ephemeral quality and made the Samsung soundbar (and even the Shure headphones) seem really dull and flat in comparison. The only negative I have about these speakers is that the bass is a little bit weak. This should be expected, as the woofer is only 4". In these speakers, the bass drops off really quickly below 50 Hz, which means that while you can hear the lowest bass coming out of string instruments, you end up losing a lot of the rumble from the bass drums (and explosions) that convey a sense of power. There is also an overexaggeration of the bass in the ~100 Hz range, but it's not super prominent if you don't turn up the bass knob on the side. In general, I'm extremely happy with this pair of speakers and will keep them for a while. They're a pleasure to look at and listen to and are probably the best budget speakers you can get right now (and other more experienced reviewers seem to agree). The R1700BTs highlighted just how much I was missing out on before, but they've also ignited a thirst for the hi-fi and I'm now on the look-out for my next set of speakers. I'm probably going to upgrade to pair of floorstanding speakers once I buy a house and get my own study (so I can use the same set of speakers for my computer and TV), but I'll happily keep listening to these Edifiers until that time comes. ... show more

Klipsch Devotee Extremely Impressed
Color: black and walnut
I rarely leave reviews but these speakers deserve one. First off to give a little perspective I rarely venture outside of Klipsch products. I have plenty of experience with all sorts of high end audio equipment from B&O to reference HK, NAD receivers, so on and so forth... so my amazement with these speakers is not due to never hearing any high end equipment. So why did I even take a chance with these? My little sister wanted a record player setup so I got her an Audio Technica LP60 to start her beginner setup. I wanted a pair of bookshelf speakers for a clean setup and I wanted the speakers to be powered so she didn't need to mess with an amp. That ruled out the Klipsch bookshelf speakers at this price point and unfortunately I couldn't use the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 system (best bang for my buck of all time, have had them for over 10 years now) as it has a separate sub and too many cables for it to be attractive with her setup. Aesthetically, these are knockouts considering the price point.The fit and finish is excellent, they have a healthy weight to them and no one would suspect that this isn't real wood. I personally very much like the look with the speaker grills off. It presents itself as a speaker pair only acquired with a higher budget. The important part - sound. They blew me away when I first set them up. They are bright, distortion free and have a surprising amount of bass. In fact, even though I am normally a bass fanatic these satisfy me in nearly every genre of music outside of EDM. They do run out of steam when playing Odesza for example but it is not a bad sound, the mid just starts to pull away and take over. Also, these things can get LOUD. More importantly, there is very little distortion up until max and the separation in instruments/vocals remain. I do not know how many this will help but as I am typing this review I have the speakers sitting directly beside my Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 system. It has been a gold standard for me for over a decade in terms of price vs. performance and while this is not exactly apples to apples (2.0 to 2.1) it may provide some relative insight for similarly priced often computer speaker systems. The Klipsch sounds bigger as if a wider sound stage but this may be largely due to the powered subwoofer. Obviously, the Klipsch wipes the floor in terms of bass performance because of the sub and with the horns in the speakers it does often sound a bit brighter. The Edifier however consistently sounds warmer and a bit tighter. When comparing the two systems side by side the real determining factor is how much bass you need and/or if you need a bookshelf setup as with 95% of media they both perform beautifully. It is only in the bass heavy applications the similarly priced Klipsch system pulls ahead. Additionally, the bluetooth works very well and there is very little lag or interference. The range is great, too. All in all, for a pair of speakers I would have never even considered if it weren't for this budget system I am putting together, I am incredibly impressed. So much so that I may cheat on Klipsch and purchase Edifier's higher end bookshelf system and really see what this company is capable of. ... show more

Great buy, great sound
Color: black and walnut
Totally satisfied with this choice of speaker. I had looked seriously at Klipsch R-15PM and the HEOS 1 but had a hard time justifying the expense. After all, I'm playing MP3s over Bluetooth while I'm usually doing something else. I only found out about Edifier from Consumers Reports, where they gave the R2000BT the highest rating of any Bluetooth speaker. I then looked at the Amazon reviews and saw that people were really happy with them. I chose the 1700 because of the price and the size. The 1700 is 1 1/2" wider, but the 2000 is 1 1/2" deeper. That said, the R1700BT speakers are way more than adequate for use as PC speakers. I listen to jazz or classical (symphonic, chamber, a capella choral) music. It's really nice to get the stereo with separated speakers rather than from a single box. The sound is a lot better than I expected from inexpensive speakers. They have no problem with stuff like Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances or Scriabin's Poem of Ecstasy with their huge orchestrations and huge dynamic ranges. I've been using the R1700BT for 3 days so far and haven't found anything to gripe about. The cabinets are not great furniture, but they are quite attractive and solid (no resonances). Anyway, whaddya want for $150? The way they sound, these speakers could look like Homer Simpson built them and I wouldn't mind. Setting the speakers up was dead simple. Pairing the speakers was even easier. There are only five buttons on the remote and they are all in the right places. The top 3 are mute, Volume UP, volume down, and the bottom two input selections for Bluetooth and a PC/SUX line input toggle. Power switch on the back is easy to find without contorting oneself to see the back side. Bluetooth connection seems to be totally reliable, and so far the have been no Bluetooth hiccups in the playback. The first day I set them up I tried to get the connection to fail. I failed t do so. The right channel speaker is the one that plugs into the wall. The inter-speaker cable's connectors plug in very securely. Little nits almost not worth mentioning: 1) Typical of design trends of the last 20-30 years, the printing on the remote is very low contrast. 2) The inter-speaker cable is longer than needed with this sort of speaker In short, if you want decent sound for not a lot of money I strongly recommend these speakers. You won't be sorry. ... show more

The Living Room Is Cool Again
Color: black and walnut
I am by no means an "audiophile" by definition, but after listening to several of my playlists through portable Bluetooth speaker(s), Pat Metheny and several other Jazz/Pop/Rock/R&B artists spoke to me through said speaker(s), suggesting that I invest in a product that brings the music forth with oomph and gravitas (as it should be), and here we are. After reading and watching several reviews, I landed on the Edifier R1700BT speakers. Hooking them up was simple, and establishing communication between the iPod and speakers was super easy, barely an inconvenience. I can control the volume through the iPod, but I'm still toying with the Bass and Treble knobs on the speakers to get a good balance of sound levels while adjusting the iPod's EQ also. As I said, I'm not an audiophile, but I like what I'm hearing so far, with deeper bass and something much closer to Stereo than the single speaker. With apologies to Mr. Metheny (the first song I played through the new setup was "Summer" by War), I think I'll be happy with my purchase for a while. ... show more

My Best Purchase all Year!
Color: black and walnut
So happy I purchased these speakers. First off they shipped them really fast & packaging was excellent. Once I opened the box I was extremely surprised about how excellently made they are and they are very solid and they have some weight to them, so build quality extremely excellent. I just love the to composite rca inputs and the blu-tooth connection. My two macs, gaming pc, media center pc, laptop, ipad, nexus 5x & iPhone connected to these speakers without any trouble, it was a total breeze to hook all my gear up to these speakers via blu-tooth because every single piece of tech saw them without any trouble what so ever, unlike other blu-tooth speakers that I purchased in the past. I also hooked to the auxiliary connection on the speakers to my AGPtek HDMI /MHL Audio (SPDIF+R/L) Extractor Support Ultra HD 4K x 2K /ARC / TOSLINK Optical Audio Output + RCA L/R Audio Converter - Support Full HD 1080P, 3D, 4K*2K resolution using rca wires and this device allows me to hook up any speakers to anything that I have that is hdmi and then it gives me a hdmi out, Spidif out & a rca out & the rca out I hooked my wire up to my edifier speakers so everything that is connected to my 8 device hdmi hub is now connected tomy new high quality Edifier speakers that I love. So all my blu-tooth devices are connected to these sweet set of speakers and all of my 8 devices that output to hdmi also now hook up to my wonder set of Edifier speakers. I just love the clear wonderful sound coming from these banging rocking two speakers, these things are awesome whether I'm listening to music on my mobile phones and tablets from an app or my sat tv, nVidia Shield Pro, Xbox, gaming pc, media center, other mini pc's and set top boxes, HD Projector, this thing totally rocks and it was the best purchase that I have done all year. Now for the Cons which is only the sad sad remote control, this thing is made very cheaply and is very light plastic and I will take a guess that it will not last as long as the speakers. This remote is very hard to use because first it's way to small and you can hardly feel the buttons especially in the dark, so you end up hitting the wrong buttons and changing by accident the output to another device, so you have to be very very careful on what button that you press because it is that new flat button style remote that I can not stand andI wish they just made a regular remote control with real buttons that you can feel preferably a back-lit remote. I am thinking about getting a harmony remote and programming it to learn the buttons on this sad sad remote, so I will be able to use a non irritating remote control instead of the cheap junk of a remote controller that came with these wonderful speakers. Also for some reason this remote also some how when I'm listening tomusic andI decide to turn up the volume, it decides to turn on or off my TV because apparently itlooks like this remote is on the same frequency or code or something as my TV,but being how I just purchased a new TV, I will see if it does the same thing with my new TV on the way. I'm not taking any stars away from these excellent speaker for that remote control because I can deal with that my self by adding a harmony to the mix and plus I purchased this product for the speakers and not the remote control, so I definitely give this great sounding set of speakers the highest score that I can give them because they are totally awesome for all the uses that you see above that I use them for. They work excellent for watching movies, listening to music or outputting sound from anyone of your computers, set top boxes, cable boxes/sat boxes or mobile devices, this thing simply is a work horse at least for me with the help from my 8 port hdmi hub and my little box that I purchased here on amazon by the name of AGPtek HDMI /MHL Audio (SPDIF+R/L) Extractor Support Ultra HD 4K x 2K /ARC / TOSLINK Optical Audio Output + RCA L/R Audio Converter - Support Full HD 1080P, 3D, 4K*2K resolution , with these two devices hooked up together along side with these speakers I am able to use any device that I choose to connect to the speakers no matter the connection because these two boxes take care of that making these wonderful speakers hook up to everything that I got and believe me, me being a computer geek/tech I have a lot of tech gadgets/devices, so go buy a pair of these speakers because they rock. ... show more

good speakers
Color: Black
When looking through the reviews I couldn't find any mention of the bass and volume of these speakers, so I figured I'd describe it here. I really like these speakers, and they are very much worth the $150 price I paid for them (to me). They go louder than I would need while sitting at my computer right in front of them, but would probably be too quiet for a party. There's a bit of distortion above about 80% volume, but it's not that bad, and 50% volume is already louder than you would want if you have roommates, live in an apartment, etc. Keep in mind that there are laws of physics that limit the bass production of speakers based on their physical size, so if you want really loud base you need a dedicated subwoofer. These speakers are exactly what I was looking for, they're more than loud enough for anything I would use them for in an apartment setting, and have excellent sound quality. If I listen closely, I can hear things in some songs that I've never heard before. As some people have said the remote isn't amazing, but it does the job if you're close by, and honestly the remote isn't why I'm buying the speakers, although I think you do need it to switch from line in to bluetooth mode. Oh and the treble was a bit bright for my personal preference so I just turned it down a bit. Overall I really like these speakers, if you're looking to have a party or play a movie super loud, like if you own your own home or something, then these probably aren't for you, but they go louder than I would ever need having roommates and have excellent sound quality. ... show more

Amazing!

Review Image by Amazon Customer
I was looking for some high quality Bluetooth capable speakers for the living room, without breaking the bank. I wanted something small, but with great sound. Read the reviews on these Edifiers and decided to try them. I figured for only $150 I wouldn't be taking too much risk if they didn't live up to the hype. Well, I'm happy to say they absolutely lived up to all the hype and more. I already expected them to be good based on the reviews, but I was still caught a bit off guard by just how good they really do sound. Quite frankly, I'm not sure how they can pull off this level of quality for the price? These speakers are quite a bit heavier than I expected and also a little bit smaller than I expected (which is nice). The cords that come with them to connect the speakers to each other, etc, are quite thick and high quality. The finish on the speakers is pristine, and they are solid as a rock. They are impressive visually - just beautiful, and sonically superb. Nothing chintzy about these speakers in any way. I'm just some guy who likes music, so I don't really know how to describe the sound from a professional standpoint, other than that they sound really clean and tight. Bass is solid and clean and absolutely not lacking, despite the small speaker size. Mids and Treble also very clean and crisp. I can really hear all the vocals well, and the highs are sharp and crisp without having that too sharp sound that is sometimes almost painful in certain speakers, if you know what I mean. They just sound good - really good. Balance of highs and lows is just really, really nice. I didn't even adjust the Bass or Treble - they sounded fantastic at the neutral adjustment setting. I did try turning up the bass just to see where it would go, and it went from tight and solid to a bit more thumping, if that's what you like. Like I said, I'm no sound pro, but I'm not a stranger to good speakers - I have some nice KEF's for my main stereo with a 240 watt amp, 80 watt separately powered sub, etc, so I feel like I have some experience with good sound. These Edifier's are as good as anything I've heard, really. Obviously, these don't get as loud as my main system, or have quite as much bass, but I don't need them to. I just wanted something nice for my living room when I want to listen to music there, and I have absolutely fallen in love with these Edifier speakers - just wonderful. Bluetooth connectivity worked great - without a hitch to my Android phone. So far I've listened to some Van Halen, Queen, Garbage, Tribe Called Quest, Led Zeppelin, Craig Finn, Fatboy Slim, Sunflower Bean, Fountains of Wayne, UB40 (on CD), and Vanity Fair. It all sounded outstanding on the speakers. I'd rate them 10 stars if I could. If you are questioning buying these, do not hesitate, you won't be sorry. I will probably buy another pair for my son who is leaving for college, as well as a pair for my cabin. Again, I really have trouble understanding how they made these so very good for such a reasonable price. But hey, who cares? Buy them and just enjoy the amazing sound, knowing you have money left to spend on music to play on them! ... show more

Perfect for the Amazon Echo/Alexa
Color: black and walnut
I have had an Amazon Echo for about a year, and like to listen to music and radio stations on it. The problem was that there is no audio output jack to connect it to external speakers, so the sound quality for music hasn't been great. Recently, Amazon upgraded the Echo to include Bluetooth capability, so that you can now connect external speakers that way. This was a change made to existing Echos as well as new ones; a software update, not a physical update. As a result, I have been looking for a decent quality pair of speakers to connect to the Echo. Most of the reviews I've read on these both on the Amazon Edifier product page and outside reviews reference them as computer speakers. I'm sure they would be great for that use, too. These are great speakers for the Echo, too. They are relatively small bookshelf-type speakers. For their size, they have excellent sound quality. They have much more bass quality than I thought they would for their size. They are a little thin on the top end, but, again, better than I thought they would be. The thing that got me to try them, along with the great reviews I found, is that the Bluetooth connection to whatever you are listening to (the Echo in my case) does not drop after a period of inactivity like a lot of Bluetooth capable speakers do. The Echo is on all the time, waiting for you to talk to Alexa. If you leave the power switch on for the speakers, the Bluetooth connection does NOT time out. I can tell Alexa to turn off the lights at night when I go to bed, and then tell her, when I get up the next morning, to play my local radio station from TuneIn and it will play through the speakers. A lot of Bluetooth speakers won't do that: the Bluetooth connection has to be reset after a period of inactivity. The speakers come with a remote control, so that you can control volume and input (Bluetooth or input jacks) that way, or with the Echo, you can also use your voice to have Alexa raise or lower the volume. If you are going to use the remote for the volume control, don't forget to turn the Echo all the way up and then adjust the volume with the remote, so that you get the maximum amount of volume. If you are going to use the voice control for volume on the Echo, turn the volume knob on the side of the main speaker all the way up for the same reason. The speakers come with RCA cables to plug in an auxiliary input, as well as a cable with RCA plugs on one end (to plug into the main speaker) and a 3.5mm plug on the other end for your phone or iPod, etc. There is a button on the remote, as well as on the side of the main speaker, to switch inputs from the RCA inputs to Bluetooth and back. Note: When I purchased the speakers the info on the Amazon site said they came with a 6' cable. I needed a longer one, so I ordered the 16'4" cable from Edifier. When I received the speakers, I found that the longer cable is now included, not the 6' long one. Edifier was happy to refund the purchase price of the longer cable I ordered from them, as I didn't need two of them. Great customer service. And, the info on the Amazon site and on Edifier's web page is now correct and shows that the longer cable is included. The two speakers are connected with a proprietary cable that is 16'4" long. It is included, and has a multi-pin jack at each end. It is not just typical speaker cable. I started selling audio/video equipment over 35 years ago. I'm now retired, but I still appreciate quality sound equipment. This pair of speakers will not replace a dedicated, high-end audio system, but for a computer or a smaller area or room, or for the Echo they are perfect. ... show more
