  • Excellent 2-Channel Music Performance, Especially With a Decent DAC
I shopped for weeks to find the right speakers for my home office which is centrally-located in the main living area of our house and where I play a lot of different kinds of music. I spent a good deal of time shopping powered studio monitors to avoid the need for an amp/more wires. They had to have sufficient power to work in both near-field application for when I’m at my desk, but also to fill our wide open floor plan with sound when I’m not. And while I appreciate the idea of a subwoofer and even went so far as to shop 2.1 setups as well, I am also a big fan of 2-channel listening. Opting for better speakers with no sub (as opposed to lower-end speakers WITH a sub) was preferable to me. These appeared to hit nearly all of my targets except one low-priority one (balanced inputs), and included the ability to add on a sub later on if I wanted, so I took a chance. I don’t have any experience with the Edifier brand but I’ve heard good things. Turns out this was a great move. The speakers arrived well-packaged and individually wrapped in cloth to protect the shiny piano black finish. They also came with a polishing cloth to keep them extra-shiny. Maybe this was overkill. Maybe I like overkill… The speakers are heavy and solid – they FEEL valuable. I like the slight upward angle a lot as they are aimed perfectly from my desktop to my ears. They look modern and sleek, with or without the grills (though I have a two year old and will probably keep them on). The cable that connects the two speakers is super long – much longer than I needed (mine are only a couple of feet apart). The right speaker has the IR sensor for the remote and a small status/power indicator light that glows through the grill. As I am a firm believer in the bathtub curve of product failure, I immediately hooked them up and started putting them through their paces nice and hard. I blasted everything: Aphex Twin, strings-heavy classical, jazz, R&B vocal, “Kid A,” and the blackest metal I could find. I cranked them to uncomfortable levels and found my eyes watering with delight just a few songs in. I could feel the speakers aspirate, pushing the air around my right hand (on the mouse) at high volumes. Plenty of power to spare. I was expecting to take issue with the knobs being on the back, but I really only had to access them one time just after setup when I tweaked the treble up a couple of notches and left everything else flat. That was it. The knobs give a satisfying snap when they are flat in the middle of each setting which is a perfectly good place to be with these. I read in a few reviews that these are lacking in the mid-range, but I do not find that to be the case. They definitely sparkle in the highs and the lows are tight and serviceable, but I find the mids more than sufficient – clear with great separation. Some of that may be my DAC (I recommend you find a decent DAC for digital sources – I use a Korg DS-DAC-100), but you won’t get any complaints about the mid-range from me. The only area where I found them lacking is in the super-low register bass hits. Specifically I was playing “High Roller” by The Crystal Method, and while they shined throughout, there are a few ultra-low bass hits that were simply not “all there” at high volume. However, this does not defy my expectations of these low-profile desk speakers at all. I suspect adding a sub to the mix would probably pick up the bass significantly, probably even more than I would even want for this setup. In all I am very pleased with them and still not in any rush to add the sub. After a few hours of constant and loud playback I did a touch test around the back of each speaker to check for heat and found very little – almost none. A few of the other speakers I was considering had heat issues reported in the product reviews, but these have stayed nice and cool since I got them. The power switch stays on all the time, but I power them on and off with the remote and have still not had to access the switches directly. The only slight compromise I feel I made here was the lack of balanced inputs. I would have preferred them (and could have gotten them for a little more money or another monitor pair), but the DAC I use also has RCA outputs. I can’t imagine these sounding significantly better with balanced cables. I am no cable snob, but the cables that came with the speakers did seem a rather high gauge (thin), so I ordered a slightly lower gauge (thicker) RCA cable with the speakers ($10 – again, NOT a cable snob). I will be adding the cables (came with optical, Y, and RCA!) that came with the speakers to my cable storage bin where they will probably be repurposed for someone else’s system. As for the remote – it seems a lot of folks don’t realize that ALL remotes are lightweight. Remotes become heavy when you add the batteries. Since this remote only has a few buttons, it only uses a small button battery which makes it less heavy. Not sure when this became a drawback, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with the remote. It works perfectly from across the room and from numerous angles. There are four volume buttons (two up and two down) which I don’t really understand because each pair of buttons does the same thing. I originally thought they might control individual left and right channels, but that is not the case. This is not exactly a drawback – more of a weird design decision that does not take away from the function of the speakers in any way. The remote is excellent. While these would make reasonable home theater speakers, they will not rumble your house the way a lot of folks would like. You would need a sub for that. I have not used the Bluetooth feature and probably won’t very often except to listen to podcasts or audiobooks occasionally while cooking. I was only interested in their musical performance, and in that area they do not disappoint. If I have any issues with the BT, I will add them to this review. ... show more

  • Long-term Review
I've had this set of speakers for just over two years and to say I'm pleased is an understatement. When I was in the market for new desktop speakers I had two "must have" requirements. 1) Must have optical connection and 2) must have dedicated subwoofer connection. Both requirements were met with this set of speakers. The sound quality running with the optical connection is much better than the analog signal off my motherboard and my subwoofer actually receives a signal. Pleasant surprise...my Nintendo Switch connects via BT even when docked. I would definitely buy another pair of these speakers if I ever need them replaced. Or, another Edifier model if they have the same features. ... show more

  • Amazing sound for the price
I have pretty good ears. I used to be a professional audio engineer. My ears ring a bit now from those days, but I still hear better than most people I know because my hearing is trained. These speakers are quite good. I got them on sale for 140 bucks--a real steal. They're in my living/dining/kitchen open-concept area. The low-end response is really impressive for a pair of 4 inch drivers. Very surprising. Keep in mind that I have them on a wood floor and up against the wall, which helps reinforce the bass. The transition up the frequency range through mids and into highs is relatively smooth. I don't sense an extended high-end. From my perspective, the highs roll off a bit, but in a nice way. I'd say it's my old ears, but I don't get that sense from other systems, such as the Harmon Kardon system in my BMW. ETA: I've decided my main gripe about high end is wrong. It's an artifact of speaker placement and my position in the listening space most of the time. If I sit in the near field of the speakers, the highs sound great. There is a bit of a trashy sound to the mids, in my opinion. Hard to put my finger on it. I suspect it's because I've only used Bluetooth from my phone, so I'm hearing the distortions introduced by the draconian compression. Probably not the speakers' fault. I haven't had the time or inclination to hook up a CD player. Maybe I'll report back when I do. After using the speakers for a few days, I decided to order the Polk PSW10 subwoofer to see what that adds. Initially, I was not impressed. Really, the sub seemed to add very little and I had trouble getting it dialed in to where I was happy. Here's the problem: the Edifiers have subwoofer out, but plugging a cable into it doesn't change anything about what the Edifiers do. They continue to reproduce the entire frequency spectrum. What I'd hoped for was a switched jack that would engage a high-pass filter, causing the Edifiers to roll off their low-end response at around 125 Hz or whatever. That doesn't happen. So, there's so much low end coming from the Edifiers, that by the time you crank up the sub enough to hear/feel the sub, you've got too much low end. (Maybe for some of you there's so much thing. Good for you!) Add to that the fact that the phase anomalies introduced by these three bass units can be unpleasant, and I just wasn't thrilled. So I started noodling on what to do about it. And it hit me. The Edifiers have a Bass control. So what I did was turn the Bass knob way down. Not all the way, but maybe 80%. Maybe I'm crazy, but it's a fact that filter networks introduce their own phase distortions and somewhere in my silly head, my notion is that the phase distortions get logarithmically worse the more you engage the network, so I don't want to push it to its limits where things probably get really nasty. Anywayz, I turned down the Bass control on the Edifiers and turned up the Polk's volume, while adjusting the frequency point on the Polk until I was happy with the crossover. So now I have a subwoofer that's doing it's job and a pair of mid/high speakers not working so hard to reproduce sub frequencies--the whole point and goal. And I'm really happy! Does it sound like I spent thousands? No, of course not. But it sounds really good, it get very loud to the point where we can't have a conversation and still sound amazing, or makes for great background music at dinner. I'm very, very happy. 4 stars overall because I'm picky and the remote totally sucks. I can rarely get it to do anything and when it does work, I'm like 2 feet from the speakers. If I ever get time, I'll call Edifier and ask them what's up with that. ... show more

  • Great speakers
These speakers are exactly as described. Very satisfied with these speakers. Great low end with an option to add a subwoofer.
