Solid for the right price and application
I got my Edifier T5 for $160 in 2026, and at that price I think it’s worth it. I’d probably consider it a good buy for a little more, too. Let’s get the expectations out of the way first: this is not a high-performance subwoofer. It’s an 8-inch subwoofer, so you should temper your expectations accordingly. But that doesn’t mean it’s a bad subwoofer. In fact, I think the T5 is a great example of a product that works particularly well when you use it for what it was designed to do. I bought mine for a nearfield system, pairing it with Edifier’s M90s at my computer desk. I think of this as my “local audio” setup. In that role, the T5 is awesome. I simply don’t have room under my desk for a 10-inch subwoofer, much less a 12-inch one. The T5 gives me some real low-end without taking over the entire space. I could also see it working well in a small room where a larger subwoofer would be excessive. It’s a very basic piece of equipment, but sometimes that’s all you need. Setup was easy, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the bass. I wouldn’t call it particularly tight or precise, but it’s tighter than I expected from an inexpensive 8-inch subwoofer. I also put mine on a small riser left over from an old setup to isolate it from the floor, and I think that helped. Most of my use is gaming, although I also watch movies and other media at this desk. Adding the T5 made a very noticeable improvement to the system. It fills in the low end and gives games and other content considerably more weight without requiring a huge enclosure sitting under my desk. For a typical stereo system, I would recommend spending more on a better subwoofer if you have the space and budget for one. But that isn't really the T5's job. If you need something compact and inexpensive rather than something built for maximum performance, the T5 makes a lot of sense. Think of the T5 as a specialized subwoofer that solves a specific problem at a specific price point. It was better than I expected, and I like it for what it is. Just don't expect it to behave like a serious high-performance subwoofer. For Pete's sake, it's eight inches. If you keep your expectations tempered, I think you'll be pretty happy with it. ... show more

An Absolute Beast—Completely Transforms the M60s!
I picked up the Edifier T5 to pair with my Edifier M60 speakers, and it has completely revolutionized my audio setup. The pure enjoyment I get from my daily listening is on a whole new level. The M60s are brilliant on their own, but adding this sub takes the soundscape to a new dimension. Considering how dramatically it elevates the entire system, the value for money is absolutely undeniable. When it comes to functionality, this subwoofer is a powerhouse. It delivers a deep, rich, and room-filling rumble without ever muddying the crystal-clear mids and highs of the desktop speakers. The adjustability is fantastic and lets you dial in the exact sound profile you need. I am using it on my desktop, and keeping the bass just at 25% is enough to literally shake my desk and vibrate the floorboards! It is amazing how much clean low-end impact it produces at such a modest setting. Finally, the connectivity was incredibly straightforward, allowing me to seamlessly patch it right into my existing desktop configuration in minutes. If you want to breathe serious life and heavy-hitting presence into your audio experience, do not hesitate to grab this sub. It is a massive upgrade! ... show more

Wow, Just Wow
These rock, they sound great. I also go the subwoofer that goes with it. I am blown away at how good these sound. Even turned down really low they still sound great. Out of the box they are meh. But once you start playing with the with they improve exponentially. I using mine with a mini AMD apu based windows system attached to my living room TV as my gaming and entertainment system. I've been using the crappy tv speakers, and recently decided to get something nicer. This set with the subwoofer and a win program called FxSound as a replacement for the OS's equalizer. Going from TV speakers to this is a huge, no, far beyond huge difference. Wow, decent speakers/soundbars are expensive. Then I found these. Saw a few reviews and here we are. These sound really nice. Far nicer then their price would indicate. I like that there are options for how to attach things. This give you enough inputs for, say, turn table, a receiver, a pc, a phone all at once. These are great. As far volume goes, at about half way I can easily hear the music and make out lyrics when on my porch. Granted my living room is the front of the house. I am confident that if I cranked it high I could wake a lot of people in this house. The subwoofer really does make a huge difference. Most of the comparable subwoofers are about fifty to a hundred dollars more with fewer features. I've read some complaints about the subwoofer's auto on/off feature. I haven't had an issue with it. It goes dormant when not in use. Some people say they can hear a delay when it comes out of sleep mode. I haven't heard it. The lack of a manual override does make me nervous. There is an On/off power switch but no way to enable or disable the sleep mode thing. Overall I love em, this set seems to be extremely well built, they sound great and are overall versatile. ... show more

The Edifier T5 Powered Subwoofer is the best PC bass I have ever heard!!!
The Edifier T5 Powered Subwoofer is the best PC Bass I have ever had. You can feel the bass in your bones. Setting this up took me some time to get the sound right, since I am using it with the Creative Labs Pebble X Plus. The bass is amazing. You have so much bass that the room will shake. The bass is clean, and if you have the right software (see below), you can make it sharp, quick, reverb, etc. Bottom line, if you are looking for bass, this delivers. Deep, thick, clean, bass with no noise, cracks, or loss. To get them both working together, I have to use these three programs. Voicemeeter -- This allows me to use speakers from different companies as a single sound system. The PC will not know how to properly separate the sounds without this. Peace Equalizer — This lets me control the type of bass I want. Without it, you just get a standard bass feel. It also allows me to switch bass types on the fly. VBAN Buttons -- This lets me control the master volume on my PC. Without it, each device has a separate volume control. This also will allow you to map the volume control to a nob (if you have one) ... show more

As far as Inexpensive 8" subwoofers go - it actually does quite well, however...
Alright - where even to begin? I've been an enthusiastic Edifier products user over the past two years, currently owning 5 different models of their powered bookshelf speakers. As of late, I've been eyeing compact subwoofers in the 8" range that I could add to my particular system to enhance the lower bass response. I am (was) particularly searching out inexpensive, yet competent 8" subwoofers to place under my computer desk since that's where I have my active bookshelf speakers positioned. Now to be fair, there are several outstanding (other brand) 8" active subwoofer models on the market, but those models are priced higher - usually between $299 and $499 - and as I discovered, you tend to get what you pay for in most cases! There is just 1 review on You Tube of the Edifier T5, and that one was done by Zeos Pantera, who I enjoy watching for a number of reasons. So I took a chance and ordered the Edifier T5 on Amazon. My reasoning in choosing the T5 (initially) is that I had previously also owned the Edifier S350DB 2.1 system and the T5 is basically the same woofer as in that system (albeit configured differently). OK - so the T5 arrived - it looks great and definitely has a nice, weighty (and solid) feel to it (which is good). In the rear you have both RCA inputs and outputs (as opposed to many subwoofers that have only RCA inputs) - which was very important to me, but I soon came to realize that I had misconceptions about that aspect of the T5. In addition, it has one of the smallest (if not the smallest) enclosure that I've seen on 8" subwoofers. You see, in the "other" more expensive subwoofers I alluded to above, they also offer both RCA inputs and outputs - but (and this is a huge "but"), in those cases you could use any powered speaker, run the music source cables (like from a Preamp or DAC) to those subwoofers, and then use additional cables attached to the "output"connectors of the subwoofer to run to the RCA inputs on your powered speakers. What occurs in "those" (a bit more expensive) subwoofers is that you can then choose a select crossover frequency (usually, 60, 80, or 100 Hz) to filter out the bass - meaning, that anything below those frequencies (you choose one) would be handled by the subwoofer, whereas all the frequencies above would be channeled to your speakers. This obviously takes the pressure off the 4", 5", or 6" woofer/midrange drivers in various bookshelf speakers and allows them to effortlessly focus on mid-bass and midrange frequencies. The Edifier T5 subwoofer, however, does "NOT" filter frequencies like the more expensive versions do (i.e. Emotiva and Presonus). With the T5, the RCA inputs and outputs are just for pass-through (nothing is filtered or channeled between subwoofer and speakers). So in effect, if you try and connect your T5 to your active speakers this way, all you are doing is reinforcing (amplifying) the lower frequencies that your active powered speakers are trying to handle also. Now do note that the T5's do have a knob ranging from 50-60 HZ t0 160 HZ and if you set this to a desired low frequency cutoff, what this means is that the subwoofer will only reproduce the low frequences below the cut-off you select. However, again - the full frequency response is still channeled to your main active speakers. So choose your low frequency cutoff wisely here so you don't double-up or reinforce low frequencies that your active speakers already product. Alright, so how did I use the T5? After trying the method above - and after I came to find out that no filtering takes place and the signal is just a straight pass through - I connected my Edifier R1850DB's bookshelf speakers using the dedicated 3.5MM subwoofer output on the rear of those speakers. I used a 3.5 MM to RCA Male set of cables, connecting to the T5. Now on the rear of the T5 is a knob showing bass frequency filter settings ranging from 50 to 160 HZ. I set this to between 70 and 80 HZ (everything in between the 50 to 160 Hz area are not marked specifically - there are just a bunch of notches, leaving you to try and decipher what is what). Remember, you get what you pay for here. Well, so how does it perform? This T5 does best as an under-the-desk unit, connected to desktop speakers - let's say in a desktop computer scenario. I first tried the T5 in the living room and to be honest, it did not have the impact one would expect when watching dynamic movie scenes, and at times you'll hear "chuffing" coming from the port. However, when I transferred it upstairs to under my computer desk - attached to my Edifier R1850's - the combination provided a fairly nice balance (once I settled on the right frequency range for the T5 to handle). Now here is a question that nobody has been able to provide an answer to this date. To begin with, since the T5 is an Edifier product, let's arbitrarily use the Edifier R1850DB's as the bookshelf speakers for the purpose of this particular question (since they have a subwoofer output connection in the rear of the active speaker). When connecting the 1850's to the likes of the T5, do the active speakers automatically "recognize" the subwoofer and then send low frequencies (below a certain point - and what is that particular frequency?) to the subwoofer? Or, does the subwoofer handle just a certain frequency range (below 160 Hz), thereby just reinforcing the same or similar frequencies that the speakers are handling? No one could ever answer this and I've asked this a million times on various forums. Edifier was remiss in not providing this information with the T5. It would most certainly be nice to know that a speaker will automatically recognize the subwoofer (when connected) to a model that has a subwoofer output on the rear of the desktop model. And furthermore, it would be nice to know that when recognized, what frequency do the bookshelf speakers automatically select to filter to the subwoofer? Sound quality-wise, do keep in mind that we're dealing with an 8" woofer here - nothing revolutionary. It can certainly add bass, but I must confess that the quality of this bass and extension is limited to around 38 hz. I also have a 10" subwoofer by a well known audiophile brand (with RCA inputs and outputs that provide low frequency filtering and channeling) and the quality of bass from that unit is phenomenal and well balanced with any bookshelf speakers you add. So in the end, for a super budget 8" subwoofer model, the T5 is a quality product - but then you do get what you pay for and for around $130 USD, there isn't anything revolutionary about it. You may be asking, "well, why not then just use the 10" subwoofer you also own?" Quite simple - it's much too large and my knee hits it every time I go to sit down by my computer. Thus my search for a smaller 8" model. I'll be keeping the T5 because I believe it does quite well from 40Hz on up and at $130, it is an ideal match for many of the powered Edifier speakers. I do intend to getting one of those "other brand" 8" subwoofers (either a Emotiva or Presonus) that features an actual crossover filter that channels anything above the selected low frequency cross-over point on the subwoofer to the active bookshelf speakers.. In the end, how we use our audio products becomes subjective and no two folks will agree. If you're looking for a serious low-frequency contender in the compact 8" subwoofer arena, the T5 just may do - but for others, it may not provide what you are looking for in terms of general low bass reinforcement - but at least you won't be paying an arm and leg. I'm currently actively using it - it does the trick - but I do know there may be better choices out there if you are willing to spend a few hundred dollars more. I did edit this review to update my assigning it 4 stars now (up from 3). And I am currently using the wonderful PreSonus Eris E5 XT 5.25" Near Field Studio Monitors. Using the Edifier T5 with these monitors provides a nice balance and I've been quite happy with this match-up. ... show more

Don't bother.
After less than 2 years of ownership, it died. No warranty to replace it, either. Powers on, passes a signal to my Edifier bookshelf speakers via Signal Out with a decent amount of feedback, and the Sub itself is completely silent.

Excellent Subwoofer Backed by Good Customer Support
I purchased the Edifier T5 subwoofer in August to pair with my R1700BTs. Within about a week I noticed an odd issue where a high-pitched noise would occur at random intervals. It was not constant, but noticeable enough to be distracting. I reached out to Edifier customer support and they were genuinely helpful. They walked me through troubleshooting steps like swapping cables, checking connections, and ruling out interference. When we couldn’t isolate the issue, they offered a replacement at no cost and covered shipping. The replacement arrived quickly and has been flawless. The new T5 sounds excellent. I have it paired with the R1700BTs, replacing an older Logitech 3-piece system. This is my first step into a more “audiophile-leaning” setup, and once everything was dialed in, the difference was immediately noticeable. The bass is tight and controlled rather than boomy, and it blends well with the R1700BTs without overpowering them. I’m not an audiophile, but for someone upgrading from typical consumer speakers, this setup feels like a massive step up. ... show more

Nice Little Musical Sub / Great Value
I needed a sub to fill in some bottom end for my treadmill room stereo system. I have a pair of Mordaunt Short Carnival 2 speakers hooked up to a Sonos Amp in that room and they sound great. Unfortunately, they have to compete with the sound of the treadmill when I'm going for a run. This little Edifier sub not only gave some grunt to my system but it is also a very musical sub. If you want a bunch of overwhelming distorted WHOMP this sub is not for you. But if you want a sub to add some musical low end to your system, this little mofo is perfect. I wouldn't recommend it for extremely large rooms or massive home theaters but it is absolutely perfect for a 2.1 system in a moderate to small room. It would also do well in a small home theater setup like in an average apartment size living room. A couple parting shots: 1. If you're new to subwoofer ownership...your first inclination will be to crank the LPF and VOLUME knobs on the back and leave them there for eternity. Don't do it. Start at zero and slowly work your way up incrementally...stopping to listen for each adjustment. (Some recommend that you start with the knobs cranked and decrease them incrementally until you can barely hear the sub...then dial the knob one click up from that point...then stop). Regardless of what method you choose, you most likely won't have the volume knob and the LPF knob at the same position once you've dialed in the perfect setting for your room and your taste. Sometimes it takes awhile to find the sweet spot...and it also takes awhile to find the sweet spot on your sub. (I crack myself up!) :0) 2. Placement of a sub and other factors can have a significant impact on its sound. You may want to check some YouTube videos on corner placement, frequency cutoffs, and not letting your small children put candy or small toys in the subwoofer port. I got this sub during the Prime Big Deal Days (it was discounted $50) so I am very happy with this little beast. I can't vouch for its reliability yet, (seeing how I've only had it for about 20 days) but since I hooked up this very musical sub, my treadmill runs have been accompanied by infinitely better sounding music!! Highly Recommended. ... show more
