    Nice looking solid speakers but not as loud as I was expecting. Will probably have to dig deeper in my pockets next time

    Attractive compact speakers with a good punchy sound. Easy to set up and boasts a good range of connection options. Sound is quite ‘middley’ and lacks a bit of definition and clarity at the top end, but fills a medium size room adequately so can’t complain at this price.

    Das Umschalten der Eingnge zwischen Kabelverbindung und Bluetooth funktioniert nur ber die Fernbedienung.

    Wow I am so pleased with these speakers. TrueType shocked by the sound quality. I have all my music collection digitised and when played through these speakers linked by Bluetooth to my PC desktop the sound is unbelievable. I am hearing sounds on some tracks that I have never heard before on my other equipment. Sound separation is excellent, bass first class, volume carries a real punch. Cannot fault the product.

    As above, a good sound for the size of speaker with a very attractive price.

    Gave 5 stars for sound quality based on value for money. Obviously if you spend more you will get better sound, but for this price range I have no complaints about these speakers. Bluetooth works well and they look nice too.

    Enorm viele Menschen kennen das, Signalgerte, wie CD/DVD- oder ltere VHS Gerte funktionieren noch aber der Vollverstrker macht es nicht mehr oder integrierte Minianlagen stellen Schritt fr Schritt den Dienst ein. Oder der Fernsehton vom neuen Flatscreen ist derartig bel, dass zwei aktive Lautsprecher hier die beste Lsung darstellen.
    Ich habe von der Marke Edifier den zweiten Satz Kleinlautsprecher erworben – der erste spielt seit 15 Jahren in meiner Kche.
    Nun brauchte mein Vater ein Paar neue Lautsprecher, weil die Micro Anlage von Onkyo ihren Dienst komplett eingestellt hatte.
    Da ich mich hobbymig schon mein ganzes Leben mit Lautsprechern beschftige, wei ich, dass derart preisgnstige Kleinstboxen, immer zu wenig Polyestervlies zur akustischen Dmmung der Bassreflexkammer enthalten. Also habe ich das bei der Aufstellung behoben.
    Auch alle Kabel waren lang genug, sodass ich sehr schnell die ersten Tne aus den Lautsprechern hren konnte.
    Zwar begnstigt die Aufstellung an der Vorderkante einer Schrankwand, den Bass aber ein so solides Fundament hatte ich wirklich nicht erwartet. Dabei kann der Bassregler durchaus nahe bei Null stehen bleiben. Den Hochtonregler auf 14:30 gestellt, wurde auch der Hochtonbereich optimal wiedergegeben.
    Angesteuert werden die aktiven Lautsprecher von einem Fernsehreceiver, von wo sie auch in der Lautstrke regelbar sind, wenn man einen Maximalpegel an der Seite der Steuerbox justiert hat. Normale Wohnraumlautstrken und auch darber, werden locker erreicht und das bei einer klanglich erstaunlich hohen Ausgewogenheit, wovon der Kleinst-Basslautsprecher erstaunliches leistet !!!
    Aktuell luft auch der Fernsehton ber die Lautsprecher, weil sie sich als klanglich deutlich hochwertiger erwiesen haben, als das Gebrummel, was der alte Flatscreen in die Schrankwand hinein dnst.
    Allerdings ist dann Bild und Ton nicht mehr absolut Lipsync, was aber zu verschmerzen ist.
    Unterm Strich sind diese kleinen Lautsprecher, jeden Cent wert, wo Andere fr dieses Geld, hssliche Passivboxen anbieten, erhlt man hier von Edifier aktive Lautsprecher, also mit internem Verstrker, die sogar ohne Abdeckung, optisch etwas her machen und dazu noch zwei von der Fernbedienung schaltbare Cinch Eingnge und Bluetooth Empfang anbieten !
    Das ist ein absolutes Schnppchen, welches in jeder Schrankwand gut klingt, weil das Bassreflexrohr nach vorn heraus ffnet !!!

    Super Klang und Optik sehr edel. Satte Bsse und als PC Lautsprecher perfekt. Bluetooth leider nur per Fernbedienung einschaltbar.

    Bought these to go with a turntable and they compliment each other well. The speakers sound is great and they look good too.

    Firstly I have to say that I’m only using these on bluetooth to play Spotify via my phone, which limits the sound quality. However for the price they’re pretty damned good. If I was to nit-pick I’d say they’re a little too bassy for my taste, but dialling down the bass and boosting the treble makes them sound pretty hot.
    Despite the upward angle of the face of each speaker where you place them is critical – they sounded rubbish on the floor, but good on shelves (pretty true of any speaker).
    If you’re looking to get a decent sound playing spotify of your phone then buy these – you won’t regret it.

    Good solid speakers with good sound.
    Easily connect phone by Bluetooth.
    Nice long cable to connect speakers.
    Far too bassy. Had to turn bass right down and treble right up.
    Remote works well but us flimsy and small.

    Good solid speakers but too bassy.

    Ich habe die Speaker als Desktop-Lautsprecher fr Musik und gelegentlich ein bisschen Rumgeddel in GarageBand.. diesen Job verrichten die Boxen berragend, unaufdringlicher, prziser Sound, super aufgelst, ausgewogen und klar.. das Preis-/Leistungsverhltnis ist hier m.E. schwer zu toppen, einzig die Fernbedienung wirkt ein bisschen minderwertig, die brauch ich aber aufgrund des Einsatzgebietes ohnehin nicht wirklich..

    Rest of house is Sonos so these at the side of them shows they lack a bit in sound quality. Compact. Easy to use. Decent sound. Would like the option of a sub add on though for gaming.

    Good build quality, surprising load for such a compact size (33 wpc RMS), Tone controls on right speaker and handy remote control also

    Great value for money – look good, sound decent for the price. I’m not sure you could expect much more in terms of sound quality from this price bracket. Good lows and mids. They look good, and they also have the easy to use Bluetooth function included.

    The quality of the speaker really amazed me and the design is spot on and very chic.
    They came well packaged and wires seems to be really strong and of good quality too.
    I use the speakers to play (DJ) at home in my free time and I’m totally satisfied with it.

    Excellent delivery 3 days before quoted date. The item is as described. These speakers perform very well but are just a little boomy in the bass. With carefully location and the use of stands the bass can be improved. Overall I an very pleased with this purchase.

    Poco tiempo de uso. De momento ha superado mis expectativas. Suenan muy bien y tienen mucha potencia sin distorsin.
    Los uso como equipo multimedia y quizs son demasiado para este uso pero ya no los cambiaria por nada debido a la calidad de sonido que tienen. Para otros usos no los he probado pero van sobrados de potencia y calidad de sonido y construccin as que pueden cumplir en muchos usos diferentes con el bluetooth. Estticamente no defraudarn a nadie. Llaman la atencin.

    Oh yes, we’re back! My vinyl records that have sat dormant for thirty years or so are now in vogue once again. I could make a mint selling them now but am I going to? Not a chance! Keep yer filthy mitts off my collection! These Edifiers look the part, act the part and sound the part. Oh listen to that Argus LP…oh yes I can now write LP! Yes that long lost term that is probably not politically correct anymore, LP, LP, LP! No not album, not record, certainly not CD or tape, but ELLPEEEE! Am I going potty…probably…but listen to that LP….never mind all that vinyl cleaning and crap…just wipe it with a cloth, then lightly use the velvet brush and Bob’s yer uncle play the damn thing…a few cracks and pops and we are off! It took two minutes to set these Edifiers up, I probably won’t use the Bluetooth option but at least I can alter the bass and treble to my liking using the knobs on the side of the speaker. I’m not going into the specs or try to describe the sound, all I have to say is that they sound great to me. As they are powered speakers I don’t have to buy an amplifier and fiddle with any more wires. A good deck (I bought the Audiotechnica 120 USB Bluetooth from Amazon) and these speakers, that’s all I needed. Way to go!

    These speakers are fun: Get the right distance away from them (about 2.5m to my ears) and these speakers sound really good. I mean really good. Lots of scope to find the tone you like – the forward firing ports help in that. The sound is maybe a bit on the harsh side, but it is involving and enjoyable, and the 1700 speakers are great to play around with: Get the positioning of these speakers right and I think you will be impressed by the 1700s.
