Edifier R1700BT Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers - Active Near-field Studio Monitors - Powered Speakers 2.0 Setup Wooden Enclosure - 66W RMS, Brown

After seeing some of the written reviews in was slightly apprehensive about whether these would cut the mustard as monitor speakers for video editing. If that's what you're looking for, I'd stop searching. These are great. They're accurate, clear, responsive. There's good seperation between individual sounds. Although they're a bit bassy (you can dial it back a bit) they're neither muddy nor overly muscular on the bottom end. I've been surprised at how good they are to listen to music on. Other reviewers have commented on the eq for music so maybe of you're sitting away from them, you might have to eq them for the room but if you're at a desk with these pointing at your ears, they're near as damn pefect. You can mix sound with confidence.They're nice and solid and look great, with a perfect position/angle for editing My only grumble is the cheap, generic remote, which is tiny and easily lost. They're better using the wired connection over Bluetooth - there's a significant difference in quality. Give them a few days to run in and they'll get even better.

I hate most soundbars and 2.1 systems, which are not really designed for music. These speakers have great all-around sound. I'm not sure they qualify as studio monitors, as the sound is a little coloured towards the bass, even attenuating the bass -4. These speakers are good enough that I could hear a difference between a 320 kbps AAC stream and a Tidal hi-fi 1411 kbps stream from an Android phone over bluetooth.I think the strong bass is probably best for television and gaming, although most gamers would probably like a subwoofer. I'm not sure I would rely on these as Studio Monitors, but they sound great for general audio use. Like most near-field monitors, they will sound best at ear level and spread for music. For TV, I like them closer together. That focuses the sound with the picture better, but still giving decent stereo imaging.I couldn't find a pairing button on the unit (press the volume knob), but is it on the remote. It paired easily. It has 2 RCA pairs of inputs on the back, so you can have 2 wired sources.At 66W RMS, you get plenty of volume to fill a good-sized sitting room. A great set of all-around speakers at a great price.

This is the second set of these i have bought. The first were as a set of reference speakers in addition to my music studio monitors, as they have the expected mid scoop typical on mot domestic systems. The bass and treble controls provide a decent boost, the bass can get a little obnoxious, which im sure will reassure some. The treble boost doesnt quite match the power of the bass boost, but combined they give sufficient possibilities. The white finish is sleek and quite pleasant.The second set i bought was as a set to listen to spotify in my kitchen. They are more than powerful enough for this, and my kitchen is quite large. These 4 inch speakers are far louder and more balanced than a 3 inch Sanyun carbon driver set i initially bought. I connect these to my google home mini via bluetooth and google home still hears my voice over the loud music. One issue with this setup, if you dont leave these speakers switched on 24/7, youll have to open the Google home app everytime you want to play music through them and reconnect the two via bluetooth. Only takes 20 sec, but a bit of a shame the pairing doesnt result in them auto connecting. Perhaps this is googles fault, i dont know. I like the fact they have a 5m cable linking the two speakers.To be honest, its amazing what you get for your money these days. Dont bother with Bose etc. Get these for a quarter of the price.I hope these have longevity... given i have two sets now! Time will tell.

Changed my old logitech speakers for these after hearing such good things. I'd say these are worth every penny. Great sound i have mine connected via bluetooth and and have no issues. Paring is nice and simple, adjustable Base and treble beautiful sound, clear voices and nice deep basey tunes. The remote is a little small which make it hard of you've got large hands but there are controls on the left speaker that let you do everything the remote can.

I bought these to replace some vintage floor speakers, hoping for a smaller footprint and decent sound. They deliver on both counts.Come well packed with all the leads and cables required to set up. Very easy to hook up to turntable and get set up, but the cable linking the active speaker to its partner is a chunky thing so it somewhat limits placement. They're bookshelf sized so not too big, and look very smart.The sound is fantastic; a real upgrade from my old speakers. Everything is clear and precise with no fuzzing or distortion even at fairly reasonable volume (tested with Weezer and Architects) and loud enough for even the biggest of homes.Bluetooth works well and has a solid connection.Got these on a warehouse deal for £113 and very, very pleased with them for that price. Very much recommend!

Works straight out of the box, easy setup for some of the best sound quality and clarity I have ever heard. Genuinely the best money I have spent in my life. Granted the bass is a bit much but the folk at edifier put an eq on the side to change that level of bass. These have given me a stronger love to the music I listened to before. Using these speakers made me so happy because i had never heard any of my music with such clarity, it was like listening to every song for the first time. Absolutely amazing.
