Studio Series Powered Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers - 66 Watts RMS

I may not be a sound engineer but trust me I know how I like my music to sound. I have multiple sound systems ranging from the likes of high end discrete Onkyo and Yamaha Aventage Dolby Atmos Home Theatre systems to Bose LifeStyle to Vacuum Tube Stereo Setups paired with some of the best speakers like Focal Chorus 836W, Paradigm, KEF, JBL, Definite Technology , Jamo, Pure Acoustics and Bose 901 that one can lay his hands on. All these setups have been solution-ed with the sole objective of hearing the best possible sound for the occasion. Of course these setups cannot be compared to a pair of measly computer speakers in this case the Edifier R1700BT Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers - Active Near-field Studio Monitors - Powered Speakers 2.0 Given the time that one spends on the machine of choice, one cannot be wrapped in some BT or wired headphones all the time. Hence the use case for a suitable set of sound drivers to fill up the time in the hot seat - be it the office or home - laptop, desktop or your a DIY beast of a gaming rig sitting pretty with all those synced up RGBs. I am sure that there would be a whole lot of fancy names one could pick from and I too had my fair share trying out Bose, Harman Kardon, Logitech, Creative, etc. desktop decoratives besides BT jumping from Google Home Max, Apple Home Pod and Amazon Echo Plus. However, my frustration kept growing as I was not able to get that right fit for my daily driver rig. A few days back I came across reviews of various Edifier options ranging from the fancy looking Luna E e235 to some others around 5K. To cut a long story short, after reading up some reviews, comparisons and YouTube content, I settled for the Edifier R1700BT Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers - Active Near-field Studio Monitors - Powered Speakers 2.0 Something just told me to go for them and they did check off all my boxes for being compact, having BT and 3.5 mm / RCA inputs and sufficiently powered for a 2.0 setup. Basic necessities for survival :-) The order was delivered in less than 12 hours. Many thanks to Amazon for that. :-) :-) :-) Unboxing (nicely seal packed in the original factory box) done, I was able to breeze through the setup of the simplistic contraption in 5 minutes flat. Powered on and hit the play button on my favourite VLC playlist. The 1700BT redeemed itself with flying colors as I sequenced from one track to the next. First of all I was really satisfied with the sound that filled the room - rich and sweet across the range and different genres. Some may say that the bass is a little boomy - I may agree a tad but it certainly wasn't muddy or cloudy. Mids and highs were great.... crystal clear and the best part was the realistic sound stage created. Enabling the equalizer and fine tuning the frequency controls produced just the sound I was looking for. Crank up the volume and the benign and laid back looking boxes (maybe due to their practical 10 degree backward slope design) start flexing their muscles without breaking a sweat. Boy! they do really get loud - not that ear shattering cracked up sound but a powerful harmonious wave punching it's way across the house like a heavyweight boxer. The remote is a huge boon - tiny but extremely functional. The build quality of the speakers is classy and subtle. I strongly recommend this set of speakers for your desktop, laptop or that gaming beast with a very definitive statement - Sweet natural sound - Best value for money that delivers for any occasion that your computing session may challenge it with.

Delivery: ------------ Considering Amazon's reputation, delivery was slow as I guess Amazon is catering only to its Prime member these days (disappointing). I got the text saying "Delivery guy is out for delivery" early morning at 7:30 but nobody showed up until noon. The mobile number provided was continuously switched off. After several failed attempts I had to call Amazon customer car thrice before they could help and during my third call, they provided another number. I called and asked the delivery guy his location, which was just 3 km from my place. He said the van was getting loaded and would take further 2 hours. I decided to visit and collect it myself as I had to leave for work and there would be no one to collect the order in my absence as I live alone. I visited the delivery guy shop and he took out my speakers from the bottom of the other stuff loaded in the van. I asked them to open the Amazon box right there & checked if the Edifier box was squeezed or raptured, everything seemed fine so I collected and left. Seller Feedback, Product Packaging & Unboxing: (Giving 4 stars for my love for the product, would have given 3 to the seller if I had the option) ----------------------- Seller was pretty slow in responding and increased the price a few days back. He didn't respond to my messages asking him if he can reverse the increase but no reply ever received. Tried to approach through Amazon but they said we have no control over prices. I didn't ask them if they had control or not, it was a normal question asking if they can ask the seller to respond to my messages. Anyways, the Amazon box packaging was okay and the Edifier box packaging was good, not great considering they were speakers. I generally love Amazon's packaging but it was a bit disappointing here. The first thing which you will notice is the build quality which is incredible considering the price (overly priced in India though). The attention to detail is excellent. I just love the colour combination which looks so good. They do weigh decently, not at all light, but won't call heavy either (many do in their reviews). I do not like the grille as it's not see through and completely blocks the beautifully designed twitter and woofer, so decided to use these speakers without the grille. The tiny remote control works flawlessly. Its so small it can easily be lost under your books or other stuff that are always lying around. All the necessary cables required are provided within the box, however, I didn't like the quality of RCAs. They look cheap as if the seller has replaced with local RCA's as I do not expect Edifier to provide such quality cables. The cable which connects left side speaker is very high quality and pretty long. SHOCK: One of the twitter (left one) was squeezed when I opened the box. Other than that I found nothing else in terms of faults. Packaging done by Edifier is pretty decent and no complaints here. The left speaker and the twitter is working fine, but don't know what to do with the squeezed twitter as I don't expect the seller to respond in time and don't wanna return these wonderful studio speakers. Product Review: ---------------------- I rarely leave reviews, mostly feedbacks on delivery and quality but these speakers do deserve feedback and a detailed one! I have been using Yamaha's YST-MS30 (apart from Sony HiFi and Sony pro amplifier years back) for a very long time. Spent a lot of time reading reviews of various speakers and finally asked my friend to try Edifier R1700BT during his visit to China. He loved these speakers so much that he ended up buying for himself and later refused to sell to me. He got a great deal of US$90 (₹6000) which is crazy considering the quality, looks and output. Amazon USA is selling these speakers at US$149.99 (₹10,000) which is still a decent deal (cheapest worldwide). This seller 'e9accessories' on Amazon India was selling at ₹12,000 and later increased to ₹13,300 (US$199), maybe because he got to know that someone is looking for these speakers as I did add these speakers to my cart (thanks Amazon). My long research finally paid off when I got to hear these at my friend's house and finally ordered on 1st May 2018. I have heard many speakers, Yamaha's HS-5, JBL LSR305 and many other class-D amplified speakers but these speakers are mind blowing at this price and looking at the size. They are so small they fit perfectly on my computer table. R1700BT sounds exceptional, the high's, mid's or low's, and the clarity which you get out of these, you can't get it anywhere in this price range. I have a pretty big room, can easily accommodate 2 king size beds, 3 big cupboards, 2-bedside tables, a computer table and still plenty of space to walk around and these speakers get loud enough to fill my room with amazing sound, the frequency response in the lower end dug deep enough even at low volume which is incredible considering the size of the woofer is just 3". They sound undistorted even at maximum volume when connected to a laptop (with extra output). So far I couldn't find any cons worth mentioning here. Outstanding quality and sound, Bluetooth works flawlessly and petty fast for being an older generation (2.0 if I'm correct). Would have preferred Bluetooth 4.0 in these speakers for completely lag free sound and faster connectivity as these are still selling strong all over the world. One can easily find many sound quality comparison videos with HiFi's like JBL LSR305 and many others on YouTube. Must have speakers for all clarity lovers and audiophiles. I'm incredibly impressed and have become Edifier's fan. Do yourself a favour, quit looking and just buy them, you won't believe anything looking this good and small could sound so clear, loud and wonderful. Edifier please provide better after sales services in India! Attached photos: Delivery, Unboxing, Squeezed Twitter and beautiful speakers laying on my desk!

I changed my office around and got a 49" Samsung Odyssey G9 monitor that has an audio out so my HDMI from my PS4 and DVI from my laptop could split the sound out to one audio. I spent hours reviewing Bose, Edifier, JBL, Sony, and a ton of knock-offs in between. I finally settled on these weighty bricks and I am so glad I did! They sound amazing! I have some passive Bose shelf speakers and the Bose Soundlink BT speaker and these speakers blow them out of the water! SETUP: The speaker's ship with a 3.5mm to RCA audio pigtail cable that I immediately plugged into the 3.5mm audio out on the gaming monitor and straight into the L/R RCA ports on the speaker (marked PC in). I was testing both the PS4 and the PC audio within 1 minute of unboxing. I then went on to hit the "Bluetooth" button on the remote and noticed the flashing blue light and immediately connected my Android phone over BT. Played a favorite YouTube Music playlist and walked 40 feet to my kitchen and advanced the playlist and adjusted the volume without any issues. SOUND: I am not an audiophile by any means but I play acoustic guitar and often record some of my own music, so there, I know something about what "good" sounds like :-). I threw on my favorite "relaxing acoustic guitar music" while I was working, between calls today, and cranked these babies to the max! NO DISTORTION! The bass was rich and booming, the eagle eye tweeters could really carry the crisp, brightness of the mid and high tones! I was shocked considering how inexpensive these speakers were! QUALITY: The hefty weight and aesthetic finish on these speakers make me feel like I bought something in the $600 price range. They are so well made, have great contrast between the faux wood grain and the matte black finish and I love that they angle up and away from the desk to carry the sound spatially around my desk area. Very premium quality! SUMMARY: All in all, I love these speakers and I have been trying all sorts of sound effects through them, and vocals, guitars, and even gaming have the right pickup and decay with the built-in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and Dynamic Range Control (DRC) to avoid distortion. You want to hear what they really can do, listen to "Stringscapes" by Alan Gogall on "eleven" (some unabashed Spinal Tap humour) :-)

Good sound quality and easy to setup.

Great speakers. Nice sound stage. Mids, highs and bass are good. And there are knobs which you can adjust. Treble and bass. Overall love the speakers!!

En general, las bocinas valen lo que que cuestan (yo las compré por debajo de los 3500 pesos), las utilizo principalmente para videojuegos y en algunas ocasiones para musica, en ambos casos obtendrás un calidad de audio excelente, y más en juegos con ruidos ambientales (como el red dead 2), la caja al ser de madera también es un plus, no solo estético y de calidad de fabricación, si no que también ayuda al sonido junto con su diseño (les recomiendo investigar el porque es buena la madera en bocinas, puedes encontrar algunos vídeos de audiofilos explicando el tema) También recomiendo comprar el software Boom 3D, lo puedes encontrar en Stream a un precio bajo, es un excelente programa para ecualizar y sacarle mucho provecho, ya sea para musica y juegos. Edit 3: después de algunos inconvenientes con las bocinas (una tenía menor potencia que la otra y era notorio), me hicieron válida la garantía y enviaron un nuevo par. Eso sí, su proceso de garantía es algo lento porque este vendedor a diferencia del de mercado libre, no es directamente edifier México, por eso no es tan ágil el proceso, pero si atienden bien y posteriormente me mandaron un nuevo par, y hasta la fecha (ya casi un año después) no he tenido ningún problema. El detalle con el control es algo curioso, y he visto que es un problema común en este par de bocinas, para los que les llegó "muerto" el control, este si funciona pero deben cambiar la pila, curiosamente, a mí me funcionó con una pila 2032, primero probre con una pila 2025 nueva que era como la que traía de fábrica, y no funciono, lo que me da entender que de fábrica el control trae un modelo de pila erróneo
