R1700BTS Active Bluetooth 2 Channel Stereo Bookshelf Computer Speakers

Bought these for my kids for first sound system to run with a bluetooth turntable and TV setup along with the add-on subwoofer for a bit more low-end. Probably more a 4.5 score for some cabling limitations and issues, but from a "sound" perspective they are the best thing for the price I can imagine. I'm even contemplating dumping my expensive hi-fidelity system for the simplicity and plenty "good-enough" sound they provide. I won't claim they'll make the most discriminating audiophile happy, but it is hard to find any fault sound wise. Set them up for Christmas, streamed some ripped music from my CD collection through my phone/bluetooth and marveled at how good the stereo separation was and how clear and well defined the reproduction was. Played a couple of albums on the turntable and literally shed tears over how nice it was to sit and hear a good stereo staged sound experience once again - something I'd lost track of over the digital era. These won't do if you are trying to run a huge party and anger the neighbors, but for a living room/family room listening experience and simplicity in setup, they create a quite good stereo music experience for a very affordable price with plenty of punch and volume for any use I can think of - more than enough for a big cinematic score, favorite music track, or just streaming tunes from your phone while working around the house - loud enough to hurt your ears if wanted. 4.5 as I say as the remote is needlessly cheap and the wiring limitations (can't connect the two satellites and subwoofer more than 10/12 feet apart or some such thing) is a problem to check out before you buy, but if that isn't a limitation, they are great. I have another Edifier set I use with my computer and quality for the price simply is great. While I'd love a great high end Marantz amp, huge monster cables to my old time favorite Acoustic Research (AR) top-end speakers, bi-amplified and all, at this point my aging ears will really only get an incremental boost from the like and extra $10,000, so simpler and less expensive is actually more than good enough. Powered so no need for a separate amp/receiver, paired with either coax or bluetooth quite good, even, monitor quality (flat soundstage - steady) sound, and accessible in the digital era. Go with an amp and discrete speakers if you have more than 2 or 3 sources, but for a turntable, CD/DVD, and bluetooth phone/tablet streaming, a great setup. Really attractive cabinets too for the price - I liked the angled face for a standard 10/12 foot distance from a usual TV stand height, seemed to position the sound correctly. Disappointed the subwoofer couldn't be in a matching cabinet though, another reason for the 4.5 - nothing to do with sound.

This system sounds awesome, if paired with a subwoofer. Without a sub, the bass is lacking, but it’s simply unrealistic to expect 4 inch speakers to reproduce robust bass sounds. The T5s subwoofer I ordered with the 1700 BTS arrived a few days after the 1700. The system easily connects via Bluetooth. In my estimation, this unit is a great value for the money.

These Edifier speakers sound incredible. The audio is crisp and clean across the entire range, and even at 100% volume there’s no distortion or harshness. Bass is tight, mids are clear, and highs are smooth without being fatiguing. Setup was simple, and once connected they immediately outperformed my PC’s built-in speakers by a huge margin. They feel solid and well-built, and the sound quality honestly punches above the price. Perfect for a desk or home office setup. If you want loud, clean, high-quality sound without messing with an external amp or complicated setup, these are absolutely worth it. Highly recommend

Sounds great paired with my turntable. Also great to use my phone on top listen to anything. Stylish. Not very heavy. Good power for volume. Great value for price. 2nd pair of edifier speakers I have purchased. Still impressed.

Good value, easy setup, sounds great, works great with Bluetooth from I phone, not able to get my computer to hook up so far, they are the perfect size, sound great, remote control works good, sitting here now listening to Spotify ands chilling , perfect for and old guy.

These suckers work great, nice and loud for their size and easy set up. I’d recommend turning the bass down about 2 levels since it’s quite bass heavy, other than that it’s great

I had purchased a small pair of Edifier bluetooth computer speakers, that were just what I needed, but the permanently attached cables that limited them to being 5ft apart didn't work for me, so I returned them and upgraded to these at 2x the price. These speakers are overkill for what I need, but man do they sound good. I opted for these vs a cheaper set because they had a subwoofer out option. Glad I did. An old Cambridge Soundworks subwoofer I had works with these. These speakers sound great on their own, but the subwoofer pushes them over the top. The sound becomes more three dimensional and room filling. The bluetooth works great with all my devices so far, and the included remote is a nice touch. The included cable to connect the left speaker is long and will accommodate just about any placement you have in mind. The speakers came packed really well, kudos to Edifier on that. Definitely seems like a premium product. The only criticism I have is minor. I wish they had a separate knob for selecting between inputs. I don't like multi function buttons, where you have to push and hold for one thing, and quick pushes for others. The remote mitigates that annoyance. These are substantial speakers, so if your looking for something small, these might not be for you. If I have problems, I'll update this review, but so far so good. Excellent speakers for someone needing self-powered bluetooth capable speakers. The subwoofer out for only $10 more than the ones without it is worth it, imo. Much more versatile and room filling if you have a subwoofer laying around, or would like to add one later.

I'm loving my Edifier R1700BTs! The sound quality is impressive, and the design is sleek. The bass is deep and rich, and the treble is clear. They're perfect for music, movies, and gaming. The price point is super competitive too! 👍👍👍👍, adding a Edifier T5 subwoofer is a perfect punch

I have to give these a 5. I did some work on my TV room and disconnected my surround sound. Hooked these up as a stop gap with my old Velodyne subwoofer and the sound is amazing coming out of these things. Bluetooth is a super nice touch to easily switch from tv to playing music. I'm a regular guy (not any sort of audiophile) so I cannot speak to the technical abilities of these. Just surprisingly versatile and pleasing to the ears. It fills my small room with very crisp music (room is 12' x 17'). Love these. If you have a sub you can connect all the better. As much as I like these...it makes me curious how awesome the higher end version of these bluetooth Edifier speakers may be. Maybe an unnecessary upgrade in my future for fun.

Espectacular Justo, lo que necesitaba tiene un muy buen sonido. Fácil de instalar. Viene con todos los cables para conectar al equipo. Muy recomendable.

Really nice quality and great looks. I use them for my PC desktop and they sound really amazing with the sub-woofer Edifier T5s Powered Active Subwoofer with 70W RMS. Great price too.

Very good cristal audio also attached a t5 subwoofer. Together giving a heavy bass and clarity audio..
