EdifierR1700BTs Active Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers - 2.0 Wireless Near Field Studio Monitor Speaker - 66w RMS with Subwoofer Line Out

I did a lot of research to determine these would be great desktop speakers. I could have gotten higher end audio but not at this price point and cabinet size. The bluetooth connectivity is spot-on consistent, every day. The sound is excellent especially for the price. They look great as well and are high quality. I didn't get the sub with this on purpose. I will probably get the sub but really, I don't need it for the sound i need for a working environment. Build quality:Excellent! The wood is beautiful.Remote control:Works perfectly and is easy to control.Bluetooth connectivity:Works flawlessly connecting either phones, tablets, but most importantly, my Lenovo laptop every day without problem.Ease of setup:Was super easy out of the box to setup.

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 didn’t want to spend thousands on a decent speaker set. These sound fantastic considering the budget price point. I do not listen to too much bass heavy music but the bass is clean on these. Mids, highs, it all sounds clean and crisp. Incredibly happy with these. Build quality is fantastic as well.

I purchased these to go with my Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB Direct-Drive Turntable. I wanted a powered speaker to minimize the equipment I need to listen to vinyl.I strongly considered the Audioengine A5+ And Kanto YU6, however cost was an issue at this time for me. Feeling I may be a bit disappointed given the aforementioned desire, I was pleasantly surprised by the sound these speaker produce.Set up was easy. First record played was The Greatest Showman soundtrack. Sound was very crisp and clear. Heard things in the songs I didn’t notice previously. Highs are a little “tinny” at first but adjusted the treble down a bit to counter. Assume this will “warm up” post break-in period.Bass was ample considering speaker size. One thing anyone looking at this size of speaker needs to remember - this size woofer can only move so much air. However, these do a far better job than other speakers in this size I have heard. My son (14) actually said he was impressed by the bass and overall clarity.Next vinyl was Gun’s & Roses Appetite for Destruction. Again - clear and crisp. Rock music is always a little muddier by nature but again these did the job very well considering what they are and my intended use.Next I selected Bluetooth source to my iPhone and played varying genres from Charlie Puth to Alterbirdge to the 1975. All we’re handled exceedingly well in my opinion.Again, if you are looking for booming bass, you’d want to seek adding a sub component, as these do have a sub out and crossover built in to do so.The model I purchased is the updated model that resolves the Bluetooth issue (not shutting off) and the remote handles switching from phone/line level to Bluetooth, etc very nicely. Volume control and play/pause/skip for Bluetooth all work very nicely.Build quality is very good. They look very good for the price and have some heft whereas you feel you bought something with some quality to it.If you are debating a powered speaker on a budget and have considered these - I wouldn’t hesitate - as long as your expectations are realistic. These have a very nice sound stage and produce a quality “monitor” level sound versus some cheap (or even expensive) Computer speakers.You can always spend more money - that’s easy if you have it (or even if you don’t really sometimes) but the key is finding a product at a price that fulfills your need. I am quite happy with this purchase. I will eventually seek a larger more expensive option as intended - however these meet all of my needs currently and I am very happy with my decision.
