Hi Richard. A very nice review. I would like to know a feature that I can't find anywhere... How long are the cables connecting the satellites to the woofer? I know they are two different cables, the right one is fixed on the satellite and the left one is removable but how long are they and if they are of different lengths. I thank you.

The Sonos One sounds great for the size and, of course, has the added benefit of the smart features but these Edifier speakers definitely do offer a more rich sound experience as they can offer detailed sound across the audio spectrum.

@RichardTech 2 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately, there's no way to connect other speakers to work as one alongside the S351DB, if you have something like a HiFi receiver you may be able to combine them using that but there's no way to add a soundbar to the S351DB out of the box.

Great review. I'm looking at the edifiers to succeed my logitech Z-2300 kit that I've had for forever. Sure, my logitechs are still fantastic, but I'm after a more balanced sound, and the digital inputs on the S351DB are a big plus in contrast to the 3.5mm only on my logitechs. I've definitely thought about going down an upgrade path for the logitechs, but for what I'm considering, the edifiers will probably cost me less overall, and I know the edifiers will work, whereas the same i can't guarantee for the logitechs after surgery

Hiya. Since it looks like you're still responding to comments, wanted to ask what is the length of speaker cables - serial and the other one. Do you still have the speakers? How are they still performing?

@RichardTech 7 ай бұрын

Hi, apologies I don’t have specific measurements - the serial cable is a few metres long, unfortunately not removable so the placement of the right speaker is dictated by the sub. The other cable is quite long, plenty of length to have a good stereo separation.
