I never thought I would see lude anime girls, dozens of enthusiast speakers, disco pants, a cat named Chewbacca, patriotic girl face underwear draped over a screen, a half eaten pot of food slop, and a wall of guns in one video. Only here on this channel can you find such amazing content.

Thanks for getting back to the roots of the channel. Affordable-hifi with no snake oil. Thanks.

0:45 We see you Zeos, you handsome devil.

The Edifiers are awesome. I liked them so much I kept them instead of giving them to my son for Christmas. I gave him my Elacs , put these in my kitchen and bought the TUKs for my music room.

Bruh finally some speakers. This last month has been like 90% DACs and headphone amps

You got me into headphones, iems, dacs, amps, and now here i am learning about bookshelf speakers.

Got those Edifiers few months ago and I am very happy with them. But I didn't have much experience with many other speakers to compare to, so thanks for validating my choice! Feels good man!

That is nice to hear Edifier keeps delivering. I bought the Edifier R1850DB for 119€ with shipping, what is 10€ less than what I could buy 1700BT for. Looking forward for them to ship ^^

I run these on my desk on either side of my 42" monitor, and lemme tell ya boyo, these speakers are super. I love them. As near-field speakers, these are perfect. Great sound and dirt cheap.

Thank you for the review. I was in the market for decent PC speakers. I quickly noticed anything under $150 was trash. Sound was lacking, looks, RGB over function. So I decided to put together a modest shelf studio speaker and amp kit for my desk. I realized I wanted bluetooth capability as well, no big deal, I can get a blue tooth amp. Then the cables necessary to run the system and it came up to about $250, not bad. A little more then I wanted to spend but ok. Then I seen this set and was thinking to myself, why spend all that money on additional hardware when I get everything I am looking for in the R1700's. Plug and play no wires but the power cord and I still have great sound aaaand I put $100 back in my pocket. This is what I think good desk top PC speakers look like.

I bought the R1280DB's for my daughter's bedroom last, last Christmas. They are impressive.

These Edifiers have been in my wish list since over a year ago when you released this video, and today they finally became my first Zeos-reviewed purchase! They replaced my $20 Logitech computer speakers and HAH! Just, holy fuck I can't believe I used those things for ten years.

Zeos I've been waiting literally 2 years for the Edifier 1700 BT, ever since I got mine !!! Always knew I made the right choice with these babies.

I got an Edifier R1850DB for the holidays and my sister came by, tested and listened to ATTENTION by Joji and I thought the speaker couldn't handle the bass because the song is heavily distorted. I did my research and found out the song is actually intended to be distorted to begin with. God she scared me I thought I made a bad buy.

Love your videos! Every time I am in the neighborhood of buying a certain type of audio product like headphones or speakers, I always seem to run into your videos whenever I look them up on you tube and always follow your recommendations and opinion. I bought a pair of audio technica headphones you recommended and absolutely love them. I am now in the neighborhood for some bookshelf speakers for my computer and again saw your video. Not only are you very knowledgeable, but also very entertaining as well. Thank you for your quality content. I'm somewhat becoming o an audiophile geek thanks to you! lol

I lost it on the leftie loosey, rightie tighty. 😂😂😂

I believe edifier does Dsp correction on most of their speaker designs because it saves time in r&d and they just use drivers that are close enough and correct what’s lacking with dsp

Just got the 1700BTS, same amazing sounding unit, but improved in every way. Having Sub out was the selling point for me, paired with a cheap Polk PSW100... they are such a treat for my lower volume listening in the condo living room.

The 1700bt is bi amp , the tweeter has heatsink on the back , neo driver tweeter. the tweeter does both mids and highs .

I bought the Edifier 1280 DB's to replace the speakers on my Sony TV and to stream music. For the cost, they are unreal.

Daddy loves his bang for buck.

Good type of video. Also, great timing because a shit ton of people (I would think) hopped on the Z train from a pretty successful Reddit post.

I have the Edifier R1850DB, which is the next step in the line, same drivers but a bit more wattage along with a optical input/subwoofer output. I must say, as a near field listener i find that i turn the bass down on them. Edifier really does push some insane bass to these things out of the box, i bet they wont go too terribly loud without distortion but damn.

Watching this with my Edifier R1700BT. Best buy ever.

When the Swans M5A are back in stock there better be a pair sitting in Z Man's apt.

I picked these up with no cable at goodwill for 20 bucks. Those edifer are amazing. I didn’t even know what I had but I knew they sounded good as heck.

Just bought the R1850DB for EUR 99 on sale because of your review. They are 100% identical to the R1700BT from what i have seen. BUT they add optical in and a subwoofer out. If you can get them and pair them with a sub this is probably going to be reaaaaaaaally compelling price-performance-wise, especially because of the digital in for easy sound bar crushing.

The newer version of the R1700BT has the remote on/off button.

Zeos finally reviewed the 1700BT! I love using em.

Okay, now this is interesting: At about 15:21 you say, "Do they need a sub? Yes. Every speaker needs a sub." And yet (a) you seem to prefer these to the S350DB system from the same company (correct?) and, you didn't demo the R1850DB, which is a slight step up from these, but with the notable addition of a subwoofer output. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the review, a local store here in Cambodia is selling them for 100 USD, which is freakin awesome.

Zeos, make the reviews of the passive Edifiers. The models are P12 & P17.

These are exceptional value for the money. In my small apartment they work perfectly. I have all my Music on my LG G8 Mobile phone, I use the PlayerPro App and play them via Bluetooth. All FLAC files I might add and the sound really is quite amazing when considering the price. Yes they do distort if pushed too hard and bass boom is a problem but you can manage that in EQ settings on the PlayerPro App. All in all a great buy. I've had these for 18 months and very satisfied although Edifier S3000 Pro's are on the wish list and I will probably upgrade to these later this year. Not sure my neighbours will approve but...

I'm 1 week into my S350DB ownership. Thank you for your channel.

About time lol. The edifier r1280t are also nice and under $100. I miss my Edifiers :/

"Some of the nicest knobs I've ever touched!" Love you Z!!!

These are 150 dollars on Amazon. They get made in China and if you buy them on the edifier taobao, they only cost 529 RMB (75 dollars) they are excually more cheaper. Such an amazing sound for a low cost pair of speakers. Sadly we pay higher prices for import... Even the edifier S350DB is only 1200 RMB so around 170 US dollars compare to it's 300 dollar if you buy it on Amazon. They are so low cost and it just blow your mind for what it can do. Anyway love your videos! Keep on going with the good work!

They’re only $143 au ($95us) at the moment in Australia from the Edifier online shop. Even the S3000pro, which I own, are $640 au ($428 us) there. True audio bargains

In Australia these Edifier R1700BT regularly drop to ~$120, which is like $70 to $80 USD depending on how our dollar is doing. We get free delivery on Amazon Prime from the US if we spend more than $50, so maybe people in the US can buy from Australian Amazon when they drop on special? Pretty much cost almost half the price compared to Amazon US.

I just took delivery of a pair of these edifier speakers last week. I have only really seem people putting them on a desk (apart from this channel) but I've put them on some higher stands and tilted them a little forward using some foam. I turn down the bass on the speaker and then use a bit of EQ on mine to suit my music taste. On some music which is well recorded and not too complicated you can shut your eyes and swear that the speakers are bigger than what they are. Bargain speakers !

Used to have the edifier 1700bts. Great pair of speakers with a good feature set. Ended up selling them off to my friend who really liked them when I got an amp and a pair of Aaron SS120s (localky made speakers from a small, now defunct company).

Originally, I was looking for reviews to figure out what would be the best nearfield speakers for me. Now, though I have not found out the answer yet, I kind of fall in love with your reviews. SO COOL!

Zeos needs a bigger house to fit all the audio equipment. I propose a fundraising.

FYI the Dayton MK402btx do not have a remote, not sure where that remote came from but its not for the Daytons.

They changed the remote, it's much better now. It has on off and buttons are side by side.

Edifier 1700BT apparently has open Bluetooth and anyone can connect to them and play even when it is under operation with cable. I mean thats a pretty big con.

I have the 2000DB and the sound is amazing. Bought in Australia for $250 sale last year.

Bought them this week for the gaming/pc room. They are love at first sound!. They are not the best/accurate speakers. But they sound fun and warm. Vocals are supprising and really good. Insane for the price point. If you are looking for back ground music and pc speakers they are unbeatable at this price point. To me these are the blon bl03 of speakers!!!!!!

I got a pair of Edifier R2000DB (using the fiber connection) for Christmas and I love them......they have the piano black sides instead of wood which sucks but they where 80 dollars cheaper so I'll forgive my parents for that. 😄

Plugable is a company known for USB hubs and adapters. Pretty cool they randomly make a pair of speakers and that they're good haha

Z, I was thinking buying between 1700 or 1800, does the extra $$ for the 1800 worthed?

So the big questions is: Edifier 1700BT or JBL 104 ? They are around the same price on the german amazon

Edifier own Stax Japan not surprised that these are great speakers

In Canada on Amazon the Edifiers are the deal of the day at 126.00 cdn. Feb 18 2020 only. That is 95.00 us (when comparing exchange rates) so that is a deal.

Listening to this on R1600 TIII :) So R1700 minus BT basically :)

So, I need speakers for my new desktop in my office. R1280T is a bit cheaper. How do they compare to the R1700BT? I don't need bluetooth.

Just set up my r2000db and they are amazing!

Loving these Edifier's. Thanks for the great review.

Got the R1700BT, thought they were quite nice but expensive. Returned after a week because Edifier sells a similar set (1280T) without Bluetooth for less, slightly smaller tweeter but same size bass driver, same knob layout and inputs and same rough footprint on the desk. Decided to save $70 CAD and switch to the R1280T. Next morning (this morning), I was back at best buy returning the R1280T and picking the R1700BT back up again, lmao. Not only is the tweeter just infinitely better on the 1700 in every way (volume, extension, clarity, and appearance), but the overall build quality, sound quality, visual appeal and such is just orders of magnitude better. One other big thing - the R1700BT does indeed use a DSP and it makes a huge fucking difference. The R1280T, does NOT have a DSP on-board; the crossover on that is a shitty no-name capacitor on the tweeter and that's about it. One of the things that the DSP has a massive effect on is that tuning the bass and treble via the dials on the 1280 fucks up the sound really badly because increasing treble or bass causes the whole sound signature to shift and causes the mids to scoop out, it's fucking atrocious and unusable. The 1700 with it's DSP based tuning is much better; as djusting bass and treble only boosts or reduces treble- it doesn't fuck around with the ability to hear details or mess with the tuning. The R1700BT is just an way better than I'd expect for this size and price (which again, is significantly more than the 1280), whereas the 1280T was exactly what I'd expect for the price and that means disappointment.

i bought the edifier 1850db for 160 euro,s , they are the same as the 1700bt soundwise and come with more connecting options like optical and aux. they also have a sub out so when u hook up a sub to them then u have best of both worlds .they only come in a black finish tho. and for the ones that listening to hardstyle music this is the set u need to get the best bassresponse in combination with a sub .

Super cool review! I was looking for those Edifiers for my kitchen as well :D

Thanks. Just got myself the Edifiers cant wait to set them up

I got Edifiers 1700 but BTS version that have dedicated sub out that is not dsp controlled and i just added sub and it is insane how everything sounds.

Just bought edifier 1700bt...the sound is really good 👍👍❤️❤️😀😀

Nice to see some speaker reviews again!

I have edifier r1080bt which costs ~70$. The tweeter's amazing.👌

how does it sound compared to the EDIFIER S3000PRO, where you actually pressed buy and ordered these. April 2019 you had those s3000's.

There's a brand of speakers I fell in love with around 6 or 7 years ago but A. almost no one knows about them, B. they're VERY hard to find in North America. They are called Swan (AKA HiVi). They have so many different models and styles from single driver, tiny speakers to $50,000 floorstanders with like 30 drivers in each speaker. The particular set I'm interested in is the M60-5.1. The M20-5.1 also looks very interesting as it's less expensive and much more compact. There's also the H4 5.1 but that's too expensive for me personally.

Does the 1700bt benefit from a dac? or it converts the rca back to digital for dsp?

I just got Edifier 1700BT in december 2019. Loving it ever since, and also I have Edifier 1280DB which is cheaper than 1700BT but have bluetooth and digital input. 1700BT have better mid and treble than 1280DB which sound a little bit muddier. But overall those two really good, cheap, and looks good for desktop and home audio setup.

Yeah this is speaker that can afford and available in my country (Edifier R1700BT)

You should review the edifier r2000db. And the edifier p17s. Both sets are really good I have them.

Or anyone that's interested those dating sites are available from parts Express in a passive version. Also that whole amplifier module is available separately so that you can install it in practically any set of speakers

Literally came when the Taxi Driver Theme hit

I love these guys!! and I still like to use these for reference sometimes in the stoo

Review the r1280db next?

Hey Zeos, would you recommend the Edifiers for near-field at my PC desk? They seem perfect size, features, and price for my situation. My biggest issue is that I cant necessarily buy most of your recommendations at a good price cause I live in NZ, but the Edifiers are available for a reasonable price here.

Thoughts on powered speakers having a HDMI (ARC) to be a solid Sound Bar Killer?

Plugable was actually the only thing I recognized, they make laptop docks.

$50 more and you can get the Edifier R1850 DB that comes with opticals and subwoofer out. They only come in black, however.

I have the Edifiers! Nice speakers... but i use it directly to the PC... What DAC/HEADAMP you recomend for them? thanks

I was looking at those to get something for my girlfriend to use in the living room. Couldn't justify the cost (poor folk) so I ended up going with a Wohome set that looks similar, but was only $75. Also Bluetooth compatible and powered. I think they sound alright, but I have no reference to compare them against other than built in tv speakers (again, poor, I can't remember the last set of speakers I owned). We can't really crank them though, our apartment's living room shares a wall with the neighbor.

Are the Dayton audio speakers you reviewed the mk402bt or mk402btx? You say you've had them for 2 years, but I'm unsure if the mk402btx with the better crossover where available at that time. Also, as far as I'm aware, and at the time of this posting, the Mk402btx doesn't come with a remote.

So I've bought these now, mostly because of your review. Do I get a fiio dac and the short rac now?

I use these for my home theater setup and the S3000 pros for my desk lol

Can any tell me what bluetooth version the edifier 1700bt uses ...is it 4.0 ?... I'm sure the 1700bts is 5.0 but not sure .... Audible difference ?... Thanks

So those Plugable speakers are now $74 with $10 off. Can't go wrong with a Z approved set of speakers for $64.

I purchased the Edifier R1900 back in 2014, and upgraded to R2000 in 2015, S2000MKII in 2016, Airpulse A200 in 2017, A100 in 2018 (yes trust me it is a upgrade), and I was more than pleased with all of them. Good products speak for themself. If Edifier release a superior model in the future, just shut up and take my money.

Speaking of unsightly but wood. What do you think of the new elac debut 6.2 colorway in Walnut?

Any chance you'll do the 1900 too some time? Thinking about buying those and there aren't many good reviews

Listening to this on my Edifier 1700BTS connected to a nice cheap Fosi Q4

Hey man, I'm late for the party. I'm not an expert in audio at all .. I need to know if this Edifier R1700BT is loud enough for a small living room given its 66W RMS. Usage: TV Series, movies and music My living room is as big as yours if that helps.

The last time I had a blowout this affordable, I got an STD.

How do they compare to the E25 Luna eslipse?

you seen to get angrier all the way through the review /rant , hilarious 👍

@ Z Reviews Did you try the Microlab Solo 7C? Curious as to what you think about it

Stuck between these and the fluance ai40, what would you pick?

can we get an updated review of their new offerings??

Just ordered a pair of the Edifiers....found your channel 2 weeks ago and I am already going broke lol

Try reviewing the Edifier R1850 they sound similar to R1700 but it has a Subwoofer Output.
