The tonal balance and dynamic range in the MR 4 is excellent!! And it being affordability makes it a steal! Tremendous value specially for the music lovers who love accurate music reproduction.
@@BastyTHz one thing that I tested, and got working fine, is using a subwoofer on the RCA output and the speakers on the P10 output on my audio interface. I haven't gotten the MR4 exactly, but if that's the issue, you can have both of them working at the same time without necessarily connecting them to each other.
To me the 1700 is clearly v-shaped but you can EQ that. MR4 can be v-shaped from EQ too. Strangely, according to measurements the Music mode is better/flatter on MR4. For close range use, for someone who likes many types of music or plays virtual instruments I would get MR4, I would use the balanced connections or shielded RCA cables and I would use desktop stands to raise them at head level. For multimedia it would be easier to use 1700. I doubt you can buy better speakers up to 2x the price, unless there's some big sale in your country for a specific model
It's always a metal music that exposes the difference most. Metal has the sensitive low mid, mid range that a lot of speakers struggle to produce correctly.
Got my Edifier 1700s the other day. Awesome speakers for the price and the integrated Bluetooth works flawlessly. The sound is somewhat generic but solid
Compared both in a shop, 100% R1700BT for me. The MR4 is lacking some details, more obvious when you listen to music with more instruments. MR4 = casual users/listeners.
Another great comparison, thanks! MR4 all the way, I'm very impressed. The 1700 is way too sharp in the highs and has hardly any detail nor character in the mids and lows. The MR4s are warm sounding but still balanced from high to low and very pleasant to hear.
I got my sights locked on to R1700bt but i think ill go with MR4. Can easily add a bluetooth accessory in a pinch R1700bt looks badass though but id go with MR4 to make it not attract much attention
Honestly, they both sound incredible for the price. I think the mids sound best on the MR4, but the edifier seems to have deeper bass extension. I'm buying one of these, but I haven't made my mind up on which one yet. Which would you buy DSAudio?
I've ordered both of them for my work/gaming setup and even though I have two weeks to test them, I packed r1700BT back into the box the same day they arrived. I listen to all musing genres and I'm not an audiophile in any sense, but I appreciate the good sound quality. Compared to MR4s, R1700s have bad vocal-background music separation, and the final decision came when I listened to the instrumental band (Polyphia
@@notsogood9449 I've stepped up my budget and tried out Prosonos E4.5BT - loved how they sounded, but there was a constant hiss sound. I've tried two pairs, hoping that the second one wouldn't have this issue, but no luck - their BT models just have this issue. I ended up experimenting further and got Kanto YU on a sale - I fell in love instantly; love their design, sound and functionality. Switching between BT devices can be sometimes wacky, but the remote helps with quickly resetting the BT connection. Got an additional speaker stand from Kanto to point them directly and I'm 100% pleased :D
the presonus absolutely suck mate. im very late to the game but danm do they suck. they are supposed to be studio monitors and they suck worse than even old logitech speakers. thats a low you dont want to hit
MR4 has 2 operation modes which you can switch by pressing the volume control... 1 - monitor mode (flat sound) and 2 - music mode (boost some frequencies)
Thank you soo much for some of the best recording and comparisons on youtube.. No bullshit.. just music and data !! Love it. Please please can you do a video of the Kali LP6 Vs IN8 please ? There is very little info comparing these 2 on youtube and your video would be awesome to have !! Thank you again !
i have the R1700 with the "SUB OUT"....great to have the choice to hook up a subwoofer...hooking up to the sub out lowers the bass response in the speaker itself but with a Rolls SX95 subwoofer filter it gives me the ability to fine tune the frequency and volume of the subwoofer...plus a SCHIIT loki pre-amp really makes these speakers come alive
@@isengate yes...but use the RCA jacks...I also use a DAC to change the digital out of the computer to analog before going into the speaker...tad better sound
It's quite the opposite, R1700BT are much cleaner. MR4 sound muffled and flat and sterile. 1700's might have a more V shape output, which make them more fun to listen to.
I'm impressed from these MR4. They truly wins the competition, providing much more accurate sound. Would be interesting to hear how they will compare to the 350/351db. Great content, keep the good work!
The gap is huge. More often, the MR4 restores better, and more often, the 1700 has stronger drumming and rhythm. In the part of DEEP, I think 1700 is the clear winner, while in the part of LONG NIGHT, MR4 is the clear winner in the vocal part of the first part. 1700 is too much cavity sound. For man on fire and jazz I don't think there's much difference. Vocals and mid - to high-pitched parts I thought the MR4 was cleaner, while the 1700 was so-so.
1700bt has a flat sound and does not have a three-dimensional feel. However, the sound quality of mr4 is slightly lower than 1700bt. If you adjust the EQ well, 1700bt can be a better choice.
I own the 1850 (very much a twin, sonically, to the 1700). I like them, a lot. But I'll get the MR4's once I sort out which guitar modeler I settle on so I can use them as proper studio monitors. I'll want the option to use the balanced TRS inputs which is unique to the MR4 vs the 1850 or 1700.
If you use good quality audio device like Focusrite solo or similar you dont really need balanced connection. They are gonna be probably 1m away from audio device. Im currently using Presonus E4.5 monitors with unbalanced cables and have 0 hiss.
I think r1700bts is better as a multimedia speaker with its remote and bluetooth functionality. Much more flexible for watching movies and listening to streaming apps Also it looks stylish MR4 sounds better though
just returned my R1700BT, as the sound was really not that much better than my old Genius speakers... also, left speaker lacked bass and volume compared to the right... I'll give the MR4 a shot

o complicado desses testes que o fone ou caixa de som que a pessoa usa para escutar pode influenciar bastante na percepção. eu por exemplo já pensei o oposto
Auch wenn es nur Sound übers internet ist und boxen mit micro aufnahme, aber ich höre hier kaum unterschiede, aber beim ersten song hört man es deutlich, die mr4 sind heftig aber am anfang klangen sie etwas blechender als die 1700
I've noticed that the 1280 models all seem to reset to a default volume level that is quite loud when they're powered off at the back. As the r1280t doesn't have a standby mode, I am unable to check if this circumvents that. Are you able to test if standby mode on your 1280db retains volume level when coming back off of standby? Also, I presume that the MR4 saves the volume level on powering on and off?
One of the reasons why I don't want to buy R1855DB, I think the digital board of R1855DB has the same function (reset). I think MR4 won't suffer that issue since it's analog. if its more clear than R1855DB, then I might get one. I'm not sure if I want to get MR4 or 306PMKII or sscs5 or even BS5P :( a lot of great options there.
@@mhnoni Interesting, so you already knew about this problem as well? I'm seeing ignorance from all official sources, just users talking about it. Yeah, I'm considering the MR4 if all the other Edifier speakers are going to suffer from this problem, even on standby mode it seems to happen. Madness.
@@Tephnos I've seen a similar response on amazon review, but anyway, looks like R1855DB and any other digital Edifier speakers is out of the window for me, I just received a response from my ticket I opened with them asking the question for both R1850DB and S350DB, and here is the response: "Hi , Once unplugged there will be a soft reset and the volume level will be much lower than the regular sound for sound and safety concerns.

MR4 more natural, r1700 extends more both ways. Doubt they are significantly better than $10 used passive speakers though. What would you consider entry level as far as powered speakers go? JBL 305?
Hi, bro. After testing my new Edifier MR4, I hear a very slight noise that comes only from the tweeters of each speaker, it is like white noise or interference and it increases when the volume of the monitors is turned up. The sound does not come from the other connected devices, since the noise is heard even when I only have the monitors connected, without plugging anything else. I have also tried it with several current outlets and the sound persists. My question is, is this noise normal? For what is this? Is it normal or the one I have was faulty? THANK YOU
Note that the left & right channels of both pairs of speakers here have been reversed, with the result that natural 3D stereo imaging & realism is lost during music playback and both pairs of speakers are not really sounding at their best. The speaker having volume, bass & treble controls and input/power indicator is known as the active speaker. This is the right channel speaker and should be positioned on the right, while the other speaker without similar controls and indicator is the passive speaker which plays the the left channel and should therefore be positioned on the left. It is absolutely vital to ensure correct placement of left and right speakers to enjoy your music or movies. Otherwise you'll find the car whizzing by on the left of your TV monitor screen, while the sound effect is coming from the right speaker. If you own any pair of stereo speakers you should always verify their correct placement by playing back left/right stereo channel test videos available on TH-cam.
mr4 itu speaker monitor, untuk kerjaan audio mixing, editing dll, karakter suaranya lebih flat. kalo 1700 itu speaker biasa, lebih punchy karakter suaranya
I've had the presonus 3.5 and got rid of them. Just weren't my thing. I'm looking at something around the same size and price-range. I don't do any audio editing stuff just use the speakers for PC gaming, listening to all kinds of genres of music behind my pc. But I also listen to music from my bed which is to the right side of the speakers, so not right in front. I connect my speakers with a topping DX3pro+ which also has BT. Will these be a nice pair of speakers to enjoy my music and pc audio with? Or is it really worth it for my use case to go at least €150,- more for Iloud Micro? I don't want a subwoofer in my room or anything. Examples of music I listen: Lo-fi beats, 80's music, Bowie, Prince, Bladerunner soundtrack by Vangelis, dite Straits...
@@doniherald7745 hell no, the presonuses are one of the worst sounding speakers you can buy lmao. they are nowhere near flat and they straight up suck. check out erins audio corner's review on them.
The R1700 is good for pop music even without using equalizer because it has a V-shape sounding. The MR4 is good for classial music and jazz. For pop music it needs a bit EQ because it has a flat sounding.

The noise always appears, connected to the interface and disconnected, even only connected to the power the slight noise is still present and increases if the volume of the monitor is increased. The only weird thing I can think of is that these monitors don't have a ground plug.
That's normal if you hear it only very close. If you hear it at 0.5-1 meter it's something else. If you're using RCA inputs you can buy a Behringer hum destroyer (very cheap) to convert unbalanced outputs to balanced outputs. That would fix any noise from computer or some near device, like wifi router. If you can't find that try to find a galvanic isolator with RCA. If you have balanced outputs on your sound card then always use those, not RCA. If you are using a laptop or desktop with no external sound card, but you have optical spdif output then get a cheap spdif->rca DAC. It'll disconnect your computer from the speakers and prevent hiss/hum. Also, use high volume from the sound card then adjust the volume on speakers.

The speaker having volume, bass & treble controls and input/power indicator is known as the active speaker. This is the right channel speaker and should be positioned on the right, while the other speaker without similar controls and indicator is the passive speaker which plays the the left channel and should therefore be positioned on the left. It is absolutely vital to ensure correct placement of left and right speakers to enjoy your music or movies. Otherwise you'll find the car whizzing by on the left of your TV monitor screen, while the sound effect is coming from the right speaker.
If you own any pair of stereo speakers you should always verify their correct placement by playing back left/right stereo channel test videos available on TH-cam.
edifier in general sound more and more artificial? 2850 for me is one of the exceptions
kegunaan game? mr4 or 1700?
mr4 itu speaker monitor, untuk kerjaan audio mixing, editing dll, karakter suaranya lebih flat. kalo 1700 itu speaker biasa, lebih punchy karakter suaranya
I've had the presonus 3.5 and got rid of them. Just weren't my thing. I'm looking at something around the same size and price-range. I don't do any audio editing stuff just use the speakers for PC gaming, listening to all kinds of genres of music behind my pc. But I also listen to music from my bed which is to the right side of the speakers, so not right in front. I connect my speakers with a topping DX3pro+ which also has BT. Will these be a nice pair of speakers to enjoy my music and pc audio with? Or is it really worth it for my use case to go at least €150,- more for Iloud Micro? I don't want a subwoofer in my room or anything.
Examples of music I listen: Lo-fi beats, 80's music, Bowie, Prince, Bladerunner soundtrack by Vangelis, dite Straits...
buy the 1380db i have it and for lo-fi it´s the best by far
presonus eris 3.5 is monitor speaker, they are flat and boring lol
@@doniherald7745 hell no, the presonuses are one of the worst sounding speakers you can buy lmao. they are nowhere near flat and they straight up suck. check out erins audio corner's review on them.
I think I like R1700BT, sound more natural and deeper bass.
Quase não vi diferença.
Me too
D12 vs MR4
mr4 clearly not for everyone, flat and boring, typical monitor speaker.
average listener would enjoy r1700bt more.
The R1700 is good for pop music even without using equalizer because it has a V-shape sounding.
The MR4 is good for classial music and jazz. For pop music it needs a bit EQ because it has a flat sounding.
Most of the time, both are far from the sound track.
this is nonesense.. you cant possibly hear the actual sound listening on youtube on a different speaker/headset
You compare the relative difference.
I didn't like sound of Mr4, too boxy. Edifiers way better (I listened speakers live)
r1700bt win.
R1700BT win
оба комплекта - мусор
Мусор это Яблофоны или JBL
Hi, bro. After testing my new Edifier MR4, I hear a very slight noise that comes only from the tweeters of each speaker, it is like white noise or interference and it increases when the volume of the monitors is turned up. The sound does not come from the other connected devices, since the noise is heard even when I only have the monitors connected, without plugging anything else. I have also tried it with several current outlets and the sound persists. My question is, is this noise normal? For what is this? Is it normal or the one I have was faulty? THANK YOU
The noise always appears, connected to the interface and disconnected, even only connected to the power the slight noise is still present and increases if the volume of the monitor is increased. The only weird thing I can think of is that these monitors don't have a ground plug.
That's normal if you hear it only very close. If you hear it at 0.5-1 meter it's something else. If you're using RCA inputs you can buy a Behringer hum destroyer (very cheap) to convert unbalanced outputs to balanced outputs. That would fix any noise from computer or some near device, like wifi router. If you can't find that try to find a galvanic isolator with RCA. If you have balanced outputs on your sound card then always use those, not RCA. If you are using a laptop or desktop with no external sound card, but you have optical spdif output then get a cheap spdif->rca DAC. It'll disconnect your computer from the speakers and prevent hiss/hum.
Also, use high volume from the sound card then adjust the volume on speakers.
