I prefer A80, much clear sound.
Well this was eye opening. Thanks for making this comparison.
Wasn't expecting the A80 to sound this good for the price.
AirPulse A80 more open and wider for me = better
I'm a little lost, how is possible that edifier did better than Kef?
In all website, magazine etc we see kef kef kef and nothing about edifier, almost never, it's crazy.
Hi ! I think that Airpulse A80 win on all points if we can boost a little the frequencies between 140hz to 270hz (see the curve on video), then his sound will be more balanced and natural.
Merci pour cette vidéo.
Big thanks for comparisons! Krk g4 8" vs krk v8s4 someday plz!
Great Video and comparison, thanks so much
KEF sounds more open in the mids and deeper in the lows in my opinion. Listening in the ATH-M20x with T20 tube amp.
The "Deep" track does sound deeper on the Edifier A80.
Loa kef lsx nghe cũng ổn nhưng đã nổ điện khi sang năm thứ hai, tìm hiểu thì được biết nhiều người cũng bị tương tự
KEF. Nice bass for 115 mm woofer.
The KEFs does sound a tinny bit more wide than the A80s, but response is flatter on the Airpulse. Both seems to hold pretty well on nearfield, but I would suspect the KEFs might do better in soundstage consistency, due to their coax design. The bass should probably be equal if not just sounding a bit fuller on the KEF.
If you like the bright high frequency then A80 all the way, but some ppl might feel it is too bright. Might have to lower the treble by one db.Couldn’t tell much difference in mid and low. By the way, a80 is a much more reliable active speaker and cost less than half of lsx
Finally LSX met a tough rival
Very interesting. How closely do you match the sound levels?
Please try hivi swans d300 and compare it to kef lsx 🙏
Hi! I would like a test between Microlab 11 and 26!
Thank you
Wow...A80 Great!
Kef ❤️
Tough one, bt overall I´ll go with Airpulse.
There is problem with mic placement method - we hear full trebles of A80 but not from KEF. Vertical axis is most important factor, because usually anything off more than 20° angle makes it trash. Ribbon tweeter on A80 is placed higher, also tweeter itself is higher. Kef have trebles inside mid/woofer on center, while mic placement is not adjusted. KEF LSX is far superior, just not recorded properly.
I bought me a pair of a80 they are great! Better looking than i though bigger than i though and so great sound no issues at all with the basses it kudt great bang for buck just get it in the worst case if you r a bass head just add a sub!
Сделайте пожалуйста видео с А100 и А80.🤗
AirPulse A80
The A80 would've benefit greatly from a bigger driver and a slightly less recessed ribbon tweeter, because it is super precise and as a result the kef's are wider and presents a fuller bass response. The Airpulse was designed by Phil Jones, so the expectation on them to be perfect is high and with that hefty price tag they certainly do have flaws compared to rivals. Overall I'll take the LSX but on a budget the Airpulse is a great option, picked a set up yesterday for just under $300 and at that price its an amazing set.
Kef LS50 vs Bowers & Wilkins 805 D3 Please.......!!!
.....
A80 sounds better, more open sound. The voice is better on A80 also. KEF have more dark signature, may be they will be less fatigue for long listen.
But, is there a difference in resolution? It's impossible to understand from youtube. Does KEF's worth twice the price of A80?
The KEF's sound very boxy with a hiss. Glad I don't have to save up for that money :) Tweeter on A80 is so much better.
I would gladly take the LSX for the same price of the A80 for the sound stage, the defined bass and comfortable treble. But A80 is significantly lower priced, which is a real bargain for a speaker with dark bass and accurate treble.
so far listing with my dt 1990 i would say the AirPulse A80 is the best in performance to price ratio so far
AirPulse A80♥♥♥
same
Both of them sound bad to me, but the LSX which I use to consider to have one, sound pity much very “speaker sound”, especially in the mid range.
airpulse seem to have more depth
lxs has fewer units with a smaller size. no surprize
how thick are your bass traps?
What bass traps?
@@DSAUDIOreview he means isolators below the speakers I think
@@DSAUDIOreview those things you have behind the speakers, aren't they bass traps? how come i'm not seeing an sbir dip in your frequency response graphs?
They are 5cm thick and are there to limit echo not control bass response.
A80 sounds metallic to my ears. And the LSX boxy. I would say that I do not like neither of them.
The Kef lx sounds pretty bad to me. I am suprised all the website like whathifi rate it very high. It sound worse than Yamaha hs8 and tannoy gold 8
Edifier s2000mklll vs a80, кто вытянет ? Ленточник заметно лучше планарного твиттера вытягивает верха ?
Ribbon tweeter in A80 is a significant improvement over planar tweeter in S2000MKIII
@@DSAUDIOreview thanks, but what about the mid and low frequencies? The bass is much inferior to the a80, they are less than the s2000mk3, so the bass and the middle are worse? In general, as a class in terms of sound, what would you recommend?
@@DSAUDIOreview спасибо, а как средние и низкие частоты ? Бас сильно уступает у а80 они меньше чем s2000mk3, значит бас и середина хуже ? В целом как класс по звуку вы что посоветовали бы ?
That depends. If you care about fidelity and want to use them in the nearfield than A80 all the way. For TV use and casual listening S2000MKIII is better choice
@@DSAUDIOreview The high frequencies are better in the a80 because of the ribbon tweeter, so it reproduces them more accurately, but as in the a80 with the mids and bass? Basovik 4.5 for a80 versus 5.5 for 2000mk. How much difference does it feel? If you buy a sub Edifier T5 for a80, will it noticeably add to it in sound? It's just that s2000mk has no access to the sub = (
Lsx has better bass than s2000mk3? Thanks
Nope
@@DSAUDIOreview Thanks
Is a80 same as a100?
a100 has bigger woofer
A100 is a more well balanced speaker. Stronger in the lows. It's a tiny bit bigger.
A200 and A300 are even bigger, but for me the A100 is spot on. Also because it is white.
KEF speaker systems are very sad.. and have a higher price tag
A80 wins, 03:34 - 04:40 Metal Head you can feel something missing in the LSX
KEF wins for me. The Airpulse sounds compressed/struggling in the lows when the kicks come in. KEF sounds like it is more dynamic. KEF also has better low mids
ofc KEF wins, because you have KEF. lmao
Хм, у A80 более широкий диапазон и более ровный чем у кеф
Kef have the fuller sound for sure, much better bass.
Kef выдают искусственный и неестественный звук в сравнении с Airpulse. Kef выделяются только басом, но и он не соответствует оригиналу. Победитель очевиден
Both are begging for a sub, and I dont mean the awful T5
Which sub you recommend?
@@arx117 for a budget sub, get the Elac 1010. It blows the T5 out of the water.
On whathifi, a80 look crappy...
Neither.
звук ужасный,наверно из-за комнаты
Комната и перезапись на микрофоны. Суть не в том, чтобы узнать качество звучания каких-то колонок через видео (это невозможно), а в том, чтобы в равных (пусть и неидеальных) условиях понять разницу между ними.
@@andm2962 в старых роликах у него звук был норм,я купил так а300 и они звучат так же,имеется ввиду звуковая подпись,но в реале качество еще лучше чем с ютуба звук
KEF wins
Лёха в окопе
kef sound dark
Airpulse wins on horizontal dispersion whereas KSX wins on sound coherency.
👍
