Swans M10 I got it at SGD88. The sound is worth at least SGD500. Very bassy and clear, sounded like a very good audiophile bass. Vocal wise it won't shout like Audiophile, but it's more than good enough. I paired it with a good DA. For voice get the 200 and above.
Thanks for the honest and balanced review. I appreciate you telling it straight. Because I am low on desk space and already have nice headphones for audiophile listening I decided to pass and go with something more high volume and bassy. I'll look at the Logitech model and others.
Welcome :)
can you suggest a good quality bluetooth receiver for this speaker? the ones i found on amazon india and flipkart had complaints of sub-standard audio quality. thanks.
Why wont they sound great if the sub is kept under the table?
Bro..sorry for misunderstanding i don't know its wooden..any way i want to know then which is better in between f&d and this in all departmant...like bass. clear sound when i play higher level.and most important value for money in this two brands
This is the best value for money. If you're serious about speakers, then don't buy one which doesn't have tweeters, without tweeters there's no clarity in the highs, which really makes a difference. Wood doesn't affect the sound that much, the quality of drivers is way more important. This won't have as much bass as those cheap speakers, but what it has is a very high quality and balanced bass. Check out the reviews on Amazon India and Amazon US and you'll hardly find anyone being disappointed with these. Also, F&D is not even a serious audio brand, while Swans has great presence and is respected worldwide amongst audiophiles.
What about the Edifier XM6BT? I will like to see the comparison video of Edifier XM6BT and Swans M10...
Sir , Based on your review i bought swans M10. Thanks for your advice. It sounds great connected to my phone. But there is little inconvenience without bluetooth feature. Can this be fixed with Amazon Echo dot. Please advice can i purchase Amazon' Echo Dot for bluetooth feature to work. Awaiting your reply.
your reviews are really good. try testing swans m200a
Bose is too much overhyped. Swans, Polk audio, etc are the best. And to be honest these deserve a good DAC like the SCHIIT magna-modi
Yes, it's quite surprising that these speakers are good enough to deserve a good DAC.
Hey Gondi, he sound test would have been nice???????
hi man i brought these based on your reviews i dunno if its my unit the subs make a weird humming noise at certain low end frequencies do you have the same problem? it mostly happens during tool songs especially right in two should i replace them ?
Yeah, it does make some extra noise in certain songs if you have them at high volume. If it is happening in a track that you'd normally listen to at its usual volume of listening, you could consider replacing it. For me, it never made extra noises in general use, only when I pushed it very high in volume on tracks like The XX - Sunset
@@TechReflex i guess the sub is like that only i will upgrade to a dedicated sub in future if you know some cheap sub please let me know btw thanks for the reply
How do these compare against Swans D-1010-IV?
Haven't tried them, but I'd guess these will have more bass due to dedicated sub, while D1010 IV will have better sound stage and balance.
Been using them since last 4 years..they are awsome!
I have a Panasonic TV which has both 3.5 mm audio port and a coaxial digital audio port.
Shall I buy fiio D03K to connect it to coaxial port?
Will there be any improvement in sound quality over plugging it directly to 3.5 mm port.
Also I have FiiO E10k. can I use it in the above case or do I have to buy D03K?
Please reply
Yeah d03k will definitely sound better than TV. it sounded almost as good as E10K to my ears. You can't use E10K as it doesn't have coax input, the coax port on it is an output.
@@TechReflex thank you for clearing my doubts. I love my M10s , but in case if I decide to upgrade to a new speaker, can you suggest other brands in that price range.
@@maverickmau9940 It's not worth upgrading to a new speaker unless you are at least spending double of Swans m10. I upgraded to Mackie CR5, which is a 2.0 system, and in pretty happy with it, but you can also go for Swans own higher end speakers like m50w.
@@TechReflex I'm not a fan of 2.0 system. A subwoofer adds that punch in the bass in my opinion.
Anyway thanks again.you rock!
Can you make a video explaining 'Hi Res' audio. I mean What's the reality, how much difference does it make?
It makes zero difference, and everyone should ignore that logo. Good idea though, I could make a video on that. Thanks.
TechReflex yeah it seems so to me as well.
Thanks for quick response 👍
Can these be used for monitoring purpose?
Is the M10 good for a small room just to listening some rap music on my pc ? Whats about deep bass on the M10 ? I dont expect heavy bass which will make my house vibrate but still want a bit deep bass to feel it when i'm listening rap music like 21 savage xD
Thx for that amazing review
Thanks, it is perfect for that. In fact, in small rooms, you can face issues with large driver speakers and cause bass cancellation. So this one is perfect, also goes more than low enough for rap.
which website rating are you referring to,can you give me the link,and what was one the first rank if these were one second
As I mentioned in the review, it's head-fi.org. link to the Swan m10 page here: www.head-fi.org/showcase/swan-m10.12363/
However, the rating isn't as relevant now, as they've also included Bluetooth speakers. The #1 speaker was a Klipsch speaker which cost $500. Again, these are of course not the 2nd best PC speaker ever, just a VERY good speaker for the price, and one of the best deals in audio.
I would like to connect this speaker with mi tv 4. But how? Kindly give options bro. One more question. If we switch off the speaker and on is it start works without pressing power button? I have a panasonic speaker it won't switch on before hitting the power button either on remote or on the physical button on speaker.
You'll need a DAC for Mi TV which converts coaxial to analog like this (amzn.to/2G4PipN ), or cheaper option (amzn.to/2DRNnit ). The speaker powers on the moment electricity is supplied (and the switch at the back is 'on'). You can also use a Bluetooth adapter, and connect this to TV using Bluetooth.
thanks a lot bro. Can you give me bluetooth adapter options costly to cheap bro .
Hi, bought these recently.. how to connect it to Sony led tv.. pls advice. Sony tv doesn't have a 3.5mm jack
Fiio D03K
@@TechReflex Thanks for the reply.. they sound very ordinary even in 100%volume when connected to my phone thru 3.5mm jack.. will the sound improve significantly when connected to a dac.. pls advice
Hello Bro, For Music and Multimedia listening which one would your recomend . JBL 104 BT OR Swans M10. Currently both are priced same. Would really appreciate your response .. Thanks in advance.
PS: I am leaning towards JBL coz it has blutooth inbuilt. If I go with Swans I have to purchase blutooth device seperately. But JBL is lacking in deep bass. Are the sub bass in Swans M10 better then JBL?
Yeah i think Swans m10 should be better, would personally go for it, unless you really need bluetooth.
@@TechReflex Thanks Bro. Yes, I will be hooking it up with Echo Dot for Bluetooth function.
This or edifier 1280db? For home casual listening and sometimes for content creation
Hi bro planning to buy SWANS HiVi M50WMKiii, wat u feel abt SWANS HiVi M50WMKiii plz advice
I'm confused between swan m10 & Edifire r1700bt can you please compare them..
Both are very different products, one is a 2.0 system, and one is 2.1, while I haven't tried it, I personally like 2.0 systems more than 2.1. Edifier also has 4 inch drivers, while swans is more like 3 inch + 5 inch sub. Edifier would also work better if used as TV speakers.
I have both. I much prefer the sound of the M10s, the bass texture is just superior and treble is absolutely perfect on the M10s. Edifiers are better for movies as they have slightly boomy bass and better suited for movies, they have bluetooth and a remote too so keep that in mind. Soundwise, M10s. Featurewise, edifiers take the cake
Hai Tech Reflex...
what is your opinion on Swan D 1080 iv
They should be really great, the new version also looks a lot better and comes with Bluetooth.
Thank you TechReflex
👍
I just bought these yesterday and they don't sound that great. Could it be because of the cheap cables?
Let them burn in for some time, 25-30 hours.
How long will they last?
Still working for me after 4-5 years.
Are they still relevant in 2022, or are there any better alternatives at this price ?
They are. JBL's New budget studio monitors are also good, forgot their name, they look like capsules.
@@TechReflex Can the sub woofer be placed on the floor (lack of space on the desk), or should I go with tthe JBL 104-BT speakers which are 2.0 ?
It has two Bass Reflex Ports??
Yep
Is imthis best for music production
No way......6000.it is too much pricy.and not wooden cabinat. better you go to f&d specially in bass area and rs.3000 or 2500.
hahaha
Review obage ht 144
How does it compare against JBL 104BT, i know it doesnt have subwoofer still asking to know about it
This should be better, even though I haven't tried 104. It does have a nice subwoofer, and is kind of a 3 way system.
@@TechReflex WDY mean by 3
way system
Why are you so biased towards recommending swans over z623s
Ignoring my own experience, and experience of other people who've had/tried both of them, do you really think that I have to be biased to recommend Swans over a pair of speakers with dummy tweeters?
TechReflex oh god what dummy tweeters? There are no tweeters in Logitech. Only dummies think that there is a tweeter hiding behind that "thx" Branding. Anyways i am still confused between z625 and m10
Definition of 'dummy' = 'an object designed to resemble and serve as a substitute for the real or usual one'. So what I said does not mean that I am under the impression of there being a tweeter behind the THX branding, but that Logitech has designed that speaker, and has put that cut out in place of a tweeter, to make it resemble a speaker with actual tweeters. Also, THX branding is marketing BS, just liked 'Hi Res Audio', and Logitech is not even a serious brand when it comes to audiophile grade equipment, both, in headphones, and in speakers, unlike Swans. There is a big difference between Logitech's full range drivers with an overpowered sub, and a proper 2 way crossover unit + sub in Swans, which will take too long to get into.
The two products are designed for completely different kind of consumer. Logitech for the people who want volume and want to feel that overpowering bass, and Swans for people interested in understanding what a proper set of speakers sounds like, and want to get a taste of what the 'audiophile' thing is about.
So yeah, in terms of audio quality, obviously the Swans are better. Though if you are that Volume + OP bass guy, feel free to go with Z623 or any other Logitech model.
TechReflex swans and z625 both are very Directional? I have a big hall 250 sq ft . And main priority is music songs not movie/games. Swans m10 works fine in india without any adapter?
How about f&d,sony or philips in between these two?
Is ebay safe to buy??
Yes. I bought from eBay too, just make sure the seller is "proaudiohome" as they are the official retailer who also sell this on Amazon. Also don't forget to use 8-10% off coupon code.
TechReflex ... ordered at 6450..with discount..bro am I making right choice or not plz let me know other option is Logitech 625
Yeah you've really made the right choice. These will be much better than Z625 in sound quality, which don't even have tweeters. Check out the comments here in this video, you'll find people getting z625 and being very dissatisfied with them.
TechReflex...thanks a lot bro for ur valuable comment..
I have bought them for rs7500 last year😀😀
It was Rs. 6251 for me with eBay discounts. :)
ankit negi then you are an idiot bcoz in 5000 price range you can find better options available like f&d in 3000. Much better then this ugly speaker.
@@mohmedmogal3372 Are you listening to yourself? Objectively, these are better speakers than any F & D. They have better clarity, instrument separation and a balanced frequency reponse. Subjectively, you may prefer the higher volume and boosted bass of most consumer speakers but that doesnt make the other guy an idiot. Do not be a troll, that too a misinformed one.
@@mohmedmogal3372 Lol dude are you serious? I had F&Ds earlier and it can t even come close to the audio quality of the m10s. Huge difference. If anybody is an idiot here , it is you..
@@adamsmith9288 oh.. Really I think u are a fan of this brand otherwise jbl sub brand.infinity.have great sound and cheper then this and again I say swans have good sound but it's price is too high so value for money is f&d and have good sound too
You need some expressions and emotions while speaking
