I dont understand why so many s2000pro reviews on youtube complaining about the long cable..they gave u extra long cable and u complain?? Seriously i dont get it..it always better to have long cable rather than short cable...however, i agree on the remote design..it dont have to be that long, top sharp edges, and the rounded bottom design make it rocking side to side when u place the remote on the table..its kinda annoying..but its not a big deal..hope edifier take note on that
100% agree. BTW is an impressive cable. I agree with the remote control... the thing is that these are the weakness is a big recommendation for these speakers.
Because they’re idiots
because it's unnecessarily long, why not give a 5.1ft cable and a 10 ft cable so you can decide which one to use, it's bad design, is as if people complained that a chair is really really big, i'ts more space to sit on so it should be better right?
The power cable is short.
I agree that it's better to have a cable that's longer than you need than it is to have a cable that's too short. And it doesn't take much effort to curl the excess cable up and stash it behind your desk/equipment.
My only complaint is that, since the Edifier speaker cables are proprietary, and since they sell spare cables on their website, it would be nice if they offered different length cables as an option. As I'm writing this, the only cables Edifier offers are 5m/16ft.
Regarding the remote: the remote supplied with the s1000Pros is much more ergonomic than the remote supplied with the s2000Pros. Even the remote supplied with the s3000Pros (while larger than it needs to be) is much more comfortable to hold.
I love mine, had for about 2 weeks they are beginning to sound much fuller and dynamic with use these speakers have given my
music library a whole new perspective regardless of music type, i'm hearing things I never heard.. even with artist I've had for 40 years!
Edifier was my PC speaker long long time ago. I heard they bought STAX in Japan several years ago. They are audiophiles quality today.
I bought the s2000mkiii Remote problem solved. The Bluetooth 5.0 is amazing. I use Amazon HD for streaming and I cannot tell the difference between streaming and CD. They also work great for my record player. No USB plug but you can just use the headphone jack on your computer. For 399 these are a steal.
Far and away the best review i have seen regarding these speakers..
I have seen Edifier speakers in shops, coffee shops etc, where the speakers are located at both ends of the room. For these situation the long cable supplied is good enough. This is a situation where the speakers are not used as desktop monitors and perform very well for giving good sound ambient music for customer.
Great, detailed review. No one gives as much informative info as Audioholics.
If you drive these speakers with the line level outputs from your PC, usually called 'speaker' output, and if your soundcard hardware and its software allows for it, you can use bass management from the PC and use a sub, it's how I them set up and it works well enough. You select for a 5.1 system and set center and surrounds to 'none', and mains to small, then go to room correction to set the level. I've found there's a lot of variability in soundcard software even for the very common 'realtek' versions of builtin soundcards. The generic Windows properties allows for these settings if the card supports the functions. All of that said, I went to review the settings on one of my PCs to make sure I wasn't lying about any of this and this is right, BUT, in the setup process, you can click on a diagram with the various speakers and sub to test and a test sound plays, all of that worked, including the sub, but playing a music track or movie, the sub isn't getting a signal.!!!! Arrrrgggghhh, it was working a few days ago, this is when you learn to really appreciate the concept of defenestration.
I’ve got the Edifier S1000MKII speakers. They look almost the same as these S2000 speakers. The sound output is magnificent and just perfect for home use. I’ve got mine hooked up to a TV via the toslink input, to a vinyl record player via one of the RCA inputs and to a BluRay player via the coaxial input (for playing CD’s). Of course, I can also play DVD’s and BluRay discs as normal.
The second RCA input is a spare that I can use to hook up my phone or iPad if I want to. And finally, the v5 Bluetooth input makes these speakers incredibly versatile and I sometimes run the sound from my laptop through them using Bluetooth.
Sound bars are old hat now. They served a purpose for a time but nowadays these Edifiers (the S3000Pro, the S2000Pro the S1000MKII or even the very nice piano black R2000DB (which my daughter and her husband have) are the way to go, especially for the price.
I’ve also got the Edifier R1855DB’s in another room. They’re not quite up there with the S1000MKII but I can not fault them.
Great video and the drumming at the end was a nice touch!
I've never in my life had an issue with a cable being too long. Only the reverse. Definitely need the subwoofer output though.
One of the best reviews I have seen so far. I am in the market and seriously considering Edifier. I started really low, now going as high as S2000 Pro. I plan to connect my turntable which has a Pre-Amp and RCA out. Any thoughts would be highly appreciated.
You mentioned the smaller 4" driver. Discussing how jumping up to 6" or 8" affects the sound presentation may be illuminating... I have both Audioengine 5+ and Monoprice Monolith 8 and I'm sold on active. The 2018 CES show commentary/critique you did on active speakers were spot on. :) Glad to hear/see the synergy of amp and speaker evolving.
Hi Gene, your review made me go for this set and I must say that I'm very thankful for it. I needed a replacement for a Bose Companion 5 because the USB connection started going bad. After setting up the system and getting the first sounds out I got really happy. Also I must say that every little detail in your review is true and valuable information, anyone watching it should pay close attention. The biggest pain is the remote control wobbling around on your desk and yes I could probably kill someone with it. The cables are behind my desk so I personally don't have an issue with it but I agree, they are way too long in 95% of the situations. I was wondering if you could use an active subwoofer with the output from a 2.1/5.1 soundcard of a computer. Then again for the typical "PC" applications sometimes too much bass is not good either. Anyone playing games, watching video's/movies on PC, listening music while doing other stuff ... this is heaven and possibly overkill in level of quality, it blows the Bose Companion 5 and anything else in that price category to smithereens with a 30mm cannon. I was very lucky since when I bought them in my favorite webshop there was a bargain at 250€ instead of 450€. Imagine the value/€ !!! Edifier now released the S3000 Pro set with twice the output power. Think you could review that set?
I needed all of the 16' so luckily they made it that long
I have been using Edifier for many years. They make great speakers for a reasonable price. Bought my first pair in 1998 for $125.00, sold them last year for $150.00.
They also make STAX headphones.
Perhaps you’ll get your hands of a pair of Edifier’s newer S3000 Pro speakers. Would love to hear your impressions. Great video!
12" or 15" speakers? Does size matter? Watch this comparison th-cam.com/video/zNYoycPMvxc/w-d-xo.html
Great unbiased review, you mentioned all the cons and pro's of the speaker and I think Edifier was taking a note on this regard and introduces the Edifier S3000 Pro wireless active speakers. It's been featured in CES 2019. I would like to watch your honest review on this one and would like to purchase one if your review turns out to be great again. Eliminating that hated extra long cable is a great deal and features a 6.5" (179mm) aluminium alloy diaphragm bass unit and boasts a 256 watts total RMS output and a planar silk tweeters for incredible acoustic reach, that's incredible. But until you will have a review on these new speakers, I will not buy them. Some says it's a KEF, Yamaha, SVS Prime, etc. wireless speaker killer and with it's price range some speakers could be a rip-off. If the sound stage level of these new speaker is the same or better than the S2000 Pro, I will not blink to buy it. I'm enabling notifications on these review and I couldn't wait to watch and share it my friends too. PS. Your drum skills match the performance of these speakers. hahaha.
Excellent review. Keen to see what else compares to the KEF LS50W.
You think these compare to the ls50w :)
More powered speakers and more wireless speaker reviews! Some big companies are going wireless and claiming lossless signals. Powered speakers are the way to go "on paper" and my experience with speakers such as the Paradigm Shift has been good for the $.
I have a cheaper pair of Edifiers and I can say I'm quite impressed by these guys.
I love the review, especially the ending! I have as well a set of E-Drums and I think it would go perfect with these speakers. Can you review the Edifier S3000 pro?
Please could you review the KEF LS50W in your forthcoming Powered Speakers reviews.
please no kef shit
@@waterkant999 why? I'm just getting into this and it seems like kef is pretty good.
I own these speakers and I love them, for me the minus is the no sub out, could be a bit louder and the big remote. Thx for the tip with Chlara! Also try Yao Si Ting and of course Hayley Westenra - Scarborough Fair! :)
Can you review Edifier S 3000 pro please?
Great vid, Gene. Very informative. Would you review the Kanto YU6, which looks very similar to the Edifier in features but also has a phono stage? Keep up the good work.
Edifier is a very good product.!! Good to know that you have made a review !!
Amazing, in-depth review brother
Would love to see you review the s3000pro.
Can you connect it to a turntable like an audio technica stereo turntable?
Thanks for the detailed review
Edifier is famous here in Brasil, and is generaly used as monitors for small home studios.
I'm late but I'd like to nominate this as review of the year, it was good and enjoyable... 👍👍👍👍👍
Good drumming Gene! 👍
Haha, thanks but I'm a rank amateur but it's find to get the stress out.
I used Edifier active speakers for a few years now, as desktop speakers. And for these I use Asus Xonar Essence STX through high-end RCA-cable. My current Edifier model is Studio 1600TIII 2.0.
Now I am very intrested to replace them with Edifier S2000 Pro, it might be a huge difference.
Great review Gene, any chance youre still going to look into more Edifier products? I see nothing but good things about the S2000mkiii, which looks to be a direct upgrade to the S2000pro. Albeit, minus the balanced cable options and again no subout, but it seems it produces the lower end very well and extends quite deep for a 5 1/2 woofer. Always good to hear your thoughts.
Gene where is the review video on these? Measurements etc?
Hi I’m a newbie, but did you say you connected these speakers to you’re integrated amp’s preamp? I thought that was a no-no, connecting powered speakers to an amp?
Great thorough review!
Great review . New subscriber and thank you !!!
I'd be very interested in a powered-speaker-shootout, either in this pricepoint, or in the $150 entry point, where the choices and competition seem head-swimmingly strong.
Have you heard the S3000pro? They are amazing
Try to get a hold of a pair of the Vanito T0 active monitors if you can. They cost about the same as these speakers, but have a subwoofer output.
Cool review about this set of speakers. I have them and i am very happy with them.
I would like to see a review of airpulse a200. Airpulse is a brand coordened by Phil Jones and belongs to edifier.
By the way, what is your living room system? Looks really cool.
Live long and prosper, excellent video Sir👊
I have the edifier r2730db and the problems i had are the toslink connection is not working properly and on the left speaker the woofer is leaking air. But bass is ok till 33-35hz, and they have the sub out which is why i got those, and i paid ~200$ which is really good.
Hello Gene, I know this is an "old" video, but I was wondering if there is a possibility of you reviewing the S3000 pro. Seems like it is quite similar to the S2000 pro but with some enhancements. Your point of view on it would be really welcome for me and many others. Thanks!
I just got the Edifier s2000mkiii. If I’m sometimes using an audio interface, would the r2000pro serve me any better for that purpose? With the s2000mkiii, I used an xlr to rca cable to connect, but...yeah. Not ideal as the gain has to be turned up all the way. I’ve looked, and haven’t heard much about the xlr inputs. I just heard it was meant for a mixer. I could be mistaken, but I imagine an audio interface wouldn’t be that much different. The Bluetooth 5.0 is mostly what attracted me to the mkiii. Because:..I’m not always gong to be using it with the audio interface. Trying to use not as an all-purpose active speaker in a medium to small space.
I use Edifier stuff since 2004. Great stuff at good price. Check the Phil Jones's Airpulse A200/Model-1, also by Edifier (Airpulse is created and owned by Edifier, it's like their high-end/research branch, the S2000 Pro uses tech from an Airpulse speaker, and Edifier Russia offers the A200 in their page and Edifier China offers separately the Edifier and Airpulse speakers and they have 3 models and the A200 is in the middle in size!).
Penzonor They really look interesting and in that one the sub is 5", so is not so small either!
S3000 pro review please!
Hi...thx for this great review...I’ve been looking at them...Please review the Vanatoo Transparent Zero active speakers...I would really like to see your expert breakdown...I hear good things about the T 0’s...thx for your awesome reviews!
It would be great if you would review some Bluesound wireless speakers.
I have a pair of vanatoo zero as my desktop solution and they sound great listen to a lot of music at my desktop and movies. wonder how you think these are in this scenario.maybe soundbar solution for bedroom.
I have the 99 dollar r1280t and for the price they are awesome. All of my non-audiophile friends think they are the best thing ever.
I currently use the cheaper and I think the best selling Edifier Pc speakers w/c is the R1280DB and still loving it.. It doesn't sound boring and can play great on most genre I throw on it.. :)
The only thing holding me back from purchasing the S2000 PRO speakers is that these do not have SUBWOOFER output. Many of the competitors' products of this price range have it. Does anyone know if there is an updated version coming out any time soon that might have that simple extra feature?
Great review on this smart cost produce. Would like to learn and hear more about equipment for my computer and if getting High res downloads are worth it. Thanks.
Great work. Plz post more reviews.
At last a LONG cable...i love it.
Yes, gives you options.
Exactly!
Good in depth review but the complaints about the cable and remote are a bit rough. I'd be happy as Larry with that much cable and find some way to hide it and the remote looks class and stylish, not like the cheap credit card remotes you get with similar systems. Too much is better then not enough imo
Found some used ones at a thift store i was blown away nothing wrong with them. 10$!!! Beat speakers i own it has the red and black screw pressure thingys lol you can youse your own cable
Great review. Great monitors. Could you recommend a similar pair that has the sub output?
Edifier S350DB Bookshelf Speaker and Subwoofer 2.1 Speaker System Bluetooth v4.1 aptX Wireless Sound for Computer Rooms, Living Rooms and Dens www.amazon.com/dp/B077Y6PHKQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Hm2cEbHV939JB
What do you recommend in this price range for a good near field solution WITH a subwoofer out.
Just found you on TH-cam subscribed and liking your style
Can I use these on my Vizio e55f2?
thank you for touching on the fact that there's no sub output. doesn't make sense to me either. Is there a way to add a sub to these speakers via an audio interface or just by using y splitters?
This is a great review! Could anyone compare this with something like the Jbl link 500 or Google home max?
I'm coming from the edifier 1700bt's.. is it worth upgrading to the s2000's?
Hi, im in the same situation looking to upgrade my r1700bt. Did you end up buying the s2000 and would you recommend it?
Do the edifier s2000mkiii . Great video 🥲
Will these work if i'm playing music from my phone to my 1994 receiver using a BT adapter? Thoughts?
What does the balance button do?
Wonderful review I would like to hear more about the svs powered Speakers. I have the prime towers the first time I expected hi-fi I enjoyed. The depth
WE plan on reviewing them when they become available.
Audioholics I am only aware of them because of your comprehension coverage. Looking forward to hearing/seeing more
For someone who doesn´t WORK with music, but is just an audiophile who enjoys LISTENING to it, plus wants the best out of gaming, is this STILL the best choice from Edifier( or a better recommendation from competition) or is there a cheaper model with less (professional) features and equal quality ?
I am basically looking for ´the i8700K´ of speakers, not the i7980Extreme.
Don´t mind spending a lot, but I do mind spending on something I might not fully take advantage of.
You may try the cheaper R1850DB. It has a bunch of connectivity options like RCA, Optical/Coax, and Bluetooth plus a sub pre-out.. Its loud enough for a pc speaker :)
What a great review
Is this the best for most frequency full spectrum music . I want to hear things in my music. . I learnt over a sound bar this type speaker is better to hear my music at any volume. Learnt this recently
Which is better between swans m200mk3 or s2000 pro?
Hi, want to ask your opinion, what do you think about Q Acoustic 3020 compare with edifier s2000db pro? Which is better between this 2 brands
Great review, very informative, thank you.
Can you review the Kanto YU6? I like what I hear about the s2000pro but the YU6 have better aesthetics and a sub out.
Cant Decide: Swan 200 MKIII, The new Mackie that is 400$,Edifer 2000 pro or JBL with the 6 inch
ANY thoughts?
Any own/hear them all or have advice?
I LOVE everything about the Swans BUT hear constantly hear they break/get a hum after 1 year or less and NEVER get fixed
I currently have klipsch thx 2.1 with sub. Do you think these will sound better? I am not an audiophile, just want better sound.
Microlabs Solo 8c's speakers are similar and sound amazing too
Edifier... Please collaborate and add wifi connectivity, HDMI input and Dolby Atmos dsp processor. Maybe create a center channel dolby Atmos brain. Than allow consumers to add different left/right front and rears wireless satellites. Replace and dominate the current crop of soundbars that are out there.
"Power supply went bad and they were humming" Urgh, that's exactly what my Kef x300a USB PC speakers are doing, switching it off and on again often gets rid of it for a short time. I thought from what I could find from googling was that it was coming from interference from the pc or router :S Now you have me thinking its the power supply within them :( of course, this all started happening right outside of its warranty period, all of 1 year and I don't live anywhere near a service center.
What are you using for a headphone amp/DAC?
This is what you get on Amazon...Currently unavailable.
We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.
Yea weird. As soon as I published this review, I noticed this product is not available on Edifier's website or Amazon....
I see the SPJC Certificate on the wall. Do you still live in the St. Pete area? I grew up in Pinellas County. Iv'e been watching of several of your videos [Home Theater/ Receiver] lately and appreciate your knowledge and honest reviews. I'm looking at getting the R1850BD or R1700BT for my computer desk along with a Schiit DAC. The S2000's are too big.
.
I live about 1hr north of St. Pete now.
A year ago, I bought the R1850DB set. I won't compare apples and oranges, because the quality of the 2000Pro reviewed here is bound to be higher. That said, in a mid-size room, I've been quite happy with my speakers. Loud enough and good sound. I also ran the optical to the TV for sound improvement vs inboard TV speakers. Just recently, I added a powered sub. Not that I really felt that they were lacking... But yes now I can literally rattle the windows, not that I really like that... But below that, the deeper bass is cool. Very, very versatile. Additionally I discovered an EQ in Spotify so that allows me to further customize the sound. In sum, the R1850DB set is an incredible versatile feature-packed value.
Oh i know i have a denon receiver and sonace surround and sub. Its lower line though
How does the Swan M200MKIII compare to the LSR305s?
Will you please review the klipsch Rp160m?
What preamp and sad does he use?
I just purchased the Edifier SD150db 2.1 system, and can’t say enough good things about them. I feel like I have a $2000 system, and spent $300.
How do these compare to Audio Engine 5+ speakers?
They're both capable speakers, s2000's have larger bass extension though.
Edifiers getting Pretty Popular esp the 1280 n 1700 models at $120-$150 - Soundbar alternatives and Desktop use.
I like more Budget Sensible $ Stuff y’all Done lately like this and the $1000 5.1
These, Mackie or Swan Mark III ?
Awesome video, and some good chops to finish with.
Can you review the JAMO C103s?
Great channel. I have to ask...what do you have in your car for sound?
My BMW M240i stock audio system is vile. I'm in the process of upgrading it to JL Audio electronics and Morel drivers. I will do a video on it soon. Stay tuned..
Audioholics I love my jl amp and sub. Pioneer head unit and looking to upgrade my highs. I looked at morel but the are a little pricey.
Can't wait to see the video. Are you going to install it?
I have a company doing the install for me but will include some footage. Yea I'm excited bc the stock system is just making my ears bleed. Luckily my car has a good engine note with the B58 ;)
What if I want to use the speaker in my living room left & right corner beside my 65in 4K TV. This is where I would need the speakers to be far apart (say 10 feet) & would need 3 feet of wire going down from from the speaker to the floor & on to the other speaker 3 feet of wire going up to the speaker that sits at the TV height.
Exactly
