- Checking out the Edifier 1700BTs Bluetooth bookshelf speakers. I've been using these speakers for a few months now - I use these for everything from listening to music, watching movies, to editing videos. These could be some of the best computer speakers I've personally used, and all for under $200. Check out the video for the full long term review.

awesome video! very nice quality and easy to watch. i just bought the edifier r2000db today! been watching tons of TH-cam videos today and this was a nice watch! just recently getting into pc gaming so i went all out and got a nice headset, amp, dac, and wanted a nice pair of desk speakers. looking forward to some more videos from you!
Definitely some of the best looking speakers! But these slider shots are too dangerous bro! Nice work as always Kyle 🔥
Awesome video! I just got me the Edifier R1280DB and they sound great! However, I'm looking forward to getting me another pair of speakers for my 2nd setup! Your video was really helpful! Thanks!
I’ve had a set of these for a while now. Love them. I mostly use them as “monitors” for music production. Couldn’t fit full size monitors on my desk and these fit the bill perfectly. Highly recommend.
these cannot be used as monitor because they don't have a flat response. you would be better off with jbl 305
@@georgesmith3022 For sure. That's why I had monitors in quotes :) Not ideal, but better than always wearing headphones. The JBL 305's look nice!
@@georgesmith3022 they are very flat, check the measurements found in some reviews. jbl 305 are also a lot more expensive. at this range only alesis or presonus have monitors and they're not as good as these but they do have balanced trs inputs in addition to rca
Why did you picked the R1700BT and not the MR4 instead? Similar prices and MR4 have a flat response
@@MisterRhulmr4 might have a flatter response but it's not flat
that's an awesome review and just whole video production. thanks for sharing your thoughts. just ordered it. greets from Moscow
Thank you for your review. I'm considering having one pair.
I have the R1850DB in piano black and absolutely love them!
Dude side note totally separate from the speakers. I'm totally blown away by the production quality of your video. I am so surprised that your channel doesn't have at least x50 the number of viewers.
Anyways, thanks for the thorough review. It was reassuring and echoes some of the things I'm hearing in other reviews, but I did especially enjoy your presentation. Looking forward to these arriving this week!
Thanks very much for the comment!
Yeah he killed it, from start to finish.
Just got a set of the 1700 bt , I have other speakers but none were blue tooth , they sound good for the price and after 2 days of listening I'd say that they're hard to beat for the money
just purchased these loved it using 10-25% volume on full on edifier
I have a set of these in my den. I hooked mine up to a modest Yamaha subwoofer, and the sound is awesome. They sit on top of my main tower speakers that are awesome sounding audiophile "beasts" that cost at least four times as much. However, the Edifier R1700BTs are surprisingly clear, with very good sound-staging, spacing and pace, rhythm and timing. Sometimes I confuse them with my towers. That's how good the Edifiers are. Also, I got mine brand new from Amazon for only $129 on sale. I can't imagine a better audiophile experience for such a small amount of money.
Look at that slider shot 😉
Great video Kyle 🤘
Thanks dude!
Nice video. I’m probably going to get the S360DB 2.1’s. I really like the aesthetics of those and from what I gather the wooden finish is a bit darker which will fit in nicely with the setup I want. The sub is wireless too. This was still a valuable watch so thanks. 😌
Lost me at “I haven’t listened to loud music in forever”. Why would I take advice from anyone that doesn’t jam out on 11.
Yeam i am leaning towards that too, but its finish will not match my setup.
Right now it's around 100$ (in Pakistan), and great quality for the price - I wanted them for the wood aesthetic mainly
Great review my man! SUBED!
That's a great review. Will keep this in choice. BTW you look like Bjorn Ironside from Vikings played by Alexzender Ludwig.
Goddamn, at first glance I thought you are Bjorn Ironside from Vikings! (take it as compliment), great review, I am considering buying them to refresh my audio experience! Cheers!
Exactly my thoughts
i need a remote at all time and it is a must for me!!!
I have 1280's for my TV and computer set up and I never crank it over 50%. Edifiers are a great brand at a great price.
It's a year later- how do they hold up?? I've been strongly considering getting a pair of the 4.5-5" Bluetooth speakers. I'll mainly be listening to music via Bluetooth, listening to vinyl, and doing some light playback / mixing for home recording. Would you recommend?
@@dalekay9inemines 2.5 years just upgraded to the r1700bts having second thoughts really miss the 1280db
Hi where can i get the little metal things u use to plug the holes from taking the cover off? Cant find them , dont know what they are called ,? Please help ☺️
Nice, clear and straightforward video.
Planning on pairing these with a Sony PSLX310BT turntable.
I am planning on doing the same ..did you do it ? How is it sound?
@@manwlhsalexandrhs776 Hi,
Yes i did get them.
For the size that they are, they not only look good, but the sound is really punchy.
Happy with my purchase, and would 100% reccommend.
@@nycsox987 nice perfect man thank you ... I've already ordered them 😄 ..have you tested both bt and with cable ?
I am to. Did you do this?
Love Edifier
your audio does sound great :)
i have the R1850DB they sound just amazing even w/o a subwoofer for my dell precision T7810 system & value so much better than my bose companion 5 system...
I noticed that the 1850s have the old Bluetooth 4.1 version, because they haven't been upgraded. But I love the addition of Optical input in the 1850 which is missing from the 1700bts :(
Is it normal for these speakers to have a hissing sound if volume is near max and spatial mode turned on?
Hi Kyle, thanks for this video, would you recommend these speakers to be used with Windows? Bluetooth, mostly zoon video calls, Spotify, etc.
I have the R1900TIII... For 12 years! Cost me $130 here in China 😎
those b-rolls are beautiful and I think you have new fan me. Btw like your style sir, just continue with that you are began. And I have almost similar speakers to you. (EDIFIER R1280T)
Thanks for watching! Those models are also great!
@@KyleErickson yeah I like them a lot
I have these for about 4-5 years now but recently they won't connect through Bluetooth to my phone. They work fine with my macbook but won't work with my phone even though every other device I own connects
Can I connect those speakers to my mixer Behringer Q1002
Magnat Transpuls 800A or Edifier S3000Pro? Wich ones would you choose?
cool stuff bro
I have these speakers with a T5 Subwoofer. They definitely sound amazing. Btw, Does anyone know how to make these speakers sound flat?
would you rather have these or the klipsch
I had them for 7 years still working great, Great sound
Can you confirm:
1. Bluetooth cannot be disabled. People can connect to your speakers all the time (crowded city).
2. There is no way to turn the speakers on without the remote. Is it true? Or is it true just for bluetooth?
@@MorkusReX I use them I dont use remote at all, Bluetooth I dont remember as I don't use Bluetooth
@@matthias100
Thanks. Sadly others already confirmed bluetooth cannot be disabled. A deal breaker in the city..
@@MorkusReX but if you are connected no one can connect unless you disconnect
@@matthias100
I will not use bluetooth though.. just line in. And I don't want random people to connect to my speakers. I wish there was a non-BT R1700, or at least they don't sell one here.
Tinnitus is nasty . I have the small ones , are these worth the upgrade because I find the small ones are lacking in the base .
Hello, you said the remote gets scratched very easily. I guess you took of the protective film already after a year now right;😅
With this model can you connect any subwoofer or dose it have to be Edifier brand?
Would they be good for metal music?
What kind of turntable would you air with these?
Does anyone's r1700bt make a hissing sound at high volume?
Whats the optimal treble & bass settings for you
I looked at powered speakers, then I kept seeing these Sony SSCS5 paired them with a Fossi Audio BT 10 Amp and wow what a great sound. Got the speakers for $75 and the Amp for $70. Not bad for under $150
Nice and short 👍
Valuable points covered😊. Would you recommend them over similar budget speakers like polkaudio T15, presonus eris 3.5 for casual listening as it's bit confusing which one to go for..
I love them tbh. Can't really go wrong grabbing these. I also know a lot of folks who use the R1280's too and love them.
What about sound from these by aux? I think about them as a speakers for PS5 (with monitor LG GN-950 )😂😂
Anyone knows? Will this work? Cheers
hi, I'm planning to buy for my TV, Do we need to manually\physically increase the volume of speakers for every time we turn on the speakers\TV?
I think you should be able to control it with your TV - I don't use the volume controls much on mine on my Mac, I just use the mac volume controls. I'm not 100% certain on that depending on how you've got it setup and what TV you use, etc.
Anyone have experience or thoughts about edifier r2750db? Planning to buy 🙂
Why don’t you just connect them to your Mac mini with Aux?
Great video! Would the R2750DB be a better option or would the R1855DB be enough for a 20 square-meter living room? Thanks.
Get the r1855db + the edifier mr4 for studio monitor clarity, you can change between both based on what you want to listen to. Details or general listening. R2750db is expensive but can never get the detailed sound of a studio monitor, and the 1855db is good enough for your intended use.
If you buy the r2750db you'll go further down the rabbit hole and eventually upgrade to something more expensive.
I have a pair of R1700bts, and a pair of R2850db. Love them both😊
How does this compare vs the R1855db?
Just got mine today; they're awesome! But, I'm constantly trying to adjust them for random music I stream through my phone (I'd prefer not to bother the knobs on the side.) Does anyone know a good general app or setting for these? It's my first time owning bookshelf speakers.
Just use the remote
why stereo not active.. No different left and right..
hearing the sound test from an r1700bt lol!
Which one would you recommend and why? 1280dbs or 1700bts? I couldn't decide yet between these two speakers.
I think they're relatively the same, tbh - I'd just pick the one you prefer the look of, but I think the difference in sound is probably negligible
Good video....Would they sound good connected to a Hi-fi Cd player?
I would assume pretty decent for the price!
Hi, what's the difference between this ed Edifier r1855db?
What's the better choice for you?
Thank you!
I haven't tried the 1850's but there isn't a ton of difference specs-wise, the 1850 does have an optical and coaxial input which the 1700bts does not - if I didn't need those things I likely wouldn't spend the extra
@@KyleEricksonOk. Thank you very much!
video goooooooood
For anyone here WHO OWNS THESE-
How do they hold up?? I've been strongly considering getting a pair of the 4.5-5" Bluetooth speakers. I'll mainly be listening to music via Bluetooth, listening to vinyl, and doing some light playback / mixing for home recording. Would you recommend these speakers?
Thanks!!!
7:30 how often do you listen with your ears leveled with the bass exhaust? xD
umm all the time - sitting with a curved spine is a way of life for me, do you sit upright like some kind of dork or something?
Is it good for oled tv instead of soundbar?
No only for qled tv's!
The only problem is those speakers require proprietary cable to connect the right in the left so you are limited on how far they can be apart unlike the model below those that use standard speaker cable and you can put them anywhere you want. I really really considered those speakers but that proprietary cable limits you greatly and it is rather thick
Fair enough, I find the cable to be quite long (longer than I would ever need by quite a bit), and a replacement cable if anything happens is only $20. But totally get why you might feel that way!
I don't think that wire is proprietary. I'm not 100% but I think it's a 5 pin din speaker wire. It's actually pretty commercial in the audio world. You can get that wire in many places for about $10
Если вы разнесёте колонки дальше, чем длина кабеля, то звук не будет согласован.
Длина кабеля сделана с учетом этого момента.
you can easily extend them with some basic DIY know how.
I’m also worry about the color because it’s kind of red!
Should I get the 1700bts or 1280dbs?
Get the 1700bts
Could they be connected via audio cable to my PC? Bluetooth is just an extra option it offers?
yup!
These speakers cost around USD120 in my country
Is that too high or low ?
Whats difference between 1280dbs and 1700bts
Main difference is the tweeter. 1700's have clearer high notes, but less bass and mids than the 1280DBs.
It funny you say "better than what yours find at Best Buy or Amazon" when Amazon is exactly where I first saw this exact set of speakers- it seems Amazon is pushing them pretty hard as "best sellers" and recommend buys.
How do you turn it on/off without the remote?
I have tese for 2 years, and i still don't know that lol XD
Mine just turn on randomly, usually during night, so i just use the switch on the back now. They will remember the last state (on or off) when you flick that switch on. Also, my smartphone has ir blaster that can work as a remote.@@UmbraWeiss
@@UmbraWeiss press the volume knob for 2 seconds
how this even a pc speaker ? its not sold as one
If im being honest, they sound no different from my 23 year old Cambridge soundworks 2.1 speakers, kinda bummed.
100$ speakers back then is the same audio quality as 100$ speakers today, but the bluetooth is handy and they look good
mr4 is what you're looking for
Björn are You?
You look like Bjorn. Nice review though. Peace✌😁
they exagerate the base to provide a fuller sound
Are you Bjorn Ironside's twin brother ?
Bass is not satisfactory though other sound reproduction is awesome like guitar strings and overall music experience is great!
Can you confirm:
1. Bluetooth cannot be disabled. People can connect to your speakers all the time (crowded city).
2. There is no way to turn the speakers on without the remote. Is it true? Or is it true just for bluetooth?
Thanks!
1. You can switch between bluetooth or line in from the remote control, so if you select line in, it will disconnect bluetooth.
2. There is an on/off switch at the back of the main speaker.
Hope this helps. 🙂
@@nothingisreal8618
Yes, but even if you're line-in mode, someone in the building can connect in bluetooth and the speakers will change to bluetooth. Since the pass is 0000, it can be a big issue in the city..
@@MorkusReX I guess that could be a problem. I have a set myself and live in a busy city across from a University and haven't experienced any problems so far. I researched lots of user reviews before buying and didn't come across any complaints concerning this, so maybe it's worth taking a chance. Anyway, best of luck on your choices.
@@nothingisreal8618
Thanks. Currently testing the Presonus 3.5. If I decide to return them, I'll probably go with the 1700.
The bts version has no such issue, I'm using it now, you have to initiate Bluetooth mode on the remote first before it goes into pairing mode(blinking blue led on The right main speaker)
Once the Bluetooth device is paired the blinking will stop and the blue led stays on
If you switch to wired mode , the led will turn green.
wtf i thought it was Bjorn Lothbrok doing this review.🤣
Skål 🍻
@@KyleErickson Skål 🍻
[10:25] I'll pass on using apps to control speaker.
GET RID OF THE BEARD SAILOR AND KEEP THE MUSTACHE TO MAKE YOU LOOK GREAT.
Your link has the highest priced ones on Amazon ...... wack
Carbon foot print ... lost it there pal !!!
Dear God, just wire your speakers to your computer
i can recommend a razor , clean up that facial hair lol

I bought them to replace my 20 year old Logitech x-530 2.1 System. Trust me, they are trash. My old System is way better in every aspect. I hate them thats all i can say.
tu ne sens pas un peu seul pour dire ces conneries ?
