#edifier #pcspeakers #s2000mkiii - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Been around with hifi gear for some time, Martantz, Philips, Canwell tubes, Canton, Pioneer ect. These speakers blow all past setups away. In room (bass reflex when well placed) hitting 35 Hz is nuts. The tweeters are very "airy" and give insane details. Thanks to DSP they also sound good on lower volumes. It will be very hard finding something better at this price range and even a bit above. A lot of people keep calling these PC speakers but they are not. These can be your main setup for the living room. Note, if you buy these, there is a break in period of at least 50 hours. I could hear mids/highs getting rounder and less sharp while bass extension increased and became more detailed. Also the differences between the EQ settings got more notable. Final note, if you hook them up to a TV, DVD player or other playback device using Optical input, make sure the TV, DVD or other player is set to PCM/Stereo output.

Hi, I got a pair of these speakers but i notice a problem with the optical connection. I heard a bit of distortion in this connection but with rca to jack the sound is amazing. Have you the same problem?
Better review than the video...
Same to you , Denon avr 1600h,Denon 1600ne, musical fidelity m2si , Marantz6006. 8003 ,Yamaha rn602, smsl do200 dac many dacs. 400w monoblock amp , tube pre , polk signature s60, monitor audio bronze 500g. And many speakers but cant happy with them.
When i come to s2000mkii totally happy .
Money and high cost products doesn’t matter . Matter is happiness.
Now i am happy with s2000 mkiii 😇
@@urname_8409 RCA better than optical for analog
Since I got these speakers I've been able to notice when singers take a breath a lot more often, its insane. They blow my Z906s out of the water for watching anime and listening to music.
Is the bass from S2000 MKIII adequate or equally powerful enough for movies / anime / TV series? How does it compare with Logitech Z906? I'm sure the sound quality is much better than the Z906 but I'm worried the bass may not be punchy enough for movie / anime / TV series consumption, and the problem is there is no output on the S2000 MKIII to add an additional subwoofer
I have these speakers too. I agree with everything you said in this video. The sound quality is so good, especially when connecting to bluetooth. I can barley tell the difference between the wired and wireless connections. I’m not a huge fan of Bluetooth, I always notice a drop in quality but these speakers do it the right way. So happy I got these speakers
Today bluetooth 5.3 is capable of having Hi-Res quality which is better then CD-DVD quality for music.
I consider Edifier as high value speaker, good price/performance ratio. Been using S530 as multi purpose speaker since 2009 and still doing well today. But noticed it wasn't commonly promoted by western reviewers, maybe due to its origin.
Comprehensive, solid review - Thank you! Note: These are rated #1 by consumer reports as of December 2021 !! Check various outlets before buying - Prices vary widely by different vendors
I'm so glad someone finally gave these a proper review. Bought mine last May and they've been amazing. I went through a bunch of other powered speakers before landing on these. Presonus, Swan, Kanto. None of them came close to the combination of build AND sound quality of the s2000 mkIII. Anytime I see someone with a room for speakers in their setup going out of the way to spent 300+ usd on a soundbar, I get sad. I feel like if you're going midrange and aren't in need of the low profile a soundbar utilizes, these are the only way to go. No sub is needed with them.
@@kompira8586 I know. I'm just trying to be nice. I can spell it out for you if that will make you happy.
"I'm glad someone finally gave this a review (opinion) in ENGLISH on youtube"
I have a pair and totally agree 👍 well said brother
As you wrote this edifier compared to a "midrange" soundbar.. But what if you compare the edifier to a samsung QN800A soundbar ?? For tv watching !!
@@eurovisie2010
Samsung are building quite amazing speakers I would say BUT in hifi world, physics still applies unfortunately I wish it didn't and I'm serious. 😁
@@andrewlim7751 Meaning,..? The fact that a soundbar is a soundbar.. So it's low below the tv.. And the speakers are not wide enough to give stereo.. And de speakers are not big in diameter enough.. ? My problem with a soundbar is that the sound comes from below... the tv..
I heard a pair of the older version of these, my mate has them - very impressive speakers, their drivers are very capable for the price - and the bass isnt bloated and slow either, like most PC speakers ive heard. Good to see Kitguru looking at them.
I've got the older pair too and they are incredibly good for their price, the only problem I had with them is that were too big for my desk and I had to replace them with a soundbar
I have the S351D and they are freakin' awesome
I have the series 4, got them at a pawn shop cheap because the Bluetooth does not work. But sound amazing with my record player, and external phono pre amp. Very happy with them.
I bought these for $400 a couple of yrs ago. The price increased last year from $400.00 to $500. They are now selling for $550 at Edifier USA and B&H.
If you connect these to a sound card, you could see the real quality of these speakers... specially the tweeters. these tweeters are heaven!
I have this for about 2 years now and serve as my bookshelf speakers in the living room, it's main purpose is for music listening mostly wireless connection from my music player e. g. laptop and cp. They are fantastic and dynamic for playing high-res audios. The only thing I don't like is the small letters of the remote control.
Amazing speakers!
I own a cheaper pair, the R1800T III, and they are fantastic. They are not available anymore but there are others from Edifier at the same price. My speakers have 35W per channel but they are still loud. They sound so good and the actual amplifier feel like is too strong for the speakers when using too much base. I also own a pair of headphones from Edifier , the W830BT Black. They have also a good quality but in order to have a really God like battery they sacrificed a bit of volume and base. I mean, for reg0ular music and gaming they are fine but if you like Skrillex these headphones won't do it justice. All in all Edifier are doing some good products and it's on the market for a while now I'm actually surprised to see here that people didn't heard of them.
I bought them for $300, it was an amazing purchase
Shortly - great speakers , with tube pre and sub you get sound worth showroom . :)
Hi, this is a great review!. I bought recently a pair and i´m very suprised about how they sound.
The only drawback I found is that the vocals is not easyly distingsh (even with using that preset from the remote), I mean, the bass goes over it. I was trying to find an swet spot.
Did you have that issue with your unit?, maybe they will tend to sound better with the time, or should I call the warranty? Thank you
Hi Andy, these speakers have ~50 hours of play time to "break" and start sounding as they are build to. Also, you can try to set them to something like -2 bass and +3 treble from the knobs at the back of the main speaker. Or -3 and +2 may sound better in your room, try it.
do I win anything with an upgrade from my brand new s2000 mkiii to s3000 pro (if it's a good bargain)? I do love pretty much everything about these little boomboxes. The only thing probably is that on volume over 35 I have to reduce bass due to the sound distortions (mostly on some rap and trap soundtracks), yet it doesn't annoy that much. So, what do you say?
I just bought these about two weeks ago and they're absolutely outstanding. Three things they do unusually well are imaging, detail resolution, and a dynamic musicality at low volumes. They're great for home theater and seriously impressive with all types of music, but they really shine with intimate jazz recordings, such as Bill Evans or Patricia Barber. I paid $300 USD for mine, NIB here in Cambodia, and at that price it's literally impossible to regret giving them a try. Highly, highly, highly recommended -- perhaps the most highly recommended object I have ever owned. It's a complete, near-audiophile-grade sound system for about the same cost as a midfi stand-alone DAC.
A few notes for the company:
One, these things strike me, personally, as not really suited for a desktop / "bookshelf" application; they're really quite large and heavy. For my two cents, they belong on monitor-style stands.
Two, in addition to the non-IEC power cable, the speaker cable is also a fixed length, and frankly it's just way, way too long. I understand that there is a much higher risk of dissonance if someone comes up short, but for the size of the room that they would be best suited to (about 360cm across the front), there's a huge excess of speaker cable piled up beneath the slave, which invites RF and EMI interference.
Three, with all due respect, the remote sucks. It's essentially illegible even in moderate lighting, and it doesn't respond very well. If you love these as much as I do, you'll quickly thank yourself for switching to a programmable universal such as those offered by Logitech.
Four, they're ... kinda ugly, frankly. As another reviewer recently said, "People say they're pretty, and they are -- in the sort of house where people refer to the sofa as a 'davenport'." Truer words, an' all that.
Va bene il dac e 30 topping? Cosa consigli? Grazie.
S3000pro user here. Impressive speakers
how do you like the s3000pro's ? are they set up to your TV if so hows the sound....i am trying to decide which EDIFIERS to get 1850's ....R2000MK 3's or the S3000Pro's...cheers
@@GOLFADDICT651850е сразу нет. Они не воспроизводят саббас.
I have a pair of Edifier speakers, R1800T III, cheaper model but very good for the money, noticeably better than Logitech for the same money.
Monoprice makes monitors too. I like mine.
How about s3000pro if one can spend some extra to get its bigger brother?
What about the plannar tweeter? I read that they are not efficient?
I’m interested in upgrading my Edifier R1900 tiii (T3). They had very good reviews back when they were released (15 years ago). They are my daily speakers, mainly for TV and music listening. I’m very interested in the S2000mk3 but I’m not sure how much better they will be compared to my actual speakers. I’m not much interested in DSP, Bluetooth, etc: mainly audio quality. Do you think the S2000mk3 are a worthy upgrade? Thanks!!
Well, I have been using my new S2000 mk3 for some months. This are the main differences against r1900 t3: 1 Sound: S2000 mk3 have DSP and you can equalize the audio but with very natural presets. In “monitor” mode sound is flat and similar to r1900 t3. Main differences are with bass: much more present and deeper (5” vs 5,5” and bigger and heavier enclosure). Mids. are also better. Treble is also crispier and clearer. But sound is AWSOME in “Dynamic” mode. This mode blows your head! Speakers sound incredible in this mode (every owner of this speakers say the same!). 2 Sound customization: r1900 t3 only has bass selector. S2000 mk3 has bass and treble selector (I use them in 0). 3 Volume: S2000 mk3 sound much louder and clear at high volume. 4 Inputs: S2000 mk3 have much more inputs: Optic, Bluetooth, RCA, Coax, etc. I use the optic one with the TV and found it a very little better than RCA. 5 Look: I like more the low-profile black of the r1900 mk3 but S2000 mk3 look more luxury and expensive. 6 Extras: It has remote control. I don’t use it but is a bonus. Also, a small OLED screen that never use it. Conclusions: If you like to hear music, the S2000 mk3 are an excellent choice. You won’t regret.
Klipsch the fives or edifier s 2000 mk3?
Hello would you know if it's possible to set these up with an M1 MacMini? Thank you.
S2000 mk3 or Vizio v51 h6, for music and movies? Thanks!!!!
What speaker can sound like the original track?
what is everyones thoughts on the Edifier s3000Pro's as TV speakers vs the R1850DB's with a sub vs S2000 MK 3 ? thx in advance...cheers from Canada
How would you compare these with the Edifier G5000???
Can a budget dac improve their sound quality? I was suggested to buy topping e30
I can’t hear the speakers… for some reason i can only hear the sound through your microphone and then through my speakers or headphones… is there something wrong with my direct sound!
my man cave is 12 x 15 ft so you think they would still rock the movies / sports etc. and are the s3000Pro worth 750 more Canadian than the s2000MK3...having a really hard time deciding....thx...cheers
Thanks for including rock music in it too....too many reviewers play hip hop...dance etc....
the S2000 MK 3's are now one sale for 445 ( canadian ) 325 ( USD )on amazon.....is thats a great deal ?
Great review - I have these speakers and absolutely love the. I am having trouble with connecting them to my computer. I only have HDMI out and a headphone out on my laptop. Neither of those are inputs on these speakers. What is the best way for me to connect my computer (without using bluetooth which does add a slight delay.
If you have an headphone out, you can use the include cable.
buy 3.5mm jack to RCA wire. Mine is R2000db and is already included. You connect the 3,5 mm Jack to your PC and then connect the RCA at the back of the speaker. There are 2 RCA line input at the back choose 1 or 2 then use your edifier IR remote control to choose the line you are connected to.
@@geregg007 That cable should be included in the box.
My local store have these for 249$ is it a good deal? (Currently using Edifier R1855bd)
wow, these cost nearly half the price here in australia
Gents, I have a question. I've got an Asus TUF GAMING X570 motherboard with Realtek S1200A. Is it worth upgrading my sound card to those speakers?
Would I feel any difference? Is the quality of the sound will be better?
If yes, can you recommend any specific sound card model that would make a difference? I prefer an internal sound card.
The motherboard should have optical audio out, use that
How is bass?is it punching?
consigo ligar um sub ativo nela?
Hello, can this speaker connect to Edifier T5 subwoofer?
You’ll need an amp with a sub-out connection
Yes it can, through RCA
you have to place speakers at least 1.5 meters away from each other then test it.
I saw an add this week for wharfedale diamonds 11.3 for 300€ the pair ! Ofc , I want the evo's , but don't say that this edifier is good value ! lmfao !
I have the R2000db amazing speaker for A$299.
It's only $229 on Amazon
@@s1Lence_au I bought mine last year and I love it, I am thinking of getting the S2000MKIII cost around A$549.
@@sktfan3843 The S2000MKIII is only $409 delivered on Amazon's Australian site, where are you seeing them for $549? That's a rip off! I am also considering buying them, they are priced quite well in Australia compared to overseas, where it costs nearly 50% more to nearly twice as much.
@@s1Lence_au Thanks for the info. Last week it was A$549 on amazon.au or maybe I just mistakenly looking at the Edifier online store. Thanks.
The one thing I greatly dislike about Edifier is the lack of a sub out on most of their bookshelf speakers... otherwise I would've bought something like the S2000 over the R-51PM.
The MKIII dig really low. Deeper than my Tannoy 10" sub I have for another setup. You really have to dig deep into your pockets to get a sub that really compliments these in a balanced an detailed way without just adding an accumulation bass.
Yes the lacking sub out is lame, I wish the R-51PM had more knobs on the back to turn and DSP like the Edifier's do. Could plug them into a DAC with a sub out.
@@rdolle990 The main issue is too much is being handled by the mid-range speakers. The use of multiple types of speakers is to balance the sound and let each type perform the best in the manner of which they are inheritly designed. Don't get me wrong, I love bass heavy tracks with untold amounts of bass, but even if all i listened to was classical and country (I listen to everything lol) I'd demand a sub regardless. Let the tweeter handle the highs, the woofers the mids and the sub the lows. Multiple woofers if the use-case allows ;)
I'm sure they sound great on their own, but they'd sound even better if they didn't have to cover as broad a range of frequencies.
@@jkane1341 @DarthKane Yea, it would be nice lol. I'm just happy they serve my purpose well. I have an external DAC using a 1ft 3.5mm cable and it sounds wonderful for the price I paid. (Super-sale plus amazon gift-card lol)
I really wanted to try the Kanto Tuks...
@@AndrewH. I catch your drift but Edifier put a lot of DSP magic in these. For a two way bookshelf they have amazing low end. More, deeper, cleaner and detailed than my 10" Tannoy and Tannoy TS8. It's really nuts. Only a few actieve speaker brands are doing it right btw. When you connect a sub to a Vanatoo, it will cut the lower frequencies on the main speakers and let the sub cover the complete low range. To me that is the only correct way to go otherwise you end up with accumulation of the same lower frequencies.
I'm thinking of buying these for my outdoor projector screen. Has anyone tried these speakers outside? I have a 150 inch screen that I set up in the driveway.
Nice Video as always. For the Product: It is a shame that you can not disable the DSP and DRC. Also a fixed Power Cord. For that Amount of Money a no-go (like non removable Batteries on Mobile Phones). Seems I need to keep looking for some decent, accurate and neutral Studio Monitors.
Your loss
Good for movies ? as TV speakers
Вполне нормально. У меня подключены к ТВ.
I have these. ONLY USE THE OPTICAL!!! ITS A NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENCE.
Sorry, but the sound testing microphone method is not adequate. You need dual microphones, of higher quality.
What's up with Edifier - is it a new brand? Which country do they hail from? Haven't heard of it until you started covering their products.
Well we are happy we helped raise their profile with you - they seem to do great products, at least thats what we are finding in our reviews. Amazon sell them.
They're entirely Chinese.
@@KitGuruTech Ahh, so China. Ok, thanks for the honest reviews!
@@BobMotster Thats why we are here, we never take money or free samples for reviews. read here: - bit.ly/2BopnF9. Thanks for the support, Allan.
They have been around for a while. Chinese/Canadian and part of their driver and DSP tuning and testing comes from Klippel Germany.
Only one thing is missing. Google Cast and/or Airplay2 support.
I just can't stand messing around with bluetooth!
yes bluetooth can be problematic at times!
@@KitGuruTech I never had any issues with Bluetooth on my MKIII's
The problem with things like multiroom, WiFi, streaming services etc. At the point they stop the support for firmware and app updates, you can throw all these extra options in the bin while you did pay for it. There are a lot of Audio Pro users who got devices like these on a sale, and after 2 years they where only left with Bluetooth and the main inputs as support (on the already bad and unstable software) on firm and software updates got canceled..... There are ways to hook these up to a Chromecast or other dedicated streamers for instance.
@@KitGuruTech Have you ever received a call while being connected to a pair of Bluetooth speakers? Ever had a friend vising you and trying to connect to your speakers? Ever tried to change song realizing your phone is charging in another room? wouldn't it be nice to just grab your ipad and take over "control".
Bluetooth is fine for point og point connections. But it just doesn't work very well in a multi-room, multi-device environment.
I was expecting difficulties with my Macbook Pro using Bluetooth with the new Edifier R1280DBs but it has been flawless. I use Tidal in the Hifi lossless mode and works nicely!
The review is excellent but your audio test is not good. You need a much better microphone.
just picked them up for 360 EURO's
