One small, very small nitpick: the text above the graphs says „in room response *PER PAIR* at 1m”... I suppose it's a leftover from using templates from previous videos. It's quite obvious these aren't paired, but just a single speaker enclosure.
Hard to choose... They are clearly targeting the same usage pattern, but the sound is extremely different (despite what the audio graph would suggest). Marshall is bright and a bit more articulate on bass, but the overall sensation is one of a noisy boombox; Edifier sounds a bit dull, but at the same time very, very usable as a bedroom speaker that would never tire your ears even if left to play as background music.
That's what I like with the sound signature of Edifier. They have their own tuning that is very soothing on your ear. You can listen long hours of their speakers.
The Marshall is very straight in your face, but the Edifier holds a bit back in my opinion. If I was forced to make a choice it would be the Marshall. It gives me some sort of 'party feeling'. Though I'm a huge Edifier fan, this one lacks a bit of character. Great comparison, thanks!
There is a treble and bass knob you can adjust according to your taste... For me, i am of low budget i would pick the D12 even if i like the marshall..
I would say D12 is better for a affordable price. It got more low-mid to mid sounds, I think it would be softer than Action II. Action II bass is much more faster, clearer, but treble is just way too sharp.
Tuning on D12 is better, imo. The upper mids to lower treble on the Acton sounds shouty and harsh. Overall, the Acton sounds a bit thin and tinny in the upper end of the sound.
For D12 v2... I think One channel for bass is pretty enough, then it could be bigger. Bass reflex hole can be in the back or either in the bottom. In their space there could be maybe a smaller high and a mid speaker. And also, I heard the Stanmore in action, and the cover cannot be removed. It is really good. So, the cover should not change the sound at all. But for another rooms I may still buy D12.
The Marshall sounds more like the instruments actually sound, the Edifier throws a blanket over most frequencies and then boost a few. I prefer the more honest sound of the Marshall allthought I expected the Edifier to be way better.
Overall i'd say Edi makes the run, tho they appear a little boomy and swallow a bit of the mids. Its the exact opposite with marshal, bass is ok, but the mids, especially the upper part, are too much, it would annoy the heck out of me.
Edifier D12 vs R1280DBs, I believe they use similar drivers, Is it possible to see a comparison between the two? I am tossing wether to go wih the 1 box convenience of the D12 or the complete stereo separation of the R1280DBs.
I own both and I love them, especially considering their very affordable price. D12 has deeper low frequencies. Maybe a little too deep. The R1280DB has crystal clear high frequencies, barely decent mids (I suppose it depends on the factory settings) and quite satisfying bass sounds. Listening to both is easy, enjoyable and never tiring (and that's important, at least to me). D12 reproduces jazz/fusion music very well, even if it lacks true stereo sound, because the L and R speakers are too close together. Progressive rock, for example, could be unsatisfying. On the other hand, the D12's movie/tv mode acts as a kind of old Loudness switch, which can help you appreciate bass tones at low volume levels. If I had to choose, I would opt for R1280DB. They are less powerful but more versatile: they digest any musical genre sufficiently well, including movies. I can't say the same for D12.
I have just reviewed and taken a look inside the Edifier on my channel. My conclusions were, very good value for money but way too much EQ and bass lift. It sounds more like a HiFi speaker with the Bass control fully off and the treble control at about 11am. It's almost impossible to get a flat frequency response from it. Would mostly suit electronic music. Real voice and natural instruments sound quite coloured. But it only costs $160NZ very good value, a lot of speaker and amplification for the money. Very little stereo separation however but does offer depth over mono.
I own Marshall for almost 2 years. Listening to this test on a decent headphones and I can't really agree with what I just hear. Obviously can't comment on Edifier at all, as I don't have it. In real life, Marshall sounds actually like 75% of Edifier in here. The difference between the original soundtrack on headphones and marshall is not so big as here. Marshall sounds in here like Trebble and Bass was turned up to about 75% So midds vanished. Wasn't? - Where Marshall is doing a good job is Rock, slow Metal, Acoustic stuff etc. Basically, anything involving guitar. No surprise in here since is Marshall. - It does a very good job as a home speaker turned on for all 8h a day (I do have a google assistant version). It has a pleasant, calm type of sound. It doesn't grind your head like some JBL products which you just want to turn off. Not the case here. It plays music at home for about 8h a day for the last 2 years so I know as much. - Bass is very impressive for such a small speaker. When I tested it against the bigger brother Stanmore I actually preferred Acton. - Powerful enough for casual listening in a fairly large room (maybe not by US standards). I'm using it on 40m2. Plenty of power left although can't comment on "loud party mode" - it looks amazing. It does have this classic marshall look and top-notch finish quality. - At some point, I thought about upgrading. Why? Just because I always want something better. Tested a few more speakers in the shop, and even ordered Technics SC-30 which is about 2x more expensive. It had better mids, only but not the rest - returned. Looks like a little Acton II is staying with me for a long while. - Is it the killer among the BT speakers? Hell no. For sure there is something better (I just didn't find it yet) Pair of my QA concept 20 sounds a lot better but costs 5x more. Let's be realistic. Final question - would I buy it again? Definitely, as I can't find anything better sounding and not looking like is made for a teenager.
Get the Marshall. It sounds so much better, there’s no comparison. The Marshall is more dynamic, the trust in every notes has more power, hence u can separate and hear everything more clearly. Do not be misled by this recording which may show the treble of the Marshall to be overly bright. When u hear it in person, it sounds more realistic, u will be glad & surprised how good it is. I do not own the Marshall Acton 2, but I recently bought the Marshall Emberton, it really is so good. The mid bass has so much slam to it and treble is crystal clear, there are so much nuances and depth in it. And if u like vocals, Marshall never disappoint. 👌👍✌️
Bass on full cut, treble on 11am best balance. Brings a little more mid back which is almost completely missing due to excessive built in EQ Set to music.
Dissapointed Edifier D12 IRL, because to much bass and so small treble. Tried use as center speaker in 5.1 system. Plus/minus proper sound when setup -6 dB bass and +4 dB treble.
Jesus... the Marshall sounds horrible on all tracks, especially Retro Waves and the ones with vocals. But then again, this trait is also on the Stanmore and Woburn.

Holy crap the Edifier sounds amazing. Wow.
Edifier is better. The vocal presentation of D12 is clear and articulate

@@peterhollo2795 you can't tune lower frequency when the port is short and with that speaker orientation if the port location is at the bottom.

Remember you can add a subwoofer to the D12.
D12 and get the Edifier T5 Active Subwoofer, you're welcome.
Edifier at around 100 bucks and Marshall at 299, there's no comparison at all.
Bluetooth Marshall only costs £170 in the UK. The one with Alexa/Google assistant is the expensive one
Edifier sounds a bit fuller, but Marshall somehow sounds more affable. Great comparison!
Overall i'd say Edi makes the run, tho they appear a little boomy and swallow a bit of the mids.
Its the exact opposite with marshal, bass is ok, but the mids, especially the upper part, are too much, it would annoy the heck out of me.
Timecodes perfect
Edifier sounds a little too closed, while the Marshall is a little too open. Generally better Edifier

I have both. The Edifier D12 is more clear (it has the tweeters of D1700). In my opinion, the only lack of D12 is the absense of the optical input.

@@wolfixzerg9943 have you used the d12 outdoors? Would it be loud enough for a gathering outside?
@@wolfixzerg9943 D12 has dsp DRS. R1280 does not. and D12 is using the same eagle eye tweeters as the R1700.
I subscribed for edifier MR4 vs Edifier R1280T comparison in the future 😁😁
if you want a clear strumental and crisp sounds go for marshall
the edifier with a battery and a lower tuning to like 50 hz would be awesome
Marshall : Error 404 Mids not found
Haha

I prefer the edifier d12
At first, I go for Marshall. Then, my hands on Edifier now. Agree Edifier is too boomy. Hope it has more details.
reduce the bass. boost the treble. 😊
Edifier has too boomy bass and Marshall has harsh upper mids
Edifier D12 win price
Marshall heavy metal instrument is great while edifier handle musically average only
My ears hear no difference between the two. Maybe some classical music with church organ or cannons. How many watts, decibels, etc?
D12 vs 1700 , plz

Edifier: music or cinema EQ? Bass and treble levels in center?
Bass on full cut, treble on 11am best balance. Brings a little more mid back which is almost completely missing due to excessive built in EQ Set to music.
Compare with audioengine b2
For a house party, i would bet on the d12.
Dissapointed Edifier D12 IRL, because to much bass and so small treble. Tried use as center speaker in 5.1 system. Plus/minus proper sound when setup -6 dB bass and +4 dB treble.
I agree with the -6 setting on the bass, however these are not dB the -6 has no meaning at all. I find adding treble just makes things tizzy.
@@MichaelBeeny Hmm, interesting, I was sure bass and treble knobs is dB..It is should be normal, isn't it?
@@user-gb7wi7ig8t Yes they are marked as you have noticed but it's nearer to 12dB they are just meaningless numbers not real dB.

I'm afraid to buy the edifier cuz
I want bass that I can feel you know
Edifier D12 or Audio pro C5?
Audio pro dude, it's not even compared
Wow, iPod HiFi reborn. They both sound extremely horrible btw...
Jesus... the Marshall sounds horrible on all tracks, especially Retro Waves and the ones with vocals. But then again, this trait is also on the Stanmore and Woburn.
In deep track, Edifier bester i think
You're comparing a product against something which costs 4 times more ... Why? It's a totally different price point.
Marshall ha gli alti che fanno confusione.
Will not buy any of those, both sound fake, if have to pick one, Marshall sounds slightly open
What you suggest for low budget
