I wanted something small, but with great sound. Read the reviews on these Edifiers and decided to try them. I figured for only $150 I wouldn't be taking too much risk if they didn't live up to the hype. Well, I'm happy to say they absolutely lived up to all the hype and more. I already expected them to be good based on the reviews, but I was still caught a bit off guard by just how good they really do sound. Quite frankly, I'm not sure how they can pull off this level of quality for the price? These speakers are quite a bit heavier than I expected and also a little bit smaller than I expected (which is nice). The cords that come with them to connect the speakers to each other, etc, are quite thick and high quality. The finish on the speakers is pristine, and they are solid as a rock. They are impressive visually - just beautiful, and sonically superb. Nothing chintzy about these speakers in any way. I'm just some guy who likes music, so I don't really know how to describe the sound from a professional standpoint, other than that they sound really clean and tight. Bass is solid and clean and absolutely not lacking, despite the small speaker size. Mids and Treble also very clean and crisp. I can really hear all the vocals well, and the highs are sharp and crisp without having that too sharp sound that is sometimes almost painful in certain speakers, if you know what I mean. They just sound good - really good. Balance of highs and lows is just really, really nice. I didn't even adjust the Bass or Treble - they sounded fantastic at the neutral adjustment setting. I did try turning up the bass just to see where it would go, and it went from tight and solid to a bit more thumping, if that's what you like. Like I said, I'm no sound pro, but I'm not a stranger to good speakers - I have some nice KEF's for my main stereo with a 240 watt amp, 80 watt separately powered sub, etc, so I feel like I have some experience with good sound. These Edifier's are as good as anything I've heard, really. Obviously, these don't get as loud as my main system, or have quite as much bass, but I don't need them to. I just wanted something nice for my living room when I want to listen to music there, and I have absolutely fallen in love with these Edifier speakers - just wonderful. Bluetooth connectivity worked great - without a hitch to my Android phone. So far I've listened to some Van Halen, Queen, Garbage, Tribe Called Quest, Led Zeppelin, Craig Finn, Fatboy Slim, Sunflower Bean, Fountains of Wayne, UB40 (on CD), and Vanity Fair. It all sounded outstanding on the speakers. I'd rate them 10 stars if I could. If you are questioning buying these, do not hesitate, you won't be sorry. I will probably buy another pair for my son who is leaving for college, as well as a pair for my cabin. Again, I really have trouble understanding how they made these so very good for such a reasonable price. But hey, who cares? Buy them and just enjoy the amazing sound, knowing you have money left to spend on music to play on them! Review: Opened my eyes (and ears) - First, some quick points on design: - 10 degree angle on speakers properly point the woofer and tweeter towards your head when placed on a desk. Normally would have to put a piece of angled foam or something to achieve this, so a nice bonus. - Dials on the side are nicely constructed and placed for me, being right handed. I can see people wanting the volume knob on the front, but I mostly manage volume through the computer and leave the speaker volume static, so this was fine. - Front-facing subwoofer port is a nice design choice because if you are like me and want to place the speakers on your desk that's up against a wall, you won't have any obstruction to the airflow. Other speakers with rear-facing ports will need to be placed at least 4" away from a back wall. However, I think this limits the size of the woofer, which will have an impact on bass extension (will go into that more below). - Off/on switch is on the back of the unit, which wasn't that great. I didn't want to leave these speakers on because they would draw a bit of power, so I waste a couple seconds every time I toggle the power. - Construction quality seems to be pretty good overall. The speakers have some heft to them and are pretty solid. The wood grain veneer has texture on it so it makes it seem more real. Overall a good looking set of speakers with the grills on or off. The SOUND: Let me preface this section by saying that I considered myself an aspiring audiophile, but more on the neophyte side of the spectrum. I played string instruments throughout my life and listen to many genres of music, so I care and know a little about good sound, but I haven't gotten to the point of spending thousands on speakers and headphones. I recently bought a Samsung HW-K450 soundbar for the TV and have a pair of Shure SE215's, and for this pair of Edifiers was looking for replace an old Logitech Z3 2.1 system I bought 12 years ago. This was my first set of speakers designed for music listening, so I wanted something pretty high quality, but I didn't want to spend more than $200 because I wasn't sure how big of a difference it would have made. Overall, I was looking for something with good value. First things first, the speakers sound GREAT. Out of the box, they sounded a little hollow, but after about 12 hrs breaking in, the sound really rounded out, and the mid range and bass became a lot more full and lively. The first couple evenings with the speakers, I sat there in front of my computer with the lights off and my eyes closed, finding new sounds and details in tracks I'd heard hundreds of times before. Overall, the sound is very balanced through the mid-/high-range and sounds very natural. The silk tweeters don't distort or break down until the very highest of volumes. After doing some A/B testing with my soundbar and headphones, I came to realize how much of a difference having a dedicated tweeter makes on the sound. The percussive sounds from the R1700BT shimmer and have this ephemeral quality and made the Samsung soundbar (and even the Shure headphones) seem really dull and flat in comparison. The only negative I have about these speakers is that the bass is a little bit weak. This should be expected, as the woofer is only 4". In these speakers, the bass drops off really quickly below 50 Hz, which means that while you can hear the lowest bass coming out of string instruments, you end up losing a lot of the rumble from the bass drums (and explosions) that convey a sense of power. There is also an overexaggeration of the bass in the ~100 Hz range, but it's not super prominent if you don't turn up the bass knob on the side. In general, I'm extremely happy with this pair of speakers and will keep them for a while. They're a pleasure to look at and listen to and are probably the best budget speakers you can get right now (and other more experienced reviewers seem to agree). The R1700BTs highlighted just how much I was missing out on before, but they've also ignited a thirst for the hi-fi and I'm now on the look-out for my next set of speakers. I'm probably going to upgrade to pair of floorstanding speakers once I buy a house and get my own study (so I can use the same set of speakers for my computer and TV), but I'll happily keep listening to these Edifiers until that time comes. ## Features - BLUETOOTH CONNECTION - Pair your phone, tablet or computer for a true wireless experience, perfect for any iOS, Android, MacOS or Windows device. - 2 x AUX INPUT - Convenient connection to any device that has a 3.5mm headphone output or dual RCA output.

Yes it's only an inch larger but with small speakers an additional 1" is large bump up. (Just as a 3 inch speaker would be a huge step down!). The inch increase brings a substantial increase in deeper base and more room filling sound. It will also offer higher quality music reproduction at a higher/louder volume with better separation of midrange sounds. So you can play it louder than the 1700 before any real notice of compromising sound quality. 2) The R2000 has a considerably larger amplifier. 120 RMS as compared to the 1700's 66 RMS. This supplies the power needed to push that 5" speaker and provide quality sound. I personally feel the amplifier size is more important than speaker size. Don't be fooled by underpowered "Powered" speakers. There are additional benefits of the 2000 covered by another answer. Size, range of the BT, and plug in options are all better and bigger with the 2000. I've chosen to speak to the 2 options that make the biggest contribution to better sound when comparing the two. **Q: are these good enough without a dedicated powered subwoofer?** A: These speakers are really just glorified computer speakers!! There's even a designated input just for your PC, that's why they're only $99!! And they only have 4" driver/woofers. These were not designed to be so called a 'theater 5.1 Dolby surround sound system'! I'm not saying that they are not good speakers but a lot of people don't understand that when you are spending $99 on a pair of speakers that have Bluetooth built in and it actually has a designated RCA input labeled 'PC'! And the reviews that I've read about them not being that loud and I read one about how it was louder hooking it up to your computer than it was when you had it hooked up to your TV!!!! First of all I'm going to guarantee that these are consumer rated at -10dB for the line input, which means that they are not going to perform like professional +4dB line level speakers! When hooking them to your TV, I don't know exactly what you did but you also have to make sure that you go into the settings on your TV and find your audio out settings and change it from the built-in speakers to 'line out' or external speakers, or whatever your TV labels it as, because if your signal doesn't know where to go or how it should react when it gets there, it's probably the reason that it sounds louder coming from your PC because the speaker inputs are built and rated to match the rating of the computer outputs and they are most likely both rated at -10dB which is a consumer rating! If you're looking for a theatre system performance ..... you're going to have to spend more than $99!!! **Q: Can i have the speakers stay plugged into my tv, and then use my phone or laptop to bluetooth audio to the speakers?** A: Yes! You chose line input for TV and Bluetooth For laptop or cell phone. **Q: does this work with alexa** A: It will work with Echo Dot, or any Echo device with a headphone output jack. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing! *by A***R on February 16, 2020* I was looking for some high quality Bluetooth capable speakers for the living room, without breaking the bank.
