    i bought both the Edifier BT and Non BT and the Non BT seems to sound way better... so i end up using the non BT instead and this one just sits. not sure but sometimes it sounds like it's blown already....

    Not bad. Interferes with any radio/bluetooth signal around it. Muds up the signal and creates and slushy sound onto whatever other device you may be using.

    Excellent, Clear Sound for a Small Space

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bought these to use at my desk in my office. I wasn't looking for the loudest speakers out there, just something clear and accurate, and I wasn't disappointed. I use Tidal via bluetooth from my phone, and the sound quality out of these is excellent. Crystal clear sounds without too much fluff. There is a bit of criticism from others about the low end not being powerful enough, and to that end there is some truth. Because I share my office with someone, I decided not to get a subwoofer to attach to these, but that is an option if you decide to. Even without a subwoofer, the bass is fine for small-space listening as long as you adjust the knobs on the side. Again, these are NOT designed the blow up your house with sound, they are designed for desk-top listening a few feet away from you, and they will provide crystal clear, thoughtful sound with tasteful bass. Very much recommended for this.

    I like them, i like the sleek design and the remote. It fit every single one of my needs and i love them, bur they can be better. Belive it or not, i got the insignia bookshelf speakers and to my suprise, they are better, more aesthetically pleasing, and 10x better for utility. Unfortunately im gonna sell them and then buy some kef speakers. Thanks!

    These are great for a medium sized space. They get pretty loud. Bluetooth and turntable compatibility is cool.

    Easy to use to and connect with my audiotechnica Bluetooth turntable quickly without any issues. Sound quality is nice, and speakers are a modest size so they can be placed just about anywhere.

    Awesome pair of starter speakers for a budget

    Overall, great experience. The speakers sound great for a small bedroom, can fit nicely to a computer system. Love the multitude of ports and connections, being able to connect to my phone one second, follwoed by connecting them to my laptop the next. Only minor complaint is the bass drops off in certain scenairos, but a subwoofer will fix that.

    I use these to listen to a Bluetooth turntable and also have them hardwired to my cable box for TV sound. Good quality, clear sound on both. I do wish the bass was better, but at this size it's okay.

    Not compatible with windows 11

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Windows 11 will not read the device hardwired or Bluetooth. Therefore these speakers are useless to me. Will be returning asap. after all the complaints online, Edifier still has not fixed problem.
