    It woulds be nice to have more watts for the speakers ( 85 watts). It sounds great, but definitely need more power. There is a buzz sound from the bluetooth. Overall is for awesome computer speaker and for the price. It needs T/5 subwoofer to be complete

    Overpriced at Best Buy

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

    They are good speakers but overpriced at Best Buy and their price match policy is extremely complicated with loopholes so they don’t match most prices. Found these for $150 on Amazon but sold by Edifier and in person at multiple record stores instead of $200 at Best Buy. Returned and got them at Amoeba.

    Speakers are not bad, for the price. However, the Bluetooth went out 6 months after purchase and it has been a problem with Edifier Customer Service to help out. After a month of texting back and forth, they are now asking for a video of the speakers/Bluetooth not working. I'm not sure how a video will help but I'm out of options, short of purchasing different speakers.

    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.

    Just What I Needed

    These speakers are great for my setup. I wanted a speaker that I could pair to my phone with Bluetooth. I also wanted to have my record player directly hooked up with the Line-In. I am really enjoying the sound quality of these speakers.

    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!
