Sweet natural sound – Best value for money
I may not be a sound engineer but trust me I know how I like my music to sound. I have multiple sound systems ranging from the likes of high end discrete Onkyo and Yamaha Aventage Dolby Atmos Home Theatre systems to Bose LifeStyle to Vacuum Tube Stereo Setups paired with some of the best speakers like Focal Chorus 836W, Paradigm, KEF, JBL, Definite Technology , Jamo, Pure Acoustics and Bose 901 that one can lay his hands on. All these setups have been solution-ed with the sole objective of hearing the best possible sound for the occasion.Of course these setups cannot be compared to a pair of measly computer speakers in this case the Edifier R1700BT Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers – Active Near-field Studio Monitors – Powered Speakers 2.0Given the time that one spends on the machine of choice, one cannot be wrapped in some BT or wired headphones all the time. Hence the use case for a suitable set of sound drivers to fill up the time in the hot seat – be it the office or home – laptop, desktop or your a DIY beast of a gaming rig sitting pretty with all those synced up RGBs.I am sure that there would be a whole lot of fancy names one could pick from and I too had my fair share trying out Bose, Harman Kardon, Logitech, Creative, etc. desktop decoratives besides BT jumping from Google Home Max, Apple Home Pod and Amazon Echo Plus. However, my frustration kept growing as I was not able to get that right fit for my daily driver rig.A few days back I came across reviews of various Edifier options ranging from the fancy looking Luna E e235 to some others around 5K. To cut a long story short, after reading up some reviews, comparisons and YouTube content, I settled for the Edifier R1700BT Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers – Active Near-field Studio Monitors – Powered Speakers 2.0Something just told me to go for them and they did check off all my boxes for being compact, having BT and 3.5 mm / RCA inputs and sufficiently powered for a 2.0 setup. Basic necessities for survival :-)The order was delivered in less than 12 hours. Many thanks to Amazon for that. 🙂 🙂 :-)Unboxing (nicely seal packed in the original factory box) done, I was able to breeze through the setup of the simplistic contraption in 5 minutes flat.Powered on and hit the play button on my favourite VLC playlist.The 1700BT redeemed itself with flying colors as I sequenced from one track to the next.First of all I was really satisfied with the sound that filled the room – rich and sweet across the range and different genres. Some may say that the bass is a little boomy – I may agree a tad but it certainly wasn’t muddy or cloudy. Mids and highs were great…. crystal clear and the best part was the realistic sound stage created. Enabling the equalizer and fine tuning the frequency controls produced just the sound I was looking for.Crank up the volume and the benign and laid back looking boxes (maybe due to their practical 10 degree backward slope design) start flexing their muscles without breaking a sweat. Boy! they do really get loud – not that ear shattering cracked up sound but a powerful harmonious wave punching it’s way across the house like a heavyweight boxer.The remote is a huge boon – tiny but extremely functional. The build quality of the speakers is classy and subtle.I strongly recommend this set of speakers for your desktop, laptop or that gaming beast with a very definitive statement – Sweet natural sound – Best value for money that delivers for any occasion that your computing session may challenge it with.

Do yourself a favor, quit looking & just buy R1700BT, you won’t believe anything looking this good & could sound so wonderful!!
Delivery:————Considering Amazon’s reputation, delivery was slow as I guess Amazon is catering only to its Prime member these days (disappointing). I got the text saying “Delivery guy is out for delivery” early morning at 7:30 but nobody showed up until noon. The mobile number provided was continuously switched off. After several failed attempts I had to call Amazon customer car thrice before they could help and during my third call, they provided another number. I called and asked the delivery guy his location, which was just 3 km from my place. He said the van was getting loaded and would take further 2 hours. I decided to visit and collect it myself as I had to leave for work and there would be no one to collect the order in my absence as I live alone. I visited the delivery guy shop and he took out my speakers from the bottom of the other stuff loaded in the van. I asked them to open the Amazon box right there & checked if the Edifier box was squeezed or raptured, everything seemed fine so I collected and left.Seller Feedback, Product Packaging & Unboxing: (Giving 4 stars for my love for the product, would have given 3 to the seller if I had the option)———————–Seller was pretty slow in responding and increased the price a few days back. He didn’t respond to my messages asking him if he can reverse the increase but no reply ever received. Tried to approach through Amazon but they said we have no control over prices. I didn’t ask them if they had control or not, it was a normal question asking if they can ask the seller to respond to my messages.Anyways, the Amazon box packaging was okay and the Edifier box packaging was good, not great considering they were speakers. I generally love Amazon’s packaging but it was a bit disappointing here.The first thing which you will notice is the build quality which is incredible considering the price (overly priced in India though). The attention to detail is excellent. I just love the colour combination which looks so good. They do weigh decently, not at all light, but won’t call heavy either (many do in their reviews). I do not like the grille as it’s not see through and completely blocks the beautifully designed twitter and woofer, so decided to use these speakers without the grille. The tiny remote control works flawlessly. Its so small it can easily be lost under your books or other stuff that are always lying around. All the necessary cables required are provided within the box, however, I didn’t like the quality of RCAs. They look cheap as if the seller has replaced with local RCA’s as I do not expect Edifier to provide such quality cables. The cable which connects left side speaker is very high quality and pretty long.SHOCK: One of the twitter (left one) was squeezed when I opened the box. Other than that I found nothing else in terms of faults. Packaging done by Edifier is pretty decent and no complaints here. The left speaker and the twitter is working fine, but don’t know what to do with the squeezed twitter as I don’t expect the seller to respond in time and don’t wanna return these wonderful studio speakers.Product Review:———————-I rarely leave reviews, mostly feedbacks on delivery and quality but these speakers do deserve feedback and a detailed one!I have been using Yamaha’s YST-MS30 (apart from Sony HiFi and Sony pro amplifier years back) for a very long time. Spent a lot of time reading reviews of various speakers and finally asked my friend to try Edifier R1700BT during his visit to China. He loved these speakers so much that he ended up buying for himself and later refused to sell to me. He got a great deal of US$90 (â¹6000) which is crazy considering the quality, looks and output. Amazon USA is selling these speakers at US$149.99 (â¹10,000) which is still a decent deal (cheapest worldwide). This seller ‘e9accessories’ on Amazon India was selling at â¹12,000 and later increased to â¹13,300 (US$199), maybe because he got to know that someone is looking for these speakers as I did add these speakers to my cart (thanks Amazon).My long research finally paid off when I got to hear these at my friend’s house and finally ordered on 1st May 2018. I have heard many speakers, Yamaha’s HS-5, JBL LSR305 and many other class-D amplified speakers but these speakers are mind blowing at this price and looking at the size. They are so small they fit perfectly on my computer table. R1700BT sounds exceptional, the high’s, mid’s or low’s, and the clarity which you get out of these, you can’t get it anywhere in this price range.I have a pretty big room, can easily accommodate 2 king size beds, 3 big cupboards, 2-bedside tables, a computer table and still plenty of space to walk around and these speakers get loud enough to fill my room with amazing sound, the frequency response in the lower end dug deep enough even at low volume which is incredible considering the size of the woofer is just 3″. They sound undistorted even at maximum volume when connected to a laptop (with extra output).So far I couldn’t find any cons worth mentioning here. Outstanding quality and sound, Bluetooth works flawlessly and petty fast for being an older generation (2.0 if I’m correct). Would have preferred Bluetooth 4.0 in these speakers for completely lag free sound and faster connectivity as these are still selling strong all over the world. One can easily find many sound quality comparison videos with HiFi’s like JBL LSR305 and many others on YouTube. Must have speakers for all clarity lovers and audiophiles.I’m incredibly impressed and have become Edifier’s fan. Do yourself a favour, quit looking and just buy them, you won’t believe anything looking this good and small could sound so clear, loud and wonderful.Edifier please provide better after sales services in India!Attached photos: Delivery, Unboxing, Squeezed Twitter and beautiful speakers laying on my desk!YouTube Video: Edifier R1700BT Unboxing | Edifier/Amazon delivered Squeezed Twitter | 2018

These are amazing speakers! I am very impressed after only 2 days of listening enjoyment. I purchased these to upgrade a bedroom music system and wow what an upgrade. The unboxing revealed a pair of very nicely crafted, wood sided bookshelf speakers that would compliment almost any room. Under 5 minutes to set them up. Upon initial fire up and listening it quickly became apparent that these are not your average budget priced bookshelf sized active speakers. As with all speakers placement in the room is crucial to fully reveal their sonic abilities. I seemed to hit the aural g-spot with my initial placement because the sound that was coming out of these tiny boxes was simply astonishing. I immediately became aware of a 3D sonic image with very impressive soundstage and imaging. The speakers seemed to disappear and the music was beautifully laid out as if I was in the studio during the recording. Vocal tracks in particular were revealing sonic details never before heard. I couldnât believe that a pair of speakers costing under $200 could sound so good. These speakers, at low-moderate volume sound as good as my big rig units that cost many times more. Unbelievable, how can this be?? I will note, the vaulted ceiling in the room likely contributed to the 3D sound emanating from the R1700BT units. Regardless, the high quality of the unitâs construction/appearance as well as the very impressive sound qualities, self amplification, bluetooth, line in, remote, independent base/treble/volume knobs on the side of one cabinet, small footprint, and very modest price point make these speakers an absolute steal! If you are a budding audiophile or just want to upgrade an average sound system at a price that wonât flatten your wallet, do yourself a favour and buy them. Your ears will love you!

I was looking for some high quality Bluetooth capable speakers for the living room, without breaking the bank. 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!

En general, las bocinas valen lo que que cuestan (yo las compré por debajo de los 3500 pesos), las utilizo principalmente para videojuegos y en algunas ocasiones para musica, en ambos casos obtendrás un calidad de audio excelente, y más en juegos con ruidos ambientales (como el red dead 2), la caja al ser de madera también es un plus, no solo estético y de calidad de fabricación, si no que también ayuda al sonido junto con su diseño (les recomiendo investigar el porque es buena la madera en bocinas, puedes encontrar algunos vÃdeos de audiofilos explicando el tema)También recomiendo comprar el software Boom 3D, lo puedes encontrar en Stream a un precio bajo, es un excelente programa para ecualizar y sacarle mucho provecho, ya sea para musica y juegos.Edit 3: después de algunos inconvenientes con las bocinas (una tenÃa menor potencia que la otra y era notorio), me hicieron válida la garantÃa y enviaron un nuevo par.Eso sÃ, su proceso de garantÃa es algo lento porque este vendedor a diferencia del de mercado libre, no es directamente edifier México, por eso no es tan ágil el proceso, pero si atienden bien y posteriormente me mandaron un nuevo par, y hasta la fecha (ya casi un año después) no he tenido ningún problema.El detalle con el control es algo curioso, y he visto que es un problema común en este par de bocinas, para los que les llegó “muerto” el control, este si funciona pero deben cambiar la pila, curiosamente, a mà me funcionó con una pila 2032, primero probre con una pila 2025 nueva que era como la que traÃa de fábrica, y no funciono, lo que me da entender que de fábrica el control trae un modelo de pila erróneo
