Edifier S1000DB Audiophile Active Bookshelf Speakers

Require a modest break in but the very best out there your money can buy in this price range. Instrument separation is incomparable coupled with crisp sound, tight bass and perfect beats. They produce absolutely natural sound just the way it is meant to be and their versatility knows no bounds as they entice and enthrall with their performance in movies and music alike. Will unequivocally recommend these over the likes of Marshall, Klipsch and Dali without hesitation given the immense value for money they have on offer. A true audiophile's delight, these speakers only get better with time. I am usually too lazy to write such heartfelt reviews but was driven by the sheer class of this product on this particular occasion. If such a strong vote of confidence doesn't provide you the needed impetus to finalize the purchase, then perhaps nothing else will...

Truly retro looks. Nicely built wooden casing. Smooth music. Manufactured in March 2019.

The speakers are heavy, nicely built and asthetically they are a delight for the interiors.The speakers require a lot of burn in period to properly dissipate the vibrations.Sound Quality: i have been listening to Pink Flyod, Jimi Hendrix, Chet Baker, Chopin, B B king, Strings, Abida Parveen, Lamb of God, Manna Dey, Ravi Shankar and i will conclude that this speakers actually allow me to indulge and immerse myself into total isolation of musical ecstacy .Frequency Response: The high,mid and low are just perfect. The frequency dispersion is crisp and the clarity of frequencies is so appropriate.The speakers don't distort at full volume. They are able to deliver the full spectrum of frequency at full volumes without overpowering any frequency.Once the ears get adapted to this sound signature, you won't like any other speakers, these are so distinct. No need for a subwoofer as you can listen to and feel a double bass drum being played in front of you .Soothing for ears and very comfortable at high volumes. A must buy for hardcore music lovers.

I'm not sure if I have a faulty product if the speakers are themselves this way. The mids are too low and sound very muffled. Pretty disappointed seeing that I went through a ton of speaker reviews before selecting these s1000dbs. I was hunting for the MKIIs but they weren't available and appeared on Amazon immediately after I ordered these.

Amazon shows no proof that the product is imported from U.S.A., it is imported from China and is manufactured in China, as the print on the carton reveals. The web page on Amazon.in details/describes it as ' imported from U.S.A.' which is a lie, Amazon refuses to accept a 'Return' despite this misrepresentation. No questions asked 'Returns' is a thing of the past now, any return now connects to a technical executive who irrationally will not entertain a return however legitimate it may be.

Its a value for money. Amazing power is bookshelf size powered studio monitor speakers. Though bass in enough but if a sub-woofer out would have been a cake o ice.(Only feel need of Sub-woofer when you listen to old recordings, For new music these have enough bass delivery) Connect to watch movies and it delivers enough punch at middle of the volume. If they provide and smartphone app to play these speakers with equalizer this would be a complete sound machine. But fully satified with what have been provided in these speakers.

I own Edifier 1700bts as well. Thought this would be a major upgrade. It wasn’t. The 1700s actually sound better at lower comfortable hearing volumes.The sound of the S1000s is low on mids and synthetic sounding. Also you need to really crank them to get a decent sound.

I have a Xiaomi Mi Box S, with optical out, connected to this speaker.And use this to do 'chrome-cast' from mobile.After this, any other mode of connectivity is not as satisfying.Even when connected to Mi TV via aux-cable, the sound is not as satisfying as the above case.

As an apartment dweller, i really needed some speakers that sounded full and had good stereo separation at low volume.These speakers not only sound but look beautiful - I got the paired speaker stands to match and the fit and finish is durable and attractive on both.And they look awesome paired together. I had no BT Pairing issues at all. Love the controls on the back of the master speaker for quick adjustments.This has allowed me to store away my 45 year old analog system: heavy, dusty, wires everywhere! No amplifier/receiver needed with these powered speakers.Big Improvement.5 stars!(I went by the Consumer Reports Magazine's review - thought you might like to know.)Thanks Edifier.

Para ser honesto, es el primer equipo de sonido que tengo, ya que solamente había tenido bocinas portátiles individuales (JBL).Estas bocinas tienen un gran sonido, muy claro y sin distorsión. Quizá lo único que les falta es un poco más de volumen.

I bough these active speaker for my lounge as my hifi lives in a separate room now. I was expecting them to look good and sound ok for casual listen but no more. They look as good in real life as they do in the photos. The sound and the hifi qualities of these speakers is way above what I expected. The source is my phone and apple music, so not the highest quality streaming service or DAC u can have. I would say that these active speakers sound at least as good as budget separate system (think NAD, ROTEL,etc) from the 90's. For £300 i don't think you can ask any more.The highest complement i can pay these speaker is that they've got me listening to more music.

The media could not be loaded.  Originally was shopping for monitors for my synthesizer, and stumbled across reviews for these speakers. Saw a sound demo of Edifier speakers vs JBL monitors and they went toe to toe, but having the Bluetooth capability so that I can listen to my music on command via Alexa (Amazon Unlimited) was the tipping point. These speakers are excellently packaged and well protected during delivery. The package was 45 lbs. cuz these speakers are built like a tank! The real solid wood sides are rather attractive and the speaker covers are also elegant and sleek, but are sheer allowing the looks of the drivers and tweeters to be appreciated. They don't seem to diffuse the sound at all IMO.Now, for the record, I'm new to the speaker game, but I've listened to some outstanding audiophile approved equipment, so I appreciate hearing music as it was meant to be heard, and these speakers opened up old familiar tunes and brought out detail and nuance. I couldn't stop grinning for an hour when I plugged it in, connected the two speakers with the surprisingly robust cable, and connected my echo dot via Bluetooth. My 21 year old daughter said it simply and best when she remarked "These speakers are making me really excited about music!" I've only had them a few days and haven't even finished a burn in, but they have met and exceeded expectations thus far. I moved them into an adjacent bedroom with the door shut to paint and enjoy music, and thanks to Bluetooth aptx they suffer absolutely no connection issues. Still yet to hook them up to my Korg synthesizer, but I am expecting that to sound amazing as well. The 120W provide plenty of room filling sound and would excel as home theater speakers as well with excellent bass response. I sense no distortion of sound even at max volume, which is pretty darn loud. Truthfully, I wanted the Edifier S2000Pro, but Edifier has taken them off the market for some reason, so I went with these after seeing so many glowing reviews. I love them and wish I could take them with me everywhere I go. My next purchase will be some proper speaker stands, so they can be elevated to an optimal listening position. An excellent investment for lovers of music!UPDATE: Had these for about 5 weeks now and I got some Edifier speaker stands which put them at the perfect height for my man cave. Highly recommend them. Also found that wire connecting my Amazon echo dot to the speakers gives even more powerful sound than bluetooth. Also, the synthesizer sounds awesome through them! I attached a video of my daughter just fiddling around with my Korg running thru the speakers, but it's just a phone video that doesn't do it justice.February 2019 UPDATE: These speakers still perform flawlessly. I use them to play music, basically all my instruments (synth, guitar, vocals, drum machine), and bluetooth my phone thru them on occasion. Its so easy to transition between them all with the remote. I have been so happy with them I bought some smaller Edifiers for my office at work.December 2019 Update: These speakers are still kickin butt, with frequent, nearly daily use. And they are on and powered pretty much 100% of the time. Last weekend, I used them outside for a Christmas movie display outside in the front yard. We had a projector displaying onto a movie screen and watched Elf, Christmas Vacation & Die Hard, and the Edifiers took care of the sound. There was a small amount of frost on them by the time we finished but they are still working flawlessly. These speakers may be the best music entertainment purchase I have ever made.

Have owned for a few months. Loud, warm, dynamic. Beautiful low end, shimmering high end. They look and sound incredible.
