EdifierR1700BT Active Bookshelf Speakers Near-field Studio Monitors Powered 2.0 Speaker Setup Wooden Enclosure 66w RMS- White

Firstly the speakers look really cool... probably not the most important attribute when buying speakers, but hey, we all like good looking things don't we.I wanted a good quality set of speakers for my new WFH (Working From Home) setup and even though I've always had much cheaper PC speakers in the past, which have worked faultlessly and sounded perfectly acceptable, I wanted to go a 'step up' with my new desk. If I'm going to be using something for 7 hours a day, 5 days a week, then good quality becomes a little more warranted.All the Edifier speakers have pretty good reviews and even though I was prepared to spend a little bit more I liked the look and size of these, so got them. They feel robust, well engineered and well built, with all the tactile and visual impressions of a quality product. £139 is probably a little much for PC speakers, but strictly speaking they are listed as bookshelf speakers not PC speakers. However, a little purpose re-appropriation is needed during these changing times were living in.The sound is clear, crisp, and clean even at loud volumes, and they can go very loud indeed; way louder than I though or would ever really have use for in this setting. They would do well in a small house gathering where reasonable volumes of music are required in a large living room.The functions and controls are basic, concise and intuitive, so aside from a perhaps little reading for Bluetooth pairing, you'll probably never need to consult the manual. I didn't even know they had Bluetooth when I ordered them, so this is a nice bonus. I wanted speakers that could handle input from both my desktop, and work laptop easily, and the two phono inputs make this a breeze.The six button remote is functional and easy to navigate, though the dead on arrival battery had me initially feeling the product was faulty, a quick battery change averted my initial disappointment and I was back in business.The frequency spectrum is pretty well reproduced throughout the high and mid frequencies and the sound clarity is quite striking. The bass is deep, solid and punchy without being booming or overbearing in the higher bass frequencies as is common with speakers this size. Even though I have heard more impressive bass from speakers similarly sized, I have to take into account the price point, which makes these very impressive indeed. I didn't actually test the Bluetooth connection seeing as I've not really got much need for it (yet), so can't comment on it's performance, but connecting is relatively straight forward.Anyway, I'm very pleased with them and think they make a great addition to my setup.The one aspect I found oddly niggling is the fact the the top surface is not flat/horizontal, so I can't actually put anything on top of them, but again, these are really for a bookshelf so I have to let this irk slide on account that they were not meant to be Desk pedestal's.Highly recommended.

Simple to set up, connected with my bluetooth record player instantly and sound so good. I decided to try these after seeing the positive reviews on line and I'm glad I did. They have plenty of bass and treble which are both adjustable on the speaker's or the remote control. There's also plenty of cable length and my jazz lp's sound fantastic. Much better than the price suggests especially in a smaller room .

For the price amazing value and sound quality.Even though there were not open sounding enough while lacking dynamics and sound separation for me personally.I wish I paid extra for the far more expensive range.I'll put these in my bedroom and get a far better pair for the main living room.But I have reviewed these to be fair taken into the price range.If this is your budget then don't hesitate to buy them.

Okay speakers but a bit light on bassI might relocate them and see if I can get a different/ better sound to which I’m happy with

Bluetooth or jack. Bluetooth works very well in the home with my mac and ipad. I didn't want the number of cables that routinely come with a standard PC audio speaker and subwoofer. I have one cable linking the main speaker to the other one, which is c3.5/4m in length meaning you can, if you want, get good separation between them.I've put the speakers on the desk to give an idea of size alongside a 21" monitor. I normally have them on the floor next to the desk (soon to be a couple of small speakers stands). Sound is crisp and pure, bass is really good. Better all round sound than my previous PC speaker and subwoofer system. Volume control via keyboard, remote control or the master speaker which also includes bass and treble settings. Look good, sound great.

I bought these in March 2021, so I've certainly got my use out of them, this morning I woke up to find I could no longer turn the Speakers on properly and the light was flashing green occasionally. On research throughout the web, it seems I'm not the only person with this issue and theres no real fix it seems.So my honest review is, these speakers are fantastic!! As long as you don't expect to keep them for longer than 3 years, which is a great shame as I would have kept using them for at least another 2 years.

We were looking for some speakers to go with our new turntable, plus use with Bluetooth when connected to our Echo 8.They work great, sound quality if perfect for us.Loads of connectivityBuild quality is very good, nice solid and weighty.We love them

The media could not be loaded. In the video they are not full volume.Amazing sound quality, verry nice build quality. Never had a issue with the Bluetooth. I bought them instead of buying an soundbar and I am not disappointed. Love them. I'll buy another set for the pc. Totally worth it.
