Edifier S1000MKII Audiophile Active Bookshelf 2.0 Speakers - 120w Speakers Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD - Optical Input - S1000MK2 Powered Near-Field Monitor Speaker with Class D Amp

These are great sounding speakers. I was/am pleasantly surprised at their richness and clarity. They are super easy to hook up and use, plugging directly on to my turntable and powered with an AC plug into a wall outlet. I did have to purchase a longer speaker to speaker connecting cable to be able to place my speakers where I wanted them, the one that comes with them is about 15ft long and I got one from the manufacturer that is 9m/29.5ft long so I could run the cable along the wall and behind furniture so that is hidden and out of the way. The remote control works great and is very easy to use. So far the bluetooth has connected to both my iPhone and iPad with no fuss at all. They are just over 13 in tall, 7 in wide, 10 in deep and weigh about 16 lbs each. They also can get very loud with no distortion or hum, but can also play the softer mellow stuff at a nice low level. Also they look pretty good too.

Absolutely incredible !!! The wood cabinet is beautiful and well crafted. The sound is beyond my expectations. I bought them for my 55 " Visioo TV. I connected with the optical cable. The blue tooth function was an extra plus. I play my music from my phone. Super easy set up. I couldn't have asked for more.

As someone who enthused over "high fi" speakers in the 1950s, I'm accustomed to prices that are much higher than these top-rated Edifier transducers, which look sexy and sound smoother than their edgy appearance. My first AR2, or Henry Kloss speaker (also, KLH, Advent, Tivoli) was almost $200 for a single speaker, and my JBL Athena speakers (high efficiency West Coast sound, with a 14" woofer) cost twice that--for a modest-looking, unobtrusive bookshelf speaker with a lattice wood grill). These Edifier S1000's understandably impressed the reviewers ("Consumer Reports"), who placed them ahead of dozens of more expensive speakers. As an audio "purist" who listens to classical music and jazz, my "snobbish" preference is for non-amplifed, "passive" JBL Athena's and Wharfdale's over a powered unit. I was tempted to bring a favorite existing speaker into the living room for use with a TV screen, until questions about placement of amplifier, turntable, albums, etc. led me to look to the convenience of powered speakers with Bluetooth connectivity. Although I hear more natural and realistic piano sounds in my preferred speakers, these powerful Edifiers are superior for movie soundscapes and large orchestral settings. They may not be "quite" as satisfying as very good "passive" speakers, but the convenience, practicality and value made purchase of the Edifier 1000's a no-brainer decision. When not screening (or streaming) movies, I'm listening to jazz recordings on which I'm attentive to the ring of the ride cymbal and the "chic" of the high hat along with pitch-identifiable "walking bass" sounds. Most speakers simply don't capture the force of Art Blakey's drums or the pulse and interplay of Joe Morello's kit. Active speakers simply aren't "tuned" to bring out these sounds, and my passive JBL's simply do a better job in capturing and representing these frequencies as we experience them "in nature." Nevertheless, I'm happy to keep these Edifier powered speakers for my home theater and symphony recordings --- especially now that I've finally begun to solve the problem of BLUETOOTH transmitting ONLY to the left ("passive") speaker. With wired connections--from a player or TV set (using optical cable)--the sound from the Edifier S1000 is strong in both speakers. But when transmitting wirelessly thru Bluetooth (I tried 3 differ iPhones), audio was going to only one speaker. If I were unable to find a fix, I'd return these and try a Bose Soundlink Flex speaker (the reviews are most compelling, and I was amazed by the Bose Soundlink Mini that my wife brought home as part of her deal for a new iPhone). Previously, NBA games on my big Samsung TV were so noisy that the announcers' voices were inaudible for much of the game. Her Bose speaker arrived with its own "internal intelligence," which muted the crowd noise and made the play-by-play come through loud and clear. Edifier is located in China, and I assumed response, if any, would be slow and minimal. To my surprise, a tech person at Edifier immediately answered by question about a channel drop-out. His questions in turn led me back to my iPhone, which revealed that the AT&T store had transferred my old and damaged iPhone unto its replacement, an iPhone 13. Since practically all of my players and transmitters had been corrupted by the "genetic flaw" inherited from the damaged phone, I could give Edifier a pass only after proving that the speakers were capable of reproducing a Bluetooth signal accurately, with each speaker representing the audio information unique to its channel. Finally, I convinced a tech-inclined friend that the problem, in all likelihood, was not with the speakers or with my overly fastidious, demanding temperament. He brought a phone that had not absorbed any of the bad karma in my iPhones, and by using its Bluetooth we determined that the Edifiers were up to speed--violins from left channel; cellos and bass fiddles from right channel; the conductor and the listener right in between these 2 unique sources for a satisfying, accurate, and most realistic soundstage. (Leonard Bernstein's / Stephen Spielberg's "West Side Story" never sounded better!) In conclusion, Edifier is #1--for this speaker and for its responsiveness to consumers' questions. But, finally, I've got to absolve the iPhone from blame. As the character from Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" says: "The fault lies not with the stars--not even with Apple or Steve Jobs--but with the distracted dude who allows his iPhone to squirt out of his hands and fall to the cement floor below--not once but repeatedly."

At first, I honestly didn’t love them. They felt underwhelming, especially given the hype on Youtube. But over time, they’ve started to grow on me. That said, there are some limitations that are hard to ignore: Pros: Clean, balanced sound – They shine most when used as TV surround sound speakers. Compact and stylish – The wood grain look is sleek and fits in with most setups. Easy setup – Plug-and-play with multiple input options, including Bluetooth and optical. Cons: Overpriced – At around $500, they’re competing with setups that offer much more power and flexibility. No app connectivity – You can’t use Edifier’s app which is frustrating. No multi-speaker pairing – You cannot link these with other Edifier speakers for multi-room audio. Remote dependent – You need the remote to switch inputs, which isn’t ideal if it gets lost or damaged. Final Verdict: If these were closer to $350, I’d probably give them 5 stars. But at $500, it’s hard to justify the cost given the lack of modern features. They sound good, and they’re growing on me—but for the price, I want more.

Estou super satisfeito com a compra. Qualidade de som é muito bom para qualquer tipo da música.

Awsome sound, no need for a sub-woofer at a reasonable level. Beautiful finish. I listen to various style of music, rock, electronic, classic, new wave, with few modifications you find the correct atmosphere for your taste. The best sound is when you stand at least 10 feet from the speakers. With 120 watts of power you fill a medium size room (20 x 20) with excellent, clean decibels.

Very Fast delivery, Quality speakers, well worth the price.

El sonido es delicioso, la calidad de construcción es excelente, no he notado distorsión, aún en volumen alto. Los graves tienen muy buena calidad y he disfrutado muchísimo mis bocinas. Pensaría en actualizarlas a la versión con WiFi, pero fráncamente conectarme por bluetooth o a través de Alexa (también con bluetooth) no es ningún tipo de complicación. Las tengo conectadas también a mi pantalla de tv con cable óptico y es mil veces mejor que cualquier barra de sonido para tv.

Valen la pena, buena calidad de materiales, y excelente audio, evitate comprar amplificador y bocinas por separado. Reparte muy bien los sonidos entre una y otra bocina(stereo), Creo q es la mejor opción para entrar al mundo del Audio de más calidad q el promedio común. Han sido catalagodas como la mejor compra en su tipo(Bookshelf) por el NYTimes y otros medios importantes también. Las tengo en un área de 50m2 y la verdad llenande sobra. Recomiendo usarlas con la app Tidal, ya q da mejor calidad de audio. Super recomendables. Solo checa si el color madera aplica a tu decoración, en la mía van muy bien.Buy them, you won't regret it. Best bang for the buck for a quality audio starter. Despues de un año con ellas, sigue opinando que son la mejor opción, por el precio q tienen no encuntras algo mejor. Lampuedes usar en lugar de una barra de sonido también. No distorsionan aún al máximo de volumen.
