Edifier R980T 4in Active Bookshelf Speakers - 2.0 Computer Speaker - Powered Studio Monitor (Pair)

I just hooked these R980T's up and played Benassi - Love is Gonna Save Us which I find to my ears a good test for bass and overall responsiveness and these speakers (for the money) are a fantastic value. I bought these as a replacement for a pair of Creative Gigaworks T20's (the left speaker was DOA). What are the points of the comparison between those two speakers? Well, they worked right out of the box, so that's one for the Edifiers. They are substantially heavier and made with real wood versus plastic for the T20's. They are substantially wider and deeper which probably explains some of the weight. They sound incredible for $100 speakers ($Cdn) it's almost hard to believe they are that cheap. Pretty good highs and mids and the bass is only ok, but together they sound very pleasant to the ears. I have some very nice atmos speakers for a home entertainment system along with a high-end sub that provides a sort of auditory-ecstasy, and of course, these speakers don't sound as good as that....but these are only $100. They do not have knobs for volume, bass, and power on the front which is a bit of a bummer for me, but I think that I will get used to using the computer volume control. I would recommend these to a friend in a heartbeat, in particular for a bedroom or even a small living room as they can fill a decent sized room with sound. They are super impressive bookshelf speakers. If you have $100Cdn (or much less in $US) then can't go wrong with these.

Exelente producto, satisfecho con los bajos que otorga, suficiente potencia para una sala de estarMe gustó mucho!!!! ya llevo un año y medio con los altavoces y sigen funcionando muy bien.acutalizacion(2022): Exelente producto, llevo ya casi tres años con ellos y siguen funcionando genial. A pesar de ser de la gama baja suenan increíble vale la pena si es que estas buscando tus primeros altavoces en stereo 100% recomendados, edifier muy buena marca.

I bought my first turntable last week and everyone kept saying to find Edifiers. I kept striking out on Marketplace and eBay, so I hopped over here and noticed how expensive the higher end speakers were. On a whim, chose these and hoped for the best.They look higher quality IRL than in pictures, with a black grainy wood. I hardly have the volume up and you’d almost think I had subwoofers. The bass, stacked vocal lines, and other instruments shine through. If you’re in an apartment, be careful! But if you have a house, you could easily mimic the bodily feeling of a small concert if you blasted these speakers.I was giddy as hell playing my very first vinyl through these speakers and had a dance party alone, lol.Noting that the instructions state to go to the Edifier website, but there are no videos on set-up. The instructions up to a certain point helps, but I needed to go to YouTube to figure out how to connect the passive speaker to the active and turntable. Also had to upgrade to a larger storage set-up the next day, lol. These are the right size for an apartment or small house.Since I’m a newbie, these will be perfect for a while, but if I keep up with the hobby long-term, I’ll upgrade to a higher end Edifier.10/10 worth it.

for the price you can not go wrong, loud, clear and with good baseonly negative thing is the volume control is on the back of them BUT i just use the windows volume control on my PC.

Only for desktop. Don't expect to use TV home theaters
