Edifier S2000MKIII Bookshelf Bluetooth Speakers 2.0 with Bluetooth - 130W Studio Monitor Speakers for Audiophiles with Wireless Input, Line-In and Optical Input

I held off on buying this system because I just couldn't wrap my head around such a small pair of speakers being able to recreate deep bass and clear bright mids and treble. I'm here to tell you these thing are epic, I got a chance to hear them at a friend's house and was blown away. You will spend hours just listening to old music to hear it again for the first time. Now hear me out these are not meant to be whole house party speakers. They are book shelf speakers. I have a pair of cerwin Vegas LS-12 hooked up to a high end amp and a mid range receiver running it all via a hard wired laptop. That set up is more for whole house parties. But that set up takes up an entire entertainment center and cost about 9 times what this stand alone system costs. I wanted something small and elegant for my bedroom for when I want to lay in bed and scroll SoundCloud for new music. I am a lover of EDM and there really is no point in listening to EDM unless you have a system to hit the bass ranges necessary to appreciate EDM. These speakers do require a bit of fine tuning to find the sweet spot for best results. Mine are about 6 inches from the backwall and roughly 5 feet apart on a stand that toes them in and down to essential aim them directly at my eyeline and are roughly 10 feet directly in front of me where I lay in bed. Any good indoor speaker system is going to require some research as to the best way to place it. If you just stick them in a corner in a gigantic room they are not going to function properly. But I promise you that when you find the sweet spot you will be able to close your eyes and your music will literally come to life on an invisible sound stage right in front of your eyes. The beauty is that they are easy to move They really don't come to life until you get the volume past level 40. But from 40-47 they jump to life and carry you into a music world few ever get to take part in. The bass and treble adjustments make it easy to make any form of music suit your listening preference. Personally I like dynamic mode with bass at 3/4 and treble at just less than 3/4. I'm feeling bass levels I don't get out of my 12 inch floorstand speakers. Like feel it in your chest bass. The beauty is that even at high volumes it doesn't distort or get "farty" sounding. 48 is about the highest I would take them but at that level I tend to turn the bass down to a little over 1/2 way. I don't like to listen to music at a level that is uncomfortable to the ears over a long period. I'd rather have a ton of bass fluctuations at low volume rather than muffled combined indistinguishable noise at high volumes. They truly are hitting way above their value proposition. I got mine on sale during Black Friday for $350. The sound they produce is comparable to my large entertainment system that cost 3k. Sure with my more expensive system I can rattle the windows in the whole house but this will rattle the windows in the one room it is designed to shine in. I don't know exactly how it's possible to have such great sound come out of bookshelf speakers but they have done it. I'm just kicking myself for not pulling the trigger 3 years ago when I was first introduced to powered bookshelf speakers. I've listened to some other powered bookshelf speakers and they were also quite amazing but they also cost 4 times what these did. And they didn't have the ability to play with the bass or treble. Trust me you won't be disappointed. Do a bit of research on speaker placement and play around with set ups and you will be blown away that 2 little speakers can push out rumbling punchy bass that hits like a powered sub. I could not be happier with these and for $350 I can honestly say it's the best value for the money I've ever spent on a sound system. Also I do 90% of my listening using the Bluetooth feature via my SoundCloud Pro unlimited app which is an upgraded listening quality and it sounds amazing even through BT. Ive brought friends up to my room to hear them and they are always like holy crap how is it possible to get that sound out of this small system. Even at their regular pice between $450-$500 I would still be extremely happy. Just do it already:):) There is one annoying downside that others have mentioned. The remote is not ideal and hard to read without a very bright direct light. But for me I have them set to the preference I like with the volume at 47 and I just control the volume via my phone and never turn them off so I don't need the remote. I just sync my phone whenever I want to listen to them and it works perfectly.

Where to start.. Comes with plenty of accessories to use all the input/output it offers, really good packaging. They are quite heavy for their size, which is not surprising since they comes with everything integrated, but heaviness is almost always a good indicator of quality when it comes to audio equipment, except for these fake white van hoax home theater system. The cable that join both speakers is thick and long, seems well made, but some may hate it. Built quality is fantastic, they feels good, solid and well assembled. The wood finish is gorgeous and in general, feels like a way more expensive speaker. Knob are sturdy, connection seems sturdy too. Wish it came with detachable power connector like his bigger brother. The remote that comes with it is OK, made out of plastic, but feels good in the hand. Wish it came with built-in LED inside to easily use it when it's dark. Sound wise, if I had to use one word to describe the sound profile, it would be ''Full''. The sound that comes out of these small puppies will leave you speechless. The bass is deep, all the way down to 32Hz which has a small peak that gives a nice rumble during movie scene and music (Tho it will depend on your rooms since before adding sound panel on my walls, I had almost no response under 38Hz) I invited friends to listen to these speakers and every time, they were baffled by how low they goes for their size, really feels like you have a subwoofer in your room, Thanks DSP. The mids are clean and precise, somewhat forward but in a nice way. Vocals, instruments have a great separation and details that I could not even hear on my expensive earphones. For example, While listening to ''Time'' by Hans Zimmer, I can hear the guitar riff clearly even when all the string instruments are at their loudest, before the sudden silent. In movies, this is also really enjoyable because voices are presented almost like you had a center speaker. Thanks to the planar tweeter, the high are crisp and detailed and never fatiguing, except if you put the high frequency knob to the maximum. Everything is rendered beautifully, from cymbal in music to shattered glass in movies, there is nothing left behind. There is 4 sound profiles that you can select with the remote, I only use ''dynamic'' since it is the most enjoyable setting to my ear. Flat is... flat, like really flat, the sames as when you drink a opened Coke that was in the cooler for 2 weeks, nothing enjoyable about that. And the 2 others coloured the sound a bit too much for my taste in a way that it isn't as full sounding. In general, if you're looking for a good looking, good sounding, minimalist speakers setup to use with your TV or just for music listening purposes, these are a really good all-in-one do-it-all speakers. No need for an external amplifier, DAC, or subwoofer, they do everything.

Excelentes bocinas activas. Antes de comprar reflexiona si quieres estas bocinas para muchos años sin cambiarlas. De otra forma te recomiendo el clásico: amplificador-bocinas pasivas donde podrás hacer cambios cuando se te ocurra de cualquiera de los dos componentes. Dicho esto, el sonido es excelente tanto para vinilos como cd y no se diga lo sorprendente que es reproduciendo fuentes digitales o de streaming. El bluetooth es excelente y el dac conversor que soporta APTX hace que los mp3 desde mi celular (que también soporta APTX) se escuchen muy bien. Los vinilos, cds y streaming de lujo. No soporta mqa. Si lo quieres tendrás que comprar un dac que lo tenga y conectarlo a los parlantes. El volumen (que también llaman ganancia) es fuerte pero sin distorsionar. Llena mi sala que es abierta, unos 90mt cuadrados y le sobra. Tiene unos graves muy buenos. Si te gusta el ponchis ponchis estos parlantes no son para ti ya que no traen entrada dedicada para subwoofer, pero no te preocupes, le puedes comprar un dac amplificador con entrada dedicada. Muy buenos altos sin ser sibilantes o que te causen fatiga auditiva. Los medios son bastante buenos y se nota en las voces femeninas y masculinas. Cómo sea, los Edifier tienen mandos físicos para graves y altos así como 4 modos de pre equalización. Si aún quieres más, puedes utilizar el ecualizador de la aplicación de tu reproductor de teléfono o del programa que utilices para reproducir tu biblioteca digital de tu lap o compu. Contras: cuando quieras cambiar tu equipo lo tendrás que hacer con todo (bocinas, amplificador y pre); no tiene salida dedicada para subwoofer; el cable de conexión entre la bocina activa y la pasiva es muy largo como de 2,30 de largo, sin embargo a muchos les servirá para la colocación remota de una de ellas. En general le pongo 5 estrellas Tengo un mes con ellas escuchándolas cuatro o cinco horas diarias y no he notado ruidos extraños o distorsión. Aún así me reservo para actualizar esta reseña más adelante. Actualización. Después de dos meses de tener y oír las bocinas, sigo pensando que son una maravilla. Las he probado con todas las entradas y salidas que tiene, también con streaming de video (películas) y música, PC, CD, Viniles, etc y el sonido es magnífico. Siendo necio y queriendo “mejorar” la calidad de sonido, lo conecté a los dacs SMSL AO300 y el IFI Zen ONE Signature y créanme que no le agrega mucho (termine devolviendo ambos), acaso las entradas para audífonos o la dedicada para subwoofer (no lo necesita), pero en mi humilde opinión ninguna de las dos vale la pena para mejorar la calidad del sonido y sobre todo para el precio que tienen. Solamente una cuestión, cuando subes el volumen al máximo (ganancia) la vibración en el mueble donde las tengo hacía que se distorsionara el sonido y se percibía ostensiblemente (me asusté), todo quedó arreglado bajándolas al suelo, pero como no me quería quedar ahí adquirí unas almohadillas de aislamiento de vibración con sistema de esferas de acero (nada caras) y todo se resolvió magnifícamente. Los cables de conexión son los mismos que venían con las bocinas y de verdad no producen ningún jizz y el sonido es muy cristalino (ahórrate comprar cables caros). Estoy totalmente complacido con mis parlantes, tanto que he compartido con amigos sesiones de música y ahora ellos quieren tener unos iguales.

todos vamos ahí por la vida atravesando diferentes desgastes de nuestra audición, lo que nos vuelve mas sensibles a ciertas frecuencias, algunos necesitan mas graves, otros mas agudos, etc,, no quiere decir que unos estén bien y los otros no, simplemente cada quien sus gustos y sensibilidad, en mi caso soy mas sensible a los agudos y me gustan que estén presentes pero controlados, estas bocinas tienen una buena imagen y soundstage al centro para los que me entiendan, pero a mi me causaron algo de fatiga en los agudos, pero con el Dac smsl su9 que tengo precisamente porque me gusto su claridad y agudos presentes pero controlados, los edifier s2000 han sido maravillosos, hay ocasiones en que le vendría bien un subwoofer, pero para la mayoría de las ocasiones los graves cumplen y los recomendaría por encima de incluso de la barra de sonido sonos arc, el combo de dac y estas bocinas es mucho mejor y a menos que encuentres una buena oferta de las barras de sonido, este combo es mas barato, y también en México es difícil y costoso conseguir un buen amplificador para bocinas pasivas, con estas solo te hace falta el Dac si les quieres sacar el jugo, el detalle es el de siempre, todas las speakers bookshelfs debes asegurarte de poner el tweeter a aproximadamente a la altura del oído y separarlas para que cada una te aviente el sonido de tu derecha e izquierda, ósea que si no tienes el espacio para ponerlas igual y no te satisfacen, pero estas ya son cosas de gente mas entusiasta del sonido y eso ya lo saben, si eres principiante y las quieres para tu televisión y usar el netflix o cosas de streaming, estas buscando en la sección equivocada, comprate una barra de sonido, la que te guste o los edifier basicos creo que son los r1280, suenan como cualquier barra pero si tienes el espacio a los lados de tu tele, se ven bonitos, simplemente el streaming de video no amerita sistemas complejos de audio, estas cosas si requieren discos para que valga el gasto

As an audiophile with a penchant for the finer sounds in life, I've traversed the sonic spectrum with high-end headphones, state-of-the-art amps, and an unyielding loyalty to uncompressed music. So, when my 20x20 garage workshop beckoned for a musical companion, my quest led me to the Edifier MKIII speakers. And oh, what a melodious journey it has been! After a few months of tuning in, I'm ready to sing praises (literally, thanks to these speakers). For its price point, the MKIII is a true virtuoso, delivering a sound quality that can make a symphony jealous. Sure, there are cheaper Bluetooth speakers lurking in the shadows of mediocrity, but if your goal is to serenade a 20x20 space with crystal-clear sound and a bass that hums sweet nothings to your soul, the MKIII is your maestro. Now, a word to the bass-hungry youth: If you're chasing that Honda-Civic-shaking, neighbor-waking, tooth-rattling bass, you might want to look elsewhere. The MKIII doesn't allow you to hook up an external subwoofer, and these speakers are not 10-inch woofers. But for those who've graduated from the school of seismic bass and yearn for a mature, robust sound that won't have the neighbors forming an angry mob, this is your jam, as they still put out enough bass for my wonderful wife to complain from inside the house about 100 feet away. Here's the twist – I adored these speakers so much that they've been promoted from my garage to the VIP section of my house: my bedroom. And now, with a speaker-shaped void in my garage, I'm on the prowl for another set. I snagged the first pair during a Black Friday sale (a steal, really), and I'm eagerly awaiting another deal to pounce on. In summary, even at their regular price, the Edifier MKIII speakers are a steal. So, whether you want to rock out in your garage or create a serene oasis in your bedroom, these speakers are your ticket to an auditory paradise. Happy listening!
