Review: Bluetooth Speakers - I’ve been genuinely impressed with these Edifier powered Bluetooth speakers. They deliver clear, rich sound that fills the room without distortion, giving music, podcasts, and movies way more presence than you’d expect for the price. The balance between lows, mids, and highs is excellent — everything from deep bass lines to vocals and high notes come through clean and well-defined. That makes them a great all-around choice whether you’re listening casually, streaming videos, or hosting friends. Pairing via Bluetooth is smooth and reliable, and the wireless freedom means I can easily switch between devices or place them wherever sounds best in the space. They also look great on a shelf or desk thanks to their classic design. For anyone who wants quality audio without hauling around extra gear, these hit the mark. Overall, they feel like a really high-value purchase and powerful and enjoyable every time you use them. I’d easily call them a five-star pick.
Review: Great Audio at a Great Price! - I have a set of R1850DB's that I have been using for many years now, and seeing as I have updated my gaming and typing desk setup, I wanted some new bookshelf speakers so that I could use the existing set for the living room TV. I wanted Edifier speakers again, since the previous set worked so well, sounded so good, and lasted a long time. These are sexy, simple, and one major plus is that the controls on the right speaker are on the side, instead of the back. No more having to stand up and reach behind the speaker to operate the controls. I know they have a remote but I prefer using the knobs and buttons... Now I can adjust what I need much easier (even though these come with a remote too :p) I think these sound great, and even though I am not an audiophile, I can find happiness in even a mediocre sound system (my car >,>.) At my desk, when I am watching videos, movies, and shows; or when I am gaming, I do enjoy a nice, premium sound, especially for the price. The main difference is the way the speakers connect. The previous set had a cable, this set has the speaker wire that has exposed copper to feed into the pinchy things that clamp down and secure them. I don't mind the wire that the set came with, but I wanted something prettier, so I bought some 16AWG speaker wire that looks nicer and cut it to length, which means I wont have excess either! I will be getting the T5 Edifier sub as well, that will be coming in this week. It is in no way a reflection of how I feel about the sound and depth of these speakers, I think they sound awesome as they are. I have never had a sub though, and adding the sub to my new setup is a way to try something more immersive especially for multimedia consumption and gaming! Overall, I can easily recommend these speakers. They look and sound awesome, and can get really loud and deeply heavy for bookshelf speakers. Nice, clear sound, and easy to use controls. I know that particularly in audio, there is such a wide range of preferences. Audio is highly subjective. It can also be extremely convoluted and confusing, regarding function, form, sound, connectivity and compatibility between different platforms, etc... In regards to this set of speakers and my limited knowledge of audio equipment, I can definitely say with confidence that they are extremely worth the price, and I would argue that most people would be perfectly happy with them! :)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long are all the cables included?**
A: 1.5M/4.9-feet optical cable 
1.7M/5.5-feet audio cables 
2.5M/8.2-feet speakers connection cable

**Q: what comes in the box**
A: 2 shelf speakers, about a 20 ft 2 cond wire from right to left speaker, a 120ac power cube and cables to provide power to the right speaker. A wireless remote control, and a manual.  I believe that to be the entire list, but I may have missed something small.  All of the electronics is in ghe right speaker. There are plugs on the right speaker to accept inputs from two audio inputs, spdif fiber, and coax audio.  You can select between these inputs or bluetooth with buttons on the remote control, as well as mute or power on/off the speakers.

**Q: do i need a built in pre-amp turntable for these?**
A: Yes, your turntable will need a preamp.

**Q: I bought this one.  Are there any product which can make it have better sound quality?**
A: If you want to pay an a and a leg for speakers, there may be better souning ones. I bought them for a bedroom system, not my main entertainment system. Flat screens used to have ok sound, but know due to the almost "framelss" style they are very bad These speakers, greatly enhanced the sound for my Samsung flat screen. I bought them because they had an optical input, which I needed as that is the only audio output on the tv.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality and looks normal. Great for most setups
*by T***Y on March 8, 2026*

Very neat and compact set of speakers, IMO its a little too directional so they feel more like studio monitors and they can get very loud. nice sound profile for most music. the remote kinda sucks which is unfortunate. it often take multiple inputs for it to register once
