Edifier R1850DB Active Bookshelf Speakers with Bluetooth and Optical Input - 2.0 Studio Monitor Speaker - Built-in Amplifier with Subwoofer Line Out

The speaker and sound quality are impressive! Edifier has a lot of speakers to choose from, just BE CAREFUL that the model you're looking at has all the options you're expecting. There's a reason one model might be $20 or $50 cheaper than another. An "active" speaker has an amplifier built into it; a "passive" one will only go as loud as the device it's receiving input from can go. If you want great sound standing alone, then get a powered ("active") speaker system like this one. Also, if you're going to (or think you might in the future) hook up a powered subwoofer to it, then pay attention t

I shopped for weeks to find the right speakers for my home office which is centrally-located in the main living area of our house and where I play a lot of different kinds of music. I spent a good deal of time shopping powered studio monitors to avoid the need for an amp/more wires. They had to have sufficient power to work in both near-field application for when I’m at my desk, but also to fill our wide open floor plan with sound when I’m not. And while I appreciate the idea of a subwoofer and even went so far as to shop 2.1 setups as well, I am also a big fan of 2-channel listening. Opting f

I was considering the Edifier s350db 2.1 set for 300 dollars, but I think the r1850db set paired with a sub are a better option. I also think it's likely the best overall bookshelf speaker Edifier sells since it's the only set they sell with a sub-out. You also get an optical input with that sub-out in addition to the 2x RCAs and bluetooth. The input/outputs on the 1850 are the best of their entire range, even the more premium $300/$400 Edifier sets don't have all of them. You effectively get to have both 2.0 and 2.1 setups in one with this set of speakers.Why buy the r1850db 2.0 speakers over

I have pretty good ears. I used to be a professional audio engineer. My ears ring a bit now from those days, but I still hear better than most people I know because my hearing is trained.These speakers are quite good. I got them on sale for 140 bucks--a real steal. They're in my living/dining/kitchen open-concept area. The low-end response is really impressive for a pair of 4 inch drivers. Very surprising. Keep in mind that I have them on a wood floor and up against the wall, which helps reinforce the bass.The transition up the frequency range through mids and into highs is relatively smooth.

I've had these speakers for almost 6 years now, realized I never reviewed them. Got them to use as my TV speakers although I do occasionally play music through them as well. Honestly, I love them, they've worked flawlessly since I got them. I've never had an issue. I'm very happy with the volume, sound quality, bass etc but I'm not an audiophile. I just know it's bounds better than my TV speakers, and my computer speakers.Things to consider, I don't know where the remote is. I haven't used it since I set it up, it's just always on. I have it connected to my TV through the optical chord, and ou

I love these speakers because of the Bluetooth connectivity the bass the sound quality definitely worth the $200 price.

I purchased the R1850DB speakers to use as studio monitors when working with audio files on my computer. Thus, my review is using them in this regard, rather than as TV speaker replacements. Overall, very good with a few minor nits. One thing that makes these great is the ability to use the optical audio directly from my Mac without a separate sound processor required, which saves about $100 - $250.Pros:- The sound is very flat (which is a good thing for studio monitors). No discernible bright or dead frequency ranges that I have noticed.- They are not too large, which is also good since I did

I have a small-ish office and for a while have had a small battery-powered Bluetooth speaker that was barely better than my iPhone's built-in speaker. I wanted a speaker (system) that had real sound... something I've been sorely missing in today's portable-speaker world.I splurged a bit and order this system. My R1850DB box arrived today and I have to say that for my needs and wants this system is FABULOUS. I have no idea about maximum volume... I work in a professional office and will never test the system's limits. I will tell you that I am listening to it right now, after hours, at a modera
