- Edifier S1000W WiFi Audiophile Active Bookshelf 2.0 Speakers, 120W RMS Wireless HiFi Bluetooth Sound System Works with Alexa, Optical/RCA x 2 Coaxial, Supports AirPlay 2, Spotify Tidal Connect- Pair

Briefly, looking for wireless speakers for my wife in a new house. There seems to be a lot of junk out there, small single speakers and the like, maybe not really junk. Also, I was really learning about bluetooth speakers, never having purchased them before. I stumbled upon these, this was roughly the price range I was looking for, and the reviews here and elsewhere were generally positive We set them up and we were all blown away by (a) how good they sound for bookshelf speakers that are not that large (though heavy, especially the one with the amp in it, the right one); the bass is good, better than I expected across a range of music, and that's leaving the bass control in the neutral position, the mids and highs are excellent, the volue is fine for an open-ended living room that abuts the kitchen; and (b) the ease of connecting via bluetooth across different sources (multiple cell phones, my laptop, my wife's tablet); amd (c) combining (a) and (b), the sound coming through these bluetooth speakers was remarkable, my first expereince, whatever compression exists with bluetooth was not that noticeable and I have pretty good ears (if a bit old) for audio sound. I had never heard of edifier before, but will attend to them in the future. My brother-in-law (a cabinet designer and builder in the past who is still quite skills with wood) claimed that the wood is not really wood, but you could fool me. The level of detail on these is quite good. They do not look cheap, but rather quite the opposite, very well built with attention to detail. Personally, I thought they looked kind of ugly in the pictures I've seen and was pleasant surprised by how nice they look in reality. The price seems commensurate with the qulity. These were $50 US cheaper here at Amazon compared to some other on-line retailers where I usually shop for this sort of stuff. Anyway, my wife loves these, just loves them, which for me adds to their value as they were a Christmas present to her. I really was not sure if these were going to work out, and they did so perfectly.

The S1000DB powered speakers were a wonderful surprise in quality of construction, appearance, and performance that was far above what I expected. While I am not an audio engineer, I am an electronics engineer and an audiophile with enough experience to know that the better specifications of the S1000DB warranted the modest increase in price; and, after experiencing the surprising performance of these speakers, I have no regrets at all about my decision. The diverse array of bluetooth, phono, optical and coaxial inputs are easily selected by the little remote control unit and allowed me to easily integrate the speakers with my TV, DVD player, PC, and cellphone. Some negative comments suggest that losing the remote control is a disaster for switching inputs, but that must only be true for the chronically lazy because pushing inward on the powered unit's volume control knob steps though all the inputs just like the remote. While it takes the effort for one to get off his/her backsides and walk over to the powered unit, all system functions are fully operable from the unit's local controls without the remote. Other reviews also find fault with the fact that the volume control knob is simply a rotating up/down level control with no stops and that the volume level reverts back to mid-level when the speakers are powered down; however, this is a much appreciated feature for those who've partied all night with a sound system at full volume - then soiled themselves when turning it on again in the morning. The bass response is very good and quite surprising for such a relatively small set of speakers, but don't expect them to rattle dishes in the kitchen cabinet like an expensive home theater system with a brain-pounding 200 watt sub-woofer. The mid-range and high frequencies are crisp, crystal clear, un-distorted and perhaps a little overpowering at high volume levels; however, turning the bass control up and turning the treble control down a bit brought everything into a very good balance in my living room that has no-so-whoopie acoustic properties. My wife has acute hearing efficiency that is far above that of most people (probably a bit better than that of a whitetail deer), and she is crazy about these speakers because she can run them WFO with no distortion whatsoever while she's playing her head-pounding zumba-dance music through the bluetooth link from her cellphone while working out. While these are Chinese-made speakers, the US-based seller/distributor backs them with any needed service, replacement or setup/installation information which helped eliminate my worry about buying them. The speakers arrived very quickly after I ordered them, and the seller sent me a lengthy email right after their arrival that expressed thanks for my purchase and included extensive contact information in the event there was any shipping damage, performance problems or installation/operation questions. I've read some of the reviews that suggest the many highly positive reviews for these speakers come from shills working for the seller; however, after putting these speakers trough some my usual skeptically-biased personal testing, I'm convinced that most or all of the highly negative reviews either originate from shills working for competitors or from those unfortunate few who are unable to understand the simplest of instructions. I can't speak for the lesser Edifier models, but I am extremely happy with the model S1000DB I purchased and seriously doubt that anything near their very reasonable price can either equal or better them.

Decidí editar este comentario después de casi 3 meses de uso seré breve y concreto: 1. Si los subes a nivel de oído, el sonido se vuelve mas abierto y definido y obvio estéreo, no digo que a nivel piso suenen mal, para nada, pero mejor definición en soporte para monitor. 2-Frecuencias magníficamente equilibradas, con eso no digo que sean planos, digo que ninguna se antepone a otra lo cual da una definición muy buena. 3, Quite la malla protectora de los altavoces y aquí hay mucho cambio, la definición se vuelve mucho mas amplia, sin embargo al tener tweeter de titanio ahí es donde recae, algo no tan agradable porque si escuchas tidal a max resolución en bandas sonoras, jazz,rock instrumental con o sin voces muy bien, pero si pasas a lo comercial ahí esta el detalle, agudos empiezan a sonar metálicos, porque música mas comercial no esta hecha para ese tipo de tweeter, y pierde neutralidad incluso en flat. 4-Al tener la malla protectora tendrás que subir +1db en agudos, que en este caso son medio agudos porque jala parejo, si no, las cuerdas y medios pierden cierto cuerpo, sin malla no hay necesidad, pero se vuelve mas fatigante. 5.En general son grandes monitores por sonido y prestaciones pero en la vida vuelvo a comprar monitores con tweeter de titanio.

On initial impression, connected to my sony tv through bluetooth and optical , sounded really good for movies and for music, spotify able to deliver good quality audio

The speakers are heavy, nicely built and asthetically they are a delight for the interiors. The speakers require a lot of burn in period to properly dissipate the vibrations. Sound Quality: i have been listening to Pink Flyod, Jimi Hendrix, Chet Baker, Chopin, B B king, Strings, Abida Parveen, Lamb of God, Manna Dey, Ravi Shankar and i will conclude that this speakers actually allow me to indulge and immerse myself into total isolation of musical ecstacy . Frequency Response: The high,mid and low are just perfect. The frequency dispersion is crisp and the clarity of frequencies is so appropriate. The speakers don't distort at full volume. They are able to deliver the full spectrum of frequency at full volumes without overpowering any frequency. Once the ears get adapted to this sound signature, you won't like any other speakers, these are so distinct. No need for a subwoofer as you can listen to and feel a double bass drum being played in front of you . Soothing for ears and very comfortable at high volumes. A must buy for hardcore music lovers.

I bough these active speaker for my lounge as my hifi lives in a separate room now. I was expecting them to look good and sound ok for casual listen but no more. They look as good in real life as they do in the photos. The sound and the hifi qualities of these speakers is way above what I expected. The source is my phone and apple music, so not the highest quality streaming service or DAC u can have. I would say that these active speakers sound at least as good as budget separate system (think NAD, ROTEL,etc) from the 90's. For £300 i don't think you can ask any more. The highest complement i can pay these speaker is that they've got me listening to more music.

Great value for money. Bluetooth seems a bit iffy, but I have only tried it from my Macbook and the range is pretty poor on that device. Aux to RCA is great and the sound is surprisingly rich and resonant. Pretty powerful speakers for their size.
