Edifier R1700BT Bluetooth Bookshelf Speaker - Active Near-Field Studio Monitors - Powered Speakers 2 Setup Wooden Enclosure - 66w RMS

Very nice speakers for the size and money. They look beautiful, even better than my $1300 Boston Acoustics VR3 towers. In the sound department, clearly a $170 set of bookshelf speakers are going to have limited potential if you are used to quality floor speakers. But for what they are I am thrilled. I bought refurbished but it didnt even look like the box had ever been opened. Everything still in original wrapping and looked brand new. Save yourself $25 and do refurbished-like new. Great speakers for the money.

Sounds as expected from the brand. Sometimes BT connection gets laggy ( initial play) but after 5-6 sec it is great. Haven't connected RCA cables as I got it as speaker for bedroom smart devices to play music occasionally.

Very well made. Very good sound quality. Dual amps and quality electronics help a lot.Would have given 5 stars if they had the Apple aac codec since I use an iPad. Have to admit they sound great with the default Bluetooth.

When looking through the reviews I couldn't find any mention of the bass and volume of these speakers, so I figured I'd describe it here. I really like these speakers, and they are very much worth the $150 price I paid for them (to me). They go louder than I would need while sitting at my computer right in front of them, but would probably be too quiet for a party. There's a bit of distortion above about 80% volume, but it's not that bad, and 50% volume is already louder than you would want if you have roommates, live in an apartment, etc. Keep in mind that there are laws of physics that limit the bass production of speakers based on their physical size, so if you want really loud base you need a dedicated subwoofer. These speakers are exactly what I was looking for, they're more than loud enough for anything I would use them for in an apartment setting, and have excellent sound quality. If I listen closely, I can hear things in some songs that I've never heard before. As some people have said the remote isn't amazing, but it does the job if you're close by, and honestly the remote isn't why I'm buying the speakers, although I think you do need it to switch from line in to bluetooth mode. Oh and the treble was a bit bright for my personal preference so I just turned it down a bit.Overall I really like these speakers, if you're looking to have a party or play a movie super loud, like if you own your own home or something, then these probably aren't for you, but they go louder than I would ever need having roommates and have excellent sound quality.

I decided to take the leap and buy these Edifier R1700BT speakers after seeing many good reviews of their speakers. I wanted something with more power, crisp sound and better Base than the Bose Companion 2 Series IIIs I’d been using. I also liked the ability to use the speakers without having to turn my PC on through Bluetooth.Design: The R1700BT has a really nice modern aesthetic with an upward angled design sending the sound to you. I bought the white version (I’ll add more images later) and found that the front cover is a medium grey and not black like I’d expected from the images. The speakers are W=6.06”/154mm H=10”/254mm D=8.14”/214mm. Setup was simple and I was able to connect my Polk PSW10 subwoofer to them without any issue.Sound: I’m not going to act like I am a sound expert or audiophile but in my opinion. The sound quality from these speaker is clearer than my Marshall Stanmore II which I think is pretty great. These are loud for my home office to which I won’t put the volume above 60% and the bass is excellent too especially for bookshelf speakers.Connectivity: The Bluetooth paired immediately with my phone once selected and still played clearly when I went into the basement (the office is on the 2nd floor).

So happy I purchased these speakers. First off they shipped them really fast & packaging was excellent. Once I opened the box I was extremely surprised about how excellently made they are and they are very solid and they have some weight to them, so build quality extremely excellent. I just love the to composite rca inputs and the blu-tooth connection. My two macs, gaming pc, media center pc, laptop, ipad, nexus 5x & iPhone connected to these speakers without any trouble, it was a total breeze to hook all my gear up to these speakers via blu-tooth because every single piece of tech saw them without any trouble what so ever, unlike other blu-tooth speakers that I purchased in the past. I also hooked to the auxiliary connection on the speakers to my AGPtek HDMI /MHL Audio (SPDIF+R/L) Extractor Support Ultra HD 4K x 2K /ARC / TOSLINK Optical Audio Output + RCA L/R Audio Converter - Support Full HD 1080P, 3D, 4K*2K resolution using rca wires and this device allowsme to hook up any speakers to anything that I have that is hdmi and then it gives me a hdmi out, Spidif out & a rca out & the rca out I hooked my wire up to my edifier speakers so everything that is connected to my 8 device hdmi hub is now connected tomy new high quality Edifier speakers that I love. So all my blu-tooth devices are connected to these sweet set of speakers and all of my 8 devices that output to hdmi also now hook up to my wonder set of Edifier speakers. I just love the clear wonderful sound coming from these banging rocking two speakers, these things are awesome whether I'm listening to music on my mobile phones and tablets from an app or my sat tv, nVidia Shield Pro, Xbox, gaming pc, media center, other mini pc's and set top boxes, HD Projector, this thing totally rocks and it was the best purchase that I have done all year. Now for the Cons which is only the sad sad remote control, this thing is made very cheaply and is very light plastic and I will take a guess that it will not last as long as the speakers. This remote is very hard to use because first it's way to small and you can hardly feel the buttons especially in the dark, so you end up hitting the wrong buttons and changing by accident the output to another device, so you have to be very very careful on what button that you press because it is that new flat button style remote that I can not stand andI wish they just made a regular remote control with real buttons that you can feel preferably a back-lit remote. I am thinking about getting a harmony remote and programming it to learn the buttons on this sad sad remote, so I will be able to use a non irritating remote control instead of the cheap junk of a remote controller that came with these wonderful speakers. Also for some reason this remote also some how when I'm listening tomusic andI decide to turn up the volume, it decides to turn on or off my TV because apparently itlooks like this remote is on the same frequency or code or something as my TV,but being how I just purchased a new TV, I will see if it does the same thing with my new TV on the way. I'm not taking any stars away from these excellent speaker for that remote control because I can deal with that my self by adding a harmony to the mix and plus I purchased this product for the speakers and not the remote control, so I definitely give this great sounding set of speakers the highest score that I can give them because they are totally awesome for all the uses that you see above that I use them for. They work excellent for watching movies, listening to music or outputting sound from anyone of your computers, set top boxes, cable boxes/sat boxes or mobile devices, this thing simply is a work horse at least for me with the help from my 8 port hdmi hub and my little box that I purchased here on amazon by the name of AGPtek HDMI /MHL Audio (SPDIF+R/L) Extractor Support Ultra HD 4K x 2K /ARC / TOSLINK Optical Audio Output + RCA L/R Audio Converter - Support Full HD 1080P, 3D, 4K*2K resolution , with these two devices hooked up together along side with these speakers I am able to use any device that I choose to connect to the speakers no matter the connection because these two boxes take care of that making these wonderful speakers hook up to everything that I got and believe me, me being a computer geek/tech I have a lot of tech gadgets/devices, so go buy a pair of these speakers because they rock.
