S1000MKII

These are great sounding speakers. I was/am pleasantly surprised at their richness and clarity. They are super easy to hook up and use, plugging directly on to my turntable and powered with an AC plug into a wall outlet. I did have to purchase a longer speaker to speaker connecting cable to be able to place my speakers where I wanted them, the one that comes with them is about 15ft long and I got one from the manufacturer that is 9m/29.5ft long so I could run the cable along the wall and behind furniture so that is hidden and out of the way. The remote control works great and is very easy to use. So far the bluetooth has connected to both my iPhone and iPad with no fuss at all. They are just over 13 in tall, 7 in wide, 10 in deep and weigh about 16 lbs each. They also can get very loud with no distortion or hum, but can also play the softer mellow stuff at a nice low level. Also they look pretty good too.

I've been heavily playing a lot of Vinyl these last few years. I had a set up with some old 90's Q-Sound AIWA book shelf speakers. I'm amazed how long they have lasted me. It really put out some great sound. Still does, but lately the built in bass/sub woofer has been cutting in and out. So I was looking for something to replace them. Low and behold, I took a chance in buying these S1000MKII speakers. I'm so glad I did. I won't claim to be an Audiophile person, but this does just fine in the space I have my music room set up. My worry was getting decent bass, and this definitely does the job. I'm sure there are speakers far more superior. But these sound pretty darn good. Paying nearly $500 for speakers was something I feared, hoping I wouldn't be disappointed. So glad, that isn't the case here. So far... day one, I've used the speakers to play vinyl and a CD. I'm impressed. I'm still figuring out the sound settings, and only able to get any sound when the LED light is green. The red produces no sound for me. I thought I originally had sound with the blue, but after playing around with the Bluetooth feature, I am not able to experience that yet. We'll see what happens. The remote works fine, but I noticed that it doesn't react to the speakers unless you're pointing it directly at a somewhat close distance. But maybe I need to just keep playing with it. In any event, y intention was to replace my old 90's AIWA speakers with something just as good if not better. I think I found the perfect speakers for my set up. I read so many reviews of the speakers below this model, and I'm happy I took the chance in purchasing these. If you're looking for superior sound with good bass, this is it. If the higher models which cost more are better, than they better be flushing my toilet because this produced exactly the sound I was looking for. While I'm a bit picky how things sound, I feel like on the average these are great for any decent sized room and spending any more money would only be looking for bells and whistles that some technical audiophile people are looking for. The look great too. If you got a budhet of $400 to $500 then this will be perfect.

As someone who enthused over "high fi" speakers in the 1950s, I'm accustomed to prices that are much higher than these top-rated Edifier transducers, which look sexy and sound smoother than their edgy appearance. My first AR2, or Henry Kloss speaker (also, KLH, Advent, Tivoli) was almost $200 for a single speaker, and my JBL Athena speakers (high efficiency West Coast sound, with a 14" woofer) cost twice that--for a modest-looking, unobtrusive bookshelf speaker with a lattice wood grill). These Edifier S1000's understandably impressed the reviewers ("Consumer Reports"), who placed them ahead of dozens of more expensive speakers. As an audio "purist" who listens to classical music and jazz, my "snobbish" preference is for non-amplifed, "passive" JBL Athena's and Wharfdale's over a powered unit. I was tempted to bring a favorite existing speaker into the living room for use with a TV screen, until questions about placement of amplifier, turntable, albums, etc. led me to look to the convenience of powered speakers with Bluetooth connectivity. Although I hear more natural and realistic piano sounds in my preferred speakers, these powerful Edifiers are superior for movie soundscapes and large orchestral settings. They may not be "quite" as satisfying as very good "passive" speakers, but the convenience, practicality and value made purchase of the Edifier 1000's a no-brainer decision. When not screening (or streaming) movies, I'm listening to jazz recordings on which I'm attentive to the ring of the ride cymbal and the "chic" of the high hat along with pitch-identifiable "walking bass" sounds. Most speakers simply don't capture the force of Art Blakey's drums or the pulse and interplay of Joe Morello's kit. Active speakers simply aren't "tuned" to bring out these sounds, and my passive JBL's simply do a better job in capturing and representing these frequencies as we experience them "in nature." Nevertheless, I'm happy to keep these Edifier powered speakers for my home theater and symphony recordings --- especially now that I've finally begun to solve the problem of BLUETOOTH transmitting ONLY to the left ("passive") speaker. With wired connections--from a player or TV set (using optical cable)--the sound from the Edifier S1000 is strong in both speakers. But when transmitting wirelessly thru Bluetooth (I tried 3 differ iPhones), audio was going to only one speaker. If I were unable to find a fix, I'd return these and try a Bose Soundlink Flex speaker (the reviews are most compelling, and I was amazed by the Bose Soundlink Mini that my wife brought home as part of her deal for a new iPhone). Previously, NBA games on my big Samsung TV were so noisy that the announcers' voices were inaudible for much of the game. Her Bose speaker arrived with its own "internal intelligence," which muted the crowd noise and made the play-by-play come through loud and clear. Edifier is located in China, and I assumed response, if any, would be slow and minimal. To my surprise, a tech person at Edifier immediately answered by question about a channel drop-out. His questions in turn led me back to my iPhone, which revealed that the AT&T store had transferred my old and damaged iPhone unto its replacement, an iPhone 13. Since practically all of my players and transmitters had been corrupted by the "genetic flaw" inherited from the damaged phone, I could give Edifier a pass only after proving that the speakers were capable of reproducing a Bluetooth signal accurately, with each speaker representing the audio information unique to its channel. Finally, I convinced a tech-inclined friend that the problem, in all likelihood, was not with the speakers or with my overly fastidious, demanding temperament. He brought a phone that had not absorbed any of the bad karma in my iPhones, and by using its Bluetooth we determined that the Edifiers were up to speed--violins from left channel; cellos and bass fiddles from right channel; the conductor and the listener right in between these 2 unique sources for a satisfying, accurate, and most realistic soundstage. (Leonard Bernstein's / Stephen Spielberg's "West Side Story" never sounded better!) In conclusion, Edifier is #1--for this speaker and for its responsiveness to consumers' questions. But, finally, I've got to absolve the iPhone from blame. As the character from Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" says: "The fault lies not with the stars--not even with Apple or Steve Jobs--but with the distracted dude who allows his iPhone to squirt out of his hands and fall to the cement floor below--not once but repeatedly."

Estou super satisfeito com a compra. Qualidade de som é muito bom para qualquer tipo da música.

First set I received the left speaker was noticeably quieter and distorted, returned the set and ordered another and they arrived perfect! I think I just got a dud before because these sound amazing.

Very Fast delivery, Quality speakers, well worth the price.

El sonido es delicioso, la calidad de construcción es excelente, no he notado distorsión, aún en volumen alto. Los graves tienen muy buena calidad y he disfrutado muchísimo mis bocinas. Pensaría en actualizarlas a la versión con WiFi, pero fráncamente conectarme por bluetooth o a través de Alexa (también con bluetooth) no es ningún tipo de complicación. Las tengo conectadas también a mi pantalla de tv con cable óptico y es mil veces mejor que cualquier barra de sonido para tv.

Valen la pena, buena calidad de materiales, y excelente audio, evitate comprar amplificador y bocinas por separado. Reparte muy bien los sonidos entre una y otra bocina(stereo), Creo q es la mejor opción para entrar al mundo del Audio de más calidad q el promedio común. Han sido catalagodas como la mejor compra en su tipo(Bookshelf) por el NYTimes y otros medios importantes también. Las tengo en un área de 50m2 y la verdad llenande sobra. Recomiendo usarlas con la app Tidal, ya q da mejor calidad de audio. Super recomendables. Solo checa si el color madera aplica a tu decoración, en la mía van muy bien.Buy them, you won't regret it. Best bang for the buck for a quality audio starter. Despues de un año con ellas, sigue opinando que son la mejor opción, por el precio q tienen no encuntras algo mejor. Lampuedes usar en lugar de una barra de sonido también. No distorsionan aún al máximo de volumen.
