Edifier 【Edifier】 MR4 42W 2.0ch PC Active Near-Field Monitor Speaker | 4-Inch Mid-Bass Unit High Sound Quality | Built-in Amplifier for DTM, Composition, Studio Monitor Use | Wired External | TRS

これはお買い得。ちょっと机に置くにはでかいけど。 僕はPCにミキサーつないでいるので、TRS接続はありがたいです。ま、そこまでケーブルの違いにセンシティブではないですがｗ 電源のオフオンと音色モードのボタン切り替えがひとつのボタンに集約されているのはちょっといけてなくて、特にオフにするときの長押しがめんどい。音色が変わってしまうことしばし。 音質はそこらの小型スピーカーより断然いいし、出力が大きいこともいいです。 何より値段がねえ。 ワンランク下の数千円の中途半端なものを買うくらいなら、こっちを買っとけば間違いなし、という感じです。

特色が無いと言えばそれまでですがこのサイズで豊かな低音が出てびっくりです。勿論大口径のスピーカーにはおぼつかない程度ではありますが、このサイズと値段ですから十分に満足です。PCのモニター用としては最も最適な選択であると言えましょう。

思っていたよりやや大きい印象。音質は素人なので分かりませんが、バランスの良い音で聴き疲れない印象。ボリューム調整が難しい。1段階ごとに割と音が大きくなります。

他の方のレビューを参考にして買いましたが、いい意味で裏切られています。 価格以上の良い音が出ているスピーカーだと感じています。 デスクトップPCのミニジャックから、TSケーブルで接続して使用しています。 電源ボタンも特に硬いことはなく、普通に長押しすれば電源のOFF/ONが出来ます。 電源ボタンとボリュームは兼用のつまみですが、ボリュームは真ん中で固定して、PC側で音量調節しています。 音楽モードとモニターモード、あまり差がなかったなと思ったので、モニターモードのままで使っています。 一度音量調節してしまえば、PCを再起動しようが音量は同じですので、日常の利用に全く問題なく、手間もありません。 このモデルは、Bluetoothなどの機能がついてないのもかえって良いです。 音の感じ方・聞こえ方は本当に主観的なものでありますので、なんともですが、 損はしないスピーカーだと思います。綺麗に良い音させてます。

AIYIMA DAC-A7と一緒に購入して使用しています。 YouTube等の商品レビューで後継品のMR3より音がいい、その代わりBluetooth非対応ということを知りましたので、上記のDACでBluetooth接続し、DACと当製品を繋げています。 近年使用していた製品が2000円程度のAUX接続のスピーカーや、50000円程度のサウンドバーだったりと比較が困難ですが、6畳程度の洋室で使っていますが十分満足しています。

上はシャリシャリしない聞きやすい音 酷くはないが下に行くほどぼやけ気味 この値段でよく鳴らしている 買うのであればもう少し高いか安いかどちらかのほうがいいかもしれません

この値段でこの音はいいです。 音楽でも映画や動画、ゲームにも使えていい感じです。

モニタースピーカーと呼ぶには少しドンシャリ寄りな調整と思われます。当方の主な使用用途はリスニングであり、制作はしないため不都合は感じていません。 スピーカーを置く上で基本的な調整(高さ、角度、インシュレーターの設置)をしっかり行なえば価格帯を越えた解像感の音を聞かせてくれます。 唯一残念だった点としては、スピーカーの音量を上げるとホワイトノイズがかなり出るところです。当方の環境では、スピーカー音量はど真ん中で固定し、音量調整はDACを用いているため気になりませんが、デバイスに直挿しする方は要注意です。

INTRODUCTION --------------------------- A little run down. My short quest for new speakers came about when the Mackie CR3’s I had for 7 years decided to stop working. In that time, I was quite happy with them. I don’t produce music, but do video editing on occasion. My primary use case is casual listening to music/movies/games. In that regard, I don’t need to have the flattest sound available or desire it – I just like clean, distinctive audio. I’ve been using Sennheiser HD555 headphones with a Sound Blaster Z soundcard for about a decade now. I know there’s better sound options out there these days, but really, these do the job well enough for me and it’s not a necessity to upgrade at the moment. Particularly, I’m impressed with the Sound Blaster software and functionality. I can switch between headphones and speakers on my computer easily and with separate settings for each that changes automatically. Which seems it’d be a convenience barrier switching to a DAC. In any case, I was previously using RCA and have switched to TRS when trying these speakers. The sound is noticeably clearer and unearths sounds more hidden with RCA. I have to crank the windows output a bit higher, but it’s unquestionably better. I also don’t turn the speaker volume up more than half or 3/4th to mitigate noise. With that, I’ll move onto my experience with these two speakers I decided to try to replace my deceased CR3’s. Upon receiving the Edifier MR4 first, I threw on some lossless tracks with some variety, albeit dated. Some artists included: Boris Brejcha, The Chemical Brothers, Erik Jackson, Emancipator, Gorillaz, Hot Chip, Linkin Park, Macklemore, MGMT, Nero, Paul Oakenfold, Papadosio, Pretty Lights, Rinôçérôse, Robert Miles, Sleater-Kinney, System Of A Down EDIFIER MR4 --------------------------- Off the bat I wasn’t stricken with the high end. I like a crispness in my highs and found there was room to be desired with snares etc. But it’s definitely good enough and doesn’t invoke fatigue. Using an equalizer in addition to increasing the treble knob helps and with dialogue in entertainment; which can be a bit muted. The speakers have decent separation and pleasing bass; while having a sound that’s brought together coherently. I have an external bass, which I won’t be inclined to turn on often, as I can also amplify it through software. Playback is warm and easy to listen to. Pressing the power button once enables or disables Music Mode. From what I could tell, it raises the decibel level slightly, as well as the bass and mids for added presence, at the expense of some clarity. I’ll probably use Monitor Mode most of the time. What I particularly liked about these speakers over the E3.5’s is a perceived wider soundstage; instruments have depth and can lightly reverberate (while still having a flatness to them), which sounded more lively comparatively. Overall, these grew on me and I’ve been pleased. If they could be a bit brighter, there wouldn’t be much else I’d desire out of them. ERIS E3.5 --------------------------- The ERIS has an adequate amount of treble and clarity in the high range that I liked at first listen. At the tradeoff of it being sharper and more fatiguing with prolonged use or higher volumes. Highs can sometimes be borderline harsh without equalizing; vocals can be sibilant. I turn the bass knob to the max at +6db and lowering or not touching the treble; which only does so much for lows anyhow. Bass is present, but it’s limited and not as full sounding – the frequency it can hit is punchy though. If you EQ more bass you can get a slight rumble, but nothing compared to the MR4. Even with a subwoofer, it’s not as full sounding. The lower mids don’t feel like they quite bridge to the bass. These speakers don’t sound bad and if I had no other options in this price range or hadn’t compared it directly to a pair with more lows, they might be acceptable. They can just be a bit flat and lifeless (which is part of the idea with monitors I guess), despite having crispness on it’s side. Honestly, I didn’t give this set as much time of day, as I kept gravitating towards the MR4’s; which didn’t make me weary with listening either. If the MR4’s weren’t around as an option, I might have compared with the Mackie CR3’s again. But doubtful: as I think their updated design is ugly, still have that green accent, and apparently they’ve declined in build quality. BUILD --------------------------- Both speakers are quite similar with an understated clean design and near identical dimensions. The MR4 seems to have a slightly better build and I prefer the the carbon fiber looking cone. The volume knob for the E3.5 is smooth – the MR4 turns with an interval of 12 clicks. The E3.5 indicator light is blue and brighter for my taste: I’d cover it up if I were to keep these speakers. The MR4 has a subdued red and green LED for monitor/music mode. Unfortunately, the green light has already started acting up and stopped working in less than a weeks use. The bass/treble knobs have more length to them on the MR4 and are easier to reach back and turn than the E3.5’s. The MR4 weighs a bit more and comes with slightly nicer speaker wire than the E3.5 The E3.5 has a detachable power cord – MR4 does not. The MR4 tweeter actually measures about three quarters of an inch, not the full 1” they claim. With both these speakers I could occasionally detect light distortion/crackling in mids and highs. Not enough to be detrimental for me in keeping the MR4’s. But also due to some solid portrayal, I could hear more of the noise added to the production of certain tracks. For example, listening to some Phantogram, where vinyl grain is frequently added. I believe the E3.5’s also displayed this characteristic, but I returned them already upon noticing more of this. CONCLUSION --------------------------- I tried both these speakers in various configurations of equalizing, but made most my judgments based on how they sound out of the box or their capabilities. The Presonus ERIS E3.5 can hit a higher frequency range; while clear, I found the Edifier MR4 sounded more pleasing and I could almost picture vocalists singing into a mic, rather than just sound coming from a speaker. This carries into the overall experience between the two. The MR4 can give me the impression of being at a concert or watching a movie at a theater, to a degree. I feel the E3.5’s are lacking a bit of soul, but maybe that’s because they’re not as warm. When switching between the two to compare, I found myself wanting to just keep listening to the Edifier’s and not switch back to the Presonus. It’s more lush with it’s prevalent bass for the size and highs can be more pronounced after equalizing (though, they still have an audible frequency ceiling, whereas the E3.5 reaches higher). Given, both these speakers haven’t had a chance for a decent break-in period; but that’ll mostly round out the sound that’s already there anyhow. I’ve also seen more feedback in regards to the Presonus not working after only a year. Most products these days can be a crap shoot, but I’d rather keep the MR4’s for the sound alone and physicality of it (with the aforementioned differences) and hope I get lucky they last awhile. But the LED being faulty already isn’t ideal and I’ll probably replace the pair. I might look further into spending a bit more for different speakers. Though, it seems moving up generally doesn’t include an aux input/headphone output, which is occasionally useful. So, once again, it comes down to weighing out price/sound/conveniences. The MR4 really does sound decent for the price ($129) and I will probably just stick to this model in the end, since I’m not ready to invest in a DAC setup either, that’ll make it worthwhile for spendier speakers. Again, I'm not a music producer, so I can't speak to the decency of these speakers for actual production – you can find reviews with graphs. I'd spend the $30 extra for the Edifiers; unless pronounced highs are super important to you (especially for rock & jazz). But if you create music with any substantial caliber of bass and need to portray it, I’d probably look elsewhere than the Presonus 3.5’s. You’d likely be wanting larger speakers anyhow; though, you may be able to get away with it by adding a sub. If you do consider the Edifier MR4’s, just know there’s a small margin of highs that aren’t as present. But they can be a more fun listening experience overall and less fatiguing.

Product is great. The audio seems very balanced. Good for small spaces. Might need a sub woofer for slightly better base response for a larger space.

had issue with muffled audio with a cheap 2.1 surround so tired these out these are decent speakers go quite loud always had cheap crappy speakers but these look nice im no audiophile but my only grip is i had to get a cheap optical convertor as when connected to my pc via line in at high volume you get interference like a hiss but over optical i cant hear it anymore I think there worth the money there also heavy if that indicates the quality and they feel well made

Works great with my Sony turntable. Can also be used while my Bluetooth is on and headphones connected to the speaker. Would recommend for turn table.

I got these Edifier MR4 Powered Studio Monitor Speakers after my Mackie CRX 3 Monitors failed. One major improvement over the Mackies is the heat management. The Mackie monitors would get very hot, which likely contributed to their eventual failure. In contrast, the Edifier monitors stay cool to the touch and function flawlessly all day while I'm working. The size and appearance of these monitors are great. Their simple, plain black design looks professional and feels premium. I don't use the music mode (where the LED is green), as I prefer an uncolored sound, so I stick to the monitor mode. I also appreciate that I can turn them off when not in use, preventing passive power draw. My one issue is with the main volume dial. It's a stepped dial, so it offers less fine-tuning of the audio level. However, this isn't a big problem for me, as I have the signal where I want it and use a Focusrite 2i2 to fine-tune my levels. As a video editor, having high-quality speakers is crucial, and these deliver excellent sound quality. Overall, the value for money is outstanding. The cost is incredible for what you're getting, and I highly recommend these speakers for anyone in need of reliable budget studio monitors.
