Edifier R1850DB Active Bluetooth bookshelf speakers

Bought these to use on my CD player and can't fault the quality and build of these speakers. Really good and powerful sound for bookshelf speakers. Only small issue is the remote control, seems rather small and and plain.

I'm using these speakers as my main TV and media centre speakers. They are great for connectivity via Bluetooth and the optical input cable is just long enough to reach my speaker stands without having too much excess. The sound quality is extremely high and the sound is very clear. The speakers are very weighty and look great in my all black living room aesthetic. All in all with the deal that I got on these speakers. I would say they are the best value for money purchase I have made for my living room in the time I've lived in my current house. 5.5 stars.

I bought these to connect to a newly bought 65 inch smart TV. The sound from the TV was pretty good compared to others I have had but as they are so slim now there is no room to put in a decent set of speakers. Connected optically they sound just amazing, good punchy bass and clean crisp treble, just a really good open sounding set of speakers amazing for the size of them, there is a conection for a sub but they really dont need it. Connect a MP3 player by bluetooth and get the same great sound. A much better purchase than a sound bar as most I have heard are really lacking in bass. Highly recommended...........Quick update, the speakers still sound great but people have complained about the remote which I have to say leaves a bit to be desired even though it works fine its a bit....odd but I have bought a One For All remote to clear up the stack of remotes I had and although Edifier are not listed in the codes the One For All it has a learning function which works great so I now have a more taditional type remote for them...all good

Happy with my purchase; I acquired a Wii Mini which dramatically improved the sound.

I bought these speakers a while back and the more I listen the more impressed I am. They are supposedly for use with a computer, but I think they are way better than that. The response is flat and the sound is crystal clear, I listen mainly to orchestral music and they are perfect for that. Well worth the money.

Awesome speakers worth every Penny

Great speakers, but Bluetooth stopped working after 3 weeks. Returned the product.

Excellent

Me gustó mucho la calidad de sonido, materiales y precio, llegó muy bien en tiempo y forma

Love these, bought the accompanying sub as well. It's a really decent set of speakers with the kind of robust inputs I needed and wanted. Great for nearfield and damn good for far field listening. The remote is absurd. And makes no sense, dual volume controls!? But otherwise stellar product.

I purchased these speakers on special as a replacement for some other Edifier speakers. The sound from these speakers are very good and sound nice and bright. I have these speakers connected to my PC via optical cable and they are great for listening to music, watching youtube videos and movies, as well as Twitch streaming. Very happy with purchase and look forward to the years of use these will provide

Normalerweise schreibe ich keine Rezensionen. Aber nach vielen Logitech und Co Tests bin ich sowas von begeistert. Hammer klang. Bass bis Hochtöner. Das habe ich lange gesucht.

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 for better speakers with no sub (as opposed to lower-end speakers WITH a sub) was preferable to me. These appeared to hit nearly all of my targets except one low-priority one (balanced inputs), and included the ability to add on a sub later on if I wanted, so I took a chance. I don’t have any experience with the Edifier brand but I’ve heard good things. Turns out this was a great move. The speakers arrived well-packaged and individually wrapped in cloth to protect the shiny piano black finish. They also came with a polishing cloth to keep them extra-shiny. Maybe this was overkill. Maybe I like overkill… The speakers are heavy and solid – they FEEL valuable. I like the slight upward angle a lot as they are aimed perfectly from my desktop to my ears. They look modern and sleek, with or without the grills (though I have a two year old and will probably keep them on). The cable that connects the two speakers is super long – much longer than I needed (mine are only a couple of feet apart). The right speaker has the IR sensor for the remote and a small status/power indicator light that glows through the grill. As I am a firm believer in the bathtub curve of product failure, I immediately hooked them up and started putting them through their paces nice and hard. I blasted everything: Aphex Twin, strings-heavy classical, jazz, R&B vocal, “Kid A,” and the blackest metal I could find. I cranked them to uncomfortable levels and found my eyes watering with delight just a few songs in. I could feel the speakers aspirate, pushing the air around my right hand (on the mouse) at high volumes. Plenty of power to spare. I was expecting to take issue with the knobs being on the back, but I really only had to access them one time just after setup when I tweaked the treble up a couple of notches and left everything else flat. That was it. The knobs give a satisfying snap when they are flat in the middle of each setting which is a perfectly good place to be with these. I read in a few reviews that these are lacking in the mid-range, but I do not find that to be the case. They definitely sparkle in the highs and the lows are tight and serviceable, but I find the mids more than sufficient – clear with great separation. Some of that may be my DAC (I recommend you find a decent DAC for digital sources – I use a Korg DS-DAC-100), but you won’t get any complaints about the mid-range from me. The only area where I found them lacking is in the super-low register bass hits. Specifically I was playing “High Roller” by The Crystal Method, and while they shined throughout, there are a few ultra-low bass hits that were simply not “all there” at high volume. However, this does not defy my expectations of these low-profile desk speakers at all. I suspect adding a sub to the mix would probably pick up the bass significantly, probably even more than I would even want for this setup. In all I am very pleased with them and still not in any rush to add the sub. After a few hours of constant and loud playback I did a touch test around the back of each speaker to check for heat and found very little – almost none. A few of the other speakers I was considering had heat issues reported in the product reviews, but these have stayed nice and cool since I got them. The power switch stays on all the time, but I power them on and off with the remote and have still not had to access the switches directly. The only slight compromise I feel I made here was the lack of balanced inputs. I would have preferred them (and could have gotten them for a little more money or another monitor pair), but the DAC I use also has RCA outputs. I can’t imagine these sounding significantly better with balanced cables. I am no cable snob, but the cables that came with the speakers did seem a rather high gauge (thin), so I ordered a slightly lower gauge (thicker) RCA cable with the speakers ($10 – again, NOT a cable snob). I will be adding the cables (came with optical, Y, and RCA!) that came with the speakers to my cable storage bin where they will probably be repurposed for someone else’s system. As for the remote – it seems a lot of folks don’t realize that ALL remotes are lightweight. Remotes become heavy when you add the batteries. Since this remote only has a few buttons, it only uses a small button battery which makes it less heavy. Not sure when this became a drawback, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with the remote. It works perfectly from across the room and from numerous angles. There are four volume buttons (two up and two down) which I don’t really understand because each pair of buttons does the same thing. I originally thought they might control individual left and right channels, but that is not the case. This is not exactly a drawback – more of a weird design decision that does not take away from the function of the speakers in any way. The remote is excellent. While these would make reasonable home theater speakers, they will not rumble your house the way a lot of folks would like. You would need a sub for that. I have not used the Bluetooth feature and probably won’t very often except to listen to podcasts or audiobooks occasionally while cooking. I was only interested in their musical performance, and in that area they do not disappoint. If I have any issues with the BT, I will add them to this review.
