Edifier R1700BT review

The Edifier R1700BT speakers are an immensely appealing proposition. They're smart-looking, compact speakers, have Bluetooth 4.0 streaming and are a hoot to listen to. And they only cost £120. We're rather fond of the Edifiers' design. You only get one...

Lovely midrange Warm, smooth, enthusiastic sound Engaging and easy to listen to Smart finish and build Affordable price

Boomy bass sticks out a lot Slightly thin treble Controls need a better finish

In the context of budget speakers, the Edifier R1700BTs are hugely appealing. They’re up against some tough competition in this market (the petite Wharfedale DS-1s are their closest rival at £130), but they’ve got a likeable sound that’s fun and easy...

Edifier R1700BT Bluetooth speakers review

Excellent design, a range of inputs and a hardware and tech combination to deliver your tunes precisely and stunningly.

A total of 66W RMS, excellently rich and clear lower frequencies, plus clever DSP (Digital Signal Processing) and DRC (Dynamic Range Control) to stop any hint of distortion. It’s all good in my world. These produce a clean sound for any tune I pumped...

Edifier R1700BTs Wireless Speakers: Review

The $180 R1700BTs active speakers sit somewhere near the middle of Edifier's bookshelf speaker line-up. Small for a bookshelf and big for a desktop, they stand 10 inches tall, 6 inches wide and just under 8 inches deep. The front-ported cabinets...

Sound quality is good in small spaces, especially with “spacializer” engaged. Look better and feel more substantial than traditional “computer speakers.” Multiple inputs for versatility, and ability to add a sub.

Bit lacking in bass, and sound thin in large spaces. No USB input (Bluetooth only for PC use). Speaker connector cable is too long.

The Edifier R1700BTs are versatile little speakers that shine in small spaces. The overall sound quality is more than acceptable for an office, near-field gaming or TV setup, with or without a sub. They’re easy to pack and install, and don’t take up...

Edifier R1700BT Review: Beautiful Bluetooth speakers for your bookshelves

Finding the right speakers for your home or apartment can be difficult. There're a lot of options out there, and you typically want to strike a balance between sound quality, cost, and functionality. I was in that exact position about a month ago and...

When you consider the sound quality, design, and price, these speakers are well worth your attention at $150. They come with a two-year warranty from Edifier, and I definitely feel like I'll be using these regularly for all my media needs for years to...

Edifier R1700BT speaker review: Multifunctional, stylish Bluetooth speakers that won’t break the bank

Edifier is a company normally known for making audio products with an ultra-modern, abstract or minimalist design. I've reviewed and tested a few of their speakers in the past, and they've all had an unusual aesthetic. It was a refreshing change, then,...

Now, if I was to compare this set to an expensive, high-grade audio system I’d likely find a lot to complain about. For instance, the constant, quiet hissing of the speakers when turned on would almost certainly frustrate me if the system cost a lot...
