but i dont have other headset other than this edifier earplug

Kindly add me in. Just purchased an Edifier C3 from viewnet yesterday for RM410. considered good deal or expensive? i saw the price few years back is around rm360-390 >_<

cant really track down recent price thats around that range

Added on October 24, 2011, 12:46 pmwas considering that since i could benefit from the optical. however it has a 6.5inch sub and the main reason for my purchase is because i want a subwoofer.

C3 has a 8"

that 6.5" subwoofer from S330D got more heart thumping bass than the 8" on C3
you are warned, in case of lack of bass you need a suitable soundcard

No matter 360 390 or 410 it's still quite valued compared to other brands. You get nice solid thick awesome superb incredible MDF housing (including my RM109 M1335) for nearly entire series of Edifier. There are models that are not made of MDF though.

size matters when you want to achieve lower freq reproduction
(basic concept of larger the driver, the more air it can push. so unless edifier's designs are flawed, size will matter)

if bass isnt thumping enough, just +bass level for increased SPL
atm im having +5 and i feel that its good enough.

as for sound card, im using HDMI from laptop -> samsung series 7 LED TV -> audio out to C3

Added on October 24, 2011, 6:13 pmafter having a lot more experience in ICE/Headphile, thats why i also made the jump from logitech/creative. proper 2 way tweeter/mids are definitely the right way for good quality sound reproduction. with the exception of the creative gigaworks T3, and potentially the logitech z5500/z906, everything else they have just doesnt quite match up with edifier especially in price vs performance

Im currently headache with which speakers to get. I only have Corsair SP2500 and S530D on my mind now. Budget quite obvious d around 700-800 ringgitz. Pls suggestttt thanks

not to "pour water" in edifier thread, http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1850014 will point out the aego M or creative gigaworks T3, and ive heard the T3, and its really REALLY good. think of an aego M, with bass (aego m's bass is really sad LOL)

that said, between the 2 speakers in your mind, i would pick the S530D. optical support, wooden enclosure, proper 2 way speaker setup with proper tweeter/mids (the corsair version seems a little smaller ) with amp separated from woofer.

How about T3 vs S530D? which one would u pick?
I really like the overall quality of the S530D though. T3's satellites if Im not mistaken dont have tweeters right.

I prefer S530D because of wooden enclosure and class AB amplifier sound smooth and relax to my ear.
T3 uses class D amplifier, it sound harsh to me.

its sorta how aego M are built.

if music wise, i would go T3
gaming/movies id go s530d

Its kind of a hard decision to make. But I do listen to music more. T3 kinda amazes me with the amount of bass it produces. However certain reviews wrote about the overwhelmed bass of the T3. And I wonder is that true? I like bass but I prefer quality over quantity. Another difference between T3 and S530D is the control panel. Basically T3 only has a volume control knob and thats all. Bass level meeds to be adjusted on the actual sub itself. That's my concern with T3. Mainly cuz I like how users are able to turn off the sub of the S530D to avoid disturbing others and all that. How about this, which speaker system produces clearer sound?

the T3 bass is very light to be honest. compared to most things the market can offer, i would even say the T3 bass is lackluster ^^;
best if you can audition the 2 speakers yourself, that would be much easier

as for clarity alone, most reviews would point to the t3. i personally side with the T3. then again its an unfair comparison, as the T3 should be more expensive heh.

I dunno how you guys said T3 bass is light... I'd say it's definitely more powerful compared to all edifiers in terms of volume/bass ratio
the thump, the beat, it's just all clean,tight and powerfully deep.

the tiny satellites serves pretty well as a full range driver without sounding tiny like Bose C5

Clarity wise, I still wouldn't choose T3, same reason like Cosef... too harsh~ (yes I'm fussy with my preferred trebles)
the trebles does sometimes reminds me of cheap branded speakers. very fussy with soundcards paired.

personally I think T3 serves best as a general speaker for those who cannot decide their preferred choice
go for Edifier S530D, I'm using it now and it's pretty good sounding without giving me too much headaches in life

ohya, lets not go off topic, this is an Edifier thread

T3 lack of bass?

It already shake my pants liao....

I'm using Logitech X-540 now. The bass is fading as time goes by. I wanna feel ground shaking bass. I know any speakers of my choices are able to do that. I like bass but it's not my priority among speaker qualities though. I think S530D is the most balanced among all. I really wanna test the speaker systems before buying one but I don't think there's any shop here even has those speaker systems. I live in Penang btw. I'll most probably go for Edifier.

well ive not heard of all of edifier's lineups, so i wouldnt know. however if you compare it to the more main streamed speakers, or even its own gigaworks brothers (THX certified lol) then yea, it is a lot weaker.

the harshness, could be due to the mid/highs mixed in a single driver. then again personally ive never had any harshness issues during my audition of it at singapore, though, i never really extensively auditioned it ^^;

though i would say T3 would be better for music, while S530D would be the better overall. just the ext. amp, better controls/presentation, well separated drivers for the highs/mids, and big ass subwoofer thats on a single box of its own (not shared with amps inside)
thats definitely much better on movie/gaming, hence the "general" choice.

I feel like saving more and go for S730. But I read some reviews saying S730 has better bass but S530 has better sound quality. Is that true?

S730 is for ppl who needs more bass from S530 that is how it came out....

Apart from bass no other improvements?

MOREEEEE WATTS to shake your house
