I puzzled between R1700BT and R2000DB, as I need a good bluetooth bookshelf speaker. The Edifier S1000DB is out of my budget. So, end up I go for R2000DB. Sound is good, bluetooth feature easy to use and seemless pair with smartphone. What I looking for are clarity and clear sound, may be R1700BT with cheaper cost and lower RMS Watt enough for my usage, but just worry it not meet my requirement...
Anyway, it really hard to find place to see and compare the Edifier speakers.
Just bought a R2000DB yesterday at a good bargain price, and very happy with it! But still very curious to know how much difference is it compared this more expensive (almost double) S1000DB. Might grab one to place in living room if it's really good and different much. Just not sure worth the cost difference or not, which is about RM500 difference there.
If you found info on anyone make a comparison between these two, please share it here will ya? Thanks.
Sure, but sometime the review really hard to get detail, the best still can listen it on the spot. lol. Anyway, if you like heavy bass, a sub-woofer might be different. I like heavy bass, for some time, but too heavy make me feel uncomfortable. Anyway, hope our R2000DB last...
I do not like heavy bass anymore compare to before. Don't know why, as I am becoming older, my interest in heavy bass kind of music or song becoming less and less. Now I'm more into clarity than bass. I owned many speakers before, those worth mentioning were, Razer Mako, Logitech Z623, Corsair SP2500 and Edifier S530D, and I could tell all these are heavy bass head banging type of speakers. When it comes to clarity, I can feel R2000DB is much better. This makes me believe S1000DB could do better, very tempting to get it.........but price difference is obviously the drawback here.
I have auditioned both speakers and have created a video here:
I like the bass on the S1000DB more compared to the S2000DB because the S2000DB is a little too strong as it uses different type of cone material for the bass driver. You can find more videos on my youtube channel including Edifier e235
Thanks. Will look into these. Too bad no shop in Penang has it (S1000DB) on display for customer to test. A shop has R2000DB on display though, and I had a chance to test it before decided to buy it after that.
is it better to use the optical cable or the aux one for better audio? I already have this one, just asking your opinion, currently using this one on optical, somehow I believe I've read the frequency response on the optical one is up to 44.1kHz/48kHz on PCM. How about when using on aux?
I am using Optical too, and I personally feel it sounds clearer, and maybe louder too, compared to analogue connection. My TV has optical output, so I just use it to output everything (Astro, PS4 and Media Player) to my R2000DB. PS4 and Astro both output sound via HDMI, while Media Player is TV built-in. So it's all digital to digital here, and how much difference does it make compare to analogue to digital or digital to analogue, this I do not know much I'm afraid. I also got its Bluetooth function to play audio FLAC files from my smartphone, and it surprisingly sounds very good even though via Wireless. My phone is Huawei P9.
