hey guys, just got a t5 subwoofer and the bass is amazing. but would like to ask t5 owners, is it normal to have a fast "ticking/rattling" noise? When i put my ear near to the driver, there seems to be a very, very quiet rattling (fast tick tick tick) noise. seems like the noise is from the silver cap at the middle of the driver. but actually only audible if i put my ears 5cm away from the driver la. so i not sure is lemon unit or everyone's t5 is like that.
remember to turn down the volume before you help me test 😂 it is really loud
appreciate it, thanks!

edit: contacted edifier lazada and apparently i gotta do a refund, then repurchase. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
bad luck then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How much you bought last time? You pair with which model?

hey man. pairing with r2000db
bought on lazzie with rm460+ (with other stuffs to hit min spend rm500), vouchers are min spend rm500 to get rm50 discount, laz wallet rm5, rm6 free shipping discount.

actually, the t5 complaints from online forums isn't that scary.
it wakes from sleep in 2 seconds after i play music with t5&r2000db default volume, windows 30% volume. so nice!!! no need to crank loud pun

gonna buy again on 12.12, 479 and lazada bonus should get me a cheaper price i think🤔

11.11 much higher together with bonus?
12.12 is RM479 - RM40 = RM439.

forgot to say that i didnt buy on 11.11. bought on last friday, just received today

Oh I see.
Normally sales much better.
Regret didn't buy s3000 pro earlier so that I can repurchase T5 if bass not enough.

yes, bought a unit for a friend of mine and its having the same issue if its loud and listen up close.

even the s360db wireless sub also same, sent it back to edifier Malaysia once and they said memang like that, advised not to turn on that loud.

so is design flaw? if it really is like that then i think not a big problem... since totally inaudible under my desk (which is already quite near to me), if use in living room in future totally no prob.

You bought which speaker?

Didn't buy lol.
Saw S3000 Pro during 11.11 sales was RM1999.
12.12 sales is RM2095.

Hahaha you didn't follow the motto "buy now, regret later"

Yalor. Regret now.
Had to reserve discount for my uncle.
No choice.

confirmed by edifier staff

Not defect?

according to what the guy said, all t5 have this ticking sound. but wait till i buy another 1 on 12.12, once it arrive ill have a listen and confirm again here.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nSVio3ocrt...iew?usp=sharing
just in case you're interested to know how it sounds like. sorry for potato video because aiming my phone's mic to record the ticking

i applied some pressure, not just touching the metal cap.

Then what will you do with the existing one? Return and refund already?

This post has been edited by FusionXY: Dec 10 2021, 01:35 AM

I already returned and got my refund for the t5 i bought last friday.

if the new one still rattles, i would still keep it. the noise is really quiet. its only barely audible if i put my ear 10cm away, aiming the driver

i would place the subwoofer in 2 ways only, that is under my desk, and maybe in the living room after i move to my new house in the future.
tried putting under my desk and its not even audible unless i go beside the driver

i mean, you're not gonna use it just like using a near field monitor right... the bass is gonna damage your ears

unless u place it in front of you, or on your desk, then you might wanna consider.

Thank you for the explanation.
How about using T5 and pair with S3000 Pro for living room usage?

Kinda suck to be honest as other subs don't have such issue, but then if I'm not hearing it then I'm guessing all good lol

i think ill update u after i repurchase on 12.12 and conduct a test in my current living room (terrace, so quite big compared to condo)
doing this test in a open environment, without my desk that might block the ticking sound.

but for condo of course it would be good. the bass is loud, i just turn from 0 until the moment it starts to play bass.

yeah, applies to the saying “一分钱一分货”

Oh. My hall around 10ft x 10ft.

just in case anyone wants to buy the t5, this time u can use lazada bonus+ rm50(min spend rm 500)(redeemed from lazzie hunt)
just buy a little bit more lazada bonus products to hit rm500( rm21 more)

Price changed after 2am. Regret.

lol i thought it was just rm3? 479 at 12am, now 482

This post has been edited by miyeonevermioff: Dec 12 2021, 06:18 PM

Maybe 8pm later change price.
Have you placed order?

RM479 from 0am-2am

This post has been edited by FusionXY: Dec 12 2021, 06:20 PM

yeah ordered 12am, been waiting yesterday night.

-duplicate

This post has been edited by miyeonevermioff: Dec 12 2021, 06:54 PM

Lucky you place order before price changed.

You bought earphone to utilize the RM500-50?

nope, i mean not necessarily need to buy from edifier, u can buy anything else just to hit rm500
i recommend u to buy lazada bonus products, because when u add up t5 and the extra lazada bonus product, then u got total rm500+ worth of lazada bonus products, you can redeem -rm50 from lazada bonus, and -rm50 from lazzie hunt. do pm me, if u need me to guide u haha

I exchanged about 8x RM50 Lazzie Hunt.
Lucky exchange as now OOS.

How do you connect the T5 to the speaker?
Signal Input to TV
Signal Output to Speaker?

Or opposite?

Why not just buy s3000pro first? Sub can be added any time later

Yesterday was RM2095 then now become RM2199.
I got RM500-50 platform from Lazzie Hunt.

Should I proceed?

Serious inflation everywhere across the globe. All costing only go up.

Haizzz. Should place order during 11.11 sales.
Great offer below RM2K.

source > signal in t5 > signal out t5 > speaker

Thank you.
If let say want to connect Coaxial or Optical can also?

t5 only have rca input output

Oh, my android box got SPDIF for dolby use.
Not sure converter works or not.

You regret and regret 2 times already
The other platform now is 2099

LOLX. I am the one think too much.
This is myself.

rip the new one also rattles but yeah its ok in my living room

so conclusion is
you should not get this if you're a crazy audiophile, or someone who wants to get something designed flawless, placing it on ear level near field, or u live in quiet jungle

This post has been edited by miyeonevermioff: Dec 15 2021, 02:48 PM

You received yours already?

yeah

Wow
So fast receive. 12th Dec order then 12th shipped out?

Meaning that living room usage much better?
My room cannot support. Putting at living room usage.

ordered on 12.12, collected from seller by lex on 13.12, received today in Penang island

tested in living room but my big living room has terrible acoustic treatment, causing some bass frequencies to be missing
probably destructive interference...

but performs excellent in my room because full of clothes and bed lol

*room also can, but not 10cm infront of you

This post has been edited by miyeonevermioff: Dec 15 2021, 09:47 PM

Hi neighbor. I'm from Penang too.
They sent via J&T?

halo 👋
lex express all the way haha

Weird mine Skynet and J&T

Hope J&T don't damage my subwoofer.

If let's say want to input coaxial or optical?
Need special converter or not?
Or cannot use?

hmm not too sure man
u might need to buy smtg like this

It's OK ya...

Enjoy your speakers.

Waiting for mine.

Heard some said don't use. Will research further more first.
Most probably use RCA from TV to RCA then to T5.
My Android Box got SPDIF output. Might research further then Birthday sales I try to order.
Cause if using TV, my TV got Optical and RCA Output.
Android Box connect via HDMI then I set in TV Settings to play sound on RCA Audio out.

Will try then I let you whether it works or how the sound look like.

i've always wanted to try this T5 subwoofer. i've read reviews from chinese online selling platform before. there are many negative reviews on it. the sale finally went delisted. but not sure why it is still sold in SEA market.

what does the negative review mentions? quite interested to know

low quality bass. just poorly controlled boom-boom.

this is my first sub so i dont have an idea about how a good sub sounds like
but yeah its the cheapest 8 inch in the market so can't complain much too 😂

Mine too. First and only the cheapest sub.

Have you received it? Any reviews?

Received last week on 18th December 2021.
So far no issues. I only set on 20-50%.
Edifier recommends to set between 50%-70%.
Just that have to be careful when touching metal parts.
Can get a shock when touching the screws or metal things.
Had to move the subwoofer in front a bit so that I don't accidentally touch the metal parts.

Cannot set too high cause afraid will disturb the neighbours.
I set around 20% to 50% like that. Will try another movies one day. Now resting due to booster side effects.

Good thing is that when subwoofer is switched off the speakers still works although when source is connected to T5 then T5 to S3000 Pro. Easier for me to choose 2.0 or 2.1 without having to unplug and plug the RCA cables.

Gonna buy Bluetooth receiver to RCA ports to play via Bluetooth for subwoofer together with speakers as only RCA cable can be used together with subwoofer. Others input only speakers without subwoofer.

What? Electric shock? That shouldn't happen.

Ya. I asked Edifier.
They said it's normal when touching metal parts because there is current pass through.
Like not recommended to touch behind especially metal.
Even I PM TS on this thread also experienced shock when touching the metal parts.

Actually you feel something tingle on your fingertips when touching behind.
Will try to touch again once I bought the stand.
It's either if connecting subwoofer will experience.
Gonna try another day.

When I setup first time. Try touching behind and I don't feel anything behind. If like touching the knob is safe to touch. Like the volume dial, bass and treble dial.

It's either socket or cable thing.
Now temporary I put on the floor until edifier restock s3000 pro stand. If not I will buy 3rd party stand to pair together.

I tried to adjust the bass or treble dial.
Accidentally touch the screw, can feel tingle.
Make me move my hand away quickly.

Use 2-to-4 RCA cable? speakers can still work with or without subwoofer turned on.

I use 2RCA to 2RCA cable connection
The one included in the box.
I placed order for new 2RCA to 2RCA cable from vention.
Cause we are using wall TV cabinet. Cable not long enough.
Using default 2RCA to 2RCA cable cannot close the cabinet cover.

I connect from TV audio out 2RCA to T5 Signal In.
Then from T5 RCA Signal out to S3000 Pro.

I try switching off T5 Subwoofer halfway while playing music.
The S3000 Pro speakers still even works without power on subwoofer even connect to subwoofer as pass through.

Source --> T5 Signal In
T5 Signal Out --> S3000 Pro

Easier for me to choose 2.0 or 2.1 setup without having to unplug the RCA cable. If let's say I plan to music not EDM music then I switch off subwoofer or else I switch on subwoofer for boom boom songs.

Only that Bluetooth mode and other mode besides RCA input can play sounds through speakers only.
Gonna buy UGREEN RCA Bluetooth Receiver to connect to the subwoofer together.

2 to 4 rca cable like this. From source to subwoofer and speakers in one cable.

https://shopee.com.my/ready-stock%E2%9C%BE%...44-2d894989bcff

I didn't try in this way.
Gonna survey on this as well.
So far my setup still works. Will try this.
This way I can connect another speaker to it.

If use this way then cannot play with Bluetooth if wanna use subwoofer. Will search for more cables like this one..

Are you using cables for your S3000 Pro and A300 Pro setup?

This post has been edited by FusionXY: Dec 27 2021, 04:29 PM

bro, in this setting, when u turn off SW, still can connect speaker and phone via bluetooth and play music?

Yes. As Bluetooth from the speaker itself not from the subwoofer.

If want to use subwoofer together with music through Bluetooth. Need to buy Bluetooth RCA receiver like this below.


Subwoofer is optional to add together if want to feel like realistic sound while watching movies.
For airpulse series got sub out so any type of input can be used with the subwoofer.

The S3000 Pro only have RCA input only. Doesn't have output sound to another speakers or subwoofer.
Means that from speakers to T5 using RCA Input on the speakers and Signal Out on the subwoofer.
Meaning that only RCA input from TV as subwoofer can be used together with the speakers

Hope this answers the question.

bro, few more question. under the setting u mentioned (without this Ugreen BT RCA),
when SW is on, can use S3000 remote control?
when SW is off, can use S3000 remote control?
When SW is off and the source from TV (watching movie), the speaker has no sound?

When T5 Subwoofer is switched off and on won't affect the S3000 Pro remote. Will work even both either off or on.
Cause S3000 Pro only controls the S3000 Pro settings.
Behind the speakers got bass and treble dial. If put on the stands still can change. I set both treble and bass as 0.
Will change after I got the stands. Temporary put on the floor.

For the 3rd question. If subwoofer is switched off when connect to TV as source. Speakers will have sound as well.
Something like pass through. I got surprised when I tried switch off the subwoofer halfway playing music. The speakers still works. It is easier for me to choose either 2.0 or 2.1 setup without having to unplug and replug the cables.
Just that more extra cables.

Just that T5 Subwoofer need to adjust the volume and LPF behind the T5. Set the preferred ones. But have to really set the right choice cause T5 mainly put on the floor. It will be troublesome if want to change each time that you have to move the subwoofer to the side.

I set mine both 50% line pointing towards up.
For some reasons that I need to set TV volume to 0% even though I connect the RCA cable. As the TV will play from the TV speakers even connected to T5 Subwoofer and S3000 Pro speakers.

alright
thanks bro
im currently eyeing on S2000 mk3 then only consider if wanna improve on bass
need to wait for flash sales first

Guess 11.11 is the best choice to buy.
Tomorrow edifier having sales on Shopee tomorrow.
Lazada from 3rd to 12th Jan having prosperity sales.

have u used this before? i wonder how the lag is

This post has been edited by Skylinestar: Dec 31 2021, 07:09 PM

Planning to try this later.
If got local product similar to this then I will choose the expensive ones.

Maybe will get this.

I got this no brand adapter. It have APTX HD for quality and if lag is your concern it also have APTX LL.
It can act as receiver and also transmitter. For cable connection, it have input and output for optical and 3.5mm AUX.
Last time bought almost RM100 IIRC. Now cannot find the listing for this. This is using chipset CSR8675, if other model have same chipset or better, and also have BT 5.0, APTX HD and LL, then I guess should perform similarly.

Hi, can I know is it s3000pro bass is not enough for you ?
How is that feel after add t5 ?
I planning buy s3000pro for my new house living room
Mostly I play edm and watch action movie .

Subwoofer is important for EDM and action movies.
Without it also fine. If want like boom boom then subwoofer is needed. Like shooting, helicopter, explosion scenes.

Wait for Lazada Birthday Sales on 27th March 2022 to order.
You can test without T5. You can add the subwoofer anytime.

If really not urgent maybe can wait for 11.11 sales.
I find that 11.11 sales have the best deal for s3000 pro.
Do buy from Lazada as Lazada might have Bonus will be back this year. RM100-10 bonus during sales offer.
You can get s3000pro below RM2K during offers.

You can ask Zoozoka as he also using S3000 Pro without T5.

Oh.. OK
Coz YTD I ask official Edifier. They say t5 not suitable for s3000 pro..
Hahaha

Actually can connect.
But if want to connect also can.
Source > RCA to RCA > T5 In >. RCA to RCA > T5 out > Speakers

Actually without sub also good. It depends on your preference.
The reason why they said not suitable because due to no sub out. The only disadvantage using subwoofer together. The only input is only RCA Input.

Meaning that if you connect through Bluetooth or USB or optical or coaxial as only speakers works. Subwoofer need to connect through RCA Input. That's one of the main disadvantages.

I copy the sentences from AVFORUMS.

Oh....

Shopee official edifier say s3000pro bass is much powerful then t5.
So no suitable for s3000pro

I'm think of this.. for your previous post...
If want to add Bluetooth
Aux or Bluetooth > photo device >RCA >t5 >s3000pro

Oh I see. Will try without subwoofer.
See how it goes.

Yes. Try find those got red and white rca only.

Heard zoozooka recommended.
YouTube got people tried.

Avforum mention can.
Already bought both during sales.
Will keep as later will pair with other low end speakers.

Did i recommend t5

Can you test how low and solid the bass of both t5 and s3000pro can go?

Yes. You recommend to add sub if not enough.
I thought only sub to pair is edifier T5.

How do I test that ya?

look for hd sound track like frequency test 100hz - 0 hz
