I began this journey looking for good speakers for video editing. I'm not a sound master guy but I want things at a good place for hand-off for mixing. Typically I'd be at the studio but with covid, I've been WFH. As these would occasionally serve as personal speakers, the aesthetic was also very important.I started really high-end then went really low, trying to get as close to the sound quality I heard from high-end speakers, without spending $800+ per speaker.The Edifier S2000MK3 hits the sweet spot in the pocket (below $500) but sounds (and looks) like speakers worth 5X as much. I would have gladly paid much more for these. Honestly I'm looking to see where I can put another set. They're that good.Now on to the more audiophile-y stuff. Not spec talk or technical mumbo jumbo as a lot of that's out there (plus I'll come off pretentious and you'll hate me. Honestly, I'd rather describe the listening experience anyway ;-).First off, the soundstage is incredible. And for those not familiar with the term, it simply means the presence of the sound in the room. The Edifier S2000MK3 fills the space with full, epic sound that's sweet and serious to the ear. You'll find yourself discovering parts of favorite songs you never knew existed. Matter of fact you'll spend your first few days revisiting old favorites, just to hear how they sound through these speakers.And the features are enough. 2 RCA inputs means my macbook pro and synth/sequencer don't have to fight for a cable. Optical just in case I want to run this through a tv one day. Bluetooth is easy and strong. I don't rely on it for editing even though the lag is barely there. I didn't notice a quality drop when listening via bluetooth, however if you listen intently at certain volumes, you'll pick up on very slight distortion/static. It's not there consistently but depending on the song, it may pop up a few times. All this to say that 95% of people will not notice this. This is me being extremely nitpicky, as there were no cons outside of that.The bass is very responsive. Tight and crisp. It can boom, but that's in Dynamic mode(or with bass dial turned up). I usually have it in Monitor mode, even when listening to personal music. I find this truer sound representation more enjoyable. When I'm at my desk sitting center, the sound feels like it's coming at you from dead center, whilst giving you the ability to pick out sounds that travel from right to left and vice versa.It will be love at first sight when you open the box. The speakers are heavy. The materials, premium. I don't fiddle in the back much but when I do it's a pleasant surprise how first-class the knobs look and feel.Trust me on this one. There's a reason these have a 5 star rating(as of this write-up). Do it. Just order it now. Don't hesitate. You've found it. This is the one.

Someone else wrote a review with the word 'eargasmic'. I think that sums up these speakers in one word. I didn't know sound like this was possible. I hear things in songs that i've never heard before. I find myself going through my entire spotfiy replaying everything...its awesome.The sound quality is difficult to describe. When I turn the volume up, it's different than regular speakers. Instead of getting louder, it feels like the sound just gets more 'full'...if that makes sense. It gets louder, but its different in an oddly satisfying way. And it does get loud if you were wondering...I don't know about party with 50 people loud, but it gets loud to where it's uncomfortable to sit in a room with them on full.I knew I wanted these as opposed to the similarly priced klipschs purely because of the weight. I think the klipsch's are around 10lbs. These are around 40lb. I don't care what technology a company claims to use, weight in speakers almost always corresponds to better sound. period. Everything else any company claims is going to be mostly a marketing gimmick...if they don't have weight. I listened to the klipsch's in a store before I bought these and they sounded light and flat. It made sense to me. These are rich, full, and everything I hoped they would be, and if I looked at nothing else about the speaker but weight it would make sense to me.My only concern with these was the lack of a sub output. And this was a major concern for me because I like bass. I saw a lot of reviews on here where people were listening to classical music and jazz and what not. Well I listen to Eazy E, Too Short, Cardi B, Tupac, Biggie, etc, so I was concerned that the lack of a sub wouldn't get me the sound I like. Well to my surprise, the bass is deep, rumbly, full, and everything I hoped it would be (but didn't think it could be). I turn the bass up on the back almost all the way and it hits. I never would have thought i'd say this, but they don't need a sub. If you don't believe me listen to "face down" by Mustard & lil wayne, "get in where you fit in" by Too Short, "freak" by Tyga, just for example. BRU, I'm telling you they hit. And the bass is soooo clean, deep, and crisp, not overblown. What they won't do is play bass that's not there, like if you had a sub and turned it up so that it sounded like crap...these don't do that. So if you don't hear crazy bass in your song, it's probably because the song wasn't made to have crazy bass.As far as build goes, I was also blown away. Especially compared to klipsch. These have what appears to be solid wood siding (not particle board) and like a dark black metal frame. They look sexy, 100%. I also like the remote. It's not a typical cheesy speaker remote like 90% of the other speakers on the internet have. It feels like quality and it works as it should. The LCD (or OLED?) display on the front is awesome too. It also looks sexy. You can control 4 different modes of sound type. As you might have guessed, I keep it on 'dynamic'. To me, and the type of music I listen to, it sounds the best. The cord that attaches these two speakers together looks like a freaking umbilical cord...it's thick and heavy (also sexy). I'm telling you, someone carefully planned every design aspect on these speakers and it shows.Honestly one of the best purchases I've made recently. No regrets. The only bad thing about these is they're going to ruin your listening experience for all other speakers...all my other speakers sound like crap now. Other speakers just get 'loud', these get 'full'. Buy them and you'll see what I mean.Edit: 1 year later, still best speakers I ever bought. Buy them.

Excelentes bocinas activas. Antes de comprar reflexiona si quieres estas bocinas para muchos años sin cambiarlas. De otra forma te recomiendo el clásico: amplificador-bocinas pasivas donde podrás hacer cambios cuando se te ocurra de cualquiera de los dos componentes.Dicho esto, el sonido es excelente tanto para vinilos como cd y no se diga lo sorprendente que es reproduciendo fuentes digitales o de streaming. El bluetooth es excelente y el dac conversor que soporta APTX hace que los mp3 desde mi celular (que también soporta APTX) se escuchen muy bien. Los vinilos, cds y streaming de lujo. No soporta mqa. Si lo quieres tendrás que comprar un dac que lo tenga y conectarlo a los parlantes.El volumen (que también llaman ganancia) es fuerte pero sin distorsionar. Llena mi sala que es abierta, unos 90mt cuadrados y le sobra.Tiene unos graves muy buenos. Si te gusta el ponchis ponchis estos parlantes no son para ti ya que no traen entrada dedicada para subwoofer, pero no te preocupes, le puedes comprar un dac amplificador con entrada dedicada.Muy buenos altos sin ser sibilantes o que te causen fatiga auditiva. Los medios son bastante buenos y se nota en las voces femeninas y masculinas. Cómo sea, los Edifier tienen mandos físicos para graves y altos así como 4 modos de pre equalización. Si aún quieres más, puedes utilizar el ecualizador de la aplicación de tu reproductor de teléfono o del programa que utilices para reproducir tu biblioteca digital de tu lap o compu.Contras: cuando quieras cambiar tu equipo lo tendrás que hacer con todo (bocinas, amplificador y pre); no tiene salida dedicada para subwoofer; el cable de conexión entre la bocina activa y la pasiva es muy largo como de 2,30 de largo, sin embargo a muchos les servirá para la colocación remota de una de ellas.En general le pongo 5 estrellasTengo un mes con ellas escuchándolas cuatro o cinco horas diarias y no he notado ruidos extraños o distorsión. Aún así me reservo para actualizar esta reseña más adelante.Actualización.Después de dos meses de tener y oír las bocinas, sigo pensando que son una maravilla. Las he probado con todas las entradas y salidas que tiene, también con streaming de video (películas) y música, PC, CD, Viniles, etc y el sonido es magnífico. Siendo necio y queriendo “mejorar” la calidad de sonido, lo conecté a los dacs SMSL AO300 y el IFI Zen ONE Signature y créanme que no le agrega mucho (termine devolviendo ambos), acaso las entradas para audífonos o la dedicada para subwoofer (no lo necesita), pero en mi humilde opinión ninguna de las dos vale la pena para mejorar la calidad del sonido y sobre todo para el precio que tienen.Solamente una cuestión, cuando subes el volumen al máximo (ganancia) la vibración en el mueble donde las tengo hacía que se distorsionara el sonido y se percibía ostensiblemente (me asusté), todo quedó arreglado bajándolas al suelo, pero como no me quería quedar ahí adquirí unas almohadillas de aislamiento de vibración con sistema de esferas de acero (nada caras) y todo se resolvió magnifícamente. Los cables de conexión son los mismos que venían con las bocinas y de verdad no producen ningún jizz y el sonido es muy cristalino (ahórrate comprar cables caros). Estoy totalmente complacido con mis parlantes, tanto que he compartido con amigos sesiones de música y ahora ellos quieren tener unos iguales.

Where to start..Comes with plenty of accessories to use all the input/output it offers, really good packaging.They are quite heavy for their size, which is not surprising since they comes with everything integrated, but heaviness is almost always a good indicator of quality when it comes to audio equipment, except for these fake white van hoax home theater system.The cable that join both speakers is thick and long, seems well made, but some may hate it.Built quality is fantastic, they feels good, solid and well assembled. The wood finish is gorgeous and in general, feels like a way more expensive speaker. Knob are sturdy, connection seems sturdy too. Wish it came with detachable power connector like his bigger brother.The remote that comes with it is OK, made out of plastic, but feels good in the hand. Wish it came with built-in LED inside to easily use it when it's dark.Sound wise, if I had to use one word to describe the sound profile, it would be ''Full''.The sound that comes out of these small puppies will leave you speechless. The bass is deep, all the way down to 32Hz which has a small peak that gives a nice rumble during movie scene and music (Tho it will depend on your rooms since before adding sound panel on my walls, I had almost no response under 38Hz)I invited friends to listen to these speakers and every time, they were baffled by how low they goes for their size, really feels like you have a subwoofer in your room, Thanks DSP.The mids are clean and precise, somewhat forward but in a nice way. Vocals, instruments have a great separation and details that I could not even hear on my expensive earphones. For example, While listening to ''Time'' by Hans Zimmer, I can hear the guitar riff clearly even when all the string instruments are at their loudest, before the sudden silent. In movies, this is also really enjoyable because voices are presented almost like you had a center speaker.Thanks to the planar tweeter, the high are crisp and detailed and never fatiguing, except if you put the high frequency knob to the maximum. Everything is rendered beautifully, from cymbal in music to shattered glass in movies, there is nothing left behind.There is 4 sound profiles that you can select with the remote, I only use ''dynamic'' since it is the most enjoyable setting to my ear. Flat is... flat, like really flat, the sames as when you drink a opened Coke that was in the cooler for 2 weeks, nothing enjoyable about that. And the 2 others coloured the sound a bit too much for my taste in a way that it isn't as full sounding.In general, if you're looking for a good looking, good sounding, minimalist speakers setup to use with your TV or just for music listening purposes, these are a really good all-in-one do-it-all speakers. No need for an external amplifier, DAC, or subwoofer, they do everything.

Super speakers. The bass is very good and the quality of sound let you hear even the high pitch sound that is not completely covered by the bass. Surprising. You could think by the sound that it is coming from big speakers but they are sold as bookshelf (too heavy for bookshelf) . The speakers are heavy which tells us more about there quality. Sure you can have speakers which cost less than these ones but you wont have the sound that comes out the EDIFIER. They are well built and look great. You can also buy the matching stands made for them, but for the price asked you can look elsewhere and have great stands also. That is what I did. Cost ⅓ of the others. You won’t be disappointed by them. They are not wireless. They is a big cable that connect them to one another but they are bluetooth so you can use you phone or other device to listen to your music. There are options at the back of the master speaker to connect to your TV, DVD, LINE 1 and 2, COAX and OPTIC cables. A lot of possibilities.

todos vamos ahí por la vida atravesando diferentes desgastes de nuestra audición, lo que nos vuelve mas sensibles a ciertas frecuencias, algunos necesitan mas graves, otros mas agudos, etc,, no quiere decir que unos estén bien y los otros no, simplemente cada quien sus gustos y sensibilidad, en mi caso soy mas sensible a los agudos y me gustan que estén presentes pero controlados, estas bocinas tienen una buena imagen y soundstage al centro para los que me entiendan, pero a mi me causaron algo de fatiga en los agudos, pero con el Dac smsl su9 que tengo precisamente porque me gusto su claridad y agudos presentes pero controlados, los edifier s2000 han sido maravillosos, hay ocasiones en que le vendría bien un subwoofer, pero para la mayoría de las ocasiones los graves cumplen y los recomendaría por encima de incluso de la barra de sonido sonos arc, el combo de dac y estas bocinas es mucho mejor y a menos que encuentres una buena oferta de las barras de sonido, este combo es mas barato, y también en México es difícil y costoso conseguir un buen amplificador para bocinas pasivas, con estas solo te hace falta el Dac si les quieres sacar el jugo, el detalle es el de siempre, todas las speakers bookshelfs debes asegurarte de poner el tweeter a aproximadamente a la altura del oído y separarlas para que cada una te aviente el sonido de tu derecha e izquierda, ósea que si no tienes el espacio para ponerlas igual y no te satisfacen, pero estas ya son cosas de gente mas entusiasta del sonido y eso ya lo saben, si eres principiante y las quieres para tu televisión y usar el netflix o cosas de streaming, estas buscando en la sección equivocada, comprate una barra de sonido, la que te guste o los edifier basicos creo que son los r1280, suenan como cualquier barra pero si tienes el espacio a los lados de tu tele, se ven bonitos, simplemente el streaming de video no amerita sistemas complejos de audio, estas cosas si requieren discos para que valga el gasto

As an audiophile with a penchant for the finer sounds in life, I've traversed the sonic spectrum with high-end headphones, state-of-the-art amps, and an unyielding loyalty to uncompressed music. So, when my 20x20 garage workshop beckoned for a musical companion, my quest led me to the Edifier MKIII speakers. And oh, what a melodious journey it has been!After a few months of tuning in, I'm ready to sing praises (literally, thanks to these speakers). For its price point, the MKIII is a true virtuoso, delivering a sound quality that can make a symphony jealous. Sure, there are cheaper Bluetooth speakers lurking in the shadows of mediocrity, but if your goal is to serenade a 20x20 space with crystal-clear sound and a bass that hums sweet nothings to your soul, the MKIII is your maestro.Now, a word to the bass-hungry youth: If you're chasing that Honda-Civic-shaking, neighbor-waking, tooth-rattling bass, you might want to look elsewhere. The MKIII doesn't allow you to hook up an external subwoofer, and these speakers are not 10-inch woofers. But for those who've graduated from the school of seismic bass and yearn for a mature, robust sound that won't have the neighbors forming an angry mob, this is your jam, as they still put out enough bass for my wonderful wife to complain from inside the house about 100 feet away.Here's the twist – I adored these speakers so much that they've been promoted from my garage to the VIP section of my house: my bedroom. And now, with a speaker-shaped void in my garage, I'm on the prowl for another set. I snagged the first pair during a Black Friday sale (a steal, really), and I'm eagerly awaiting another deal to pounce on.In summary, even at their regular price, the Edifier MKIII speakers are a steal. So, whether you want to rock out in your garage or create a serene oasis in your bedroom, these speakers are your ticket to an auditory paradise. Happy listening!
