Good price, muddy sound

Colour: Wood

Good speakers for the price but the sound is quite muddy for voices or classical music. Bass heavy.

Don't buy 3.5mm cable adapter as there is one included in the box already.

Fantastic value

Colour: Wood

These little Edifiers are the best speakers I've bought in the last ten years. They aren't built to create a large volume of sound, but the sound is clear, crisp, and well-rounded. They provide quite sufficient bass response to fill a room at a reasonable volume. The Optical input and Bluetooth input were major selling points for me, and both function very well. The bluetooth implementation in particular is extremely user-friendly. I would absolutely buy these again.

Great sound, surprising level of bass too!

Colour: Wood

We've got these plugged directly into the optical output of our 4k TV, and the sound is quite a bit clearer than the previous speakers we were using (and way better than the TV speakers). The tiny remote is a real bonus too (our previous speakers didn't have one). The sound is really good - they aren't going to shake the walls but they are more than loud enough to ensure you get a good experience from movies and music. The bass is surprisingly good too (not quite as good as having a sub, but there's plenty there if you like your bass). Having 4x different inputs (optical, bluetooth, and 2x line in) is very handy too and we've already made...view more

Great size and amazing sound

Colour: Wood

Got the speakers as some extra sound for my room, no issues at all. Very easy to connect to Bluetooth, and the bass is very nice for the cost.

Ultimately no downsides of this purchase, enjoy every moment

Very nice and good :3

Colour: Wood

Using these for a PC setup, they're a manageable size for my desk, even with 2 monitors. Also, just because I couldn't find the actual size of them on this page, they are: 146mm (w) * 234mm (h) * 196mm (d)

They make a truly lovely sound, seemingly a bit better than my $450 headphones (though that might be new thing and louder bass biases on my part) and are definitely better than the old early 2000s speakers that they're replacing!

No cons so far, but I'll update my review (if I can) if I find any later.

I'd recommend these to anyone who wants new speakers if asked!

Great Bookshelf Speakers

Colour: Wood

These are great little speakers. I've got a pair hooked up to my computer and another pair for the TV. They're not high end, but they're great value for money and the sound quality is a lot better than the price indicates.

A big improvement over those tiny bluetooth speakers

Colour: Black

This is clearly a sound improvement over those terrible tiny bluetooth speakers you see everywhere. Nice to have line-in and optical-in options too.
