About this deal

With a 79W RMS powering the 4″ drivers, the low end has greater boom and depth compared to the weaker R1700BT. The Edifier R1850DB speaker is a device that delivers high-quality sound for an enhanced audio experience. It offers a sleek and modern design, making it suitable for various settings. The speaker utilizes advanced audio technologies to produce clear and immersive sound reproduction. Choosing what is right for you depends on your needs. If you just need a set of speakers to do the job PC speakers are fine. They perform well for gaming, TV, and general listening.

Our servers are getting hit pretty hard right now. To continue shopping, enter the characters as they are shown There is no real difference here in the quality, but both are rigid enough to prevent any unwanted resonance. Being that we’ve already reviewed R1850DB’s younger sibling, the R1800BT, we suggest taking a closer look at that article for a more in-depth analysis of the unit’s sound. Conclusion Located at the rear of the primary unit you’ll find both Treble and Bass control. These work as intended and allow for fine-tuning. A handy feature especially if you want to use these for mixing due to the slightly unbalanced default setting. I feel like I’m doing the R1700BT an injustice here because its an absolutely fantastic speaker, but the R1850DB is just that little bit better with the controls.While the R1700BT provides incredible value, the R1850DB’s extra connectivity, sleek design, and subtle but noticeable audio improvements are worth the very little extra.

The sound is lovely and tuneful. Good bass and midrange and has a nice treble to the sound without being harsh. A familiar design meets new technology. Featuring Bluetooth 4, the R1850DB bookshelf speakers can be paired with any device. Simply sync your smartphone, tablet or computer and listen to your favourite music, videos or games. The latest Bluetooth 4 wireless technology is great for playing from multiple devices. The Bluetooth is a great feature allowing us to use them to play music and videos from our phones as well. To achieve this they often color the sound to place more emphasis on certain frequencies. This makes for a pleasing sound with warm bass and distinct highs. While great for general listening they do not perform well as dedicated studio monitors.

Customer reviews

The front face is angled to direct the sound, so you won’t need to use monitor stands. Also, you can remove the cloth panel to expose the drivers. However, keep in mind that the panels help to protect the drivers and diffuse the sound. Edifier 1850DB Considering the budget-friendly price point, the R1700BT speakers feature a rigid and well-engineered design. EDIFIER R1850DB 4 นิ้ว 70 วัตต์ มีแอมป์ในตัว การเชื่อมต่อ RCA/AUX, บลูทูธ, Optical และ Coaxial เหมาะกับดูหนัง ฟังเพลง ใช้ร่วมกับคอมพิวเตอร์ EDIFIER R1850DB For example, if you aren’t happy with the audio low-frequency output, you can opt for a budget subwoofer down the line which isn’t an option with the R1700BT. One weird thing about the remote control is that it features two volume up and two volume down buttons. The button pairs do exactly the same thing and we’re not sure why Edifier decided to include multiple buttons for the same task. Other than that, the remote control does its job perfectly.

For me, I hooked them up via Aux-in and Bluetooth for this review and it just worked. The bluetooth range was stable in large rooms with open spaces and only broke connection when trying to pass the signal through walls. For a 4″ driver, the R1700BT woofer can provide a respectable bass output for a bookshelf speaker, even if it only goes down to about 60Hz. As for the output level, these speakers can get seriously loud. What’s somewhat surprising considering the price is that they don’t distort even at higher output volumes. The sound quality remains undistorted and smooth, although the balance will shift towards the upper end of the frequency spectrum. For music production and mixing, it is recommended to use lower volumes. The 1850db is quite comparable to the 1700BT in terms of sound quality. In addition, it delivers incredible performance with minimal power wastages. These are a set of speakers that I could and would use on a daily basis. If you’re in the market for something reasonably priced and of real high quality then I’d suggest you grab a pair for yourself.We were not paid for this review. The speakers have since been returned to the PR Company working on behalf of Edifier. The R1700BT has a 4-inch woofer with a forward-facing bass port, which produces a fulfilling low-end delivery. Also, the 0.75-inch silk dome tweeter will handle high-frequencies. Active bookshelf speakers are much maligned in the audiophile world but anyone doing so doesn’t quite get the point. For a lot of people the world of pairing, matching, and even setting up speakers with amplifiers is a pain in the rear end. Believe it or not people like just being able to plug something into the wall and start listening. I’m not going to sit here and argue about active vs passive speakers. I’m going to review this set of R1850DB for what they are, active powered speakers with an in-built amp. Although you may want a speaker that produces amazing sound, it should also fit your studio’s aesthetic. Edifier R1700BT The flared rear bass port is securely mounted to avoid rattling or tearing with use or when being moved around.

Good quality materials and cabinet. Multiple inputs and tone controls make this a solid bookshelf speaker. For those that listen to a lot of bass-heavy music, the DM-50D set of monitors from Pioneer is a good alternative. It is also able to get quite loud without distortion The Edifier R1700BT provides remarkable features with an excellent balance between design and performance. It delivers clean and distortion-free sound. On the other hand, the Edifier R1850DB will enable you to enjoy audio from any wireless or wired source. Although the bass is sufficient, there is an option to add a subwoofer. Sound quality It’s such a shame that these are just loan units, as I didn’t want to let them go. They’re really really good and when the sun is shining, the BBQ is on there is little else you’d need, other than a good sound system and the Edifier R1850DB’s hit the nail on the head. Maybe because they didn’t engineer the remote but took an existing design and just printed their own label?

Unboxing

When you look at the price, it really isn’t that much more expensive and I’ve seen it on sale multiple times. Likewise, the highs retain that clarity. Cymbals and hi-hats hit cleanly without any distortion. There is plenty of sparkle on the top end. Potentially a little bit too much.
