Product Information

The Edifier R1700BT’s sound quality is exceptional. The bass has a nice punch to it and the treble sounds crisp without being tinny. The R1700BT is composed of MDF and wood, and the R1280DB is composed of MDF. However, both speakers are really sleek and modern looking, and they certainly look like more ‘high-end’ speakers. Features Because of its port bass reflex facing front, the low frequencies are significantly emphasized, which provides powerful bass. Tone Control n terms of the design and shape, both of them are almost similar to one another. As you take a look at both left and right sides, you would agree that they are almost equal to each other.

If you utilize a line-level connector, control knobs can be found on the right side. Both models have this knob, and with bass that starts at -6Db to +6db for the tremble starts from -6db until =6db, as well as the volume knob.Another thing to consider the location of the speakers inside your setup. Preferably, you would be thinking to put it on head heights while you listen to it. The Edifier R1280DB is an affordable bookshelf speakers that satisfy the needs of most people. That is what makes this model a great choice if you are in need of a new pair for your home or office. The speaker also has an integrated amplifier for better sound quality without needing external amplification from a receiver or other system. This makes it simple to connect-up these speakers and get started listening to music straight away! The R1700BD's were my least favorite speakers, I'd probably choose the R1280's over them if I had to, the treble sounded decent, but not too shabby. No bass, vocals sounded muddy, sounded quite narrow, definitively wouldn't recommend.

Removing the grilles reveal a 4” bass driver and ½” tweeter, as well as flared bass reflex port. The right (active) speaker, also houses a series of controls to dial the speaker tone across both bass and treble, independently. It also offers a single volume control dial. Design I loved the way Edifier approached the control panel on the right-side speaker. The darker colors used on the concave element add a little something to the overall design. The dials themselves feel brilliant, with a firm response that doesn’t at all feel cheap. The sound quality of the Edifier 1280DB is comparable to the sound quality of other bookshelf speakers in its price range. However, the 4 inch bass driver is the same size as the 1700bt. So if bass is something you’re concerned about – rest assured they produce similar output. Try to listen to a certain song, you will notice that there are definite sound warmth and depth with the upper bass and mid-range kept tamed, but it’s still bit tail-off at its top-end.

Because sound is often subjective to the listener, I am always hesitant to give fixed frequency adjustments. For me, I found the clearest audio to come from dropping the 75Hz – 200Hz range down to -2.6dB while increasing the mids between 500Hz and 2kHz up by just +1.4dB. For me, this seemed to stop a bit of the bass bleed. Who Are They For?
