I have the subwoofer Edifier T5, with and without it made a lot of difference, In short, a must have to utilize the "sub out" if you own this pair R1855DB.
Did you experience any issues with low sound playing? I am asking you this due to the auto-standby feature in the T5 that power off the subwoofer automatically after 5 minutes. Someone reported that on the reviews in Amazon.They say that they have to increase the volume to turn the subwoofer back on. Thanks
@@vincat84 Did you buy it? I'm looking a for a decent subwoofer to go with the 1855 but I don't want something that stop every 5 minutes and doesn't reactivate itself.
do you use pre amplifier? if yes, please give me link or model because my R1855DB's sub out produce low voltage, so I need to maximize 12 inch sub's gain to hear bass
By the way. I to plugged the R1855db to my old E3100 (2.1 set without its own speakers) edifier subwoofer to the common RCA left right ports. Of course the subwoofer performance was not the best but it worked. However, the speakers were still playing the low frequencies (bass sound) sounds . Could it be that in this case the low pass didn t work as I din't use the right subwoofer for this case? Thanks,
I am impressed by the audio produced out of this though I am a world-class hi end speaker designer!! I know that sounds a bit funny 😃 true though.. Which microphone are you using? We do calibration with some high end stuff but yours looks a bit economic set up but gives a good outcome..
Thanks for the interesting video. On the German Amazon site I read a customer review that deals critically with the subwoofer connection and it was complained that the signal sent to the subwoofer was too weak and even if the volume on the subwoofer was 100% it was still too quiet . The customer used a Saxx DS 10 Evo as a subwoofer, which I don't know myself. In this video I found the sound with the subwoofer quite convincing. How was the volume set on the subwoofer, i.e. was there still room for improvement? Thank you.
Thank you for your thoughts. I don't know why some are facing issues.... I only used a basic subwoofer using an amplifier board that needed a sub in connection and it worked just fine... In fact with a better sub the effects would have been considerbly better.
Hi, It's been an year since this review, do you still think Edifier R1855DB with combo of a subwoofer - Yamaha NS SW - 100 or Yamaha Subwoofer NS-SW050 works fine or shall I look for something else? If Edifier R1855DB is till decent enough, shall I go with Yamaha NS SW - 100 or NS-SW050, the difference is or around INR 10K between these subs.
Dear Manmeet, Subwoofer is a one time buy especially if you go with that SW 100 it's definitely going to help if you like deeper bass at lower volumes. The 50 may be slightly smaller still not a bad buy. End of the day if your a bass lower go for that extra 10k 😊
I have an R1700BTs and I connected the Sub Out output to the auxiliary input of a Panasonic SC UA7 tower with a stereo cable. The basses in the Edifier are canceled with the cable connected which is normal, but they are heard at a very low volume in the tower even when the volume control is turned up to the maximum. That could be happening? That Sub Out output is only compatible with some types of subwoofer? Thanks!
In 1:42 - you said: "you will get this thumb, whenever you switch on the amp, just remember" - but I get this thumb, when I switch off. Is it your slip of the tongue? Is it normal that I get this thumb on subwoofer, when I switch off r1855db?
@@rtechreviews .. interesting thing is, that when T5 subwoofer was connected previously to Edifier r1280dbs, it wasn't heard this thud, when I switched off them. Could you explain it?
Hey rTech, thanks a lot for this. I have the same speakers for over 6 months now and I am shopping for a sub. I have a few questions: Is the sub out a line out or a low-pass out and is it volume controlled from the remote or is it 100% all the time? These factors will decide which sub I buy. Thanks in advance.
What connection did you use for sub? sub out or line in?, if using Sub out on these stereo, it's will disable bass on that and you need to test without subout connection.
Hello, thanks for the video. I also have r1855db and I'm also considering buying a yamaha ns-sw100. Will I get a good fit? I'm curious about your comment on that. Thanks.
@@rtechreviews Thanks for your answer. For the sw200 model, I think I will stay behind, the reason is that I think even the sw100 is enough for the neighbors to be disturbed :D I even thought of the sw 050 model just for this reason, but because I care about the bass depth, I decided on the sw100 model, which goes down to 25 Hz. I think sw200 can go down to 28 hz, but it's more powerful than sw100. I think sw100 would be the ideal one for me.
these are peaking my interest for TV speakers with a sub attached......OR.... should I go with the s3000Pro's with no sub as my TV speakers...your thoughts people ? thx...cheers from Canada
Depends on the room size.... 82 Watts is good room filling sound for aboit 120 sq ft of space .... Adding a sub just elevates the bass and lows... S3000s are much bigger and will provide a big boost in all frequencies for larger rooms and ofcourse better components will make it sound richer
Great video i wanna buy some speakers for my laptop i am going to use the speakers for listening to music and watching movies i looked at the edifer R1850DB and i saw the new model R1855DB what are the difrence between the two models? and wich would you recommend the most between the two models?

@@rtechreviews Thanks for your reply, so without AMP, i can't use my subwoofer? I'm considering R2000DB vs R1855DB, sadly R2000DB doesnt have sub out line. If i cant use my subwoofer without AMP, i might choose R2000DB
so the connecting model is: r1855 + sub => AMP => audio source? I have both TV and laptop in my bedroom so prefer wireless connecting than ton of wires
Hi, sometime please let me know which subwoofer is best for a basshead who needs heavy but relatively long listenable? And should I just enjoy music from phone and laptop or does it need an amp like Nad, emotiva, rotel, etc.?
Please check the compatibility of the subwoofer with the owners manual or your Subwoofer dealer ... The only thing I can tell you is that the output is a 3.5 mm jack the other end of the cable goes to your Subwoofer and that can be anything from a 3.5 mm or an RCA etc so buy accordingly
I have these speakers. They are really very good on their own. I wouldn’t bother adding a sub woofer. There’s no need. In fact, if I was going to do anything at all, I might change the speakers, for the upgraded Edifier S1000DB model…
I recently bought the Edifier R1855DB and I'm surprised by its tonal broadness and transparency; especially for that size. I suspect there's some undocumented DSPing going on :) at least they don't sound "analogue". If thats the case this is a little bit of a downer, but yeah, thats the way it is today. And if so, I'm wondering about the line in connections: Are they analogue or DSP'd also???
@@rtechreviews well actually back in the days B/T and equalizers were build completely analog and their existence alone would not indicate there's digital sound processing^^. I'm just surprised no review mentions the existence of DSP here, which kinda explains why they sound so pleasing. HiFi ist gone I guess...^^
@@rtechreviews actually I bought new speakers and a new turntable primarily for listening to my old record collection ... being now forced having the music digitally sound processed sounds terrible at first. But I will give it a try.
@@Liberation_from_the_matrix definitely missing a whole lot of lower frequency information. All bookshelves need a sub, regardless what they claim. Even a lot of floorstanders require a sub to play the full spectrum.

Could it be that in this case the low pass didn t work as I din't use the right subwoofer for this case? Thanks,

Edifier r1700bt vs edifier r1855db cual consideras mejor en cuanto a sonido sin importar la conectividad
make sure to sync the output phase of the main speakers with the sub so that it will sound louder.
Absolutely, I reversed the polarity and it sounded a lot better thank you :)

I think I liked it better without the sub... It seemed to add more hum than thump.
Maybe it's the recording 😊 but in reality world the sub does fill the room with bass 🔊
