    Edifier R1280DB, which in reality is Edifier R1280T with added Bluetooth connectivity and digital inputs, has a price tag that puts it very close to Edifier R1700BT which begs the question - is it worth it? In my opinion You are better off going with R1280T if You do not need the additional features, or R1700BT if You need Bluetooth. R1700BT sounds more detailed and natural than R1280DB especially from the mid range to high end (all though it is a bit to bright as well, but You can tame it a bit with tone controls). R1700BT is also better looking and better build than R1280DB.
    What do You think? Which one would You choose and why? Let me know in the comments below! Cheers!

    I've watched sooo many video comparisons at this stage and thanks to Digital Stereophony and the user comments I've just ordered the R1700BT for the best overall value/price and sound quality.
    I miss something in the R1280DB sound, kinda muffled to my ears. This channel is invaluable!! Thanks a lot.

      @draganakuzmanovic911 2 года назад +5

      Yes, definitely muffled sound in the 1280's, first demo revealed it right the way. 1700's have much clearer and fuller sound.

    • @DikiBolz
      @DikiBolz 5 месяцев назад +1

      Vocals are clearer with 1280 because 1700 is more mid scooped. The other point of view is that 1280 has less pronounced highs which opens up the space for upper mids.

  • @vicx05

    I did a side by side test with these speakers and this is very accurate. The 1280db has slightly deeper bass but the 1700bt is SO much crisper with a much larger sound stage. The 1700bt is better overall, especially for movies as it's much easier to hear dialogue with the clear separation of sounds.

    I ordered both recently and came to the same conclusion most people are commenting: the R1700BT is a little brighter and my pick for "winner" of the two sound wise. The 1280 still sounds good, boosting the treble a little improves it too, but with everything at 0, the 1700 in an easy win. Vocals and live music sounds much more natural on the 1700. I don't see an issue with not having a sub on either set - there is plenty of bass for most of the people that will probably be buying this speaker. Note that the 1280 has a digital out and cox out, that the 1700 does not. This may factor in some peoples decision as the 1280 will be easier to connect to most TVs via the digital out (i actually found this super annoying, since I then needed to use two separate remotes to control the tv and then the sound).
    Aesthetically, it's a hard pick for me. I do like that the 1280s have a flat front as opposed to the 1700s slant. This has to do with where I have the speakers mounted. I like the 1700 cabinet well enough and the build quality is far superior to the 1280, but something about the 1280 color scheme draws me to it more (both were the wood grain versions).
    Hope this helps.

      Hi, just wanted to touch more on the idea about controlling the 1280's tone, adding more treble to get close to the 1700 brighter sound. Do you think it's possible to do that and save money and getting more options in terms of outputs as well.

    Bought the 1280db at first cuz I was on a budget. Today I got the 1700bt on sale for 110$. Instantly sold the 1280’s to my dad. There is no going back lol. I was so torn apart choosing between 1280t and 1280db at first and eventually went with the db’s just because I’ve got a potent motherboard on my PC which has digital output and I was thinking that’s going to make a difference, but eventually I feel like I made a mistake since the db’s sounded so muffled. Lucky for my dad though is that he needs the BT mode. Now with the 1700bt’s it’s day and night difference and I’m no audiophile by any means I just wanted something decent for my gaming rig in the 100 euro range and I feel like these are unbeatable, they are definitely worth the “entry-level audiophile stereo speakers” tag I have read on various reviews about them.
    And of course thank you for these videos. Really helped me finally making a decision.

    Thank you very much for your great vids, your channel is fab for music lovers in need of a good comparison between brands. During many times of listening to this video I noticed more and more that individual instruments on te 1280DB have much more character than on the 1700BT. This is very noticable during the classical music, the cello sounds full and warm. Accoustic guitar sounds very natural, so do piano notes. At first glance the 1700BT speakers seem more open, but the sound is (imho) 'tuned to please' with way to much high frequencies, no natural sound, mainly bass and highs. So last week I decided to buy the R1280DB and all I can say is: wow! After 4 days of breaking in they sound amazing. One of my test CD's is by the Crash Test Dummies (album 'God Shuffled His Feet' with MMM x3 etc) and I hear all kinds of new little effects, riffs and individual background singers. I am very, VERY happy I bought the R1280DB speakers, they are a marvel. The bass is full and punchy, but not overpowering the mids and highs. You still hear melody in bass lines. They sound bright, warm, never tiring and very natural. I'd buy them again, and again. I'm hooked. Greetings from Holland!

    Just opened and setup the R1700BT. Bought on sale for $134 AUD. My review is 3.5 stars. Good sound but the Treble control doesn't do much, and mine is not properly aligned (the groove at 12 o'clock is at 1 o'clock on mine; the Bass knob is fine). The speakers have a nice weight and feel like decent quality, except the wood effect feels a bit fake. I would recommend a minimum 5" driver (R2000DB maybe) for anything bigger than a bedroom. I got the Mackie CR5X on sale for the lounge room after my KRK 6" became faulty.

  • @yuheny0
    @yuheny0 3 года назад +26

    Okay, so nobody ( as far as 10 comments down) thought about the tone controls of both speakers. So, I was wondering, would the R1280's be a better option because of the output options by tweaking the treble to achieve close to clarity sounds of the R1700? I mean, the bass and treble controls are there for a reason right?
    Judging from the comments below, some people prefer the crispness of the 1700 and some people find it harsh. So, wouldn't the R1280 be the best overall if you could just tweak the treble to match the 1700's?

My solution is to buy both so I get the best of both worlds! But its cleat that the 1700 is miles and miles better on the top end and mids are less muddy but the bass on the 1280 can not be denied. Hard to believe it's delivered by cones that small!

    1280 is warmer, 1700 is neutral. The 1700 hit the high notes a lot more confidently while the 1280 were recessed. Both were great but definitely prefer the 1700. I prefer brighter and detail over warm and "fun". Though during the "Man On Fire" portion it was a bit rough to listen to the 1700. Good thing both have EQ. The vocals on the 1700 is a whole lot clearer which is the whole reason why I'm upgrading my speakers. When I watch a movie I don't ever want to feel like I need to turn on subtitles again.

      It's been a year since this comment, did you get the 1700? How is it for movie dialogue? Was it bad with the 1280?

    I need a help. I like very much the test, but it is possible to choose the best song, but I would like to use in my home studio. So, my question is, what is more "flat" to use as studio monitors? my room is small, and I will not make acoustic preparation, it is only for my hobby. Thanks

    The R1280T sounds exactly as R1700BT ( good for rock music ) BUT THE 1700 has more power! R1280DB is kinda flat just like his big brother thE S2000 PRO ( good for acoustic music folk songs and oldies like beatles ) BUT THESE LITTLE DIFFERENCES CAN BE ADJUSTED BY THE TREB AND BASS TO SOUND EXACTLY THE SAME, YOU CANT GO WRONG ANY ONE OF THESE JUST PICK YOUR NEED IN TERMS OF POWER... im currently using the th S2000 Pro and sounds amazing, i test both A200 airpulse and S2000 pro, money wise i got the S2000, ok so i figured out that the edifier has 2 different settings, which and which? Hehehe its color coding, the black or dark in color is always in V setting and the light color like the R1280DB is the normal setting ( flat ), but again you can always change ur equalizers to sound exactly one of them because Edifier have this signature sound within their speakers including headphones, jeez try the new ANC headphone from Edifier it will blow your mind. Ok so there you go i hope it helps a lot of viewers...

    Best comparison video I've seen so far. I think I'll go with 1700s too. If the sound is a little too bassy, I think that with a bit of adjustment on the knobs, it should be fine tuned for my preference. The 1280s do sound just a little muffled.

    • @user-zm5sw3xu1w
      @user-zm5sw3xu1w Месяц назад

      The Edifier R1280DBs is the best neutral sounding entry level audiophile speakers for Vinyl playback, they have pleasant high and a good bass and more importantly the mid's come through quite well , so a good all rounder for all genre of music as well. Plug in a T5 subwoofer and can take it to the next level :)

    1700bt tiene buenos agudos con mas vida pero tambien flaquea tambien porque a veces como q tiene mucho brillo en el sonido en cambio el 1280bt es mas plano mas aburrido pero no esos momentos de brillo. Depende el gusto de cada uno

    Ссылаясь на данный видеообзор при поиске колонок от 4 до 10 тыс. и проанализировав рынок, характеристики, отзывы, фирмы, качество - все таки решился приобрести эти колонки.
    Описание и впечатления:
    1. Звук заметно качественный после SVENа за 2,5 тыс. (легкие, MDF-пластик), но звук не идеальный по отношению к Сони за 15 тыс. и звуковым системам HI-FI (не сравнивал и не слышал, но как показалось что частотный диапазон бывает прям ВАУ по сравнению с этими качественными по звучанию EFIDER R1700BT по наслышке и интуитивно)
    2. Качество корпуса + вес. Однако если возьмете черного цвета и колонки будут расположены вблизко (10 - 30 см) и при освещении от светильника внутри пористая структура дерева будет выделять грязь, белые пятна, пыль. При выборе цвета имейте ввиду если колонки будут вблизи перед вами, но по мне черный цвет идеально вписывается к монитору и системнику и решил поставить у монитора, дефектов внешнего вида уже не заметно.
    3. Громкость звука удивительная. Через кабель если подключаете, слышно как 10 Вт вместо 30 Вт. Как и те SVEN-новские. Через блютус громкость 25-30 Вт ! Это маленькая бомба ребят! Звук качественный, громкий, вблизи не послушаешь но на максимум слышится немного каши в частотах, но это не особо огорчает вперевес всем частотам, качеству, громкости. Басы пробивают сквозь тело и на средней громкости, особенно если выкрутить бас на всю. Соседей достать можно но не нужно) . Кому не хватает баса чтоб прям, лучше прислонить колонки к груди)
    4. Пассивная колонка звучит громче пассивной но не сильно заметно, если прослушать на маленькой-средней громкости вблизи. Наверное из-за длинного кабеля ко второй колонке.
    5. По моей версии пульт на 6 кнопок. Все функции выполняет. Единственное когда выключаешь колонки с пульта он выключается, но механический выключатель на колонках остается включенный для галочки. В этом случае старайтесь не проеб*ть пульт, иначе хз как вы колонки включите) А лучше не выключать колонки с пульта и вовсе.
    6. Блютус по айфону и андроид.
    По айфону - громкость регулируется везде (на колонках, с телефона, с пульта). Оптимальное решение - прибавить на всю на колонке/с пульта и прибавлять/убавлять громкость с айфона, что очень удобно.
    По андроиду - громкость регулируется только с колонок и пульта, что в некоторых случаях не очень удобно. Может мой телефон старенький не имеет возможности прибавлять/убавлять громкость, уточните у других пользователей и собственно вопрос и к вам!

    The R1700 seems to me to translate the music more faithfully. the r1280 sounds too dirty for my liking. I prefer the r1700, I'm going to buy some monitors to mix music and I'm between the r1700 and the JBL 140. which one do you recommend of the 2? to mix music.

    idk if you listened through monitor speakers or monitor headphones but when I listen to the 1700 on my TV it sounds perfect while the 1280 sounds muffled. But when I listen to it on my phones the 1700 has a lot of treble, almost hurting the ears and it lacks medium when it comes to the electric guitar parts, snares, brass on the jazz. while the 1280 that sounded muffled now sound good becausa it has everything that 1700 lacks in medium

  • @audfrknaveen2256

    I felt drum beats are better in R1280D. Is it because R1700BT are little bit bright, and the highs are masking the mids?
    Secondly, when you made this video, all the bass and treble controls are in neutral?

  • @postmortemritual
    @postmortemritual 3 года назад +3

    R1280 are more warm, ( detailed mids , a bit boxy) A possibly good choice for vinyl maybe? In the other hand, R17OO sounds V equalized strong lows and highs, less mid, not bad at all. As always, usefull video.

    I purchased both. I found the R1700BTs very harsh and tinny even with treble all the way down so much so I didn't enjoy listening to them. I found myself wanting to turn the R1700BT down and not listen them at a high volume. With the R1280DBs I enjoy them at high volume.
