Let's critique these speakers... by sitting BEHIND THEM.
No no noooo!! It's not fucking called a "tweeter island", it's called a coaxial speaker!😂🔊❤
Doing a speaker review, listening behind the speaker. Game over.
😂😂you make my day😂😂😂
He's listened to be in detail previously dumb ass 😂 There pointed towards the mic/you because you probably haven't
My thought precisely then you instantly know there is no audio knowledge there
@@matthewhorncastle5973 Right...
😂 I don’t think it ever started
Coming up next Ferrari 488 spider v Fiat Panda....but which is best????
lmao😂😂😂
Not an audiophile, but I guess the Panda.
Now you know why hot chicks hang with average looking chicks. Because everyone looks good with a nice piano finish, essentially?
No... You're not an audiophile. Far from it. Edifier makes good value products - but they are no where near the performance levels of those KEF's. Start by sitting infront of the speakers... fix the echo in your room... be consistent on your feedback. Nothing can sound a thousand times better and a minute later its marginally better. You also need to educate yourself on how good sound actually sounds.
Okay….
Funizweclive fair points, but in all fairness you need to educate yourself as well.
Edifier makes the Airpulse A80, A100, A200 & A300.
The A100 are half the price of the Keff LSX and in my humble opinion are equal in performance and my personal prefference goes to the Airpulse.
I'm even surprised that there's a response to this, after so long. And incase my comment was taken out of turn, I wasnt trying to sound smart or troll the comments. I made the above comment out of experience, not guess work. I own a few Edifier products, including the above mentioned and have had the Kefs. So using that, as well as my experience of being in the audio hobby for about 2 decades... I'm not just rambling. But, I'll respect your - preference. 👌🏾🙏🏾
"It does just sound better, a thousand times better"..... as he sits behind the speakers to listen to which ones sound better.....
I'm pretty sure that proprietary cable was a standard midi cable
Your only argument for the KEF sound is "they sound a 1000 times better"??? That's it, we have to watch 12min of video for that conclusion? If you haven't got the tools to measure the sound at last talk about how the present mids, highs and lows. They are a 1000 times better is something you expect coming from a 10 year old calling himself an audiophile.
Just my honest 2 cents..
Your kind of a dick bro
@@alexanderholley3849 yeah but he's honest tbh
very bad editing
They both sound like my headphones. amazing.
lol
"I'm an audiophile"
sure
SMALL DICK ALERT
@@luidonaldson1307 no....
So one minute the KEF's sound "one thousand" times better, but the next minute they are "only marginally" better sounding. Great review keep it up MarzBar!!!
They just sound better....like a thousand times better........seconds later.....they just sound better....just by a margin.
Sounds 1000x better
A few mins later:
Only marginally...
Judging by the reflections of the sound in your studio, you are busy with reviews in which you yourself do not understand anything.
Marginally but 1000X’s marginally better. LOL!!!!! 😂
at 9:40 -> " the kefs sound a thousand times better", at 10:35 ->"sound quality, the kefs take it but only marginally." no further comments...
LOL
You say this listening to them through a compressed RUclips video out of a smart device...
@@youwhatmadeidk sry, didnt know youtube compression changed people's speech. Maybe in the uncompressed version the reviewer was totally coherent in his speech... Man, people just get dumber every second
Rui Lucena I replied to the wrong comment mate sorry.
I've never understood these types of speaker comparison. End of the day, for both tests, I was listening to compressed youtube audio coming out of a pair of midrange headphones.
"I'm an audiophile" say's the guy who's got reflections bouncing all around him.
we all know the best way to judge your speakers sound quality is by putting your head between the speakers facing forward. great review!
You’re not an audiophile.
Lol ya should be going BOSE. They the best!!
If he says he is, then he is. A very bright young man!
I'm confused...you firstly said the KEFs sound '1000x better' then near the end of your video you said the KEFs sound 'marginally better'.
Gee Yes , I was about to comment on that too. I think the last statement was more accurate because the Edifier really sounds great also specially for the money.
I was going to say the same exact thing.
I just do not understand why you would pay 2k for those, for $1000 you can get an insane pair of speakers connected to like a $200 amp that will have way more connectivity and controls than those, and speakers that will blow those out of the water. If you are a true audiophile, thats the way to go. The KEF/all powered speakers are more just for convenience sake than true audio quality.
you are missing the point of an active speaker. Using active crossovers and EQ means you can get so much more from a speaker than using passive crossovers and a single amp channel. Its the combination of streaming, DACs, active EQ, dynamic boost/limiting, phase-corrected-crossovers, and 4 seperate amplifiers all inside a pair of LS50s that makes them special. much more audiophile than say, hooking up a $200 amp to a pair of passive speakers.
Wait... sounds “1000x better”, but then “only marginally” on the sound quality?
You aren’t an audiophile, you sit behind the speakers when listening to music...
What is wrong with people criticizing ? Leave the Man alone. He did some good and did not ask u for anything in return. U do something.
Kefs sound awesome. You really have to hear them in person. This video does no justice to how good they are.
Yes, the Kef are better, i own a pair. They cost far more. This guy seems to know nothing what so ever about HiFi, but is an audiophile?
Hi dude. First you say the KEFS sound like a 1000 times better than the Edifiers, and in the conclusion, you say "the KEFS are best but only marginally? What's up dude? :)
Mick Jagger's lips is just a kid man. :)
Sorry but you have no idea what constitutes good audio, who are you trying to emulate?...be yourself.
Put speakers asymmetrically for equal stage width.
if you are and audiophile than I could be a unicorn
Beware, both the video and the comments section are a hot mess...
Instead, put your current speakers on stands, get them away from the walls, angle them to the listening position, and enjoy the music ;)
why are you screaming?
I find your tech videos very interesting, however I couldn't help but notice you saying that the "[KEF LS50s sound] one thousand times better [than the Edifier R2000DBs]", then seemingly contradict that. When later referring to sound quality you said "the KEFs take it again, but only marginally". Which one should I believe? Am I missing something?
Oh also, an RJ45 ethernet cable, which is the kind the KEFs use, should be able to carry data over 100m or so. It might pick up a lot of electrical noise on the way though, so it's best to use a high quality, well shielded cable if you wanna run it that far.
Holes, holes everywhere!
Not sure you can make a judgement on sound quality if your not listening to that speaker directly, you’d have to be an idiot to buy speakers after listening to them on a video
Why didn’t you just get some half decent pair of studio monitors and a 32 band eq and colour the sound to your liking
And that isn’t a proprietary cable it’s a midi cable
Don't confuse the poor lad, his 'audiophile' knowledge goes as far as well marketed consumer based gear
Leo Do you know anyone who produces graphic EQs these days, I mentioned them in a hifi shop recently and the assistant looked horrified..I like to tailor the sound to my liking.
James Fellows gear4music usually has a good selection that website sells just about everything Music related
You said the KEFs were 1000x better when listening to them but then at the end you said the sound quality was only marginally better?
Last thing I’ll do is seating behind the speaker and nod my head pretending that I’m listen to sound quality!
I have KEF 104.2 Speakers for the last 30 years. And play them to this day (2018) And love the sound.
Once you hear a kef it hard to go back
judging sound quality from sitting behind the speakers?
You should learn facts before you do review, price at least, tweeter island??? So missleading review!!! And you are not an audiophile, you are simple uninformed!!!
Tweeter island? He killed me on that. Lol
I am sorry, but when people do sound tests on nice speakers using a laptop I can't take the test serious. It is just one sound clip of which quality is not known, is it MP3, a CD of FLAC? Then the micky mouse wire setup running to the speakers. I am sorry to say, but I must agree with the majority of the people here this is amateur night..
This guy talks louder then the speakers at max volume!!!!
It's sounds 1000X better but it is just marginally better. What!!?
A lot of talking and not enough music comparison
So this man can review speakers by sitting behind them, also speaker positioning not his strong point. Or maybe he just doesn’t know.
Young un’s these days ...
When did 220GBP become 200 USD?
Saulius A makes the title better innit
this dude doing audio tech... smh .... and with that horrific room echo on top...
Also the song is Two Feet - Quick Musical Doodle
EEEEEEEEEEEEEthernet & Plethora not Eh!thernet & Pelithora
There is something wrong here : the Edifier sounds sharp, clear and dynamic. But when you switch to the KEF, the sound is very compressed and blurred and not punchy at all. I know the KEF LS50 should sound much better than that. Did you use the exact same mic position and settings for both pairs of speakers ? All I can say is the Edifiers, as they were recorded here, sounds much better than the KEF, which should not be the case.
I'm listening to it on a reasonably high-quality hifi system with tube amplification and the Edifiers sounded much better to me, also.
The edifiers default setting is dynamic mode. This is its dsp which allows it to sound artificially more dynamic with boosted lows and highs. Switch it to classic mode and it will sound flatter like the kefs.
I'm glad you said that because I thought the same thing. Although I dismissed the whole test. Listening to a pair of speakers through a microphone then a set of headphones. Also youtube compression. It's just ridiculous.
Reviewing speakers from behind them with the speakers facing out into an untreated room. Dear oh dear.
How can you do review of speakers when your recording and positioning is poor, your room treatment is poor (or none)? LS50W sounds like $40 Logitech speakers in this.
The people who watch this video won't appreciate how amazing LS50w is, 'cause what you are showing isn't convincing. Head to "Kenrick Sound" channel and learn how they show off the speakers.
This is a bad job of doing a comparison. Just saying, good start if you want to review audio. But please learn from other reviewers.
Practically, obviously, a useless comparison, yet neatly brought and a lot of fun to watch!
Btw, the KEFs sounds "a thousand times better" but take the win only marginally?
1. Stop shouting
2. Learn the proper way to test a speaker
3. Learn the proper way to shoot a video
4. Reshoot
Josef CK Ngai Right. Tested with only one track and with only one microphone! Didn’t even talk about frequency response of the speakers either.
The kefs sound much better..Like 1000 times better!! Then in your next breath the kefs only sound marginally better ffs make your mind up!
$200 speaker, that track sound better. What an idiot
Hi today on techblow I’ll be comparing these two sets of powered speakers. On the left is my dad’s set of Kefs which he doesn’t know I’ve got in my room and on the right is a set of edifiers I bought with my birthday money. Thanks Nan!
Next week I see if I can fit my fist in my mouth.
At laaaaaaaast. Two feet for sound demo and not some trap crap.
Congrats young mate. I personally thank you for that. !!!!!
You may be a lot of things but you are not an Audiophile.
Yes, he is. Maybe he's not an audio-expert, to your standards. But being a '-phile' just means someone is very fond of or in love with whatever the 'phile' is aimed at.. In itself it says nothing about the level of expertise. :)
You said the Kef sounds 1000x better, and then later only marginally?
I always watch your reviews when I want to piss myself off
Once you set up a speaker you never go near it again...so all that touch screen crap is clickbait bollocks...the source is 90% of your final sound the speaker is a delivery system so marginal gains in sound and the top end sounded muggy enough on the KEF's (which is probably more down to matey boys ability to tune them properly) makes them expensive gimmick speakers There are speakers in the €500 range that would blow them out of the water minus the gimmicky controls
I like how you're comparing the sound of two speakers while sitting to the side of the speakers (very far off axis) which gives you a completely inaccurate representation of their sound.
Wow, that's some not great reviewing. 10 second comparison of different parts of the track and not going back and forth to hear the real difference.
Man, fix the room’s acoustics asap.
Big NO NO... you cannot tell which speaker sounds better on our end... PERIOD. It's going through a mic and playing through our headphones or speakers that could be highend or crap... I am blown away that anyone is stupid enough to think you can hear which is better through a youtube video.
You still can compare the difference because its recorded the same way but you can never hear how those speakers sound real life.
You got some videos from chinese/japan audiophiles on youtube that recorded some super awesome jbls/kefs and stuff like that with very good sound recording (they also walk around and recorded stereo sound )
It is possible to make decent speaker compairing videos for youtube (at least a lot better then this review is what I wanna say).
Ive heard some simple edifier speakers that did cost just 120 euro's and they actually sounded very good for their price and made from quite decent material too.
They didnt even distort with gain on max wich surprised me.
For people on a budget they are great.
ruclips.net/video/PFRzcZz1_6s/видео.html
This one for example , you really can hear and expect these speaker sound awesome.
This is a terrible video demo - the music during your playback was mono.
The amazing stereo imaging and depth of the KLH would be obvious as hell in person.
Also, you chose wildly compressed electronic music, again nothing that would ever show off the merits of a high end, truly dynamic speaker. Good speakers make acoustic music sound "live and visceral" rather than "electronic hi-fi".
Well this is what you get if you let an average youtuber review some speakers.......... he has no idea what he is talking about or even needs to talk about. It is hilariously bad.
9:28 starts comparing speakers & evaluates with speakers pointing away from his ears....
YOUR SOUND WAS MORE LONG THAN THE DEMO YOU PROVIDED. YOU ARE A GOOD SPEAKER.
The Kef's win on sound "Only marginally"...
lol
Keys look like washing machines🤣
hahaha you are an audiophile! you made me laugh there son
The LS50Ws have a wide soundstage, very open, details can be heard, they are steep for the price tag but personally I think they are worth it.
Don't let the moaning shites get you down mate. I hope you're having fun doing this videos. We all know that today's mediocre music media will never sound any good whatever you do, or play it through, but if you can make a bit of cash with hifi reviews, then go for it. I admire your enthusiasm.
Stop shouting
Thanks to KEF for sponsoring this video.
I have the bose companion 20 speakers and I use them for gaming cost £200 and sound incredible no subwoofer needed and has a control pod
SOMEBODY GAVE BIRTH TO A NEW 🪄
MR. BEAN 😂
An Audiophile? Err, no you are not 😂
dont make any reviews. 20 seconds of sound test in mono!!! and 12 minute of meaningless talk. facepalm
If you're going to review hifi/audiophile gear, your audio has to be on the better side of decent. It's not. The reverb from the room is atrocious. Please spend some money on room dampening.
totally agree, this was a horrid listen.
agreed, this is how it should sound minimum. vimeo.com/290154524
Yup. Gain was up and down and there was clipping at times. Very amateur.
He needs to spend money on educating himself first.... because with his audio - knowledge, who the hell knows what he will use as dampers.
Ironically, Edifier sounded much more detailed and exciting. How did you record them?
Ridicuolus listening position, its like to watch TV from behind...
Mick Jagger Jr. ??? Is that you?
Hahaha...
Edifier does not have a big heatsink because it uses a class D amp w/c runs cooler over the competition :) Sound over performance, Edifier is the perfect choice. Cheaper but does sound great for the price :)
Actually The kefs do not do airplay. More a Hi-Fi streaming solution, Roon endpoint. You have to sit in front of the speakers to really appreciate them, especially the image the coax driver of the kefs can deliver. The kefs have a Truly amazing soundstage.
why is he saying Ethernet so weird ?
I hate to say this, but we cannot possibly comment on what sounds better from a recording from your microphone, compressed by RUclips through our speakers or headphones. On the other hand, you cannot possibly comment on what sounds better from sitting at a desk BEHIND the speakers you're listening to. At one point you mentioned the USB port on the KEFs and said "not sure what that's for..." - without researching I'd guess it's for firmware updates via USB thumb stick - but the point is - do the research before shooting a video. You have a nice setup there with the 'man cave' style office and clean looks and you could do so much better if you think about how to present your reviews. I'm not saying stop, I encourage you to get better.
Remember the type of product you're reviewing - KEFs are very high quality products on the whole - your audience are going to know what they want a reviewer to be looking for.
Please don't take this as negative, I'm trying to be constructive. You could have a really good thing going here mate.
Good luck!!
sitting behind speakers and acting like you are listening for sound quality difference.. bravo ! you are just a kid with some extra spare change..
This is a pure example of a poor reviewer
you make your decision with listening behind the speakers, seriously?
I've spent far too much money on audio gear but one thing I've learnt over the years is. It's all down to personal reference.
Eh well I have never heard anyone complain about the B&W 800 series. They are objectively superior to any other you will find.
Nah Dynaudios wipe the floor with them. Yet to hear anything that comes close. Shouty mids for mine the B&Ws, vocals way to forward
@@DC-js4gk. I'm a Monitor Audio man myself.
@@ItsExetic Tell that to Wilson Audio
@@hellobooom price ≠ better audio. I've never been blown away as much as the 802 D3 did, and they were even standing in a huge conference center. I heard the Wilson Audio Sasha 2's in a much better listening setting.. they are WAY over priced for what they sound like. If you buy anything from WA you really don't care about the audio as much as the bragging rights.
Nothing beats the price/performance B&W gives imo. Even their lower end stuff is amazing. Heck why do you think a lot of car brands use them as their premium audio setups.
Besides shouting at us you don't know what you're talkin about
Kef is shit
Stick to what you know, if you know anything at all, cus this aint it
I've used two types of premium over-the-ear headphones for this video, and with both, the Edifier sounded so much better!! kef judt muffled. This means that you need to invest in your recording setup.
What is the explanation of Edifier superiority?
Appreciate the review but I can't say your an audiophile. If you were listening to both speakers to see which sounded better you would have positioned yourself in the sweet spot in front of the speakers. Sitting behind the speakers doesn't give you any real idea of what either speaker truly sounds like. Also, there is no way for people to tell the difference between the speakers while listening to them on youtube. Each will sound the same for the most part depending on the speaker / headphones of the viewer. All in all, the Kefs are an amazing speaker if you can afford them. There are good options for far less, like the Elac Debut line of speakers if you can power them effectively.
I have the LS50's and they are awesome - I chose to go with the non-wireless versions in gunmetal grey. Don't hesitate to buy these speakers - they love my Zep, my Mahler and my Miles.
