This is an awesome review. I was on the fence about getting this for my studio set up and the Amzin reviews were not very convincing but this review definitely helped me to make a clear decision. Thank you again!
These look pretty nice for working with audio. I've been in a smaller space for the past year and had to sell my JBL monitors and have been using studio headphones, which have been good for mixing work and really focused critical listening, but do get uncomfortable after extended usage.
I couldn’t agree more. Color may seem like a simple big decision factor, but it really is. Lately I have been trying to buy a new car and I have been very particular about it being black this time around. And I do believe depending on what shade of color you surround yourself with that will also greatly impact your space and your energy. I like these speakers a lot. I just might get them. But I will probably get the black ones. Thx.
I clicked on this for the reassurance that these were good speakers, but now I feel like I have a pretty solid grasp on Mac users and what makes them tick. Fantastic video! =)

They market it as studio monitor but im hearing they’re more of a book shelf speaker, ive even ordered it without knowing, i’ll let you know how it is after it gets delivered
do you like the sound better in the MR4's or the R1700BTs ? used as speakers for a PC desktop ? trying to decide between the 2 great review cheers from Canada
i ended up going with the Edifier R1280DBs and the T5 subwoofer will give it a go if not happy with them will try the KANTO REN they are about to come out soon
Hey Kyle, thanks for the video! May I ask how you connect the speakers to your Mac mini? What cable did you use? I am not 100% sure what is needed to connect the Mac mini to speakers. Thanks!
I am torn between these and the Edifier R1380db bc they have bluetooth and also have a white version... Thanks for the video! Although your point about have the jack in the from is a good little extra.
I have a pair of TEAC "bookshelf" speakers. I really like them but they would be SO much better with a headphone jack and the volume/power controls in the front.
Great studio monitors at a very affordable price! Since they're narrow field, don't forget to raise them up about 5" to get the bass effect if you're sitting down. Flat on a desktop the bass will stay below your ear level and go right by you! No BluTooth to lag your signal either!
I ended up buying Presonus Eris 4.5 BT, because of the larger size, looks and bluetooth option, so I am not limited with the wire, if I decide to go with smaller speakers at some point for my PC and use these elsewhere with my phone or something. When I first got them they sounded a bit aggressive compared to my previous speakers. I think I was kind of disappointed with the quality, I though that I could hear more difference to my old cheap pc speakers, but the main difference was this aggressive sound. They were not boomy though. Speech is really clear and it just gets better if you increase the volume, unlike with my previous speakers. For music, I think I would want more color to the sound somehow. Although, I am really inexperienced with speakers, so I didn't even know what to look for. I am not usually impressed by the speakers anyway. One thing I noticed is that I started to like the sound of my sony headphones more when I got these speakers. I was thinkin that could it be because I don't like the sound of these speakers as much I did like the sound of my previous speakers. Although, I got a newer version of bluetooth at the same time, that may have also made some difference. I think the speakers look good and I think I am kind of happy with my purchase. No hissing sound or anything like that. I wish I could compare them with other speakers, because I think that is the only way I could hear the difference. I am thinking, if I should have gone with eris E5, because my speaker stands have space for them also. But they are more expensive and I like to have the power switch in the front of the speaker. I eventually skipped edifiers, because I got a feeling that it may be even more over hyped than presonus. I would like to try edifier bookshelf speakers and compare, if thouse would give the color I may miss with these ones. They may become more boomy though. @@fiudad
I had so far * 3 years * the presonus eris 3.5 For using as playing guitar and some mixing with using behringer umc22 external sound card Are those speakers capable for the same usage ?
Do they have any static noise when turned ON but no music is playing or any sound coming from them? I know some speakers have static noise when speaker volume turned fair amount up and no sound is coming out of them. Huge dealbreaker for me, have you noticed anything?
Im testing these now, they are good value for money only really falling short in the clarity department for dialogue in movies with a lot of ambient sounds going on, then they tend to loose seperation and squash it all together making sounds that shouldn't be loud really noticeable. They are certainly better than most sound bars which have simply abysmal clarity usually and that white minimal look makes them pretty well the only option in the price range to suit your basic white modern apartment nowadays. If they only were a bit more powerful with a bit less distortion for a bit more money and took off the tacky name tag on the front they would make everything else even close to the price irrelevent but for pc use at 1 meter away there is a LOT worse on the market.
Can i connect them to interface audio? Have 2 jacks behind for monitors, but here i see jus RCA cables. Is there any small/white alternative to them? I would tove to put them into the interface to have all in one studio setup, thanks - great video, love it ;)
There are literally TRS balanced inputs on the back of them you can see in the video lol. The guy just doesn't have needed cables and audio card for that.
Excelent video, Exactly what I needed to hear about those audio monitors. Have you tried them via RCA vs TRS plugs? Noticed less hiss? Thanks, your channel is awesomeeeee
@@KevinXolioHi. I just tested right now this Edifier MR4. Upon plugging to power outlet, when I put my ear directly to the tweeter, I noticed there's slight hissing on both tweeter especially when I put the volume knob in Max. I didn't connect any RCA or Aux cable yet. Do you think its normal or it's some factory defect? Thank you
These speakers are NOT for anyone looking for whatever but recorded sound. I hate the word "designed for" but there is a big difference between monitor speakers and others. Monitor speakers are really designed to reproduce the original sound as objective as possible. Their point by design is fidelity. Hear exactly what has been recorded. That's why if you're going to judge them, you can do it only against other MONITOR speakers. Not talking to you, Kyle. Just explaining things.
hi, i'm thinking of replacing two technics sb-ch515a speaker connected to a chinese mini amp of 50w per channel. I was thinking of replacing them with these in order to have the empty desk by putting them on shelves on the sides of the monitor, the current ones are beasts and I can easily reproduce even 40hz thanks to their woofer so I'm curious to know if these here have a good acoustic performance maybe from 50hz up and especially if in studio mode the sound is flat. Thank you
Thanks for the great review. I want to buy it and I have a question about the sound card. Will there be any difference if these speakers are connected to an external sound card such as the Creative Sound BlasterX G6 or to the built-in sound card in a laptop? Usually a high-quality sound card is advised for speakers with an optical input, but they are not here. These speakers also have their own ADC-DAC. And I don't understand if I need an external DAC or a sound card for my laptop.
Haha, don't buy things like these If you want a great DAC, use Apple 3.5 MM USB C dongle. If you don't like apple get Tempotec Sonata HDPro or Shanling UA1. But don't buy these so called soundcard
@@arghadeepmisra7865 Then you might want to do some research on the topic. It has made a tremendous difference on my end. This is coming from the best onboard sound available. The comparison is not even close.
@@OCX600RR If you want I can give you proof my friend. I do research on these topics, I reviewed almost 100+ dongle DACs and 50+ Source Gears.

I'm trying to find something that I can plug into the 3.5mm jack in my monitor. This way, I have sound no matter which hdmi or dp I'm using. Should these work for that use? The last set I tried were the Sanyun speakers on amazon and those only gave me feedback when plugged into my monitor. I'm not expereinced with this stuff so any help is appreciated.
Is there anyone here who use this monitors for recording electric guitar? I use amp sims for my guitar and i need a budget monitors like this. Thanks in advance ✌🏻
I thought this also, in a way these are too cheap - $109AUD or $74USD... Not elitist by any means but I'd rather spend a bit more and get something half-decent.

@@Hyperactivs i have both and i prefer the mr4's, their clarity is just on another level. however you'll be missing out on the r1280t's bass, not that the mr4's lacking, it just doesn't have that same punch. i actually did a sound test and with the mr4's you can start hearing sound at 30hz, and the r1280t at around 40hz. and although the mr4's doesn't vibrate through your table the way r1280t does, it actually sounds fuller. let's just say if you're more into gaming, go for r1280t, and if you want a higher quality all around speakers, go for the mr4's. btw, after using for sometime the mr4's, i tried using again the r1280t's but everything sounds muffled/dull, even the bass!
Just bought these. Excited to get them. Getting my first pc and first speakers for my monitor. Feeling blessed
If you use foam mounts or some sort of Iso stand you can get more energy in the low end out of any monitor.
