I have a question. Because T5 is a powered sub with rca input and output. Why not just connect pc to sub with 3.5mm to rca cable, and then sub to r1280db (no 's') with rca to rca cable? Will it work? Will the sound quality be the same?
R1700BT for me, has beaten every other speakers in its class range without a sub. This is the first time I see the R128DB's winning. BTW I love this channel.
@@V1ktorvaugnI'm having a hard time deciding which way to go for my first setup. I don't plan on upgrading since the used market isn't really an option here in India. the main issue is whether I should go for speakers+sub+amp or active speakers + active sub. from what I’ve learned, passive is the way to go for better flexibility, whereas active is the way to go for cost efficiency. budget is $200, with a future sub upgrade planned. should I get a 2.1 amp or go for active speakers since I'm not gonna mess with the setup at all except for adding a subwoofer later?
Amazing what Edifier has achieved. For the price they are the best speakers in their class. Just amazing. I have a pair of R17000 Bluetooth enabled. Listening to music and watching movies is fantastic. And it only cost me €110.
You’re absolutely right i had the 1280db for awhile then just got the 1700bts was so disappointed with the lack of bass and hollow dead mid but then i put on some megadeth and there was redemption. Just ordered the t5 for around 95usd here hopefully will solve the bass and hollow mid issue
1280DBS is the better neutral speaker more closer to an audiophile speaker, 1700BTS has sharper highs and lower bass but the mids sound a bit hollow, the 1280DBS on it's own even without the sub is an excellent speaker if you are after a more neutral soundstage especially if listening to Vinyl!
I can confirm that the 1280dbs is incredible on its own. But please do keep in mind, that it also depends what you attach it too. Bluetooth they sound incredible. On my laptop 3.5 they sound like trash. On my old steelseries gaming dac connected to my laptop they sound hollow but have more base if I pick "gamedac speakers" and good but with less base with "gamedac earphones" (windows sound settings). But if I connect them to my monitor (odyssey neo g8) windows sound setting (neo g8 nvidia high definition audio) they sound incredible and like bluetooth basically.
Hi how is r1280dbs + t5 sub compared to the edifier s350db? Are they similar or which one is better? As they are both similarly priced. Thanks! Great work on the demos
R1280DBs seem to have a little bit brighter signature to them, i wonder if that's due to the driver design having that slight wave pattern output. R1700BTs seem to dig a bit deeper on the lows from the track you played. Seemed a little muddy with say the jazz and bass heavy music compared to the the R1280DBs. great job with the demo!
I have had the 17 first and the 12 now. The 12's are more closer to the original sound, when i'm in Ableton. Anyway, both are so fantastic value fir the money.

That would entirely depend on your turntable. If your turntable has a pre Amp then another one isn't necessary. If your turntable doesn't have one, then you would need a standalone pre Amp.

I just bought S2000MKIII. It doesn't have a sub out. You can't hook it directly. My initial research tells me that you need to buy other equipment (Pre-amp that can split signal to speaker and sub) to use with a sub. You will need to look at other models if you want to easily add a sub. Like for Edifier models such as1280DBs and R1700BTs, the "s" should mean it has sub out. Don't get the wrong model.
@killboardTV Do you mean the bass knob on the T5? But as I said, you don't have a sub out from the S2000MKIII that you can connect directly to the T5. So the low pass filter knob is irrelevant until you can make a connection? Of course another method is to use RCA to connect to the T5's RCA in and use the T5's RCA out (passthrough) to connect to the S2000MKIII but then I'm not sure if the audio will be good since you get overlapping bass from both the T5 and S2000MKIII. IIRC the reason to use pre-amp is to isolate the bass from the rest of the higher frequencies with the T5 only receiving low frequency audio and the speakers for the rest.
@@anderu0779 Thank you for the feedback. I suppose there is no other proper way of connecting an external subwoofer to s2000mkiii but a sub-out which is missing in this particular model. If you're supposed to get the most out of it, the RCA method doesn't meet this requirement, so I'd suggest using s2000 mkiii without any subwoofer which I would say they don't even need. I do have another dilemma, I've had topping e-30 lite connected to my edifiers, however, the sound upgrade seems to me rather minor. A friend of mine who is an experienced audiophile confirms the improvement of the sound, yet it is not that big for real. Perhaps, he suggests, it might be more visible with a more expensive model of the speakers. And what is more, I've noticed that the sound through Spdfi mode is a bit more voluminous and wider compared to rca and topping. So, I'd still stick to topping, but don't feel much of an improvement and maybe need more experience. Get me to know what you think.
Great vdo as usual! I see the T5 subwoofer costs another whooping 150 bucks. Is it worth investing this money? How much would that create a difference to the actual experience?
Bought the R1700bts because I wanted the T5 to be a part of the setup. And it's such an improvement to the experience. Mostly cause it lets the R1700BTs relax and not worry about hitting the deeper bass notes, it can focus on the mids and higher mids giving it more clarity. Would say the T5 really adds life to the music you listen to or movie!
I'm using the R1855DB with my old Corsair SP2500 sub. Had to turn the bass on the Edifiers right down otherwise it just sounds too muddy. Sounds amazing now.
What is the difference between 1850 and 1855? Both are sold in my country. How much did you need to turn your bass down? Does the 1855 distort at max volume with the bass set at neutral and max? Thanks in advance for your reply!
@@AbsoluteFidelity The 1855 has a better remote and Bluetooth 5. Those are the only differences. The bass on these is good for their size, I just had to turn it down a bit when used with my sub. On their own they sound good with the bass and treble dials set to the middle/factory setting. No distortion.
Is there a sense to buy the subwoofer T5? Currently Have Edifier R1700 but additional bass would be perfect. Price is cheap and it cost around 150$ for now.
@@DSAUDIOreview what sub would you recommend me getting with my R1855DBs besides the T5? Within £200 budget. Been thinking Dayton Sub 1000 or Mackie CR8S
@@SaxeLAD I've had a Dayton Audio Sub 1000 for a while now and just got the R1700BTs speakers. I am in a very small space and unfortunately I'm unable to reference R1855DBs speakers. That said, I like the combo that I have. Some info (if you're interested): If I'm correct in assuming that a flat sound means barely any bass, then The Sub 1000 has more than enough output for the R1700BTs. Tuning for a bass-boosted sound, the Sub 1000 does well when matching it with the R1700BTs at max volume. If you want the bass to be significantly louder than the rest of the frequency range, I personally think that the Sub 1000 would be at its limit or not strong enough to match the R1700BTs at max volume. If my tools are accurate (I measured roughly 4ft away from it), it can do 80/60hz at just below 105 dB. It rolls off though. 40hz goes down to 90 dB with 30hz being lower than that. Trying to go louder with 80/60hz sine waves causes a strange effect that I'm not fully sure how to describe. It's like it hangs up then pulses instead of correctly replicating the sine wave.
Regradless how it sounds in this vid, the 1700 is superior in every way. In real life, the 1280 sounds thin and rolls off at the higher end of the spectrum much earlier than the 1700. 1700 has so much more headroom too.

That's probably the R1280DB, which is the regular version without the sub-out and some lacking specs, also the older one. R1280T and the newer R1280DBs sounds better and goes deeper, in real life even the 1280T which is a cheaper and more simple version, goes deeper than the 1280DB, this channel also has that comparison. But the newer R1280DBs has probably a different DSP or something, they can go down to 51 Hz and sound is rich unlike the regular DB ones (55 Hz says Edifier web page). Btw strangely the 1700BT also sounds richer than the 1700BTs version. Most likely a DSP issue like I said, since they have sub-outs, things get complicated there.
@ R1280T, R1280DB, R1280DBS, they do have a slight variation among them but none of them come close to the 1700, 1850 and 1855. All 1280s sound rolled off compared to its bigger brothers and will distort way quicker at same higher volumes. Headroom difference is huge, you just have to listen to it in real life. Just bought the 1855 after listening to the 1280 (DB and DBS), 1700 (BT and BTS), 1850, 1855 and 2000 side by side. Anyone that says there is no difference between the 1700 and 1855 or 1850 and 1855 have not truly heard them in real life. I wanted a speaker with sub out, so I tested all the speakers above and threw in the R2000DB just for fun. The 1855 was clearly the winner, and it sounded even better to my ears when compared to the R2000DB, besides the bass. That wasnt a problem as I intend to add a sub to it. Now Im waiting for my sub to arrive, but the 1855 is doing a pretty good job of covering my 6 x 7 meters living room.

@@AbsoluteFidelity R1855DB also does not exist here, we have R1850DB but damn it it's 280 USD here. We have some serious tax issues when it comes to imported electronics, that makes the so-called budget products like the Edifier speakers hugely expensive here :( Even the R1280DBs is 210 USD here but they are slightly cheaper compared to their brothers. 70 USD seems a tiny price difference but that's not, because 1 USD equals to 8 Turkish Liras which is our currency unit. I mean u get the point :D I'm planning to add a sub later, that's why I want 1280DBs, at least they should be better than my 10 year old Logitech X230 :D
@ if adding an sub is in your future plans, go for the best speaker you can afford, which is the 1280DBs. Just dont get the T5, its a below avergae souding sub when I went to hear it. And the dealer told me at higher volumes the t5 has a rattling sound coming from the center cone. Save up and get a better sub like the Elac, polk or klipsch. I bought the Elac after listening to all, it was just way cleaner and musical. Any of the above is fine, just try to stay away from the T5. Any edifier speaker with a good sub will sound better than any logitech, even the z623, z625, z906, z2300 and z5500. Logitech is all about loud bass (not deep, they are crazy boosted at 60hz to give an impression that they are stronger than they are) and non existant mids and highs.
3 года назад
@@AbsoluteFidelity Yep, that's why I wanna buy a new speaker set, the highs and the mids are not enough and the bass is there but like you said, boomy and too much. Also that bass is unusable at nights because u can't turn it all the way down, also makes the whole system unusable because of that bass, if you lower the volume that basically makes it inaudible. I was looking for the Elac Sub1010 after I heard T5 has an aggressive auto turn-off feature and u can't switch that off. But then again, Elac is ridiculously expensive here, strangely though u can buy an SVS sub for it's price here :D So, I'm thinking about an SVS PB-1000 which is a very high-end powerful sub-woofer as u know.
Edifier R1700 a little bit harsh in high mids, too much mids and strange treble, sound more smooth and more bodied due to mid-focused and bass sound signature, but still harsh for ears long periods of time, R1280dbs more open and slightly thin but more balanced in all mids and highs, less harsh i think, if you have sensitivity on high mids or low treble.frequencies R1280dbs is the best warm speaker near-field, with sub for sure.
R1700BTs seems more to Low and Hi frequency instead of Mid frequency been minimally delivered. R1280DBs deliver Flat range of the Low and Mid frequency instead of Hi frequency been minimally delivered. For me, these 2 model is quite equal to T5 but for me who love to watch action sci fi movies and also with Jazz or electronic music, i rather choose R1700BTs because it seems can deliver like crystal clean sound from the Lo + Hi frequency that equally to make the Mid frequency in the middle range..
The timing of the bass sounds out with both speakers using the sub. Like the bass is lazy and half a step behind the rest of the music. It's really apparent with "The making of Thumbs Up".
Hello. Thank you for your spectacular video. I want to ask you how it is possible to connect the edifier R1280dbs to this subwoofer??. I just bought them and I'm thinking about adding the subwoofer. From before Best regards from Chile 🇨🇱
R1855DB for sure. The 1280 is just thin and doesnt get as loud as the 1855. And the 1855 has a wider soundstage than the 1700, without the harsh treble of the 1700. 1855 is the best choice here.
I have one more idea, because these below have similar price: Edifier T5 vs NS-SW50 Edifier T5 vs NS-SW100 NS-SW200, NS-SW200 Piano (i do not know the difference) NS-SW300 Is possible to compare, is possible hear difference at all, in the listening session???
@@Mr-Panchito88- я взял 1280, поюзал и понял, что не знаю больше колонок, где за эту цену впихнули бы больше качества. Т.е., Edifier выжимают максимум КПД из ситуации цена-качество.

Я примерно понимаю сегмент и задачи модели 1700, но нет, не верю что этот форм фактор справится с чем то большим, чем озвучивать ближнее поле в помещении не более 12 квадратов.

How does t5 sub perform low frequency and bass? Does it shake small room? Does it worth to buy? Any alternative at same budget?
Which set in Your opinion is better?
which amplifier you used to connect T5 sub with 1280Db? I have 1280DB and wants to buy this sub but don't know which Amp would be best.
T5 is a powered sub, it doesn't need any external amplifier. It has it's own.
Can't tell from the video but how deep does the t5 sub go?
Can you suggest different alternative subwoofer? Or can i use other brand of subwoofer?
3.5mm jack (subwoofer) to rca (e1280db) is ths how you setup?
If you can find b&w aws08 that's their best 8 inch sub
Which is better for rock music

please make a video comparing Edifier s1000mkii + T5 vs Edifier s1000mkii ... or with another model, thanks for your videos!
Is edifier t5 a good match to edifier s2000 mkiii or it is better to opt for other alternatives?
I just bought S2000MKIII. It doesn't have a sub out. You can't hook it directly. My initial research tells me that you need to buy other equipment (Pre-amp that can split signal to speaker and sub) to use with a sub. You will need to look at other models if you want to easily add a sub. Like for Edifier models such as1280DBs and R1700BTs, the "s" should mean it has sub out. Don't get the wrong model.
@@anderu0779 Doesn't the T5 has a low pass filter for this? Does not work as well?
@killboardTV Do you mean the bass knob on the T5? But as I said, you don't have a sub out from the S2000MKIII that you can connect directly to the T5. So the low pass filter knob is irrelevant until you can make a connection?
Of course another method is to use RCA to connect to the T5's RCA in and use the T5's RCA out (passthrough) to connect to the S2000MKIII but then I'm not sure if the audio will be good since you get overlapping bass from both the T5 and S2000MKIII. IIRC the reason to use pre-amp is to isolate the bass from the rest of the higher frequencies with the T5 only receiving low frequency audio and the speakers for the rest.
@@anderu0779 Thank you for the feedback. I suppose there is no other proper way of connecting an external subwoofer to s2000mkiii but a sub-out which is missing in this particular model. If you're supposed to get the most out of it, the RCA method doesn't meet this requirement, so I'd suggest using s2000 mkiii without any subwoofer which I would say they don't even need. I do have another dilemma, I've had topping e-30 lite connected to my edifiers, however, the sound upgrade seems to me rather minor. A friend of mine who is an experienced audiophile confirms the improvement of the sound, yet it is not that big for real. Perhaps, he suggests, it might be more visible with a more expensive model of the speakers. And what is more, I've noticed that the sound through Spdfi mode is a bit more voluminous and wider compared to rca and topping. So, I'd still stick to topping, but don't feel much of an improvement and maybe need more experience. Get me to know what you think.
the dbs+t5 for me ... dbs keeping nuetral/clear mid/high t5 doing the heavy woofer lifting seems balanced for me
Great vdo as usual! I see the T5 subwoofer costs another whooping 150 bucks. Is it worth investing this money? How much would that create a difference to the actual experience?
Bought the R1700bts because I wanted the T5 to be a part of the setup. And it's such an improvement to the experience. Mostly cause it lets the R1700BTs relax and not worry about hitting the deeper bass notes, it can focus on the mids and higher mids giving it more clarity.
Would say the T5 really adds life to the music you listen to or movie!

I'm using the R1855DB with my old Corsair SP2500 sub. Had to turn the bass on the Edifiers right down otherwise it just sounds too muddy. Sounds amazing now.
What is the difference between 1850 and 1855? Both are sold in my country. How much did you need to turn your bass down? Does the 1855 distort at max volume with the bass set at neutral and max? Thanks in advance for your reply!
@@AbsoluteFidelity The 1855 has a better remote and Bluetooth 5. Those are the only differences. The bass on these is good for their size, I just had to turn it down a bit when used with my sub. On their own they sound good with the bass and treble dials set to the middle/factory setting. No distortion.
@@drummerdude100 Does the 1855 distort at max volume? Im goin to pair them with an Elac 1010 sub

How did you connect the t5 to the 1280? Planning to buy a T5 hehe
R1280DBS have a sub out... 3.5mm to RCA (Red/White) my T5 is arriving friday!
Can you please show how to hook up the 1280DB to a Sub?
It needs to be the DBs. Those have a sub-out port.
Hi, how do I connect my Yamaha 8 inch (NS-SW050BL)
To my edifier R1280dbs?
what do DB, DBs, BT etc stand for
DB - digital inputs (coax, optical, bluetooth), DBs - same plus sub out, BT - Bluetooth only
Can you actually hear the cut of frecuency when you plug the sub??
on r1280dbs, yes
Is autosleep on T5 too aggressive? I've heard they turn off often
Yes, it is quite annoying
@@DSAUDIOreview what sub would you recommend me getting with my R1855DBs besides the T5? Within £200 budget. Been thinking Dayton Sub 1000 or Mackie CR8S
@@SaxeLAD I've heard the Polk PSW10E is good.
@@SaxeLAD I've had a Dayton Audio Sub 1000 for a while now and just got the R1700BTs speakers. I am in a very small space and unfortunately I'm unable to reference R1855DBs speakers. That said, I like the combo that I have.
Some info (if you're interested):
If I'm correct in assuming that a flat sound means barely any bass, then The Sub 1000 has more than enough output for the R1700BTs. Tuning for a bass-boosted sound, the Sub 1000 does well when matching it with the R1700BTs at max volume. If you want the bass to be significantly louder than the rest of the frequency range, I personally think that the Sub 1000 would be at its limit or not strong enough to match the R1700BTs at max volume.
If my tools are accurate (I measured roughly 4ft away from it), it can do 80/60hz at just below 105 dB. It rolls off though. 40hz goes down to 90 dB with 30hz being lower than that.
Trying to go louder with 80/60hz sine waves causes a strange effect that I'm not fully sure how to describe. It's like it hangs up then pulses instead of correctly replicating the sine wave.
@@luchvk Thanks!
What frequency on the subs with the 1820dbs?
U recommend adding a t5 to some krk 5 inches?
Nope. Look for something better if you want it to match the sound quality of your KRK monitors
Regradless how it sounds in this vid, the 1700 is superior in every way. In real life, the 1280 sounds thin and rolls off at the higher end of the spectrum much earlier than the 1700. 1700 has so much more headroom too.
That's probably the R1280DB, which is the regular version without the sub-out and some lacking specs, also the older one. R1280T and the newer R1280DBs sounds better and goes deeper, in real life even the 1280T which is a cheaper and more simple version, goes deeper than the 1280DB, this channel also has that comparison. But the newer R1280DBs has probably a different DSP or something, they can go down to 51 Hz and sound is rich unlike the regular DB ones (55 Hz says Edifier web page). Btw strangely the 1700BT also sounds richer than the 1700BTs version. Most likely a DSP issue like I said, since they have sub-outs, things get complicated there.
@ R1280T, R1280DB, R1280DBS, they do have a slight variation among them but none of them come close to the 1700, 1850 and 1855. All 1280s sound rolled off compared to its bigger brothers and will distort way quicker at same higher volumes. Headroom difference is huge, you just have to listen to it in real life. Just bought the 1855 after listening to the 1280 (DB and DBS), 1700 (BT and BTS), 1850, 1855 and 2000 side by side. Anyone that says there is no difference between the 1700 and 1855 or 1850 and 1855 have not truly heard them in real life. I wanted a speaker with sub out, so I tested all the speakers above and threw in the R2000DB just for fun. The 1855 was clearly the winner, and it sounded even better to my ears when compared to the R2000DB, besides the bass. That wasnt a problem as I intend to add a sub to it. Now Im waiting for my sub to arrive, but the 1855 is doing a pretty good job of covering my 6 x 7 meters living room.
@@AbsoluteFidelity R1855DB also does not exist here, we have R1850DB but damn it it's 280 USD here. We have some serious tax issues when it comes to imported electronics, that makes the so-called budget products like the Edifier speakers hugely expensive here :( Even the R1280DBs is 210 USD here but they are slightly cheaper compared to their brothers. 70 USD seems a tiny price difference but that's not, because 1 USD equals to 8 Turkish Liras which is our currency unit. I mean u get the point :D I'm planning to add a sub later, that's why I want 1280DBs, at least they should be better than my 10 year old Logitech X230 :D
@ if adding an sub is in your future plans, go for the best speaker you can afford, which is the 1280DBs. Just dont get the T5, its a below avergae souding sub when I went to hear it. And the dealer told me at higher volumes the t5 has a rattling sound coming from the center cone. Save up and get a better sub like the Elac, polk or klipsch. I bought the Elac after listening to all, it was just way cleaner and musical. Any of the above is fine, just try to stay away from the T5. Any edifier speaker with a good sub will sound better than any logitech, even the z623, z625, z906, z2300 and z5500. Logitech is all about loud bass (not deep, they are crazy boosted at 60hz to give an impression that they are stronger than they are) and non existant mids and highs.
@@AbsoluteFidelity Yep, that's why I wanna buy a new speaker set, the highs and the mids are not enough and the bass is there but like you said, boomy and too much. Also that bass is unusable at nights because u can't turn it all the way down, also makes the whole system unusable because of that bass, if you lower the volume that basically makes it inaudible. I was looking for the Elac Sub1010 after I heard T5 has an aggressive auto turn-off feature and u can't switch that off. But then again, Elac is ridiculously expensive here, strangely though u can buy an SVS sub for it's price here :D So, I'm thinking about an SVS PB-1000 which is a very high-end powerful sub-woofer as u know.
Edifier R1700 a little bit harsh in high mids, too much mids and strange treble, sound more smooth and more bodied due to mid-focused and bass sound signature, but still harsh for ears long periods of time, R1280dbs more open and slightly thin but more balanced in all mids and highs, less harsh i think, if you have sensitivity on high mids or low treble.frequencies R1280dbs is the best warm speaker near-field, with sub for sure.
It's the perfect thing when paired with the sub # R1280dbs
hola, puede ser que el Edifier r1280 dbs tenga un sonido mas profundo?

how can i connect T5 with my 1280DB?
R1700BTs seems more to Low and Hi frequency instead of Mid frequency been minimally delivered.
R1280DBs deliver Flat range of the Low and Mid frequency instead of Hi frequency been minimally delivered.
For me, these 2 model is quite equal to T5 but for me who love to watch action sci fi movies and also with Jazz or electronic music, i rather choose R1700BTs because it seems can deliver like crystal clean sound from the Lo + Hi frequency that equally to make the Mid frequency in the middle range..

The timing of the bass sounds out with both speakers using the sub. Like the bass is lazy and half a step behind the rest of the music. It's really apparent with "The making of Thumbs Up".

Se o sub T5 da edifier estivesse ligado na edifier D12 seria muito melhor em todos os quesitos.
1280 have more highs than 1700, i think?
Yes, they're bright at default settings. That's why I have treble on -2.
for small parties at home with electronic music, pop and hip hop, which is the best? r1280bts, r1700bts or r1855? I have a sub pioneer 8 inchs
R1855DB for sure. The 1280 is just thin and doesnt get as loud as the 1855. And the 1855 has a wider soundstage than the 1700, without the harsh treble of the 1700. 1855 is the best choice here.

Both speakers are way undersized to be used with a subwoofer. At this price point, they sound better standalone.
Not with a good budget sub. Any speaker will benefit from a sub unless it can already play down to 20hz.

из ситуации цена-качество. IMHO: наверное всё же лучше взять их трёхполосники, если бюджет до серии Эйрпульс не дотягивает.
Я примерно понимаю сегмент и задачи модели 1700, но нет, не верю что этот форм фактор справится с чем то большим, чем озвучивать ближнее поле в помещении не более 12 квадратов. Они пытаются сделать мощную "мелочь", но даже в ютубовских прослушках слышно, как трёхполосники (даже в бюджетной реализации) ненатужно играют эту самую середину.
