Review: Bang for the buck speakers! - Great speakers. Nice sound stage. Mids, highs and bass are good. And there are knobs which you can adjust. Treble and bass. Overall love the speakers!!
Review: I changed my office around and got a 49" Samsung Odyssey G9 monitor that has an audio out so my HDMI from my PS4 and DVI from my laptop could split the sound out to one audio. I spent hours reviewing Bose, Edifier, JBL, Sony, and a ton of knock-offs in between. I finally settled on these weighty bricks and I am so glad I did! They sound amazing! I have some passive Bose shelf speakers and the Bose Soundlink BT speaker and these speakers blow them out of the water! SETUP: The speaker's ship with a 3.5mm to RCA audio pigtail cable that I immediately plugged into the 3.5mm audio out on the gaming monitor and straight into the L/R RCA ports on the speaker (marked PC in). I was testing both the PS4 and the PC audio within 1 minute of unboxing. I then went on to hit the "Bluetooth" button on the remote and noticed the flashing blue light and immediately connected my Android phone over BT. Played a favorite YouTube Music playlist and walked 40 feet to my kitchen and advanced the playlist and adjusted the volume without any issues. SOUND: I am not an audiophile by any means but I play acoustic guitar and often record some of my own music, so there, I know something about what "good" sounds like :-). I threw on my favorite "relaxing acoustic guitar music" while I was working, between calls today, and cranked these babies to the max! NO DISTORTION! The bass was rich and booming, the eagle eye tweeters could really carry the crisp, brightness of the mid and high tones! I was shocked considering how inexpensive these speakers were! QUALITY: The hefty weight and aesthetic finish on these speakers make me feel like I bought something in the $600 price range. They are so well made, have great contrast between the faux wood grain and the matte black finish and I love that they angle up and away from the desk to carry the sound spatially around my desk area. Very premium quality! SUMMARY: All in all, I love these speakers and I have been trying all sorts of sound effects through them, and vocals, guitars, and even gaming have the right pickup and decay with the built-in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and Dynamic Range Control (DRC) to avoid distortion. You want to hear what they really can do, listen to "Stringscapes" by Alan Gogall on "eleven" (some unabashed Spinal Tap humour) :-)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How is this product different  (inferior?) to the much more expensive R2000db model?**
A: The R2000DB has two obvious features that help produce a superior sound as compared to the R1700BT. 
1) a 5" main speaker (woofer) as compared to the 4" speaker found on the 1700. 
Yes it's only an inch larger but with small speakers an additional 1" is large bump up. (Just as a 3 inch speaker would be a huge step down!). The inch increase brings a substantial increase in deeper base and more room filling sound. It will also offer higher quality music reproduction at a higher/louder volume with better separation of midrange sounds. So you can play it louder than the 1700 before any real notice of compromising sound quality. 
2) The R2000 has a considerably larger amplifier. 120 RMS as compared to the 1700's 66 RMS. This supplies the power needed to push that 5" speaker and provide quality sound. I personally feel the amplifier size is more important than speaker size. Don't be fooled by underpowered "Powered" speakers.  
There are additional benefits of the 2000 covered by another answer. Size, range of the BT, and plug in options are all better and bigger with the 2000. I've chosen to speak to the 2 options that make the biggest contribution to better sound when comparing the two.

**Q: are these good enough without a dedicated powered subwoofer?**
A: These speakers are really just glorified computer speakers!!  There's even a designated input just for your PC, that's why they're only $99!!  And they only have 4" driver/woofers.  These were not designed to be so called a 'theater 5.1 Dolby surround sound system'! I'm not saying that they are not good speakers but a lot of people don't understand that when you are spending $99 on a pair of speakers that have Bluetooth built in and it actually has a designated RCA input labeled 'PC'!  And the reviews that I've read about them not being that loud and I read one about how it was louder hooking it up to your computer than it was when you had it hooked up to your TV!!!!  First of all I'm going to guarantee that these are consumer rated at  -10dB for the line input, which means that they are not going to perform like professional +4dB line level speakers!  When hooking them to your TV, I don't know exactly what you did but you also have to make sure that you go into the settings on your TV and find your audio out settings and change it from the built-in speakers to 'line out' or external speakers, or whatever your TV labels it as, because if your signal doesn't know where to go or how it should react when it gets there, it's probably the reason that it sounds louder coming from your PC because the speaker inputs are built and rated to match the rating of the computer outputs and they are most likely both rated at -10dB which is a consumer rating!  If you're looking for a theatre system performance .....  you're going to have to spend more than $99!!!

**Q: Can i have the speakers stay plugged into my tv, and then use my phone or laptop to bluetooth audio to the speakers?**
A: Yes! You chose line input for TV and Bluetooth For laptop or cell phone.

**Q: does this work with alexa**
A: It will work with Echo Dot, or any Echo device with a headphone output jack.

*by A***R on 25 August 2018*

I may not be a sound engineer but trust me I know how I like my music to sound. I have multiple sound systems ranging from the likes of high end discrete Onkyo and Yamaha Aventage Dolby Atmos Home Theatre systems to Bose LifeStyle to Vacuum Tube Stereo Setups paired with some of the best speakers like Focal Chorus 836W, Paradigm, KEF, JBL, Definite Technology , Jamo, Pure Acoustics and Bose 901 that one can lay his hands on. All these setups have been solution-ed with the sole objective of hearing the best possible sound for the occasion. Of course these setups cannot be compared to a pair of measly computer speakers in this case the Edifier R1700BT Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers - Active Near-field Studio Monitors - Powered Speakers 2.0 Given the time that one spends on the machine of choice, one cannot be wrapped in some BT or wired headphones all the time. Hence the use case for a suitable set of sound drivers to fill up the time in the hot seat - be it the office or home - laptop, desktop or your a DIY beast of a gaming rig sitting pretty with all those synced up RGBs. I am sure that there would be a whole lot of fancy names one could pick from and I too had my fair share trying out Bose, Harman Kardon, Logitech, Creative, etc. desktop decoratives besides BT jumping from Google Home Max, Apple Home Pod and Amazon Echo Plus. However, my frustration kept growing as I was not able to get that right fit for my daily driver rig. A few days back I came across reviews of various Edifier options ranging from the fancy looking Luna E e235 to some others around 5K. To cut a long story short, after reading up some reviews, comparisons and YouTube content, I settled for the Edifier R1700BT Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers - Active Near-field Studio Monitors - Powered Speakers 2.0 Something just told me to go for them and they did check off all my boxes for being compact, having BT and 3.5 mm / RCA inputs and sufficiently powered for a 2.0 setup. Basic necessities for survival :-) The order was delivered in less than 12 hours. Many thanks to Amazon for that. :-) :-) :-) Unboxing (nicely seal packed in the original factory box) done, I was able to breeze through the setup of the simplistic contraption in 5 minutes flat. Powered on and hit the play button on my favourite VLC playlist. The 1700BT redeemed itself with flying colors as I sequenced from one track to the next. First of all I was really satisfied with the sound that filled the room - rich and sweet across the range and different genres. Some may say that the bass is a little boomy - I may agree a tad but it certainly wasn't muddy or cloudy. Mids and highs were great.... crystal clear and the best part was the realistic sound stage created. Enabling the equalizer and fine tuning the frequency controls produced just the sound I was looking for. Crank up the volume and the benign and laid back looking boxes (maybe due to their practical 10 degree backward slope design) start flexing their muscles without breaking a sweat. Boy! they do really get loud - not that ear shattering cracked up sound but a powerful harmonious wave punching it's way across the house like a heavyweight boxer. The remote is a huge boon - tiny but extremely functional. The build quality of the speakers is classy and subtle. I strongly recommend this set of speakers for your desktop, laptop or that gaming beast with a very definitive statement - Sweet natural sound - Best value for money that delivers for any occasion that your computing session may challenge it with.
