These are pretty awesome! I've been looking at Edifier products for a while now. This model was a surprise - addition of Bluetooth 5.0 and sub-out was only in higher models, but now it's in the budget models.
The price was just right during Christmas holidays so I went for it.
I like:
- remote control to turn speakers on / off
- light that shows which line the speaker is on
- super seamless pairing for Bluetooth
- switching between the incoming channels
- great sound for a small room. The bass is not super deep, but enough to get play hip-hop (I might buy the woofer later)
- design is great and materials are premium
- on sale its an amazing deal!
I don't like:
- the speakers have specific side assigned (one is left and one is right). It would be nice if you could reverse the sides so you could place the speakers with the controls closer to you. Reversing the line-in cables works, but for Bluetooth it's still in the wrong order.
- would be nice to have the optical line-in
- these need sturdier / metal grills - my nephews will poke at these speakers within 5 seconds of seeing them. The grills are material based do the fingers will just go through them and will damage the speakers.
- I would reverse the colors on the remote (black text on white background) or make them brighter so you could see the buttons better in the dark
- skinnier connector cable between the two speakers?
