s nothing fancy it s just a bog-standard cardboard box
The tactile feel from the buttons is terrible and the range is not great
s the inability to control the volume of the speakers directly from my phone
R1700BT comes in a very plain retail box
it s really a cheap afterthought
ungainly bassline thumping away almost comically
the speaker does seem to be a little short on the connectivity front
does not have other settings such as optical input and stereo-to mono switch
the hustle of grabbing your headphones and being restricted to one location
bookshelf speakers for 150 dollar without an amp built in
speakers nowadays sound like a fart through a plastic can
Small speakers usually lack an even spread of treble and middle
the speakers are not very loud
the brand recognition of Edifier is not established
like Bluetooth connectivity will be lacking
matter if you are playing ballad or smashing pumpkins sound
the sharp corners on the volume controls are a bit overwhelming
awkward bass line thumping away roughly comically
control is made of plastic and feels cheap
it would have delivered a shaky sound towards the back of the speaker
R1700BT is a little too bulky
Bit lacking in bass
and sound thin in large spaces
Sound quality is dependent on room size
No USB input (Bluetooth only for PC use)
Speaker connector cable is too long
The treble can sometimes feel a little too dominant
speakers never tend to annoy with a shrill high tone or the
in hi-fi circles
brand new speakers are usually rather pushy and sometimes harsh
these bookshelf speakers are not deep bass monsters
crossover frequency is not in the particularly critical range
it made the shape a bit awkward
not blend into the room and be too loud for a small space
Too small speakers might not be enough to fill the room with sound
there s a bit of a learning curve
the sound can be shrill in the high range or flat in the low range
lows somewhat overpowering in movies and the high range sound a touch
speakers kind of surprisingly heavy at almost 15 pounds for the pair
it a bit difficult to carry them from room to room as a pair
it s not super easy or evident how you get
branded outer Edifier box which was quite boring
mains powered speakers are small they pack some serious punch
a bit too focused and a bit too dominant
