" ... The sound is clean, the highs are crisp, and you do not need a sub woofer. ... "
" ... Very enjoyable soundstage overall for a bookshelf speaker. ... "
" ... Wow do these sound good! ... I love good audio and have a collection of speakers in my home theater room (Mainly Polk's). ... I must say for music listening these are the best speakers I have listened too. ... I only used Bluetooth once with apt x and while it sounded good, I will not be wasting the sound quality of these speakers by playing through Bluetooth. ... Optical will generate the best sound out of these and I will not settle for less than the best these can produce. ... Music listening on these puppy's is where they truly shine. ... "
" ... Sound has superb clarity, even when volume is dialed back. ... I listen to a mix of classical and jazz, and you can hear all the details so important to such artists. ... "
" ... I was looking for a solution for the tinny sound one of my TVs makes. ... The sound of these speakers solved my problem with the tv sound. ... They certainly expanded the sound frequency range of what my tv was producing. ... "
" ... I love listening to music with these. ... "
" ... They sound great and look good and they are heavy and well built. ... "

" ... The sound is clean, the highs are crisp, and you do not need a sub woofer. ... "
" ... Good range and mix of highs and lows. ... "
" ... Bass in particular is getting better as time moves on. ... "
" ... (25 foot are available) The bass is surprising like I had read and you definitely do not need to add another speaker for that purpose. ... "
" ... Music is crisp and clear with the bass sounding great without being over powering like a 2.1 setup and movies is just WOW. ... "
" ... The bass is self explanatory in other posts. ... "
" ... Deep, resonant base, sweet clear highs, delicious mid range. ... "
" ... The bass is deeper and the sound is fuller but I'm not convinced they are better or "audiophile" grade as advertised. ... I am pretty sure I could beat the sound of these with an amp and speakers for $350 if I searched. ... "

" ... The BT continues to work on these lower cost Edifier speakers. ... however, they are a good value for what they offer at about 40% of the S1000's cost. ... "
" ... What a deal! ... "
" ... Especially good for the price. ... "
" ... I think for the price, we are 2-$300 cheaper for a speaker that produces the same sound stage in the computer speaker category. ... "
" ... It is a small price to pay. ... "
" ... I'm giving a 5 star rating because I hate negative ratings but I probably should have rated 3 or 4 based on the price vs sound. ... "
" ... The engineers at Edifier have done a tremendous job in producing the highest quality sound from a package this size, at this price. ... "
" ... They aren't going to blow you out of the room the way my Klipsch can, but at this price point and size they are an excellent value. ... "
