Edifier S1000MKII vs Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX

I've been really impressed with the Edifier s1000 mkii, extremely practical and well rounded speakers for the price, the fidelity and detail leaves very little to be desired. I have also not heard a bad word about the 1850s and 1700s which apparently are better suited for near field listening and probably more suited to your budget.

Klipsch ProMedia 2.1s. Really solid sound and build quality, THX certified, and almost always on sale *somewhere*.

They look nice. They are heavy as hell, and seem solid. But the materials aren’t amazing. The wood is an excellent fake

Their curvature also prevents the use of traditional bookshelf speaker brackets.] I noticed that as I eased up the volume, those mids got richer and highs became quite a bit sharper. That's great for entertaining, cleaning, and puttering around the house, but far too loud to work comfortably. Fiddling with the woofer-to-speaker balance, I was able to push mids/highs in a way that provided a better overall sound quality with only a small amount of bass sacrifice

** You want consumer-oriented powered speakers, that have connections and controls that are suited for use with consumer equipment. If you can go up to the $300ish range, I would suggest looking at the nicer Edifier models—maybe the S1000mkII if you can find it locally, or maybe something in the R1850 or R2000 series. If you can find any speakers made by Swan, they also have some well-liked options. FYI, **most of the speakers you listed are NOT studio monitors

But as far as this set goes I'll give it a 4 star, because I do not like having to get up and turn the sound up, man they need a remote I didn't think about that when I bought these for my G.daughter and another con is why isn't there a on - off switch??? I have it hooked up to a surge protector but that turns everything off so I have to un-plug them when I leave the room, I don't watch TV back there everyday but if I did which then maybe I wouldn't. I think I will wait till the warranty goes out and will open up the Sub and install a off-on switch that should be in there. I find thou that I can adjust the volume some what thru the TV when I set the volume on the speaker control to about 60 percent and use the remote to adjust some which works for me right now, but I'm looking into getting my electronic friend to help me fix a remote for the speakers their self, like he said he could do something that will work, I guess 45 years doing what he does for a living pays off for me maybe

These guys aren't tiny, but they produce great sounds that fills a small living room nicely. Probably best about them is that they don't require a receiver and can be added to your TV, computer, or record player. The Bluetooth features work way better than expected and produce rich and clear sound from a phone or laptop. My only gripe there is that there isn't much security on the speakers, so really anyone could use it if it's turned on

Bluetooth quality sounds great to me (as good as Bluetooth can sound, which is actually not better than using the 3.5mm)

Adam T5V/T8V) but OP has specifically separated them from consumer speakers like the Edifier. I also separate them because of aesthetics: studio monitors do sound really good, but they don't look that good on a living room. :). I do think the Edifier s2000 Pro / MKIII are really good for the price

Still, it would have been nice to have more rounded edges like the SoundSticks III (which you shouldn't buy, I'll explain in a minute). P.S. don't forget to apply the rubber feet included in the box to the bottom of the sub, otherwise it will shake on the floor and sound weird

Big Heavy box! Double boxed! WELL DONE EDIFIER!!!!! Info: Male, 24 years old, Asian American.

The old units subwoofer would literally shake the doors on the dresser it was sitting next to in my room with the volume set less than halfway. This new unit with the volume for the subwoofer completely maxed is ridiculously quiet. Now to be fair the sound is super crisp and as you increase the master volume the subwoofer does give off a more powerful sound but unfortunately for those who want nice full sounding bass at lower volumes are not going to get the result they desire. I saw an older review here that mentioned they thought the unit they received was a knock off and honestly if I was basing my judgement solely off the sound I’d be inclined to agree that it’s similar but not quite the same as my previous unit

You'd need 2-2.5x your budget for a speaker with really good bass and that's with the Edifier S1000MKII or S1000DB model. With max 200$, I speculate that any smaller speakers like your Megaboom 3 will disappoint bass-wise. Bigger hardware and within-budget Monster SuperStar could be good

I also noticed that the bass with the klipsch was working as if in a seperate level from any music being played. With T4 any music being played sounded harmonically. If you prefer nonstop booming than get the Klipsch Promedia or the Logitech Z623, but try out the Creative T4. They might be in the same class as the bose companion speakers but with better bass

Positive reviews are generally accurate. I was looking for more base and treble control than these speakers offer.

The tweeters are soft dome style, and "clean but not harsh" is a perfect description for the treble. They're driven on Class AB amps so there's no hiss, and they stay clean with no distortion at high volumes. Klipsch makes a $150 set of computer speakers (Promedia 2.1) that would fit your budget, a 2

It lives up to that rating. I use it only with Bluetooth and my iPad or iPhone. I have it about seven feet high, on top of a wide cabinet in the living room and control it with the little remote control. It’s important to remember that it can only connect to one source at a time, and it doesn’t automatically disconnect, so if you connect it to your iPhone, then find you can’t connect with your iPad, go back to your iPhone and disconnect that first

I bought 3 sets ofthese Xbox mini-heatsinks , and applied them to the hotspot. It barely even gets warm to the touch now.
