DSAUDIO.review || Edifier MR4 vs iLoud Micro Monitor || sound.DEMO

[@qqow327]

iLoud Micro has better bass extension. Long Night shows up a big level difference around 49hz (G note) for example. It would be much more satisfying when using MR4s with a sub. There is a significant dip at 3k on MR4. Be aware of that if you’re gonna use MR4s as studio monitors. Therefore, calibration or simple EQing would be recommended in case of monitoring. MR4 has good clarity. It has relatively excessive air(>10k), not necessarily a bad thing though. Imo high frequencies are smoother than some other Edifers.

[@rome5689]

I am currently using iloud micro, it does sound a little bit muddy at times but can listen long hours without fatigue. MR4 do sound clearer to me, but may cause fatigue due to high treble.

[@techeteri]

I have mr4 and the treble is not harsh, not fatiguing (like E3.5 is), but not exactly smooth either. You can listen for long hours, but not all night. For that I much prefer my trusty maudio av40.

[@How_do_we_know]

U have both ? 😮

[@TING_WU]

can you do one which compares the Adam D3v and I loud and the MR4?

[@allesdurchprobiert]

I listened to this over a 20 year old 150€ 5.1 Sub/sat set from Teufel. My first layman opinion: Surprisingly similar. The micro might be a bit darker, the mr4 a bit brighter. Both sounded very nice (given the size and price). I'd go for the micro for size (as desktop pc speakers) and slightly more pronounced lows, or the mr4 for the price and slightly more precise lows(?). Personally, I guess I'll get the mr4 due to the price.

[@HeadBassVTEC]

if they cost the same I would get the iLoud as well as they are more compact and better sized for pc speakers

[@allesdurchprobiert]

I still didn't buy, but in the meantime I decided to definitely spend ~200€ (compared to 100€ for the mr4 new) on used iLouds. Basically just for the obvious differences: size on desk, bi-amped, bluetooth, lows. However, I still think the mr4 are a great alternative, especially for half the price of used iLouds.

[@OmniZen8118]

Note that the left & right channels of both pairs of speakers here have been reversed, with the result that natural 3D stereo imaging & realism is lost during music playback and both pairs of speakers are not really sounding at their best. The speaker having volume, bass & treble controls and input/power indicator is known as the active speaker. This is the right channel speaker and should be positioned on the right, while the other speaker without similar controls and indicator is the passive speaker which plays the the left channel and should therefore be positioned on the left. It is absolutely vital to ensure correct placement of left and right speakers to enjoy your music or movies. Otherwise you'll find the car whizzing by on the left of your TV monitor screen, while the sound effect is coming from the right speaker. If you own any pair of stereo speakers you should always verify their correct placement by playing back left/right stereo channel test videos available on KZbin.

Edifier MR4 vs Eris 4.5 ? wich the best ...........

[@chetanaacharya7406]

Edifier MR4

[@gameon2000]

Edifier are better (and way cheaper), but even at the same price they still better than iLoud (and I loved iloud until now, that I've heard Edifier MR4). I mean ANY Edifier are better than Eris, Mackie CR, Alesis Elevate or Behringer monitors are utter crap! Even the $30-$50 entry level Edifier R980T are better! Then iLoud, then Genelec or Neumann. Any other brand is not worth the money (Adam KRK etc.)

[@Nocturnal_Dysphoria]

Can you do the comparison from iloud micro vs edifier s1000mkii ? The iloud micro now costs $350usd and the S1000mkii can be bought at $350 with discounts frequently.

[@user-gourmet]

Listening with high quality DAC/Amp and Sennheiser HD600, It is very difficult to distinguish them. Edifier MR4 is just slightly brighter in the treble.

[@Jason75913]

MR4 seem to be brighter and a bit more colored. Might be a bigger difference in person. Big difference in price, though.

[@gameon2000]

same here - iLoud (which I actually love so much, I set them on my wish list) now dethroned by the 3x cheaper MR4 (I am now listening tonthis comparison in my trusty Philips shp9500 reference monitors, that are known for their extremely flat, neutral, airy sound with high treble - that means if something still sounds muddy, it is really bad and the formerly sparkly, crispy and full sounding iLoud now sound really muddy in comparison to the flat, yet punchy, clear neutral MR4 - simply incredible! 😮)

do you think the mr4 are better than eris 4.5 ? for subass for example.

[@amanieux]

my edifier 4.5 had tweeter hiss like my jbl 305 does, i don't see why mr4 would not hiss, it seems to be the case with all affordable studio monitors due to cheap class D amp that are inside (kali lp6 v2 being the exception)

[@lment333]

Just my 2 cents but that is a problem if your are using them for mixing. It's absolutely awesome for regular content consumption. I keep forgetting this distinction and have to remind myself what I intend to use the speakers for.

[@18CC]

edifier should do a better bass reflex. I like both. But i stick with my micro.

[@BillGalactichero]

Well, that's why you should avoid buying toy speakers like ILoud MM or smallest Genelec in any case except you really need a travel solution. All that WOW OMG SOUNDS BIGGER THAN ITS SIZE basically means that you can get a sound of a cheap but right made 4" "normal" monitors which, again, are half-toy as well. I'd mention JBL 104 in a toy speaker row if it was toy-sized, but it's size is about normal 5", only sound is toyish :D MR4 are surprisingly good tho; colored but nicely EQable and low end does sound "normal" already

​@@shogun5436 Hello! So, I'm not sure if there is an adaptation of these two standards. I've never done it, but I believe it doesn't work, because the cell phone input is L+R, not TRS. I believe it should be TRS to TRS to get real performance. Friendly hug! (Google Translate)

[@JuanSanchez-go6zm]

Hi, bro. After testing my new Edifier MR4, I hear a very slight noise that comes only from the tweeters of each speaker, it is like white noise or interference and it increases when the volume of the monitors is turned up. The sound does not come from the other connected devices, since the noise is heard even when I only have the monitors connected, without plugging anything else. I have also tried it with several current outlets and the sound persists. My question is, is this noise normal? For what is this? Is it normal or the one I have was faulty? THANK YOU

[@ChrisBessy]

if you turn ON the speakers with zero cable on the speakers and you have a hisssss noize, check on the internet if it is amplifier class D ..... lot's of speakers today are class D because it's low energy. sory my bad english lol. At home i have 3 speakers class AB with zero hiss noize. When i tried for example the Kali LP6, it's class D and i had the hiss noise. Some speakers class D have little hiss noise, other have more hiss noise.

[@comarcalabrea]

Hi from Brazil! Ainda tem a MR4? Acabei de comprar e estou gostando muito. Não notei nenhum chiado como o que descreveu. Recomendo usar cabos P10 balanceados (TRS input). Estou usando assim e os cabos balanceados usam 3 vias (negative, positive and ground), isso ajuda remover qualquer ruído. Um abraço! Coloca aí no Google Translator.

[@VladK-1]

My iLoud Micro Monitors (also Class D amp) have a quite significant hiss/white noise from tweeters (barely audible at 1 meter away during night) no matter the input source or volume level (though it's getting even more pronounced when volume is increased, thankfully I can feed it from my headphones amp with a very clean signal and keep the monitors at the min volume level). With Bluetooth input iLoud Micro Monitors are hissing way more and barely usable as near field monitors IMO.

[@VAKK3R]

I had the same issue some time ago. The problem was my wifi router was too close to the speakers and caused noise and interference at higher volumes. There are several threads on reddit about this. Move your WiFi router to another location. To check if you have the same problem, set your speakers to maximum volume and turn off the Internet. If the noise disappears, you have the same problem as me.

[@beverpix]

Two good speakers that sound quite the same. I think the ILoud is a touch stronger in mid-highs with a nice open sound, though this could lead to sharp edges on wind instruments and voices. The MR4s are a bit stronger in the lows. This makes a rockband stand out more, gives it body. The score is about the same, but on different qualities.

[@guihamelYT]

Honestly, hearing the really small difference between them, then looking at their selling price, the 200$ price makes the MR4 almost a defacto winner.
