Edifier R1700BT vs Edifier R2000DB || Sound Demo

[@pictaker]

The best channel for testing speakers!!

[@ravenstylea2]

Just ordered the R2000 DB. Thanks 🙏 for making these videos for everyone. 😊

[@CaptainPrice01]

I have both of these speakers. I use the r1700bt for my computer and the r2000db for my TV. Both suit the purpose I use them for. The r1700bt is more personal close up. It lacks deep bass, but is can have strong bass when you turn up the dial. The r2000db is replacing a 5.1 home theatre in a box, and these Edifiers have such sound stage that are better then the Samsung 5.1 system. the R2000DB really thumps with the bass when the dial is turned up to the point I don't miss a subwoofer. They have rich, crystal clear sound that I haven't heard in a long time. I don't regret buying any of these and they are fantastic. You cannot go wrong with Edifier.

[@zeep6195]

Hi, I'd like to hear your opinion on my concern. Do you think the R2000db can replace a cheap-mid level home theater system (let's say for the same price)?

[@CaptainPrice01]

@@zeep6195 What you get with the R2000db with full rich sound that's well balanced with some tweaking options. They are very enjoyable for watching movies and tv shows and doubles up for listening to music via bluetooth. You won't get fancy features like Dolby Atmos or 5.1/7.1 channels, but I usually find that those things are just gimmicks and come at the expense of sound quality (except when it comes to expensive home theatre systems). I don't think you would ever find a home theatre system that sounds as good for the same price.

[@samghosh8486]

I have both R1700BT and 2000DB. Both placed in different rooms though. I felt the soundstage of R1700BT to be better than 2000DB. R1700BT is more open and airy and its soundstage is very wide. But it lacs the punch that R2000DB produces. R2000DB goes lower and the rumbles of base can be felt on your body. Both are excellent speakers. However, the signatures are completely different.

[@Mark-OutWest]

And the 2000's are essentially double the watts.

[@stevenbauer1730]

I very much appreciate these videos- they are very helpful. I would have liked to hear a track with vocals though. The sound quality and clarity of the vocals is one of the most important factors influencing my decision as to which speaker to purchase.

[@jonakenb1700]

Agree

[@Truth_Hurts528]

Thanks so much for this. So few clips of speakers playing decent instrumental music to help judge the quality of speakers. Instead just bass heavy techno and rap.

[@thaifold]

In my country (Hungary) the R2000DB cost 3x more then the R1700BT The sound different is not 3 times better. Im very contented with the R1700BT.

[@s1Lence_au]

Wow, quite a big difference with the 2000 coming out on top by a long shot. 1700 is still really good for such a low price though, amazing how affordable quality speakers are nowadays.

Great video. However could I suggest you have a piece of music to demo vocals. Especially female as it would give a little idea of the speakers mid tonal range.

[@mhnoni]

Yep, these kinds of demo are useless without a female vocal, you can't judge a speaker based on instrument since we have no idea how the instrument sound in real life.

I have an offer for r1700 and r2000db at almost same price . Little confused which one to take. Or should I straight go for s1000db?

[@midorihibiki]

Well to my ear the R1700BT sounds like flat and neutral than R2000DB. R2000DB looks like a darker speaker but with fuller sound and has more resonance. Do not know if I use the correct words here lol. Thanks for the comparison. Will purchase a pair of R1700BT in the next couple of weeks.

[@AsgardsGlory]

no its absolutely reverse. R2000DB - natural and 1700(1800-1850) is to much HiFreq.

[@carlosfedericolopezspindol3103]

I'm with you, it depends on the ears that are hearing. I like so much more the flat neutral sound for the R1700BT, for a desktop is best ideal maybe complemented with a subwoofer.

[@midorihibiki]

@@carlosfedericolopezspindol3103 Ha ha. I did purchased Edifier R1700BT and a Sennheiser HD650. To my ears now HD650 blows away R1700BT. I found out that these speakers are a little harsh, bright so I turned the high volume knot down a bit. Also these speakers has soundstage but it lacks a soul, deep, full sound. It's okey for a budget 2.0 desktop speakers for my computer.

[@张嘉炜]

@@midorihibiki I agree that the treble of headphones can be better. So is the bass of headphones stronger than this 4-inch speaker? Or is it just an improvement in bass quality, not stronger?

[@midorihibiki]

@@张嘉炜 Here is my experience. The bass on these Edifier models does have strong bass. But the texture of the bass, or it can not go lower deeper. The bass on my HD650 has more texture, can boomer if the record or the amp drive it. If you want more quality bass, look for the higher Edifier models. Some high end headphones can produce strong bass as and as quality as big speakers for example like Abyss 1266-Audezee LCD-4 or Sony MDR-Z1r.

[@PaxHominibusBonaeVoluntatis]

The r1700 are reproducing detailed sound with more clarity while r2000 are relaxing and in my opinion better for TV and long term listening. Great video! Cheers!

[@a4andrei]

What you get for more money (R2000DB): - Larger tweeter and mid-range driver - Alloy mid-range driver instead of paper - Ability to switch them on and off from the remote - More power (almost double the watts) - Design (although I'm not a fan of glossy things that can scratch) The R1700DB are not available in my country at the moment but I'll get R2000DB and decide if they're worth it *Update* Got the R2000DB. They look nice. The sound on the other hand seems a bit harsh and the bass boomy (even in classic mode). I don't know how much the bass will improve but the harshness could be because they need breaking in. The bass reflex port is located on the back which is a bit inconvenient since I have them on a desk. May get the R1700BT once they become available.

[@DSAUDIOreview]

Thanks for the follow up! If You find R2000DB harsh than R1700BT is even harsher in default settings. Check the controls on the back of R2000DB if treble is not boosted. My pair of R2000DB came completely fresh as well and I found them rather dull sounding out of the box...

[@laptech3767]

[@JerryWDaviscom]

Violins - R1700; Hard Rock - R2k sounds straining in low end; Jazz - R1700 more balance. Has to be a function of that smaller bass driver; yep, R2k sounds boxy and loose, but lower bass notes.

[@kunxv15]

agree, R1700BT sound more open. maybe because r2000db is meant to be listened at more far distance? since it is bigger

[@blammm88]

I just gotten the R2000DB for 3 weeks now for near field use. For the first few days i was kinda disappointed as the low end were to boomy and kinda bleeds into the mids. After a few days I started using the remote and realise there's two eq mode "Dynamic" and "Classic". I hit the classic eq and wow now I was loving it. The bass did not bleed into the mids and it didn't sound boomy. It felt more natural. I would suggest using it in Classic EQ mode if using for nearfield and use dynamic if the speakers are far or using for tv setup. The highs is just a lil bright for me to be honest but I read one user was messing with an EQ in the 100Hz to 1kHz range and I tried it myself using EqualizerAPO with just a lil 3 db bump in that range and boy it sounded perfect. For the price i've gotten these I think i have under paid for these.

[@larrysynak]

I bought the 1700's (one model down) a couple of weeks ago and am very happy with them. Actually thinking now about returning them and upgrading to the r2000 but not sure if the extra $100 is worth the improve or not. Certainly cannot tell from this utube posting at all.

[@blammm88]

@@larrysynak Before I had my R2000DB. I have actually managed to audition the R1280DB R1850DB and the R2000DB. R1850DB being similar close to R1700BT I can tell you that the only noticeble difference is the low end presence being and a tad on the bright side for me for the R2000DB. But for my case the pricing difference between the two was $20 as i had it on a time limited sale for $135usd. But $100 difference I would wouldn't recommend upgrading. Prolly go with amp and passive speaker setup instead.

[@larrysynak]

@@blammm88 Thanks for the quick reply. I'm running the 1700's through a Audioengine d1 dac at this very moment and of course the sound is very impressive. So good that I had wondered how much better the 2000's would be. With $325 invested now not sure if that extra $100 for the 2000's was going to be worth pulling the trigger on but you seemed to help me make the decision to the negative. I think the 1700 has adequate bass and outstanding mid range vocals. My hope was that the 2000's might provide even better mids and much cleaner cymbals at the high end as well as a bit more "presence"/separation of instruments. Lar.

[@DSAUDIOreview]

@Larrysynak there will be no difference in midrange and treble quality between R1700 and R2000. The only difference is the bass, and even here it is nothing groundbreaking. Stick with R1700 and save up for S2000Pro ;)

[@larrysynak]

@@@DSAUDIOreview I appreciate the advice. I likely will not spend the extra $100 for what may be a minimal gain in quality from the r2000 then. My 1700's put a real smile on my face now and I'm wondering how to utilize their potential to the fullest. A bit off topic but would you suggest an upgrade in the rca cables beyond the supplied? Or would cables not be a factor at this lower end of price spectrum. Thank you in advance for all of your help.

[@marining2841]

I don't know which one is better. But I do believe, you get what you pay for. That is how everything going.

[@dgrouche1676]

Great work on these videos. I was considering both of these but they would be going in a nook where my tv sits would it be better to have the forward port or rear port. What will happen to the rear ports r2000db in that location?

[@kohnfutner9637]

For the price difference I might take the 1700. The 2000 might be a little too boomy in the lower mid-range. But the 2000 definitely more full sounding. Sounds the same Tweeter is used. The 1700 sounds a shade too bright but the 2000 sounds a shade too boomy and muffled.

[@karl5043]

I suspect that the bass on the 2000 were negatively impacted by being too close to the wall. They are back ported which requires some space between the wall and the speaker, whereas the 1700 is front ported so can better handle being up against a wall.

[@LoekTheKing]

@@karl5043 Do you recommend getting the 2000 over the 1700?

[@ARieLvsCutTaRi]

conclusion r2000db vs 1700bt vs 1280bt r2000db vs 1700bt from what i heard, but very subjective, maybe because my headphone and connection.. everybody says that r1700bt more clear, maybe because it has more high sound, but for me, sounds very thin. r2000db feels solid and weight, fuller, thicker and deeper dimension. for r1280bt, we know that it has more high than r1700bt, maybe thats why it sounds more open than r2000db, but still... very thin and narrow. for me, r2000db is clearly the winner.

You do not have to go to dynamic mode to make it sound more lively as it is enough to boost the treble a bit using tone controls, making it sound very similar to R1700BT in upper ranges. In dynamic mode the bass of R2000DB is overrepresented and a bit boomy.

​@@Spookspek I didn't mention, this setup is just for one year - when I move I will spend about 2000 Eur on a receiver and passive speaker system. I know, but Echo should provide some kind of Atmos sound with its 5 speakers and just the convenience of having it all in one device, including Alexa. Again, no real stereo separation and there should be some difference but not drastic between them. Later I found videos comparing more expensive Pioneer and Yamaha bookshelves vs HomePod and yes, the speakers were better but not that much... As your main drivers, yes, choose these over any, and I mean ANY mono smart or BT speaker but the difference is not night and day compared to the best smart speakers out there...

Hello i have Edifier R1700BT and i'm so happy listen jazz on them I'm planing buy Edifier R2000DB in Black Friday do you think its will be big difference and it worth ? Note just any way i need buy another speaker for some another room in my home :)

[@DSAUDIOreview]

If You like R1700BT than You will for sure like R2000DB even more, it is an improvement especially in "Classic Mode". R2000DB is similar in overall sound quality to R1700BT with added bass extension, better build quality and more features.

+Jack Iryev under 200, my top picks are Edifier R1700BT/R1800BT and Presonus Eris E4.5. Under 300, it would be JBL LSR305 and Edifier R2000DB.

Firstly I would like to say thank you so much for all these videos. I have done lots of research and your channel was a huge huge help. I'm in abit of a dilemma now. Choosing r1700bt vs r2000. They're about 50 bucks difference (1700 = 75usd, 2000 = 125usd) cuz I'm importing directly from China. Are the 2000 worth paying almost 66% more? I'm going to use them to replace my desktop speakers so I'll be sitting very close to them on the table less than half a metre away. For this set up what would be the best?

Thanks so much Sam for the reply.

I agree with what you said Sam, they are indeed very different and I do think the extra loudiness and bass could lead someone to feel they are better, but to a trained ear louder is not better. They are both excellent speakers as you say Sam. Thanks again for the demo and the reply. Cheers T

[@danvalleskey]

Not sure I see much value in comparing sound quality when listening with the speakers I intend to replace.

I think the 1700's sound better. Clearer and cleaner with more audible mid/treble.

[@MrMalandrino100]

I bought 1700bt about a year ago and I am very satisfied, apart of course the lack of some frequencies due to the small size of the speaker. I would like to upgrade to R2000DB, I have no space and these would be the most I can put. The big doubt is that the 1700s have the reflex in the front while the 2000s in the rear, the speakers are positioned at the corners of the room, could it create problems with sound and rumble? I wouldn't want to get lost in sound rendering.

R2000DB has plenty of bass for a non 2.1 system. First late night with them. I have a small apartment < 900 sqft. I had to turn the bass all the way down 2 clicks from the bottom. Volume 15 on win10 sound control. Stock powerup volume on the R2000db. Meaning when you turn the R2000DB on, it comes on a pre-defined volume probably 50%.

C2XD needs more power, it is in the edge of sound to say it sound power... but the bass are good, the same for the 1700bt, bass are good too, in both. I hear that the 1700bt sound better with Bluetooth than the RCA input. The Edifier 1700bt, suena muy bien, los graves en estereo se notan, tiene potencia y el bluetooth está bueno. Los C2XD suenan también muy bien, pero no tienen mucha potencia, suenan medio bajo en volumen, lo bueno es que tienen entrada óptica S/PDI-F. Los C2XD necesitan más potencia, están en el límite de potencia para decir que suenan bien, con lo justo. Los graves suenan bien, solo que con el volumen justo. Los graves son muy buenos en los 2 modelos. Con los Edifier 1700bt escucho que suenan mejor por bluetooth que a través de las entradas RCA.

Thank you very much for the review and comparison. I need acoustics for PC. I'm fond of streaming, so you'll soon need an external sound card, as well as a microphone. Has stopped the choice due to your tests on R1700BT. I'll most likely choose the Focusrite Scarlett Solo, then a microphone with headphones. Can you give your recommendations on the sound card? Once again Thank you very much, you helped me a lot with the choice of acoustics! I am from Belarus.

I have owned both Lexicon Alpha and Behringer UMC22, and both are great devices for much less than Focusrite, so get either of them instead of Focusrite IMO. I do not know much about microphones, so I will hold my opinion here...

I suppose the 1280T has the best value for those who can´t or DON`T WANT TO spend more money. But those who DO might as well get the R2000DB over the R1700BT. If you complain about money when comparing both you should really think of getting a 1280T instead.

The R2000DB sound muddier to me

[@IamTheAntiMartyr]

The bass port on the R2000DB is on the back of the speaker as opposed to the front facing bass port on the R1700BT. Those speakers are too close to the wall. The muddiness you are hearing is the bass being muddied by poor placement with the R2000DB. I have neither speakers, but I'd be willing to bet that the R2000DB would sound great on stands, 1 and 1/2 to 3 feet away from the wall.

[@kmillard81]

TinyApocalypse did you buy these and find your statement to be true? I just got 1700 and love them esp in mid and high clarity. This video makes me think the 2000 lose that clarity but maybe it’s placement like you said.

[@Артур-т8ю4у]

Потому что микрофон находится ниже уровня ВЧ динамиков, учитывая наклон. У 1700х твиттеры как раз направлены в микрофон, а у 2000х - они выше.

[@ave649]

R2000DB was made for bass heads who can't hear high fidelity music due to hearing loss from ridiculously loud night clubs, high bass head phones, and especially loud earphones and blasting car stereos. Damage to ears is a slow, largely noticeable process. All speakers will sound much better when connected to a subwoofer , movies will sound great. Preferring one speaker over another because of its bass is bad logic. Whats important is high and mid range. Then get a subwoofer for low bass frequency.
