I assume S3000pro vs Swans M300 is coming soon. Channel is great. You have my sub!

[@christophedecavalla2941]

A lot of comments seem to suggest that the JBLs are closer to the original sound source. I beg to differ. I’m not an audiophile or sure of the terminology but there are subtleties in the original tracks that are missing in the JBLs and clearly audible in the Edifiers. Yes the treble seems overwhelming in the S3000 which gives the impression that midrange is lacking. However, since treble can be adjusted, this should be easily rectified. On the other hand, the 306s May seem better balanced but lack richness or smoothness and I would predict become tiring after extended listening. I think the quality of drivers used by Edifier are in a different league when heard through a pair of good headphones. But I agree some adjustment needs to be made to improve midrange/treble output. I’ve ordered a pair of S3000 PROs and will be able to confirm whether I am right or wrong soon enough.

[@JoshyLats]

Exactly. S3000pro's drivers make others sound like trash. But these s3000pro's are in "monitor" mode which takes the bass out and provides a lot of instrument separation for precise mixing. 306p may be more natural sounding or closer to the source , but s3000pro even clarifies the source and magnifies fine details and reveals a lot.

[@JoshyLats]

Did you receive your s3000pro?

[@christophedecavalla2941]

JoshyLats yes I did. And as expected, sound great. It did take the woofers a couple of hours to loosen up and the sound just kept getting smoother. The S3000pro sound much better balanced in real life and the treble sounds extended rather than dominant as perceived in the recording. Really pleased with the sound. Unfortunately Bluetooth stopped working and they are on their way back to seller and apparently will be replaced. So I hope reliability won’t be a long term issue. Plus I’ll have to go through the process of breaking them in again. But as far as performance goes, they are fantastic and I’m impatiently waiting for their return.

[@JoshyLats]

@@christophedecavalla2941 oooooh that's great to hear. Yeah I've been looking for the perfect sounding 👌 pair of speakers / subwoofers to buy for over a year. How difficult can it be to get loud, full frequency, clear sound 🔊 lol 😁. Looked at pretty much everything and it seems these s3000pro and swans m300 or m3a / m5a are better sounding than anything else. Because they get the most advanced drivers and then DSP correct them (no passive crossovers) so that what reaches your 👂 ears is perfectly clear. Edifier and Swans have been working with woofers that extend low for a long time. This 6.5" driver is "more than sufficient to provide deep bass notes" and designed to be more dynamic for home theatre use. However all reviewers haven't used it in "dynamic" mode (except zeos and 1 other forum reviewer). That means the bass and one designed advantage of this speaker 🔊 has been taken away. But at least we can hear a lot of other details.... So, what did you think of the DSP modes and bass/treble adjustments? Was there a sweet spot for the tweeter or could you walk around the room? And a subwoofer isn't required?

[@christophedecavalla2941]

JoshyLats zero need for subwoofer. I have the speakers on stands about 60cm from the wall and about 3m apart. The listening area is about 3m in front of the speaker and with those distances the bass is phenomenal. Yes, I set it to dynamic and have left bass and treble flat. As you move around bass will diminish in certain areas but depth/soundstage remain really pleasant. Paid $700au for them and at that price I doubt you can do better. I haven’t heard the m300 so couldn’t tell you about them but they are actually more expensive to obtain here and have heard mixed reviews about them particularly in the area of poor after sales support.

[@gullibleskeptic3237]

i have the s3000 pro for a while and love them. i mostly listen in monitor or vocal preset. vocal is great for live performances imo. i dialed down the bass by 3 db and treble is on default. i treated my livingroom with accoustic foam otherwise the treble could get overwhelming. the bass is really tight and controlled and overall i think they're pretty amazing.

[@SNAFFUcwalk]

Where and what did you buy the foam from if I ma ask?

[@hosainrashed8129]

I am also a proud owner of these(s3000pro). Without being critical, I enjoy playing them everyday. They are allrounders. Hands down. Very few speakers can play metal songs even close to them. These are gentle giants.

Hi DS ! I'm following your video and i must say that you do great great great review thank you so much ! I have a big struggle right now, i'm actually looking to buy a set of bookshelf and i'm freakin hesitate between the Edifier S3000pro and the Edifier A300. The most important difference for me is that the A300 got a subwoofer output. I listen mostly to 90's hip-hop and a little bit of rock nu-metal but mostly old school hip-hop on bluetooth with Spotify(ultra quality quite not loseless but fine for me). So here's 2 questions : witch set would you take first and is it possible to pair a wireless or wired subwoofer to the S3000pro in any ways ?

[@fukukatahashi4760]

Edifier for sure

[@sizif717]

JBL way closer to the source track, both tonally and as a timbre. Edifier has their typical bright and forward sound signature one can hear from all their speakers, not bad at all for Hi-FI, with defined bass and boosted highs. Those extended highs give the impression of "more details" in the comparison. On the other side - the JBL sound signature is flatter and a bit vail ( but as it is on the source track), but not exactly "boxy" I would say. It is just the comparison with the overly bright an open Edifier that gives that impression.

[@ancientalien815]

I mainly noticed the 400-1k 5 db dip on the edifier. Thats what makes it sound so clean. That and the 10k bump.

[@mrholmesly]

I tried this EQ setting (400 to 1k, -5 db dip ) in my car's quadrophonic sys. and on my PC rig and it works really well! The records are much clearer, I can put it way louder, it's more pleasent to listen to and I can still talk over it. Thanks!

[@techtt6213]

I own the Edifier's and its amazing what these can do, they do sound better than the JBL's in some ways. Make sure you are in a good room because the high can be a bit sharp when you have a very lively room. In some ways I am comparing these to my LS50 Wireless, which says a lot. I do find that they have a lot of port noise compared to the LS50 Wireless tho

JBL's are fine but boring, Edyes on the other had, are just crazy good and alive. If this is how the chinese will play in the market, watch out LS50 coz you ain't got much for double or triple the price.

[@doakwolf]

In some tracks, yeah, but in others (i.e. the first track we heard) I found the treble balance perfect from the S3000 and the JBLs sounded flat to the point where the drummer's high hats were lost in the mix (to my ears, listening through my setup, that is). I'd love to know if the S3000s were run in 'Dynamic' DSP mode which (according to Z Reviews) really tames that tweeter quite nicely. Shame I can't have a demo of these where I live!

Wow the first eleven seconds of this one was as informative as any of these have ever been, holy schnikies. The Edifiers shocked me with how crisp and toe-tappy they were compared to the source track, and then the JBL's just sounded G-d freaking awful in comparison. Severely over-emphasized lower mids, complete with that reedy, flangy after-palate that mid-bloated speakers always seem to do so well. My good gracious what an easy contest.

Every review of the Edifier says they are amazing. I guess side by side the stories become more complicated than people living with them on their own.. But having said that, they kive with other speakers too.. So basically the review of the Edifiers is that they are just incredible sounding speakers with no umbilical connecting wire meaning zero complications experimenting with stereo images in unlimited settings which is a major factor in having fun with your speakers and music.(power extensions are not that much of a hassle as audio wire)..There is also no HDMI Arc and there is no streaming board but I don't think thst matters to me.

[@yttean98]

The desktop spkrs are sounding very good nowadays for the prices they charge, less than US$800 per pair for JBL and less than $400 for Edifier, they are bargains for the Edifier. The prices incl all the electronics built-into the spkrs.

For the average Joe, the Edifier will be the best choice 90% of the time due to inputs and a more music oriented frequency response. JBL excels at portraying an accurate reproduction which most of the time will sound "dull" or "boring" for the casual listener (It does for me) but it is a much needed characteristic for mixing. TL:DR: Casual listening: Edifier. Mixing and sound applications: JBL

Obviously JBL are flat more natural sounding, however Edifier is for fun and colorful listening pleasure. You get more control on Edifier to set the tone of the speaker to you liking also come with more connections to treat this as your soundbar alternative.

Thank you so much and i wish you take the time to answer it ! If anyone read my comments feel free to answer too !

[@DSAUDIOreview]

Hi! Between A300 and S3000Pro I would pick S3000Pro as it is more musical and forgiving to the source material. A300 lean too much on sterile and dry side of neutral to me and does not sound as fun and engaging in comparison. Regarding subwoofer connectivity, there is no way I know to connect it with either A300 (there is no subwoofer output on A300) nor S3000Pro and be able to stream music via Bluetooth directly to the speakers and sub. For that you need external source of signal and split the signal between the speakers and the subwoofer (external bluetooth reciever or DAC for example). The good news is that S3000Pro has great bass capabilities and can reach to low 30hz with ease, so in my opinion it does not need subwoofer for music listening at all, even the bass heavy stuff. Cheers!

[@DSAUDIOreview]

out of AirPulse lineup only A100 has subwoofer output and if you really want to cennect speakers with subwoofer than combo of A100 + subwoofer would be better than either A300 and S3000Pro without sub. Actually that will be my "reference system" soon, AirPulse A100 connected with my SVS SB12NSD ;)

I dont have tested the two set but as i can read the overall music quality should be better whit the S3000pro (i think that set also play louder too). My budget is already extended for a 1039$ set (im in Quebec, Canada). So am i right to think that way ? Set to set, the S3000pro will be more complete, more equiped in term of technology and more polyvalent for the price ?

I used them on desk for few days and they worked very well, better than most nearfield monitors I tested. One of the best things about them is that they have no hiss at all, they are totally silent on their own. They are quite big though, so you will need some space to accomodate them

[@shehratmuzib6612]

Edifier is shouty in upper register. Not warm sounding. It is deal breaker. Because, tweeter and woofer does not match.

[@Tealc2323]

After the first few seconds from each pair, I jumped straight to the graph. Here I have my answer. In the beginning, I was wondering why the S3000Pro has so much air and details in the highs. Is that tweeter so amazing? Well, no. More highs and the whole presentation being more laid back especially in the mids compared to 306P, makes a big impact in the audible high frequencies. P.S. I'm sure some will not understand the above: -I'm not saying the S3000Pro tweeter is bad!- I take it back... I don't like the tweeter. The tonality is way off. :( If both are set to the same volume of audible vocal levels, the S3000Pro will have considerably boosted highs compared to 306P.

[@DSAUDIOreview]

Yep, the tonal balance between midrange and treble is skewed towards treble, JBL feels more neutral in this regard. But the balance is one thing and the quality is other and S3000Pro has higher quality of midrange, more lush and detailed and similar can be said about the treble. Also the tonal balance between the mids and treble can be improved via treble control

[@Tealc2323]

@@DSAUDIOreview Maybe it can be improved with the treble control. An AvB video showing that would be useful. Since I never heard S3000Pro I can only judge what I hear in the video. The vocals are edgy and sibilant compared to the original track.

[@DSAUDIOreview]

I will see about the video presenting the DSP modes and tone controls impact. I have very limited time to work on the channel lately, so I can not promise anything

edifier is better in frequency response and audio decoding

[@regularsense]

Have listened the video in m50x and from jbl305p. Conclusion: Edifier without equalization is a piece of junk. But you should consider that monitors like jbl 306p are noisy. Not critical but can be disspapointing for someone.

[@olegozon9818]

Не знаю, чем тут восторгаются в звучании S3000pro, но на мой взгляд 306p просто не оставляют конкуренту шансов, если взять во внимание цену, то и подавно. Edifier имеет просветленное и окрашенное звучание, что сразу становится заметным при сравнении с оригинальным треком. Может кому то такое звучание нравится, но сводить на них я бы не стал.

[@Sam-vm5uf]

Bit surprise with S300Pro. To me it wasn't as good as expected. Well, it has a clean, cultural sound however when it come to Metal Head, it is too clean to be enjoyable. Hard to say it is better than 306P unless I can compare to be side by side. But for the extra $$.. I am not too sure.

[@IamKing-qv4ix]

Had the edifier and returned them for the jbl. The edifiers had really good bass and could get loud. The jbl simply had better quality sound. The edifiers are Bluetooth though,.... Well 1 speaker is because the 2nd speaker has to be plugged into the 1st to even work. The jbl are not bt at all. The jbl come in three different versions with the 8's having some serious bass. The edifier came with a dildo size remote that had to be pointed directly at the speakers to work. In a nutshell it like beats vs bose, bose(jbl) sounds better beats are more bassier (don't think that's a word)

[@Charles_Milles_Manson]

I agree a have S3000 Pro and in conclusion even in monitor mode, totally disbalanced speakers for me. Too more hi freqs. And also i listen in store jbl 308 personally, they sounds mush better and balance.

[@martyn_g]

Current pricing in 2021 in Australia, the JBL's are $899, the Edifiers are $799. Sure ebay drops the JBL's to $599, but at the moment, you cant buy "three pairs" for the price of the Edifiers. Also, if a person has nothing, he/she has to buy a preamp/Dac to connect the JBL's to control the volume. The Edifiers are all-in-one, so, once you add that preamp, you're back up to, or past the price of the Edfiers.

Snares sound like trash on the 306p. Bass seems turned down on the Edifier.

[@dschinn6748]

It's set to neutral. Everyone is setting to "dynamic" after unboxing. The neutral "Monitor" setting is supposed to be like this. People don't understand. Edifier has plenty room down the frequency scale to give more bass to it.
