I bought myself a pair of these Edifier S3000 Pro's last week. After 7 days of intensive listening to them I can only say that every word Zeos has said about these is true. Probably even more than true. You can not convey in a 24 minute video what these speakers really sound like and what they are really capable of. I spent 2 months reading reviews and watching comparison video's and specs on the internet. Looked at all candidates in the price range of up to $2000 but in the end these Edifier S3000 Pro were my choice. I'll be using them for personal music listening enjoyment as well as mixing and mastering audio recordings. Thank you ZEOS for the amazing work you do. I am very grateful to you.

[@John_van_Kleef]

@@user85937 I wish I could think of a way to convince you that I wrote what I wrote out of enthusiasm. Nobody asked me to write this reply, nobody pays me to write anything (I wish they did!). I'd invite you to my home to come, see and listen to the speakers at my place. It is however my guess that you live in the United States, and I live in The Netherlands (Europe). But don't take my word for it, just buy them from Amazon and if you don't like what you hear, just return them and buy something else. But if you do like them as much as I do, please come back here and let me know! Best wishes, Jan.

[@Vayshen]

@@John_van_Kleef As someone in the Netherlands, if it wasn't for this damn pandemic I'd probably take you up on this. Although I'm eyeing the S2000's as I don't need the wireless connection and could use the savings made from that choice, I imagine they're somewhat similar.

[@John_van_Kleef]

@@Vayshen The S3000's are not just about bluetooth wireless connection. As a matter of fact, I don't use that feature at all. it's about the ribbon tweeter and the DSP controlled cross-overs. The S3000 is the only monitor this size that does NOT require a subwoofer. Officially specified as going down as low as 38 Hz, it is my experience that they go a hell of a lot lower. Soundstage and imaging are sublime too. Much better than on the S200's. I mix and master on them for professional productions. You should really come and listen to them before you make a definite decision on the S2000's.

[@blobeyeordie]

@@Vayshen The S2000mkiii's are essentially the S3000 pros not so little brother. I splurged and purchased both the see what they were about and compared/contrasted them to swans mk200s, Klipsch, some jbls and Kali's Ive owned and the Edifiers are truly phenomenal. I ended up returning the S3000pros because I didnt feel the performance to cost ratio to the S2000mkiiis was justified. Unless you really need wireless of course. As far as bass performance is concerned they are quite surprising for a 5 1/2 driver, alarmingly so much so that I ended up putting away my beloved B&W 608 sub. I honestly feel as tho adding a sub with these just does the speakers a disservice. These have some of if not the the best articulated, fast and extended low end(dipping ever so slightly into the 20's even) Ive heard for the 400$ dollar point, even compared to some other higher end passive loud speakers nearing the 1k mark. I would even consider these over a dedicated amp/dac system, in fact I just may consider selling some of my gear because of these. Im gushing at this point but these are truly remarkable speakers, to which I was not expecting. I know people swear by a scalable/modular system, but these could be all you need, for listening and possibly monitoring. Many shun powered speakers, but Edifier is doing something incredible with these, considering they use what looks like high end quality drivers and their electronics aswell. Especially the DSP, which I feel just blows even high quality passive crossovers away. You will not regret the S2000mkiii's if you get them, needless to say

[@jwfpeters85]

@@Vayshen beste, heb ze beide gehad en de s2000mk3 is super goed maar de S3000pro zijn toch wel een stapje beter hoor meer power krachtiger geluid de grotere driver doet een hoop. Ook hebben beide speakers een eigen versterker en dat hoor je..... kan je wat meer missen neem dan de s3000 pro. De wireless verbinding tussen speakers vind ik niks maar je merkt er helemaal niks van het werkt perfect!!!

[@riaadhoosain]

After a ton of research and watching reviews on here and Reddit, i watched your review and bit the bullet on these. I tried them in 3 different room settings (Study - on my desk, Lounge - alongside the TV on their dedicated S3000 Stands, and finally in my bedroom where I think they sound unbelievable. Once they are properly positioned and on stands and have enough room to breathe, these are arguably the best sounding speakers I've ever heard. I wholeheartedly agree with your feelings about these speakers, they truly are phenomenal and punch way above their price. The timing, depth and soundstage and not to mention the high end of those Planar tweeters are fantastic. I'm loving every minute of them.

Ohhh how I have been waiting for this review

[@vanderslagmulders]

I had no idea the speakers could talk to eachother wirelessly, thanks for pointing that out! Even when knowing this, it’s difficult to find this in the specs on the websites of the retailers that sell them. Clearly an underappreciated feature. I now get why the Dynaudio Xeos were stopped 😀👍

[@TrantaLocked]

This company shot into my view out of no where. I finally bought my first pair of actual speakers, the 1280DBs, and I love them. The build materials and input features at the price points for this company is unreal.

[@dariussala6377]

Do some eq adjustments and play with the sliders. Since I've received them from my dad, I stayed with then on neutral but a couple of days ago I played with the eq and they sound more spacious so give it a try

[@ptan1088]

Yes, same here. I bought the 1280DBs and added the T5 sub from day 1 on the strength of all the reviews we've heard and hasn't regretted it in the 2 weeks since. It doesn't et as loud as my 5.1.2 Atmos system in the hall but my God it has changed the way we listen to and appreciate music, TV and movies. Thank you Edifier for pricing it so affordably. It has no reason to be this good but it is. I'm even thinking of selling my Monitor Audio/Onkyo system which cost more than 10x as much. Thanks Z for the always wonderful, detailed and entertaining reviews that helped me decide. Now, I am really intrigued by the S2000 and S3000 - they sound like phenomenal speakers. Too bad, the pro audio shops are shunning Edifier and we can't get to listen to them before buying in Singapore!

Just got a pair of S3000 Pros delivered today. Z was not kidding. I am freakin dumbfounded, this coming from JBL 580’s and dual 10 inch subs. My brain still cannot reconcile the sound coming from these little boxes. I’ll write more once my brain calibrates.

@@sofiacucci7494 I actually ordered and compared them both directly. Short version: Edifier S3000 Pro’s win by a mile. Swans got sent back. The m300’s are veiled and don’t extend as deep or as cleanly as the edfiers. The edifiers are crystal clear sounding and just incredible to listen to. I liked them so much i bought my sister the S2000 pros by edifier and my mom the S2000mkiii. I would take either of those over the swans if i was on a budget. I honestly don’t understand how Z recommends the swans, they just aren’t very “hifi” speakers.

Vandersteen and Pass Labs formed my reference system for years, alternating with a tube setup centered around Cary Audio / Dennis Had SETs. I've had open baffle speakers, omnis, 4-ways down to overachiever bookshelves like Totem Mani2. That was my 'career' and in my 'retirement' I shopped for a 'fishing boat'. Backtrack to 2003 on a temporary job assignment to Shanghai and needed something better for the serviced apartment. I went to the local computer mall looking for a 2.1 system like Logitech or Bose computer speakers... as I walked past this mall stand, I heard an undeniable midrange neutrality that promised to sound good on any recording. The highs were smooth and extended and the bass was surprisingly deep and mud-free. A quick inspection showed a sealed subwoofer box instead of the usual ported designs in this genre. An 8in sealed sub, 4in mids and 0.75in tweeters all with amplification at 100W, 10W, 10W respectively. That was my first contact with Edifier. The price was a shock at

[@jtancmuedu]

Edifier was founded by audio enthusiasts from what I understand. The founders and key engineers were quite active on Chinese audiophile and DIY speaker/amplifier building forums in the early-2000s when I was trying to find out more about the company. It's nice to see that their price point still beats what a capable engineer with DIY skills can make. These are an amazing value that can only happen because of the production volume and component pricing, that someone as large as Edifier can do, using their vertically integrated manufacturing.

[@ashim_dey]

Hello, thanks for your comment here. I just got a pair of these and very impressed with the sound quality. I have 2 doubts. I can hardly hear any difference between the sound modes like dynamic, classic etc. Secondly, I am not sure if the small display at the front bottom of the main speaker is supposed to show the name of the sound mode like dynamic classic etc. Mine doesn't and I am not sure whether there is anything wrong with the speakers. Your inputs will be highly appreciated. TIA.

Thanks you for granting my request. Again Z, your passion about speakers and reviewing them gives us the right decision to purchase them. I got them right away after watching your review. Ohhh man can't stop listening to them. The low's / bass resonates in sub-sonic frequencies in different level. So amazing. Plus half the money, if you buy Elac Navis or KEF LS50. Quality construction throughout and looks high class. Truly wireless as there is no wire between left and right speakers and never had a single instance of wireless transmission dropout nor sound deterioration. Sound quality is lively and entertaining so it is not very neutral but it is great fun. Bass quality is simply amazing, tight and gob-smacking as I had not expected this in a sub £1K speakers (I live in London). Top end is energetic but never shrieky or piercing. All in all super value at under £600 (got it at £589 speakers only). Use this as a rear speaker of my Samsung N650 Sound beam (tru an optical splitter) and the combination is phenomenal / deadly / amazing, etc. WOOOOWWWWWW. Thank you Z, you're the best!!!

I use the Focal Alpha 65s together with the Audient iD14 as my Studio Monitor Setup. This is the best setup for the money I think. I also have worked with Dynaudio, Adams, Genelecs and other brands. Now I wanted have some good Loudspeakers for my living room. Since I m used to quiet neutral sound I was thinking about using Studio Monitors with SMSL DO100 DAC for TV and Bluetooth connection. But Studio monitors have a pretty small sweet spot. So I was going away from that idea. Then I looked into Nubert, Klipsch the Fives, Elac and so on until I found these. I think this is the best speaker for the money with that kind of connectivity and all in one solution. It sounds really amazing and even reviews and nothing negative to say. For other brands there where always problems or work arounds which I didnt want. I couldn't be happier with a speaker for Music listening and TV watching.

[@giladbar8710]

Thanks z man .

[@tz7813]

I’ve owned mine for 3 years now and use them for music and movies. Zero problems. For that use I just put them in Dynamic. They sound much more lively and airy at the top and still have good bass. Mine are on stands. Sitting 3.5 meters away in a 40 square meter room with vaulted ceilings they read 85db at only 60% volume so way powerful enough for most duties. I might add an SVS 3000micro sub in the future to release them from driving to frequencies below 80Hz but that would only be icing on the cake. It’s not vital. They already sound good enough. I’m European, but live in Asia. In EU the price is around 600-700 Euros? Over here the price is just RIDICULOUS at 380 EUROS a pair!!!! The only annoying thing with the MK1 is that you can’t tell what volume they are at easily when using the remote control as they don’t have a visual display showing the volume level from 1 to 50? You have to turn them down to zero using the remote, then count the blinks on the front LED as you slowly increase volume. I think the MK2 uses an app to control EQ/DSP/volume, so a big improvement in functionality over the MK1. If they had a sub out and bass management in the app you might as well forget about KEF LS50II’s. They are 4-500% more expensive without the expensive KEF stands! Edifier might rule the world if they did the decent thing and brought out a MK3 with those added features! If I wanted an amazing system today in 2024 for music and 2.1 movies that will blow anything out of the water worth 3000 + Euros I’d go for the S3000PRO MK2’s and also the brand new WIIM Ultra wireless DAC. It has sub out with bass management AND ROOM CORRECTION! Amazing functionality with their app and constant improvements with regular updates. All that for 350 Euros!!!! Add an SVS 1000Pro sub and you have a whole wireless system for around 1600 Euros. You just won’t find better until you start spending multiple thousands. Highly recommend.👍

The only thing I wish Edifier did is a light wood and white combo. That way if you have light furniture it matches better. I have a cheaper pair of Edifiers in a lighter colour way and they are great. Very good value for money speakers. In Aus they are far cheaper than in the US.

[@tucka222]

Thank you Z for the review. These speakers soud even better then I've expected. I was able to buy them for 460eur, thats apporx 550USD. For that price these speakers are bargain.

[@KapucciMane]

where did you buy em from?

[@jamesk7433]

I had a chance to test these really quick, it came with 1 tweeter not working so had to return it. From what I heard, the tweeter that was working sounded disconnected to the woofer. Something seemed to be missing in the midrange area. I could be wrong though.

[@LeDechaine]

Didn't even knew planar tweeters existed!

[@lolzifer]

In Taiwan they can be found for less than 650$. BUT I DON'T NEED THEM, STOP TEMPTING ME, FUUUUUUUU

[@renovatio6971]

You need to try this one, got them and I can't stop listening with it. Pay attention what Z mentioned here. You don't need a sub-woofer; the bass resonates in a sub-sonic frequency. You can put it all around the house since it doesn't need to connect to each other. I was planning to get KEF LS50 but I got this instead. It out performs everything all that Z mentioned earlier for less money. It has a built-in USB DAC so when you connect it to a laptop or desktop or mac, the sound is amazing.

@@renovatio6971 what about nearfild? They are good?

[@renovatio6971]

@@pedrogoncalves2948, i've been trying them in anyway i can and I have no disappointments. Because they are not required to connect each other, you have more flexibilty and of course you just need to power them up. I tried them in my bathroom (6x8) when I have my 1 hr bubble bath, just extend the pwer wires outside my door. Low volume mode with the bass and treble full and play bass boasted MTV in youtube tru my phone via bluetooth. The sound is amazing, very tight bass bouncing off my walls. Wow.. even change to mediation music and still very clear mids and highs. Even great when watching movies too.

[@Schwa83]

Recently bought these but read something that concerns me. Since the left speaker connects wirelessly via Kleernet, and Kleernet can stream up to 16/44.1, does that mean these speakers cannot produce audio in any higher quality than CD? I.E. streaming from Qobuz at 24/192 for example. Would love a solid answer on this but can't seem to find one.

[@ezwider4652]

I'd love to buy these after watching your review, but I'm buying these to use in my office / man cave and will put them on a desk or table which also has my computer on it. I watched your review of the S2000 Pro and Swan MKIII. Are one of those two still the best choices in the $400 range? I just can't justify getting these for the $800. I want to connect from my PC sound card using an optical input so I think the Swan's are out. Thanks

I just realized that was a picture of Spike and Swordfish II above the TV!!!! lol Oh, and the speakers sound ok too. :) Would you recommend these to someone wanting good speakers to play music (Nightwish, Metallica, Techno) through in a small room (9x12) and to play guitar along with while getting good bass sound? Or would I be better served with like the 1200DB, 1800DB, or 1000 Pro? And I will be running them through an Audioengine D1 DAC via my PC.

Sonos doesn’t belong in these forums. That’s for the Bose boys. Get a Edifier R2000 DB and you’ll be super happy with the clarity of the sound. Bass is decent for small rooms.

The S3000 MKII are out! Are we getting a review?

[@fontsRealisticSliders-fifa]

I bought the s3000pro a few weeks ago with stands, and very happy with them! I also have the r2000db, which sounds great for the price. In comparison, the s3000pro sounds more detailed at all frequencies, and surprisingly they sound very balanced between high, medium and low. (The R2000db have more pronounced bass,, without being more or better, and weak mediums). I usually listen to them in Dynamic, and they sound spectacularly good. Rammstein or Arctic Monkeys guitars and drums sound INCREDIBLE. Michael Jackson, Daft Punk, The Weeknd ... sound very crisp with stunning bass. Acoustics and Jazz music sound like live, if you close your eyes it seems that they are playing for you. Bad recordings will not sound very good but the same with any speaker in the world; But the ones that have to sound good sound better than you can expect.

[@shashanktripathi960]

No way do the R2000DB have "more pronounced bass" than S3000Pro, which has nearly twice the wattage and goes way deeper.

[@fontsRealisticSliders-fifa]

@@shashanktripathi960 I mean "more pronounced bass" compared itself with the other freq, but NO more or better bass than the s3000 pro. Yeah, the s3000pro has more power, bass, and also is more detailed.

[@shashanktripathi960]

@@fontsRealisticSliders-fifa thanks, very helpful info. I'm evaluating the S3000 against the iconic LS50. The latter has much better looks, although S3000 seems to be a sweeter newer package too. Any experience comparing these two?

[@fontsRealisticSliders-fifa]

@@shashanktripathi960 I have not compared them face to face. They are very different, the Kef's are passive (you need more equipment) and have a very modern-cool design. The Edifier are active, with a lot of inputs and cutting-edge technology, with a classic design. The s3000pro sound great just out of the box. There is a comparison on youtube of an Airpulse a200 vs Kef x300, and I liked more the sound of the Airpulse (the person who reviewed says that Airpulse sounds very on par with the s3000 pro). The KEF would be much more expensive with extra equipment. With the s3000pro you would be acquiring the top model of the brand. The KEF ls50 are almost at the lowest range, but it is obviously a very reputable brand with many years back.
