Here in Malaysia where I live, The Five costs 4 times the price of Edifier s1000 mk11.....yes...we have the cheapest Edifier's price list in the world...No brainer there on what to choose .

[@Panslapper]

The sound difference is marginally better with the Klips primarily through the better inspections of instruments but value for money and sheer versitality then the Edifiers win hands down.

[@MAMware]

thank you, always great job sharing this results, could we know a little more about the room? like size and acoustization?

[@AM-zk7pj]

Obviously the dearer wins.. but edifier holds its own in the price

[@majicogarcia8417]

@@ROMERO4855 Or they put up a bunch of graphs with no audio samples......I dont fucking look at graphs to hear music.

[@nirmv]

They sound very very similar, at least according to this recording. If the Edifier is cheaper then it's a better buy. But it's hard to realize when the mic is so close to the speaker. For example it's impossible to hear the affect of the Klipsch's horn on the spatial sound in the room.

[@yttean98]

First of all, I like to thank you for demoing the K. Fives you do listen to your viewers. Some speakers reviewers on KZbin just love to talk and talk seldom respond to viewers, respond only those who criticize the channel. I give the channels a few suggestions and never taken up. You are doing a good job listening to the viewers. BTW a lot of reviewers do not realise using WORDS to just describe sound reproduction has many short comings but they do not view it that way. Demos replace hundreds if not thousand of words. After hearing these 2 spkrs actually, I refer the Edifier it gives a better soundstage in terms of height, sound width is about the same. Also the K. Fives is much more expensive, new buyers may want to buy it for a future app which I was told may include Room Correction for the Fives in the user living room. I thought the Fives will give better Bass respond but the Freq. Resp curves from both spkrs indicate there in the same ball park. I was told that in low vol. the Fives automatically adjust to gives the listener better bass. So as per your demo, the Edifier has the edge. I thought the Fives using compression driver will give the spkrs 'more' dynamic sound, from your demo tracks I don't hear it that way. I could go on and on but I think that's enough for now.

[@Microwave414]

They both sound good with me leaning towards the klipsch but the great thing is they are not even competing in the same price bracket so recommending one is as easy as asking what one's budget is.

[@Richbroth]

[@AntoG4RS]

Incredible!!! At less then half the price the Edifier sound more true to the sound track. My question however is "what is the real RMS power of both?". I mean, do the Klipsch deliver much more power?

[@fractalawareness]

Klipsch are much cleaner and have better instruments separation, you can hear it especially on a Metal Head track. Definitely a winner for me. But they cost much more, so that's not a surprise.

[@MournfulMystic]

So they are good for metal and prog rock then?.. I listen to alot of metal, prog rock but also ambient and electronic music so want something that's good for both.

[@luismanuelcardoso9889]

The fives sound better, like 3%! For me the winner is Edifier (again). Plus, they cost half the money than Ks'. Another great video comparison. Thanks

[@paulohenrique-lj8fd]

Edifier mais balanceado, apresenta mais médio, sem perder em grave e agudo, inclusive se aproxima mais da source track de cada gênero musical. Klipsch é mais limpo, mas tem menos médios, o que deixa as músicas mais frias. Para mim, Edifier S1000MKII levou a melhor no comparativo.

[@swimbait1]

The fives are just amazing, love em

[@stefanzlatarits5080]

Wow what a difference. Listening on Beyer Dynamic DT1990 Pro headphones and you can really hear how much more open and detailed the mids and highs are on the Edifiers. The Klipsch sound good but you can hear they have a big smiley face EQ curve with a very smooth sounding roll off on the top end. That's an Edifier win for me.

[@SpeakNow2024]

You can hear the bass bleed over on the fives because of the eq settings they come with. Overall both speakers sounds really good. The fives seem a little more fun but the edifiers sound a lot more neutral. both depend heavily on how far away from the wall they are and size of room.

[@rdolle990]

Agree, Fives more alive and exciting. Edi not bad at all.

[@klaaskay2685]

Is it wise if I place the fives under my desk? Will that effect the sounds it produces?

[@markuss1892]

I have both the Fives at home and the Edifier in the office I compared them once at home and the Fives sound a little better but are more critical to position The Edifier is more easy in that area The Fives must be placed in the correct height to your listening position otherwise they sound worse than the Edifier 1000 mk2 The Fives are great and the sub out works fantastic But the price difference to the Edifier is much too big for the little improvement you get with the Fives Wouldn't buy them again for that reason only But they are really fun so I'm still happy

[@Radioshapes]

Here in Mexico, the Fives costs almost 500 dlls, as the Edifier are arround 250 dlls. Im thinking to buy The Fives, but your comment makes me think it again.

I bought the Fives about a year ago and at first they were ok but after some investigation I did two things that made them so much better. First get their download and the phone app that allows you to tailor their eq and room placement changes and two I bought a Cambridge Audio DACMAGIC 100. I run these with an older Klipsch 10" sub now I'm a pretty happy camper on music as well as movies.

Klipcsh are a fail for me. I live in the mids where vocals, instruments and guitars live. Mids and highs are set way back on Klipsch, yet bass is way to boomy and hot. No longer interested in this new speaker from K.

[@MournfulMystic]

That's what i was afraid of... I like to hear guitars, keyboards etc as i listen to alot of metal and prog rock and don't want something that's too bass boomy...though I hear with the klipsch app you can now improve settings abit..but whether that's enough to make the mids better I don't know.

[@sergeysmelnik]

I like them both but prefer the edifiers by a little.

[@densyoh]

at times i can hear the Edifier getting confused between bass and mids, sounds muddy, then at times it has better soundstage than the Klipsch…as for the fives, true to form it is base heavy, but is sounds superb with the hip hop track and anything with distinct mids, good for vocals, and has better frequency seperation…you can’t get wrong with both speakers in the end

[@theenhancer]

Honestly, having heard the The Fives in person, I feel this video really doesn't do them justice. Not that I don't like these videos, but there seemed to be so much more from The Fives that seems missing here, hard to describe. I wouldn't be surprised if the Edifiers beat them on bass, but the Klipsch have a great detail that still sounds warm.

[@danielsaldierna6168]

That's clear already :) Bigger driver,, better tweeter bigger amps, more advanced tech, more box volume, higher series...... I have the 1850 with closed 10" Tannoy active sub (office) and still they are not even close in detail and low-end to the S2000MKIII (living room)

[@Driver2616]

More depth all around to the Edifiers on the first track “Deep”. Again, the same on the second track. Klipsch gets the nod on the third track. Edifier on the fourth track does it for me. The Klipsch bass sound there isn’t right. Fifth track, “Metal Head”, I can’t decide between the two. That’s a draw. Sixth track, “Bellissimo”, more bass on the Klipsch but it’s not necessary. I think I’ll mark that one a draw. The seventh track seems overall depressed on the Klipsch so again, Edifier wins. On the eighth track the Klipsch sound is positively tinny. Edifier wins here again. So, all in all that is Edifier - 5, Klipsch - 1, with two draws…. That’s the judgement on sound reproduction, through my Beats Flex buds with the same results through my Sony MDR-XB650BT. Price? Well that’s got to be Edifier all day long and thrice on Sundays…

[@JoshuaM23]

Haha. I'm watching this video on my desktop with sound coming out of my "Fives". Great video. I love my Fives, but definitely had to turn the bass all the way down so it wasn't overpowering. The bass coming out of the Fives is insane. Got them for $400 on sale so I went for them over the Edifiers.
