Logitech Z623 vs Edifier R1280T || 6-Track Comparison

[@elcacho1000]

Not completely on topic: I own both the Z623 and got the 1280DB yesterday. The 1280 DBs are much more defined, wider and crisp then the logitechs. The bass on the 1280DB is really good. Not wall shaking as the Z623, but for music it goes deep and has a good rollover. I have the Z623 for my computer which is good for games and some shows/movies, but for music the edifiers win hands down.

[@13Cyko38]

thanks for your comment man. good stuff bro

[@barfo281]

I just got the 1280T and there is really no bass to speak of, even with the bass dial turned all the way up, it just doesn't put out lower frequencies. Full bass sounds a bit muddy or muffled. They are very crisp and detailed, otherwise, but if someone wants any amount of decent bass, even from songs that aren't totally bass heavy, like "Don't Panic" by Coldplay, you won't get it with 1280 Edifiers, they're not full range. Vocals don't sound like they're coming out of the speakers, though, they're very clear and sound like there's a center channel.

[@ssing4345]

[@barfo281]

@@ssing4345 Nope. Wasn't even aware of it.

[@carewser]

@@barfo281 Yup, Edifier lists their frequency response as 75Hz-18KHz (+/-9dB) which means they produce no deep bass at all, whereas the Logitech's frequency response is 35hz-20khz which means they produce deep bass

[@kyvss]

Great job man! Just ordered the Edifier R1280DB based on this. The bass on the edifiers is so much more effortless, its there but its lighter and more balanced! Thank you!

[@florider2904]

do you recommend them?

[@kyvss]

@@florider2904 I do, you get a surprising rumble if you're going to watch movies and tv shows, even at low volume. For music, if it's a low quality audio it might not be as loud as you want them, but the quality never ceases to impress. Very clear, warm sound.

[@syahmim2897]

I have been looking for this comparison, because I want to buy the Edifier one for my parents home speaker. This is really good comparison because it compare my current speaker system with the Edifier one. My dad is fan of crystal sound so I think he will love the Edifier.

[@AlejandroGutierrez-wb8ui]

Listening with a JBL Charge 3, The Z625 sounds great, both have potential, the Edifier are great because they have twitters. I believe you can improve the sound with an equalizer, I did it with the JBL I have and they sound amazing.

[@jshanker2005]

Trust me the Logitech is ok if you want boomy bass that lacks definition. Unless you have a DSP source that you can adjust, don't bother.

[@johnathonready9347]

I own a pair of logitech z623's, and z906's. Both are great speakers for what they are advertised for, and music is not one of them. They have a frequency response of 20khz-35hz, and they do shake the house. Both of them hooked up together, they can be overwhelming in a small room. I recently bought a pair of sterling mx5's, and Ik those are on a different level of these edifiers, but they are so worth a mention. Picked them up 79$ a speaker from guitar center, and they smash either of these out of the water. Get yourself a sterling h224 if you dont already have a audio dac, this thing blows the focusrite out of the water price to performance wise.

[@cybernaab]

Dont forget that the logitech only provides a good stereo image when you have the subwoofer at the same level as the satelites, when you put the subwoofer on the ground under your desk there wil be a big hole in stereo image Because the logitechs amp only send above 150hz to the satelites, and the edifier is stereo all down to around 50hz Basicly the edifier wins in stereo imaging sound quality etc, but it lacks the deep bass from a subwoofer. Paring the edifiers with a cheap subwoofer wil easily outperform the logitech speakers with ease Only way for the logitech speakers to sound on their best is setting them up in your tv room where the subwoofer is still in a direct path with your ears Putting the subwoofer under your desk wil fk up the sound to much,getting a decent enough stereo image is only possible by turning up the subwoofer volume what results in overpowerd boomy bass, anyway a subwoofer should not play above 100hz subwoofers arent meant to play so high, everything above 100hz wil just sound muddy I wish that logitech finally stopped with cheaping out on their satelites and enclosures, and set their crossover from the sub to 100hz and make the satelites play atleast as low as 100hz/80hz A 4/5inch satelite driver wil do the trick

[@ah-ui7yh]

@@ah-ui7yh depends on the room size , placement,budget, the rest of your setup etc, i cant just name any decent brand and make u happy.

I have the Logitech Z533 (one step down the ones on video) bought after that my Edifier R1000T4 burned themselves for no reason. Personally i preferred the Edifier sound, but after tweaking the Z533 with the software equalizer that comes with my motherboard (Asus Z390-E Gaming) i can say that they sound pretty similar… Maybe with the Logitech there isn’t the same comfort because you have a very strange sub, with the connection panel on the side and not on the rear, but after all it’s satisfying

[@t4sos1234]

Many thanks for this. Just a couple of days ago I purchased the Z533 and I was disappointed on the treble, sounded muddy and without clarity. So I adjusted the sound with the DTS and the quality significantly increased. I owe you a beer.

[@loga_912]

Which one is better? Edifier r1280db or logitech z333

[@bign1667]

I own the Z906 and recommend that hands down over both of these. But that's unfair to say that because this is a comparison between the z623 and the R1280T being roughly the same price. That being said i would recommend buying the edifier because of the inputs and build quality that the z623 lacks. Another important thing to mention is that the logitech lacks a center speaker which is a must if you use it for movies because it will be hard to understand conversation/discussions in movies when people are speaking. Thats why the z906 has more speakers for clarity. But for music id personality buy whatever based on your taste of music as the subwoofer will mean alot for some people but overall i think the edifier would be the more sensible choice.

[@bign1667]

Btw if you go to a store and listen to both and feel having a bigger subwoofer is better over clarity but bothered by the fact that there is no Bluetooth on the logitech they sell a Bluetooth adaptor separately.

[@Gienek_CPU]

I have r1280t + Modecom mc-2110 sub (5,25") and it's sounding very good, lows/mids/highs, hybrid setup :)

[@ansonnn_]

Based on what I heard from my iPhone 13 Pro Max, and my Edifier MR4. The R1280T sounds harsher on the high frequencies, meaning they are tuned to be higher response on the high frequencies. That is to say the vocals could sound too sharp than the original song, but people somehow perceive it to be clearer... Z623 sounds to be more balanced on the vocals for me. Harsher high frequencies hurt my ears. But anyways, could be just my preference

[@florider2904]

you HAVE to listen through headphones because the mr4 dont give the sound as it is and cant make the overpowered z623 bass

[@axchisler]

What are you listening through?

[@MrWirelesscaller]

@Andrew Weber quote: "Either I’m just a total casual when it comes to audio or this is exhibit A for why KZbin sound tests don’t reflect the real world experience, because I feel like I can’t tell the difference between these speakers, just from listening to the comparison" Most likely it's the gear (if you're listening to it with your TV speakers, computer speakers, cheap soundbar, entry level computer speakers, bluetooth speakers, etc) you're using at the time of listening to this video. My advice get a good pair of wired headphones/ear buds first (like Beyerdynamics, Audio-Technica, Sennheiser, Etymotic research, etc) because it's a good way to isolate your various background noises and you'll realize sounds you may have never heard before from what you normally listen too. I also recommend a decent DAC, (even a cheap USB external DACs usually sound better than most computer's built in audio chipset/card) this way you will have better sound processing that what's built into your phone, computer, TV, etc) but still get the headphones/ear buds first over this. Now when you listen to some of these youtube sound comparison videos you will easily tell the difference (unless you're hearing impaired). From here try a few speakers, only buy from outlets with easy return policies, and pick the speakers based on what you intend to listen the most (Rock/techno/edm/rap budget for a sub sat or add a sub if budget allows. Classical/jazz/dialog consider going 2.0 since this genre tends to only go down to about 40hz so popular audiophile monitors is the way to go).

2.1 speaker always bad in the real world. You really to put the sub precisely or it will be boomy and not blending with the satelit sound. The mid always loses its richness. If you hear it was good at the showroom doesn't mean it will be good in your home. But 2.0 small speaker will be consistent everywhere. Especially for desk speaker.

[@axchisler]

Not to mention not all recordings are the same, and some will have such boomy bass you can't stand it and others will be so anemic, well, lets just say a remote for your sub is a must! Or you'll be getting up to change the settings every time you change genres, "headslap!"

I'd say Edifier, they are super crisp...........but if you want ANY amount of bass, Z623, because 1280T just doesn't have it. I just got them and I'm a bit disappointed - I wasn't looking for room shaking bass, which is why I went 1280T over Z623 (which are only $20USD more at time of this post), but 1280T have no detectable bass to my ears.

[@Jose1800Anejo]

we might disagree but Logitech are very FLAT for mediume and high frequencies because of THX certification. I tried many times to listen Jazz, Funky, Rock but never made it. I have agreed with many sound engineers about that reason. For bass kicks or the pseudo feeling of warm low freq music its because of powerfull subwoofer.
