Edifier S351DB 2.1 Speaker System Review: Great Clarity Sound

[@jeandrealex]

Just got my set this morning. I am amazed. I had a logi z906. Was too much hassle with all the wires. But this new setup is superb. Thank you so much. Highly recommend them.

Hi, since i have the z906 (since it broke down, looking for something new), how would you compare the sound quality? Thank you

[@Tamilpasanga664]

Hi which is better logi or edifier for songs listening

[@miziu1977]

Hi Richard. A very nice review. I would like to know a feature that I can't find anywhere... How long are the cables connecting the satellites to the woofer? I know they are two different cables, the right one is fixed on the satellite and the left one is removable but how long are they and if they are of different lengths. I thank you.

I got thise speakers for like 8 months and useing every day on pc with optic cable and bluetooth with phone never head speakers with this quality sound and i was replaceing my Logitech Z5500 and it was my best choice since than it got doubled the price in my country .. i never heard before about this great quality brand edifier only when they released the Edifier R1280T and Edifier R1280DB a cheap less than 100 euro system but gives lessons for speakers in 500 euro range You could make a comparison with some other speakers but thx for review

[@tomislavkruljac7941]

Thanks for the review, do you know what is the diffrence between S350DB and S351DB?

[@RichardTech]

I believe the main difference is the colour and the remote that ships with it. The S350DB has a puck-style remote and a brown wooden veneer. Thanks for watching the review!

[@jkuzel]

@@RichardTech also older vs newer Bluetooth .. that's probably the only reason they made the update

[@M_Huzaifah]

The remote control on the S351DB is way better than the round design on S350DB. Edit: typo

[@jayden_2954]

@@RichardTech I saw on google that the s351 has a built in amp too

[@dga4914]

S350db - bluetooth V4.0 aptx - colour brown veneer - round design remote S351db - bluetooth V5.0 (idk aptx or not, some source said it has aptx but some not) - colour black veneer - tv design remote The others are the same

[@YouNameItGaming]

Great review. I'm looking at the edifiers to succeed my logitech Z-2300 kit that I've had for forever. Sure, my logitechs are still fantastic, but I'm after a more balanced sound, and the digital inputs on the S351DB are a big plus in contrast to the 3.5mm only on my logitechs. I've definitely thought about going down an upgrade path for the logitechs, but for what I'm considering, the edifiers will probably cost me less overall, and I know the edifiers will work, whereas the same i can't guarantee for the logitechs after surgery

[@RichardTech]

Thanks for watching the review, I hope you like your new speakers!

[@YouNameItGaming]

@@RichardTech are you still using the Edifier S351DB today? If so, how do you feel about them 2 years on?

@@YouNameItGaming Yep, still using these today. Really happy with them and I think they deliver a great sound whether it's quiet background music during the workday or turning up the volume a bit to enjoy the music.

I really like the specs on these speaker, but I can not bring myself to buy them, just due to the different speaker connections! Seems like something I would do when I don't have a complete set of parts to build something, I just smash it together to make it work. For $500 today(Canadian) Nope. Poor choice for connections. What would be a nice competitor to these?

[@RichardTech]

[@גבימאדר]

For everyday use and different styles of music is it worth the investment and buy s2000mkiii? Strong bass is important to me, but sound quality is also important to me. Are the differences between the models noticeable? Tnx..

[@zahoorzargar7056]

This guy can be a good news reader. Anyways video was informative.

[@RichardTech]

Thanks for watching!

[@CinemaDemocratica]

Can I use the subwoofer as a stand-alone in a system with a subwoofer output on the amplifier?

[@RichardTech]

This works more as a whole system. If you want a standalone sub, take a look at the Edifier T5

[@rsg5850]

how many bluetooth device you can connect with S351DB?

[@khanoff13]

English: As the owner of this system, I can say the following: the crossover frequency between the subwoofer and the mid/high-frequency driver is somewhere around 150Hz. As a result, frequencies from 80-150Hz are still coming from the subwoofer. These frequencies are quite locatable by the ear. Now imagine the scenario - you have male vocals that fall into this range but also extend beyond it. Part of the sound stream comes from the subwoofer in the corner, while part comes from the speakers. This results in a mess. Tests with music genres like metalcore also show this. Russian: Как владелец этой системы могу сказать следующее: частота раздела между сабом и сч/вч динамиком находится где-то в районе 150Гц. В результате частоты 80-150 у вас все-таки идут из саба. И эти частоты уже вполне таки лоцируются ухом. А теперь представьте картину - у вас мужской вокал, который попадает в этот диапазон. Но и выходит из него. Часть звукового потока идёт из саба, который стоит в углу, а часть расходится из колонок. В результате получается каша. Тесты таких музыкальных жанров как metall core тоже это показывают.

[@khanoff13]

As addition to previous words: use digital inputs - sound will be much better then via analog ones. Sub should be placed in the middle.

[@Callatis]

Nice review. What do you think about the Creative Stage 360? How's the sound of that 2.1 system compared to the Edifier S351DB?

[@RichardTech]

Thanks! I’ve not been able to try the Stage 360, but have tried the Stage V2 - these (Edifier) definitely beat the V2.

[@alexandrusav2125]

Hello again... one extra question regarding this system.. does it have any kind of LEDs for power / function indication?... i can't really tell from the images presented in the video.. thanks

[@RichardTech]

It has a small white LED underneath the dials on the right-side speaker. The source indicator on the front of the right speaker will flash when you increase or decrease volume. Hope this helps!

[@alexandrusav2125]

@@RichardTech thanks again for the quick answer! Cheers mate

[@mocaicehot]

Great explanation. I'm planning to get the s351DB, upgrading from my current soundbar. Can you tell me if i can use the soundbar together with S351DB? Is there a possible way for connection? My soundbar still working well.

[@RichardTech]

Unfortunately, there's no way to connect other speakers to work as one alongside the S351DB, if you have something like a HiFi receiver you may be able to combine them using that but there's no way to add a soundbar to the S351DB out of the box. Thanks for watching the review, if you found the video useful please consider subscribing!

[@WiseWik]

Hiya. Since it looks like you're still responding to comments, wanted to ask what is the length of speaker cables - serial and the other one. Do you still have the speakers? How are they still performing?

[@RichardTech]

Hi, apologies I don’t have specific measurements - the serial cable is a few metres long, unfortunately not removable so the placement of the right speaker is dictated by the sub. The other cable is quite long, plenty of length to have a good stereo separation.

[@chuckystus]

Awesome review man! You helped me make the decision easier. You mentioned that you also use SONOS, can you tell, what is their sound like compared to the sound with SONOS ONE?

[@RichardTech]

Thank you, I'm glad the video could help. The Sonos One sounds great for the size and, of course, has the added benefit of the smart features but these Edifier speakers definitely do offer a more rich sound experience as they can offer detailed sound across the audio spectrum.

@RichardTech yeah okay, I know what you mean.. thanks! Great review by the way

[@jackson_yeo]

Can i place the subwoofer on my desk? I have a wall mounted desk which is impossible for me to place it on the floor

[@RichardTech]

If you have the room for it, I don't see why not however it may affect how it sounds and it is quite big. Even for having it on the floor, I have placed it on some vibration absorbing feet that are designed for washing machines which you may want to do if it is on your worktop.

[@k4shiwa]

I have read some store descriptions boasting it can connect up to 6 devices but I honestly don't know what that means since, as far as I understand, you cannot upgrade it with more speakers (as you well said). Do you have any insight?

I believe that may be referring to the different input choices that the speakers support. Thanks for watching the review, if you found the video useful please consider subscribing!

There is a power switch on the back of the subwoofer to turn on and off the main power.
