Is the edifier mr4 in default setting? I.e. monitor mode with knobs at the back set to middle? Your in room response is surprisingly flat. Crazy how cheap this speaker is to achieve such good response.

[@yuzhang7983]

The MR4 sounds defenitely so much more enjoyable than their older V shape tuned modles.

[@camwangs]

MR4 definitely lacks a deep and rich enough bass compared to 305P, due to its way smaller size, but still I think edifier is worth so much praise since it achieved so much with a such little chaise and price.

[@eLLGrey]

Bought MR4 with discount ~110$... It is awesome!!!

[@mitchaharden1]

Wow I'm impressed by the Edifiers and I currently run the JBLs on my desk.

[@marculini]

JBL sounds better but I searched the price and the MR4 cost -40% less than JBL. MR4 is definitely worth.

in China mr4 is around 60 usd and the 305mkII is around 400 usd lol

[@etmoon4866]

130$ vs 400$

80 vs 350 in Greece. Sometimes down to 65 euros

[@LaurenceProphetBarnes]

They are priced exactly the same in India, and even 306 and 308 are just $25 & $50 more expensive respectively😂

[@SeekTruth-ts2hm]

@@LaurenceProphetBarnes That is impossible. You are probably comparing the price for the MR4 with that of a single JBL (not a pair). Many times they list single speakers' price on stores. You will need to buy 2 of them, so they're atleast double the price in India.

[@beverpix]

For all day listening MR4, JBL has some sharp edges that distract me in forgetting there are speakers in the room.

[@6832jack]

I can't mix on the JBL's, that extra crisp top end always has my mixes coming out too dull on other playback systems. Also the midrange feels kind of scooped. Good for watching movies though for a cheap home entertainment setup

[@dohhyeonlee5637]

mr4 sounds good for the size, but can't overcome the limit from the small size.

[@semogeng-master]

Relative. I consider both good options, but small size can be useful for mid-range for example and all depends from the project.

[@BinFrost]

It depends on the size of the room.

[@santiagoberto7178]

please do the MR4s against the yamaha HS5, Also, i know its not the same category.... but i would love an Edifier MR4 against the edifier s350db.

[@denisa80]

Wow! Edifier here sounds more neutral and as close to the original as possible. JBL gives more "color" in the direction of hi-fi.

[@BinFrost]

Incredible litte curve difference! But great price difference!

[@rdolle990]

These are clearly not in the same league, but for the money, the Edi's are doing well I guess and perhaps better than cheap Mackie's

Hell yeah, thank you a lot for this video, I sent you the email requesting it... Waiting so much for it.

[@kagepoker]

Edifier MR4 with a cheap sub like Edifier T5 or Presonus Sub8 is already a win for me. If you don't want to get a sub I think Kali LP6v2 is the way to go as it can hit 42.5 hz bass. JBL 305p MKIIs only reach 51.3 hz

[@quananginh9446]

The MR4s are frequently requested recently. I'm surprised that you compare MR4 with the highly regarded 305P. Although the graph shows they have very similar frequency response, there is clearly a better soundstage from 305P which can be heard even from the recording.

[@xplorexplor]

I'm curious how MR5 (if there is) will fare against JBL 305P MKII...

"MR4 sounds good, but JBL has that texture that manages to match the original audio source a bit better, especially in the low end. Considering that the music I mix is metal and rock, I'll stick with JBL without hesitation."

[@MonesahBuson]

Edifier mr4 or r1700bt/s?

[@mateusmorais1185]

If you're thinking of connecting a subwoofer, and using it as multimedia speakers, go for 1700BTs If you want boxes dedicated primarily to music, MR4 or 1700BT. The MR4 seems to sound a little flatter, while the 1700BT has a little more prominent bass and treble. It depends on your taste, and what types of music you listen to. Remembering that the MR4 has 42W RMS and the 1700BT has 66W RMS...

[@MonesahBuson]

@@mateusmorais1185 RMS refers to loudness or am i wrong?

[@mateusmorais1185]

@@MonesahBuson Basically it's how loud they can play without distorting... The relevance depends on where you're going to use the boxes (Bedroom, Living Room, Open area like a backyard). The larger the area, the greater the power needed to "fill" the environment.

Yes MR4 don't have the base, but you are comparing 305p mark ii to almost have the size mr4s. I am not a bass head so I definitely like the more open sound of MR4s and appreciate the crisp mids and highs with decent base, all the three are in good balance. BUT VERY FEW BOOKSHELF SPEAKERS HAVE GOTTEN CLOSE TO MR4 LEVEL OF THE SOUND IMAGINING AND SOUND STAGE WITH THE GIVEN BUDGET OF UNDER $150.

i cant understand why dsaudio doenst give hes opinion and how people here can say that edifier wins ? jbl has much more deep and rich sound

[@ras.4913]

Let's remember that the MR4 has a monitor mode and a sound mode. The one you're hearing is the monitor mode which is flat. but with one push of a button it transforms into a beast.

[@evolopterus]

It's a little hard to compare the original stereo track, with the speaker recordings, because the stereo imaging is heavily affected by the speakers. How about also including a MONO version comparison, using a single speaker each time?

[@ElsweyrDiego]

you can use some program to make your audio mono, so you listen the video as mono

[@doboltalis]

The JBL 305 mkll sounds much better live than these multi-studio Edifire MR4 , something I haven't seen The Edifire mr4 is on the list of the best budget monitors for a home studio, unlike the JBL 305 mkll.

[@elbitxo5945]

Wouldn't be more useful comparing the MR4 to other budget 3.5/4" takes on studio monitors? I mean, obviously 5" monitors will sound better, even one of the cheapest decent ones like the 305P... a pair costs twice as much as the MR4s. I think most people considering trying MR4s are either on the 100-150$ budget range so, 305P are out of the picture, or need compact speakers so, 5" isn't an option.

[@GustavoTrixi]

Perhaps the issue with MR4 are the non inverted domes in the woofers, it makes them a little bit scooped at the high mids, sounding nasal, but I prefer these because of the soften highs... yes, Im an old guy. When tested JBL 305 vs Mackies 5, I picked up the Machies, that has a similar sound signature than Ediffiers MR4. I never push the highs in a mix, so I don´t need them to scream like a warning, but I used to f+++k up the work by adding too much low end.
