Edifier S1000DB
It is in sound performance where they do very well. At the price point, they represent very good value. They are easily able to compete with speakers costing more. As we previously stated, that would make them some of the best bookshelf speakers under $500. We think they are a good choice for the home. For music and home cinema systems, they work very well and have some useful other external connection options.

Great set of active speakers designed for those who want quality audio as well as versatility. Edifier S1000DB are powerful, stylish and fairly balanced all things considered. If you’re just getting into quality audio, these a great starting point.

When listening to music from various sources using this speaker system was an enjoyable experience. The use of the remote control unit allowed me to make various adjustments from the comfort of my armchair rather than using the out-of-sight controls on the active speaker.

Impressive specs, bass particularly, for standalone powered bookshelf speakers. A bit expensive, and might be overkill for computer/desktop speakers. No subwoofer output which will limit these as traditional home theater speakers.

The real question is whether or not the S1000DB is worth their money and the answer is a definite yes. The only problem for some people may be the light wood used which may not blend in with their TV sets or desks but other than that since build quality and audio clarity/accuracy/detail are near excellent and volume levels are very high.

If you are looking to purchase a new speaker around $500, then the S1000DB provides a nice alternative to speakers such as the B&W MM-1 and Audioengine A5 with unique and engaging tuning that does not come at the cost of quality and a striking aesthetic that will surely draw more than a few compliments from guests and relatives.

The Edifier S1000 2.0 bookshelf speaker it’s an interesting speaker which produces treble and bass that pops out towards the audience. If you are looking for a brand new 2.0 speaker setup for movies, gaming and music listening usages, and also looks great in places such as living hall or workstation, I highly recommend you to consider them in your purchasing list. Just a little note on the spacing as the S1000 speaker takes up a larger space compared to an average 2.1 satellite speaker system when placed beside your monitor/TV.

The S100DB is a pair of active bookshelf speakers with a wealth of connectivity options so these should work with practically any audio source devices that you may have. Sound signature is balanced and should work well for casual music listening, watching movies, and playing games.
