Edifier MR4

[...] Their quality/Sound to price ratio is generally pretty awesome. [...]

I have the R1280T speakers and love them. [...] I got hooked on Edifier some time ago when I bought 2 pair of earbuds (outer ear) from them. [...]

I bought mine for $50 on sale last year. [...] I personally think it's unbeatable for it's price. [...]

[...] In my case I bought the R2000DB speakers. [...] I ended up researching YouTube videos just to get them working with my laptop through a bluetooth connection. When I frustratingly got them to pair and produce sound, I was very disappointed. The sound has too much bass to the point I turned the bass knob all the way down and the treble knob all the way up. Also, it seems the sound has a generally muffled sound. Disappointed that I paid so much for low quality speakers. [...]

[...] I own their Noise Cancelling in ear headphones called the Neobuds Pro. You should try it out, it is amazing, it has parametric eq and a preset tuning called Dynamic mode, which sounds amazing with most tracks. Actually just today, as I am searching for some good speakers I realized I want a speaker with the same sound signature like the Neobuds Pro. [...] I can also have for the same price a used Elac Debut 4. (would need some good cheap amp for that). [...] I guess I can still send back the Edifier if I don't like it.....I can also get a Elac Debut 6 for good price or a new Elac Debut 5.2 for a bit more new..... [...]

Only time I disagreed with Zeos... I own the Edifier BT1700 and those are miles ahead of the MR4s which I ended up returning. They sounded empty and hollow and were really disappointing (what you could expect at that price range) I'd really stay away from these and just save up for better speakers/monitors.

[...] After watching many of his reviews and having the money to purchase them I bought myself a pair of Edifier S3000 Pros. Love them to bits, the quality is absolutely amazing and the sound for both music and gaming is bar nome. However the size of the speakers has started to become and issue as the more I incorporate into my gaming set up the less room I have for these hulking speakers. So now I'm trying to figure out where exactly I can list the speakers, I want to avoid marketplace as I find it's very hit or miss and finding people with the knowledge and value of speakers on there is difficult. [...] Currently I'm looking at either a pair of Kanto Tuk or Vanatoo T0's to replace these, I know both are quite different from one another size wise, but I've heard both speakers in person and have seen many reviews praising the quality of both sets. [...]

[...] These are studio monitors and are designed to be as neutral as possible, adding nothing to the sound. As studio monitors they are meant to be used as near field speakers, not as general hifi speakers or tv speakers. I bought the MR4bt, sometimes known as MR4 mk2, they sit on my desk linked to my laptop. [...] For me a good speaker should be as neutral as possible adding or subtracting nothing from the music. I am more than happy with these speakers as they do exactly what I expected after reading several reviews and other user comments. Nearly all of my music is in FLAC format as I find other formats like mp3 can sometimes sound a bit restricted. [...] The one thing I have learned over the years in this hobby is that the quality of the recording matters more than the equipment. [...] Will these speakers satisfy the person who spends most of the time listening to the equipment rather than the music, no. For the rest of us who know perfection is out of reach and are happy with a good sounding set-up the MK4mk2 are a surprisingly good buy. I bought mine here in China for 540rmb, roughly sixty pounds. also the newer mk2s allow you to tailor the sound to your own preferences.

[...] I got a pair of black ones in a trade ad they are great for my work desk - even in a cube since they are so near field. I have JBL LSR305s on my desk at home - these have a great soundstage too. [...]

just got them, and im loving them, definetly an upgrade from what I had, and for whenever I dont want to use my headphones (summer).. [...]

[...] 90% of the time I use my headphones but for those times I have to show people something or just don't want to wear my cans I have gotten them recently as I could score them for 80€. [...]

Got two surprises in the mail today (Mostly because we weren't notified they'd shipped) with a brand new set of Edifier MR4 monitor speakers for each of us, and I got my shiny new AKKO keyboard as well! All I'm needing now is the new keycap set I ordered, and everything will be complete!

I bought these things for 60 bucks in my country, from the official Edifier in VN. the "competitor" for this is Bertisan SR06 and Presonus Eris 3.5 Gen 2, which are twice as expensive and not as good.

These look like decent desktop speakers that would suit my needs but I also spend a lot of time using headphones. I have found that most computer speakers with a headphone output provide no headphone control at all and do not deliver enough volume to my headphones - no different to plugging headphones directly into the source. [...] Does it make any difference to the headphone output whether the speakers are powered on our not - ie volume, bass & treble settings on the rear of the speakers?
