On Monday 27th May, the eve of Computex 2019, the 5th annual EHA Awards ceremony took place at the W Hotel in Taipei. Over 250 of the technology industry’s most important people were in attendance, not only to hear the winner announced, but also to be first to discover the top-line results from the EHA Pan-European Hardware Purchase Intention Survey 2019/20 – which gives unique insight into the buying intentions of more than 23,000 enthusiasts, early adopters and influencers from across Europe.
The excellent-sounding S2000 Pro speakers received The Best Speaker award from European Hardware Awards 2019
Looking super styley the Edifier S3000 Pro’s are a perfect fit for any home and room. If you live in a tiny apartment but want that big speaker sound, the S3000’s will satisfy.
If you currently own the S2000 from 2018 – the only real notable difference is the wireless pairing of the L and R speakers.
If you have not experienced Edifier audio – your ears are totally missing out on top tier bookshelf speakers from a Triple A manufacturer that does not ask for a Triple A price.
AirPulse A100 is smallest of new AirPulse lineup, but in my opinion it is the best of them. Today we will compare it with JBL LSR305.
As with bigger A300 and A200, smaller A100 is very well build, but it is also much more compact and stylish. It also looks and feels much better than JBL LSR305 but that is expected when looking at the price difference.
The R1280DB offers greater functionality than its predecessor while sporting the same natural sound and approachable price tag. They’re also just as visually captivating with the introduction of a more subdued black scheme better suiting a modern setup aesthetic. They may not challenge pricier models in sound quality, but their smooth, refined signature demonstrates far more maturity than one would expect from an affordable speaker.
I love using them for movies and Netflix, where I use my TV’s 3.5mm output to connect to the RCA input of the S2000PRO. That experience is lovely, dense, rich and plentiful on the low end. These qualities all in a package that runs $399? Goodness, I’d pay double that to achieve a density and tonality like this in an everyday 2 channel system. Lovely set of speakers, I enjoy them very, very much.
It’s not the most precise or open sound, but the dynamics are pleasantly fluid. The R1700BTs are neither dinky nor huge in size, so they have a decent amount of weight to their sound. It gives guitar plucks, piano clunks and drum hits a satisfyingly solid feel.
The G3 worked wonderful at anything I threw at it from the different types of songs that I played, sure some songs the bass performance wasn’t that clear, while others it was. With piano’s sounding clear and not messy. With snare’s sounding very detailed but not too much. Games worked wonderful in the game mode, the DSP did a very good job.
Unlike quite a number of these so-called budget gaming headset out there that looks pretty much the same and gives you mediocre performance that is not worth paying for, the audio quality which the Edifier G3 can deliver is pretty reasonable to serve as a headset for both gaming and other entertainment purposes.
