Budget Speakers With a Big Sound
It was a big decision for me choosing to buy a brand of speaker which I had never heard of. At home I am used to listening to music through B&W, Tanoy or KEF.
The only system left to upgrade was in my kitchen. I had made the decision to go wireless. As soon as I started to look I realised that with such a limited budget my options where limited.
After reading a heap of reviews I decided to go for the Edifier R1700BT Active Bluetooth Speakers.
I was not disappointed:
The speakers are well built. They have a nice finish and feel very sturdy. I would say that the overall design is somewhat dated. I have chose to keep the front grill on.
The sound is great for the price. Nice and clear with crisp treble and a detailed mid. The bass can be "Boomy" at times. The analogue tone dial helps with this, although adjusting the bass does get a little annoying at times. It would be nice to have a fixed set up, which worked as a good all-rounder. At £129.99 though you can't complain.
The connectivity and set up is fantastic. I can stream music from my lounge no problem. All of my Bluetooth devices have connected seamlessly.
The only real issue I have is with the footprint. The information on the site is correct. Unfortunately, the lead you use to connect both speakers together has a very large profile and sticks out from the back of the speaker at least an extra 25mm, because of this they didn't fit where I had intended.
Overall these are great budget bluetooth, powered speakers with a lot to offer. I have been very pleased with them and would highly recommend.

Cheep and Reliable
Used this to extend my daughter's xbox 360 controller leads. Worked a treat.
Great product at a great price.
