It is a good looking product, puts out nice sound and bass

Bass doesn't shake the

These provide a clear balanced sound with adequate but not thundering bass

You get even less than what you pay for here -- the bass is anemic even when turned up to 11

They produce the full range of sound with crisp highs and fabulous bass.

good sound, deep basses..been running them for about 3 hours today!

The highs are bright and clear and the bass is remarkable for the size of the unit.

While they are fairly well balanced in the mids and higher tones, they lack bass at lower volume levels

Better bass than I expected

The vocals (so far) are clear, the bass is clean and full and the treble is crisp & even.

They are extremely crisp and the bass is really really good

While you could argue that a sub would be needed for some music, random dubstep and electronic music from google play music sounded really good with enough bass that I don't miss a sub

I was probably abusing the bass a bit as well

Great bass response in a small package

For this price they're better if not the best in their range, but for another $50-$75 you take up step up with tighter bass and mid sound, crisper tweeters.

Great sound for my needs , keyboards studio , incredible bass , clear sounds .

Love the bass and treble control--I can crank up the bass when I listen to music, then turn it down when I watch a movie so the dialogue is clear and not muddy

The bass is actually very good

Or just want to pump up the bass to annoy your partner or see how that Mozart album sounds without the piccolo, whatevs

The bass is incredible and you cannot make these speakers distort

Small enough for my needs, but still deep enough bass

Reasonable bass.

Bass/treble/volume knobs all turn smooth, although the volume knob has no hard

Need enough bass to listen to music, watch movies, or play games3

Great sound, great bass, loud and worth every dollar.

r1280t lacks the punchy bass and the broad feel, but the clarity and nature of the sound

No tiny bookshelf speakers are going to pump out room-shaking bass and these are no exception, but they have enough bass to not sound tinny or brassy

PC.Things to improve: I would have preferred a 10' PC cable ; I can use a little more bass

#3 advice , you need to raise the volumen on the integrated controls of the speakers around 80% for volume and bass and treble around 80% and 50% respectively.. so you get the best bass possible... and in your PC ,raise the volume of Sound card to 100%

Great looking and feeling speakers with good sound quality and bass, my only concern is a lot of long annoying wires in the back, and the aux cord won't fit in my phone with it's case on, other than that, exactly what I was looking for

The bass is good

This may reduce the impression of "warmth" that many listeners notice first but the bass is tighter and the overall tonal balance is improved.

The sound is amazing with a nice full bass sound

The M-Audios also lacked the bass and treble controls that these Edifiers have

The designers used the common trick of bloating the upper bass to give the impression of a more robust bottom end from a small speaker.

Really loud, clear sounding and amazing bass response

Very crisp, clean, good bass, and volume

With treble set at around +4 and bass set at around -4, these speakers will have a nice sparkle to the treble and tight, but lean bass

I'd expect the high and mid ranges to be good on speakers like this, but what surprised me is the full, rich bass

With treble set at around +4 and bass set at around -4, these speakers will have a nice sparkle to the treble and tight, but lean bass

This is a surprisingly powerful set of speakers with strong bass

Bass is adequate for my needs.

Even with the powerful bass, the midtones come out crisp

While loud and booming, the bass is also defined enough that it doesn't overpower the rest of the music.

I was asked if I had a sub woofer connected so the bass is not to shabby at all

Decent bass output, but I did add a subwoofer to my setup to make up for the extra at the bottom.

Wonderful and clear hi's and lows the bass is also good but lacks depth

These speakers are as good as you can get for $100, with terrific volume, bass, and clear sound reproduction

Love these - they look great and have adjustable bass and treble.

Great mid's and comfortable, even bass.

Bass is comfortable is not slightly better than a CR4, but with these size studio speakers you can only get so much out

They're quite punchy and have really adequate bass

the bass is adjustable so is the treble..folks for 99$ get these speakers its totally worth it..love them.

These speakers are really good for bass heavy music like pop, rap, and stuff like that: the bass is very strong and makes this BOOM BOOM BOOM, that many people tend to enjoy

The bass is firm and punchy for its class, and the highs/treble is crisp and even

While no speaker can produce true low end bass with a tiny driver and limited power, this speaker produces sufficient bass to make listening enjoyable and the sound is much better integrated than a comparably priced 2.1 system

I can hear the horn section in my Huey Lewis and Mumford & Sons as well as all the bass with fun

Crisp and clear at top volume with good bass.

However, i was playing Tool earlier today and the bass sounded pretty good (i have them on speaker

Bass was not their , my crisp , highs and mids were missing

The bass is great

The bass for these speakers is good for what you get but if you like deep bass you need a subwoofer and there is no easy option to hookup a sub to this

Nice bass and treble response with clear crisp sound!

The bass is also surprisingly good and they're very clean sounding

You cannot distinguish the mid range sounds hardly at all, because they are drowned out and overtaken by the very prominent bass and the excellent, loud highs.

A robust bass similar to the ones that you can only hear on very expensive audiophile setups

I’d look elsewhere unless you like the treble and bass of the speakers right out of the box.

What a marvelous pair...with powerful bass!

The bass is a bit overwhelming out of the box, and if you crank these up you could easily make some windows rattle

I chose a rocking-out tune with a good bass line

They have very solid bass for their size, sound very spacious and have some of the best stereo separation I’ve ever heard

, I do love electronic / dubstep / house / future bass, and I think these speakers perform admirably in that realm of music.^^^TIP: If you're coming from something scooped in sound signature like me, try adding a bit of treble and bass from the knobs on the side of the right speaker, helps tone down the aggressive mid range

He absolutely loves it, great quality sound for voice from the TV, not too much bass.

The bass is strong, the mids and highs

Very smooth bass, remote, nice wood grain.

To get a little more UMPH out of it, I barely tweaked the setting to the right on the positive side and the bass felt so good when playing video games and listening to all kinds of music from K-POP to Metal, to even Country.

Super clear audio with nice bass for a speaker set with no dedicated sub woofer.

Bass is a little lacking but is what you would expect for a book shelf

Nice bass, great volume when you want to blast out your coworkers.

I'm using them on my computer and they sound clear and loud with enough bass

Crisp sound, nice bass

Good solid bass, pretty clean highs, just all around a solid result.

The Edifiers have nice crisp highs, a smooth midrange, and a tight and relatively strong bass ( a speaker this size is never going to have a really powerful bass, of course)

One thing I really like is the bass and treble adjust knobs, it’s great being able to tailor the sound a bit to suit your own taste

Bass is prominent, surprisingly strong, but muddy.

They look excellent and the bass and treble are good to have

Having the boxed in area tremendously boosts bass and all around acoustics

Great speakers...clean sound nice bass

My only complaint is this: turning the bass knob all the way down does not quiet the bass enough imo.

They are great, clean clear sound, good bass, and can get pretty loud

The bass is crisp and the balance sounds fine with everything set to neutral.

I must say the bass is quite good for the size of the speakers

Bass isn’t that impressive but everything else is.

And the easily adjustable bass and treble knobs

Sounds great, adjustable bass and treble.

They've got great clarity and punchy bass for the price.

Great for connecting to a "Chromecast Audio" for use with "Google Home".Don't expect "solid bass" but it's perfectly adequate.

The bass is incredible

I originally bought these because I jumped on the Record collectors bandwagon and my All in One from Victrola, although gorgeous, well made and nostalgic did not punch a lot of sound, specially in the bass department which I love

While loud and booming, the bass is also defined enough that it doesn't overpower the rest of the music.

Nice highs and mids and have the great, tight, bass I was looking for in a smaller, self-contained speaker

The bass is adjustable along with the treble so it can be fine tuned

Very good sound for cost, 4 inch speaker produce surprisingly deep bass, loud enough to fill 18x18 room, easily.

Great bass for the size and nice clear vocals.

The bass is silky smooth.

Clear sounding highs and nice bass, which is very important to me.

Bass is pretty good considering the small size of the enclosures

Speakers sound very clear and pleasant but lack bass, because of their size.

Even without a sub they but out some nice tight bass

I find the bass to be excellent as well

Great sound, great bass, crystal.

Cuz I hate too much bass.

Really loud, clear sounding and amazing bass response

I'm not a teenager, so I don't need enough bass to be felt six blocks away nor enough volume to cause serious hearing loss, but for listening to Amazon music in a fairly large room, they are excellent.

Set up was a breeze and the speakers really deliver great sound, including a nice, deep bass

bass is sufficient, but doesn't go too low.

However, I got these JBL 306P speakers on black friday for $150 for the pair plus another $25 for the plugs and a ground loop isolator and they BLOW these speakers away in clarity, good quality bass, and volume level.$152/pair on black friday

They get really loud, the bass is great, and the sound is perfect

Excellent bass response from a small bookshelf speaker

They are certainly powerful and loud enough to fill the room (medium size) with good strong bass and are also able to reproduce the mid-and-high range nuances of my test tracks to my satisfaction

Bass is a little hollow and the tone control set too high so it doesn't help much

Upper bass and mid-range are pretty accurate and as a result these speakers are great for vocals, jazz and prog Rock

There is no sub woofer (which saves space) but the bass is fine unless you are one of those people that needs fender rattling thumping with 10% distortion in your car

Sound great, better bass than I was expecting

The trendy monitor I see over many a "youtuber's" shoulder usually has a dark cabinet with a bright yellow bass drivers

We bought them to go with our Audio Technica AT-LP60 and they have great sound and bass

For the price, they could benefit from better bass frequencies, but honestly if you want more bass you should get a subwoofer

Rich bass and smooth sound

It lacked the crispness (even with increasing the treble) and the bass is simply unacceptable

Will update if they crap out, but otherwise am looking forward to years of budget enjoyment and my nifty bass/treble knobs.

The bass is phenomenal with 4 inch sub cones

However, I very much enjoy tight, punchy bass, which of course, only a subwoofer can provide, so I decided to add one

Clean, flat, surprisingly good bass response.

I was probably abusing the bass a bit as well

Their bass is so solid that one of my next-door neighbors complained at me and the other asked what they were

There's nice bass, and though the frequency response is flatter and lighter than the computer and TV speakers that I am used to, the overall effect is very pleasing.

I set these Edifiers up right on top of the keyboard and they sounded great with good bass.

Bass is distorted at the mid lows and non-existent at the lower end.

They have good clarity and sufficient bass and treble control to suit several different music genres.

The bass won't rattle the walls, but it sounds clear and musical

Cranking up the bass (on the pre-amp) and the volume coerces undesirable distortion but long after the music no longer reflects the artists' intentions

Nice bass for such small speakers.

The bass is remarkable and the highs are there and they are clear

They’re very balanced with good bass, not too much, and they will be loud if you want them too

No, they won't peel the paint off your walls, but the bass is there and not strained

The bass is decent

Nice sound with some clean bass, not too boomy like 2.1 systems I had

Good treble, good bass, good sound quality.

The bass is deep enough but not "pumping"

but I am not an audiophile nor do I care to boom out the bass

Like the design, bass is decent.

For $100 these should have been made with Polypropylene that is also inexpensive, but is more rigid and would have given a better Bass & Mid range response.- There seems to be no shielding in these speakers

Good bass for small speakers

Very strong, faithful bass down to 50

Good bass for bookshelf speakers.

Sound quality is top notch, built in subs make for great bass and the wood grain and textures make the look and feel perfect

Sound quality terrible, no bass, no treble, sound quality one star if that

My records sound so crisp and the bass is just right

they sound great put out lots of good bass and treble would highly recommend

These are really good speakers, sound, size, easy set up, easy to hook up, really good bass, versatile ways to hook up for your needs, glad it has a remote (cause I'm lazy)

I love the power of the speakers, they have strong bass and they have a deep sound

Excellent clarity and tonal balance, clean bass, strong imaging - sound stage appears right between the speakers.

Crisp and neat, with good bass response, mids, and a nice bell up top.

The bass is very nice and has a good deep sound, love the look of the

They get loud and have nice bass, and they are pretty too.

The bass is incredible and I love the

a lot of the reviews say the bass is lacking, I've found that unless you are throwing a rave at your desk and want to blow your eardrums out, these have very clean and precise bass tone, with the bass control on the side you are able to control the bass according to your liking which is very nice

The speakers are a great addition projecting crisp tones and a great bass

too sharp-Bass really lacks punch, overall sound has some tinny quality-Probably designed for being rear speakers in a home theater system, where their higher-frequency balance would be more ideal than in a stand alone environment

Bass is excellent for music of all genres and explosions in movies

I like that I can adjust the bass for some of the more "bass-heavy"

Nice clean sound with good bass response

You won't get thumping bass out of these, but it provides a very nice balance of crisp highs and deep mellow bass

The volume range is great and the speakers have pretty good bass considering they do not have an additional subwoofer

The only negative to these speakers is that the bass isn't translated as well as it could be, but an additional subwoofer would remedy this problem well

Bass is booming and lots of volume to go around.

Otherwise, very clear, medium bass, adjustable dials (bass, treble, volume) on the side

Never pushed the bass past its default line, but still blew.

they are great, really well rounded sound and beautiful bass

Bass is nice and deep but not overpowering.

Good bass response and clear mids

They get way louder than I need without distortion, more than enough to annoy the neighbors.-Highs are decent not piercing.-Bass and treble control are nice.-Remote is barebones, but it works fine for adjusting volume

Awesome bass, and I love bass.

The bass packs a comparably punch for the size.

The bass is quite sufficient without being overpowering

The bass isn’t very loud for you bass boosters out there, but when plugged into a powered sub, they sound AWESOME

Not loud per se, but loud enough with good bass tones and overall good sound and build quality

Exceptional highs and mids, low bass is very shallow but punchy

The sound is clean as you would expect from a monitor, the bass is adequate to my use and music tastes, though I would want a sub for serious movie watching or more bass heavy music

Very strong bass presence, not overpower mids or highs

Practically like surround sound, great bass, full sounding like a movie theater, and sounds so much better than the TV speakers

The bass is solid, but doesn't feel like it's overpowering anything else, but I haven't turned it above the default setting

nowCons:-Bass is surprisingly plentiful, especially with bass knob turned up, but definitely a little boxy and somewhat muddy sounding, especially when distorting slightly at higher volumes (keep in mind the woofers are only 4 inches so not surprising, hard to move that much air)-RCA cable and cheap Chinese aluminum wire included are terrible quality

Exceptional highs and mids, low bass is very shallow but punchy

Second: they are small enough to be subtle on a bookshelf, but have enough bass oomph and power to sound great and fill a room (or in our case, our entire apartment).Third: there's a remote

Now, the bass/treble controls don't give you much finesse and the bass can be a little weak at time

(Hip Hop is a good example of this), these may not be for you, although I'm not suggesting these don't put out great sounding bass, but as studio monitors this is they way they're engineered

The Edifier's were louder, sound was more clear at higher volumes and the bass was significantly better than the Bose.

The bass isn't good on

And because of the excellent bass response I feel I don't need a subwoofer and the tonality is very rich

and I find it very pleasant and non-fatiguing bass

I like a booming bass but these don't don't give that much bass, which is not surprising considering the small size of the bass speakers (4")

Everything was there - rich bass, treble, no distortion, LOUD

they lack low bass and the highs are not very clear or well defined.

Great sound, adjustable bass and treble, all for 100$

They were easy to hook up and deliver a great bass.

The edifier speakers by themselves sound great and have very good bass reproduction for 4"woofers

The one downfall is definitely the bass, It has just enough to get you there, but not enough to get to the wild side

I listen to a lot of metal music and find them to have a great tone with enough bass for you to really hear the kick drums without it making everything else sound muddy

Small but with great, clear sound quality and good bass

I appreciate, especially, the clean, tight bass notes this little speaker produces.

They have a pretty good bass and the sound is clear

I hooked these up to my Fluance turntable, they have a pretty good sound, bass is not the best, there is no mid-range control, only bass and treble

a lot of the reviews say the bass is lacking, I've found that unless you are throwing a rave at your desk and want to blow your eardrums out, these have very clean and precise bass tone, with the bass control on the side you are able to control the bass according to your liking which is very nice

The sound is great and the bass is incredible

So, you shouldn't expect incredible bass.

too sharp-Bass really lacks punch, overall sound has some tinny quality-Probably designed for being rear speakers in a home theater system, where their higher-frequency balance would be more ideal than in a stand alone environment

Clear voices, nice bass, good treble, listening to music is just as enjoyable as listening to seminars and other audio items

Enough bass and Tone to color anything without a sub etc unless your an elitist audiophile

Friendly sounding, good bass for what they are, having the remote is awesome and kinda hard to find for some reason in a powered bookshelf speaker.

Really crisp sound, impressive bass for 4" woofers.

Work well, only thing that I am not 100 percent like is the bass

Equalizer fixed the issue with the uneven bass

Good bass reproduction for a relatively small speaker

Great speakers with good bass response

so the lack of authoritative bass and the compromise in the mids is understandable

Bass and treble were great; at least better than my older M-Audio AV40.

Clear highs,solid bass

The bass overpowers the rest of the sound profile

I like that you can adjust the bass and treble in the speaker and the remote control is a nice touch.

The side controls are pretty useless to me b/

Returned them as fast as I could

Our record player has no amplifier so the amplifier in these speakers were more than sufficient to play the music as loud as we could stand

They sound really good with digital music but not as great as I would've like with my vinyl

Recommend A+++++

The set up was simple (they're speakers) and all the controls felt tight and worked as they should

I would strongly recommend these speakers as they sound great and more durable.

Before buying these speakers,i reviewed and researched them,and was hoping these could be incorporated in my surround system,using my Onkyo receiver that has a CD,Blue Ray,and turntable as well as

I purchased these speakers to use with my record player, as well as to be an upgrade for our TV audio

I would not recommend at all as they are in the same class as all the other junk low-cost, low-quality products from china

And if you crank the bass all the way up, and crank the volume up, they will amaze you as to what they can do, for only a 4" driver

I would truly recommend them as they are nice looking as well as nice to listen to.

Of course, many factors may affect what the viewer hears but this channel does the comparisons as well as

I have been using these as reference monitors for music production, as well as just for Youtube and Twitch, and they get plenty of volume, and have nice simple EQ controls for tuning to a room.
