How is it there isn't a single desktop audio company that is even bothering to compete with them? They have an entire massive market for themselves. They seem to be competing with themselves more than anything at any price point there's a speaker from them.
>>108631464What are you on about? They are mediocre shit only retards and poorfags buy. popular =/= good
save up for kalis or genelecs, this is only decent at best
logistics sucks, and a too-niche/low-profit marketbut even tho, jbl, kef, adam, kali, ik multimidia have better speakers for a little more
>>108631464Edifier seems like a reddit meme where they believe some integrated class D amp is what makes it qualityMeanwhile the rest of the world is using passives + amp
>>108631464Edifier sells to normies who want something slightly better than Logitech or Bose or a shitty soundbar instead of genuinely mental ill audiophiles, that's their market, which is a pretty big one.
>>108631495>>108631503/thread
>>108631464Well, there are the Adam D3V, IK Multimedia iLoud Micro, Kali LP-UNF... but these are more expensive because they are sold as monitors for musicians, not as desktop speakers.The drawback of Edifier is that the vents are on the back, so if you place them too close to a wall you will have trouble. This is particularly stupid for desktop speakers.
>>108631464They're my go-to recommendation for friends who just want better PC speakers. But you should really go with studio monitors and an audio interface, if you want good sound.
>>108632165>Adam D3VLmfao now I know you are full of shit.Terrible speakers, no bass and completely useless for music production. They also go on sale below $300 making them the same price as Edifier MR5’s. At least they don’t have super loud white noise hiss when on.
>>108633117Oh they also eq themselves at different volumes kek.Truly entry level trash for retarded faggots
>>108631511>Meanwhile the rest of the world is using passives + ampNo one is using passives + amp except you. How could you possibly not understand this. I can say with full confidence that I have never in my life met a single person who uses passive speakers and and amp for daily computer use.
>>108631464They're overpriced, I got a quote for about a hundred units for a job and the bulk price was 60% off retail price. Still sounds nice but I would never pay full price for something I know is not worth it.
>>108633117Audio(pedo)philes are the worst people I swear to god. I never listened to those speakers before but Adam is maybe the most respected brand in low-mid market audio gear, and everyone who bought those speakers seemed to think they were great, upon a cursory glance the reviews were very good. It seems unlikely to me that this company would suddenly put out something complete shit, every single reviewer from big publications to tiny youtube channels got paid off, and every consumer is totally delusional. Meanwhile only that guy is correct. Every time any kind of speaker or headphone discussion comes up here someone comes along talking retarded shit like this making outrageous claims, I suspect it might be the same guy but this archetype is pretty common among audiopedos, so who knows. There will be some technical sounding claims and and air of absolute authority, but they will be either wrong or misunderstood. When it is pointed out with evidence that these claims are wrong the audiopedo will suddenly pivot: the measure which was previously MY evidence of quality is now irrelevant bullshit, it must be combined with some other arbitrary measure, my subjective perception overrides it, or some other cope. It's very tiresome and I wonder why audiopedos in particular are so inclined to be like this?
>>108631464>They have an entire massive market for themselvesA market selling $100 speakers? No sane company cares about that in this current economy. High margin items are the only things still worthwhile.
>>108633266you'd have to leave your basement
>>108633368Insane delusion. Total detachment from reality.
>>108633455I accept your concession.
i really like these but people say they are shit what do?
>>108633343>audiopedosthis has to be the most retarded term I've read the whole year
>>108633266No one mentioned PC use did they?I guess if you are a r/battlestations subscriber you wouldn't be caught dead with passive speakers but there is an entire world of speakers beyond ones that fit on the tiny desk your wife's boyfriend allows you to have. Some of them are in fact hooked up to a PC among other sources.
>>108633553send them to me, the cones on my yamaha speakers are fucked
>>108633343>I never listened to those speakers beforeI owned them for a couple weeks before returning that trash. Also the feet they come with are terribly designed and rely on a cheap pressure fit that can easily cause them to slide/pop off. D3V was their attempt to reach the low end poorfag market while outsourcing to China and it is visible/audible. Reminds me of Peavey in a way.
>>108631566That's literally why I bought them. They are great stereo speakers and I like them much better than the logitech or bose speakers I had.
>>108631495Everyone get your pebbles ready.
>>108634617>logitech speakers I hadwhich ones?
>>108633553you got a tweeter for highs, small drive for mids and a large one for lows, so yea, it must be shit, like logitech shoving an overpowered subwoofer on a 2.1 setup
>>108631566desu
>>108633343d3v are actual garbage. Google d3v tweeter turns off. Stop thinking in brands. Adam has good speakers, just not these.>>108633266I'm using jbl stage a130 and fosi v3.
So the argument is either spend $1000 on new speakers for your computer or go on ebay/facebook and buy someone used speakers instead?lol
>>108631502you have horrendous taste, and it shows
>>108635122These will last you for a lifetime.
>>108637614why?justify your position
>>108635122I had some variant of >>108637620. Too loud bass, no high, barely any mid. I hated them. These are the only good logi speakers and it's only because of the tone control.
>>108631464Because people would buy headphone instead if they want good sound with relatively lower prices than whole speaker set up.
>>108631464I've been happy with my Vanatoo T0.https://youtu.be/OU50bTjIAYc
>>108637675>Too loud bass, no high, barely any mid. I hated them.Why didn't you use an equalizer?
>>108637773Why the fuck would I buy an equalizer for shitty speakers? If you mean software, that's just a bandaid. I tried the pulse audio equalizer, but it sucked.A DAC + good speakers are all you need. It's literally that easy. Just plug and play.
>>108631464dear anon in a world where passenger car refuel is 50-80 a active loudpeakers in stereo for 156 hardly make sense
for me, it's Adam Audio D3V's
Holy fucking fuckballs FUCK THESE NEW CAPTCHAS WHAT THE FUCK
>>108637812>but it suckedWhat's wrong with it?>A DAC + good speakers are all you needYou need PEQ for any speakers that play something below 200Hz.
>>108637898I mean software can't fix a cheap dac or cheap speakers. I tried that, gave up, and I am much happier with what I have now.
>>108637920Software EQ is a necessary part of any speaker setup. "Fix" implies you can just buy speakers that don't need EQ which is not how room acoustics work at all.
>>108631566>that's their market, which is a pretty big one.and it's crazy to me nobody else wants a piece of it
>>108631511>Meanwhile the rest of the world is using passives + ampI only ever see that shit on reddit and youtube
im waiting for a company to release a product and im not ashamed to admit it. i have an mr4 and mr5 and im gonna buy an xr6 when it comes out
Funnily coincidence, I just got MR3's for my desktop to replace old model. Paid like $65 for them and I don't feel like spending more for background noise generators. I live in a flat and already have decent iems and buds.
>>108640021Too bassy, but they have a handy bass knob on there to get them just right. Great bang for the buck.
>>108631464>massive market>the three boomers that haven't yet died and also haven't yet bought their thirtieth sound system
>>108640038Are they really that bassy? Bookshelf-sized speakers usually aren't that bassy at all, in fact that's one of the typical flaws.
They're Great
>Zero mention of PreSonuscringe LARPers on this board
>>108633553Ignore what other people think. Enjoy what you enjoy. Get an amplifier that can output around 80% of their max rated wattage so you can push them properly but not hurt them.
I've had these for a bit over six years now. I use a Mackie 802-VLZ3 to feed them. It's pretty nice having all my audio come out the same speakers.
