Edifier S3000Pro _(Z Reviews)_ When Magic Meets Technology.. 

Zeos: Meow? Chewbacca: Meow. Zeos: Good.

I bought myself a pair of these Edifier S3000 Pro's last week. After 7 days of intensive listening to them I can only say that every word Zeos has said about these is true. Probably even more than true. You can not convey in a 24 minute video what these speakers really sound like and what they are really capable of. I spent 2 months reading reviews and watching comparison video's and specs on the internet. Looked at all candidates in the price range of up to $2000 but in the end these Edifier S3000 Pro were my choice. I'll be using them for personal music listening enjoyment as well as mixing and mastering audio recordings. Thank you ZEOS for the amazing work you do. I am very grateful to you.

After a ton of research and watching reviews on here and Reddit, i watched your review and bit the bullet on these. I tried them in 3 different room settings (Study - on my desk, Lounge - alongside the TV on their dedicated S3000 Stands, and finally in my bedroom where I think they sound unbelievable. Once they are properly positioned and on stands and have enough room to breathe, these are arguably the best sounding speakers I've ever heard. I wholeheartedly agree with your feelings about these speakers, they truly are phenomenal and punch way above their price. The timing, depth and soundstage and not to mention the high end of those Planar tweeters are fantastic. I'm loving every minute of them.

Just received these today. They sound absolutely wonderful. Thanks for this video which made up my mind to buy them 👍

I saw this review last year and was engaged by how you talked about these speakes, pulled the plug about 6 months ago and couldn't be happier. The video doesnt do it justice of how clear and good these sound. Thank you so much!

That anime you said was good deserves a full length review, from you!

Just bit the bullet and got myself a pair after seeing this review and couldn't be any happier. These are replacing my old pair of b&w dm12 speakers. Few days after I also gave in and bought the flirc which makes my listening experience tons easier and more relaxing than needing the get up to my keyboard all the time.

Upgraded from the JBL 305p mkii's and oh my god the S3000pro's have so much power im scared to push them in my apartment for fear of getting booted out due to a noise complaint, ha. Worth every cent of the $700 I paid in Australia.

This company shot into my view out of no where. I finally bought my first pair of actual speakers, the 1280DBs, and I love them. The build materials and input features at the price points for this company is unreal.

I have the Edifier S2000MKIII and I love them ! Best speakers I ever had , even better than my Meridian LG 7.1 home theater system ! My next upgrade will be the S3000pro for sure !

You are correct: Got mine today. This is the most impressing activ speakers I have ever had. USB-connected to PC and the sound is just great, even at low level.

I had no idea the speakers could talk to eachother wirelessly, thanks for pointing that out! Even when knowing this, it’s difficult to find this in the specs on the websites of the retailers that sell them. Clearly an underappreciated feature. I now get why the Dynaudio Xeos were stopped 😀👍

Came for the review, stayed and subscribed for your style. Replacing my almost decade-old HK Soundsticks with these, placed an order last night after sitting through all 25 minutes of informative comedy (I mean it in a good way) and can't wait!

Great, just great! I've watched this video maybe 5 times and you've convinced me to buy these speakers that I never even knew existed, let alone needed. Thanks, thanks very much. They will be replacing KRK Rokit 8's.

That bass is just nuts! Even thru RU-vid you can hear them pump!🤓

Ohhh how I have been waiting for this review

Vandersteen and Pass Labs formed my reference system for years, alternating with a tube setup centered around Cary Audio / Dennis Had SETs. I've had open baffle speakers, omnis, 4-ways down to overachiever bookshelves like Totem Mani2. That was my 'career' and in my 'retirement' I shopped for a 'fishing boat'. Backtrack to 2003 on a temporary job assignment to Shanghai and needed something better for the serviced apartment. I went to the local computer mall looking for a 2.1 system like Logitech or Bose computer speakers... as I walked past this mall stand, I heard an undeniable midrange neutrality that promised to sound good on any recording. The highs were smooth and extended and the bass was surprisingly deep and mud-free. A quick inspection showed a sealed subwoofer box instead of the usual ported designs in this genre. An 8in sealed sub, 4in mids and 0.75in tweeters all with amplification at 100W, 10W, 10W respectively. That was my first contact with Edifier. The price was a shock at

Been following your channel for a while and was debating between the S2000 Pro and S3000 Pro, then finally deciding on the latter. Got them for around $420 in my country and I'm amazed with them.

Thank you for the review, it helped convince me to buy a pair. They are going for $670 AUD in Australia at the moment via an online PC retailer. That's about $470 USD. More than happy with their sound 🔊. Thanks again!

another great review /rant from my favourite crazy dude 🤘👍 about to pull the trigger on these

Just got mine and I can't believe how good they sound coming from the edifier r1700bt (which also sound amazing for what they cost).

Magic. That is exactly what I felt after a few hours of auditioning these speakers. I got them as desktop speakers (overkill) but after moving them back and sitting away. Oh my goodness. It's so so so clear and precise. Especially on tamil music like "Vaan" by A.R Rahman. The air in the music is rich and endless. Superb choice!

These make my sub sing. Amazing!

Hey Zeos! I love the reviews. I bought an edifier s760d 5.1 system before seeing this. They cost the same as the S3000 pros. Would you recommend these over the S760d? It's on my pc desk for gaming, music, and sometimes movies. Thanks!

i'm still rocking the S-1000 series and they're still awesome

Just got a pair of S3000 Pros delivered today. Z was not kidding. I am freakin dumbfounded, this coming from JBL 580’s and dual 10 inch subs. My brain still cannot reconcile the sound coming from these little boxes. I’ll write more once my brain calibrates.

Thanks you for granting my request. Again Z, your passion about speakers and reviewing them gives us the right decision to purchase them. I got them right away after watching your review. Ohhh man can't stop listening to them. The low's / bass resonates in sub-sonic frequencies in different level. So amazing. Plus half the money, if you buy Elac Navis or KEF LS50. Quality construction throughout and looks high class. Truly wireless as there is no wire between left and right speakers and never had a single instance of wireless transmission dropout nor sound deterioration. Sound quality is lively and entertaining so it is not very neutral but it is great fun. Bass quality is simply amazing, tight and gob-smacking as I had not expected this in a sub £1K speakers (I live in London). Top end is energetic but never shrieky or piercing. All in all super value at under £600 (got it at £589 speakers only). Use this as a rear speaker of my Samsung N650 Sound beam (tru an optical splitter) and the combination is phenomenal / deadly / amazing, etc. WOOOOWWWWWW. Thank you Z, you're the best!!!

went looking for m300s for my living room after loving the m200mkiii for years, sold out everywhere. I saw the edifier s2000 mkiii which has the old umbilical the the s2000 pros did, but otherwise they seem like identical scaled down versions of these. They are now in my living room and are fantastic. I'm a bit sad since I don't have a reason to get the bigger swans but I'm not sad at the audio quality in my living room

Its been 12 months since this review. You've reviewed a lot of speakers in this time. Is this still the best sound you can get for the money?

They look great, Not sure about audioengine but the Kef LSX use a proprietary wireless protocol too

always love your reviews. but i always see your awesome canvas print behind your lifted screen. where did you get that made and for that size "format" ?

I’ve owned mine for 3 years now and use them for music and movies. Zero problems. For that use I just put them in Dynamic. They sound much more lively and airy at the top and still have good bass. Mine are on stands. Sitting 3.5 meters away in a 40 square meter room with vaulted ceilings they read 85db at only 60% volume so way powerful enough for most duties. I might add an SVS 3000micro sub in the future to release them from driving to frequencies below 80Hz but that would only be icing on the cake. It’s not vital. They already sound good enough. I’m European, but live in Asia. In EU the price is around 600-700 Euros? Over here the price is just RIDICULOUS at 380 EUROS a pair!!!! The only annoying thing with the MK1 is that you can’t tell what volume they are at easily when using the remote control as they don’t have a visual display showing the volume level from 1 to 50? You have to turn them down to zero using the remote, then count the blinks on the front LED as you slowly increase volume. I think the MK2 uses an app to control EQ/DSP/volume, so a big improvement in functionality over the MK1. If they had a sub out and bass management in the app you might as well forget about KEF LS50II’s. They are 4-500% more expensive without the expensive KEF stands! Edifier might rule the world if they did the decent thing and brought out a MK3 with those added features! If I wanted an amazing system today in 2024 for music and 2.1 movies that will blow anything out of the water worth 3000 + Euros I’d go for the S3000PRO MK2’s and also the brand new WIIM Ultra wireless DAC. It has sub out with bass management AND ROOM CORRECTION! Amazing functionality with their app and constant improvements with regular updates. All that for 350 Euros!!!! Add an SVS 1000Pro sub and you have a whole wireless system for around 1600 Euros. You just won’t find better until you start spending multiple thousands. Highly recommend.👍

Patiently waiting for a review on the other speakers you mention a lot in this video. What else but the Vanatoo Encore's...

Hey Zeos - great review. A quick question - do you reckon these would work as a part of a desktop setup (a little gift to myself), set up either side of a 160cm desk, circa 1m away from me? The idea would be to run them with both the laptop & the mobile via bluetooth. Appreciate the advice!

Nice review. They sound very nice. I all ready bought Kef Ls 50 wireless 2 and also 2 Kef Kc 62 subwoofers for My semi truck. I will say that the Kef in the Semi truck is plentifull for music and movies. I may have to purchase these for my office in my home these speakers i think will be perfect for that.

Question for you. Are these edifers better than the klipsch fives paired with a klipsch sub?

Bought them for 500$! I am going to use the Edifier s1000w for my computer desk. I could not stop myself after this review thanks!

Did i hear that knock.. yes , my genelec shoock, and no i wasn't expecting that from the edifiers 😂😂😂

Hello, thank you very much for the video. How is the quality of the built-in DAC for use with USB?

I bought a pair of these after long consideration & findings. The price is much more cheaper than branded speakers. The sound is so good for music & even for movies. Nvr regret my decision.

hey Jack black...i mean Zeos.. Im buying these speakers pairing them with two svs sb1000's doom stack style.. thanks for your work.. i will live happier becuase of what you do. Also my new headphone setup is the monprice closed backs magneplaners... thx agian. Headphone amp... schiit dacandamp stack or dayton

Recently bought these but read something that concerns me. Since the left speaker connects wirelessly via Kleernet, and Kleernet can stream up to 16/44.1, does that mean these speakers cannot produce audio in any higher quality than CD? I.E. streaming from Qobuz at 24/192 for example. Would love a solid answer on this but can't seem to find one.

KEF Q350 + NAD C 338 at 661 euro or Edifier s3000pro?

just ordered mine! hoping to use them for my Sony Bluetooth turntable:)

Edifier will be legend!

I really like them thanks

Tell the guys at work your good at pegging

Any plans to review the liquid Platinum?

Your neighbors must love you

What does everyone think of upgrading from the R1850db to this model? I love my 1850s but they've got a bit of the usual glare in the upper mid and low treble. I'm looking to upgrade the sound, but preserve the functionality, versatility, value and build quality. The M4's don't offer nearly as much on the rear apron, but what about these as a good candidate?

What are the little red cubed speakers firing to the ceiling in your room? Peter

When you use the xlr input ,you bypassed the DAC right ?

I use the Focal Alpha 65s together with the Audient iD14 as my Studio Monitor Setup. This is the best setup for the money I think. I also have worked with Dynaudio, Adams, Genelecs and other brands. Now I wanted have some good Loudspeakers for my living room. Since I m used to quiet neutral sound I was thinking about using Studio Monitors with SMSL DO100 DAC for TV and Bluetooth connection. But Studio monitors have a pretty small sweet spot. So I was going away from that idea. Then I looked into Nubert, Klipsch the Fives, Elac and so on until I found these. I think this is the best speaker for the money with that kind of connectivity and all in one solution. It sounds really amazing and even reviews and nothing negative to say. For other brands there where always problems or work arounds which I didnt want. I couldn't be happier with a speaker for Music listening and TV watching.

Thank you Z for the review. These speakers soud even better then I've expected. I was able to buy them for 460eur, thats apporx 550USD. For that price these speakers are bargain.

Hey mate, any chance of a side by side comparison review with the new 3000 MKii's? Like your no nonsense approach and would be quite interested in your opinion on the new version and if there has been much refinement between releases.

Can you review the edifier s360db

I have ordered these ... can I use my topping DAC with these ?

These are really good value. You can start your HiFi adventure with just these. No need to get an amp and a receiver.

I know audioengine does a wireless connect, and so do the KEF lsx, but those might just Be Bluetooth connections.

Damn, they sound good!

I just realized that was a picture of Spike and Swordfish II above the TV!!!! lol Oh, and the speakers sound ok too. :) Would you recommend these to someone wanting good speakers to play music (Nightwish, Metallica, Techno) through in a small room (9x12) and to play guitar along with while getting good bass sound? Or would I be better served with like the 1200DB, 1800DB, or 1000 Pro? And I will be running them through an Audioengine D1 DAC via my PC.

do you recommend to get these instead of the swans m200mkiii? i am considering between these 2 sets. will be using the speaker for my PC, 70% music listening, 20% movie, 10% for gaming

I had a chance to test these really quick, it came with 1 tweeter not working so had to return it. From what I heard, the tweeter that was working sounded disconnected to the woofer. Something seemed to be missing in the midrange area. I could be wrong though.

I have a set of these but they don't sound great...What equipment are you using them with And how is it connected....

so at the end of the day would you go for the Edifier1850's with a sub or S3000Pro's with out a sub used for TV SPEAKERS for movie / sports / and music....thx.....cheers from Canada

You’re awesome Z... guerrilla style B

I'd love to buy these after watching your review, but I'm buying these to use in my office / man cave and will put them on a desk or table which also has my computer on it. I watched your review of the S2000 Pro and Swan MKIII. Are one of those two still the best choices in the $400 range? I just can't justify getting these for the $800. I want to connect from my PC sound card using an optical input so I think the Swan's are out. Thanks

I am gonna get these for My TV speakers...should be great i hope....no sub needed....thx for your review...cheers

How're the tweeters and imaging in these compared to the Adam T5v's? I'd love to save up more and get a more feature rich pair of speakers, but would I be losing anything when using them for music production at a desk (generally)? Are these just as good if they're mostly used close up?

Do these speakers have a DSP crossover, active analogue crossover or passive crossover?

Didn't even knew planar tweeters existed!

So... Edifier S3000Pro or Klipsch RP600M??????????????? (Yes, I know the Klipsch is not a powered speaker, just asking about the SOUND comparison.)

Can You review Focal Alpha 65 please?I would like to see a comparison.

How much bass can I expect from these? I don't expect them to shake my small apartment, but is there any "feeling" to the bass? Is it possible to hookup a sub without a lot of additional equipment? Currently I'm looking to upgrade a soundbar which has a good amount of bass, but it also has some weird compressor/limiter "feature" which makes listening to music less enjoyable. Thanks.

Hey z!!! This ones or the Klipsch rp600? Both are $500 now...

The only thing I wish Edifier did is a light wood and white combo. That way if you have light furniture it matches better. I have a cheaper pair of Edifiers in a lighter colour way and they are great. Very good value for money speakers. In Aus they are far cheaper than in the US.

PLZ, what are the 2 small speakers in the back you use to compare with the Edifiers ?

Goddamn... edifier's come a long way since it used to be just an 'entry level' brand ~10 years ago. You don't see that kind of brand curve very often.

So I am looking for speakers, which will mainly be attached to my laptop/PC, and I am looking fro something that has good base and it's loud enough. Should I be better off with a 2.1? I could get a decent 5.1/7.1 for less than half of the price of these Edifiers but I love being tidy and keep minimal things in my room so I'd love to not have all those cables laying around. Any suggestions?

Bought a pair today, I am extremely excited. It was either Kanto yu6 of the Edifier. I hope I chose the right one!

Can you review the new S3000MKII ? :)

Hi Mr. Zee what's the best speaker for you? Coz I'm saving some money to buy a good pair of speakers. Thank you in advance!

My second point would also be this: I also looked at the Airpulse 300 pro, but I think they might be better for music, and the S3000pro better all rounder especially for multimedia. Besides, I'm not willing to fork out more than double the money for the Airpulse, but would also be interesting to know if they are actually significantly better considering the price difference.

Did you do a comparison these verses? S3000 Mii I’m curious to know what is the real difference besides the Twitter which one is the newer speaker newer iteration? and what makes the difference between either or in terms of scale of sound and dynamics I would really love to know as I can’t seem to find this information. It’s hard to find a video where people are comparing speakers simultaneously.

Hello, you videos are really helpful, can you recommend a passive speakers for my Sony TV and overall listening to music ? Planning to pair them with my Denon amp, budget aroud 900 dollars. Thank you

I'm new to your channel and you've got me hooked. I have a question, Considering the price point, how would you compare these to the Micca RB42? Not the same ballpark I know but would you say that these are worth spending the extra $800?

Advice! ... Upgrade your MTB... I can not imagine you rideing that bike.. great review btw..

I inherited two Bang & O Beolab 4000 bookshelf I am using for fronts with two subs. Can I run two edifier s3000 together for a center channel or two Micca rb2 or HSU CCB-8? Sitting area is 13’ away from front speakers.

Suitable for Front LH & RH surround sound speakers?

18:10 Watchmen soundtrack when Eddie is burried

Hi, amazing review, I would like to know few other products review as well, Edifier S70DB, how it is? also comparing to sonos playbar plus sub woofer with S70DB, which one is good? can you suggest?

What was the frist app you use with the Bluetooth?

I know these pair of speakers sound great without a subwoofer, but can you connect one with it and how? like do you need a separate amplifier to hook them up with a sub? or can you do it through the xlr ports in the back?

Should we move from S350DB to S3000? On the S3000, how are the basses? Are they comparable to the S350?

Adam audio T5V/T7V or Edifier S3000 Pro for music and gaming on a desktop?

I currently have a Sony Shake x30D and I'm looking for something smaller, these s3000pro speakers look fantastic, are they loud though? My shake was more of a bass monster and want very loud.

if you only need optical input for your tv dont forget the edifier 2700, 2730 or 2750 sound great lots of power lots of bass remote control bluetooth etc at a fraction of the price.

Was finding your review on these for a month now😿👀

S3000pro vs b&w formation duo? Almost bought the duo last week.. How much do i give up?

Does this have a sub output? Or is the Tuk still the best with sub output and high pas filter
