Logitech Z623 vs Edifier R1280T || 6-Track Comparison 

thanks for your comment man. good stuff bro

I just got the 1280T and there is really no bass to speak of, even with the bass dial turned all the way up, it just doesn't put out lower frequencies. Full bass sounds a bit muddy or muffled. They are very crisp and detailed, otherwise, but if someone wants any amount of decent bass, even from songs that aren't totally bass heavy, like "Don't Panic" by Coldplay, you won't get it with 1280 Edifiers, they're not full range. Vocals don't sound like they're coming out of the speakers, though, they're very clear and sound like there's a center channel.

@@barfo281 have you tried adding the t5 edifier sub?

@@ssing4345 Nope. Wasn't even aware of it.

@@barfo281 Yup, Edifier lists their frequency response as 75Hz-18KHz (+/-9dB) which means they produce no deep bass at all, whereas the Logitech's frequency response is 35hz-20khz which means they produce deep bass

Yeah but you can just turn the base up on the edifiers

@@onfoenem8737 on the Logitech too, you have a knob for increasing or lowering the bass.

@@onfoenem8737 Yes, but it doesn't matter how much you turn up the bass if the speaker can't produce deep bass, it won't and the Edifier's produce no deep bass. Not only that but the Logitech's are louder too

@@carewser the logitechs have horrible sats that are horrible if it’s louder than 50%

@@hyphinxThat's not true, i've had them at full volume and they're still pretty clear

Мазай Mазаевич Very true but for the price ranging between Z623 would definitely be a better option because I had both and my edifiers cone muffler rippled from the bass within a week while Z623’s are still going strong 💪🏿

predispose ‘ the new 1280ts have a sub out.

the Logitech's also play much louder

Logitech is just too boomy. The bass is not punchy at all. The midrange on 623 is horrible.

@@jshanker2005 Not punchy? The Z623 has made two houses i've lived in rattle

Many thanks for this. Just a couple of days ago I purchased the Z533 and I was disappointed on the treble, sounded muddy and without clarity. So I adjusted the sound with the DTS and the quality significantly increased. I owe you a beer.

Trust me the Logitech is ok if you want boomy bass that lacks definition. Unless you have a DSP source that you can adjust, don't bother.

RedTony I think they sound good edifier is the Living room and Logi in my room & I like how they sound Together, I equalize them with the home app.

What sub would u recommend? Wish I knew as much

@@ah-ui7yh depends on the room size , placement,budget, the rest of your setup etc, i cant just name any decent brand and make u happy. Even if i had all that info i still would recommend going to a local dealer and test them out in real for yourself, even if you buy the best subwoofer out there on the market you might not like the sound, everybodys ears are different

@@cybernaab Im lost again but will rely on your advice to find a way out.

I'd say Edifier, they are super crisp...........but if you want ANY amount of bass, Z623, because 1280T just doesn't have it. I just got them and I'm a bit disappointed - I wasn't looking for room shaking bass, which is why I went 1280T over Z623 (which are only $20USD more at time of this post), but 1280T have no detectable bass to my ears.

Bobzeda just don't. Logitech doesn't has a midrange..

@@11Modern11 I know....I want a sub though!!! If the Edifiers just had a subwoofer option!!!

@@bobzeda edifier m3600d?

You know both speakers have that built in?

@@hyphinx yep this was a year ago when i was first starting to learn about speakers (as you can clearly tell), now i know more or less everything about them

@@k0zmix114 ah okay makes sense

should have gone with edifier m3600d instead

@@andreasbernardi3654 Way more expensive, not even comparable

@@globalko exactly my point. 😁 thanks for stating that up.

nope, there is no tweeter on logitech one. thus it wont go as detailed as edifier in high frequencies, also mids

what equalizer would you recomend

@david Boeta APO equalizer is very good and with z623 you really need an eq to tune the upper mids and highs

U need a better phone

@Orav A. is edifier m3600d better than this logitech?

If I had Z623 I'd stick with them. You can at least turn the bass down. You can't get more bass out of 1280T, it's just not there.

@@barfo281 Not just bass, i have the z623 and they sound meh if thats all you're used to but they are muffled when compared to these edifiers and the edifiers are cheaper, ill be upgrading soon.

@@whitegoodman7465 I went with Edifier 1280T over Z623. Not saying I regret it, but they don't really wow me.

@@soylentgreen8795 Hey SG, fancy seeing you here.

@@barfo281 1280 by themselves are not great. Add a good sub and watch them bloom, the Z623 will start to cry

What are you listening through?

@Andrew Weber quote: "Either I’m just a total casual when it comes to audio or this is exhibit A for why RU-vid sound tests don’t reflect the real world experience, because I feel like I can’t tell the difference between these speakers, just from listening to the comparison" Most likely it's the gear (if you're listening to it with your TV speakers, computer speakers, cheap soundbar, entry level computer speakers, bluetooth speakers, etc) you're using at the time of listening to this video. My advice get a good pair of wired headphones/ear buds first (like Beyerdynamics, Audio-Technica, Sennheiser, Etymotic research, etc) because it's a good way to isolate your various background noises and you'll realize sounds you may have never heard before from what you normally listen too. I also recommend a decent DAC, (even a cheap USB external DACs usually sound better than most computer's built in audio chipset/card) this way you will have better sound processing that what's built into your phone, computer, TV, etc) but still get the headphones/ear buds first over this. Now when you listen to some of these youtube sound comparison videos you will easily tell the difference (unless you're hearing impaired). From here try a few speakers, only buy from outlets with easy return policies, and pick the speakers based on what you intend to listen the most (Rock/techno/edm/rap budget for a sub sat or add a sub if budget allows. Classical/jazz/dialog consider going 2.0 since this genre tends to only go down to about 40hz so popular audiophile monitors is the way to go).

I have z623 amazing sound has good treble and good bass

Nice mids

@@@necor3088 Yes it's a bass heavy system. You need well balanced highs, mids and lows if you are looking for a decent sound system. Anything heavy will ruin it. Since the device in question does not have tweeters it cannot produce good highs. It's just an average sound system as far as music is concern. With overpowering bass Z623 is good for games and movies though.

I know...it's missing mids too.

@@necor3088 the z623 has bass, thats all it has. It has shit mids and highs.

I own the Z906 and recommend that hands down over both of these. But that's unfair to say that because this is a comparison between the z623 and the R1280T being roughly the same price. That being said i would recommend buying the edifier because of the inputs and build quality that the z623 lacks. Another important thing to mention is that the logitech lacks a center speaker which is a must if you use it for movies because it will be hard to understand conversation/discussions in movies when people are speaking. Thats why the z906 has more speakers for clarity. But for music id personality buy whatever based on your taste of music as the subwoofer will mean alot for some people but overall i think the edifier would be the more sensible choice.

Btw if you go to a store and listen to both and feel having a bigger subwoofer is better over clarity but bothered by the fact that there is no Bluetooth on the logitech they sell a Bluetooth adaptor separately.

JBL 1 405>presonus e 3.5. If you're bass head then logi

Quality price yeah. If Subwoofer is not in your plans then a CREATIVE PEBBLE V3 should be fine

Not to mention not all recordings are the same, and some will have such boomy bass you can't stand it and others will be so anemic, well, lets just say a remote for your sub is a must! Or you'll be getting up to change the settings every time you change genres, "headslap!"

With your version probably not, but you can connect a sub to the new r1280dbs!

Your speaker, lol.

Yeah tannoy M1s sound better XD

So youll say the edifier is better?

@@denisnatera3633 with a good sub, its superior in every way.

what the heck? only based on subwoofer and you think edifier is bad?

I purchased the r1280ts, I don't plan on purchasing a sub as I live in a duplex and do not want to disrupt the neighbors have u heard them will I be satisfied with the bass I am not looking to shake my walls but I want to hear the bass.

I think the model 1280 that ends "DB" fixes that but it's 50 box more or so.

@@absgames9425 The DB version just has bluetooth and additional input options, otherwise they are identical speakers.

@@barfo281 not according to the frequency response printed in the specs

Check your ears

Unfortunately it's true. Just try the speakers without the sub and you'll see what he means. The woofer must be handling a lot of the mids.

ABS GAMES they are still fairly loud and have bass without the woofer but yes the woofer is mostly what puts them together

@@predispose no bass in those without the sub

HONDA RULES well yea no low frequency bass but that’s what the sub is for

what???????

Dude, They sound tinny because your phone can't reproduce deep bass 😐 the edifiers only stand out because they have great mids

why not if one is looking for exactly that

Andy Luong do your Logitech’s satellites distort after 65 percent volume?

Z623 is a disappointing buy for me, don't get it if you listen to music.

@@jamesrotunno6911 This speaker is very loud. I never turn it up to much

​@Calamity I think I won't help much. The quality of the speaker has limited, the clarity is not there. Plus I am a simple user, use it as it is. Sold it after 3-4 months.

THX certificación is like hi-res is pure marketing doesnt Say anything

But I trust on thx certification.

THX is owned my Razer the mice company. To get THX certification it only needs to be a certain percent loud. Plus a healthy license fee paid to THX. It's all marketing and here it's clearly worked.

What you mean "Cheap"? I don't think so, bro

@@dariuss7923 It is cheap indeed, it aims at making profit while using cheap materials like plastic. Tell me one single 2.0 made out of wood from Logitech. Even better, tell me one single 2.1, 5.1 or 7.1 made out of wood from Logitech. Just because you're using a Logitech doesn't make it expensive or hi-fi and you'd understand that by using actually higher grade speakers. Logitech is simply an affordable company that makes PC speakers and pheripherals.

so true but people won't realise this until they try other quality brands like Edifier and Audioengine.

Logitech is not only one company using cheap plastic

You people don’t get it... Logitech is meant for people who want to play games or watch movies... Is not for music... If you want a perfect music then get a amp and 2.0 bookshelves speakers...

Is the bass worse than the edifier's ? Im trying to buy a speaker between these two
