Outage

They looked great, those little speakers ... :-) and now there's only one working. No more peace and quiet! Seeing complaints, after-sales service, checking messages, etc ... It's a shame. :-)

        Éronnée data sheet

        The data sheet claims a frequency down to 30 Hz, which is technically impossible given the narrow width of the loudspeakers (edifier claims 180 Hz). These low frequencies are generally achievable with quality subwoofers with a woofer at least 16cm in diameter.
        As far as the sound is concerned, the quality is average, with a dominant mid-range (very unpleasant when listening to voices: podcasts, youtube conferences, etc.), the bass is absent and the treble is a little recessed, giving a sensation of an audio 'halo'.
        The usb and jack cables are on the right-hand speaker, and the wire linking each speaker measures around 95cm. All the cables are fixed.
        In short, this is a kit that will help you out but will be less balanced than some entry-level bluetooth speakers.
        ps: I've had these for 3 years.

        Satisfactory product

        This product has been ordered to work with a fixed computer (tower) in order to improve its sound quality. It fulfils this function perfectly in terms of sound quality and volume. They're obviously not hifi speakers, but they offer very good value for money for small computer speakers.

        Medium

        Product only suitable for limited use, I had a bar that was also used for the TV previously, unsuitable for this use. Very compact.

        Average audio rendering

        Practical, good design, but I don't really like the sound, there's not enough treble, the sound is too low, badly balanced, in the end I prefer the sound of the speakers built into my laptop :s

        Contrary to what the specification suggests, this is not a USB device.

        The LDLC data sheet says "computer interface: USB and jack".
        But USB is only there for power. You have to use the jack for sound.

        Apart from that, it works and the sound is decent. But it's not the product I was looking for.

        Surprising in a good way

        I bought these PC speakers to get round a problem with faulty speakers (Harman Kardon) on my 11-year-old gamer laptop, which was being installed temporarily and was therefore very badly laid out.

        Very small in size, they don't take up much space, but the sound is really not bad at all (better than some competing brands costing twice as much), and they're much better than the original laptop speakers, and screens, no unpleasant highs that drown out the rest of the spectrum.
        Obviously, they're not designed to provide the soundtrack to a party, nor to shake the walls, but when you don't want to turn on your entire hifi system, to watch banal YouTube videos, or the news, weather, etc, they're very useful, and far from unpleasant for a little music session (not to be compared to a real hifi system, of course).

        What's more, the headphone socket on the right-hand speaker is very practical, allowing you to plug in your headphones, as the PC jack is monopolised by the speaker.
        Just be careful with the cable connecting the 2 speakers, it's quite short, but no problem for a 17-inch laptop.

        Works without a hitch on Linux (Debian Sid), in bitperfect in my case, without a sound controller.
        A 5-star rating amply deserved given the price, and the manufacture which looks serious and solid, the loudspeakers weigh their little weight nevertheless, to see the solidity and reliability in time.

        And as mentioned everywhere, LDLC is at the top of its game, at the shop in my town, one of the rare shops that still knows how to welcome its customers.
        And a big plus for the 3-year warranty.

        Very good value for money

        I have never been disappointed by Edifier so far, and I am once again very happy with them: small, space-saving speakers, usb power supply, simple and quite good sound for the price!
        For occasional gaming or filming the sound is loud and good enough, better than speakers built into screens.
        I'm happy with my choice.

        Sufficient

        These small speakers are perfectly sufficient for normal use and for those who do not need to turn up the volume too loudly.

        Whether you're playing games, watching a YouTube video or listening to music while working, they're good enough.

        I particularly liked their small size and design. I also like the USB connection of the speakers (self-powered via USB). This means that when the computer is switched off, the speakers are also switched off automatically.

        However, I regret that the cable between each speaker is not longer. If you want to place your speakers at the left and right ends of your desk, this will not be possible. You are limited to placing your speakers on either side of the screen (and even then, you don't need to have too big a screen).

        Satisfied for the very contained price of these small speakers. This is exactly what I was looking for.

        Perfect

        These small speakers are easy to fit on a desk
        The sound quality is actually quite good for an unpretentious piece of equipment
