- Clear with a solid mid-bass foundation
- Great separation when toed in at the listener
- VERY convenient to not have to deal with an amplifier
- Meh remote but fully functional
- Having two RCA line-ins is actually quite convenient (e.g., a turntable and a PC)
- Sound great for conference calls!
- BT worked just fine for music (didn't watch videos so cannot comment on latency)
Overall sound was quite good at low/work background volumes. Balanced and clear with good separation. Turn them up for a listening session (not loud mind you, but not background while writing a white paper quiet either) and they begin to fall apart. The bass gets muddy and indistinct. Highs get a bit strident, and overall the balance of the speakers changes to the bad.
I tested these against the R2000DB in blind A/B tests with a couple of people and all three of us VERY MUCH preferred the R2000DB. We ultimately decided the R1700BT was not worth saving $40 bucks. In a direct comparison, the R2000DB makes the R1700BT sound veiled and muddy and just plain not good. The bigger speakers are quite obviously clearer, move evenly balanced, and have deeper/more defined bass.
My recommendation is to look for a deal on the R2000DB instead of this model. While bigger, they aren't enough bigger to create a problem if your setup can already accommodate the R1700BT. I've recommended the R2000DB to both friends and family.
Caveat - This is for those of you that don't want to deal with an external amplifier (and pre-amp), and want as clean as possible desktop setup. You can always use just the Bluetooth connection and eliminate the source input wiring. I can't comment on how either the R1700BT or R2000DB sound for other use cases.
Lastly, I purchased these from Refurb-V and they were great to work with even though I returned them.
PS These speakers are for music! If you're playing games or movies these speakers aren't for you!
You need 30" woofers! (retired audio engineer)
Either way the bass sucks even with the knob all the way up. The sound quality otherwise is great once paired with a sub. If I didn't have the means (or desire frankly) to splurge on a subwoofer then I would have returned these. The main drivers are what, 3.5" or something? Don't expect any significant bass out of that. If you primarily listen to EDM or rap these will be a let down without a subwoofer pairing. I will say if you use them on a computer desk without the grills and crank the volume up you can feel like a model with your hair in the wind from the air ports blasting your face.
Once I added an RSL Speedwoofer 10S and got these tuned together well I am quite happy; however, without a sub, again, I probably would have returned them or repurposed to another use other than long-term listening. If you don't need any response whatsoever under ~80hz then these will work great for you.
Since these speakers are ported, they do a decent job with the mid bass and render acoustic recordings with a sense of musicality. Just don't expect any walls to shake with the bass output. The bluetooth connection works great as long as the distance and line of sight to the broadcasting device is reasonable. various generations of android and apple devices all just work without a hitch, although the output did vary somewhat from device to device. I have not tried these with a direct wired connection.
All in all, for applications in a small to medium size space where the speaker sound is reinforced by the rear wall of a room, the output is more than adequate. Much more quality than I originally expected.
