I publicly declare that the Edifier S350DB is the highest quality 2.1 multimedia sound system for PC that I have ever heard in my life. Far superior to the equivalent systems of well-known peripheral manufacturers for PC (you know what I mean). I have had it for 3 days now and I am sitting with my mouth open, listening to songs that I didn't play before because they didn't touch me acoustically through the previous 2.1 "plastic" system that I had... Honestly, I am amazed at how high fidelity, warm, sweet, and airy the sound of the Edifier is. In terms of appearance (subjective), I find it beautiful, combining retro design with a modern look. Below, I will describe my impressions as a mini review:
Satellites --- They are 2-way, with real tweeters (0.75 inches) for the highs and small woofers (3.5 inches) for the mid-lows. The cabinets are wooden, bass reflex design, with the port located at the back. The weight of each satellite is about 2.5 kilograms, with the center of gravity located in the front, due to the speakers. If you hold them in your hands and lift them, you will feel that they are very sturdy, high-quality speakers.
Subwoofer --- It is also in a wooden cabinet, bass reflex design, with the port located on the right side. Its speaker is 8 inches, resulting in comfortable movement of the air, providing powerful, yet high-quality response to low frequencies. Its weight (hold on) exceeds 11 kilograms and, as expected, the center of gravity is in the front. On the back, you will find all the connectors through which it is connected to the two satellites, the power source, and the audio sources.
Connectivity --- Nothing is missing! Two analog inputs (PC/AUX), two wired digital inputs (coaxial and optical), as well as wireless connection via Bluetooth, supporting the new aptX audio codec from Qualcomm. AptX support is important if you want to maximize fidelity in transmitting sound via Bluetooth. I tested it with my Huawei P30 Pro and the sound was high-quality and the connection was immediate and stable. It doesn't ask for a code, you just pair it and you're ready. Then the device (e.g. mobile phone) remembers it, so you simply activate Bluetooth and you have direct sound from the Edifier.
Convenience --- There are controls for bass, treble, and volume on the right side of the right satellite. The controls for bass/treble are analog (potentiometers), whose rotation smoothly "brakes" in the middle of their range (at 0 dB) so that you know where the flat setting is. The volume control is digital (endless encoder), which, if pressed, allows you to select the active audio input or turn the entire system on/standby. The good thing about all this is that you don't need to go near the subwoofer at all, all the settings are done from the right satellite. Additionally, there is a nice infrared remote control, through which you can adjust the volume, control the media player of the connected Bluetooth device, select the active audio input, mute the sound, and turn the entire system on/standby. It is very convenient because you have it on your desk and you can do everything from it.
Build quality --- Excellent! Sturdy, wooden cabinets with impeccable finish, everything assembled perfectly, without any flaws whatsoever. The controls on the right speaker rotate smoothly. The LEDs of the indicators are at the right brightness and in white color (not multicolored like other "sound systems" like "Circo Medrano"). Something I have to mention is that the system was very well packaged in a double box (box inside another box, from Edifier itself), with soft covers inside the speakers to prevent them from being damaged during transportation.
Sound fidelity --- This is where the system "shines"... One word (in English): outstanding! High airy and "crystal", warm and clear mids, rich and punchy lows, without being irregular and chaotically noisy. Guys, I really don't know how to describe this experience, in my ears it surpasses my harman/kardon 5.1 system. Right now, I'm listening to Norah Jones' album "Come Away With Me" and I'm getting lost in a magical symphony of sounds and instruments! All of this I'm saying is with completely flat settings on the PC and the speakers (bass/treble at the middle position of 0 dB). I know I sound exaggerated, if you don't believe me, go to a store that has it on demo and listen to it yourselves. You will understand exactly what I mean.
Negatives --- The right speaker has an integrated cable that ends in a DB15 connector (fifteen pins), like the ones on VGA cables. This is necessary to transfer all the audio and control signals between the subwoofer and the right satellite. The problem is that this cable is not very long (around 1.5 to 2 meters), which limits you a bit in choosing the position of the subwoofer in relation to the rest of the system. I don't know if VGA cable extensions work, they might work, but because analog audio signals also pass through them, I would hesitate to tamper with this connection. Luckily, I have it in my office so there was no problem with placement, but I mention it for those who need to have the subwoofer far away from the right satellite. Another negative is that the remote control, although beautiful and of high quality, is completely round, so you don't know which way it's "facing" when you hold it in your hands without looking at it. A minor flaw, but I mention it so you know that the shape might bother you a little.
In conclusion --- A very commendable choice for a quality multimedia 2.1 system for PC, which can easily play the role of the main hi-fi system in your room. Edifier may not have the prestige of other top companies like harman/kardon, etc., but it's worth listening to this particular system and judging for yourself if it will meet your needs. I am completely satisfied and highly recommend it.
