Edifier T5 Powered Subwoofer - 8 Inch Driver - 70 Watt (Black)

*THIS CANNOT BE USED with AMPLIFIER *I bought this because my sony tv is a high spec with great inbuilt atmos speakers.And the bass they give off when playing atmos is already very good for a tv. I WANTED bass to have that punch when a explosion hit though.So I wanted just a bit more bass. I bought a sony ht-g700 and the bass was OK but the tv speakers where better SO I was stuck unless I paid for a whole bose 600 or sonos system £700 pounds area with bass modules.I found a video on utube that showed how I could hook a sub to my tv direct "and it worked". This edifer sub is great very deep bass for by needs and you can feel it and I have had no issue with auto sleep ,its heavy, simple to use But better than the two sony subs I had with soundbar bars. It is worth the money.I'm glad I found that video as I wanted bass but not a soundbar as the kd43x89ju sony had the best tv speakers I have heard. I now have perfect set up for a lot less than £700.Edit update unfortunately 😕 it went faulty and I had to return it ,shame as it seemed well built.

This is an excellent subwoofer at a fairly low pricepoint that makes it perfect for low budget audio setups. I use this with my PC, through a Topping D10s DAC, and have Majority D40 speakers coming from it, which makes its low frequency passthrough filter perfect to keep the lower frequencies from going to the speakers and the sounds overlapping. The volume dial helps you set your levels too.The low frequencies it produces are very good. They don't sound overbaring or compensating with boom, the lows are clear and you can still feel them when you crank the volume up.It was a little bigger and heavier than I anticipated but it wasn't a problem for me, but keep that in mind if its for a tight space or shelf.If using with a PC, I would recommend getting a free equaliser to tune your set up with this for best results.

I bought this unit to match with Edifier R1850DB speakers as part of my PC sound. As the R1850s have a direct subwoofer line out it seemed a good idea to match them with the T5.Ok, let's start with the standard "you get what you pay for" so I didn't expect to get a fantastic sound at the price but at the same time I was looking for something a cut above the average. The T5 didn't disappoint.The T5 comes with all cabling which is of a decent enough length. The unit is made of wood so gives a solid bass with no resonating plastic sound. Front-facing 8" driver with removable grill cover - which i recommend leaving on if, like me, you locate it under a desk dangerously close to feet. Better to encounter grill than stick a toe through the cone.Set-up was as follows: computer to R1850DB via optical cable and then line out to T5. Matched T5 volume to that of the main speakers and then went to high crossover level to take the strain off the 4" R1850s and use the 8" T5 to produce the deep bass. Instantly heard the difference, the bass became more refined and less muddy plus there was an added punch which became more noticeable the more the volume was turned up.It does take a bit of tweaking to get the sound levels perfect but once you get there the computer controls take over.After 4 weeks of use I am very happy with the Edifier sound. I like to have a good deep bass but I also appreciate clarity. The T5 gives me both and so I am very happy with the sound I get.One niggle was that initially I wasn't sure if the T5 was producing bass. Firstly, it seemed to take a second or two before it woke up if I hadn't been generating any sound for a while. To be honest, if this is still happening I don't notice it any more. Secondly, if the sound is down low then I am not if I can hear the T5 or not. But, really, that is as it should be. If I turn it up just a bit then I get told to turn it down because the bass is travelling through the house and into the pillow that "she-who-must-be-obeyed" is resting on. I did get a few complaints when I was "breaking it in".Overall, for the price it is excellent, very good value for money and I especially recommend it for a 2:1 system of Edifier speakers. I am certainly sold on Edifiers and it will take a bit for me to move away from them.I dropped one star on the sound control as the volume control is at the back of the speaker and there is no remote such as there is with the desktop speakers. Considering that a sub-woofer typically resides under a desk, tucked away one really has to spend a bit of time getting the volume just right as soon as possible. The unit is heavy and not easy to move around whilst crouching under the desk.
