Title: Sound quality and power to spare -- at a very affordable price point
Review: Purchased to add to my current bookshelf speaker system. Economical, well made, function-rich. Super simple to install and adjust, with no hiccups. My system sounds so much richer now. If you own bookshelf speakers you will appreciate the depth of base a subwoofer provides. Worth the money. Very happy with my purchase.

Title: Nice Little Musical Sub / Great Value
Review: I needed a sub to fill in some bottom end for my treadmill room stereo system. I have a pair of Mordaunt Short Carnival 2 speakers hooked up to a Sonos Amp in that room and they sound great. Unfortunately, they have to compete with the sound of the treadmill when I'm going for a run. This little Edifier sub not only gave some grunt to my system but it is also a very musical sub. If you want a bunch of overwhelming distorted WHOMP this sub is not for you. But if you want a sub to add some musical low end to your system, this little mofo is perfect. I wouldn't recommend it for extremely large rooms or massive home theaters but it is absolutely perfect for a 2.1 system in a moderate to small room. It would also do well in a small home theater setup like in an average apartment size living room. A couple parting shots: 1. If you're new to subwoofer ownership...your first inclination will be to crank the LPF and VOLUME knobs on the back and leave them there for eternity. Don't do it. Start at zero and slowly work your way up incrementally...stopping to listen for each adjustment. (Some recommend that you start with the knobs cranked and decrease them incrementally until you can barely hear the sub...then dial the knob one click up from that point...then stop). Regardless of what method you choose, you most likely won't have the volume knob and the LPF knob at the same position once you've dialed in the perfect setting for your room and your taste. Sometimes it takes awhile to find the sweet spot...and it also takes awhile to find the sweet spot on your sub. (I crack myself up!) :0) 2. Placement of a sub and other factors can have a significant impact on its sound. You may want to check some YouTube videos on corner placement, frequency cutoffs, and not letting your small children put candy or small toys in the subwoofer port. I got this sub during the Prime Big Deal Days (it was discounted $50) so I am very happy with this little beast. I can't vouch for its reliability yet, (seeing how I've only had it for about 20 days) but since I hooked up this very musical sub, my treadmill runs have been accompanied by infinitely better sounding music!! Highly Recommended.

Title: As far as Inexpensive 8" subwoofers go - it actually does quite well, however...
Review: Alright - where even to begin? I've been an enthusiastic Edifier products user over the past two years, currently owning 5 different models of their powered bookshelf speakers. As of late, I've been eyeing compact subwoofers in the 8" range that I could add to my particular system to enhance the lower bass response. I am (was) particularly searching out inexpensive, yet competent 8" subwoofers to place under my computer desk since that's where I have my active bookshelf speakers positioned.Now to be fair, there are several outstanding (other brand) 8" active subwoofer models on the market, but those models are priced higher - usually between $299 and $499 - and as I discovered, you tend to get what you pay for in most cases!There is just 1 review on You Tube of the Edifier T5, and that one was done by Zeos Pantera, who I enjoy watching for a number of reasons. So I took a chance and ordered the Edifier T5 on Amazon. My reasoning in choosing the T5 (initially) is that I had previously also owned the Edifier S350DB 2.1 system and the T5 is basically the same woofer as in that system (albeit configured differently).OK - so the T5 arrived - it looks great and definitely has a nice, weighty (and solid) feel to it (which is good). In the rear you have both RCA inputs and outputs (as opposed to many subwoofers that have only RCA inputs) - which was very important to me, but I soon came to realize that I had misconceptions about that aspect of the T5. In addition, it has one of the smallest (if not the smallest) enclosure that I've seen on 8" subwoofers.You see, in the "other" more expensive subwoofers I alluded to above, they also offer both RCA inputs and outputs - but (and this is a huge "but"), in those cases you could use any powered speaker, run the music source cables (like from a Preamp or DAC) to those subwoofers, and then use additional cables attached to the "output"connectors of the subwoofer to run to the RCA inputs on your powered speakers. What occurs in "those" (a bit more expensive) subwoofers is that you can then choose a select crossover frequency (usually, 60, 80, or 100 Hz) to filter out the bass - meaning, that anything below those frequencies (you choose one) would be handled by the subwoofer, whereas all the frequencies above would be channeled to your speakers. This obviously takes the pressure off the 4", 5", or 6" woofer/midrange drivers in various bookshelf speakers and allows them to effortlessly focus on mid-bass and midrange frequencies.The Edifier T5 subwoofer, however, does "NOT" filter frequencies like the more expensive versions do (i.e. Emotiva and Presonus). With the T5, the RCA inputs and outputs are just for pass-through (nothing is filtered or channeled between subwoofer and speakers). So in effect, if you try and connect your T5 to your active speakers this way, all you are doing is reinforcing (amplifying) the lower frequencies that your active powered speakers are trying to handle also. Now do note that the T5's do have a knob ranging from 50-60 HZ t0 160 HZ and if you set this to a desired low frequency cutoff, what this means is that the subwoofer will only reproduce the low frequences below the cut-off you select. However, again - the full frequency response is still channeled to your main active speakers. So choose your low frequency cutoff wisely here so you don't double-up or reinforce low frequencies that your active speakers already product.Alright, so how did I use the T5? After trying the method above - and after I came to find out that no filtering takes place and the signal is just a straight pass through - I connected my Edifier R1850DB's bookshelf speakers using the dedicated 3.5MM subwoofer output on the rear of those speakers. I used a 3.5 MM to RCA Male set of cables, connecting to the T5. Now on the rear of the T5 is a knob showing bass frequency filter settings ranging from 50 to 160 HZ. I set this to between 70 and 80 HZ (everything in between the 50 to 160 Hz area are not marked specifically - there are just a bunch of notches, leaving you to try and decipher what is what). Remember, you get what you pay for here.Well, so how does it perform? This T5 does best as an under-the-desk unit, connected to desktop speakers - let's say in a desktop computer scenario. I first tried the T5 in the living room and to be honest, it did not have the impact one would expect when watching dynamic movie scenes, and at times you'll hear "chuffing" coming from the port. However, when I transferred it upstairs to under my computer desk - attached to my Edifier R1850's - the combination provided a fairly nice balance (once I settled on the right frequency range for the T5 to handle).Now here is a question that nobody has been able to provide an answer to this date. To begin with, since the T5 is an Edifier product, let's arbitrarily use the Edifier R1850DB's as the bookshelf speakers for the purpose of this particular question (since they have a subwoofer output connection in the rear of the active speaker). When connecting the 1850's to the likes of the T5, do the active speakers automatically "recognize" the subwoofer and then send low frequencies (below a certain point - and what is that particular frequency?) to the subwoofer? Or, does the subwoofer handle just a certain frequency range (below 160 Hz), thereby just reinforcing the same or similar frequencies that the speakers are handling? No one could ever answer this and I've asked this a million times on various forums. Edifier was remiss in not providing this information with the T5. It would most certainly be nice to know that a speaker will automatically recognize the subwoofer (when connected) to a model that has a subwoofer output on the rear of the desktop model. And furthermore, it would be nice to know that when recognized, what frequency do the bookshelf speakers automatically select to filter to the subwoofer?Sound quality-wise, do keep in mind that we're dealing with an 8" woofer here - nothing revolutionary. It can certainly add bass, but I must confess that the quality of this bass and extension is limited to around 38 hz. I also have a 10" subwoofer by a well known audiophile brand (with RCA inputs and outputs that provide low frequency filtering and channeling) and the quality of bass from that unit is phenomenal and well balanced with any bookshelf speakers you add.So in the end, for a super budget 8" subwoofer model, the T5 is a quality product - but then you do get what you pay for and for around $130 USD, there isn't anything revolutionary about it. You may be asking, "well, why not then just use the 10" subwoofer you also own?" Quite simple - it's much too large and my knee hits it every time I go to sit down by my computer. Thus my search for a smaller 8" model.I'll be keeping the T5 because I believe it does quite well from 40Hz on up and at $130, it is an ideal match for many of the powered Edifier speakers. I do intend to getting one of those "other brand" 8" subwoofers (either a Emotiva or Presonus) that features an actual crossover filter that channels anything above the selected low frequency cross-over point on the subwoofer to the active bookshelf speakers..In the end, how we use our audio products becomes subjective and no two folks will agree. If you're looking for a serious low-frequency contender in the compact 8" subwoofer arena, the T5 just may do - but for others, it may not provide what you are looking for in terms of general low bass reinforcement - but at least you won't be paying an arm and leg. I'm currently actively using it - it does the trick - but I do know there may be better choices out there if you are willing to spend a few hundred dollars more.I did edit this review to update my assigning it 4 stars now (up from 3). And I am currently using the wonderful PreSonus Eris E5 XT 5.25" Near Field Studio Monitors. Using the Edifier T5 with these monitors provides a nice balance and I've been quite happy with this match-up.

Title: Great Subwoofer
Review: This thing is a beast. Great sound, it's a little difficult to dial in with the Edifier Bookshelf speakers, but when it's on, it's really a good sound. This thing can dominate the sound scape if not careful. It's very heavy and well made and plugs into the subwoofer port on the Edifier speakers. It really completes the sound in our area.

Review: Lo uso junto con unas bocinas Edifier R1280Ts y este subwoofer llena completamente esas frecuencias bajas que hacían falta, yo diría que hasta tienen más sub graves de los que esperaba e incluso más de los me gustan. Se puede regular la frecuencia que quieres escuchar y el volumen de los graves así que para mi está perfecto. Yo uso los 2 valores a la mitad y para una habitación de 12 metros cuadrados están más que bien.

Review: I have Krell equipment. So an avid audiophile. This is not audiophile level by any means, however it’s astounding what Edifier has done for the money. I have a pair of Edifier powered speakers in my garage but wanted a bit more. The addition of this sun fills the bottom in nicely. More than enough for my garage shop and very decent sound quality with a smallish footprint. For what I paid I am truly blown away by the combination. Well done Edifier.

Review: *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.
