Edifier powered speakers are well known and consistently praised by reviewers in comparison. Retail on these seems to range from $300 to $370. Currently $369 on amazon.

DROP has them for $150 and they may sell out at this price.

Main drivers are 3.75" so these speakers are on the smaller side of the edifier powered line.

Bluetooth 4.1
HiRes audio 192khz signal processing through DAC.
No dedicated subwoofer out so would need to use a splitter from input to feed subwoofer.
Multiple inputs.
MiniDSP
Bass and treble controls

If anyone cares, drop used to be "mass drop", with emphasis on "mass". So they will make deals with companies to collect orders at a discounted price, and then ship them all at the same time. (Buy in bulk!) They used to offer a lot more on their site, but now it's mostly niche keyboard caps, and audio stuff. You can get some decent headphones, amps, DACs, and I guess speakers too. The Sennheiser HD6xxs [drop.com] cans are very often regarded some of the best headphones for the cost out there (but they're not always available, and they need an amp to drive them).

Also, unless it's changed recently, they have a very good return policy. I ordered some HIFIMAN headphones and HATED them, and they took them back with no hassle.
That's how Drop usually does things. They get a bulk order and then they all process.

I have absolutely no need for new speakers... but I'm thinking about getting these. I have two other Edifier bookshelf speakers (R1700BT and S1000DB) and I love them.

I THINK you can use the "COX" port to link up a sub with these.

Edit: I was wrong. I checked the manual and confirmed the COX is input. Bummer.

>> Hello! The dimensions per speaker are 5.4 in x 6.6 in x 9 in/138 × 168 × 230 mm.

You're right - they're on the smaller side.

While I think some of the Edifier speakers look good (the ones in the OP even match my desk), I wish they'd put the inputs/outputs/controls on the side of at least a couple of their models. In this way, I could flush wall mount them next to my wall-mounted PC monitor.

I don't think I've ever (ever) seen inputs on the side of speakers. Even passive speakers. Not to say it doesn't exist... but it would have to be very uncommon.

For controls, the R1700BT [edifier.com] and BTs [edifier.com] have knobs on the side. Some lower models like the 1280s do as well.

I personally own this pair from 2019 SD deal. Paid $199 and didn't regret till today. Use them in my office daily. SQ is pretty good, sure they not sounds like my LS50 wireless, but for NF listening i am not looking to replace them. Kind of awkward round shape of the remote, but that is my only neat picking "maybe" negative thing.

Yes and no. I didn't see anything about pairing two sets over bluetooth, however, if you're wiring them you can always split the audio in a variety of ways.

These honestly look cooler than anything else in their category, but $150, you can put together strong beast with an aiyima at $60 sale, + $90 set of something. or even hit the used market for towers.

I can't speak for these specifically, but for my R1700BT there is nothing better, especially getting them on sale. They're that good. There are better, for more money, but if you can get them at $150 they're stellar. These retail for twice as much, so I feel like $150 for them must be an unreal deal.
