Our take on the R1700BTs Active Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers

The Edifier R1700BTs is an active pair of bookshelf speakers with Bluetooth 5.0 and Qualcomm AptX HD, so streaming from a phone or laptop stays wireless and near-lossless. A subwoofer output lets you add a powered sub later, and the front bass reflex port means they can sit closer to a wall without muddying the low end. They suit desk, shelf and small-room listeners who want a simple powered setup with no amp. Against cheaper Edifier models they add the sub out and AptX HD; against studio monitors they trade flat accuracy for a warmer, more forgiving sound.

Questions and answers

Do the R1700BTs need an amplifier?
No. They are active speakers with built-in amplification, so you plug them into power and a source and play.
Can I connect a TV or game console?
Only through analog or Bluetooth. There is no optical or HDMI ARC input, so TV use relies on the TV's analog output or Bluetooth.
Can I add a subwoofer?
Yes. There is a subwoofer output for a powered sub, which takes over the low end.
What Bluetooth codecs do they support?
Bluetooth 5.0 with Qualcomm AptX HD, plus standard SBC. AptX HD needs a compatible source device.
Where should I place them?
The front bass reflex port lets you place them closer to a wall than rear-ported speakers, but leave some space and angle them toward the listener.
What is in the box?
The pair of speakers, a wireless remote, and the cables needed to connect and power them.
