Our take on the R1855DB Active 2.0 Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers

The Edifier R1855DB is an active 2.0 bookshelf speaker pair with a built-in amplifier, so it needs no separate receiver. It delivers 70 W RMS through a wooden cabinet with a 10-degree upward tilt aimed at a seated listener, and it accepts Bluetooth, line-in, coaxial and optical inputs plus a subwoofer output. That input set is broader than most budget powered speakers, which often stop at Bluetooth and analog. It suits desk, TV and turntable setups where one box handles everything; buyers wanting room correction or HDMI ARC should look at soundbars or pricier studio monitors.

Questions and answers

Do I need an amplifier or receiver?
No. The amplifier is built into the speakers, so you connect a source directly.
Can I connect a TV?
Yes, through the optical input. There is no HDMI ARC, so TV volume control stays on the TV remote.
Can I add a subwoofer?
Yes. The sub out port feeds a powered subwoofer for more low end.
What is the 10-degree incline for?
The cabinets tilt upward so the drivers point toward a seated listener at a desk or sofa.
Does it support high-resolution Bluetooth codecs?
It uses standard Bluetooth audio, not aptX HD or LDAC, so wired optical or coaxial gives the best quality.
What comes in the box?
The speaker pair, a remote control, and the cabling needed to connect the two speakers and a source.
