Nice Comparison, Thx. :)
I Like the 2850 a little better, sound a little fuller.
Still the 2750 are also quite nice, difference is rather small between them.

Listening to this on my r2850db. Fun to research more after owning.

[Oleg.G.]

I am a current R2750DB owner and had been curious about R2850DB before purchasing my present system, but they were not available yet here in Mexico, so I went for the R2750DB and have been very happy with it since. Now, the moment of truth has come, and I listened to the comparison (on well-EQ'd Philips SHP9500 headphones). And my verdict is... yes, there is a difference in favor of R2850DB, but it is so slight that it wouldn't be worth upgrading for me, especially not with the 40% premium being charged for the newer model. Even if I were to make the purchase again, I'd probably still choose the R2750DB, just for the lower price. Pricing being equal, however, I'd certainly go for the R2850DB. Now, as for the KIND of difference I'm hearing, R2850DB's boost in the 40-50Hz and the 10KHz+ ranges makes them sound fuller and more balanced, with a slightly wider soundstage. By comparison, the R2750DB sound more forward on the mids, which overall gives them just a tad more of a tinny or hollow feel, albeit with a higher perceived loudness. That said, it's a really small difference. With some meticulous EQing, I believe I could get my R2750DB to sound pretty much the same as their successors, but as it is, I probably wouldn't even bother, as the sound I'm getting from them now is already perfectly fine. Oh, by the way, the R2850DB's seem to be significantly bigger physically. That may be better for the sound, but taking into account my use case -- I have my 2750's sitting on my desk, as near-field monitors, -- any bigger, and I wouldn't be able to fit them in, so the size difference pretty much seals the deal for me with the R2750DB. In fact, as near-field monitors, they are doing a SUPERB job! If, on the other hand, I were trying to fill a medium-sized living room with good sound, the R2850DB would have the edge.

Az a 2850DB owner, and a former 2750DB owner, all I can say, is that I absolutely loved them both.... I did not have them at the same time, so I could not compare them next to each other, but I'm sure you can't go wrong with these.
By the way, I had problems with the 2750db's passive side tweeter, so I had to send it back.... But I loved its overall sounding so much, that later (2 months ago) I bought its bigger brother (with the same tweeter, with no problems). I can't really say anything wrong about the 2850 for the price! Go for it! :)

[offspringfan]

Not surprised R2850DB sounds fuller, it has bigass 8" woofers, 4" midranges and 3/4" tweeters :-O

[xXxFaustoMoraesxXx]

Hello, I wonder if the 2850 handles songs like You and Your Friends from Dire Straits and Piano like Chopin

[teokon]

The 2750 comes very close to the original sound

[moondrop_]

Would love to see a comparison between R2850db vs S3000pro😍

[wagnertatagiba]

Thanks for the quality content. Would the 2850db make a good choice for a hybrid use (65% tv/movies - 35% music) ?

[nicosonic]

I have the R2750DB and they are great.

[dominblabla]

Love these soft highs on the R2850DB, especially audible in Man On Fire.

[Integroabysal]

I must say that listening to them on my PC, no matter how good your headsed or what you are listening to is, you can't really grasp the difference untill you listen to them in real. First i must say that the price for 2850 is totally worth is over 2750, but it also depends on when you intend to put them, if you room is too small like 12-15m2 than even 2750 might be overkill and they will sound like crap with boomy bass and muddy mids. So lets get to the differences, 1st the soundstage of 2850 is bigger, yeah it is, not only cause of the bigger bass woofers 6.5 on 2750 vs 8 on 2850, but also cause of the size of the 2850 itself, they are like 20% bigger than 2750, yes and this is awesome this is like really impressive given the fact that edifier are notorious for packing 70w in the same carcase as they pack 25-30w speakers, i was really surprisied cause the difference in power is not that great for edifier to pack then in a bigger carcase. Thats the main deal, sound stage is better and wider on 2850 cause they are bigger they also sound louder. 2nd the bass just hits different, the bass on 2850 is just so much better than 2750, and i don't mean it soundwise, but feelwise, if you have them on your desk, or like 1-2m away from you, you can literally feel how your whole body is vibrating with the bass, specially your cest. I started with R1100 then upgraded to 1280db, than got myself the r1855db and now im with 2850db, i was choosing between 2850db, 2750 db and s351db , the s351db just didn't make it for me, idk why but is think its cause of the 8inch subwoofer, its too small for the power of satelites idk its weird cause the r1855db with the z623 subwoofer are atually way better basswise than s351db and its really weird given the fact that s351db is having a bigger 8inch vs 7.2 inch bassi driver on logitech. 1 thing i must say, if you have 1280 and think of upgrading to 1855db or even 1700, just don't, its not worth, even if you get them on discount or something my experience with 1280 upgrade to 1855 is basicaly a waste of money :) just save a little more and buy a 2750, or if you really like hip hop music like i do save a little more and buy 2850 they are totally worth the money.

I hope the Edifier MR4 Studio Monitors are next :)

[aashishdevgun]

Great video, maybe compare with the s3000 pro if possible. Thanks 👍

[affectiontv]

Hey! Will you try Edifier MR4 monitors?

[karmasyke]

Thanks for some 2850DB content. Its hard to find comparisons and even harder to find the actual product. Is the microphone setup different from your usual comparison videos?

[SiMotorsports]

What were tone controls set at the time of reviewing? How do they affect frequency response? Thanks for great overview.

[JoshyLats]

I thought they were the same mid and tweeter, but they sound different. I like the sound of R2850db better, clearer highs, detailed, deeper bass.

[jonsatvoutdoorchannel]

How do these compare to Audio Engine's A5+/HD6? Also what's the best subwoofer to pair with the R2850? Thanks

[abdolhosseinghanbarii]

Thanks. For mixing and mastering which one is better? 2750 OR 2850?
