These two speakers are not direct competitors (Yamaha HS5 is almost twice as expensive as Edifier R2000DB and marketed at different audience) but it is always interesting to see how they compare sound wise.
In my opinion Yamaha sounds clearer than Edifier in mid ranges but it is a bit forced clarity gained by pushing the upper mid range in front of the rest of spectrum. Yamaha also seem tighter in bass regions but again achieving that comes in the expense of bass punch and groove.
Edifier in comparison is much more enjoyable speaker that will work very well as a multimedia desktop speaker or TV speaker. Bass is more enjoyable and the overall sound is less fatiguing on longer listening. When we consider that Edifier is almost half the price of Yamaha, has remote control, Bluetooth connectivity and digital inputs than it becomes clear that R2000DB is a great value for money for anyone looking for good multimedia speakers.
What do You think? Wold You consider using Yamaha HS5 as a multimedia speaker? Let me know in the comments below! Cheers!
