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!

    Yamaha = clarity and realistic sound (better for studio mixing) Edifier = warm sound (better for overall consumer listening)

    A sound engineer said that you can make the R2000DB so close to HS5 by blocking the bass ports with socks or any cloth material i think and settings the both treble and bass dials to 9oclock. Wondering if you have tried that?

    После долгих мук выбора просмотров видосиков и форумов в итоге взял r2000db. Звук классный, стерео панорама чёткая, запас по громкости для моей комнаты огромный, на максимальной громкости звук остаётся чистый. Подключил по оптике, в сравнении с RCA звук ощутимо чище. Из минусов: - Регулировка громкости сзади, приходится либо пультом, либо через комп регулировать. - Больше придирки и предубеждение, что фазик сзади. - И вкусовщина - цвет. В классическом чёрном мне бы больше нравились, купил под дерево, так как других цветов не было, в живую в красноту уходит. Даже как то дешевит такое исполнение. Звучат лучше, чем выглядят и управляются - и это главное. Я сомневаюсь что за такие деньги можно взять чтото приближенное по качеству звучания. Про пульт. Пульт дешманчевский конешн, надеюсь не сломается быстро, на нём есть переключения режимов classic и dynamic, классика мониторная больше, в динамике завышаются слегка верха и низы, но достаточно деликатно, я думаю не больше 2-3db, это прикольно. Сравнивал со своей экстрим 3 от jbl (понятно это разный формат, назначение и всё такое) Так вот. Эдики более мониторные, на верхах более чистые, ну и конечно же стерео панорама, разборчивость инструментов лучше.

    Todo es muy subjetivo, porque lo que captan los Mic se percibe de forma distinta, si no los tenes enfrente no podes apreciar claramente las virtudes y defectos de cada uno...pero si, en la realidad al r2000db lo podes aumentar apenas entre 2 o 3db en el rango de 300a600hz, pero depende de cada oído, es personal la percepción...saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷

    Edifier is consumer speaker. Generally they are more colourful on their sounds with Eq been adjusted. But the Yamaha sounds great honestly, more clarity and punchy on the bass, flat response on each note. I tend to like Yamaha sound honestly as I've used monitoring headphones all my life. Honestly edifier coming out strong as they have been quite new in the audio industry. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Thank you so much for your reply. Most people completely ignore audiophile questions related to gaming, adopting a blasé attitude. I wish there was a cheaper version with the same quality, but without Bluetooth, since I don´t need that and I noticed it makes Edifier products more expensive. The R1280T seems the best model without that feature, but judging from your videos that´s a ´different league´.

    I had a set of logitech 5.1, they were ok. Always too boomy with the bass and never crisp enough in the highs/mids for me to hear speech during movies etc. Then bought a pair of cheap m audio bookselfs with 3" woofers as I didnt need that boomy bass. They were much better. Then I bought a pair of behringers with 4" woofers and the sound was better still. Finally I got the JBL lsr305 with 5" woofers paired to a schiit DAC and I spent days going over my songlist because it was like I had rediscovered music. Instruments were clear, sounds I never realized in songs were present. I think my current setup has hit the audio sweet spot for bang for the buck. I would have to be paying a lot more at this point to get the same jump in audio fidelity. There are much more expensive audio setups but I feel I've gone far enough down the rabbit hole 😂
