I also wrote a comparison review of the Edifier R1700BT vs Edfier R1850DB which you can read here. Both are in a similar price range. Edifier R1700BT vs R1280DB Comparison Design If you’re looking for a real bassy speaker, these probably aren’t the ones for you.

Aux Input (2X) – offers convenient connectivity to whatever type of device for as long as it has an available headphone output measuring 3.5mm or dual output (RCA). You can easily attach it to two different devices at an equal time by using AUX, without the need to plug or switch it. Did some research and tried some in numerous stores, and I came to the conclusion that the R1855DB sound the best (compared to: R2000DB, R1700DBS, R1700DB, R1280BTS and BT). They are incomparably better than the R1700DB and R1280BT to a point that I wouldn't even consider buying the previously mentioned ones.
