The Edifier M3400 2.1 Multimedia PC Speakers are very well built, the silver on black look great. I have to say I was surprised by the packaging because my previous 5.1 surround speakers came in a box that was the same size. It was at this point I took the speakers out of the box and said “ooOOooh…. that’s why.” The sub is huge and the speakers are pretty substantial as well. These are not cheaply made by any means. The speakers are not plastic like what seems to be industry standard speakers these days. I like to see speakers made with MDF again, the depth of sound compared to plastic is very significant.

The Speakers:

The satellite speakers for the Edifier M3400's are impressively built with MDf as I mentioned before. The nice thing about them is that they are not just a 3 inch mid-range driver; they also have a ¾ inch high frequency driver. This gives you a much broader range in tone, which allows you to really feel treble and mid-range without sacrificing either frequencies specific properties.

Two nice little bonuses these speakers offer is the built in holes for hanging the speakers on a wall and for me personally I like the fact the speaker ends are bare wire like a regular stereo meaning you wont have to mod them in any specific way in order to use them with your home stereo system.

The Sub:

The sub is also made with MDF, and it is a monster compared to other subs I have seen for PC. With a 6.5 bass driver unit like this you will need substantial air flow; the folks at Edifier did just that with the Edifier M3400 2.1 Multimedia PC Speakers.

A feature I really like about the Edifier M3400 2.1 Multimedia PC Speakers is their adaptability. The sub is set up to hook into anything and the fact it uses a standard speaker input means you can hook up what ever you like for your satellite speakers. This makes the Edifier M3400 2.1 Multimedia PC Speakers very versatile. You won’t need to go buy a whole new stereo if anything happens to individual speakers you can just mix and match with what ever you have on hand. Another option is to input more than one set of speakers for an even broader range of sound. Also included on the sub is a sub volume control which is beneficial for songs that are too bass heavy, you can just turn down the sub to hear the song better.

On top of the sub is a power on/off switch; the desktop control turns off the speakers but doesn’t shut down the sub or the amp so if you want to completely cut power to the sub you need to use the sub switch. On the sub is a blue LED indicator when the sub is powered or not. I love the look of blue LED’s, they are used on both the sub and the ring around the volume control on the desktop speaker controller.
