so today I'm doing a bit of a Christmas unboxing and uh the reason that I have
0:04
to do this while we're still in front of the tree is the thing that I'm unboxing
0:09
is actually the Christmas present that I gave to Esther and if she's on the ball
0:13
she'll be putting in an annotation so you can check out her Facebook page she
0:17
also works at NC and if she could hurry up and get her butt into the frame then
0:21
we'd actually be able to have a look at the Christmas present that I got for her
0:26
thank you Esther so uh let's get a quick photo of the gift giving presentation
0:30
and our camera person jump the gun a little bit go for
0:35
it there we go awesome okay so Esther
0:39
kindly is allowing me to do an unboxing camera person come on in and let's have
0:43
a look at the edifier e3300 multimedia
0:46
speakers so these are a lifestyle model
0:50
of speakers so what that means is that sound is a concern as it always is with
0:55
edifier they are a speaker company they are a sound company come in closer
1:00
and the difference is that with their lifestyle models you will need to be
1:06
able to appreciate style a little bit more than you would have to if you were
1:10
just going purely for sound so let's start with what we got here to start
1:14
with let's start with what we have to start with you can tell I'm tired it's
1:18
been a very long very long Christmas so
1:21
here we go we have the multimedia speaker system users manual so that is
1:26
going to show you what is inside the box it's going to show you how to set it up
1:30
not all speakers oh it gives you some troubleshooting tips awesome thanks
1:34
edifier okay the next thing we're going to find is a oh this is a 3 and 1/2 in
1:41
to 3 and 1 12 inch Jack audio cable so
1:44
just your standard 35 m whatever your
1:47
standard like headphone jack audio cable computer cable okay then you've got a
1:51
power brick all right that's fairly beefy looking so I'm guessing that's how
1:55
our speakers are powered then next we find a control puck and this is very
2:01
stylish I mean that's what their lifestyle series is all about is
2:05
maintaining that premium sound quality
2:08
while having like a stylish exterior and stylish functionality so here is your
2:13
volume control knob and you can see actually this is functionality that I
2:16
love I love having a headphone Port right on the front because it's a quick
2:20
easy way to switch between headphones and the actual speakers and that is a
2:24
nice solid knob it's made out of some
2:27
kind of solid material feels good when you turn it like it feels like an old
2:31
receiver rather than feeling like a piece of plastic that's just kind of stuck onto something so this plugs in by
2:36
cereal okay probably to the back of the sub but we'll find out more about that
2:40
later okay here we will find the speakers themselves okay so these are
2:45
the two speakers something that you'll notice about edifier speakers is that
2:49
they always feel way heavier than the competition in any given price range so
2:54
despite the fact that these are like a lifestyle speaker and I realize I'm
2:57
using that word a lot but it should be emphasized they are still quite solid feeling so
3:03
you can actually I believe you can take off the front here but I could be
3:07
mistaken so I better not try too hard oh yeah you can there we go so you can
3:11
actually take the front covers off these speakers
3:15
and yeah are you supposed to do that hard to say no I don't think you're
3:19
supposed to do that I better put that back on there we go okay so that snaps
3:22
right back into place Esther's looking looking on in shock and awe as I do that
3:28
okay so have a quick look at the speakers close up camera person are you
3:32
can you're close up really I find that very surprising okay so those plug in
3:37
Via a three 35 mm Jack okay so then we have
3:42
our power cable that plugs into our power brick and let's get further along
3:47
into the unboxing so all you're going to find at the bottom here is the subwoofer
3:51
okay the subwoofer is a very important part of any 2.1 system it is the 0.1 and
3:58
that is what is going to give you all of the kick that you get out of that
4:02
speaker system so let's just get this
4:05
out of the little baggies okay blow it
4:08
off okay so on the top you'll find a metal stylized power button okay so
4:13
that's like a brushed aluminum surrounded in a glossy black all right
4:17
then this is the front of the subwoofer so you can see what the whole setup is
4:21
meant to look like when it's all together so it's kind of two slim towers
4:25
and then like a triangular looking subwoofer okay in terms of con activity
4:30
actually why don't we start with a close look down this kind of this Gap right
4:35
here so you can see this is a down firing subwoofer so there are technical
4:40
reasons for that although I couldn't tell you exactly what they are but it is
4:43
supposed to produce a more desirable sound as far as bass is concerned and
4:48
even some speakers actually the makos which I unboxed recently use all
4:51
downward firing speakers on the back you have a base
4:55
control knob you also have the port that
4:59
gets the from the control knob and then
5:02
we also have a line in a speaker out and
5:06
a 1.8 volt in so that's your power input
5:09
thank you for checking out my unboxing of the edifier multimedia
