The virtual surround sound and 270° coverage makes you feel like you’re the main character, but you know what the best part is? That’s not even the #1 reason to buy the speakers — leave that to the reactive RGB lighting that synchronizes with the sound. Without further ado, let me take you through my initial verdict on the G2000 Pro.

Mesmerizing, reactive lighting

Each of the Edifier G2000 Pro speaker sports a transparent case so you can see parts that look like jet engines inside. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, yes, but I think the speakers look extremely cool. The “jet engines” feature RGB strips with TempoFlow lighting technology, which is basically a fancy term for a dynamic lighting effect where the RGB synchronizes with the sound playing from your device — whether that’s music or video games.
The RGB effects can be fully customized via the HECATE Gaming Center software (available on Windows only at the time of writing), and you’ll need to dive into it to enable the reactive lighting — I wish it were directly adjustable via the ‘G’ button on the left speaker, and I’m surprised it isn’t. Anyway, once I got that set up and running, it looked fantastic.
The colors changed to red if I attacked an enemy with my katana in Assassin’s Creed: Shadows and the lights danced along with Naoe’s footsteps while running and parkouring across rooftops in feudal Japan. I also appreciate the fact that you can adjust the brightness and contrast of the colors to suit your gaming setup. This has quickly become one of my favorite pairs of speakers, based on the RGB lighting alone.

Main character energy

Visual aesthetics aside — which the Edifier G2000 Pro nails, by the way — are these speakers actually good for gaming? I’ve been using them using the included aux cable plugged into my MacBook Air M2 for listening to music, and connected to my smart TV over Bluetooth to play video games on my PS5 Slim. And they make music and games sound incredible — especially RPGs where immersion is all-important.
These speakers are well-endowed, fitted with 3-inch large-diameter full-range drivers, a digital amplifier for deeper bass, and dual neodymium iron-boron magnets for a well-balanced sound profile. As I mentioned up top, the speakers feature virtual surround sound with 270° coverage, so I felt like the main character in games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Baldur’s Gate 3, and like I was actually behind the wheel in Need for Speed Heat.

I could hear my party members’ banter travel from one speaker to the other depending on my camera’s direction in both Expedition 33 and Baldur’s Gate 3.
In Expedition 33, the orchestral power ballads were balanced well against the sounds of my weapons and attacks landing on enemies. The soundtrack never felt overpowering but it was also loud and clear enough for me to fully appreciate it. While I didn’t find any mention of it on the G2000 Pro’s product page, I noticed a hint of directional audio too, as I could hear my party members’ banter travel from one speaker to the other depending on my camera’s direction in both Expedition 33 and Baldur’s Gate 3.

I’ve also been loving the sound of my car’s engine revving in Need for Speed Heat, and the low rumbles it makes when I stop using the controller and it comes to a standstill. That tells me that the bass and lows are fine-tuned, and it really put me in the driver’s seat.
Looking ahead…

Usually, when I’ve tested computer/TV speakers in the past, like the SteelSeries Arena 3, it has taken me a while to take a shine to them. But with the Edifier G2000 Pro, I remember instantly liking them when a representative reached out to me and offered them for review. I thought they looked uber cool, and I wasn’t wrong when I unboxed them. The RGB lighting strips on the jet engine modules have really won me over.
Oh, and they sound fantastic too, of course. Gaming speakers would be useless if they didn’t make you feel immersed in the game you’re playing. The G2000 Pros’ virtual surround sound and 270° coverage have been working excellently so far, and I can’t wait to play more games on it — I’d take any excuse to start another Baldur’s Gate 3 or Expedition 33 playthrough!
