These sit in different size classes, so this is not a straight ranking comparison. The Edifier S3000Pro ranks #102 of 119 powered bookshelf speakers by sound quality at $900; the Edifier D12 ranks #7 of 29 powered desktop speakers by sound quality at $179.99.
Why pick the Edifier S3000Pro: A large powered pair with digital and analog inputs and tone controls, a complete music system with no separate amplifier needed. Watch for: The substantial cabinet size requires more space than a typical desktop pair.
Why pick the Edifier D12: A stereo desktop speaker in one box with Bluetooth, aux and RCA inputs, and a lot of sound for the money. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Edifier S3000Pro lacks.
Worth knowing: the Edifier S3000Pro has been discontinued and is hard to find new at this point. The Edifier S3000Pro’s replacement, the Edifier S3000MKII, is rated 3.9/5 at $999.97.
Buy the Edifier S3000Pro at $900 if you want a powered bookshelf speaker. Buy the Edifier D12 at $179.99 if you want a powered desktop speaker instead.
