R1280T Powered Bookshelf Speakers - 2.0 Active Near Field Studio Monitor Speaker - Wooden Enclosure - 42 Watts RMS Power

Amazing Speakers for the Price! I honestly didn’t expect these to be this good. The Edifier R1280T look really nice in person — the wood finish and overall design make them look way more expensive than they actually are. They fit perfectly on my desk and give off that clean, modern vibe without taking up too much space. Sound-wise? Crazy good. The audio is super clear, the bass hits just right without drowning everything out, and the highs stay crisp even when I turn them up louder than I probably should. I’ve never owned speakers at this price point that sound this balanced. For how cheap they are, the quality feels unreal. They don’t feel “budget” at all — from the build, to the sound, to the little remote that comes with them. If you want great-looking speakers with amazing sound without spending a ton, these are 100% worth it. I don't think there is bluetooth or anything. But the Lifespan seems really good and again.. The Functionality is there!

Punchy bass! Great, clear audio! Volume is excellent and controlled via the right speaker or a handy remote. I would definitely buy these again! They fit perfectly in my record table cabinets which are not very large and look beautiful. Super easy to use and setup!

Love the sound with these speakers. Can't really beat it at this price point, in my opinion. Easy to set up, multiple inputs, small footprint, it's everything I was hoping it would be. I currently have both an Alexa and a record player plugged into the speakers.

Ok, I've been using them for nearly a year and absolutely no complaints. They sound good, I'm not an audiophile or anything, but this is more than enough. And they look GREAT, I love their design. If you're looking for something eye-catching and relatively cheap, this is perfect.

Nice little speakers. Sound is not extremely crisp.. just slightly muddy. SLIGHTLY....they are adequate for a TV and a milion times better than the TV speakers. They do not compare to my Logitec THX speakers, but also are much cheaper. Would I buy again. Yup for the right Job ... to make a television sound acceptable. THEY ARE NOT MONITOR QUALITY, but I'm picky. Is there something better for the price... probably not. Buy em... great for a TV a kids room, Better than many sound bars

Edit update: June 4th 2018. First I am raising the speakers from 3 1\2 to 5. Let me state how important it is to let these wonderful little speakers brake in. I can not believe the increase in sound quality and highs, mids and lows in just a matter of 2 days. I decided not to delete my review below as I can imagine that many people will have the same issues I had below. You have thirty days to return these to amazon and unless you have a another serious issue with these then please give them time to brake in. I am now very pleased and highly recommend them to anyone. 06-02-2018, First I want to state what I do not expect from a hundred set of speakers: I do not expect them to thump. For gosh sake if you want them to thump then spend the money and get bigger speakers. Would you expect a hundred dollars set of car speakers to thump? No you would not. I also do not expect to get more then what I paid for. For example, I did not pay extra for Blue Tooth therefore I do not expect the speakers to have Blue Tooth. Please read the specs before you buy. I do not expect a 42 watt amp to pump out 200 watts and I do not expect to turn Edifiers all the way up and for them not to distort. I guess I want those that read this review to understand that I what I want is to be reasonable with my review. Pros: Packed and protected very well and everything was present and accounted for. Who ever boxed these did it with care. Easy and intuitive to hook up. There is no reason to pay extra for a pro to hook these up for you, seriously a five year old could do it. Plenty of power for a computer or a small room with a nice warm base sound. The Edifier R1280T's have a nice solid and reasonably heavy feel to them. Unlike many others who have reviewed these, I like the small remote. Bottom line is the speakers look really good and go well will my old school teachers oak desk. The wood paneling on the speakers looks good and close to real. Cons: Speakers lack clear highs. I own the Sounblaster X-Fi sound card, so I am not using a cheap sound device built into the motherboard. My aux RCA jack on the Edifier speakers is also hooked up to my old Teac real to real, which produces outstanding analog sound, so my source is clean. Even after going in and adjusting my treble in my sound cards drivers in my computer, the highs just could not clear up and sound crisp. This is a major con and one of the reasons why I am on the fence to recommend these speakers, besides my disappointment. Last, the base and treble controls just do not do much other then spin. There may be a very small amount of difference between moving the controls up and down but the controls do nothing to help boost my highs. Bottom line, all speakers need to be herd before you buy and all us old stereo dudes know this. However in today's buying environment that is very hard to do. The speakers do not sound bad and in fact I am going to keep them, I just wish they were more clear. Recommend If you are not that picky. However, if you are then maybe you need to look at the, two hundred and fifty dollar or higher, pair of Edifiers. 3 1\2 stars leaning more towards the 4 star side. I will follow up if need be.

Wow! These speakers sound AMAZING! I have a simple Victrola turntable that I got for Christmas, and the sound was mediocre. I decided to buy these speakers after much research, and I am beyond pleased!! They sound so good my husband commented that he can’t even tell we are listening to a vinyl record anymore. Great quality for the price point, and they were super easy to set up. Nice size to sit beside my turntable, too. Love them!!!

The Edifier R1280T speakers have been a fantastic addition to my setup. These bookshelf speakers deliver rich, clear sound with impressive depth for their price range. The 4-inch bass driver and 13mm silk dome tweeter provide a well-balanced audio experience that works perfectly for both music and movies. The sound is detailed without being overwhelming, offering a warm, natural tone that fills the room. One of the standout features is the adjustable tone control on the side panel, allowing me to fine-tune the bass and treble to my preference. The remote control is also a convenient feature, making it easy to adjust volume or switch input sources without getting up. The build quality is solid, with a classic wood finish that looks stylish and professional in any setting. The speakers are compact enough to fit on my desk but still produce excellent sound quality for a variety of content. For the price, the Edifier R1280T speakers are an excellent value, offering clear, balanced sound and flexibility in a beautiful design. They’re ideal for anyone looking for high-quality desktop speakers without breaking the bank. Highly recommended!

Good sound quality for our vinyl turntable

Llevo aproximadamente 3 años con estas bocinas modelo R1280T. En si, el material de construcción de la caja asi como su cono de 4 pulgadas y su twitter son de excelente calidad, los cables son de buena calidad y creo que en lo unico que me quejaria es en el control remoto que para alguien como yo que tiene sus bocinas en el nivel adecuado y las uso en mi ordenador, no es un problema, pero si lo consideras importante puede ser un punto en contra. Tambien es importante destacar que el modelo que es T y no TS, es porque a diferencia del modelo con la letra "S" al final, estas no tienen salida para un subwoofer. Finalmente en la cuestión del sonido. Estas son bocinas amplificadas que no necesitan de un amplificador, pero son hechas para lugares de espacios pequeños a medianos, ya que son bocinas de fidelidad y no sonideras, por lo que no te esperes que hagan ruido hasta la esquina de tu cuadra. Las bocinas en general tienen un sonido base bastante plano, lo que es muy bueno y que podemos jugar con los dB de los agudos y los graves que se encuentran en la bocina que tiene el amplificador. Esto hara que cambie bastante la manera en la que suenan. En cuanto a los agudos, tienen unos agudos muy controlados, que no llegan a molestarte inclusive en niveles altos de sonido, los medios sin lugar a dudas se desempeñan excelente, tienen una cercania en las voces muy buena, y en cuanto a los graves, son graves que se desempeñaran bien para aquel que no quiere que retumbe su casa, no se acartonan inclusive en frecuencias de 40hz, pero no tienen tanta expansión ya que tenemos un driver de 4 pulgadas, que en ocasiones puede viciarse con las frecuencias medias bajas y haga que el sonido se sature. Estas bocinas donde mas brillan es cuando las acompañamos con un crossover o tarjeta de audio que nos permita acompañarlas con un subwoofer y si es necesario para tu oido, ecualizar. Yo las tengo conectadas a mi PC con una tarjeta de sonido dedicada soundblaster ZSE, donde tengo configurado un sistema 2.1, osea 2 bocinas y 1 subwoofer con el punto de corte de las frecuencias graves en 80Hz hacia abajo para el subwoofer. De esta forma las bocinas ya no se viciaran con esas frecuencias graves y las medias bajas, dando un sonido mas uniforme y de mucha mejor calidad. Ademas de que en el software tengo ligeramente elevadas las frecuencias agudas y graves para mi odio. Sin lugar a dudas cuando las bocinas estan acompañadas por un subwoofer y podemos hacer el crossover se vuelven mucho mejores que solas. Si te consideras una persona mas exigente definitivamente te recomiendo hacer esta configuración, si no lo eres creeme que el sonido de ambas bocinas solo, cumplira totalmente tus expectativas

Absolutely fantastic speakers!!! Like other reviewers wrote, I can’t believe the audio quality through these small and inexpensive beauties, I’m in audio heaven! Also delivery was faster than expected and via a good courier. I’d only like to mention the speakers I received are clearly US/Canada and my bf had to rush to the shop to get a plug converter as they have a USA plug, but it was a very minor inconvenience :) online warranty registration went smoothly too
