Review: *Edited to add information about the subwoofer output. **Upgraded rating from 4 to 5 Stars. Explanation at end. This appears to be a slightly updated version of the popular and widely reviewed R1280t speaker. There are hundreds of reviews, both professional and customer, of this speaker on Internet, so I won't rehash them. The primary differences: (1) the addition of a subwoofer connection, with associated circuitry to provide an electronic crossover* when a sub is connected, and (2) addition of a signal-processing feature to create a wider stereo image, and modification of the remote control to add a switch for that feature. I cannot categorically state that the "R1280ts" version sounds identical to the earlier version. The dimensions, driver complement, and design appear to be the same. Specifications also seem to be the same. All indications are that it’s the same acoustically as other “1280” models. Most of the reviews you'll see will conclude with some version of "for the money..." And that's the right way to look at these speakers. They are not the finest powered bookshelf speakers in the land. Not the loudest. Not the bassiest. Not the most extended highs, not the most neutral-sounding. But -- for the money -- they offer more than you might expect. They sound good if you don't turn them up too loud, if you sit reasonably close and don't try to fill the room with sound. They make great computer speakers that will let you hear music without giving up too much bass, or listen to podcasts or news with clarity. **My critique of the sound is that they have a very slightly boxy quality, a lack of the transparency that, to be fair, is usually the hallmark of much more expensive speakers. But at the same time aren't boomy, muffled, harsh, or any of the other flaws that plague most inexpensive speakers. For the money, I believe they offer great bang-for-the-buck. I plan to add a small powered subwoofer soon. If that changes anything about how these speakers sound beyond the obvious, I'll amend this review. *I did add a sub - a Monoprice SSW-8, a "slim" sub with the conventional connections and controls for a home theater sub. I connected the Edifier sub out to the sub's line inputs (requiring a 3.5mm-to-RCA adapter cable; you could use the one that comes with the speakers if you didn't use it already). This setup works well. Extending the bass another octave or more definitely enriches the sound without changing the character of the speakers. It's by no means a necessary or transformative upgrade, but it's worthwhile. *(cont'd) The Edifier sub-out is basically a headphone jack. It is full-range; there is no "crossover." It is affected by all of the controls -- bass, treble, volume -- and, surprisingly, also by the "spacializer." I don't recommend using the spacializer when using a subwoofer. (Using this jack for headphones does not, of course, cut off the speaker sound. There is also something slightly "off" about the full-range sound coming from this port; it seems to lack full separation, and seems somewhat shrill. But it works for the subwoofer just fine.) Because the Edifers lack any way to control the sub out, you will need a sub with volume and crossover-frequency controls, and you probably want to place the sub where those controls remain accessible. I'm using a crossover frequency of about 100Hz, and of course set the volume by ear. Certainly the addition of the sub output at no increase in price is a worthwhile upgrade. It does what it needs to do, and no more. It would have been good to include a low-pass filter, but it's not generally needed. **These speakers seem to benefit very much from extended break-in. After about 50 hours use, the "boxy" quality referred to in the main text has largely disappeared, leaving the sound more natural than it once was. The high end is still just adequate, but overall the sound is acceptably neutral and uncolored, especially for a speaker in this price range. It wouldn't be 5 stars compared to the best bookshelf speakers available, but it doesn't deserve a demerit when compared to its direct competitors.
Review: Me encantan. Aproveché una oferta, y por 2,129 tengo unas bocinas perfectas para mí Imac y mi iPad china. Los materiales se ven de gran calidad y lucen bastante elegantes y premium. Sinceramente, el sonido de los graves me impresionó debido a sus críticas: es muchísimo mejor de lo que esperaba. Sin embargo, ten en cuenta que estas bocinas son para escucharse a una distancia corta, y por consecuencia pues no necesitas un volumen tan alto. La calidad me dejó bastante satisfecho: tiene un sonido bastante equilibrado. Siento que no tienen la calidad de mis Logitech G560 (que tiene mejores agudos y un sonido más envolvente) pero por su tamaño, las Edifier, fácilmente las puedes adaptar en cualquier lugar y no son estorbosas; a cambio de esto, obtienes una excelente calidad de sonido a un precio de locura. Sí tienes un espacio pequeño, y no quieres nada estorboso, estás bocinas son para ti. Definitivamente estás bocinas son mucho mejor de lo que esperaba.

These are a great set of little speakers. I have set up a new office for myself and had some basic requirements for my speakers. They had to be powered, they had to be attractive, they had to sound nice, and they had to connect to each other with standard speaker cable! These speakers check all the boxes. I love the faux walnut finish. The mesh grille has a simple design, and the whole unit is very elegant looking. These are powered, so no need for an amp which is nice. They come with RCA cables, and RCA to 3.5mm, so you can easily hook these into a DAC/reciever or your motherboard. They also have a sub out port, so if I want some more bass later that's an option. These are connected via regular old speaker wire. This was a big one for me, as I have them mounted about halfway up the wall in the corners. I can make a wire as long as I want since they are not hard hard wired together or use some proprietary cable. So my wire goes all the way down to the floor, along the molding, and up to the other speaker, nicely hidden in cable channel. Very nice. (Speaker wire and channel all bought on Amazon very inexpensively!) And as for the sound. They sound fantastic. They're little, but so is my office, and they more than fill the space. Pleasantly surprised by the amount of bass they have without adding a woofer. I can crank them up louder than is comfortable for me, and I don't hear any distortion. They have built in tone controls for bass, and treble, so you have a bit of control over the sound that way to tweak it just right. All in all, I love these speakers. Great sound for the price, attractive looks, and feature rich.
