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

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!

Purchased these after a lot of deliberation between these and the R1700BT. For my kind of liking, I preferred the more spatial sound of the 1280s. I saw a lot of one to one sound reviews on youtube but each time ended preferring these. These are tiny in size but powerful and more than big in sound for their size and use them as my desk top speakes. Being powered, these are plug and play and would form an ideal desktop companion to your pc's. I am amazed at the clarity. I own a bigger set up of Bose 301 + Norge Concert Gold amp. But... But I love these little darlings more due to the clarity. Unfortunately the bose and norge combination is harsh on the treble and over emphasizes the bass. I am also amazed at the consistency of the frequencies both at low and high volumes. Even at full volumes the bass is tight and treble is crystal clear. What hooked me to these speakers was the ability to throw out spatial sound. I use them as a stereo pair and am amazed at their sound stage and presence in my 12x15 ft room. I use logitech bt adapater on one of the RC plugs and have the other for my radio. The pc is hooked via bt to the logitech. There is no need of any switches to switch the inputs. One can play both sources simultaneously. If you are looking for a near field speaker with emphasis on clarity then these suit this need pretty well. You will be amazed at the way these small speakers produce such clear notes which are in the range of around 80% to the notes from speakers around 3-5 times the price of these. That is why these are compared with some of the best bookshelf speakers, although not really in their range. These can pretty well be used for a small home party too as they can get just that loud too. The remote is quiet handy if you use them as TV speakers and sit away from them. The only cons are not related to the sound but the smell these emanate out of the box, the radio interference they have on my radio fm reception, but with an external antenna the problem is solved. If you are confused and ask my opinion between these and the 1700s I will suggest go for the 1280 due to their very high sound to price index. Edit on 4-june-2019- they work fine even today. However I am not sure if it is my ears or what but they sound harsh as they reproduce notes clearly and at near field my ears ache please note.

First of all product is little bit expensive. But it worth it expending on it It's been 3-4 years I am using it regularly with smart tv voa bluetooth. performance is mind blowing bluetooth connectivity is just fine because sometimes I need to connect it manually. Remote control is cheep quality because it is light weight and very small in size

i purchased these in 2018 and since then these are working flawlessly. The sound clarity is crisp and clear . i am in love with these. Perfect for a mid size room. Only has 3.5 mm connectivity and Aux .

I'll try to keep this review short and to the point. I purchased these to be used with my desktop for music, movies and games. The build quality is great, the knobs provided for Bass, treble and volume are of good quality but they could have been better. Same goes for the remote. Coming to the Sound quality, Mids and treble are lively and great. Bass is awesome upto 50 Hz, can push down low up to 40 but starts losing its punch below it and is non existent below 35Hz. One thing I noticed that these speakers got better with some burn in, specially the bass response. I decided to purchase these after being fed up with the mid and lower mid response of my 2.1 speaker system. And after spending a good two months with the system I have to say I'm extremely happy with my purchase. If you are someone who likes a LOT of bass then this one probably isn't for you but if you prefer clear mids and scintillating highs with a bass to complement the two, then this speaker is what you are looking for. Keep in mind that this speaker does not have bluetooth built in, but it can easily be added using a bluetooth audio receiver because the speakers has two separate pair of RCA inputs at the back.

Its the best bang for the buck. The sound quality is very good (perhaps the best one can get in this budget..I haven't listened to better quality speakers in this price range..let me know if you have). Doesn't sound at all like 2.1 computer speakers which always compensate for lack of clarity by having loud, boomy and just-plain-noisy bass. It gets loud enough to be adequate for large rooms and halls (of course in halls you have to atleast cover up the walls in drapes so that sound doesn't reflect and create echoes). For audiophiles, they need to sit at right,sweet spot or try adjusting the speaker to various positions, to hear the best stereo effect from both speakers. I have listened to a lot of 2.1 cheaper computer speakers during my college years, but this just straight up beats them. And not just in clarity but in the bass department too. These small looking speakers have surprisingly very tight, punchy and deep bass. Of course it isn't as deep as an external subwoofer system would be, but speaker systems with a subwoofer in this price range lack the tightness and punch (which makes the bass enjoyable in the first place). Still the bass in this is more than needed. So much that I can feel the rumble of a car engine when its revved. That too even at very low volume levels! Needless to say it handles high frequencies without any sweat. Instrumentals sound great, and even better when I turn the bass knob down and the treble up. My suggestion: If you have the budget for it, don't hesitate even a bit. Rather you will be pleasantly satisfied if it even falls a little outside your budget. Other pros: The wires are long enough. Plus the remote comes in handy sometimes. Cons: No Bluetooth on this version (Bluetooth version is costlier than it should be at the moment of writing this review). So I had to buy a Logitech bluetooth receiver for around ₹1-1.5k. Plus it would have been a good idea to have a mechanically controlled volume knob instead of digital, so that one can pinpoint the lowest and highest volume settings.

OK - you need to work with it a little. It is a surprisingly powerful pair of speakers. I REALLY wish it had Bluetooth, but then again, I am not sure I miss it. Why? Because on my work table, this sounds like a dream. I have bought 2.1 speakers, home theatres, and higher-end 2.0s. Yes, the F&D T60x is a LOT more powerful, but then again, that weighs about 9kg for each speaker, while these weigh less than 5kg together, not to mention that the edifiers are about one-fifth the size of the Fenda T60X. Not to get ahead of myself here, but you have to: 1. Allow the speakers to break in - they'll take a week. 1.5. Use lower gauge (thicker) speaker wire - you'll get decent stuff by Amazon basics. 2. Resist pumping the bass to the fullest - it'll only make the bass boom. For each type of room, there's a sweet spot of great sound. 3. Try not to play them loud. They stand at 9.5" tall - you bought a pair of GREAT speakers, but they are small - which means their drivers are small, which in turn means that they won't perform well if you keep pushing them past their limits. Find a song with a good spread of frequencies - from lows to mids to highs - play it at different volumes, find your sweet spot, and voila! You have your speakers set up. 4. Just because they seem a little expensive doesn't make them "loud" speakers. They perform brilliantly in a smallish room - about 120-150 square feet at the most. 5. Remember - it has a subwoofer out. Do Not forget that. Connect a sub if you want to push the speakers - YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. Well, if you're buying the edifier and a subwoofer, you gotta ask yourself if you'd rather not buy something bigger, instead - the edifier sub and the R1280T together cost less than the F&D T60. But I'll tell you this. The R1280T actually sounds better. DESPITE the size difference. Strange, but it's actually true. I bought the T60 - I bought the R1280T for a friend. I gave her my T60 and kept this. That's actually how good this little minx is.

How's the sound Quality?: The midrange is clean, however the higher frequencies and the lower frequencies are not that clear. In slow paced music, the speaker sounds great. But for fast-paced genres like rock etc., it sounds muddier, which forces me to switch it off. In my Koss porta-pro, these songs sound really sweet, but Edifier R1280T gives me headache with them. Remote Control: Works only if you point it directly towards the left speaker. It doesn't respond in all directions unlike some other remotes like that of Tatasky. Is it value for money?: I really don't know. But, given the so many great online reviews, it could be. Something better than these speakers would actually cost a lot more. Return policy: Even though Amazon says, it is returnable, it is not. It can only be returned in case, you received a defective/ damaged product. This does not make sense, as one would ask for replacement in that case. One would like to return only if he is not satisfied with the sound quality. There is no other reason possible. This is why, this product is actually NOT returnable. So, if you are buying, make sure, that you know how it sounds, or be prepared to accept it, however it sounds. If you can buy offline, please do, because, in that case, you can listen in person, before purchasing. I had inquired from both the sellers Edifier online retailer, as well as ProAudioHome. Both agreed, that I can return speakers on this basis, but, Amazon denied my return request. Edit: Review after 20 days: If you use equalizer in your laptop/phone/audio device and turn down base by 3dB for all frequencies below 240Hz, this speaker sounds crystal clear. All the muddy base is gone. You can keep the knobs for bass and treble on the speaker in the middle. No need to change that.

Excelentes altavoces. Suenan mejor que los m60 por el simple hecho de ser cableados. Son muy buenos altavoces de entrada para el hifi, los puedes conectar a un Dac para sacarle el máximo provecho e igual con archivos hires como los flac. A mi parecer tienen los graves un poco altos pero puedes ajustar los graves y agudos en los propios altavoces ya que traen sus perillas de frecuencias. El único punto que mejoraría es el control. Ya que no hay alguna forma de cambiar la canción(la siguiente o la anterior) solo hay botones para silenciar, subir y bajar el volumen. Sin embargo, hay veces que no responde al presionar el botón. Dejando de lado eso muy buenos altavoces, diría que no hay algunos mejores por el precio

These days its harder to find a set of speakers that are good, for a cheap price. It seemed like all the speakers I was looking for under a hundred, were so cheaply made, that they break within a year as according to reviews. I already have a couple of large speaker systems that slam the bass so hard, that the walls in the house shake, great for watching movies! I just needed a couple of amplified speakers to hook up to my cell phone, to listen to music, while I am sleeping. These speakers are really well made, the 2-way drivers are quality, the wooden paneling is beautiful. The port connections on the back are solid, and the controls on the right speaker are real nice. These speakers actually come with a RCA to 3.5mm adapter for use with small devices, which was really nice of them, and hooking them up was easy as well. One of the reasons why I chose this model, was for its remote control, that way I don't have to get out of bed, in order to turn them up or down. Treble, Bass, and Volume are located on the right speaker, and the remote operates volume up/down and mute function. If your looking for the ultimate in sound quality, these are not it. Even with the treble turned all the way up, there is a clear lack of high frequencies production, as compared to other speakers more expensive then these. Infact, the next model up from Edifier, produce better highs, as heard from audio reviews on Youtube, in comparison to these. However, where the next model up lacks in bass production, this model shines. These speakers have so much bass, that even if you turn the bass down, your still hearing bass. And if you crank the bass all the way up, and crank the volume up, they will amaze you as to what they can do, for only a 4" driver! Since I use them while sleeping, I keep the bass down. But in testing I had the bass cranked up, and they really sound nice for what they are. What really blew me away however, was how good the separation is on these speakers. Most cheap speakers I ever owned lacked in proper separation. When I listen to tracks which are true stereo, the music really sounds amazing, and I still can't believe that these little speakers are capable of producing better separation, then my large 10" driver AAL speakers, or my 5.1 surround sound system. Keep in mind however, always match your speaker size to your room size. The reason these sound amazing for me, is my bedroom is only a 15' by 15' room. If you want speakers to fill a 18' by 25' living room or larger, I would recommend the Edifier S1000DB speakers. These speakers do have removable grills, but because of the strange placement of the drivers, I think the speakers look better with the grills on. I am also noticing a pattern with modern devices using these mini remote controls now that use expensive lithium batteries. I would prefer a standard size remote control that uses AAA batteries instead. I highly recommend these speakers 5 out of 5! UPDATE: December 6th 2018 I wanted to quickly give an update on my speakers, since its been over a year since my review. These speakers are still doing excellently! They have not shown any signs in wear, both cosmetically, and in operation. They still sound great as they did when new, and I have been using them literally every single day since I got them. For the money they are a good buy, I still recommend them. 5 out of 5 stars.

These speakers looks great, sound great, have ample connectivity options, feel solid, are easy to set up and come with a remote and removable grilles. Had I bought these for about $250, I'd still be quite happy with them. I bought 2, one for my PC and one for the TV my wife plays DDR on. She's hearing notes in songs she didn't know were there. The bass slam makes it more fun for her to play. On my PC I spent a good time positioning them for good center image and clarity and adding EQ, which it doesn't need a lot of. I find the mids slightly recessed so vocals sound slightly veiled out of the box, and the treble just needs a little tinkering to sound more natural to my ears. I try to give the subbass a slight boost (rolls off below 50hz, inaudible below 30hz) but it's a bit delicate to not make the bass sound too boomy, as they're not shy on bass. They honestly don't need the EQ for most people, it's just like extracting a little extra performance. I don't recommend adjusting the knobs on the side past about 1.5-2 out of the max 6 setting. You're going to get into clipping and boomy territory pretty quick. They sound quite nice overall, particularly with movies and orchestral style music. Dynamics and imaging are quite solid. Bass has good slam and body. Clarity is great for the price, but obviously not high end. These are just well rounded and not obviously disappointing in any way. Negatives? At the highest 10% or so volume settings you can hear minor white noise if you're close to the speakers. Mine are going through my headphones' preamp first so I really don't need to max the internal power on these ever, and the pair I have hooked up to the TV don't seem to be anywhere near short on power. Mids are just slightly recessed for my tastes. If you're listening to mostly podcasts with these and don't care to tinker with EQ there might be better options. Then again, I usually like a boost around 1k on almost everything I listen to so it might just be me. The construction is solid overall, but there's sometimes small strings of what I assume is hot glue hanging off edges of a component or 2. It's not caked on, and quite easy to clean, a few seconds really. The build absolutely does not feel cheap at all outside of that. They look great and feel solid, and there's nothing flimsy with any components or connectors. I guess the only other gripe I can think of is the volume adjustment is a rotary encoder rather than a potentiometer, but that's a tradeoff of having a remote, and really not the biggest deal. Uh, the power connector is non-removable? Length is fine though. As someone who has daily driver Audeze LDC2cs going through a JDS Atom, these speakers are very impressive for being around $100. I'm not a speaker guy so my experience outside of headphones is limited, but these are extremely fun to listen to and have no glaring disappointments compared to my $1000 headphones. I might buy a 3rd set of these as a gift.

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
