Purchased these for my desktop pc setup. Cannot beat these for the price, sound better than my previous harmon kardon stix 3. Nice full sound and bass is clear and present. Easy to setup and the remote is a nice touch. Not going to shake the house, but gets pretty loud and has better imaging than a soundbar in my opinion. Also output to add a subwoofer down the road.

These speakers blew me away. I got these on sale for $100 and wow they sound amzing way better than than $100 they look amazing in my setup and sound amazing. They have dials on the side that can change the volume, bass and trebble making adjusting it super convinet. I have thse plugged into my amp and have had 0 issues. When I turn the bass up and blast them they vibrate. Amazing speakers for the price. I wouldnt look any further they also get plenty loud and I find myself using this all the time when i watch movies on my computer. HIGHLY RECCOMEND THESE SPEAAKERS

For about twenty years, I've had the same radio, with low quality speakers. When I made the decision to get a record player, I wanted to look for some speakers. I wanted something that cost a pretty penny, but not too expensive. This was the product that I came across.
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING RIGHT NOW
I absolutely love these speakers. and too my surprise (and maybe its the way my apartment is built, not sure)
I can turn up the music a fair volume, and it will not cross over to the next room. After turning up the volume until the bass was knocking on my walls, I decided to walk out of the room, close the door, and the other room is not effected.
HOW? Has speakers always been like this and I'm just now realizing it? Either way, I recommend this products. If this was Oprah's favorite things, these speakers would make the list.

We LOVE these speakers! We got them for our record player and they are aesthetically pleasing and work beautifully. Easy to connect and set up, comes with a tiny, useful remote (that lets you mute!). Great sound for our 1 bedroom apartment.

I’ve been using the Edifier speakers for a few months now, and they’ve been excellent. The sound quality is clear, well-balanced, and surprisingly powerful for their size—great for music, movies, and even light mixing. Setup was super simple; I had them plugged in and working within minutes. The build quality also feels premium, and they look great on my desk. Highly recommend if you're looking for reliable bookshelf speakers that won’t break the bank.

I purchased these monitor speakers with low expectations several months ago. But their accuracy and sound clarity greatly exceeded my expectations. Details:
I have a few seats on my network, at one of which I read. I had put in a SONOS system there, almost $one large. But it was temperamental and glitchy, and one speaker lost all treble. So, I was looking for a replacement, expecting about a $500 purchase. But $130? I have large Logan-Martins for AV: five star they are in spades. But these little guys? Maybe 5 x 10 inches in front. However, a lot of Edifier R1280T users gave convincing recommendations for these bookshelves, so I tried them out.
They were packaged nicely, and the setup instructions were clear. Only one of the two speakers is powered and requires 110 V, That spkr drives the other via speaker cable. It also comes with a 3.5 mm TRS cable to connect to the source - here a high'ish-end ASUS gaming Windows 11-Pro laptop.
The powered box also has a set of controls: bass, treble and volume knobs and on-off switch. There is also about six feet of wound-wire-tipped speaker cable, guessing 14-16 gauge. Since I have the speakers set about eight feet apart, I had to use another cable, 10 AWG.
The sound has good dispersion and L/R separation. A surprisingly good bass for the size. These Edifiers are perfect for mellow jazz or acoustic background - and medium volume R&R.
So-called "reference speakers" are not designed for high volume and this pair follows this axiom. I'd guess about 80 dB max. with full O/S and speaker gains. The frequency controls do not have a great dynamic range, but OK for their purpose. The product could come with a little longer speaker wire too.
In short, fine speakers for their price and purpose. Note: I was neither compensated for this review, nor was I requested to provide it. I just like the product!
I would recommend this to a friend

Great speakers, especially for a vinyl set up! I have zero complaints about these speakers. The sound quality is excellent, the price was fair, and the set up was simple. If you're on the fence about these, make the purchase!

Just got these speakers 2 days ago, they just keep getting better as they break in. Took a chance based off all the reviews.
They exceeded my expectations for the price.
I'm mainly using them for music from my Mac.
They are very clean sounding with more detail then I thought they'd have. You can really hear the nuances in various types of recordings. Nice, tight and punchy, no mussy bass and they seem to have a fairly flat response. Plenty of volume for my small studio apartment. I do recommend lifting them up a bit from what ever surface you will place them on , to prevent the low from coupling with the surface. Use them within their means and you won't be disappointed. I absolutely recommend these for the price.

These book shelf speakers are exactly what I was looking for. I use them on my desk connected to my gaming laptop with a DAC and preamp. They replaced a pair of deprecated Bose desktop speakers and what a difference! The base response is unbelievable coming from book shelf speakers. I also appreciate the individual knobs on the side for treble, bass, and volume. I’m definitely happy with this purchase and would recommend them for anyone who is looking for quality speakers at a reasonable price.

Got speakers for my sons bday as he is now into records. The record player I got him didn’t come with speakers. Saw these first in Amazon and then saw they were at Best Buy. Not only were these cheaper at Best Buy but the person that helped us also pointed out that he had them for his record player!! I had to remember how to set up speakers like back in the day but it was easy to setup AND THE SOUND IS AMAZING!!! So worth the price and then some!! Also if you are a total member like myself it comes with the warranty for 2 yrs if something happens

The dual audio inputs was a nice touch but it would have been nice if there was a switcher. The included remote was a nice touch as well, though a source switch would have been eelcome here. Overall the response was deeper than I expected and the sound quality punches above its weight.

Nice clear sound. Missing a bit of the mid-range clarity but still crystal clear. Has some nice bass to them also. Simple set up. If you want better sound then i would go to one of the higher end models of the series. Very satisfied and exactly what i was looking for to listen to my vinyl through. You wont be disappointed.

I’m using these for gaming, YouTube, Netflix, et cetera. These are great for that; the sound quality is surprisingly good for the price and the speakers look nice on my desk. Very pleased with them.
