Customers are saying

Customers love the R1280T Powered Bookshelf Speakers for their amazing sound quality and clean bass. Many appreciate the speakers' ease of use, perfect size for desks, and appealing appearance. The inclusion of a remote control is also a favorite feature. The only drawback mentioned is the absence of Bluetooth connectivity.

    Great basic speakers. Have good adjustment and sound good for the large variety of vinyl I have from classic rock to hip hop. I'm not an audiophile but they sound great to me.

    Recently bought a new record player but i wanted better sound quality. Look at the reviews for the speakers and decided to purchase them. Best decision ever. For the price of the speakers the sound quality is very good and it also comes with a remote, speaker wires, and aux wires. I easily hard wire the speakers to my player and I'm now enjoying listening to my albums even more.

    Great Sound From Small Speakers

    These speakers look and sound great. They are the perfect size for adding quality sound to my bedroom head-board shelf where they are connected to an Internet-radio receiver. The only thing I wish they had added was a balance control. These speakers replaced smaller and less powerful (4 watts) Edifier speakers that I had for many years. This was an excellent upgrade that significantly improved my music-listening enjoyment

    Nice sounding speaker for size. Decent bass and good treble. Smooth sound. They are quite good looking. Using them at my computer desk. My only real complaint is the rear power switch. Should at least be on the side with volume, etc.

    Best Budget Desktop Speakers on the Market

    Bought this for my partner as it is, in my opinion, one of the best budget bookshelf/desktop speakers out there. Although it does require some EQ adjustment to bring out the potential of these speakers, once it is the sound quality is incredible.

    I used to have a set of Bose computer speakers and they were okay, but I was ready to move up the ladder on sound reproduction. I have a small room from which my computer sits and so I knew that I really didn't need to blow out the windows, but with the fine tuning these have, I would more than welcome the sound that they produced. Just the information sheets state, the bass and mid's are of the best quality for these nice looking speakers. I was very enthusiatic about the sound that would be coming into the room with my computer that was hand made by one of my nephews that used to work for Microsoft, so I knew he knew what he was doing when it came to towers. So, after rearranging my wiring, I got them hooked up and slid in a cd and off I went to the sounds of 3rd Force, (instrumental) music.. I started out at a 3 level, then slowly moved on up the scale until it was blasting out and my ears couldn't take it. I moved the bass and treble around and found a good curve to hold it to. There is not a lot of adjustment to make with the knobs, but I have a stereo equalizer with the system and can adjust them a little better. They sound great. I really don't like highs, so that didn't bother me, as much as it does with not being able to set the bass and mid's. They look good and sound better. I am happy I made this choice.

    Considering I’ve been using TVs for monitors and using those internal speakers, this is definitely an upgrade. The sound is clear and bass is decent. It does the job.

    Sound good and are easy enough to set up for a turntable. Also doesn't look too bad, and the remote makes them convenient.

    Used these as a replacement to my old junk computer speakers. I didn't realize how awful my old audio was until I hooked these speakers up! There is plenty of volume, the highs are crisp, and the bass is great. I'm sure that a 2.1 system with a dedicated subwoofer might have more bass, but these speakers have plenty for my needs.

    I needed to upgrade my computer speakers. My budget was limited but after several weeks of research, I settled on these. I am delighted with them. They have a wide dynamic range, a nice mid-range, and the bass response is excellent. It far surpasses my previous set's subwoofer. Well worth the money!

    For $100 bucks I don't think you can find much better than these. I tried the Bose Companion 2 Series III speakers and ended up returning them and buying these. Much better quality and sound and comes with a remote. http://digitalstereophony.blogspot.com/2016/12/bose-companion-2-iii-mackie-cr3-and.html
