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.

    Bought this for my wife and paired it with an Audio-Technica turntable. If someone tells you that vinyl sounds better, believe them! These speakers are easy to setup and even come with a remote to adjust the volume. Dials on the sides of one allow you to adjust the base, treble, and volume levels. Worth every penny!

    This thing is worth the money. I bought a razer soundbar expecting it to be worthwhile and after hearing these speakers I instantly returned the soundbar and grabbed these puppies. Great range and if you aren't careful you'll upset your apartment neighbors!

    Love these! I got them for my vinyl record player and they sound amazing and were easy to hook up. I love the wood look, so cute.

    Great speakers for my turntable. I think for their price point you can’t ask for much more. Having a remote to control them from across the room is also super nice!

    Can't beat the price. CD quality excellent...streaming online I sometimes tweak the sound using my Windows Dolby EQ for added brightness and detail. Vocals very present.

    A friend suggested I try bookshelf speakers instead of my usual 2.1 speaker setup for my PC, and these really get the job done! I'm very happy with the robust sound quality, and there's plenty of bass so a subwoofer is unnecessary.

    These speaker has great sound to them and it is good to see speakers that give you control of the sound quality you want from speakers. Even though the prices of the speakers have gone up I still find it is still worth the price.

    I wasnt sure what to think going into these. I had a set of Bose on my laptop for the past few years. They were clean sounding but I figured maybe something newer and bigger would givw me some more sound. These did! Super clean sound. Well built. Theyre heavy and good looking. If I turn them up half way, i hear them everywhere in my 2 bedroom house.

    I have my speakers hooked up to a Chromebox and 24-inch monitor in my kitchen. The sound is incredible. I find myself listening and watching video in my kitchen as opposed to my high-end audio system. Very nice rich sound with good bass. There is no noticeable distortion even at high volume. I hope they are built to last a long time.

    These speakers may be small but they are mighty. Great highs, great lows. Attached them to a turntable I purchased and they worked great. Easy to use. Comes with cables to attach to your computer as well. Awesome!!!

    Very good quality sound, easy set up, and they look fantastic. 10/10 would purchase again. I like that you can adjust on the fly with the knobs on the side of the right speaker.

    So glad I got these for my office setup. I have a LG Ultrawide 36” monitor that needed speakers and these were exactly what I needed. The quality has been great for all my uses, music, videos and gaming. Good lows and great highs. A gift card given to me helped make the value even sweeter. Buy it already!
