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.

    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.

    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 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!!!

    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!

    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!

    I was gonna be the bose equivalent until reading the reviews and I'm glad I didn't bother as these speakers are a real treat. Everything you need to setup is in the box and super easy. The sound is loud, clear and with a nice resonance to it. I'm no deep dive audiophile but I can tell good from crap and these are as good as your gonna get for $100.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Big quality sound in a small speaker. The separate controls on side of speaker for controlling bass, volume etc gives you a more customized sound.

    I have these for my record player, they are amazing and don't feel like they get much recognition. Extremely loud, the bass and it sounds so clear. Perfect for a record player set up.

    For the price, these speakers are great. Wood-look finish makes for a clean aesthetic in any office setup. Ability to adjust bass and treble are a plus. Speakers are loud and clear.

    Honestly I wasn’t expecting much because of the price, but these speakers are amazing. If you need a set of speakers that sound great and look great these are the ones for you. I use these for my record player and for my laptop. Only wish I had paid extra and gotten the ones with bluetooth.

    I was a little skeptical of such a small speaker with no sub on the side, but man when I heard them I was knocked off my feet. the tone is good the sound is rich and warm the bass is deep and smooth. These speakers should cost twice as much for the sound you get out of them. I have already recommended them to another friend.

    Paired these with an Insignia turntable as a gift this Christmas, and was impressed! Great sound for such a small package, and no problems filling a medium sized living room.
