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 bought these to hook up to my turntable. The sound is great but doesn’t get as loud as I thought they would. I think that maybe if I were to purchase the next series up then maybe it would be better. Overall it has a good sound for the money.

    Great computer speakers/small turntable speakers

    Best cheap speakers you can buy. Better than anything you can get for 3 times the price. In addition to being great computer or digital media plug in speakers, these work really well as both the speakers and amplifier for a turntable set up for smaller spaces. You just need a phono preamp if your turntable doesn’t have one built in.

    Best Bang For Your Buck

    I used to be a music producer and had some pretty nice studio monitors in the past. Due to this experience in my life, I'm very picky about the sound quality in speakers and headphones. These are without a doubt the best bang for your buck. Reading the reviews made me believe it but was still hesitant. Wasn't until I plugged them in and tested them which was when I was genuinely blown away. The feel and look of them is impressive. I'm still shocked that these are only $99. Speaker covers look nice, but they look even better with the cover off! Highly recommended!!

    These just look great on the desk — so much better than other plastic looking speakers. The sound is perfect.

    Solid Sound and Price

    Good quality and good price. If you're needing something to hook up to your turntable and don't want to break the bank - these are it. Plus they sound great. You'll probably be surprised how much bass you can get out of these too (which you can adjust if you want). They can last you a while or if you do decide to upgrade to a much pricier set up in the future, you won't be out tons of money.

    Used this for my monitor in the room and its good enough to say they’re better than the monitor speakers. Nothing too loud but just the right volume when watching some videos or playing a quick game whenever you don’t wanna use headphones. Wouldn’t recommend if you’re looking for something to blast some music with you’ll be disappointed but they do have good quality for the price.

    Great speakers. (Edifier, not very helpful)

    I like these speakers a lot. Excellent sound for the price. (I think nothing compares with these for anywhere near the price.) However, I did have some issues. These are the second pair; the first pair became completely imbalanced after a week (i.e., full sound in the right speaker, almost no sound in the left speaker). Edifier was of no help, but Best Buy was wonderful! I just had to assume that systems sometimes fail, and since I liked them so much, I decided to do an exchange. Best Buy made this soooo simple (I didn't even have the original box they came in). It's 2022 ... why are they still using those annoying spring-loaded wire clips instead of something more useful like, for example, banana plugs.

    It was a brilliant speaker. It’s perfect for anything really but I used it for a turntable and it worked great

    I use these for both my PC and Turntable. Fantastic sound for the price. The quality control appears to be very good as well; all the seams around the speakers are tight and don’t feel cheap.
