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.

    Excellent sound from a small speaker. Great quality and I wish I had found these earlier before I spent money on speakers that I didn't like.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    These are exactly what I was looking for. A reasonably priced decent sized speaker with excellent sound that looked good on my desk. The remote is an added bonus.

    My hearing is going bad and I could not understand voices on TV shows clearly (have a sound bar) so I got these and put on my headboard. As a bonus I have Alexa hooked to them as well (they have 2 inputs). Sound is much better than my sound bar and I can now hear the voices clearly. As well I now use Alexa to play music at night while I fall to sleep (the speaker in Alexa is garbage)
