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.

    A reliable set of bookshelf speakers

    This set of bookshelf speakers is a great bang for your buck. The ability to switch from a wired to wireless input makes things much more convenient when switching from my vinyls to the phone, and the addition of having dials to tune in your preferred settings put this above other speakers of similar price points

    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)

    For relatively low cost monitors, these things sound absolutely great. The full range of sound frequencies that come out of them are crisp and easy to pick out. I use them at my computer desk for gaming, music listening and I even connect my guitar set up to them in stereo and it doesn't sound half bad for that either.

    I'm shocked at how good these speakers sound, especially considering the price. I have owned many high end speakers, Martin Logans, Bowers and Wilkins and others that cost 10X or more than these. The sound of these could fool many people into thinking it was coming from brands like those.

    Very nice midrange speakers but the tone controls are a joke. Barely perceptable difference from min to max for both treble and bass. The Bose Companion 2 doesn't do any better. In fact, they rattle if the bass is too low. But if you want to "feel" the bass, you really need a 3-piece system with a woofer. I recommend the Klipsch Promedia 2.1 or the Logitech Z625.

    Speakers are amazing quality. this is a steal! Easy to hook up to my gaming pc, sound amazing and look great. There is not a way to mute on the physical speaker dial. You can only mute w/ remote. Which is annoying.

    I bought these speakers for barn to play with an old set up! Hook up was easy and sound is great! I also love the detail they put into them with the woodgrain look! Overall a great speaker set! I didn't need bluetooth but if you do these DO NOT have it!
