Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently got these monitor speakers for my record player so I can free up space in my AV stand, since using them I noticed a big difference in audio quality from my records! Previously my audio was slightly drowned out, now this 2.0 system cleaned up my sound and improved the bass tones without sacrificing space!

These speakers are truly something special. When i bought them to power the sound of my PS5/xbox series x gaming desk set up; i didnt really expect a ton of soubd from them. However, once i got them set up i was blown away at the output of sound. Devent base with solid mids and highs. Overall tou cant veat them for the price you pay. Pick them up!

I absolutely love these speakers. They have very bold sound and strong bass (I love strong bass personality LOL). I almost went for the Bose one with same price range, I am so glad I did the different thing. Highly recommended.

Good looking elegant bookshelf speakers, great clear sound, surprisingly good bass for the size and price. For smaller room and personal listening it does the job very well. Nicely packaged, good build quality. Overall excellent buy.

i got this to replace my 1980's harmon kardon that has everything sounding like it is in a box echo bass chamber ... hard to understand voice and got sick and tired of it ... . but no more with my new r1280t ... and for the price too even though not on sale .. i decide on this for 2 speakers setup and amp ,, i wanted quality highs and clear voices .. and not for loud blow you away thunder bass .. since i would use my stereo system for that .. i like to also thank all other reviewers here writing .. great sound and clarity .. . when i first hooked up to my windows11 pc ,, it donna work?? .. ha ,, i had to make pc reload the sound driver to recognize this as a high quality sound system and reboot .. and then all evening i was listening to youtube videos of music ,, classical to rock and singing .. all totally enjoyed .. at medium levels.. and will not play to blow out your doors ..

Great quality! Bigger than I thought it would be as well.

Good price to quality ratio. Not the very best. They do look aesthetically pleasing if you like the brown/wood look.

I'm not going to lie, I thought these things were going to be horrible toys. The wood finish and knobs on the side just reminded me of a cheap toy speaker that came with a generic PC. Yes, I saw the reviews of people saying that they were happy with their choice of these speakers. So gave it a shot because I was ready for a bigger presence on my desk than the Audioengine A2s(overpriced $250) that I had. The lack of more filling bass had reached its conclusion with those. So after failing to find any speakers that would go with my setup ( needed to find speakers that had dual RCA connections inputs)...I ran into these at best buy but couldn't test them until I got home. After I got home and first listened, I was totally underwhelmed and was ready to take them back. But then I added my stands with tilt under them and allow them a couple of hours to warm up. After that, the sound started to fill in better and tilt gave it more life. I heard more spacious and directional sounds from them over the A2s and of course more bass, finally. Now I'm sure there are better bass tones from other speakers( I would give them a 7 out of 10 for bass quality) but having the convenience of the dual connection for my DJ Deck and my PC with a remote and separate EQ was starting to grow on me big time. It was so nice not to have to go to my PC or speakers to turn up/down the sound while mixing or having to pull out RCA cables for one, then the other when I was ready to use them. Before I knew it, I was sitting at my computer desk and starting to appreciate more and more with each hour that passed. At the end of the day, I would give this speaker set a 7.5 out of 10. There is beauty found in them for the right needs but they aren't game-changing and yes they could be better, but these are $119 and at that price, you are getting more than what you paid for. So at the end of the day, I believe that is the goal for any tech product, to give back more than what the owner paid for.

I’m sorry how much are these? $100? These sound like they should cost 10x that amount!!! If you’re looking for speakers, don’t wanna spend a lot of money just for sound, and love great sound, GET THESE. My god these are amazing.

[Employee of bestbuy] Affordable, cheap good quality studio monitors with great low end and very loud sound quality. You can crank them up and doesn’t sound distorted. The adjustments for treble and base are not the greatest, though, and you cannot hook up a subwoofer to it, which is a bummer

They are hard to beat for the price. They sound amazing. Without a subwoofer they still have great bass. Music, games, and movies all sound good on them.

Very nice speakers, look great and easy to set up!

I bought these two set up with a turntable on a shelf. They have nice clear sound and a very easy to connect. To do wish that the remote control that comes with them were a bit more sophisticated, as it feels like the volume buttons might just suddenly stop working one day. Otherwise it is a good addition to a relaxed vinyl setup.

Good sound quality and haven't had any issues with reliability. Stylish design, and good build quality. Would recommend to anyone!

The sound is amazing and are well designed. They do not look tacky at all while displayed, they’re the complete opposite.

I use them to make beats Really good sound and the bass and they fell and look great

These are amazing sounding speakers for the price and size I would recommend them for anyone I love them they take up very small space and have a nice look on my desk

Love these speakers. The sound quality is unbelievable. This was definitely one of the best purchases/finds of 2025 for me

The pairing was easy,and the sound is awesome. I would recommend these speakers.

I’ve have had multiple high end stereo equipment in my days, but this Edifier R1280T is for its size, outperforms many of my previous speakers!!!! I’ve paired it with a StackStone turntable and the results are truly amazing!!! Well done Edifier, Well done!!!
