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 purchased these speakers as a Christmas gift for my granddaughter. She was both surprised and very excited to receive them. She is using them with her new turntable. They produce a very clear and pleasing sound quality. I was very impressed when I listened to one of the albums she had playing.

    I'm absolutely astounded at how good these sound for the $99 they cost me. I don't usually spend much on audio equipment, but these outclass the 2.1 soundbar/sub setup that cost me 3x the price for the living room. I would definitely go back to this brand.

    I have had my eye on these speakers for a long time. They exceed my expectations. I am so happy that I finally bought them. The sound spectrum, clarity, and definition are excellent. And they are well built. The price was far less than they are worth.

    Incredible for the price. Got these for my cd player and I am more than impressed. Sound quality is right up there with speakers twice the price. If looking for quality speakers for cheap, look no futher!

    It sounds incredible and much better than I expected. I was wondering if i'd need a pre-amp or receiver but you don't need one and it plays on it's own.

    i'm not an audiophile. i think it has a good sound profile for music and the output is good through the volume range. remote control works well at decent range although the lack of power button is kind of annoying me a few weeks into owning this. looks well constructed but with cheap materials. would recommend them to anybody looking for a low priced set of speakers.
