Many appreciate the speakers' compact size and surprisingly loud volume, along with the included remote control and attractive design. Positive comments also highlight the speakers' affordability. The main drawback mentioned by some customers is the lack of Bluetooth connectivity.

    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!

    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 ..

    Was skeptical about how these speakers would do considering the price for them. However, you are getting great quality speakers for a great price. I absolutely love my speakers. They sound great with my record player and even just being hooked up to my laptop.

    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.

    I really liked the speakers. I'm not a professional, I'm an amateur. They sound clean, you can adjust them a little, I bought them for a vinyl player and everything fits perfectly. I haven't enjoyed listening to not only music but also watching movies for a long time

    Amazing speakers get very loud, works with an audio interface with the right connections I also was able to connect my Bose headphones by buying a 2.5mm female to 3.5mm male adapter for the jack,

    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 would highly recommend the Edifier R1280T speakers. Great price – look great – and sound great. Excellent bang-for-the-buck. Solid construction quality and well packaged. At under $100. a solid buy. I use them with my audio-technica turntable.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I purchased these speakers for my new turntable and they are perfect for the room we have it in. The sound is crisp, loud, and has great quality. The value you get for the amount of money I spent was incredible! A must buy.
