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.

    These look and sound great in my library. I am using them with an Audio Technica turntable, and it is a great combo for the price and a HUGE upgrade over the suitcase player I used to have.

    These are some of the best sounding speakers inhave heard at this size. I have compared them directly to some Klipsch and Kanto speakers and they punch up with them.

    Got these speakers to pair with my new turntable. Sound quality is great, the only gripe I have with these is that I wish I could turn them up just a bit louder at times. Other than that, fantastic speakers for a reasonable price.

    These speakers are perfect for what I'm using them for; desktop speakers that look cool. They sound full and c'mon, they look really cool. However, if you're looking to use these for a party, look elsewhere. Don't get me wrong, they're plenty loud for my desktop and I use them to edit video. But the neighbors won't be asking me to turn the sound down anytime.

    These bookshelf sized speaks really sound good and have a remote to control the volume. I am currently using them for a computer and a dj controller. They come with the rca to headphone cable and an rca to rca cable.

    Great quality speakers at a relatively low price point! I bought these to go with a turntable. The remote is nice, but does require that line of vision that some remotes don't need.

    Guide the audiophiles back to their basements. Yeah, these speakers will not blow your mind. But they will excite a beginner who never owned a proper pair of computer speakers. Honestly, they sound fantastic and of much better quality than the price would indicate.

    These are a great starter set for aspiring audiophiles. It will give you a taste of what is possible without breaking the bank. You won't be throwing a house party but you will 100% hear parts of songs you haven't before due to lack of fidelity in worse speakers.

    So i have a victorla record player and although it plays my records well, it doesnt have great built-in speakers. These speakers gave it life! Played the original MJ Thriller record and could hear things i didnt hear on the stock speakers. Get these!
