Sounds great with my Audiotechnica! Easy to set up as well

Great little speakers and look great, using them with a record player.

Just got these speakers 2 days ago, they just keep getting better as they break in. Took a chance based off all the reviews. They exceeded my expectations for the price. I'm mainly using them for music from my Mac. They are very clean sounding with more detail then I thought they'd have. You can really hear the nuances in various types of recordings. Nice, tight and punchy, no mussy bass and they seem to have a fairly flat response. Plenty of volume for my small studio apartment. I do recommend lifting them up a bit from what ever surface you will place them on , to prevent the low from coupling with the surface. Use them within their means and you won't be disappointed. I absolutely recommend these for the price.

For the price these little speakers are amazing their sound fills the room and theyve got good bass without an external subwoofer.

The Edifier R 1280T Powerd Bookshelf Speakers / Computer/ Studio monitor Speakers,2.0 Active Near Field Monitors 42 Watts RMS-Brown. The Edifier 1280T Are really excellent With Ballanced Sound Have Really Powerful Base For There Size.

I’ve been using the Edifier speakers for a few months now, and they’ve been excellent. The sound quality is clear, well-balanced, and surprisingly powerful for their size—great for music, movies, and even light mixing. Setup was super simple; I had them plugged in and working within minutes. The build quality also feels premium, and they look great on my desk. Highly recommend if you're looking for reliable bookshelf speakers that won’t break the bank.

A surprising sound. So crisp and smooth. The bass and tones excellent and all out of these small speakers

These speakers were much less in cost than other speakers we would have traditionally purchased. We needed to get speakers but didnt want to spend a ton of money until we were sure what we wanted to do. We thought "oh these will work for what we need now".... well come to find out these are all we need! The sound quality is awesome. Easy to setup and they look really nice! Steal of a deal.

I purchased these monitor speakers with low expectations several months ago. But their accuracy and sound clarity greatly exceeded my expectations. Details: I have a few seats on my network, at one of which I read. I had put in a SONOS system there, almost $one large. But it was temperamental and glitchy, and one speaker lost all treble. So, I was looking for a replacement, expecting about a $500 purchase. But $130? I have large Logan-Martins for AV: five star they are in spades. But these little guys? Maybe 5 x 10 inches in front. However, a lot of Edifier R1280T users gave convincing recommendations for these bookshelves, so I tried them out. They were packaged nicely, and the setup instructions were clear. Only one of the two speakers is powered and requires 110 V, That spkr drives the other via speaker cable. It also comes with a 3.5 mm TRS cable to connect to the source - here a high'ish-end ASUS gaming Windows 11-Pro laptop. The powered box also has a set of controls: bass, treble and volume knobs and on-off switch. There is also about six feet of wound-wire-tipped speaker cable, guessing 14-16 gauge. Since I have the speakers set about eight feet apart, I had to use another cable, 10 AWG. The sound has good dispersion and L/R separation. A surprisingly good bass for the size. These Edifiers are perfect for mellow jazz or acoustic background - and medium volume R&R. So-called "reference speakers" are not designed for high volume and this pair follows this axiom. I'd guess about 80 dB max. with full O/S and speaker gains. The frequency controls do not have a great dynamic range, but OK for their purpose. The product could come with a little longer speaker wire too. In short, fine speakers for their price and purpose. Note: I was neither compensated for this review, nor was I requested to provide it. I just like the product!

Great speakers, especially for a vinyl set up! I have zero complaints about these speakers. The sound quality is excellent, the price was fair, and the set up was simple. If you're on the fence about these, make the purchase!

Great sounding speakers for a reasonable price. Remote control is a nice extra feature.

Nice clear sound. Missing a bit of the mid-range clarity but still crystal clear. Has some nice bass to them also. Simple set up. If you want better sound then i would go to one of the higher end models of the series. Very satisfied and exactly what i was looking for to listen to my vinyl through. You wont be disappointed.

These speakers have great sound quality, and the little remote works great! We have been very happy with these for a year!

Good fit on bookshelf. Great sound. House is filled with music now.

I did a lot of research, reading and procrastination before buying these. I should not have waited so long. They sound excellent. The clarity, the adjustable bass. They do sound better when angled up towards your face (if you have a lower desk), so consider a speaker stand for each one (I bought some rubber pads and added several to the front to get the right angle). I can't compare these to other bookshelf-style speakers in quality, but I do believe the other positive reviews are justified in their own comparisons. These are a great purchase and sound great at low volumes (which is good because I use them at work). The difference between these and every other "desktop" speaker system I've used is night and day. The only thing that would improve upon these is a separate subwoofer, but that would be overkill for what I use these fore. You want home entertainment? Then go all out for sure. I'm happy I finally decided to make this purchase. Worth it for sure.

These book shelf speakers are exactly what I was looking for. I use them on my desk connected to my gaming laptop with a DAC and preamp. They replaced a pair of deprecated Bose desktop speakers and what a difference! The base response is unbelievable coming from book shelf speakers. I also appreciate the individual knobs on the side for treble, bass, and volume. I’m definitely happy with this purchase and would recommend them for anyone who is looking for quality speakers at a reasonable price.

Very compact for such great sound! good power and usability.

For the price, these bookshelf speakers sound excellent. If you’re looking for great starter speakers to enjoy your favorite tunes, these are a solid choice. I bought them as a gift for my 12-year-old son, who’s recently gotten into vinyl, and they’ve been a huge upgrade from what he was using before.

Great product at a good price. These fit perfectly on my desk and are loud.

Fantastic and simplistic PC speaker setup for the price! I don't think there's anything for this price that sounds this good. One tweak that helped me bring out a little punch from these bad boys is buying a Dolby Access licensee for Windows, which is able to give you "virtual" Dolby Atmos. After some equalizing and tweaking there these sound so so good. Very simple to set up. I also got a 3rd party desktop speaker stand that angles it towards your ears. This is a must in my opinion to fully experience and enjoy desktop speakers especially for PC in my opinion. They also have an built in amp, so you don't need one. A DAC might help depending on your needs. The wood finish gives it a very premium look. All in all I'm VERY happy with my purchase, only wish it had a sub output, but since I'm not listening to anything too loud and since these are also in my smaller workspace, I'm ok with it. If you really need a sub, it's def possible to add it to this setup, however like I said it would be easier and cleaner if it had a sub output.
