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.

    Purchased for teenage daughter’s turntable starter kit. Fills bedroom but probably not gonna satisfy audiophile in a larger room. Has overall decent sound. Easy to setup and control. Really good for the price. We’re happy with it.

    These are awesome small speakers! Great range of sound and tone. Wonderful lows for the size yet great balance. Also plenty of volume for the size! Highly recommend!

    These speaker has great sound to them and it is good to see speakers that give you control of the sound quality you want from speakers. Even though the prices of the speakers have gone up I still find it is still worth the price.

    If you're getting into vinyl records, and or LP's, this is a great set of speakers for beginners. The sounds are crystal clear and easy to hear. If your're used to listening speakers with heavy bass like Beat Speakers then these aren't for you. You're able to change the treble and bass level on the speakers but don't expect for it to rumble like you're at a club or a car. These are bookshelf speakers and you'll get great crystal sound in the room. They can get loud but don't expect to rock the house for a party, unless you're a nerd playing Dungeons and Dragons with a group of friends and you have a Hans Zimmer soundtrack playing then boy oh boy it's going to be a great night!

    Great sound! I was worried I wouldn’t be able to put each speaker far apart from each other but it worked out perfectly! Easy to set up as well!

    These speakers have been a great addition to our home. They are Bose quality or better. Adjustable bass and treble and they ROCK (if you want them to). We have ours connected to our Alexa device and it makes for great on-demand music. It fills the room with beautiful sound. I would buy these again in a heartbeat.

    I am very impressed with these speakers. They are easy to set up and connecting the two with an audio cable is straight forward. Once they are turned on the sound is clean with good base. They look nice enough to keep under my TV in the living room and fill the whole room with good sound. Happy with my purchase.

    Best Budget Desktop Speakers on the Market

    Bought this for my partner as it is, in my opinion, one of the best budget bookshelf/desktop speakers out there. Although it does require some EQ adjustment to bring out the potential of these speakers, once it is the sound quality is incredible.

    R1280T Fantastic speakers for most people

    Purchased for computer use. Sound and design exceeded expectations. Lacks a headphone jack but front facing port, bass, and treble let you dial in the sound perfectly for a desktop. RCA jacks let you decide L/R speaker positioning. Super low freq output helps games a lot. Aux jack for external Bluetooth a plus so you can get one that works with your devices even after new versions come out. Future proof.

    Never heard of this Edifier brand before. Suggested by a Best Buy employee. The power of the bass, the highs and lows between the midrange and tweeter are powerful! The wood casing is an attractive plus. I would recommend Edifier and would purchase again.

    Nice, medium size speaker, with pretty big sound. I connect them up directly to my iPhone via 1/8" stereo to Stereo RCA cable. They sound pretty darn good. It would be nice if they had bluetooth. That said, for the cost, great speaker.

    If you can find these speakers in stock, buy them now! I’ll save the research on tech geek sites, as I’ve already done it. This pair of speakers is top rated, and beats speakers that are 5x as much money…you’re paying for the label. I have these paired with a low-end Audio Technica turntable, with no receiver. The sound quality is unreal. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed, and you can’t beat the price.

    Recently bought a new record player but i wanted better sound quality. Look at the reviews for the speakers and decided to purchase them. Best decision ever. For the price of the speakers the sound quality is very good and it also comes with a remote, speaker wires, and aux wires. I easily hard wire the speakers to my player and I'm now enjoying listening to my albums even more.

    The speakers work very well. I like the color a lot. The set up is also really easy and you really don’t even need the directions. It also comes with a remote!
