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.

    The dual audio inputs was a nice touch but it would have been nice if there was a switcher. The included remote was a nice touch as well, though a source switch would have been eelcome here. Overall the response was deeper than I expected and the sound quality punches above its weight.

    Got speakers for my sons bday as he is now into records. The record player I got him didn’t come with speakers. Saw these first in Amazon and then saw they were at Best Buy. Not only were these cheaper at Best Buy but the person that helped us also pointed out that he had them for his record player!! I had to remember how to set up speakers like back in the day but it was easy to setup AND THE SOUND IS AMAZING!!! So worth the price and then some!! Also if you are a total member like myself it comes with the warranty for 2 yrs if something happens

    Really good sound quality for my home office/gaming setup. No complaints for sound or size, the only issue I had was that the 3.5mm to R+L channel cable included with the product was faulty; however, their customer support fixed the issue quickly.

    The Edifier R1280T bookshelf speakers offer an impressive audio experience at a budget-friendly price point. Here's why these speakers are a solid choice for those seeking good sound without breaking the bank. Firstly, the design is simple yet elegant, blending well with various room aesthetics. The wood grain finish adds a touch of warmth, making them visually appealing. Setting up the speakers is straightforward, and the included remote control adds convenience, allowing easy adjustments from across the room. Sound quality is where the R1280T truly shines. The speakers deliver clear and well-balanced audio across different genres. The bass response is surprisingly robust for speakers of this size, providing a satisfying low-end without being overpowering. The inclusion of dual RCA inputs is a nice touch, allowing users to connect multiple audio sources simultaneously.

    This Speaker sounds great. Deep Bass sound for music and definite help with gaming. The remote is an added touch so I don't have to touch it. I recommend buying it if you want great speakers for a good price.

    I needed to purchase a new set of computer speakers for my father-in-law, as his old Logitech speakers were failing. As he is losing his hearing, we wanted to get him something of good quality. These speakers have been amazing for him! Whether watching how-to videos, watching music videos, or having background music on, the sound and clarity is amazing!

    Good speakers but poor grill color choice

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The speakers are used on a TV to replace the tinny TV speakers. The line (RCA) outputs on the TV were used which required the volume control on the speakers to be at max. The vol control on the speakers have no stops! When the speakers are turned off, they DO NOT remember the vol setting. I just leave them on 24/7. The wood case is nice but the color of the grill (light grey) is a miss-match. I looked online for a brown or tan grill, but all that is available is a black grill directly from Edifier. The sound quality is much better than the TV speakers.

    Great speakers. The small form factor makes it easy to get the right position for best sound and the treble/bass adjustments make this even better!

    I got these speakers to connect with a new record player. These speakers were super easy to set up, they do have a great physical power switch on the back, but also has a remote to control the volume from afar. I would recommend these if you’re not looking for a super high end speaker setup, they are nice and clear, no rattle or shakiness at higher volumes either.

    Pretty solid for the price point. I bought these for my JVC record player with phono/RCA output, and these work great. Came with cables for RCA to RCA and RCA to Aux, along with speaker wire for the secondary passive speaker. These speakers do not support Bluetooth, so you would need another adapter if that's what you're looking for. Other than that, easy hook up to my preamp and record player and sounds great!
