    • Astonishingly good sounding for the price
Color: wood
This review is for the Edifier R1280DBs Active Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers (ASIN: B08865JM4N). Before I jump into my review, let me offer this bit of information that I didn't know and isn't obvious. There are two versions of this speaker, both have the exact same model number, the Edifier R1280DB. One is a newer generation and you can tell by looking for "2.0" in the description or you can search on the ASIN above. The ASIN for the older model is B0719C132V and this model is typically a bit cheaper. The differences that I noticed (and not necessarily a complete list) is upgraded Bluetooth for the newer one, a subwoofer output and a different remote control. I took the time to read many of the reviews and a couple of things show up fairly often. One is Bluetooth connectivity being touch and go for some reviewers. It is possible this is related to the older version of Bluetooth in the older model. So far, I have not had any issues. I paired and connected a tablet to the speakers and the connection has been nailed up for about a week with no disconnects. Another thing I saw in reviews were comments about the overall loudness or volume of this speaker. You can expect this speaker to provide an adequate but not overwhelming amount of sound for a modest sized room. Think in terms of a bedroom, kitchen or modest sized living room. This is NOT a party speaker that will rock out a couple of dozen people at a big party. Not that loud. Furthermore, the amount of sound is also related to how you get the signal to the speakers. For example, I have a couple different mini-MP3 players and all of them use Bluetooth to connect. Even with the volume turned all the way up on each device and the speakers, the variation in volume from the speakers is considerable. If you find the volume too low, you might try a different device, particularly with Bluetooth. Finally, there have been some reviews that comment on the lack of bass or low end. I thought I had the same issue but in my case, it turned out to be the source material, not the speakers. With proper source material the low end is really quite impressive and if it isn't there may be something wrong with the speakers and you should consider returning them. Keep in mind these speakers claim a two year warranty (very nice in this world of 30 DAY warranties!!!). I've owned and operated a recording studio for over 40 years. Had the good fortune to work with a number of top of the line studio monitors in that time, some that were ridiculously expensive (like $40,000 for a pair!!! And no, I didn't buy them, someone else did!). Now don't get too excited...while these are fantastic sounding speakers, they are NOT studio monitors. That's actually a good thing, though. Contrary to popular belief, studio monitors are not great home speakers even though one might initially think that. A studio monitor is designed to be as flat as possible in frequency response. However, most of us don't think that sounds that great and usually want to crank up the low end and sometimes the high end as well. These are NOT flat and they DO have a nice bump in the low end and a nice and easy to listen to high end that's not harsh. They are some excellent sounding speakers for home, office or even the home theater. They look really sexy, too. Nice wood veneer on the sides and if you choose to pull the grills off, they still look nice. Be sure to check the dimensions, too. I was a bit surprised at the diminutive size, especially given the quality of sound from them. I was astonished at just how tight and present the low end is with these little jewels. To make low end, you must move air. A 4" driver that produces that kind of low end is unusual, even among drivers with long excursions. The high end is crisp and clear with quite good imaging. The R1280DB has a pair of RCA inputs you can switch between using either the remote that comes with the speakers or by using the volume control knob. They also sport an optical AND coaxial cable connection as well as Bluetooth connectivity. All of them can be accessed via remote or volume knob which is really nice. These were purchased to replace a pair of antique JBL passive speakers in the master bedroom. Before I installed the new ones, I did a quick comparison of them using the exact same music and with the new ones sitting right on top of the old ones and there was simply NO comparison. These Edifiers put the smack down on those old old JBL speakers. It pains me to say that because I am quite the JBL fanboy, but there it is. I am so satisfied with these I may just get a second pair even though I don't have an immediate need for them. Sadly, it seems any time I find something I really like "they" pull it off the market. It's gotten to where I feel like I must purchase a lifetime supply of things I like!!!! 12/30/24 Update: Somehow, the lack of sound in the kitchen suddenly became an issue (after some 20+ years without!) so I DID score a second set of these speakers. They are on top of the cabinets only a foot or so from the ceiling and about as far apart as the piece of speaker wire included with the speakers will allow. Our kitchen is such a happy place now!! There are several people here who love to cook and the kitchen is a popular place. I can't fathom how it took this long to get some music in there. ... show more

    • These are amazing!
Color: wood
I bought these to connect to my turntable so I can listen to my records without headphones. I have some really nice Sennheiser HD 280 Pro headphones with a flat response that I've been using to listen to my vinyl and it's been awesome to hear the albums the way the artists intended. I haven't had to alter the onboard EQ pots. The sound out of the speakers is very true to the source. I was worried it would be bass-heavy but the sound is very evenly distributed. It's also very crisp and responsive to the input (dirty records are muddy, but lossless sources are, well, lossless). I bought some stands so the speakers sit at ear level and it's as if I have my headphones on, but I don't. I bought the Bluetooth version of the Edifier speakers hoping to connect Spotify from my phone or work computer. The quality of the Bluetooth connection is just as good as my turntable direct cable inputs. This is an amazing set of speakers for the price. I'm sure more expensive ones will be even truer to the sound, but I feel I was very lucky to get a set of quality as these guys for the price. ... show more

    • Some of the best value speakers you can buy
Color: black
I bought these speakers for my desk to play games, watch movies, and listen to music. These speakers are great for all of these applications. For games, the sound is loud and immersive with booming bass for things like gunshots and footsteps. For movies the midrange is loud enough for dialogue and the low end is good enough for a cinematic experience. And for music, they work great when I don't want to put on my audiophile grade headphones. These speakers are definitely studio grade and audiophile certified. I just combined them with the T5 subwoofer and that adds another layer of dimensionally to the sound. If you want a great set of studio grade speakers for your living room, desk, vinyl setup, whatever, then these are great ... show more

    • Great little speakers for small stereo or computer
Color: wood
These speakers are fine for what they are - inexpensive non-audiophile uses only. Easy to set up (hint - the powered speaker is the Right channel) and the included speaker wire give a little over 6 feet of separation. Mine are connected to a PC via Bluetooth with no issues. Bass is a little muddy but again, these are not high end speakers. I removed the speaker grills because I like the techno look. A good value IMHO. ... show more
