  • Great bang for the buck
I bought these speakers to downsize from older, larger floor speakers connected to an amplifier and my audio-technica lp 120 turntable. Just wanted to make the overall footprint in my room smaller, and I was never 100% happy with the sound through the amp and floor speakers. The all-in-one design of the Edifier R1280T speakers appealed to me. Amp and speakers in a nice, compact package. I owned the larger, more expensive speakers for years but figured these new Edifier speakers would probably match or exceed them simply because speaker and amp technology has gotten better and more sophisticated over the years. And, for $100, I figured what the heck. I can always use them somewhere else in the house if I didn’t like they way they sounded with my turntable. The speakers were delivered within a day because of my Prime membership. They were securely boxed by Edifier so they wouldn’t get damaged during transit. When I removed them from the box the first thing I noticed was how well built and good looking they are. Quite compact (perfect for bookshelves) and absolutely look and feel more expensive than I would expect from a hundred dollar pair of speakers. Setup was super easy. Took only about 5 minutes. The remote is simple, but that it was I like about it. Volume up and down and mute. If you want to tweak treble and bass you simply turn dials on the side of one of the speakers. The on/off switch is also on a speaker. Easy enough to deal with. I held my breath when I put the first record on my turntable. At first the speakers just didn’t sound right. Did a little trouble shooting and realized I didn’t hook up the wires to the back of the speakers properly. They are color coded for positive/negative polarity but I just didn’t pay attention or read the small instruction manual that came with the speakers. Once I fixed the wire polarity and replayed the record, I could feel a smile come across my face. Yes! Exactly what I hoped for, nice clean sound, with decent treble and bass. Adjusted both to my liking and walla, totally enjoyed the music. After being satisfied with the basic sound I cranked up the volume to see if the speakers could handle high volume without distortion. Again, the answer was yes. Plenty loud for me, and I do like to crank it up once in a while. Never did put it to full volume. Just wasn’t neccessary. I know there are better speakers out there, and these are not Bluetooth or WiFi ready. But that is not what I was looking for. These are dedicated to my phonograph and for me they are perfect. From the great reviews they receive on Amazon, it is obvious many people feel the same as I do. In fact, this is supposedly Amazon’s best selling speakers. In that regard, I want to thank all of the other Amazon reviewers who wrote about these speakers. They definitely influenced my purchase decision because I for one do rely on the star ratings products receive on Amazon. The bottom line on these Edifier speakers is that I highly recommend them, specifically because of their excellent price, beauty and sound. In my humble opinion I don’t think you will find a better value out there today in speakers at this price range or even slightly higher. ... show more

  • Simple, effective, and just what I wanted and needed.
I'm a metalhead. I've been searching and searching for reviews of anyone with that type of musical leaning for these type of speakers in this price range. Am I an audiophile? In many ways. However, I write and record my own music that I release on Spotify and Bandcamp and need a set of speakers of a caliber that the everyday person is going to own and use regularly for reference. All of my life I've been that average working class person who usually can only afford things within this price range and sometimes you don't need a $500 - $800 setup to find quality that satisfies your everyday needs. Anyways, to the point: These speakers rule. Are they perfect? No. However, as picky as I can be I've been listening to them all day and they do wonders for a medium sized bedroom where I just want to review what I've recorded (not in my DAW, I'm not using these as studio monitors and neither should you because they are not). After my own stuff I went and listened to all of my other favorite bands, which sound great. I've avoided turning them all the way up because they are loud! I'm pretty sure I've been keeping them under halfway on the volume and that is more than enough for me to begin worrying about my neighbors. Treble: Nice, bright, clear, and not coming off like an aluminum can. I did turn the treble knob up just the tiniest bit to help break through some of the bass and lower mids, which is a lot more present than I was expecting. I think the wood casing really helps with that resonance as opposed to some of the plastic on lower quality speakers. Mids: Pretty damn solid. Nothing that bugged me and nothing to rant over. The mids added definition to the overall sound. Bass: A bit too powerful for my needs, so I actually turned it down a tiny bit and then it was perfect. It was a super easy fix. I listen to a lot of death metal and there is some incredibly low tunings on guitar, bass, as well as the kick pedal of the drums. The bass immediately let me know it was there, hence turning it down a wee bit. But now we're great! I don't see why you couldn't listen to electronic or hip hop on here without complaint. I put on some Dead Prez and Kendrick Lamar and turned the bass up, it rumbled a lot. But I know others may want more so just keep that in mind. Beyond metal I played a bit of my favorite flamenco artists, classical music, country, and folk. All sounded great and extremely clear. I'd highly recommend this to someone for the $100 it is. What a delightful setup I found in that price range. ... show more

  • Great value- perform exactly as expected
These are a good value, really nice sound for the 90$ I spent on the pair. I bought them for a home recording setup, but one needs to be realistic about what one gets at this price point (I was, which is why I am happy with them!). Full disclosure: for "serious" recording and monitoring, I use my SONY MDR7506 headphones and/or a pair of aged 5" JBL LSR2325Ps; I plan on using these Edifiers to make sure my mixes sound good on really decent "normal" speakers- and so far these do that job quite well. For 90$, these are actually much better than I expected (hence the 5 stars) and I am 100% happy with the purchase. Of course there's a relative (and unavoidable) loss of power and clarity at this size / price point (e.g. deep analog bass muddies, and many high frequencies drop out completely). I only mention all this because the listing describes these as "studio monitors" but I'm not sure that's a fair expectation to set. Maybe in a smaller space / starter home studio? Otherwise these make a great testing ground for mixes, and of course they are perfect for everyday use (gaming etc). I'd also add that they are beautiful- the wood finish is lovely and anyone who has walked past my workstation has commented on them. ... show more
