Edifier R1280T 21W 2.0 Channel Auxiliary, RCA Bookshelf Speaker - Brown

The Edifier R1280T speakers have been a fantastic addition to my setup. These bookshelf speakers deliver rich, clear sound with impressive depth for their price range. The 4-inch bass driver and 13mm silk dome tweeter provide a well-balanced audio experience that works perfectly for both music and movies. The sound is detailed without being overwhelming, offering a warm, natural tone that fills the room. One of the standout features is the adjustable tone control on the side panel, allowing me to fine-tune the bass and treble to my preference. The remote control is also a convenient feature, making it easy to adjust volume or switch input sources without getting up. The build quality is solid, with a classic wood finish that looks stylish and professional in any setting. The speakers are compact enough to fit on my desk but still produce excellent sound quality for a variety of content. For the price, the Edifier R1280T speakers are an excellent value, offering clear, balanced sound and flexibility in a beautiful design. They’re ideal for anyone looking for high-quality desktop speakers without breaking the bank. Highly recommended!

Purchased these after a lot of deliberation between these and the R1700BT. For my kind of liking, I preferred the more spatial sound of the 1280s. I saw a lot of one to one sound reviews on youtube but each time ended preferring these. These are tiny in size but powerful and more than big in sound for their size and use them as my desk top speakes. Being powered, these are plug and play and would form an ideal desktop companion to your pc's. I am amazed at the clarity. I own a bigger set up of Bose 301 + Norge Concert Gold amp. But... But I love these little darlings more due to the clarity. Unfortunately the bose and norge combination is harsh on the treble and over emphasizes the bass. I am also amazed at the consistency of the frequencies both at low and high volumes. Even at full volumes the bass is tight and treble is crystal clear. What hooked me to these speakers was the ability to throw out spatial sound. I use them as a stereo pair and am amazed at their sound stage and presence in my 12x15 ft room. I use logitech bt adapater on one of the RC plugs and have the other for my radio. The pc is hooked via bt to the logitech. There is no need of any switches to switch the inputs. One can play both sources simultaneously. If you are looking for a near field speaker with emphasis on clarity then these suit this need pretty well. You will be amazed at the way these small speakers produce such clear notes which are in the range of around 80% to the notes from speakers around 3-5 times the price of these. That is why these are compared with some of the best bookshelf speakers, although not really in their range. These can pretty well be used for a small home party too as they can get just that loud too. The remote is quiet handy if you use them as TV speakers and sit away from them. The only cons are not related to the sound but the smell these emanate out of the box, the radio interference they have on my radio fm reception, but with an external antenna the problem is solved. If you are confused and ask my opinion between these and the 1700s I will suggest go for the 1280 due to their very high sound to price index. Edit on 4-june-2019- they work fine even today. However I am not sure if it is my ears or what but they sound harsh as they reproduce notes clearly and at near field my ears ache please note.

How's the sound Quality?: The midrange is clean, however the higher frequencies and the lower frequencies are not that clear. In slow paced music, the speaker sounds great. But for fast-paced genres like rock etc., it sounds muddier, which forces me to switch it off. In my Koss porta-pro, these songs sound really sweet, but Edifier R1280T gives me headache with them. Remote Control: Works only if you point it directly towards the left speaker. It doesn't respond in all directions unlike some other remotes like that of Tatasky. Is it value for money?: I really don't know. But, given the so many great online reviews, it could be. Something better than these speakers would actually cost a lot more. Return policy: Even though Amazon says, it is returnable, it is not. It can only be returned in case, you received a defective/ damaged product. This does not make sense, as one would ask for replacement in that case. One would like to return only if he is not satisfied with the sound quality. There is no other reason possible. This is why, this product is actually NOT returnable. So, if you are buying, make sure, that you know how it sounds, or be prepared to accept it, however it sounds. If you can buy offline, please do, because, in that case, you can listen in person, before purchasing. I had inquired from both the sellers Edifier online retailer, as well as ProAudioHome. Both agreed, that I can return speakers on this basis, but, Amazon denied my return request. Edit: Review after 20 days: If you use equalizer in your laptop/phone/audio device and turn down base by 3dB for all frequencies below 240Hz, this speaker sounds crystal clear. All the muddy base is gone. You can keep the knobs for bass and treble on the speaker in the middle. No need to change that.

Its the best bang for the buck. The sound quality is very good (perhaps the best one can get in this budget..I haven't listened to better quality speakers in this price range..let me know if you have). Doesn't sound at all like 2.1 computer speakers which always compensate for lack of clarity by having loud, boomy and just-plain-noisy bass. It gets loud enough to be adequate for large rooms and halls (of course in halls you have to atleast cover up the walls in drapes so that sound doesn't reflect and create echoes). For audiophiles, they need to sit at right,sweet spot or try adjusting the speaker to various positions, to hear the best stereo effect from both speakers. I have listened to a lot of 2.1 cheaper computer speakers during my college years, but this just straight up beats them. And not just in clarity but in the bass department too. These small looking speakers have surprisingly very tight, punchy and deep bass. Of course it isn't as deep as an external subwoofer system would be, but speaker systems with a subwoofer in this price range lack the tightness and punch (which makes the bass enjoyable in the first place). Still the bass in this is more than needed. So much that I can feel the rumble of a car engine when its revved. That too even at very low volume levels! Needless to say it handles high frequencies without any sweat. Instrumentals sound great, and even better when I turn the bass knob down and the treble up. My suggestion: If you have the budget for it, don't hesitate even a bit. Rather you will be pleasantly satisfied if it even falls a little outside your budget. Other pros: The wires are long enough. Plus the remote comes in handy sometimes. Cons: No Bluetooth on this version (Bluetooth version is costlier than it should be at the moment of writing this review). So I had to buy a Logitech bluetooth receiver for around ₹1-1.5k. Plus it would have been a good idea to have a mechanically controlled volume knob instead of digital, so that one can pinpoint the lowest and highest volume settings.

These speakers are just highly underrated to not be on every audiophile's radar. The soundstage and the treble are highlights on this one. The clarity is at another level when compared with conventional PC speakers. You can hear the strings rubbing across the fingers when you hear a guitar in your music and that is the level of clarity you can expect from these speakers. Do not be mistaken to believe the bass won't be as good in the absence of a sub-woofer. The bass on this thing is plenty for any audio needs and goes a great way to thump up your windows and chairs. All in all great value for money and you just cannot go wrong with this one. Great product from Edifier who definitely have new found respect in my eyes. Cheers! PS: I have been using these for a few months now and I am amazed with the quality and performance. My choice of music is mostly classical, jazz and instrumentals along with some psychedelics. Clarity of dialogues and music is simply great for the price on offer.

OK - you need to work with it a little. It is a surprisingly powerful pair of speakers. I REALLY wish it had Bluetooth, but then again, I am not sure I miss it. Why? Because on my work table, this sounds like a dream. I have bought 2.1 speakers, home theatres, and higher-end 2.0s. Yes, the F&D T60x is a LOT more powerful, but then again, that weighs about 9kg for each speaker, while these weigh less than 5kg together, not to mention that the edifiers are about one-fifth the size of the Fenda T60X. Not to get ahead of myself here, but you have to: 1. Allow the speakers to break in - they'll take a week. 1.5. Use lower gauge (thicker) speaker wire - you'll get decent stuff by Amazon basics. 2. Resist pumping the bass to the fullest - it'll only make the bass boom. For each type of room, there's a sweet spot of great sound. 3. Try not to play them loud. They stand at 9.5" tall - you bought a pair of GREAT speakers, but they are small - which means their drivers are small, which in turn means that they won't perform well if you keep pushing them past their limits. Find a song with a good spread of frequencies - from lows to mids to highs - play it at different volumes, find your sweet spot, and voila! You have your speakers set up. 4. Just because they seem a little expensive doesn't make them "loud" speakers. They perform brilliantly in a smallish room - about 120-150 square feet at the most. 5. Remember - it has a subwoofer out. Do Not forget that. Connect a sub if you want to push the speakers - YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. Well, if you're buying the edifier and a subwoofer, you gotta ask yourself if you'd rather not buy something bigger, instead - the edifier sub and the R1280T together cost less than the F&D T60. But I'll tell you this. The R1280T actually sounds better. DESPITE the size difference. Strange, but it's actually true. I bought the T60 - I bought the R1280T for a friend. I gave her my T60 and kept this. That's actually how good this little minx is.

best premium Speakers in the price segment money can buy.

Extremely bad product… poor quality sound… lot of noise in the background… Moreover, there is no way to return the product… when you try that it keeps you in a loop.. and just keeps on wasting your time This company is fraud

Look good and feel well made. Sound is good for the price. They will get loud. The tone adjustments are good. High’s and midrange are crisp and clear. The low’s have a warm tone but not much punch. For true full sound, a subwoofer is needed. Overall, these are nice speakers for the money.

These things are incredible. For the price they're very good. Easy to setup, I needed a J&D Dual 1/4" TS to RCA Cable to connect it to the Scarlet Solo on my PC, but it now functions as a really good set of PC Speakers. Don't know what to say, the sound is great, high quality crisp music and sound, it has dials on the side for bass, treble, and volume. You can also switch it off with a button the back. It connects easily to my turntable, with the J&D Dual 1/4" TS to RCA Cable connects fine to my computer. What more do you want? What else is there to say. There's no Sub Woofer, so you'll need to pay extra if you want really heavy bass, it's still a good sound, it's to be expected those are separate purchases, it can get pretty loud but i haven't tested it at really high volumes. OH! It has this cool little remote control, just changes volume up and down, and can mute or unmute, but that's all you need, I've wanted a method to control my PC's audio from the bed for a long time, this just happened to come with a solution. Wonderful product. Only thing i can't be sure of is lifespan, like if it breaks in two weeks I can't tell you that yet, but to me they seem pretty sturdy. Well recommended!

Llevo aproximadamente 3 años con estas bocinas modelo R1280T. En si, el material de construcción de la caja asi como su cono de 4 pulgadas y su twitter son de excelente calidad, los cables son de buena calidad y creo que en lo unico que me quejaria es en el control remoto que para alguien como yo que tiene sus bocinas en el nivel adecuado y las uso en mi ordenador, no es un problema, pero si lo consideras importante puede ser un punto en contra. Tambien es importante destacar que el modelo que es T y no TS, es porque a diferencia del modelo con la letra "S" al final, estas no tienen salida para un subwoofer. Finalmente en la cuestión del sonido. Estas son bocinas amplificadas que no necesitan de un amplificador, pero son hechas para lugares de espacios pequeños a medianos, ya que son bocinas de fidelidad y no sonideras, por lo que no te esperes que hagan ruido hasta la esquina de tu cuadra. Las bocinas en general tienen un sonido base bastante plano, lo que es muy bueno y que podemos jugar con los dB de los agudos y los graves que se encuentran en la bocina que tiene el amplificador. Esto hara que cambie bastante la manera en la que suenan. En cuanto a los agudos, tienen unos agudos muy controlados, que no llegan a molestarte inclusive en niveles altos de sonido, los medios sin lugar a dudas se desempeñan excelente, tienen una cercania en las voces muy buena, y en cuanto a los graves, son graves que se desempeñaran bien para aquel que no quiere que retumbe su casa, no se acartonan inclusive en frecuencias de 40hz, pero no tienen tanta expansión ya que tenemos un driver de 4 pulgadas, que en ocasiones puede viciarse con las frecuencias medias bajas y haga que el sonido se sature. Estas bocinas donde mas brillan es cuando las acompañamos con un crossover o tarjeta de audio que nos permita acompañarlas con un subwoofer y si es necesario para tu oido, ecualizar. Yo las tengo conectadas a mi PC con una tarjeta de sonido dedicada soundblaster ZSE, donde tengo configurado un sistema 2.1, osea 2 bocinas y 1 subwoofer con el punto de corte de las frecuencias graves en 80Hz hacia abajo para el subwoofer. De esta forma las bocinas ya no se viciaran con esas frecuencias graves y las medias bajas, dando un sonido mas uniforme y de mucha mejor calidad. Ademas de que en el software tengo ligeramente elevadas las frecuencias agudas y graves para mi odio. Sin lugar a dudas cuando las bocinas estan acompañadas por un subwoofer y podemos hacer el crossover se vuelven mucho mejores que solas. Si te consideras una persona mas exigente definitivamente te recomiendo hacer esta configuración, si no lo eres creeme que el sonido de ambas bocinas solo, cumplira totalmente tus expectativas

Absolutely fantastic speakers!!! Like other reviewers wrote, I can’t believe the audio quality through these small and inexpensive beauties, I’m in audio heaven! Also delivery was faster than expected and via a good courier. I’d only like to mention the speakers I received are clearly US/Canada and my bf had to rush to the shop to get a plug converter as they have a USA plug, but it was a very minor inconvenience :) online warranty registration went smoothly too
