    These speakers are absolutely amazing! Ive had them for a couple of weeks now, and theyre so great that sometimes ill even play my comp games using them because theyre loud and crystal clear with an amazing bass. Dont sleep on these speakers. You can use them for anything whether it’s gaming, watching tv, hanging out with friends or whateverelse your desire. This price on these speakers for their amazing specs is an absolute steal. Theyre super easy to install with simply straight forward instructions that’s over within the blink of an eye to setup because it’s that easy. Go grab you a set of them because imma bout to get the sub to pair with it because theyre so good

    These are excellent. great mids highs lows and even bass. I have mine hooked up via Optical Cable to my PC and my b650e Taichi Motherboard has great audio chipset, Plus the endless customization with Dolby Atmos on pc, These blow every sound bar out the the water, even the $400+ ones. Greats for gaming, youtube and movies. everything. Amazing deal at the $130 i paid for them, The cloth grill is removable

    Love these speakers. Connected them to my new record player and the sound quality is amazing. These were such a nice upgrade. Love that I can control the bass and treble on the speaker and that I have a remote for the volume control.

    I love edifier, for such small speakers the quality is super. The older models don’t have sub out which is my only qualm. These are great for vinyl, PCs and music lovers in general

    Hooked these up to a Denon turntable. These are the top of the line budget desk speakers and they prove that in their sound, value, and equalizer. I also own the version of these without Bluetooth which also lack some IO that these have.

    The Edifier R1280DBs speakers are an absolute dream for anyone getting into vinyl! I paired them with my entry-level turntable, and the sound quality is nothing short of incredible. The rich, balanced audio brings out the best in my records—whether it’s the deep bass or the crisp highs, every note feels alive. I went with the solid black finish, and it looks sleek and modern, perfectly complementing my setup. These speakers are also super versatile, with multiple input options like RCA and Bluetooth, making it easy to switch between spinning vinyl and streaming music from my phone. For vinyl enthusiasts, especially those with an entry-level turntable, these speakers are a game-changer. They’re affordable, easy to use, and deliver a sound experience that rivals much pricier options. I can’t recommend them enough!

    Great option for those not looking to dive into having a fully dedicated stereo system, with plenty of connectivity options. Sounds decent, would definitely benefit from adding a subwoofer.

    Great sound for a great price. Not audiophile quality, but for everyday listening for music and gaming their great. Surprising amount of bass for such small speakers. Would buy again or recommend to a friend.

    So these are not for everyone, lets start there. Unless, you buy a Subwoofer as well. If you are in a small room, or apartment, these are fantastic. The sound quality is a lot higher than you will find in traditional "desktop PC" speakers by a fair margin. The highs are very crisp and clean. The bass is punchy but does not hit the lows boomy kind of sounds that you get from traditional PC speakers you find that come with a Subwoofer. If you add the Edifier T5 subwoofer to these, they are Unmatched in the their price point. Overall I am SUPER Happy with the way these sound out of the box for the space I have them in, and the addition of the Subwoofer I purchased to go along with these make these Top Notch. Highly recommend these.
