Great sound out of these speakers

I absolutely love these speakers. I’ve always had portable speakers with crappy sound and these are a game changer. I love the bass and how full the sound is. I played around with all types of music and they all sound great. One thing i love most is the look and size of them. The wooden outside makes them seem more modest and modern and they fit right on my tv stand without looking bulky. I also really love the controls that are on the side of the speaker. You can play around with bass and treble and make it your own. They also come with a remote which is nice. They were super easy to set up and I had no issues. One thing that could be changed is the fact that you have to connect your device through an aux cord. I would have thought that all speakers are Bluetooth now. Regardless of that I love these speakers and highly recommend!

I am highly impressed with these little speakers. I was worried with such a small woofer (4 inch) that they would not produce much bass but I was wrong. Now, they are not going to shake the house or wake the neighbors but they do a really good job at filling up the room. I am using them as PC speakers and they are amazing. When just connected to my PC and with the simple bass and treble controls on the side of the speakers, they sound good. However, when I run them through Sonar (free DSP type software from SteelSeries) it really woke up these speakers. Using the 10 band EQ with Sonar I was able to completely tune the speakers to fit specific audio sources (movies, music, gaming, etc). If you are using the R1280T without any EQ controls, you owe it to yourself to get an EQ (software or hardware). It is hard to express in a review how much better the R1280T sounds when running through my EQ settings. For $100, the R1280T is definitely punching above its weight class and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

Small little speakers with a bold sound! Decent bass for how small they are. Pretty loud but distort a little when at higher volume. Well worth the price if you’re looking for budget speaker setup for computer or record player. Not recommended for studio speakers. Very happy with the purchase though. Don’t hesitate.

What an incredible sound from $100 speakers! Set up was pretty simple, just plugging in the RCA and speaker cords, then connecting to the AUX on my PC and that was it!
The remote is extremely simple with mute and volume up and down, while more controls are found on the main speaker for treble, bass and volume. The sound is clean and rich, although the bass is a little lacking, but I'm fine with that since they are desktop speakers and shaking your rig isn't the best idea.
The look is also very nice! I think I prefer the protective screen off to see the speakers themselves and the wood look is a fantastic aesthetic.
10/10 for the cost

These speakers are great!!! They are loud and sound really good too. I bought these for my record player and haven’t quit spinning vinyl yet. They were easy to set up (not Bluetooth) just plug in a couple of wire and flip the on button and ready to go. They even have a remote to adjust the volume. These speakers are perfect for small living and provide a big sound. I bought these because I recently moved into an apartment and they are perfect. Definitely recommend!

These speakers are great for beginners! They were very easy to assemble and connect to my turntable. Even better, they just look amazing with my setup! The sound is very clear and sounds great. I’m very satisfied with this purchase. I’ve heard lots of great things about these speakers.

Wasn’t getting that “vinyl” feel when listening to records via Bluetooth. Decided to shop powered speakers to plug into the vinyl players phono output and not spend much. Found the reviews for these speakers and decided to purchase. Wow, great buy! Speakers sound great! Came with any cable you’ll need! Love the ability to adjust treble and bass! Inexpensive! Happy that I now have that “vinyl” feel. Oh, and love the look with the grills off!

I wish I could give these 10 stars. I have a slow laptop I decided to use for workouts but the speakers were not loud enough so I purchased these speakers. I was blown away at the bass, clarity of sound, tremble and the distance of sound it projects. I love love love these speakers. I DO NOT regret my purchase. Did I say I love these speakers? Lol

These speakers definitely bring more than expected. They have great, but not excellent, sound. The bass is definitely much better than I expected, and I was buying these based from reviews and the price.
The speakers are hefty, have decent magnets based by the weight and sound quality. Only downside is the equalizer on the side. I can adjust the bass and treble, and is fine except when turning either to the extreme positive end, you can hear the compression of the opposite. Meaning when turning up treble it's fine until it reaches the extreme + side, where you can hear the bass being cut rather than treble added, and the same is true for the bass.
Because this is only at the extreme ends of either, I just keep them lower in my settings and they sound fine. (Extreme being the last 1/16 of the turn approximately)
They really are good speakers, as I am using them as studio monitors and they haven't given any kind of issues. I would recommend these to a friend, for sure.

I wanted something better than generic desktop computer speakers for my little home studio. I couldn't afford professional near-field monitors, so I settled on these. I am not disappointed! They are wonderful little speakers. More bass then I would have expected out of 4" cones. Plenty of volume for filling the room with music from Band Camp or Sportify when I am not playing something of my own.
The sound develops well when sitting close, a requirement for monitors. The two inputs are handy. Both are active at the same time, so you can mix two sources or go back and forth without touching the speakers (there is no fade between the inputs which would be nice, but you can't have everything for the price). I don't use the little remote, but it works if you need it.
They include both RCA cables as well as a 3.5mm TRS cable to connect to a computer or phone (if your phone still has headphone jack). They do have a Blue Tooth version if you need it. Both inputs are line in, so you would need a preamp to connect microphones or a turntable with low level outputs.
Best Buy does a great job with packing and shipping. I definitely recommend these if you are looking decent powered speakers in the price range.

First, these are not Bluetooth. I recommend using them with your computer or other multimedia use.
They have great sound and are the perfect size for a desk. They have a nice wood finish and they feel very solid. Overall, great product.

I really liked the speakers. I'm not a professional, I'm an amateur. They sound clean, you can adjust them a little, I bought them for a vinyl player and everything fits perfectly. I haven't enjoyed listening to not only music but also watching movies for a long time

Overall Nice Speakers. I needed something to practice with DJing, and not spend too much. Quality is clear, loud Bass is the only thing lacking, but over all for the price very happy. No Delay between my controller and the speakers. Sound quality is clear no popping or anything like that. Wish I would of seen these sooner because it definitely is better than what I had. Thanks for the quick Delivery.

I would highly recommend the Edifier R1280T speakers. Great price – look great – and sound great. Excellent bang-for-the-buck. Solid construction quality and well packaged. At under $100. a solid buy. I use them with my audio-technica turntable.

These speakers are truly something special. When i bought them to power the sound of my PS5/xbox series x gaming desk set up; i didnt really expect a ton of soubd from them. However, once i got them set up i was blown away at the output of sound. Devent base with solid mids and highs. Overall tou cant veat them for the price you pay. Pick them up!

Good looking elegant bookshelf speakers, great clear sound, surprisingly good bass for the size and price. For smaller room and personal listening it does the job very well. Nicely packaged, good build quality. Overall excellent buy.

Absolutely great buy. If you're not looking to break the bank but want something easy to install, good quality and loud then this is the one. I use them for my record player and I'm extremely happy

I recently got these monitor speakers for my record player so I can free up space in my AV stand, since using them I noticed a big difference in audio quality from my records! Previously my audio was slightly drowned out, now this 2.0 system cleaned up my sound and improved the bass tones without sacrificing space!
