Title: Simple, effective, and just what I wanted and needed.
Review: 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.

Title: Great bang for the buck
Review: 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.

Review: 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

Review: Just received the set of Edifier 1280T and am glad I ordered them. The sound is very good, but I am waiting for the real "kick-in" which all speakers have to go thru. With work and all, I haven't had a chance to break them in properly yet, but as already stated, even new "out of the box" they sound great.I saw people complain about the remote, likely because of its size, but it's fine and does the job superbly. Comes with battery already included. People talked about losing it (or "predicting" they would lose it), but what would you say about a diamond ring you may not wear all the time? lol -- of course, you put it in a safe place where you can remember where it is. It's that simple! And what more do you need on a remote for speakers besides volume up, down or pause?Everyone is different in how they like their music, many love the bass; others an even blend. Whatever your preference is, it's simply a matter of working with the knobs on the side of the active speaker (treble; bass) and leave it there. Chances are that will be appropriate for all your music, but if not, hey, it's just an adjustment away.I like the wood grain look; goes nicely with my wood desk...look sharp. I have only had Logitech speakers before this and they were just fine, but I am keenly enjoying the quality of the Edifiers. Some folks are very fussy and have high demands (guess that's their preogative, of course), but I am grateful to even be able to have such things (which would be considered luxuries by some people and actually, they are).Admittedly, I do not know about sound recording or mixing music if that is a person's job or hobby, so it is worth reading the reviews of those who have some expertise in the area, that's for sure! But if you are a regular person such as myself and desire external speakers for music, online stuff or TV, and are on a fixed budget or saving to spend your $$$ elsewhere, then these are a worthwhile and safe investment. They get the job done!I would like to add a PS and give a thumbs up, high five and all that good stuff to the seller. The speakers were packaged solidly so that there was no damage. They came exactly as advertised. The seller was quick with the order and in sending it on for delivery, which arrived in two days after placing the order. The seller also did a follow-up, to see if I had any questions and/or complaints. Very efficient seller, worth the five stars! Thank you very much-- greatly appreciated by this consumer. 🙂

Review: 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

Review: 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 tothe 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.

Review: Exterior: great sleek wooden finish. Smart position of the volume control (on the side).Sound: no scratchy sound when you turn the volume/sound control, great amplificationWorth the buy if you are looking for small but powerful bookshelf speakers for your turntable! (Changed into this after dealing with degrading quality of PreSonus)
