  • A joy to listen to - Much better than what I had expected with great sound qualIty and finish.
Color: black
*Update* just to reiterate, these continue to be such a joy to listen to, surprising me with the melodious sound… was just listening to Clarinet Blues by Bobby Gordon and Dave McKenna and it just sounded so beautiful. I don’t know what Edifier did but this cheap little speaker continues to impress, making listening to music a joy. ——— I wanted a inexpensive pair of speakers for the study. I have sound assistants (echo, nest) but the sound is tinny and lacks bass. I thought about adding an amp plus small bookshelves but it would have been a bit much in that small room. After some research, I thought I would try the Edifiers (Amazon had good ratings as did CR for a different model). I have to say I was blown away by the sound. I just had not expected them to sound so good. I have a full system in the basement for music with a Yamaha amp, Elac speakers and a subwoofer - and these of course do not match that system which costs more than 10 times the price of this system. Yet, these inexpensive little speakers sound very, very good - better than most of my hifi gear when I was growing up. The drums and guitar of ZZTop is clear and beautifully musical. Crystal Gayle or Jones vocals sound beautiful as does Camilla Cabello. Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here is perfect. as is a lot of classical and jazz. There are of course some songs that are not suited for these speakers - think the deep bass in Hans Zimmer’s Why So Serious - but these are typically songs where you need a sub anyhow. Just to note - I usually listen to these at moderate volume - 65 to 70db - so I cannot comment on high volume usage. The fit and finish is rather good (I got the black to match piano on which these are sitting). I wish they had Spotify connect.but the Bluetooth does work quite well, and a more visible LED light which would blink when you pressed the remote button to see if it is receiving a command. Finally - Edifier’s naming of their speakers is horrendous when trying to figure out what do buy. I wish they would have a simpler approach to naming, and to understand the differences between the speakers. Overall Summary - excellent audio performance, value for money and good fit and finish. Good for most music except songs with the deepest bass. ... show more

  • Nice room filling sound. No Alexa ability on its own.
Color: black
I had to connect the R1280DBs with the WiiM Pro Receiver to be able to connect with Alexa and control. I have the R1280DBs paired with a Klipsch Sub-120 Subwoofer and WOW what a sound. The R1280DBs provide the high and Mid tones and the sub takes care of the lows easily. Overall, a great pair of powered speakers but you will need something to add if you want Alexa control. The R1280DBs for the price have a nice build quality and weight and by themselves are OK but do not deliver the lows if like me you want anything appreciative as far as a feeling of a punch to the chest which you will need to hook up a sub or subs to get there but there is NO bookshelf speakers that will come close to doing that by themselves. I like the sound and quality and price are AA+. ... show more

  • Good for the money...
Color: black
Listening is so subjective; I am a bit of an audiophile and I see a lot of reviews proclaiming the greatness of these speakers, but I kept my expectations reasonable and they have been met. Here's my impressions after listening to these for an hour or so: The Parcels sound fantastic on these. James Blake . . . doesn't. - These fall off dramatically below ~80Hz - they seem to be tuned to complement a subwoofer regardless of whether one is actually connected. I see Edifier sells a sub that probably works great with these, but I have no interest in that. Modern technology has done some amazing things, and I have heard much better sub-bass from much smaller speakers. - Bluetooth works well and has been solid, APT-X is a nice bonus, setup was easy. - The remote is light and cheap, you need good aim to operate it, and often the first click of a button is not registered. It works, but keep your expectations low. - The 'sound field extension' feature reminds me of the 'room' style effects from receivers in the '90s - turning it on cranks up everything around ~500-1kHz and adds an echo. It brings out a lot of detail but it overpowers the rest of the audible range. With the feature disabled, it sounds as if that same frequency range has been turned down just a bit, to make the difference more noticeable. If it had an adjustment range instead of on/off, I would likely make use of it on a very low setting. - As others have noted, the Treble and Bass adjustments don't do very much. Treble seems to affect around 5kHz - not terribly useful. - The sound quality is otherwise very good for speakers at this price point. They do get quite loud without any distortion at all. For a set of bedroom speakers where I have no space or desire for a subwoofer, I do wish they had better response at lower frequencies, but they are otherwise very well qualified for the job. ... show more
