    • Great value bookshelf speakers
Style: r1280ts
Fantastic set of speakers. I was tempted to get a soundbar or a typical set of "PC Speakers" for my use case, but I'm very glad I went with these. Using them as PC and PS5 speakers. Wonderful clarity, good punchy bass, while still maintaining a good form factor. I like that I have the option to add a sub on later, but honestly, not sure I need one with these. Built in amp works well for fine tuning sound. ... show more

    • 2020 Update to Popular Speaker
Style: r1280ts
*Edited to add information about the subwoofer output. **Upgraded rating from 4 to 5 Stars. Explanation at end. This appears to be a slightly updated version of the popular and widely reviewed R1280t speaker. There are hundreds of reviews, both professional and customer, of this speaker on Internet, so I won't rehash them. The primary differences: (1) the addition of a subwoofer connection, with associated circuitry to provide an electronic crossover* when a sub is connected, and (2) addition of a signal-processing feature to create a wider stereo image, and modification of the remote control to add a switch for that feature. I cannot categorically state that the "R1280ts" version sounds identical to the earlier version. The dimensions, driver complement, and design appear to be the same. Specifications also seem to be the same. All indications are that it’s the same acoustically as other “1280” models. Most of the reviews you'll see will conclude with some version of "for the money..." And that's the right way to look at these speakers. They are not the finest powered bookshelf speakers in the land. Not the loudest. Not the bassiest. Not the most extended highs, not the most neutral-sounding. But -- for the money -- they offer more than you might expect. They sound good if you don't turn them up too loud, if you sit reasonably close and don't try to fill the room with sound. They make great computer speakers that will let you hear music without giving up too much bass, or listen to podcasts or news with clarity. **My critique of the sound is that they have a very slightly boxy quality, a lack of the transparency that, to be fair, is usually the hallmark of much more expensive speakers. But at the same time aren't boomy, muffled, harsh, or any of the other flaws that plague most inexpensive speakers. For the money, I believe they offer great bang-for-the-buck. I plan to add a small powered subwoofer soon. If that changes anything about how these speakers sound beyond the obvious, I'll amend this review. *I did add a sub - a Monoprice SSW-8, a "slim" sub with the conventional connections and controls for a home theater sub. I connected the Edifier sub out to the sub's line inputs (requiring a 3.5mm-to-RCA adapter cable; you could use the one that comes with the speakers if you didn't use it already). This setup works well. Extending the bass another octave or more definitely enriches the sound without changing the character of the speakers. It's by no means a necessary or transformative upgrade, but it's worthwhile. *(cont'd) The Edifier sub-out is basically a headphone jack. It is full-range; there is no "crossover." It is affected by all of the controls -- bass, treble, volume -- and, surprisingly, also by the "spacializer." I don't recommend using the spacializer when using a subwoofer. (Using this jack for headphones does not, of course, cut off the speaker sound. There is also something slightly "off" about the full-range sound coming from this port; it seems to lack full separation, and seems somewhat shrill. But it works for the subwoofer just fine.) Because the Edifers lack any way to control the sub out, you will need a sub with volume and crossover-frequency controls, and you probably want to place the sub where those controls remain accessible. I'm using a crossover frequency of about 100Hz, and of course set the volume by ear. Certainly the addition of the sub output at no increase in price is a worthwhile upgrade. It does what it needs to do, and no more. It would have been good to include a low-pass filter, but it's not generally needed. **These speakers seem to benefit very much from extended break-in. After about 50 hours use, the "boxy" quality referred to in the main text has largely disappeared, leaving the sound more natural than it once was. The high end is still just adequate, but overall the sound is acceptably neutral and uncolored, especially for a speaker in this price range. It wouldn't be 5 stars compared to the best bookshelf speakers available, but it doesn't deserve a demerit when compared to its direct competitors. ... show more

    • Excellent sound but have to return because of bass clipping (suspected input sensitivity issue)
Style: r1280ts
Review Image by Guillaume Guillaume
Well, I really wanted to love and keep these speakers but alas, it's not going to happen. It took me a while to settle on a pair of quality small yet affordable powered monitors that have a subwoofer output (and built-in crossover). These Edifier R1280Ts speakers seemed to be the right speakers, and if that was your whole system they might very well be! But that's not the case for me. These are my computer speakers, and I don't connect the speakers directly from the 3.5mm jack to the RCA input, instead I use a USB Digital-to-Analog Converter to take advantage of higher sampling rates. I listen to music on my Mac mini M1 mostly using Apple Music. The Mac mini M1 is connected to a Schiit Modi DAC via USB, which is connected to a Schiit Loki Mini+ Equalizer (awesome combo by the way). These two devices are connected via short 6" RCA cables, in turn connected to the Edifier Speakers also with short quality RCA cables. This is where things fall apart a little. Everything sounds great until I reach about 3/4 of the range when boosting the lower frequencies using the two leftward knobs on the Schiit Loki Mini+ equalizer. The bass starts clipping at any volume setting. This didn't happen when connecting the Edifier speakers directly to the Mac mini M1, or even when connecting the speakers directly to the Schiit Modi DAC. It would happen a tiny bit when connected the Mac directly to the Schiit Loki Mini+ equalizer, though not nearly as pronounced. At first I thought it was the equalizer that was the problem, and Schiit support was very responsive and helped me out by sending me a replacement (the equalizer I had purchased from them was from someone else returning it after all). Unfortunately the exact same thing happened with the replacement unit. I then tried 3 different amplifiers connected to small passive bookshelf speakers (a simple 2x50W amp, a 2x160W amp and finally a 2x50W+sub amp). When the Schiit Modi and Loki combo is connected to an amplifier and passive speakers, there is no clipping happening, even at higher volumes and the bass knobs boosted both on the amplifiers and the Loki equalizer. That's where clipping happens on the Edifier. I suspect the input sensitivity here is the issue, and the compatibility with the signal sent by the Loki Mini+ equalizer. Interestingly, I noticed that there was more clipping on the Edifier speakers when connected to the Line 1 input, vs the Line 2 inputs. I noticed this when trying to figure out what was wrong with the equalizer while working with Schiit customer support. It was faint enough I thought I was making it up. But then I looked at the specs on the speakers and saw that the input sensitive of Line 1 is 500mV±50mV and the input sensitivity of Line 2 is 700mV±50mV which I assume would explain why I heard more clipping when connected to Line 1. I can't find the specs for the first 2x50W amp I tried but I think its input sensitivity was probably advertised as "≤ 280mV.” The second amp was 775mV and the amp I am currently using is also ≤ 280mV. None of these have clipping at any volume I tested (the Edifier speakers would have clipping even at the lowest volumes). Anyhow, I am committed to the components I have more than I am to the speakers, hence my return. Despite all of these, the Edifier speakers sounded fantastic on their own. I wouldn't hesitate getting them if I had a different setup. ... show more

    • Blown away by the sound for the price!
Style: r1280ts
I got these to run as a laptop system just for watching YT videos and the like. I watch a lotta music industry-related videos, and worship-related videos. The small speakers I had just weren't cutting it. These sound absolutely great - especially considering the price point. The footprint is easy to live with considering the big sound you get back. I like that the one speaker is passive and powered/controlled by the other speaker. Controls feel great, are responsive, and I love the remote, especially. My desk is large, I use a 55" TCL for main monitor, and a 32" TCL for outrigger monitor, and the speakers are at a place where I would really need to reach forward for them, so having the remote makes it so great to use and keep hands right next to my wireless keyboard and mouse. Don't hesitate to buy these. I was completely surprised by the sound and quality of these speakers. ... show more
