I bought 2 pairs because they are extremely impressive.

They are more bias toward serious music listening than pop music, yet they are cool enough for video games and movies. They may be too analytical for youtube podcast voice.

While the mid and high are extremely impressive, they give a vibrant image and give a soul to human voice, the bass is really boomy and annoying most of the time. The solution is to turn that bass knob to 25% or even 0% and the bass will be just perfect (0% does not remove the bass).

These speakers are for audiophiles on a budget. To get to that mid, high frequency quality and presence, you would have to pay 500 to 1000$. The quality of design and manufacturing is simply perfect, tight and sturdy.

This is the only electronic product in the world where the led light underneath the cover fabric does not blind you in the dark. I always have to put tapes over every LED light on TV, Consoles, PC... because they are too strong. This is the only product that does it correctly, you see the light even during the day, but in total darkness it does not hurt or blind you and you can sleep right next to it, it is simply visible without projecting light.

The 3D mode is the most horrible and useless thing ever, turn that thing off immediately. You don't need a sub with that thing, the bass is good enough.

The sub output is controlled by the volume, so it is perfect for my tactile subwoofer (Buttkicker).

I produce a lot of commercial audio content using Pro Tools and Adobe Premiere. I've had an issue mixing in my headphones trying to guess how the finished sound will translate into everyday speakers, smartphone playback and car audio systems. I'm not in a workspace where I can blare sound through external speakers either. These Edifier speakers are perfect for what I need - lower speaker volume spills out the delicate parts of highs and the bottom end still punches through without muddying the experience during the mix-down and finalization while still being able to balance that fine line between too much reverb and not enough - same with delay. I run the speakers out of my Focusrite Scarlett1/4" to RCA. Another cool feature is the remote on/off & volume control - I can move around my office space and move the volume up and down remotely to test the mix at different volumes from different listening angles - let's just say you find PLENTY of opportunities for improvement in the mixing that way. Solid product that I would have happily paid twice the price for :)

These little speakers are truly as lovely as everyone says. I bought a pair to place on either side of the bed in my travel trailer in order to improve the sound of the TV. The sound quality exceeded my expectation: warm, rich, crystal clear with a deep full base. I deliberately did not buy the Bluetooth version because I don't like the finicky nature of Bluetooth connectivity. For listening to music, I stream Spotify through Apple TV which goes through these lovely speakers. Perfect setup. Thank you Edifier.

These are a great set of little speakers. I have set up a new office for myself and had some basic requirements for my speakers. They had to be powered, they had to be attractive, they had to sound nice, and they had to connect to each other with standard speaker cable! These speakers check all the boxes.

I love the faux walnut finish. The mesh grille has a simple design, and the whole unit is very elegant looking.

These are powered, so no need for an amp which is nice. They come with RCA cables, and RCA to 3.5mm, so you can easily hook these into a DAC/reciever or your motherboard. They also have a sub out port, so if I want some more bass later that's an option.

These are connected via regular old speaker wire. This was a big one for me, as I have them mounted about halfway up the wall in the corners. I can make a wire as long as I want since they are not hard hard wired together or use some proprietary cable. So my wire goes all the way down to the floor, along the molding, and up to the other speaker, nicely hidden in cable channel. Very nice. (Speaker wire and channel all bought on Amazon very inexpensively!)

And as for the sound. They sound fantastic. They're little, but so is my office, and they more than fill the space. Pleasantly surprised by the amount of bass they have without adding a woofer. I can crank them up louder than is comfortable for me, and I don't hear any distortion. They have built in tone controls for bass, and treble, so you have a bit of control over the sound that way to tweak it just right.

All in all, I love these speakers. Great sound for the price, attractive looks, and feature rich.

Been an edifier customer for almost 2 decades now, they are my goto choice for computer speakers. Sadly their price has been slowly creeping up over the years. I remember my first one (model number something 1300, basically the same thing) was like 20 USD haha.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2020 Update to Popular Speaker
Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2020
Style: r1280tsVerified Purchase
*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.

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.

It produces a wonderful sound. Similar to other reviews I will say it is a bit bassy. If you turn bass down to lower setting you can get to a reasonable level. Works well for vinyl players with a clean, clear sound.
