Edifier R1280T Powered Bookshelf Speakers - 2.0 Active Near Field Monitors - Studio Monitor Speaker - Wooden Enclosure - 42 Watts RMS

I don,t often give reviews but for once a bargain that got me excited.I bought these Edified Speakers for £99 on prime.Now for the review.1.Easy set up.2.The Sound quality for a bookshelf speaker is exceptional with Treble and Bass adjusters to suit even an audophile like me with a deep bass sound.3.The look is top Drawer I bought the light wood effect which sets of my Audio Technica Turntable.Vinyl sounds amazing through these speakers if your a Vinyl enthusiast.4.Remote control only offers Volume Control but operates from a good range if needed.5.The rear of L speaker has the ports for speaker to speaker wiring,Two sets of RAC Ports Inc Auxiliary for Pc which I have connected through to my laptop which is a great bonus..5.This is only my opinion of these Speakers which only matters to me but for a very affordable price I don,t think these can be beaten for all round quality.I,ve now had the speakers for 1 year and already they have developed a problem.On low or medium volume with bass and Treble at medium the Live right speaker has developed an awful vibration.With the bass and Treble turned low and volume set to very low the noise persists.I,ve tried to get through to exchange or upgrade through Amazon returns but to no avail.I still stand by my first review a great buy.But after only a year expected more.I,ve raken the front covers off and it looks as if main speaker may have blown or become dismounted in some way I don,t know why but not happy.There you go had my moan,I may learn to buy better next time.

EDIT: 18 Jan 2025... These are so good I bought another set for an electronic drum kit!I bought the first set of these speakers in June 2024 (original review below) and recently tested them on an Alesis Nitro Max drum kit, and they're superb for it indoors. Sound is clear, rich, punchy and gives the drums a proper full sound of the drums and cymbals it's emulating. It sounds excellent.I'm seriously impressed with these speakers given the price (this second set I bought again cost under a hundred quid) and quality of not just the construction but the sound too.Original review;I got these while they were listed at £99.99 with free delivery, and wow they're spot on!Easy enough to set up, and comes with a bunch of leads and cables to help get started. Also has remote for the volume, and has bass & treble controls on the side as well as a volume knob.We got them to enable our record deck to give its best, and crikey it worked! Sound quality is rich, full, from bass to treble, punchy and our vinyl hasn't sounded as good for years! Seriously impressed with the size, cost and sound of these little beauties.Overall very impressed indeed, they fill the room (indeed the house!) with rich, deep, clear music. I'm almost lost for words given the less-than-a-hundred-quid pricetag!

Brilliant speakers for the value. The EQ is flat so its a neutral sound but it has treble and bass adjustment. I recommend pushing both up a little bit and the sound quality gets even more wilder. Ive got these hooked up to my Audio Technica LP120X turntable but these can be great for PC set up with a DAC or a home theatre set up. Cable length is plenty enough though the power cable could be longer.

These are great for the price - I got a pair with a damaged box for £77. The remote it comes with and the side control for volume/bass are a great step up from the model below and the sound quality is pretty decent for something in this price range.BUT I really wish they went quieter. On the quietest setting it's too loud for the room I've got them (standard size lounge) and I think it's likely very annoying for the neighbours. I'm having to muffle them with speakers to take the edge off but they're still louder than I'd usually play music - I have no idea what the louder settings are like but I can only assume they'd vibrate the whole house and smash my plates.

I bought these to replace a sound bar i had which was okay but not the best. Once i installed these the sound quality difference was amazing i was well impressed.I game alot and when playing certain games i notice sounds i never heard before when i had the sound bar. Racing games have new life as i can actually hear tyre squeal when taking cornersThe wires are really long so can get these bad boys into a position that suits you best. The connections are easy to set up and the manual is easy to understand.Not all is great though the one problem i found is if you, like me, turn off your gaming set up or tv set up off by the wall be prepared for when you turn it back on for these speakers to come on at max volume. I cant imagine how bad it would be if i still owned a ps2 and found that out the hard way 😆.The speakers do come with a remote control but its basic and ive already put it away and cant find it but dont fear if you do as the one speaker has dials you can turn to adjust volume and bass

My mother is a music lover, big into her Hi-Fi and setups back in the nineties. Those days have passed and her music passion still simmers on her iPhone and desktop. I'm not an audiophile by any stretch (more into books and writing) but did some research into getting a good set of speakers for her birthday. These provided exactly what I needed.Firstly, you can't overlook the price. I had looked at the 'lesser' Edifier models but opted for these as value for money felt the £30 extra. I'm glad I did. The sound on the speakers are incredible, you can feel the music in the air, 3D, and aspects of songs your laptop speakers would never dream picking up. They look neat on the desk, stylish with most settings and controlling them a breeze. All in all, a solid speaker pick for music (and television, Jurassic Park is an experience with them!)

Great speakers. I've had them for over a year now and I play them loud quite a lot which they're good at. The sound is clear and the setup is quite easy.
