R1280T Powered Bookshelf Speakers - 2.0 Active Near Field Studio Monitor Speaker - Black - 42 Watts RMS

These are fantastic speakers. They could very well go for twice the money is not more. Easy to connect and the controller is a huge plus. Just buy them, you won’t be sorry.

Well I thought I had been enjoying my record collection these last few years, but the purchase of these speakers came with the revelation that I had been cheating myself the whole time! If there's a better set of powered bookshelf speakers than the Edifier 1280T's in this price range, I haven't heard them. I've used numerous individual powered speakers and soundbars since starting my record collection but finally decided to get a more proper set, caught these on sale (which they frequently are), and went for it, and I couldn't be more happy, AND...they haven't even been through the break-in period yet! These speakers are absolute powerhouses for this range, strong bass, solid consistent mids, and crisp and clear treble. The remote is convenient, but the side controls are easy to work with as well. I'm just getting started with these speakers but they have definitely reinvigorated my passion for enjoying the ritual of music! Sitting down, no distractions, and truly hearing records, LOUD and beautifully, the way they should be listened to! They look great paired with my Audio Technica LP60X and sound even better. For listeners wanting a truly enjoyable vinyl experience on a budget, this turntable and the Edifier 1280T's are one hell of a good start, take it from a lifelong music fanatic!

I’m no audiophile, but I love good music. I got these this morning for a new record player setup (Audio-Technica), and needed simple audio output for family members without the patience for a dedicated amplifier. Set took about 90 seconds, then just now I listened to a DragonForce album… 🤯 I feel like I’m listening to the music for the first time (I’ve listened to the album loads of times before in other formats, but this time I kept thinking, “Where did all these notes come from?”) Speakers provide crisp highs, full lows. It was easy to set up (about 90 seconds), and it provides great sound in our living room, packaged in a compact and user-friendly design. My temporary setup is kinda scrunched up. But if your setup is a bit more spread out, the connection wire between speakers is 9-10 feet long. Provided RCA-to-RCA input cables are ~65” long. Provided 3.5mm-to-RCA input cable is also ~65” long. Power cord is hardwired to the active speaker, with a simple 2-prong plug (no ground or transformer). Simple 3-button remote does its job, it’s small, not trying to be fancy. Freq response is listed as 52Hz-20kHz. Power output of 21W+21W (DRC On).

Quality build... Look nice with a cloth speaker grill that can be taken off. Too quiet for my needs. These are great for casual listening and a step above built in monitor speakers. Decent bass and treble but turned all the way up is good for close listening only. Also if you have the volume all the way up and turn them off then you need to adjust the volume again. Set at 75 to 80% volume and they will reset to that level. I ordered a set of Gen 1 Presonus Eris 4.5 and they are 3 times louder. Returning the Edifiers for a refund.

Nice quality and budget friendly. I bought it so I could get some decent sound quality on my turntable but I also connected it to my Bluray so I can play CDs and it sounds great as well.

We’re a Sonos house, but I wanted a dedicated analog set up so I could listen to vinyl without having to us my phone and switch over the inputs etc — I’m so glad I found these speakers, everything I read in others reviews was true about the sound quality. Clean, crisp, and balanced! Simple set-up and easy to use. I especially appreciate the little remote included.

For PC Gaming this is absolute overkill and I LOVE IT. I had some Reddragon speakers that worked well for my smaller setup and i wanted to get an upgrade. oh boy did I get one, Left Right and Center audio is Clear. The Bass and Trebble was amazing (im not an audiophile but its still great). Modern Gaming turns into a studio quality experience with these bad boys. Im probably going to get another pair.

Good sound

Not a high output speaker set but they have great sound and very good build quality. The speakers hide nicely and don’t take up a lot of room. Two sources can be hooked up to them via RCA plugs and do not require switching (if you play both sources you will also hear them both simultaneously). Worth the money at regular price. A super bargain when they go on sale.

These are really sweet speakers! Better than many soundbars, homepods and other setups i have heard. By far one of the best 10k you can spend if you are an audiophile. Hook them up to a high quality audio source and enjoy rich melodious music with a good soundstage, clear mids and tight bass.

These are the best bookshelf speakers for 10k or under! Upgrading from normal Bluetooth speaker to these is a blessing. Never experienced such a good sound for desktop speakers before. Movies, music everything sounded perfect!

I purchased these speakers to connect directly to an Audio Technica turntable. The quality of sound reproduction from these speakers is incredible. It is worth noting that my review is based on playing LPs at lower, background-level volumes and listening to artists including Dylan, Lightfoot, Sinatra, Pearl Bailey and Hermans Hermits. In this scenario, the sound quality was jaw-droopingly good! I also listened to some Hendrix with the volume cranked and can say if anything, the speakers performed even better at louder volumes. They are great speakers, I am very pleased with my purchase and would whole-heartedly recommend these speakers

very very poor never using edifier speaker cannot connect to Lg tv
