Excellence in every aspect.
I’ve been looking for a good pair of speakers to listen to music to, or maybe occasionally attach to my PC to be used as computer speakers when playing a really fun and immersive video game. I primarily just wanted something that sounded far more balanced than my JBL Charge 4 Bluetooth speaker. I also have a multi-media player that has terrible speakers, so I wanted to have something hooked up to that as well, in case I want to listen to old albums or cassettes. So far, I’ve been extremely impressed. Before I dive any further into this, please note that I am NOT an audiophile, and I understand full well that true audiophiles will probably have a lot of disagreements with my take on these speakers. I’m just a guy who wants decent, well-balanced sound that isn’t as bass-heavy as a JBL Bluetooth speaker is.PROSBluetooth connectivity. I keep a ton of music on my phone, so being able to connect wirelessly to my speakers is important to me. I have a Pixel 6 phone, and it connects to Bluetooth without any issues. It also doesn’t drop signal at all (at least not yet) and still maintains great sound quality for Bluetooth. I can also connect them to my PC via Bluetooth as well, but that actually doesn’t seem to hold as well, but I attribute that to my PC needing a new Bluetooth adapter, since as stated before, the speakers stay connected just fine to my phone.The optical and RCA audio cables offer more input options as well. I have my multi-media player plugged in via RCA cable, and if I ever want to use these as computer speakers, I can hook them up to my PC via the optical cable. I can even hook these up to my TV if I so choose with the optical cable, so there is a lot of versatility to these speakers. Another thing to note, these come with an optical cable, a decent length of speaker wire, and a set of RCA stereo cables. I was expecting to have to go and purchase these as most higher-end speakers don’t come with these cables, but these speakers do.The functionality is easier than expected. There are three dials on the side of the powered speaker: bass, treble, and volume. The volume button also acts as the power button and function button. So far, I’ve used mine in Bluetooth and RCA input, but have been highly satisfactory. The RCA a bit less so, but I suspect that’s more to do with my multi-media player than the speakers themselves.The sound quality is extremely pleasing. I took them for an initial test spin with some Billy Joel and Warren Zevon to get a feel for how these sound with classic rock. The sound was incredibly well rounded, crisp, and well-defined. I then took them for a bit of a stress test by cranking them up with some Knocked Loose and old Bleeding Through albums, and was still incredibly impressed. The bass was responsive but not overpowering at all, and I could hear every instrument as well defined as if I was wearing studio monitors, but with far more depth. As stated before, I am not an audiophile by any stretch of the imagination, but I still can recognize better sounding speakers, and these are definitely better sounding. I’ve had PreSonos speakers that cost a good deal more than these before, and I am far more impressed with these speakers that I was with the PreSonos.Overall, I am incredibly impressed with these speakers. I find the Bluetooth connectivity to be solid, the functions easy to use, and the sound quality superior to most of the speakers in this class, and certainly an incredible value, as many speakers with this level of quality can easily exceed $350. I would recommend these to anyone who’s looking to add great sound to their office, family room, game room, or wherever you need a great set of speakers. I would certainly order these again without hesitation.

Great speakers for the price point
You can find Bluetooth bookshelf speakers for a lower price: don’t.The Edifier R1280DB’s are well worth $150.I tried a couple of cheaper speaker sets. There seems to be some sort of “bass fetish” currently in vogue. All the speakers I tired had a good deal of bass — and nothing else. I like solid bass as much as the next guy, but I also like good treble and midrange — kind of hard to hear things like vocals, guitars, violins, etc. without that upper part of the spectrum.The 1280DB’s have good bass; they also have good mid- and upper range response. No, they’re not going to sound like JBL K2 S9900’s, but if you can afford those you’re probably not shopping on Amazon anyway. For $150, the sound is great: solid bass, clear vocals, and some “life” in the upper range that I found lacking in cheaper speakers.* Volume won’t knock your fillings out, but for a small set of bookshelf speakers it is more than adequate. Certainly blows rings around anything you can get directly out of most laptops or TVs.* Speaker/amplifier is very quiet in operation. I could detect no background hiss or other noise when between program material.* Bluetooth worked flawlessly. Paired instantly with every device I tried with it, did not drop connections, and latency was virtually unnoticeable.* One big plus of these speakers is that they actually have tone controls: treble and bass. A lot of Bluetooth speakers lack these, and they let you tailor the sound to your taste.* And this speaker pair can also be hard-wired to your stereo, computer, or TV, should you wish to go that route, rather than Bluetooth.* I could wish for a better (more sturdy) remote, and being able to remotely activate the tone controls would be handy, although not absolutely necessary.All in all, very happy with these. Recommended.

Edifier R1280DB Powered Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers – EXCELLENT VALUE!
Overall for the price, appearance, quality, ease of setup and use these speakers are well worth the money!I purchased the Edifier R1280DB Powered Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers to pair with the ION Audio Premier turntable.The speakers are very well constructed and look very nice. The speaker cabinets have a wood grain finish and RCA cables, speaker wire, optical wire and remote is included. The powered speaker has a volume, bass and treble controls on the side.Installation is very simple. RCA cables from the back of the turntable to the powered speaker, then connect the standard speaker wire to the second speaker. Note: There are two RCA line inputs on the back of the powered speaker. Bluetooth pairing was fast and painless and I have never had an issue.Several reviews have commented about the quality of the remote. It would have been great if they would have put a little more quality detail into it but overall the remote does its job and never fails to complete the task. In my opinion, it is a non issue. Another issue mentioned was the power button being on the back of the speaker. Again, to me this is a non issue. I leave the hard switch set to On and use the remote.Overall for the price, appearance, quality, ease of setup and use these speakers are well worth the money! You won’t be disappointed.
