Review: Amazing Speakers for the Price! - Amazing Speakers for the Price! I honestly didn’t expect these to be this good. The Edifier R1280T look really nice in person — the wood finish and overall design make them look way more expensive than they actually are. They fit perfectly on my desk and give off that clean, modern vibe without taking up too much space. Sound-wise? Crazy good. The audio is super clear, the bass hits just right without drowning everything out, and the highs stay crisp even when I turn them up louder than I probably should. I’ve never owned speakers at this price point that sound this balanced. For how cheap they are, the quality feels unreal. They don’t feel “budget” at all — from the build, to the sound, to the little remote that comes with them. If you want great-looking speakers with amazing sound without spending a ton, these are 100% worth it. I don't think there is bluetooth or anything. But the Lifespan seems really good and again.. The Functionality is there!
Review: Clarity and power! - Punchy bass! Great, clear audio! Volume is excellent and controlled via the right speaker or a handy remote. I would definitely buy these again! They fit perfectly in my record table cabinets which are not very large and look beautiful. Super easy to use and setup!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How is the bass with these speakers?  Most of my music wouldn't require much, but I do like the occasional gangster rap album.**
A: I just set up a pair sourced by a Victrola unit that I picked up for convenience in my second parlor. The Victrola has modest and uneventful sound. These speakers changed everything. 
The room is 15’x25’ with 9’ ceiling and exposed  historic 3x 8 floor joists every 20”. 
Playing cd’s I am now getting concert hall sound with surprising base. I have them playing moderately loud, but not head banging loud. 
They are much more than I expected and certainly for the price. 
I highly recommend if you want good sound on a budget and are not wanting as party speakers.

**Q: Does the front plate come off?**
A: There’s a picture showing that the front plate comes off.

**Q: Will they work well as TV/home theater speakers?**
A: They could. These speakers accept RCA inputs (the round red and white connecrors) , so as long as your TV or device outputs to an RCA connection, you can use these speakers. They also come with a 3.5mm adapter so you could connect a mobile phone, tablet, pc or similar device. If you already have a stereo system and are looking for speakers for it, these are not the best option. These speakers have a built in amp, and the right speaker doesn't accept standard speaker connections as input.

**Q: Are these speakers bluetooth?**
A: This particular model  of the R1280 series - the R1280T - does not have Bluetooth. But Edifier makes several different models of R1280's, and one of them - the R1280DBs - does have Bluetooth. ZDNet recommended it as their "best value" computer speakers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Sound for $100
*by Z***L on June 20, 2016*

I am by no means an audiophile but I also didn't want cheapo junk speakers and I also wouldn't benefit from anything more expensive. I did alot of research and had a thread going on overclock dotnet. I gave myself a budget of $100 as I wanted better quality sound then cheap PC speakers and felt anything more than $100 for me and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference anyway. Originally I was looking at getting these Mackie CR3's: Mackie CR3, 3" Creative Reference Multimedia Monitors They have very good reviews, arent super large and appear to be high quality. While a minor thing, and not even close to the reason I chose the 1280T's, but I wasn't a fan of the green theme of the CR'3. My system is read and black themed, desk is dark brown wood grain, and most else is black. Someone in the forums I mentioned brought up these Edifier 1280T's and I had never heard of them before. They also had relatively few reviews here. The reviews they did have though were good, specifically from the other 2 customers who mention the CR3's as well. Not being real into audio I figured if people vouch for the sound quality of both then I should consider all other factors. The 1280T's are larger (4" vs 3") which depending on the space you have could be a plus or minus. For me I had enough room and figured if I could get bigger speakers for the same price I should consider it. Also the 1280T's have the controls on the side which I like, a elegant aesthetic to them that I think would fit in with more than the green of the CR3's, and they include a simple but useful remote. The 1280T's also have AUX RCA which I liked. The CR3's do have the ability to switch Right/Left however. I also like the front cover of the 1280T's. I just got the 1280T's setup and the quality was noticeable as I was taking them out of the box. They have that weight all quality electronics have to them. Everything was packed reasonably well and 0 damage to any items in the box. Got them hooked up in a minute or 2 to my PC and was blown away at the sound quality, even at lower volumes. One of my problems prior with a cheap bullet speaker was that dialog was hard to hear. Not with these the vocals/dialog do not get muddled by the bass or mids. Not being an audiophile the best I can do to describe the sound is to say its much more lifelike than any other speakers I have in my house or have heard when I'm out shopping. It sounds natural, not like I am listening to speakers. I am also hearing instruments and sounds that I did not before in various songs/media. I would 100% recommend these to anyone with the same budget and needs as me. It was also recommended to me that I get a better cable than what comes with the speakers. This is the cable I got and while generally the cable doesnt matter to me the quality of this cable also impressed me. Mediabridge 3.5mm Male to 2-Male RCA Adapter (12 Feet) - Step Down Design - (Part# MPC-35-2XRCA-12 ) I dont think you can go wrong with these. For what its worth Im sure the CR3's are not bad either, they may even be better in some ways, but I am very satisfied with the 1280T's.
