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.

Just know if you want better sound quality for phone maybe buy a Bluetooth adapter
Honestly a really good product if your looking for a less expensive speaker option for your pc, amazing sound quality when connected to your computer but it’s kinda struggles when connected to a phone. It has great clarity, and it’s easy to connect, also really great bass.

Way better than a soundbar.
If you're looking for speakers to use for music and/or with your tv that have quality sound without breaking the bank, these are an excellent choice. I had heard that Edifier made good inexpensive speakers but boy was I surprised...Compared to TV speakers or a cheap soundbar the sound is so much fuller, it is a night and day difference. The midrange and treble is great, and the bass surprised me. The 1280 can put out a bit of boom! Not as deep and loud as having a subwoofer (though there is a version that lets you connect a sub), but still WAY better than TV speakers or a soundbar. Great for gaming!Speaking of soundbars... If you're thinking of buying a soundbar for your TV, stop now and just get these! There is no way in heck you're going to find a soundbar that sounds as great as these in the realm of $100-200. You'd have to spend beyond $300-400 to get a soundbar that equal or surpass these in sound. You should only consider a soundbar if you literally have no space around your TV to set these up.And speaking of setup, it is easy. These are self-powered speakers so all you have to do is plug the power in, then connect them to your device and you're ready. I have the "DB" version which supports optical input as well as bluetooth. If you want to use it with your TV I highly recommend getting the DB version so you can use an optical cable.

Excellent speakers...remote needs some work.
These speakers sound great for the money. I have them in my study room that is 20' x 20' and they are plenty loud with better than average fidelity. I gave them only four stars because the remote isn't very responsive. You have to push the on/off button several times before the speakers will turn on or off.

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.
