## Description

desertcart.com: Edifier R1280T Powered Bookshelf Speakers - 2.0 Active Near Field Studio Monitor Speaker - White Enclosure - 42 Watts RMS : Electronics

Review: Worth every penny! - Great value with clear sound quality. Setup takes probably 10 minutes or so. Treble and bass are easily adjustable, has incredible range as well. A bit blocky but clean, sleek look. Cables have stayed in place well so far.
Review: Brilliant sound on a budget! - 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!

## Features

- 2 x AUX INPUT - Convenient connection to any device that has a 3.5mm headphone output or dual RCA output. Connect to two devices via AUX at the same time, no plugging and switching needed.
- STUDIO SOUND QUALITY - Natural sound reproduction from 13mm silk dome tweeter and 4 inch full range unit
- REMOTE CONTROL - Adjust volume at your figure tips. Bass and treble control located on the side of main speaker.
- CLASSIC WOOD FINISH - High quality MDF wood build finished with wood effect vinyl serves as a great compliment to any home decor.
- SIDE PANEL CONTROLS - Use the side panel knobs to adjust the EQ to your liking.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for vinyl and CDs
*by A***S on January 3, 2026*

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.
