Edifier R1280T review: These attractive speakers deliver solid performance

For basic audio, cheap isn't always bad—a pair of $25 computer speakers can provide decent playback. Take the Creative Pebble, our current top pick for budget speakers, which comes in at $20 and can stand toe to toe with some models twice its cost. But...

Pleasing audio Bass remains smooth at higher volumes Physical knobs for bass and treble adjustments Capable of loud volume

Audio distortion at higher volumes Default audio profile allows bass to overwhelm mids and highs

You can find low-cost speakers that perform well, but paying more generally results in a richer audio experience. Such is the case with these Edifier speakers.

Edifier R1280T Review

We're seeing fewer and fewer speakers like the Edifier R1280T these days. Intended to work with home stereos and PCs, they have dual inputs so multiple sound sources can be connected simultaneously, and unlike most of what we test in this price range,...

Powerful audio performance with rich lows and bright, clear highs. Adjustable bass and treble. Can connect to PCs and mobile devices, as well as any gear with an RCA output.

Can be pushed to distortion at absolute top volumes. No wireless capabilities.

Edifier's R1280T speakers deliver rich, balanced audio with adjustable EQ in a handsome design for an affordable price.

EDIFIER RT1280T POWERED BOOKSHELF SPEAKER REVIEW

The Edifier RT1280T was a pleasant surprise for such a low-cost speaker. I used it in my medium sized bedroom to temporarily replace a pair of KEF LS-50 speakers, costing 15 times the Edifier. If reviews from retailers like Amazon are to be believed,...

Ease of setup 2 inputs All cables supplied Modern styling Build quality Audio quality at the price

Create a power on/off on the remote Power on LED out of sight on the side of the speaker. Need a better position.

The speaker sounds quite good, and it looks good too, with a thoughtful design and a sturdy build quality. You can knock on the sides of the speakers and you don’t hear resonances.

The Edifier R1280T bookshelf speakers want to provide a quality audio experience at a price that won't leave your ears ringing.

Very good sound ; Reasonable price ; Nice design ; Solid construction

Consumer review (productreview.com.au)

Good sound, nice looking

Just brought these as wanted to move my Amp and record player/radio to another room. I needed a unit that could pack some punch and cover my TV and computer. This does both. I initially thought the speakers sounded tinny, but do not notice this at all...
