Thank you for your honest review of our R1280DBs Powered Bookshelf Speakers! We value your feedback and strive to provide our users with the best experience!
I liked the Edifier R1280DBs (upgraded) so much I bought 2 pair. Didn't care for the wood grain, so have the black. One pair connected to Alexa devices, the other pair connected to my PC. @Tech Man Douchebag I also think your criticism of the Sub/bass is exaggerated and over the top and unreasonable and should be ignored!
Great speakers for the price ! 119 Eur in Lithuania :) I plug into Smart TV with optical cable, audio quality is pretty good :) Bass is not impressive, because these speakers can play down 51 Hz... Is very high Hz.. If you need bass, plug T5 subwoofer. :)
Ever since I bought the razer speakers for $160 i've been wanting to upgrade because the high end is absolute GARBAGE... I should have got the creative speakers at the time. I was looking at the more expensive version of these Edifiers in the last month so I'm really glad for this review, what timing!
@JoeBloggs ignore most of what this guy says - he's a natural born attention whore who uses negative criticism to get attention, he knows nothing about tech or audio
I connected mine to my Samsung Crystal TV, by Bluetooth. Normally their is audio loss when connecting by Bluetooth, but it sounded just as good as the optical connection. I did this because my TV remote could then control the audio, perfectly. I connected the speakers to my Klipsch sub and the sound was incredible better. Highs, mids and of coarse the bass greatly improved. I have the Klipsch Quartet surround system. I put them in a box and stuck them in my storage room. I still can't believe these speakers sound better.
In less than 2 years (with very very little usage) they started emitting a crackling / buzzing noise noise and all the help from Edifier support couldn't fix the problem. Chucking them out and switching brands.
Yeh, just like the whole range of Logitech, I've had 3 sets of the THX Z623 go CRACKLE on me, Logitech knows of the problem for the last 6 yrs but hasn't done a damn thing in fixing it, they even sent me a replacement set out of goodwill, but even that set broke down under 4 months, stay away from Logitech Speakers, all Chinese garbage
Thoughts on Klipsch R-51M Bookshelf Speakers with AT-L60X-BT turntable. I’m afraid that are too big! I was getting the edifier R1280DBS because of the size. It’s a Christmas gift, and she young & she is brand new to turntables, so I could always updated as she gets older. Trying to get a descent pair of speakers. Debating between with 51M and 41M. Are the klipsch’s plug and go too like the edifiers? Thanks!
Hey, Tech man pat. could you please think about including the product name in the description, not just an amazon link? cheers bud. and you do so much for the Australian pc community. THANK YOU!.
Awesome review as always. I've been looking for some nearfield speakers for my recording setup. Slightly different requirements, and so far have had my eye on the Yamaha HS5. Am curious to see if you guys run any nearfield speakers for live streaming?
hmmm yt seems to have deleted my comment, presumably because I dropped a URL. I ended up going with the smaller Mackie CR-X Series 3 inch as they are Stereo. Perfect for what I need, and I think the HS5's are only a single mono speaker.
I have a Samsung subwoofer that came with a soundbar (not separate powered), I wonder if you know, could I put a jack plug on that subwoofer cable and plug it into this speaker or would that not work?
Hello man. I have an logitech subwoofer and i don t know how to connect with these edifier speakers, because i want to purchase them. Can you help me? Thanks, great day!
3:14 I don't know who you're referring to when you say "audiophiles" but this statement is factually incorrect. Using optical would bypass your computer's (or even your TV's) internal DAC, which for most people would actually improve sound quality. Nobody I know would say "It doesn't matter," or, "Its only more convenient to plug in a single cable."

Are the R1280DB and R1280DBs both powered by identical class D amplifiers?

Finally someone said it!
Have you tried it with added Edifier T5? Sounds incredible then

Yeah razer speakers they look aweesome but thats where the budget went.

WHAT REVIEW?
Im gettin this because i love the simple design/small. Use it for movie 😉
Totally resonates with the title. Had a KEF LSX and have been wondering why i spent > 10 times the money on the LSX
I'm thinking of buying these for my LG tv . Does the tv control the volume or? And if so can i connect my old Edifier Subwoofer of a 2.1 set to it?

i have Edifier speakers,one thing thats bad is you can NOT stop ppl from connecting to the BT,and then playing funny sounds at 2 AM. GG

Hmm sorry to hear, mine are still going well.

For the driver size, it brings a decent umph already. I'd say still that it's not "bad"
The led on the front tells you what it is connected too green,red or blue !
Can these be connected to PASSIVE Subwoofer?

Sorry fair call will do !
@@TechManPat HEY TECH MAN could you please actually do a PROPER REVIEW, like you know actually hook up the cables, I mean, how LAZY can you get?
@@TechManPat If you are an Aussie, why do you have rhotic "r" like an American? Sad. Great review otherwise.🙂
Coas English was not my first language and I learned from TV rather than Aussie school.
@@gozza7199 You are kidding right? Great review? He couldn't even bother to hook up the cables so the viewer has no idea what the sound sounds like
Your information is very helpful, thank you.
Awesome review as always. I've been looking for some nearfield speakers for my recording setup. Slightly different requirements, and so far have had my eye on the Yamaha HS5. Am curious to see if you guys run any nearfield speakers for live streaming?
not sure about these guys, but I run a pair of KRK Rokit 6 G3's and they are pretty good, Mackies and Yammy's aren't bad either imo 😃
Back at uni I used nearfield ones, for live editing and post editing music, but havnt touched them since.
hmmm yt seems to have deleted my comment, presumably because I dropped a URL. I ended up going with the smaller Mackie CR-X Series 3 inch as they are Stereo. Perfect for what I need, and I think the HS5's are only a single mono speaker.
I have a Samsung subwoofer that came with a soundbar (not separate powered), I wonder if you know, could I put a jack plug on that subwoofer cable and plug it into this speaker or would that not work?
I think its wireless? If there is a single RCA plug then yes you should be able to.
@@TechManPat YOU THINK? REALLY? TECHMANPAT YOU THINK? YT won'
t allow me to say what I really THINK of you
hi... my sub has no Rca only 3.5mm in self powerd . . . it is still works to pair with this r1280dbs? TIA, much appreciated.
what exactly do you mean "to at least be considered for the upgrade" in you're last video for fibre to the curb upgrades?
Hi. I'm looking at these speakers to go with my LG smart TV. I'm not technical at all. So would these work with the tv
Yes, but you would be better off getting a TV sound bar for better functionality
I see you have z906 too, which sound better??
Can u turn bluetooth off if not in use?
Hello man. I have an logitech subwoofer and i don t know how to connect with these edifier speakers, because i want to purchase them. Can you help me?
Thanks, great day!
You will need a little adapter to 3.5mm but it should work no issue.
Do you recomend to add the subwoofer Edifier t5 to this r1280dbs pair?
Yeah for sure, it would be a nice addition, if within your budget
Are these goof for video editing?
How do you connect to a desktop that doesn't have a dedicated soundcard but just using the onboard motherboard sound? What cable to use?
Why are you asking Pat? He can't even be bothered to hook up the cables for this review on SPEAKERS
@@carlmagrath6389 haha.. wow didn't know after a year, someone responded
@@jamesmadison3108 You'd think he would answer ppl's questions, it's not that hard, I answered it
Can I play my keyboard and guitar directly or using any audio mixer in this?
Plzz reply
