Edifier R1280DB Powered Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers, Optical Input, Wireless Studio Monitors, 4 Inch Near Field Speaker, 42W RMS, White Silver

I decided to go Back2Black after a 25+ years seperation, I picked up a Dual 506 (1981) Turntable in mint condition and needed some active speakers, reading a few reviews and watching a few YT videos I went for these speakers, hooking them up via a pre-amp, so for £120 what do you get, well firstly they are really well made and look great i have removed the grills, the sound? i was quite suprised at how good it was, tweaking the bass and trebble nobs to suit the music and they pack a little punch you could feel the air pumping out the air vent, at full volume they hold out very well indeed, not overpowering, perfect volume for a terraced house living room, and not to loud for the neighbours lol, I have started collecting vinyl again and wow it really is the best way for music to be played, pumping out U2 Joshua Tree Live @ Madison Square Garden, Depeche Mode Live @ The Rose Bowl, really did turn back the years for me to my Vinyl collecting teenager days, then with these speakers there is the added bonus of hooking up all your devices via the bluetooth, there is an optical port, 2 x line inputs, coaxil port, the remote works great, so if you are looking for real value for money, and better than price sound from a well made speaker then look no further than a pair of these they wont dissapoint

Mr Edifier's little bookshelf active speakers are just brilliant. Bought them for use in kitchen - a 7m long room - and they will fill the space if asked. Quality improves the closer you get as you would expect from a bookshelf device. The sound quality is surprisingly good. Particularly so for human singing voice which, for me, is a paramount indicator of what a speaker can do. They are nearly as good as my Quad AS9 set in lounge. Given that the Edifiers cost £120 ("cheap" white ones) and the Quads were £600, this is just unbelievable value. They will handle just about every kind of music, from simple voice, through rock bands to full orchestra. The bass can be a bit heavy at times but is easily adjusted on the bass/treble dials. My stuff goes through digital equalisers on my PC and phone and they handle that well too. Useful set of input ports for just about every combination of line and digital. Only thing missing here is a USB input port which I would use when needing quality a bit better than Bluetooth. That said, the Bluetooth itself delivers pretty good sound quality. I have a CD player connected through the optical port and it works marvellously. Okay, they lack a lot of the digital stuff you get from "dedicated" Bluetooth speakers like Sonos and the like. But I don't want to be able to talk to them, I don't want them to play in other rooms or choose what they think I should listen to. Wouldn't mind if they could make me a coffee but we don't seem to have come that far yet! So, if you want really good quality sound for a budget price, buy the Edifiers. Great quality for absurdly low price.

First of all, I have no professional connection to either Edifier or Amazon – I'm just a customer. This review necessarily involves a comparison of three of Edifier's models (R1280DB, R1850DB and the S1000DB) so I have placed the review in each model's Amazon page. I hope you like reading – this review is a bit long, but I'm so impressed by the Edifier brand (and Amazon!) that I wanted to do it justice. I hope you will find it useful. I'm not an industry professional, just someone who is passionate about hi-fi. I'm also a physicist and so I'm fairly technical but I certainly don't claim to be any kind of expert so what you are getting here is simply a layman's opinion - although I'm fussy in the extreme about my music and home cinema! Part 1: The bedroom - Once upon a time… I got fed up being awoken by what sounded like a nuclear attack alarm from my phone every morning – I was certainly awake but I wanted to be gently brought into consciousness – not start the day with my heart pounding, thinking that I might cardiac arrest at any second! So, I bought a top of the range radio alarm at £170. It had three speakers, one of which claimed to be a "subwoofer". I wasn't overly impressed. I like my hi-fi and music, and mistakenly thought this might come close to a hi-fi sound – it did not. I had an Ocean Digital internet radio (no built-in speaker) lying around and discovered that it had dual alarms built in. I had the idea of being awoken by true hi fi sound in the morning – a bit indulgent, I know, but life is short so why not? I didn't really want an amplifier, cables and large speakers cluttering up the bedroom, so I thought of active speakers. I had never really considered them before as I thought they produced lower quality sound than passive speakers driven by a separate amplifier. I spent the best part of a day looking at reviews (from articles all over the world) and finally decided to give the Edifier R1280DB active speakers a try, even though I had never even heard of the company before. Given Amazon's outstanding customer service, I knew that I could return them with no fuss if they weren't up to standard. I bought the wooden finish type and was immediately impressed. They looked good in the bedroom and the sound was excellent, especially considering the price and the size of the speaker (small). My view is that this setup would be very difficult to beat by any of the (even high-end) one piece music systems available. OK, it's a bit indulgent for what is essentially an alarm clock (£120 for the speakers and around £40 for an internet radio) but the sound was superb. It kicked the radio alarm which I had purchased initially completely out of the park!!! Part 2: The kitchen Having been so impressed by the R1280DB, I talked myself into getting some speakers to sit beside the TV / satellite in the kitchen. I thought I'd go a bit further up the Edifier range and settled on the R1850DB at £160. This is where things got a bit more serious – this speaker delivers a true hi-fi quality sound, in my opinion. Obviously, we need to remember two things, namely the price and the size, so it's not going to match a £1,000 set of speakers and separate amplifier – but it's not far off that kind of quality, at least at moderate volumes. My main system is around that price, so I'm judging it against that. I think Edifier may be victims of their own excellent products here; at a price increase of only £40 (£160 versus £120), in my view there is a substantial jump in sound quality over the R1280DB, so much so that if you can stretch to it, the R1850DB is definitely the one to go for. Considering that you will hopefully be listening to these speakers for years to come, that additional £40 becomes even less significant. Part 3: Back to the bedroom… Having been totally blown away by the sound quality of the R1850DB speakers, how easy they were to set up and how tidy and unobtrusive they were, I returned the R1280DB speakers and moved the R1850DBs into the bedroom – I now actually look forward to the "alarm clock" going off in the morning – that's a first! Incidentally, if you are using these as an alarm clock, they need to be left on. I measured their power consumption when there is no input and it is just under 6 watts. By my calculation that is approximately one kWh per week (6 watts x 168 hours) so, if you leave them on 24/7, that should equate to less than 20p per week in additional electricity. Or you could, of course, just turn them on at night and off again in the morning. I have also linked them to a blu-ray player and the TV in the bedroom – they have transformed everything sound-wise! The additional digital connectors are a huge advantage here – see the note further on. Part 4: Back to the kitchen… For those of you who haven't gotten tired of me babbling on, you may have worked out that the kitchen is now missing a set of speakers… I was so impressed by Edifier's R1850DB that I started to look even further up the range. After ANOTHER day looking at reviews, the Edifier S1000DB model appeared to be receiving huge praise from every reviewer. However, at £280 (for Amazon Prime members, otherwise £300) these are not exactly budget speakers, so it took a few days before I talked myself into taking the plunge. Bottom line, I am hugely impressed with the S1000DB! Again, it is a step up from the R1850DB. However, it doesn't make the R1850DB sound bad in any way by comparison – I can wholeheartedly recommend both of these models. The S1000DB is a gorgeous speaker in terms of its looks, real wood (I believe) finish, and top-notch sound quality. Crystal clear treble, massive and controlled bass, this active speaker is on a par with a much more expensive setup of separate amp and speakers – and much tidier and unobtrusive for smaller spaces. I have it plugged into the TV and a satellite receiver in the kitchen where I can also listen to satellite radio, which is amazing quality sound. My opinion is that the R1850DB is the optimum price / performance compromise here, but you would not go wrong with whichever of this trio you went for. A brief summary of 'for' and 'against' each model would be: Model FOR AGAINST R1280DB Compact, looks, price Sound is good, but not hi-fi. R1850DB Optimum price / performance Maybe a bit plain looking S1000DB Top quality sound, bass, looks Nothing if you have £280 Additionally, with the exception of the S1000DB, the remotes are a bit on the cheap side. Edifier would do well to address this point as it would enhance the perceived quality of the system – after all, it is the only bit of the system that we regularly touch, and that tactile interface is important – to me, at least. I don't know if a universal remote could work here – comments are welcome. A few final thoughts: 1. Edifier make models with and without digital inputs. The …DB at the end of the model name stands for Digital plus Bluetooth. My recommendation is definitely to go for these additional digital inputs. They add slightly to the cost, but they massively increase the flexibility of the speakers. I have used all of the digital and analogue inputs and they all work flawlessly. 2. I briefly considered the S2000DB, which again won massive praise from all reviewers. Unfortunately, the price difference in the UK between those and the S1000DB was just too much for me. I would dearly love to hear the S2000DB and I will be watching the price carefully, just in case I need speakers for the bathroom…! Watch this space!!! 3. A final mention to Amazon. There were a few very minor snags during this buying spree but Amazon customer service, as always, fixed the problems instantly and without question. Thank you, Amazon! Being able to purchase equipment, which isn't exactly cheap, with total confidence in the seller is a huge plus point for the consumer. Thanks for "listening"… and good luck if you decide to purchase. I am certain you would not be disappointed with any of these models.

Currently using these R1280DB's with my PC setup (ASUS Prime Z370-A board, Realtek S1220A audio) for music, videos and gaming. They pack quite a lot of bass, which is very punchy and compliments electronic music genres, but also do well in other treble heavy stuff I listen to like J-Pop, Metal and instrumental tracks. There is no distortion in the bass reproduction and they have very good stereo separation with very little crosstalk between them, also there's no hiss or hum from the amplification, even at moderately loud volume levels. While watching movies, voices come through very clearly and the sound effects are very boomy. Build quality is very solid with a MDF(I think) body and a wood grain veneer over the top. The cloth mesh cover is easily removed and exposes the speakers, they are connected to each other via (silver/copper coloured) speaker wire which is inserted into peg terminals. The active right speaker has Bass, Treble and Volume controls and has 2 stereo RCA, 1 Optical and 1 Coaxial input, the power cord is non removable. They also have Bluetooth for connection to phones, version 4.0 is indicated on the box. Cables included are 1 stereo RCA to RCA, 1 3.5mm to RCA and 1 optical cable, no coaxial cable is included. An IR remote is included with battery and can control volume, power, mute, input selection, Bluetooth and track back/forward, play/pause while connected to Bluetooth device. Overall, very good for the price, I paid $109 AUD on an Amazon lightning deal, but would be OK with paying 129 for these, I would advise you to compare prices elsewhere if they are over 140 AUD. Also take note that the dates for dispatch and estimated delivery from seller to seller on amazon differ wildly, I went with Edifier Australia with fulfillment by Amazon and delivery was on time and prompt.

O som dessas caixas me surpreendeu muito. O som é limpo, claro, não distorce nada nem no volume máximo! São bonitas, embelezam a sala ou a minha estação de trabalho. Eu sou músico e posso dizer que são ótimas caixas pra se ter ao lado da tela, no home studio, pra ouvir a música sem ficar usando fones de ouvido durante várias horas. (Não são monitores de referência, são caixas multimedia de ótima qualidade). Essas caixas são MARAVILHOSAS pra ouvir a música e inclusive fazer gravações, desde que em volume baixo ou moderado. E o custo é bem baixo se comparar com outras caixas da mesma linha dos concorrentes! Não está correto comparar com monitores profissionais porque estas são caixas multimedia. Apesar da qualidade, estas caixas são especiais para fazer uma mixagem. Você até pode usar pra isso se não tiver como comprar monitores profissionais, mas o ideal é ter um bom par de fones de ouvido pra terminar a mixagem. Eu uso essas caixas pra ouvir música e também pra fazer minhas gravações no meu Home Studio. Mas na hora de terminar a mixagem eu uso um par de fones de ouvido profissionais. A função bluetooth é muito prática também. Conecto meus aparelhos e não preciso ficar plugando fios o tempo todo. Conecto a TV, meu celular ou o iPad, ando pela casa e o sinal é ótimo! Recomendadíssimo. Estou muito satisfeito com a compra.

Vaya por delante que no soy un audiófilo y el uso que le he dado a estos altavoces ha sido exclusivamente para escuchar música en streaming mediante bluetooth desde mi teléfono móvil con android. Pero he de decir que la calidad del sonido me ha impresionado. Tras unas primeras pruebas hice un pequeño ajuste consistente en bajar ligeramente los agudos que encontraba un pelín chillones, y subir algo los graves. Me imagino que el nivel del ajuste dependerá de donde se coloquen. Escucho principalmente música antigua y polifonía coral, y me gusta poder reconocer y seguir las diferentes voces e instrumentos. En este sentido la claridad y nitidez del sonido me ha parecido excelente. El volumen de los bajos totalmente satisfactorio e inesperado para mí en unos altavoces de este tamaño. Y el volumen libre de distorsiones es sobrado para un salón de unos 25 m2.. El mando a distancia es muy completo ya que posee todas las funciones necesarias para controlar la reproducción: selección de la fuente, encendido y apagado, parada y reanudación, avanzar y retroceder. En cuanto al bluetooth, a pesar de lo que había leído en algunas revisiones, la conexión me ha resultado totalmente estable. He instalado el equipo en una vivienda de dos plantas, y moviéndome con el teléfono de una planta a otra no se pierde la conexión. El codec soportado es el SBC, y sé que en teoría hay opciones mejores. En la práctica como digo la calidad del sonido no me ha decepcionado en absoluto. Finalmente, el único punto negativo que he encontrado es que el piloto que indica si los altavoces están encendidos o apagados está situado en el lateral de la caja derecha, en un hueco junto con todos los controles. Se echa de menos un piloto frontal, porque resulta incomodo comprobar su estado. Pero en cualquier caso no me parece suficiente motivo para no adjudicar las cinco estrellas.

Ho acquistato questi diffusori attivi per collegarli al televisore. Partiamo dal presupposto che non si tratta di diffusori hi fi, ma di un piccolo impianto audio che necessita solo di un telefono o computer per essere autosufficiente. La costruzione è accurata, il suono piacevole, con una curva ad U che esalta bassi ed acuti, ma lascia parecchi buchi nelle medie, un effetto loudness comunque piacevole e su cui si può intervenire con i controlli di tono. E' incredibile la quantità di bassi che il piccolo woofer riesce ad emettere, merito anche del sapiente accordo reflew. Le ho provate con dei segnali di frequenza e i 50 herz sono chiaramente udibili. La possibilità di connessione ottica, blue toot, rca ecc. è davvero completa. Per rendere il basso un po' più fermo, a seconda del posizionamento, si può intervenire sull'uscita reflex: io ho trovato la soluzione ideale con un mazzetto di cannucce, come nelle foto. Provare per credere.
