Edifier R1280T 2.0 bk | R1280T BK

I finally did it! After numerous false starts and some encounters with some truly awful speakers, I arrived at the Edifier R1280T powered speakers. And I'm glad I did. But I *MUST* credit the Customer Reviews - they calmed and reassured me that I was making a good purchase. Let's start at the beginning. I have a set up where the SmartTV creates the "front" sound, and powered speakers at the back. So the sound from a good Blu-ray or UHD film on Amazon Prime sounds incredible - even though it's only 2.0 through four speakers. The back ones do more than just films though. They are connected to my (recently purchased) Majority Fitzwilliam sound system, and I can mix the sound to my liking - especially when playing Fallout 4 on the PlayStation. You NEED a good soundtrack for that! I've been using a pair of Creative T40 speakers that I purchased from Amazon about fifteen years ago - and I got a good deal at the time! They performed superbly, and they owe me nothing after a decade and a half of faultless performance; but after investing my Chrimbo Amazon vouchers in the Fitz, it was time to get a set that not only were more powerful - the T40s unbelievably were a mere 20W, whilst the R1280Ts are rated 42W - but also contain modern technology, they're sleeker and look nice on a shelf, and (hopefully) would produce better quality sound. It honestly was a proper annoyance trying to find speakers that didn't have the equivalent of a bit of string connecting them together - such are the joys of the sub £200 audiophile searches! Thus I ordered the speakers and five metres of jolly good cable to connect R to L. It was worth it! I tried it out (although it was quite late at night, so the volume couldn't go very high!) with "Journey of The Sorcerer" by The Eagles via Spotify, specifically because there are high treble notes and booming bass. Incredible sound! I was immediately hit with this beautifully clean audio. There was no hiss, no distortion, no "holding back". The treble and bass don't interfere with each other, and the clarity is mind blowing. I know it's the first night and everything, but after the test, I let the SmartTV sound play, and my wife's gaming sounded better than ever. In conclusion, if you're looking for quality audio on a tight budget, then a set of Edifier R1280Ts will deliver quality sound without having to smash too many piggy banks! NB: I always think of "the supplied cables" as a "Starter Pack" - just to test the equipment. If you can, replace them with quality cabling as soon as you can. You WILL notice the difference. Check out my review of the speaker cable I used to replace the nasty one that came with the speakers, and definitely upgrade to something like that.

After many many years of service my Harman Kardon's gave up and I managed for a while with cheap ones I had lying around. What a relief to now have these Edifiers. They are not small but well worth the space not to mention the money.

Ces enceintes sont tout simplement incroyables pour le prix. Si vous cherchez quelque chose de simple et pas cher pour avoir de la musique sur votre PC ou dans une petite pièce, c'est tout simplement parfait. Les avis positifs que j'ai lus partout étaient justifiés. Je recommande.

Pésima calidad, al altavoz izquierdo esclavo dejo de sonarle el twetter

Das sind wirklich sehr gute Lautsprecher zu einem unschlagbaren Preis und absolut kein Vergleich zu meinen vorher genutzten 20€ Stereolautsprechern von der Marke Speedlink. Die Verarbeitung ist TOP und wertig, der Klang einfach SUPER und dieser überzeugt mich voll und ganz beim Spielen und Musik hören am PC. Ich würde diese Stereolautsprecher auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen und wieder kaufen. Kurz zusammen gefast: Ich bin rundum zufrieden :-)
