Review: 2020 Update to Popular Speaker - *Edited to add information about the subwoofer output. **Upgraded rating from 4 to 5 Stars. Explanation at end. This appears to be a slightly updated version of the popular and widely reviewed R1280t speaker. There are hundreds of reviews, both professional and customer, of this speaker on Internet, so I won't rehash them. The primary differences: (1) the addition of a subwoofer connection, with associated circuitry to provide an electronic crossover* when a sub is connected, and (2) addition of a signal-processing feature to create a wider stereo image, and modification of the remote control to add a switch for that feature. I cannot categorically state that the "R1280ts" version sounds identical to the earlier version. The dimensions, driver complement, and design appear to be the same. Specifications also seem to be the same. All indications are that it’s the same acoustically as other “1280” models. Most of the reviews you'll see will conclude with some version of "for the money..." And that's the right way to look at these speakers. They are not the finest powered bookshelf speakers in the land. Not the loudest. Not the bassiest. Not the most extended highs, not the most neutral-sounding. But -- for the money -- they offer more than you might expect. They sound good if you don't turn them up too loud, if you sit reasonably close and don't try to fill the room with sound. They make great computer speakers that will let you hear music without giving up too much bass, or listen to podcasts or news with clarity. **My critique of the sound is that they have a very slightly boxy quality, a lack of the transparency that, to be fair, is usually the hallmark of much more expensive speakers. But at the same time aren't boomy, muffled, harsh, or any of the other flaws that plague most inexpensive speakers. For the money, I believe they offer great bang-for-the-buck. I plan to add a small powered subwoofer soon. If that changes anything about how these speakers sound beyond the obvious, I'll amend this review. *I did add a sub - a Monoprice SSW-8, a "slim" sub with the conventional connections and controls for a home theater sub. I connected the Edifier sub out to the sub's line inputs (requiring a 3.5mm-to-RCA adapter cable; you could use the one that comes with the speakers if you didn't use it already). This setup works well. Extending the bass another octave or more definitely enriches the sound without changing the character of the speakers. It's by no means a necessary or transformative upgrade, but it's worthwhile. *(cont'd) The Edifier sub-out is basically a headphone jack. It is full-range; there is no "crossover." It is affected by all of the controls -- bass, treble, volume -- and, surprisingly, also by the "spacializer." I don't recommend using the spacializer when using a subwoofer. (Using this jack for headphones does not, of course, cut off the speaker sound. There is also something slightly "off" about the full-range sound coming from this port; it seems to lack full separation, and seems somewhat shrill. But it works for the subwoofer just fine.) Because the Edifers lack any way to control the sub out, you will need a sub with volume and crossover-frequency controls, and you probably want to place the sub where those controls remain accessible. I'm using a crossover frequency of about 100Hz, and of course set the volume by ear. Certainly the addition of the sub output at no increase in price is a worthwhile upgrade. It does what it needs to do, and no more. It would have been good to include a low-pass filter, but it's not generally needed. **These speakers seem to benefit very much from extended break-in. After about 50 hours use, the "boxy" quality referred to in the main text has largely disappeared, leaving the sound more natural than it once was. The high end is still just adequate, but overall the sound is acceptably neutral and uncolored, especially for a speaker in this price range. It wouldn't be 5 stars compared to the best bookshelf speakers available, but it doesn't deserve a demerit when compared to its direct competitors.
Review: Surprising performance for the price - I bought these to improve speech clarity with my LG C2 TV. The TV has rear facing speakers, depending on reflection off the wall. I tried a sound bar, but the TV's speakers were better (go figure!). These went on sale, so I decided to try them. Mission accomplished! Even at their normal price they're a bargain. They have no trouble filling a 400 sq ft room with sound. They're not audiophile quality, but they definitely improve sound well enough to deserve this review, And, as a bonus, the bass will surprise you. They have quite a punch considering they only use 4 inch bass drivers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome speakers for vinyl records
*by R***S on January 19, 2026*

I decided to upgrade from an Audio Technica Bluetooth speaker to proper bookshelf speakers for my Audio Technica turntable, and these looked like a budget friendly entry level option. I'm happy to report they sound AMAZING! The warmth of the vinyl sound really comes through in these speakers, even in my relatively small apartment set up. I've tested albums across the genre spectrum and all of them sound worlds better, with textures and space in between the layers of compression. I'm a big music fan but I wouldn't describe myself as an audiophile, so perhaps there are people who would find things to nitpick. For me, they are perfect. These have elevated the living room listening experience so much, and I find myself wanting to throw on various records just to see how they will sound on the speakers. Super easy to set up; I didn't even look at the directions and got it right the first time within about 3 minutes. I like the way they look--the wood grain makes them fit the vintage vibes of a vinyl set up and puts me in a 70s state of mind even though I wasn't around for that particular decade. Records I've tested so far that sounded amazing: Mongo Santamaria - Watermelon Man Simon & Garfunkel - Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme Phil Collins - Groovy Kind of Love single Tortoise - Standards The Replacements - Can't Hardly Wait single Kanda Bongo Man - Kwassa Kwassa Bob Marley - Natty Dread Ozzy Osbourne - The Ozzman Cometh Arooj Aftab - Night Reign Suzanne Ciani - Seven Waves
