Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

I love the quality and volume of audio these speakers produce. I have a couple qualms about them and it's pretty much exclusive to the bluetooth functionality.

The edifier r1280db has a variety of different cables, so that it can accommodate almost any hook up. It has bluetooth and should easily connect to a phone or tablet. Most of my playback is handled by the wonderful free vlc program. When i disconnecte... Read More

They aren't ms10s but they sound quite remarkable. They produce a sound with great clarity and a decent low end. They have a good amount of weight to them so they don't rattle, rubber feet fit well on desk.

Cons

Speakers sound very muddy, almost nonexistent highs, dialogue in scenes nearing unintelligible. Bluetooth keeps cutting out intermittently. Musical sound is mushy.

The amplifier rolls off way too soon, causing poor bass response between 45-100hz (-9db) that the woofers could easily drive with a little boost. No, it is not the fault of the 4 woofer, but of subpar amplifier electronics.

Quality

Good sounding speakers good quality and heavier than i thought loud if u want but retains clarity

These are lovely speakers great sound quality and perfect for desk speakers

Made it 3 weeks of very limited use and one of the speakers started distorting pretty bad on the bass end

The buttons also have to be pressed each time and can’t be held to increase or decrease the volume

Price

I purchased these on sale and they have been great for the price point

This is an excellent value considering its price

I was able to purchase these speakers at 99

It’s a great speaker for a reasonably good price

Shipping

I ordered them and got them the next morning

Packaging/appearance

The packaging was very nice and the delivery was good

They were well packaged and had everything i needed for proper install and use including a fiber optic cable rca jack wires rem... Read More

Purchased as usedacceptable to save some money but they showed up in original box fully wrapped with no issues

If there was some mid range included in the package id argue its superfluous

Competitiveness

The audio quality was also surprising considering the low price compared to other similar products

They sound good up even against my 400 yamaha hm5s and even against my more 34highend34 custom desktop 534 monitors

As i said in my headline i took a chance on a brand i had never heard of and it paid off

Even some of the most popular long running name brand stereos seemed to disappoint people who purchased them
