Love them

R1280 DBs, being impressed is an understatement!

Whilst I was disappointed by the bad experience when I tried to experience these speakers at the Edifier Warehouse and an unhelpful attutude I, never the less, ordered them through Takealot and installed them with my Yamaha YST-SW45 8 inch subwoofer. Setting up took a while but when it was done they were beyond expectations! I highly recomend for a small to medium room, especially with an 8 inch subwoofer.

Excellent product

These are probably some of the nicest speakers one can buy for their desktop, and they'll most likely be absolutely fine for home theater use as well, as long as your living room is not too big. To my ears they have a typical V sound signature, as in exaggerated lows and highs, with slightly recessed mids. They can get pretty darned loud and I thus never really stretch them to their limits. For such small speakers, with a 4" woofer, they have a surprisingly decent amount of bass, but if its not enough you can always add a subwoofer to the sub out. Highs are very clear to me, with slighlty lower mids, but take note I am using them in a near field configuration and thus your mileage might vary. Build quality is excellent, and even though the wood grain is clearly plastic, they still look pretty good. The included remote works perfectly, but it is a bit of a fingerprint magnet. I do not really use the bluetooth capability, but it did work without a hitch during a quick test.

Not a good review

I purchased a pair of these a couple of years ago - mainly because I was trying to get the audio from my TV (Samsung 65") away from the TV itself using Bluetooth instead of wiring.
The speakers worked out of the box, but the remote was DOA.
Did not worry about the remote because I could change the volume on the TV.
Turned out that my TV did not have a Bluetooth output - so the speakers were used as pc speakers until I bought a new TV.
Although everyone seems to be OK with these speakers - on Bluetooth they are very muffled and lacking in quality treble completely.
I have the bass control centered and the treble flat out.
By the way, as PC speakers (wired) they were also not good, but I presumed that the issue was the sound card of the PC.
So the lack of quality is not related to the source device.
Why you would want to use a bass bin on this - I cannot answer - the one thing these speakers are not short of, is bass.

Add T5s

Wonderful sound, add the T5s, really makes a difference!
Superb quality, more than enough for a television, if paired with T5s.
Decided on R1280DBs with T5 instead of soundbar.
