Review: Perfect for Vinyl – Great Sound and Build Quality - I bought these speakers to connect to my vinyl player and I’m really impressed. The sound quality is clear, rich, and well-balanced, making my records sound amazing. The Bluetooth connection is also super handy when I just want to stream music from my phone. They look sleek and stylish, and the build feels solid. For the price, I think they offer excellent value. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for good bookshelf speakers that work great with vinyl!
Review: Very Good speakers for Money - I spent hours checking and looking for some mid range speakers, I really wanted Blue Tooth and hard wired (RCA) as I was concerned that the Bluetooth quality could be poor - No such thing they connected to my LP120XBTUSB Turntable in seconds from the other side of the room 1st time. The sound quality was just as good as the many youtube videos promised, I cranked it up and still no distortion, i upped the bass and treble still really good no distortion, I de-powered everything and then re-powered and it all reconnected perfectly without any searching or prompting .The remote control yes its unbelivably small but works well, just put it somewhere safe when you finish otherwise you will be porobably ripping your sofa apart. overall experience really good speakers and i doubt you would get better if you paid double the price. The BT17000 Edifer do give slightly better sound mid range but do not look so nice, check out You tube a guy does a good sound test between the two then its up to you to decide but me i am really happy I chose these little beauties.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How are these speakers powered?  Do they each need to be plugged into a 110v outlet?**
A: One of the speakers needs to be plugged into an outlet. That speaker is powered and has a built-in amplifier to drive the speakers. No need for a receiver or amplifier. Just plug directly into your source.

**Q: How do these compare to the r1280t? Are they the same, just with extra bluetooth connection, or is the sound quality different?**
A: I've been trying to get a straight answer about this from Edifier for a week, to no avail. The response here from Edifier Online Store clearly says "they are the same" except for the connectivity options, but when I added my own question asking about the sound quality, Edifier only said "they're different speakers" -- then deleted their own answer after I politely replied that they'd said otherwise here and asked them to clarify. They also ignored my support ticket on their website asking about this topic.

Either the specs are wrong or Edifier doesn't know their product very well, and it seems they won't give a straight answer about it. It would be a better business move to just own up to the mistake and correct it. It's difficult to trust a company with your hard-earned money when they behave this way.

**Q: So if I connect with Bluetooth, audio will come from both speakers?**
A: Bluetooth audio does indeed play on both speakers.

**Q: How many Bluetooth devices will it keep memory of?**
A: Speakers don’t hold memory of devices. Devices remember the Bluetooth they’re connecting to. This question is backwards and not how Bluetooth works.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For the price these sound outstanding
*by M***T on 28 May 2020*

I've had many speakers and headphones in my time across the entire price spectrum (without getting into ridiculous territory) just within the needs of someone buying appropriately sized speakers for my room (which is often small). The majority of speakers, particularly active ones, I've had for my PC/Desktop speakers have sounded fine at this price point but never ever sound open and rarely provide a coherent soundstage. They'll sound good but boxy (for example the Bose Companions and Creative 40s) they'll sound fine and more than adequate for a compact solution for a PC set up but they'll always sound boxed in. These do the unthinkable for speakers in this price range and that's sound completely open and not at all confined to the speaker. The highs are crisp, though like a little bit of refinement you'd find in premium speakers, the bass is accurate and controlled at most listening levels (though doesn start to distort once you crank them up) and the mids seem accurate and detailed (though not as revealing as higher end speakers). The soundstage is pretty great and the cabinets are built of sturdy MDF which means the cabinets don't resonate uncontrollably allowing a decent amount of clarity between instruments whilst listening to music. The one part I'd say could do with at least some improvement is the vocals, they don't quite deliver with the power and punch I'd like and quieter singers can get lost in moderate volumes especially. But for the price I honeslty don't think you can buy a better pair of active speakers, hell I'd be happy with these if they cost £200 but at £120 they're a complete steal For reference I have the speakers set up on 2 speaker stands behind my desk and not near any walls approx. 1 meter away from my ears at tweeter ear level. Though I have tested them for performance in filling a room and I can confirm this pair of speakers will fill most bedrooms and medium sized living rooms easily without the need to push the speakers into volumes that cause distortion.
