Review: Sound Packs A Punch!!!! More Than The Price Suggests!!! - I decided to go Back2Black after a 25+ years seperation, I picked up a Dual 506 (1981) Turntable in mint condition and needed some active speakers, reading a few reviews and watching a few YT videos I went for these speakers, hooking them up via a pre-amp, so for £120 what do you get, well firstly they are really well made and look great i have removed the grills, the sound? i was quite suprised at how good it was, tweaking the bass and trebble nobs to suit the music and they pack a little punch you could feel the air pumping out the air vent, at full volume they hold out very well indeed, not overpowering, perfect volume for a terraced house living room, and not to loud for the neighbours lol, I have started collecting vinyl again and wow it really is the best way for music to be played, pumping out U2 Joshua Tree Live @ Madison Square Garden, Depeche Mode Live @ The Rose Bowl, really did turn back the years for me to my Vinyl collecting teenager days, then with these speakers there is the added bonus of hooking up all your devices via the bluetooth, there is an optical port, 2 x line inputs, coaxil port, the remote works great, so if you are looking for real value for money, and better than price sound from a well made speaker then look no further than a pair of these they wont dissapoint
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!

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sound value
*by K***L on 26 November 2022*

Mr Edifier's little bookshelf active speakers are just brilliant. Bought them for use in kitchen - a 7m long room - and they will fill the space if asked. Quality improves the closer you get as you would expect from a bookshelf device. The sound quality is surprisingly good. Particularly so for human singing voice which, for me, is a paramount indicator of what a speaker can do. They are nearly as good as my Quad AS9 set in lounge. Given that the Edifiers cost £120 ("cheap" white ones) and the Quads were £600, this is just unbelievable value. They will handle just about every kind of music, from simple voice, through rock bands to full orchestra. The bass can be a bit heavy at times but is easily adjusted on the bass/treble dials. My stuff goes through digital equalisers on my PC and phone and they handle that well too. Useful set of input ports for just about every combination of line and digital. Only thing missing here is a USB input port which I would use when needing quality a bit better than Bluetooth. That said, the Bluetooth itself delivers pretty good sound quality. I have a CD player connected through the optical port and it works marvellously. Okay, they lack a lot of the digital stuff you get from "dedicated" Bluetooth speakers like Sonos and the like. But I don't want to be able to talk to them, I don't want them to play in other rooms or choose what they think I should listen to. Wouldn't mind if they could make me a coffee but we don't seem to have come that far yet! So, if you want really good quality sound for a budget price, buy the Edifiers. Great quality for absurdly low price.
