Edifier R1280DB Speakers: 5 Things You Should Know!

[@Megan-qq7yu]

Bought mine 2 weeks ago and it didn’t disappoint. The wired connection of course is always stable with no issues. Connected via bluetooth as well and never had any issues. The bass on this is pretty decent and I’m very much happy with it. Movie sessions are definitely much more enjoyable. Got this at around usd100 in Phils.

[@lflyr6287]

Team VRY : these Edifier R1280DB are completely the same to my Edifier 1010BT-s. The only difference is the bass port location and consequently the AMP controls. I have the exact same issue of sound breaking up. But this happens if you have your speaker volume set to around 10 % of loudness of lower. There the amp actually turns off and on continuously, hence sound breaking off. It's a consequence of a very cheap amp potentiometer design. As for the sound goes, these produce very very good and full sound for the price.

[@thaddiushelicon534]

Have not had any issues with sound from TV, BT or line in for the four years that I've been using these. However, suddenly the other evening they just died due to power failure within the unit. So I thought it might be worth trying to repair until I removed the rear panel and saw how the PSU module is installed. It's put together in such a way as to make it impossible to remove without a lot of hassle. The case is made of MDF and is glued which makes it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to separate without causing severe damage. I guess they want us to buy new rather than repair. So much for saving the planet.

[@nnexuz27]

mine also died due to power failure..

[@arhlenitchon8793]

I got mine for many yrs now i lost count.its still the same i bought it. Working fine

[@reimon5410]

Make sense why they would use good glue, breaking the seal on a speaker can alter its sound

[@alfredrodriguez4215]

Picked up a pair of these at the Goodwill yesterday for only $12. What a deal! These little 4 inch drivers push some good bass!

[@TeamVRY]

12 bucks is a crazy good deal.

[@WarPig8999]

When you use these do you have to use the wires to both speakers when using Bluetooth?

[@alfredrodriguez4215]

@@WarPig8999 yes, you have to connect a speaker wire from the right channel to the left...

[@bradh6185]

I'm just about sold on Edifier for my computer speakers, a huge selling point being easily accessible volume and tone controls. I will be mostly at the desk(in my living room), listening at somewhat low volumes, but also might like to use them for music while I'm doing stuff around the house. Not sure which ones would be best for my situation.

[@andoranian]

The chromecast stuttering is not from the speakers, is from Google. It happens to all my Bluetooth devices, but if you restart the chromecast it goes back to normal

[@Natatae_ako]

I have an Edifier R1280DBs and it also stutters, but I notice it does only when in youtube, but when I'm using other apps for examole netflix or other services, it does not stutter so I just assume that the problem was on youtube.

[@johnvanvliet2076]

I had a set of Edifier Speakers and I blew the transformer or something and they did not work anymore when using the controls. so I made speaker boxes larger and with the baffles insulation and ports at the front, installed the speaker and tweeter hooked them up as passive speakers with my TV and the speakers did sound much better in a larger redesigned speaker box and enjoyed the surround sound after completed 4 of the basic 3/4'' solid mahogany boxes, the end result, they worked great. The speaker box design I picked up from a Japanese expert on speaker boxes.

[@daveb8898]

If using a wired connection to tv, does changing the volume with the TV remote work with the speakers, or do you have to adjust their volume separately?

[@bonface123]

I had my samsung tv connected via optical cable, you can't change the volume within the TV, it has to be controled by the speakers

[@Violet-ui]

I just can't get behind cheap speakers. They sound good compared to TV or laptop speakers, but even good $20 IEMs sound so much better. I really dislike it when I switch from headphones with a good frequency response to affordable speakers with a frequency response that just sounds off. EQ helps but I am not good enough to actually fix the problem. In my opinion if you already have decent sounding heaphones and want to get speakers, don't bother with the cheap active speakers that you'll end up replacing soon anyway. Just accept that you need to spend like 300+ for something that will be satisfying to use and won't be distracting when switching from your headphones.

[@BeamCrasherNG]

Do they need to be connected with a cable for the bluetooth function?

[@DavidAVelez1]

Great review, Mike! Concise, easy to follow and good visuals to follow along with!

[@TeamVRY]

thanks David!

[@020matrix]

Connect your tv to the speakers with optical! Sounds much better ! and no stuttering

[@pasttraveller5767]

Should I buy soundbar with woofer or these bookshelf speakers to watch movies?

[@jevzcatadman9744]

thanks for this review mike! such a great help for thinking of buying it!

[@TeamVRY]

glad it helped! they do sound nice.

[@epicdata_3D]

What is the price in your country?

[@debbielosee5330]

I am buying the AT LP60XBT and was wondering if I should get the Edifier R1280DBs versus Edifier R1280DB? There’s a $10 difference and couldn’t decide which speakers would be best

[@anthonykiedis1765]

Pay the extra $10 for the R1280DBs. That "s" just means you have the ability to hook up an external subwoofer, which is worth the extra money.

[@charlezjenkinz9918]

I was literally looking at the same turntable and these speakers 💀

[@manupacanas2714]

I had that exact setup! Great easy combo. I also hooked up a headphone amp (FYI you need a separate headphone amp if you wanna listen to audiophile or wired headphones on your AT LP60XBT) to both TT and Edifier speakers. They sound great! I also have the edifier speakers on speaker stands I got on Amazon.

[@LUW1ZZ]

Are these powered speakers or would I need an amplifier for it, Id like to use them for my turntable

[@pikniktheatre8606]

My comparable Model R2000DB speakers Bluetooth function suddenly stopped pairing with my iPhone. I've followed the Edifier troubleshooting guide with no success. Any suggestions?

[@Eqium]

wow £100 their only $105AUD here in Australia which is about £50 we have an Edifier branch here in Australia where you can buy direct from them with free shipping on orders over $49, only just purchased a pair of R1700BTs for $169AUD direct from Edifier Australia with free delivery I ordered mine on Sunday night and received them Wednesday pretty good as Australia is a big place and their quite heavy, I was tossing up between the R1280Ts but decided to go with the R1700BT's, I'm now tossing up if ill buy the T5 sub woofer at $175AUD or £87, I've been using a creative sound bar for 6 years that cost me $60 they went past its use by date as I watch a lot of movies and music which I got a Good run out of them but its time I thought I'd spoil myself getting new speakers I totally recommend Edifier service is 2nd to none

[@DavidAVelez1]

I'm a noob when it comes to speaker systems 😂 But your voice is soothing and it is helping me keep up 😂

[@TeamVRY]

haha, appreciate that man.

[@adamcummings20]

I've lost my mac11 cable; is it possible to use just the right speaker in mono? I tried it once and no sound came out at all with optical output

The Google chromecast issue is an issue with Chromecast. I have the same issue with A2+ and a Bluetooth expensive Bluetooth receiver.

[@marcus0313]

Should I use wires or bluetooth to connect to my monitor? Because I’m using ps5 to connect to my monitor just for gaming

[@LauriDonnelly]

Can these speakers be used to bluetooth connect to Sony receiver?

[@A.K.76.A.K.]

Is it possible to find small tuner with cd for this model?

[@GOLFADDICT65]

great review.....I think I am gonna go with the Edifier s3000Pro's for my TV speakers.......hopefully they sound great....cheers from Canada

[@emanuelschuh]

can i use those in my laptop?

[@gabuz672]

Can I connect these to my turntable with the rca cables??

[@tomlangron2532]

I have done this with my Audio Technica LP120, and it works nicely for me. You will need a phono preamp though (the LP120 has one built in).

[@sherwizzlesherwizzle6620]

Are they any good with vinyl please. Thank you

[@michaelmisantrope2146]

I used them for vinyl and they are good.. just not as loud as I want them to be. But it still sounds great

[@GogoMama-w4t]

The Edifier R1280DBs is the best neutral sounding entry level audiophile speakers for Vinyl playback, they have pleasant high and a good bass and more importantly the mid's come through quite well , so a good all rounder for all genre of music as well. Plug in a T5 subwoofer and can take it to the next level :)

[@wcharad]

Stereo pair HomePod mini or this??

[@AC_Milan1899]

Does this have a humming/buzzing sound when you turn it on but nothing is playing?

[@TeamVRY]

Not in my experience.

[@Kuklapolitan]

While I understand the varied connections, these are BLUETOOTH speakers, are they not? I need a speaker system that can be used with my DELL XPS Desktop 8960 system with a Windows 11-Pro OS and cannot use a 3.5mm jack connection. Help me if you can....please!

[@Haymaker72]

Yes. With the remote you can go between line input and Bluetooth.

Edifers are so good i missed them when i went on vacation

[@toasterovens2384]

Team VRY - thanks for the good review. I have one question about the Bluetooth though. Is it constantly turned on? I am guessing it is since there is no button for activating it. Im asking because i have a sensitivity to long term exposure to this sort of thing. Thank you!

[@TeamVRY]

thanks for watching. Yes the bluetooth is always on, although you can turn it off via the included remote.

[@xiaomiredminote881]

Edifier R1280DB Speaker Volume resets after a power off-power on; the volume resets to i think 10% or 15% volume everytime I turn the speakers off and on using power switch and remote. Is that supposed to happen?

[@victortancheongwee]

yes, me too, i think it is design this manner.

Yes, it's advised to turn the treble all the way up for more clarity.

Can u connect with out no wires

[@TeamVRY]

yeah but there's latency, and depending on your bluetooth device the sound can sometimes get choppy.

I have a vinyl player that has built in speakers, if I hook these up do you know will it turn off the internal speakers on the vinyl player? The player has RCA output connections to hook up external speakers

Bro havent heard about soundbars and subwoofers for tv. It'll make your room sound like cinema. I cant imagine listening to film with this timy speakers

[@combatwighty]

Actually shelf speakers have better overall sound quality to tiny speakers inside of sound bars. Better dynamic range, and better stereo separation. get these and buy a sub and it’ll beat majority of sounds bars in $300 to 400$ range. I have experienced both you should try shelf speakers yourself and you’ll realize the difference right away 🤷‍♂️

[@ChilledAsFuck]

Bro talkn bout sound bars lmao

[@reimon5410]

Sound bars are literally the worse way to listen to audio lmao

[@Violet-ui]

soundbars are literally just a bunch of tiny speakers compared to the speakers in a soundbar, even these Edifier here are huge

[@mdnormatnor5226]

Bass👎

[@Tapioca549]

wdym?

[@Spleen_Wort]

These speakers are designed to get loud with little distortion. More bass = less volume(no distortion) OR more bass + loud = a lot of distortion. If you want these little things to sound perfect then the volume limit is probably going to be half what the limit is now. These cost 160 USA with the Bluetooth in them. 120 without. if you want: LOUD + PERFECT BASS + NO DISTORTION then I’d like to direct you to an amazing pair of $1,600 dollar floor standing Klipsch and a $500 dollar amp and some $100 wires. You’re welcome. Have a nice day sir. “People don’t know what they want or what’s good for them” - mayor of Chicago after defunding the police only to have the same people who asked for him to defund the police complain and whine about the skyrocketing crime. AND HERES A NICE BONUS FOR THOSE WHO READ ALL THAT: The price for these are the same as they were before Covid. Customers can sometimes be the biggest dunderheads of all time. Can’t see past the end of their own nose. Why? Cuz they let other people handle all the critical thinking for them.
