Pros & Cons
Pros
The bass and treble knobs are helpful. Crystal gayle or jones vocals sound beautiful as does camilla cabello.
The drums and guitar of zztop is clear and beautifully musical. The digital input really helps with sound quality; it's obviously better than the rca feed. Bluetooth also sounds excellent with super long range, i have it hardwired for when i watch tv/... Read More
I found no blemishes, or bad workmanship, they are perfect. If you want a nice set of speakers that envelopes you in perfectly balanced and controllable sound, these are for you.
The remote is a bit basic and small, but it has all the functionality you need. The controller is a nice touch too. The input selector button/volume dial on the speaker is useful.
I have these hooked up to a cd player, a tape deck, and a audio technica at lp120 with a nagaoka mp110 cartridge. I love the ability that these speakers have to connect through bluetooth to a phone.

Make sure that there are no devices emitting radio waves such as a desktop computer tower, a refrigerator, a microwave or a wi-fi router. The remote is just okay.
Highlights
Quality
Easy to set up (hint - the powered speaker is the right channel) and the included speaker wire give a little over 6 feet of separation.
Nice treble, mid, base controls, plenty of outputs for tv and sub.
I paired and connected a tablet to the speakers and the connection has been nailed up for about a week with no disconnects.
No mark on the speaker's volume knob.
Price
They are a great price for a good speaker on a turntable.
This is an amazing set of speakers for the price.
These speakers are fine for what they are - inexpensive non-audiophile uses only.
I picked these up on prime day for $110 however would certainly pay standard price of $150 and am currently scoping out larger ... Read More
Competitiveness
It is possible this is related to the older version of bluetooth in the older model.
There are two versions of this speaker, both have the exact same model number, the edifier r1280db.
Before i installed the new ones, i did a quick comparison of them using the exact same music and with the new ones sitting righ... Read More
