Edifier R1280DB Speakers: 5 Things You Should Know! 

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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?

With these speakers it's advised to turn the treble all the way up for more clarity and a more balanced audio profile, else they sound a bit muddy.

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

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?

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?

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

Stereo pair HomePod mini or this??

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

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

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

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!

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!

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

Are they any good with vinyl please. Thank you

Whats the intro Music name bro?

Do you think this is good enough for laptops?

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

😍

Only a minute in, but is that FF7 Album playing in the back 👀 👁

is it good for gaming ?

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.

Is the battery needed. What for

How is the bass of the speaker?

OH SHOOT At 3 minutes 😂 Hearing my voice is..... bad. Unsettling

Wtf, there are 0 BT 5.3 bookshelf speakers on the market...

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

Bass👎

Edified are total crap, stay well clear folks
