8:47 Beautiful Camera Work, Excellent video ! :-)

You are hands down the most paid representative of this poor product.

@@bradli3460 So, you don't like them, big deal. You're standards are irrelevant, considering, they're only $120. WTF is an audiophile doing, with any studio speakers, under ~$300/pair, anyway? Go blow smoke, somewhere else.👍

Yeah, this does seem a lot like paid telemarketing. Hmmm

@@Cyba_IT Yup, a commercial.

And if you act now we will throw in not one, not two, but 3 ninja destroyer tanto blades AND a bush whacker bowie knife!

Its like them live casino channels where they talk all night lol joking

Lol

Thanks so much. Glad you appreciated (and hopefully benefited) from our effort. Please sub :) Cheers!

Sounds like some massive sound out of little speakers. :-)

The latest iteration of these speakers in 2020 is the R1280DB-S, which comes with better Bluetooth & a 3.5mm sub out port that automatically triggers a digital crossover for a separate dedicated subwoofer. Previously you had to pony up for the more expensive R1850DB for these features. Not anymore.

@@kkhalifah1019 I only find edifier r1280db (so without the “s”) is that normal? Thanks

Aww, thanks so much Tony! I'm glad you had fun along with us! Enjoy the speakers.

Thanks! Can't wait to "hear" an update how you live them. Mine are now connected to my turntable as well. Beautiful!

How is the bass?

@@LukaM It’s excellent! For $99, these are stellar.

Thanks! Hope you love 'em as much as we do! Let us know how it goes!

Samuel Sawian thanks :)

Enjoy! We'd love to hear how you like them. Thanks for watching!

Oh, that's cool! Thanks so much Diego! I'm glad you enjoyed the "experience" ☺️

9:54 The Edifier is the best sounding Hair Dryer ever ! :-D

Aww thanks so much!

Aww, thanks!!!

@@LinuxTechShow I browsed through your channel. While it's good your uploads are an hour long and I bet I will enjoy them to bits, please upload some shorts, based on topic coverage. They will help bring in more viewers and improve visibility as well. Subscribed. 🙏

Enjoy your new speakers! We're still loving them.

They are actually great, far better than I expected. The bass is great, high tones good as well. They're crazy good for this price imo. Also no weird weird sounds or tones coming out of boxes when they're off. Lots of cheaper speaker sets got those issues. So it's great these didn't have such issues. I'm really happy I chose these. My plan was to send them back if I didn't like the performance but they're actually great.

good deal on the 1700BT they usually run for around 149usd.

@@zenon351 They are still going strong. They were a good budget choice for my RU-vid channel production. My audio on the channel has improved too ... I'd recommend these to anyone wanting to use them for YT video.

Thanks for the note. Glad you're enjoying them!

Perfect!!! Enjoy!

How do you like them?

I just bought a turntable and I'm looking to buy these. How do you like them?

LouG2006 me too 👌🏻

Can plug the aux into your phone ?

@@TnoFashionHouse yep works 100%, anything with a 3.5mm socket can work with these and they sound brilliant

Is is good? How was your experience with them?

@@leonorpais3548 Love um Great lil speakers, makes watching movies 10×'s Better..I also got the wood stands.. Great set up now I just need a subwoofer...I like I'm because I can easily connect my phone and listen to music 🎵🎶.. But yeah only thing is if you like deep hard bass you will need the subwoofers, not sure how the more expensive ones sound but I'm guessing it's not a big difference

That's very kind, thank you Aaron. I hope you subscribed, and I hope you enjoy the content we bring out each week.

A quick google search would show you that they can't be mounted on walls. I bought mine for 71 euros some months ago. The moment you touch them with your hand you can feel it's great quality product. Unless you are one of those people that jerk off to sound and aren't happy with anything unless they pay thousands for audio then it's not for you. But if you are just a dude that wants clean sound with great quality than these are great. I was so happy with them I even considered buying another pair but I already have a lot of speakers in the house... And if you don't require everything shaking like it's earthquake then these have more than enough bass as well. For such price these are probably best speakers around that even pop in a lot of TOP lists.

You need the R1850DB because it has sub pre-out. You can hook it up with an active subwoofer if you need more thump. But for me these speakers already sounded fuller.

what should I set the bass and treble positions in R1280t? Is there any combination that works for all the genres?

@@SandeepNagarkoti Setting the bass at the middle is the great setting for all genre and a slight boost on the treble (3 o'clock) setting because R1280 on stock setting or in middle setting lacks treble.

You can add a subwoofer?!?

there is no track..its end of video

www.audioblocks.com/stock-audio/modern-hip-hop-chart-tune-145387.html

they have (basically) the same speakers but passive listed on Amazon: www.amazon.com/Edifier-Passive-Bookshelf-Speakers-Built/dp/B07DM7F15C/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=edifier+passive&qid=1583524177&sr=8-2

Our recommendation: Set both to 11. :P Truly though, just find the sweet spot each time. The sweet spot will change based on how loud you're listening and what you're listening to. Eg., if listening at low volume, you'll probably want to increase the bass to fill it out. Louder volume means adjusting the highs and lows to again find the sweet spot for listening. The controls are easily accessible.

"Lose" ffs !

Yup.

Yes, I think you would be getting nice two channels sans separate woofer channel.

I'd say if you had these plus a good pair of headphones for mixing your low end, you could do quite well. I really enjoy the responsiveness of these speakers, and as "good but affordable" options go, I think you'd be happy with them.

Can u use the cord for your phone too ?

@@TnoFashionHouse for the phone I use bt, never tried cable

They are powered so you don't need a receiver but you will need a preamp for your turntable. I have mine hooked into a U-Turn Orbit with built-in preamp and it's a very economical and space saving combination.

apparently you may not

@@outsidethepyramid 😂💀

None. Even at full volume.

Well, no doubt your receiver has a built-in amp. So no need to get speakers with a built-in amp, having to go out through the headphone jack. If I'm correct in this assumption, I'd suggest you look at these passive speakers instead - same speakers, but powered by your receiver instead of a built-in amp: amzn.to/2QJDdJ9 And here is a second model from Edifier that we really like: amzn.to/2ZOfFHb Let us know how it goes!

Thanks!!

Yes, they are stereo.

Yes. One speaker has the volume/treble/bass controls. So you'd just have to have that pointed up on that speaker. But yes, they will work just fine on their side.

@@LinuxTechShow Wicked. thanks for the info :)

Because the ones we reviewed are powered speakers, they're not the right thing for you. I'd look at the Edifier P12's instead since you already have an amp. They'll have similar sound quality, but are even less money and are wall mountable to boot! amzn.to/2C1x048

No. Completely silent even with the volume up (assuming your source isn't introducing noise, of course).

Thanks for watching. We hope you love them! Well, we know you will, TBH :)

Awesome!

I'm from China. I loved Hi-Fi since I was a kid following my dad's lead. Edifier is not a Hi-Fi brand, but they have been focused on these speakers with AMP built in since the 90s. It's true they are a leader in the Chinese market.

Tried the Audioengine A1 and personally I think the sound quality doesn't match its reputation. I'm not sure how long I'm going to stay in the US. Otherwise I definitely will by a pair of Ediffer's speakers. I miss China for that you can buy great electronic products from local brands for very very reasonable price.

they dominate non japanese market in southeast asia

Edifier is a Chinese based company. I don't support Dictatorships if I can help it TYVM.

@@RawLu. lol

For 30 bucks more they have a version with optical and Bluetooth connections too

Send a link plz

@@taricohenry2227 Google Edifier R1850DB. I own these. Are they Bang & Olufsen quality? no. But for the money, they are very good. I enjoyed them for a year as is before just a few days ago buying a powered subwoofer to add a bit more "feel it" down low bass. I think the sound quality between 1280 and 1850 is negligible, from other sound test videos I've seen. But if you might want to add a sub, go for the R1850DB model

@@jaxw2628 its the R1280DB that has an optical input and bluetooth w/c I have and sounded great.. Using it up to date and maybe until it will no longer work. :)
