What owners report

  • “I have the Audio Technica LP60x with Edifier R1280T speakers and it’s a GREAT setup! It’s a bit pricier than basic players but it sounds incredible and I believe you can upgrade the needle etc. [...] Speakers are also Bluetooth so I use them even when not spinning 😊”

  • “I bought the Bluetooth version of these speakers for $129 and they sound better than my Panasonic HiFi because it's faulty in not sounding as good as it used too. Sound good for cheap speakers.”

  • “[...] You're probably one of the few people who tell the truth about these speakers. I own the 1280DB version, wich includes a DAC (optical, coaxial and bluetooth inputs) and is even worse sounding, except for the Apt-X codec. However, 1280S make more than decent computer speakers. [...]”

  • “I own these and completely redesigned them specifically for a kitchen entertainment system. I have a 45 degree wall in my kitchen which left two triangle shaped voids when the builder used standard upper cabinets. [...] The speakers are somewhat suspended firing down on a granite countertop and about 5 feet apart. I cut off the top third of the passive speaker to make a box for the amp/ controls/connections. For the money (I paid $70 USD in 2019), you absolutely cannot beat them. I have the sound for the tv running through them as well as a Chromecast Audio. Spotify through the Chromecast Audio is superb. [...] My friends are quite impressed with the sound!!”
