I wouldn't expect them to be amazing for £120..... The company I used to work for had several pairs of them as confidence speakers just so you knew there was audio present. Also it's very common for products like this that have spdif digital in, to only support pcm, hence most TVs have the ability to select pcm or "stream" out via their digital outputs ..nice video, thanks Stu :)

My TV soundbar has a button that can switch between a TV and movie EQ setting and music, which makes speech a bit clearer. I guess that's one advantage to speakers designed for TV, although the overall sound quality might be lower than those HiFi speakers. I do find the sound mixing on modern movies and some TV shows extremely annoying as it makes the speech almost inaudible or muddy a lot of the time, which isn't usually the fault of the speakers themselves.

Keep up a good job Stu!

Just bought myself a pair of S2000MKiii too, Edifier is amazing.

I think it really depends on your region because pricing can vary significantly. In Asia, these speakers costs under USD 100 after conversion into local currency which no doubt makes it the best value for money & it can even be cheaper during seasonal sales. I dont think you can find anything from creative or logitech to compete with this model from Edifier. I heard a lot of positive comments about Klipsch but Klipsch are niche product in Asia so they tend to costs more than in the US. Therefore, yea, these speakers arent at all overrated. You just need to be smart on where and when you purchase it. Reviewer should recommend a substitute product if he thinks there's something better at this price point.

@davidj.7779 3 жыл бұрын

I agree. I'm in Thailand. The audio quality of my bedroom 43" TV is terrible, like most flat screen TVs. I wanted decent sound not just for Netflix and KZfaq but for audio streaming as well. I tried several sound-bars in the under $200 range but they just didn't have good tonal range for music, especially base unless you invested in a sub-woofer, not practical for a small bedroom. When I heard about powered bookshelf speakers, I started researching on YT and Amazon. The Edifier 1280DB kept coming up. The only competition sold here n Thailand were the Kanto series: 4 & 2. I auditioned both the Kanto 2 (about $229) & 4s ($350) and they sounded good but light on bass, especially the "2". The Edifier R1280DB was $112 online so I bought them sight unseen. I've had them for close to a week now and I am very impressed with them. They are certainly several notches above any sound-bar I tried, the bass is clean and not boxy at all. Mid-range is very good with human voices on TV and treble is clean and distinct without being shrill. One pleasant surprise was no BT lag when watching movies; dialog was in perfect sync. Tone and volume controls work well. The only thing missing is balance control. Hard to go wrong with these speakers, whether for TV or computer, you get your money's worth.

I was very glad to hear you mention the "voice" aspect a little wanting as I noticed in your initial test a lack of midrange. I listen to music on my PC and midrange is extremely important for voice. I'm not so much into Hip Hop or other types of music that emphasize base (which to me explains the high ratings given that it's pretty popular) so for me, I need to hear to vocal. So kudos for convincing me that you're the guy to believe amongst the myriad of "reviewers".

You should try connecting your speakers via line in to the TV instead. This should give you a richer sound and clearer voice.

Thanks for your review, that really helped. I bought a Sony RT3 soundbar last year and I have been hating watching tv since, as the vocals sound absolutely muffled and horrible even when I set the 'dialogue enhancement' feature on. I am now looking for a set of speakers specifically for my TV and I couldn't care less about the bass, just want clear trebble sound, do you have any suggestion for such a use (in the same price range)? I have found that my PreSonus studio monitors sound much better than the soundbar, so I assume I am looking for something without much modification after the source (probably can use another set of studio monitors, but would welcome some more 'living-room' targeted suggestions!) Thanks!

I got a pair of the slightly updated dbs model for a friend to use with a budget turntable in a space where traditional amplifier and passive speakers was impractical. They sound very pleasing, and my friend is well chuffed with them, their versatility is great too, but one must be realistic about active speakers at that price point, they shouldn't be compared directly with proper HiFi speakers. That said, I may buy a pair for myself to use in the kitchen or bedroom, they're well suited for casual listening.

I bought this speaker around $90, connected to TV via optical and it's suprissed me a lot, i use Q Acoustics 3020 connected to Onkyo A9010 as a daily desktop speakers, and i find this sub $90 speakers have a bit similar characteristics, the agility of the base response is even more pronounce than QA3020, while the 3020 excels on sound separation, soundstage, and amazing vocal characteristics. If you want to get the best sound from it, use optical connection, the RCA cable supplied from the box is not that good, that's what caused these speakers sounds a bit muddy. As for the price, it's no brainer, i never imagined these cheap speaker able to catch up with bookshelf passive speakers that cost 2 times more expensive, or even 3 times if you dont have an amplifier.

Came across this video as I was looking at reviews for the Edifier T5 subwoofer to go with my 1280DBS speakers. Had them over a year so far and they have been great. No whining from the AC circuitry while they are on standby like I've experienced from my old Creative T40 Series II speakers. Bluetooth has never dropped a connection, and I got them initially simply due to the low price and the fact that there are separate Optical and Coaxial inputs, so I could plug my CD and MD decks in without needing digital splitters. Having a remote control is just icing on a reasonably delicious cake.

How can I connect these to a simple Yamaha subwoofer with just ON/OFF and one control knob with an RCA input? I tested these with my four channel Yamaha mixer that has simple included effects for my acoustic guitar and vocals and these speakers sound acceptable believe it or not. But I don`t want to damage anything trying to connect a woofer improperly. I played drums and sang from 1982 until 1999 in bands but a 1988 car accident and chronic pain that got worse forced me to switch to acoustic guitar to continue performing. I bought two Powerwerks PW50 PA speakers that do have a dedicated subwoofer port but these tiny speakers can actually be used for small indoor gigs, believe it or not, and sound very nice.

@quiltedquickerpicker 3 жыл бұрын

I think for the TV build that you made, you were better of with getting an exciter to use as speakers. Also the acoustics may have suffered from the speakers being boxed in because those are most likely designed as near field. Maybe putting them at an angle (a little downward or upward depending on how deep they are in) would fix that.

Mostly I'm playing rock-& as I'm starting from scratch, these Edifiers will suit... until I get more scratch!😅 I'll keep up with your recs. I'm in a LARGE loft which will require a lot more OOMPH if I want to walk around in here at all!🤷🏽‍♀️😸🙏🏽

Great speakers for the money. They sound even better playing vinyl vs a digital source. Good review!

Great, informative video. Thanks! I was ready to buy right up until the point you mentioned 'muddy vocals'. I dabble in video editing and want to upgrade the PC's bog standard Creative T10 speakers. I don't need bluetooth or optical connections; just good-quality, active speakers of about the size of these 1280DB units. And it would be great if the vocals weren't compromised. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I was getting ready to buy the Klipsch R-41PM for $300, but I ended up finding these for $60 brand new today. Needless to say, they won't be nearly as good as the Klipsch, but I'm just using them as computer speakers and they do the job surprisingly well

How do they sound in the new setup? Did the sound of the voice change for the better?

I just bought a pair of these for use on a Samsung Smart TV and they arrive in 2 days, so I've been binging reviews. Very well done although I wish you'd have used actual music instead of a cacophony of electronic synths. You mentioned that they're made of actual wood however, I also have a pair of S3000 Pros and the "wood" looks synthetic. Are you SURE they're real wood? By the way, you resemble a younger/slimmer Sebastian Cabot (maybe way before your time).

That bass was strong enough to make my Klipsch Promedia sub shake the wall.

Really good speakers, bought them last year, and been using them almost every day. I must say that these speakers are perhaps the best choice for the money., they deliver something magnificent. I remember before buying them, I was looking for reviews, and I found Stu here. Just in case someone stumbles upon on my comment, there's my opinion. I absolutely love these things!

R1700 are for pretty much the same price. Overall better sound with much more clarity. And if you can spend £200 I recommend r2730db. I own them for 2 years and they're amazing.

I got these speakers and I find then amazing. I use them for sound monitoring. All I need now is a standalone subwoofer, which can be used with these speakers as there is a sub out

I'm not a sound expert though as soon as you said muddy sound I imagined it may be true. but then you showed the way you installed them and you literally put them in the back of a tunnel. they need to be pushed out to the edge of your entertainment center for the soundwaves to come through to your ear and not be obstructed by tunnelvision

@StusReviewsUK 4 жыл бұрын

Yes I know- hence my monologue at the end. I did it because I want to stop the speakers getting wrecked by my dogs - so setting them back was the option I went for. In respect to muddy sound, that’s referencing to prior testing them apart 👌
