Review on Edifier R1280T Active Bookshelf Speakers - 2.0 Stereo Near Field Monitors - Wooden Enclosure - 42 Watts RMS - Ideal for Studio Monitoring by Ayden Loh ᠌

In general, the speakers are not bad, the design is not so good, the usability is normal, you don’t need to constantly climb behind the column to set something up. In general, there are no problems with reliability. Been running for over a year so far so good. Now about the most important thing. The overall sound quality is not very high. Even considering their price. The manufacturer positions these acoustics as studio acoustics, albeit conditionally, taking into account their level, but still with an application for sound advancement, at least in terms of linearity. But then the whole dog is buried. They don't sound linear. Their tonalka is obscenely crooked. There is a clear blockage at the top, and bulging of the lower register. Or rather, the middle bass is very forced, and despite the fact that the lower one is naturally overwhelmed, as a result, everything sounds unclear and boomy, there is not enough transparency, I want to make it louder. But with an increase in volume, although there is clarity in the sound, but at the same time, the bulging mid-bass also begins to hammer harder and further disturb the balance in the sound. And worst of all, it's not amenable to tone controls. The most acceptable option was achieved by completely lowering the bass and turning the highs to the maximum. But even in this case, the ill-fated mid-bass manages to climb out and spoil the whole listening experience. And so, in general, these speakers sound quite clean for their price segment. But the manufacturer obviously did something with their frequency, apparently he wanted to give pop in sound in order to somehow please almost everyone. As a result, oddly enough, it spoiled the acoustics, which could have sounded much better than what it is. In short, for those who like a smooth, balanced sound, I categorically do not recommend this model.
