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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nothing special, there are positives and negatives.

The usability is average, and you do not constantly have to climb behind the column to set something up. In general, the speakers are not terrible, but the design is not particularly impressive. In a general sense, there are no issues about dependability. Been running for about a year now and everything is going well so far. Now let's talk about the most crucial aspect. The quality of the sound in its entirety is not particularly excellent. Despite taking into account the cost of them. The manufacturer positions these acoustics as studio acoustics, albeit conditionally, taking into account their level. Despite this, the acoustics still have an application for sound advancement, at least in terms of linearity. Nonetheless, the remainder of the dog is afterwards buried. They don't seem to follow a linear pattern. Their tonalka is skewed in an extremely obvious way. It is very obvious that there is a clog at the top, and the lower register has some bulging. Or, to put it another way, the middle bass is very forced, and despite the fact that the lower one is naturally overwhelmed, as a consequence, everything sounds unclear and boomy, there is not enough transparency, and I want to make it louder. I want to make it louder. Nonetheless, as the level is increased, the sound becomes clearer; however, at the same time, the booming mid-bass continues to hammer harder, which further disrupts the sound's natural equilibrium. And to make matters even worse, there are no tone adjustments available for it. By bringing up the highs to their highest setting and turning the bass all the way down, we were able to reach the most desirable result. But, even in this particular instance, the unfortunate mid-bass manages to push its way through and ruin the entire listening experience. So, considering their price range, the sound quality of these speakers is surprisingly high-end. However, it is clear that the manufacturer altered their frequency in some way. It would appear that he was going for a pop sound in the hopes that it will appeal to the greatest number of people. Because of this, interestingly enough, it was able to ruin the acoustics, which had the potential to sound significantly better than they currently do. In a nutshell, I cannot in good conscience recommend this model to anyone who values a sound that is both smooth and balanced.

Pros
  • Design-wise, it does not bother me, but it might be improved, at the very least by having colors that are more complementary to those of the body and grill. In my opinion, it would have a more pleasing appearance if the top and grill were black.
Cons
  • More sound, more sound, and yet more sound
