Our take on the Bookshelf Speakers for Home Audio and Desktop Listening with Bluetooth and Digital Inputs, R1280DB

The Edifier R1280DB is a powered 2.0 bookshelf speaker pair with Bluetooth plus RCA, optical and coaxial inputs, so it works with a phone, TV, turntable preamp or desktop setup. The two speakers are joined by a speaker cable; Bluetooth only frees the source, not the link between cabinets. It is a common first step up from TV or laptop speakers and a popular budget pick against studio monitors and soundbars, though owners note it is a nearfield speaker with modest bass and no HDMI or subwoofer output.

About the Bookshelf Speakers for Home Audio and Desktop Listening with Bluetooth and Digital Inputs, R1280DB

The R1280DB is a pair of bookshelf speakers for home audio and desktop listening. It connects to a compatible audio source over Bluetooth or through wired connections.

Wired options are RCA, optical and coaxial, so the speakers can work with a range of audio equipment. Choose the connection that matches the audio output on your source device.

The two speakers connect to each other with a speaker cable. Bluetooth is used only for the source connection, so the speakers are not completely wireless. A redesigned remote control is included for controlling your listening setup.
