Our take on the Edifier R1280DBs Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers

The Edifier R1280DBs is a powered bookshelf speaker pair with 21W per channel, a 4-inch woofer and a 13mm silk dome tweeter. It stands out for its input range: Bluetooth 5.0, optical, coaxial and line-in, plus a subwoofer output with automatic detection and a built-in crossover. That makes it a flexible hub for a TV, turntable or desktop setup, where rivals at this level often offer only Bluetooth and analog. Owners of the R1280 line generally praise the warm, full sound for the size and the simple setup; the main complaints are modest bass without a sub and a remote that feels basic.

What reviewers say

Owners of the R1280 series describe a warm, detailed sound that beats most speakers at this size and praise the wide input selection. Common complaints are light bass on its own and a plain remote.

What people mention
  • Sound qualityPraisedOwners say the speakers sound warm and detailed, with clear vocals and more presence than their size suggests.
  • BassMixedReviewers find bass adequate for music but thin for movies unless a subwoofer is connected.
  • InputsPraisedThe optical, coaxial, line-in and Bluetooth options are called out as unusually complete for the class.
  • RemoteCriticisedThe remote is described as basic and plasticky, though it covers volume, mute and input switching.
  • SetupPraisedOwners report quick, fuss-free setup with clear labeling on the side panel.

Questions and answers

Do I need a separate amplifier?
No. The R1280DBs is self-powered, with 21W per channel built in. You connect a source directly.
Can I add a subwoofer?
Yes. There is a subwoofer output with automatic detection and a built-in crossover, so a powered sub plugs straight in.
How do I connect it to a TV?
Use the optical or coaxial input. There is no HDMI ARC, so the TV's optical output is the usual route.
Does it support aptX or LDAC?
It uses Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless playback. Edifier does not list high-bitrate codecs such as aptX HD or LDAC for this model.
Is it good for a desktop setup?
Yes. The compact cabinets and nearfield-friendly sound suit desks, and the side knobs make quick volume and EQ changes easy.
What is in the box?
The pair includes the powered and passive speakers, a remote control, and the cables needed for the listed inputs.
