Review: Great sounding, stylish looking, reasonably priced. - I'm really pleased with these speakers. They arrived new, well packaged and in mint condition. Connecting to my new Fluance RT81+ turntable was very easy. The speakers provide a good, clear, rich and well balanced sound. The bass and treble can be adjusted slightly via the control panel on the side of the active speaker; however, I have found the default settings to work well for me. They have handled playing at loud volumes without any distortion. The remote control is a very useful for the volume, and turning the speakers on and off. It also features buttons for Bluetooth, line 1&2, opt/coax, and sound stage widening (which is very effective if it's required or preferred). The price of these speakers is very reasonable. I bought them when they were on offer so I made a nice saving. If you can't wait for an offer, even at full price they are worth it. Very glad I purchased them as the upgrade along with my Fluance RT81+ turntable has definitely improved the sound quality of my vinyl collection immensely Final verdict:They look stylish, modern and compact and are easy to install and use. 10/10
Review: Impressive sound, connectivity and build quality for a reasonable price - Really pleased with these - I have them set-up in our kitchen on top of the fridge connected via optical to an Apple Airport Express and wired to an desertcart Echo Dot. They have replaced an desertcart Echo Plus that I never got on with, the sound quality although loud, was really harsh. They were well packed and come with a decent length cable for between the two speakers, an RCA cable, an optical and a headphone socket to RCA cable. The small remote is also included, along with a battery. The speakers are a good weight, feel well made and I really like the wood finish. We leave them powered on all the time which means that they work well with Alexa and the sound quality from the Alexa dot is good. Streaming iTunes from the Airport with Apple’s higher quality stream the sound quality is really very good, excellent for the price in my opinion. Good stereo separation and sound field and really good dynamic width with decent low level bass without being boomy. I don’t have a subwoofer connected, but to be honest I don’t feel the need for one. Given that the speakers are sitting on top of a huge steel fridge freezer that may well be helping with the solid sound, either way sounds pretty good to me. In terms of volume, our kitchen is medium size, and they are more than loud enough and have not experienced any distortion at the levels we’re listening too. Some reviews have mentioned background hiss, but so far in my experience there is no detectable background hiss, noise or other interference. The remote is small and lightweight but does the job, it’s a bit confusing that the remote has buttons labelled ‘on’ & ‘off’ where these are in fact not power buttons, but instead are for turning on a truly terrible ‘sound field extension mode’; this just surrounds horrendous, is totally unnecessary and my advice is ignore it and never go there! Bluetooth seems to work well, only used it to test pair to my phone which was fine. I like the fact that the power supply is integrated (so no annoying brick), it would be nice if the power lead could be disconnected, but a minor gripe really. Overall, an excellent pair of ‘bookshelf’ speakers, really good sound for the size, well constructed and very flexible in terms of input source options. For what we’re using them for I don’t think I could have found anything better for even a substantially higher price, very pleased and would recommend them.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these compatible with Dolby digital 5.1?**
A: There’s an optical input so the speakers can receive a 5.1 signal but this is a stereo system with only 2 speakers so only 2 channels of any 5.1 signal would be audible. There is a “sub-out” port where you can connect a sub-bass speaker, so if you did this you’d hear a total of 3 channels of the 5.1 signal. If your source signal is 5.1 then you ideally need a 5.1 speaker system, not stereo + sub (2.1).

**Q: How do you connect a 3rd speaker?**
A: If by 3rd Speaker, you mean a Subwoofer, then yes there is SUB OUT connection on the rear of the RHS speaker. If you search, Edifier do have just the thing.

**Q: Can you listen to two devices at the same time ie. Xbox through optical and pc through aux**
A: You can only have one input play at one time but you can have multiple things connected at the same time just change input so you can have one device connected on optical then another on aux but can only play one at a time

**Q: Can I use these without Bluetooth**
A: Hi yes you can just plug in using the 2 x RCA to 2 x RCA lead or 2 x RCA lead to 3.5mm jack lead which comes with them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect upgrade from single box bluetooth speaker
*by T***. on 18 January 2023*

I'm really pleased with these, they look and sound great. I bought them to upgrade a single box bluetooth speaker in our large kitchen/family room (400 sq ft). It had served us very well for many years but had become our main "stereo" and it had both poor bass and treble response. Having researched broadly, these seemed the perfect replacement: A stereo pair, adequate amplification, small enough to get my wife's approval, additional inputs if required in future (e.g. chromecast audio and sub). They have a very crisp and clear sound and bass is good for their size and price (they are not floorstanders). They are definitely loud enough - to get high volime on bluetooth you obviously need to set the speaker volume to max and then control final volume on your source device. Note that compared to the R1280DB model, these don't just add a subwoofer socket: They have a nicer remote, better technical spec and bluetooth 5.0.
