More about the Edifier R1280T
The R1280T set from Edifier are packed with some pretty premium design features given their price-tag which gives a bit of an advantage over similarly priced bookshelf sized speakers. They are a heartily constructed powered speaker set, the active speaker has a layout of combination of drivers, connections and controls. The enclosure features a bass reflex port which has been calculated accurately by the folks at Edifier, to provide optimal bass, completely free of distortion.
A closer look at the Edifier R1700BT
If the wattage of the first edifier Bluetooth pair we looked seemed a little low for your needs then this set is the next step up in their series. They feature all the top-notch design aspects of the other set but handle a combine peak RMS of 66 Watts instead of 42.

| WHAT OUR TEAM THOUGHT | |
Wood composition is always better for bass in a speaker cabinets, this pair have versatile connections and allow for simultaneous use so they are a good set if you fancy keeping a turntable hooked up. |
They are easy to use, you can set and reset Bluetooth pairing, and even without the Bluetooth capabilities they are a fantastic pair of speakers in terms of quality audio. |
