Las compré para completar con una barra Bose que tenía conectada con el subwoofer T5 Edifier pero para mi gusto sentía que le faltaban unas laterales para mejorar el sonido envolvente por lo que me decidí en comprar estas bocinas. De inicio me costó un poco integrar todo, incluso pensé en regresarlas, pero las escuché por si solas, me gustaron mucho y lo pensé un poco más, como yo las quería integradas junto con mi barra, insistí en la configuración y una vez hecho, dije: me las quedo!, se escuchan súper bien ya sea junto con la barra o sin ella. En lo personal para música me gustan sin la barra y para películas con la barra, aunque por si solas para muchos no sentirían necesaria la barra, pero eso es cuestión de gustos. Traen todos los cables necesarios, buenos agudos y bajos, con excelentes variantes de conectividad. La mejor relación calidad-precio dentro de su gama. Físicamente son muy estéticas, buen tamaño y la caja acústica se ve fuerte. Las uso en una recámara de 3x3 a medio volumen con los controles de agudos y graves en cero, no necesito mas. Las considero como una muy buena compra. Intenté grabar un audio como prueba de sonido pero sinceramente no tengo un buen micrófono que constate realmente el sonido, la grabadora de mi celular no le hace mella a estas bocinas. Review: Initially, I thought the speakers were a bit overpriced, but now I feel they are worth it. The bluetooth connection is seemless, and the sound quality is great. Can easily fill a room of around 150-200 sq feet without maxing out the volume. The finish and weight are also good. The remote control has a good range and can be used for all necessary functions. ## Features - BLUETOOTH 5.0 - Pair the speaker with your smartphone, tablet, Mac, or laptop to play music wirelessly, no need to deal with messy wires. - SUB OUT AND OPT/COAX INPUTS - Subwoofer output with built-in auto crossover detection. Optical and coaxial inputs to ensure a lossless connection to TVs and computers. - DISTORTION-FREE SOUND - Fill your room with beautiful sound with its 42W continuous undistorted power, 13mm silk dome tweeter unit, and 4-inch sub-woofer unit. Enhance your listening experience with Soundfield Spatializer. - UPDATED REMOTE CONTROL - Wireless remote for easy control of volume, mute/unmute, switch to OPT/COAX mode, line-in, and Bluetooth modes. Bass, treble, and volume control located on the side panel. - SIDE PANEL CONTROLS - Use the side panel knobs to adjust the EQ to your liking. The controls are located on the active/powered speaker. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08869TSQ4 | | Item model number | R1280DBS | | Manufacturer | Edifier | | Product Dimensions | 43.1 x 32 x 18.3 cm; 4.9 kg | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Edifier - **Connectivity technology:** Bluetooth, Coaxial, Optical, RCA - **Frequency response:** 20 KHz - **Mounting type:** Shelf Mount/Tabletop Mount - **Speaker maximum output power:** 42 Watts ## Images ![Edifier R1280DBs Active Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers - Optical Input - 2.0 Wireless Studio Monitor Speaker - 42W RMS with Subwoofer Line Out - Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71yir9yyAfL.jpg) ![Edifier R1280DBs Active Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers - Optical Input - 2.0 Wireless Studio Monitor Speaker - 42W RMS with Subwoofer Line Out - Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614COS5gLvL.jpg) ![Edifier R1280DBs Active Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers - Optical Input - 2.0 Wireless Studio Monitor Speaker - 42W RMS with Subwoofer Line Out - Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61X0VQB+VEL.jpg) ![Edifier R1280DBs Active Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers - Optical Input - 2.0 Wireless Studio Monitor Speaker - 42W RMS with Subwoofer Line Out - Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712dt10i9nL.jpg) ![Edifier R1280DBs Active Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers - Optical Input - 2.0 Wireless Studio Monitor Speaker - 42W RMS with Subwoofer Line Out - Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71T7nypCIaL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by G***S on 7 February 2026* Muy buenas bocinas.

The bluetooth connection is seemless, and the sound quality is great. Can easily fill a room of around 150-200 sq feet without maxing out the volume. The finish and weight are also good. The remote control has a good range and can be used for all necessary functions. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***M on 19 November 2025* What an amazing choice. Patience was the key. I got these for under $150 Canadian, just $10 more than the R1280DB that comes without subwoofer option. For me, it was a no-brainer. The option to get a subwoofer was too good to pass up, especially at that price point. The black version was my choice; modern and sleek, they work well with my home office setup. Regardless, if you can't wait or have a bigger budget, these speakers are great. The sound is warm, rich and clear. In my home office, they are perfect. I am using these as a computer / entertainment speaker for now, but I wanted to 'future proof' these speakers. I hope to get into some video / music editing as a hobby later. For this, it's the perfect choice as I hope it can take on that additional role in the future. I'm just not ready for a studio speaker or anything remotely professional. It would be overkill for me. The build is solid, the set up is clear and the packing box is well constructed. The contents survived a bit of damage on the side, but it was well protected inside. The way a box's contents are packed tells me that the company cares about their products. You get plenty of cables and cords - from optical, coaxial and Dual RCA inputs. Bluetooth is 5.0 and if you want no cords, this is a great feature. The remote is handy as well. Batteries included! So, if you cannot tell, I could not be happier with this purchase. If you choose this Edifier model, I cannot see how you can be disappointed. A true marvel of technology. ## Frequently Bought Together - Edifier R1280DBs Active Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers - Optical Input - 2.0 Wireless Studio Monitor Speaker - 42W RMS with Subwoofer Line Out - Black - Edifier T5 Powered Subwoofer - 70w RMS Active Woofer with 8 inch Driver and Low Pass Filter - SS5 Studio Monitor Isolation Pads, High-Density Acoustic Foam Tilted Tabletop & Desktop Speaker Stands for Midsize Bookshelf Computer Speakers, Prevent Vibrations & Fits most Speaker, Black - Pair --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/725393618-edifier-r1280dbs-active-bluetooth-bookshelf-speakers-optical-input-2-0](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/725393618-edifier-r1280dbs-active-bluetooth-bookshelf-speakers-optical-input-2-0) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
