Will they work well as TV/home theater speakers?
While these Edifier speakers are primarily designed for use with computers, they can still serve as TV or home theater speakers. However, their performance and features may be optimized for computer use, so they may not provide the same level of audio quality and functionality as dedicated TV or home theater speakers. If you plan to use them for this purpose, it's essential to assess whether they meet your specific audio and connectivity requirements.
I asked Chat GPT for speaker recommendations to pair with my turntable, Edifier was one of the choices. Very pleased with the result. Super easy to set up and they sound great!!!!
Today my speakers arrived and that was perfect. It's too hot to go outdoors, better to stay in and check out how my favorite songs sound through the new speakers. Add my voice to the so many others singing praises about these speakers. Like so many people I listen to a very wide variety of genres of music. Sadly I only have them running with a laptop, it'd be great to hook these splendid speakers up to an old school receiver, tuner/equalizer and turn table or even a decent CD player. Regardless I like them. Enough said.
While I don't have my setup finalized, I did set up my speakers and try them out. They look great and sound even better. I am completely satisfied with them and can't wait to get my listening space finalized!
I bought these Edifier speakers after asking ChatGPT for the best speakers that would be compatible with an old Audio-Technica record player I rediscovered while unpacking after our move. I also wanted something that would look good in our fireplace room built-in bookshelves and fit the vintage vibe without being huge or overly modern looking.
ChatGPT recommended the Edifier R1280T and it absolutely nailed it. Setup was super simple, the speakers look fantastic in the room, and the sound quality is way better than I expected for the price. Warm, clean sound that pairs perfectly with vinyl.
We spent the night bringing the old turntable back to life and once we got everything working, these speakers sounded awesome. Great value, great aesthetics, and exactly what we were looking for.
Wonderful sound, easy to set up, look amazing, and have a great feel! I couldn't reccomend them more! Definetly look into if you're looking for some speakers.
I bought these speakers for my teenage son to use with his computer, and he LOVES them. I heard them as well, and they sound great. The speakers are easy to set up as well. A great value for the money.
I have bought these speakers for my computer and I genuinely love them. Sound quality is amazing, aesthetic is simple but yet still gorgeous to look at. I am not an audiophile but I am picky when it comes to speakers and these do not disappoint at all.
I would highly recommend these to anyone.
Speakers are nice. Bigger than I expected and do pack a punch as far as sound goes.
Not sure if I did something wrong, but there is a slight crackle noise from time to time when playing a majority of my records.
As far as I know, I set up everything exactly the way the manuals showed.
I got these by a mistake off a site where I was told they were taken out of the box but never used but they were listed as the R1280Ts model which has the sub out port. I have 2 subwoofers and thought it would be nice to be able to use one but these don't have a way to hook up a sub. They offered me to keep them for the mistake and refunded my money. I am on disability so the price worked well for me I had a pair of B*** Companion II computer speakers. I got them thinking they would be like other Bose speakers but I just wasn't pleased with them. These blow them out of the water. The sound is awesome from them. I am blown away I find myself listening and enjoying music finally from my PC. I am going to connect them to my TV also in my family room where my computer is. I can't give enough praise to these I never expected such great sound from such a small speaker.
I've had these speakers for a few years now, and I've been very happy with them. They're well-built and use quality parts, so they're great for a desktop or TV in your basement. I'm actually planning on buying another set for my computers upstairs! Highly recommend.
I got these speakers a few hours ago and have been trying out different kinds of music to see if they live up to the reviews. I can say for sure that they're great for listening to music casually in a medium-sized room. I love them because they're exactly what I was looking for.
I got these to pair with my Audio Technica LP60x record player and its a match made in heaven. The sound stage is amazing, clearity is spot on. I find myself finding time just to run something through the speakers just to enjoy them.
I tried them with music, video games, movies and they're good but for movies and some games they may need a sub. Overall decent speakers for the price, that I would recommend to others.
