What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Edifier R1850DB
  • They looked good in the bedroom and the sound was excellent, especially considering the price and the size of the speaker (small).
  • Their size is amazing, the volumes they reach are incredible. The remote is good. The ergonomics are nice.
  • Compact and look great. Sound brilliant connected by bluetooth to my iPad and also on the auxiliary input to my Yamaha arranger keyboard.
  • The first thing that was evident when I unpacked these Bluetooth bookshelf speakers was the heavy weight of the speakers.
  • Materials and build quality isn't bad and I like their stealthy look, but it feels like it's heavy from it being MDF and not any sort of fancy and expensive components.
Edifier R1280DB Active Remote Control Bookshelf Speakers
  • They sound amazingly good for the price and their size.
  • The size of the speakers are fairly compact also. The remote control is fairly simple and sturdy with just a mute button and the volume control.
  • These are perfect. They look good too. They're a decent size, not too big and not too small, and they have settings for volume and bass.
  • I love these speakers! Brilliant sound, small size, very smart looking, great little remote.
  • Weight - very heavy for their size. Remote control - not really worth the point since volume can be adjusted even quicker on a computer.

What customers say about "Audio"
Edifier R1850DB
  • The sound is very good and very clear. You can't expect a better sound quality in such size.
  • I find the sound incredible, I really like the highs and mids.
  • Really nice crisp and clear sound. Bluetooth works easy enough and no problems setting them up.
  • Sound quality is great right out of the box. Highs and mids are clear.
  • The transition up the frequency range through mids and into highs is relatively smooth.
Edifier R1280DB Active Remote Control Bookshelf Speakers
  • The sound is lovely and tuneful. Good bass and midrange and has a nice treble to the sound without being harsh.
  • They present a good sound stage on demanding drum & bass tracks which have highly engineered layers and effects and the bass is tight and clear - they don't lose it with fast paced music.
  • They sound clear, the bass doesn't overpower the rest of the track and the sound feels full/vibrant.
  • The bass response is spot on, even with the trims set to neutral, and there is a good balance of high and mid-range.
  • Low frequencies were surprisingly good but the crossover to mids is poor and the small tweeters simply cannot produce the highs that I want.

What customers say about "Features"
Edifier R1850DB
  • Good quality materials and cabinet. Multiple inputs and tone controls make this a solid bookshelf speaker.
  • Good speakers system, straight forward connection to TV, record deck and play station, bluetooth through my phone excellent.
  • The buttons on the remote feel a little on the cheap side but the speakers themselves seem well made and have solid feeling knob functionality.
  • Nice cord lengths, and all the cords I needed were included. Bluetooth connects quickly and easily and stays connected all the way back to the master bedroom which is about 60 feet.
  • The remote is quite bad and slow. But it can be replaced if you have IR on your phone.
Edifier R1280DB Active Remote Control Bookshelf Speakers
  • Bluetooth connection very good and instant. The connection options are a good addition too for different setups and needs.
  • The Bluetooth is a great feature allowing us to use them to play music and videos from our phones as well.
  • They come with a comprehensive set of connector leads, including fibre optic, which permits connection to a headphone socket as well as the usual standard speaker connections.
  • BT connected really quick and a stable connection was maintained, optical worked as expected.
  • The remote is crap, just one of those cheap button battery things.
