Bluetooth speakers for <$100 that look nice. These have an optical input so can be used with modern TVs and work great for that purpose - that's why I'm getting these.

      It has as much as you'd expect from speakers of this form factor, but will not compete at all with a sub. It sounds "full" for normal speakers, not lacking.

      But if you expect to "feel" bass, you'll need a sub.

    can be used with modern TVs

    That is true but without a centre channel the experience will be louder but not any clearer.

    • Wolfenstein98k on 09/01/2025 - 16:57

      Not quite, it will be a bit clearer because you have a fuller sound spectrum (imagine the difference between two 12" speakers versus one 1" speaker, when you're sitting several metres away). That the speakers can provide power to higher and lower frequences does tend to allow more separation and ability to pick out individual elements.

      But a centre channel is better if the content has been produced with "dialogue in centre channel" in mind. I don't know how much of it has, though.

    • Jengel on 09/01/2025 - 21:22

      I find that two bookshelf speakers instead of TV speakers are great for clarity at very low volumes, and in medium volumes still hold their own. At high volumes for movies, tv shows and games, the positioning of both speakers and listener is absolutely critical to not lose clarity.

  • FujinShu on 09/01/2025 - 16:57

    Is there a raw frequency chart on these speakers?
    I’d like to know how to get a neutral-ish sound with EQ.

    • Wolfenstein98k on 09/01/2025 - 17:02

      Just use your ears. The default settings (12 o'clock for both treble and bass) are intended to be neutral in a standard environment.

      Set them up, sit where you're going to sit, close your eyes, and try a few different media/song types. Then go back and fiddle.

      At the end, go back to 12 o'clock and try again. Most people find that they go crazy trying to custom tune, and end up satisfied with 12 o'clock. They're designed with that in mind.

  • Malemanjam on 09/01/2025 - 17:14

    How come the standard speakers never go on sale anymore, its always the bluetooth/active ones.

    https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07NT6YN1L?ref_=ppx_hzod_title_…

    I bought these for 60 bucks back in '21, they've gone waaaaay up in price.

    edit: looking at their lineup I'm not even sure they make non powered speakers anymore. Wth.

    Thanks OP! Being hearing about these for years and just had a baby so have been looking for some high quality brown noise speakers heh.

    Came to $85 delivered after the $5 signup discount, which seems pretty reasonable.

    I haven’t tested these but I want you all to know that I have the most superior ear.

    • Usernames on 09/01/2025 - 17:48

      Just one of them? Is the ear right on top of your head? That would certainly be the most superior.

      May I have a go of the ear when you are done please

  • Laced on 09/01/2025 - 17:51

    I'm having trouble picking between the 1380DB and the MR4s. Any recommendations? (Happy for separate sets for each use case)

    Use case 1: General gaming and working from home (desktop PC)
    Use case 2: TV for watching movies/shows
    Use case 3: Editing videos (Premiere Pro) on PC

    From my research, I THINK the MR4s will be bad for TVs because they're supposed to be for "near field listening/monitoring".

    Currently running z623 from however many years ago for like $99 lol…

    • frondono on 09/01/2025 - 21:23

      You won't get close to the z623 for that sort of money.

      • Laced on 09/01/2025 - 22:28

        oh are you saying that the z623 is better than the 1380DB and MR4? I see people dunk on Logitech all the time

  • LuckyDealer on 09/01/2025 - 18:10

    any thoughts on comparing it with below? Creative Pebble Plus 2.1

    Great speakers. You are not finding a better set of 42w Bluetooth active bookshelf speakers for this price. You would spend $300 plus to get an noticable improved sound stage and maybe nicer looking apeakers. Maybe something in Edifier range sub $300 but any other brand $300 plus.

  • Bonemusher on 09/01/2025 - 19:32

    Holy 13.95 delivery free, ended up paying $100 for them ;-;

    • airtime on 09/01/2025 - 21:39

      Yeah, their Back To School sale says free shipping when goods over $79, with T&Cs. But I can't find the T&Cs anywhere. Also being asked $13.95 for shipping. Perhaps based on weight or size of box.

    • Naigrabzo on 10/01/2025 - 09:22

      They are quite heavy and bulky. $13 is cheap.

    Ive had the R1280db for 5 years and are great for a small to medium room with line in or Bluetooth. I agree with the majority who say you need to remember they are around $100 !! you cannot beat that sound and bass for the price imo. Also have the D12. Awesome for the price. Great company for budget non audiophile sound but I still consider myself a huge music and multimedia lover so still think they offer very decent sound but I'm not willing to spend thousands for better.
    Also bought the creative pebble Bluetooth ones and thought they sound sh!t compared to these. I find the bass on these fine and solid/v decent

  • tobi3421 on 09/01/2025 - 23:41

    Not getting free shipping in Brisbane, asking for $16.95 :(

  • Cyan9 on 10/01/2025 - 09:14

    I bought the R1280BDs’s recently and initially was disappointed with the sound. It seemed very flat and lacking midrange. After a few days though they broke in nicely and I’m happy with them.

    TLDR: run the Edifiers for a couple of days to break them in before assessing how good they sound.

    • Naigrabzo on 10/01/2025 - 09:22

      Interesting! Nice tiip.

  • bargainboy88 on 10/01/2025 - 11:18

    I can personally vouch for Edifier bookshelf speakers. Not this model, a higher model, but they're simple awesome. Use them for my computer and they sound better than my TV home entertainment setup.

  • airtime on 10/01/2025 - 18:39

    Picked a pair up today instead of forking out for the shipping.

    These are essentially identical to the Edifier R1700BT model. Slightly different casing, slightly different mid-bass driver, slightly different Bluetooth module. Those differences aren't significant. The biggest difference is the amplifier which is a little bit more powerful in the R1700BT.

    For nearly half the price, these are a bargain.

  • Alopex on 10/01/2025 - 19:18

    Sweet deal. Thanks for sharing. Got a pair.

  • Bubble Tea on 10/01/2025 - 22:01

    Brown sold out, black avail still

  • Kazar on 10/01/2025 - 22:59

    How do they compare to Edifier R1280Ts?

      Similar, these have a larger tweeter. Maybe slightly better but you wouldn't notice the difference unless side-by-side
