Edifier R1280DB Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers - Wireless Studio Monitors with Optical Input - 42W RMS Power - 4 Inch Near Field Speaker - Wood Grain Finish (Black) - Perfect for Home Audio, Gaming & Music Production

I've been looking for a good pair of speakers to listen to music to, or maybe occasionally attach to my PC to be used as computer speakers when playing a really fun and immersive video game. I primarily just wanted something that sounded far more balanced than my JBL Charge 4 Bluetooth speaker. I also have a multi-media player that has terrible speakers, so I wanted to have something hooked up to that as well, in case I want to listen to old albums or cassettes. So far, I've been extremely impressed. Before I dive any further into this, please note that I am NOT an audiophile, and I understand full well that true audiophiles will probably have a lot of disagreements with my take on these speakers. I'm just a guy who wants decent, well-balanced sound that isn't as bass-heavy as a JBL Bluetooth speaker is.PROSBluetooth connectivity. I keep a ton of music on my phone, so being able to connect wirelessly to my speakers is important to me. I have a Pixel 6 phone, and it connects to Bluetooth without any issues. It also doesn't drop signal at all (at least not yet) and still maintains great sound quality for Bluetooth. I can also connect them to my PC via Bluetooth as well, but that actually doesn't seem to hold as well, but I attribute that to my PC needing a new Bluetooth adapter, since as stated before, the speakers stay connected just fine to my phone.The optical and RCA audio cables offer more input options as well. I have my multi-media player plugged in via RCA cable, and if I ever want to use these as computer speakers, I can hook them up to my PC via the optical cable. I can even hook these up to my TV if I so choose with the optical cable, so there is a lot of versatility to these speakers. Another thing to note, these come with an optical cable, a decent length of speaker wire, and a set of RCA stereo cables. I was expecting to have to go and purchase these as most higher-end speakers don't come with these cables, but these speakers do.The functionality is easier than expected. There are three dials on the side of the powered speaker: bass, treble, and volume. The volume button also acts as the power button and function button. So far, I've used mine in Bluetooth and RCA input, but have been highly satisfactory. The RCA a bit less so, but I suspect that's more to do with my multi-media player than the speakers themselves.The sound quality is extremely pleasing. I took them for an initial test spin with some Billy Joel and Warren Zevon to get a feel for how these sound with classic rock. The sound was incredibly well rounded, crisp, and well-defined. I then took them for a bit of a stress test by cranking them up with some Knocked Loose and old Bleeding Through albums, and was still incredibly impressed. The bass was responsive but not overpowering at all, and I could hear every instrument as well defined as if I was wearing studio monitors, but with far more depth. As stated before, I am not an audiophile by any stretch of the imagination, but I still can recognize better sounding speakers, and these are definitely better sounding. I've had PreSonos speakers that cost a good deal more than these before, and I am far more impressed with these speakers that I was with the PreSonos.Overall, I am incredibly impressed with these speakers. I find the Bluetooth connectivity to be solid, the functions easy to use, and the sound quality superior to most of the speakers in this class, and certainly an incredible value, as many speakers with this level of quality can easily exceed $350. I would recommend these to anyone who's looking to add great sound to their office, family room, game room, or wherever you need a great set of speakers. I would certainly order these again without hesitation.
