R1280DBs

I'm really pleased with these speakers. They arrived new, well packaged and in mint condition. Connecting to my new Fluance RT81+ turntable was very easy. The speakers provide a good, clear, rich and well balanced sound. The bass and treble can be adjusted slightly via the control panel on the side of the active speaker; however, I have found the default settings to work well for me. They have handled playing at loud volumes without any distortion. The remote control is a very useful for the volume, and turning the speakers on and off. It also features buttons for Bluetooth, line 1&2, opt/coax, and sound stage widening (which is very effective if it's required or preferred). The price of these speakers is very reasonable. I bought them when they were on offer so I made a nice saving. If you can't wait for an offer, even at full price they are worth it. Very glad I purchased them as the upgrade along with my Fluance RT81+ turntable has definitely improved the sound quality of my vinyl collection immensely Final verdict:They look stylish, modern and compact and are easy to install and use. 10/10

Really pleased with these - I have them set-up in our kitchen on top of the fridge connected via optical to an Apple Airport Express and wired to an Amazon Echo Dot. They have replaced an Amazon Echo Plus that I never got on with, the sound quality although loud, was really harsh. They were well packed and come with a decent length cable for between the two speakers, an RCA cable, an optical and a headphone socket to RCA cable. The small remote is also included, along with a battery. The speakers are a good weight, feel well made and I really like the wood finish. We leave them powered on all the time which means that they work well with Alexa and the sound quality from the Alexa dot is good. Streaming iTunes from the Airport with Apple’s higher quality stream the sound quality is really very good, excellent for the price in my opinion. Good stereo separation and sound field and really good dynamic width with decent low level bass without being boomy. I don’t have a subwoofer connected, but to be honest I don’t feel the need for one. Given that the speakers are sitting on top of a huge steel fridge freezer that may well be helping with the solid sound, either way sounds pretty good to me. In terms of volume, our kitchen is medium size, and they are more than loud enough and have not experienced any distortion at the levels we’re listening too. Some reviews have mentioned background hiss, but so far in my experience there is no detectable background hiss, noise or other interference. The remote is small and lightweight but does the job, it’s a bit confusing that the remote has buttons labelled ‘on’ & ‘off’ where these are in fact not power buttons, but instead are for turning on a truly terrible ‘sound field extension mode’; this just surrounds horrendous, is totally unnecessary and my advice is ignore it and never go there! Bluetooth seems to work well, only used it to test pair to my phone which was fine. I like the fact that the power supply is integrated (so no annoying brick), it would be nice if the power lead could be disconnected, but a minor gripe really. Overall, an excellent pair of ‘bookshelf’ speakers, really good sound for the size, well constructed and very flexible in terms of input source options. For what we’re using them for I don’t think I could have found anything better for even a substantially higher price, very pleased and would recommend them.

I'm really pleased with these, they look and sound great. I bought them to upgrade a single box bluetooth speaker in our large kitchen/family room (400 sq ft). It had served us very well for many years but had become our main "stereo" and it had both poor bass and treble response. Having researched broadly, these seemed the perfect replacement: A stereo pair, adequate amplification, small enough to get my wife's approval, additional inputs if required in future (e.g. chromecast audio and sub). They have a very crisp and clear sound and bass is good for their size and price (they are not floorstanders). They are definitely loud enough - to get high volime on bluetooth you obviously need to set the speaker volume to max and then control final volume on your source device. Note that compared to the R1280DB model, these don't just add a subwoofer socket: They have a nicer remote, better technical spec and bluetooth 5.0.

Arrived Saturday10th promptly. Initially though, only the secondary speaker worked, as both green & a red light were showing on the main speaker. Once the hand controller button (Line1/2) was pressed, I assume that factory pre-set mode kicked in and established itself properly. These speakers are reasonably good value for money, whilst supported admirably, by their UK distributer! Only fault being: The quick-start guide is rather ambiguous. Therefore, the product depends on a customer that tries out all control settings/adjustment, to establish full functionality at the outset! Worth the money! Sounds good! Finally, product recommended.

Ich habe die Boxen jetzt seit einem Monat im täglichen gebrauch. Habe sie an mein desktop-setup angeschlossen und lasse jeden Tag Musik, podcasts und Höhrbücher laufen. Alles klingt glasklar und zu keinem Zeitpunkt über- oder untersteuert. Habe zwischendurch auch mal mein Smartphone über Bluetooth gekoppelt, super Funktion btw! Alles easy und schnell. Auch das umschalten klappt wieder zackig. Für diesen Preis kriegt man wirklich eine astreine Anlage! Würde ich jederzeit wieder kaufen

Ottimo prodotto, esattamente quello che mi aspettavo come rapporto qualità prezzo, estremamente ben rifinite e con un suono ben definito e sufficientemente potente per riempire una stanza di 60mq.
