Edifier 2.0 R1280DBS Hi-Fi Wireless speaker Black 2 pcs

Active Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers with Studio-Grade Sound

The Edifier 2.0 R1280DBS black delivers distortion-free, room-filling sound from a compact wooden enclosure that integrates seamlessly into home setups. Listeners benefit from 42W RMS output and a built-in Soundfield Spatializer, transforming workspaces, media centers, and turntable rigs into immersive listening zones. Seeking studio-monitor clarity without the complexity of separate components? This model stands out as a smart solution.

What sets the R1280DBS black apart

Its 2-way active crossover sends frequencies precisely to the 4-inch mid/bass driver and 13mm silk dome tweeter, ensuring crisp separation of vocals and instruments. Pairing is quick with Qualcomm Bluetooth 5.0, while the front-facing bass reflex port gives extra low-end presence. Instead of navigating on-screen menus, users control EQ and volume with a wireless remote or tactile side-panel knobs.

Driver configuration and amplification

Built-in amplification drives each channel independently, delivering 21W RMS per side for consistent clarity even at higher volumes. There is no need for an external amplifier—just connect and listen.

• Total Output Power (RMS): 42 W (21 W + 21 W) — distortion-free amplification for medium rooms
• Bass Driver: 4" (116 mm) mid/bass cone per channel — handles vocals and lower frequencies with authority
• Enjoy crisp highs without harshness thanks to the 13mm silk dome tweeter on each channel.

Wireless and wired inputs

Bluetooth 5.0 enables stable wireless streaming from most devices, while physical connections like optical, coaxial, and dual RCA support everything from TVs to vintage turntables. For bass lovers, the Sub Out port with auto crossover detection allows seamless subwoofer integration.

• Bluetooth: 5.0 with Qualcomm chipset — stable wireless streaming up to 10 m
• Wired Inputs: Optical, Coaxial, Dual RCA (Line In 1 + Line In 2) — connect two devices simultaneously
• The Sub Out with auto crossover opens up quick plug-and-play expansion to a 2.1 configuration.

Cabinet design and frequency response

Engineered from MDF, the enclosure reduces unwanted resonance, and the front-facing port enhances bass extension. A signal-to-noise ratio of ≥85 dB(A) keeps playback clean between tracks, while frequency response stretches from 65 Hz to 20 kHz to cover the full range of human hearing.

• Frequency Response: 65 Hz – 20 kHz — full-range coverage from bass to airy highs
• Signal-to-Noise Ratio: ≥85 dB(A) — clean output with minimal hiss
• Its MDF cabinet and bass reflex design work together to minimize coloration and keep your audio pure.

Who should buy these bookshelf speakers

This configuration is well suited for home listeners, desktop audio enthusiasts, and casual vinyl collectors seeking a versatile, all-in-one solution for music, movies, and gaming. Turntable users benefit from dedicated RCA inputs; TV owners can use the optical input straight from their display. Upgrading from basic computer speakers brings a clear improvement in vocal detail and bass impact.
