I have these hooked up to a tv in the den. Great for a tiny room. One thing I don't like is I can't see what volume level the speakers are at. It would be nice to have some sort of visual input indicator.

Good speakers but no volume indicator, annoying Bluetooth light, cheap remote, and no headphone output.

Fantastic price, hands down the best speakers you can buy at this price range. And realistically more than sufficient for non-audiophiles and impressive to all for the price/performance.

I would hook a subwoofer to it as I do to mines.
How did you add a subwoofer? I have these for a few years but don't see any option to plug in a subwoofer

I have a pair of these and they're great monitors for this price, but if you can spend a little more Presonus has a pair that has a little more range for just over $100.

You can't if you are using for Bluetooth. If you are using one of the inputs you can split the signal from the source.

are these like the old Edifier that had completely unsecured bluetooth that anyone could connect to without even confirmation?

Is the bass strong? Thinking about using these as my PC speakers and I don't want the neutral monitors type sound. Clear sound and heavy bass at lower volumes are what I am looking for.
Unfortunately no, you need a sub. very few bookshelf sized speakers have good bass extension. yummy

I am using line input from tv. Do i need a line splitter and one of the lines go-to subwoofer and would any generic subwoofer work?

It should, as long as it's a powered sub. Check out the 8" monoprice on sale now. It's not going to shake the house, but compliments these speakers well.

Could these be added to a Denon AVR S920W setup to be used as rear/surround speakers?

What price range are we talking here? 50-100 or $100-200$?

Get a $30 bluetooth amp and any pair of $20 bookshelf speakers from your nearest garage sale / thrift store / craigslist. Same quality for about half the price.

There is a "sub out" input in the back of the speaker to hook up a powered sub. I have a polk 8 in sub paired with this set for the garage. Sounds great!

edit! I have the 1280DBs, not 1280DB. s on the end for sub option

I paid $130 for mine late last year. The bluetooth was defective so it couldn't connect to any device. Customer Service sent me a replacement and that one worked and they didn't ask me to send the defective one back. Though the bluetooth don't work, the line-input still works, so it is basically the Edifier model R1280Ts.

I also bought the R1280Ts two years ago, so now I have 3 of these speakers and they all sound great.
So one for each wall! Perfect setup
