Sound Quality

With the look of it, I have a high hopes of having a good quality sound hearing a relaxing music. Well, it didn’t failed me! Listening to it will really calm you as its sound is solid/crisp and absolutely fantastic.

You will surely enjoy listening to it while watching your favorite movies or calming yourself by the music of Jose Mari Chan's Christmas In Our Hearts while doing your chores or having your afternoon tea.

Its bass response has good depth and won't overpower the vocals and other instruments. It is smooth with warm signature. As a matter of fact, it even has one of the most natural sounding mids I've heard for its price. The treble/highs are okay, just fine, and non-fatiguing. As expected, soundstage is quite wide for the price.

Another thing which is surely an important matter to those music lover is the distortion of the sound.

With this Edifier R1280DB speaker, even if you will max out the volume, distortion is hardly noticeable.

By the way, it can go really loud.

Pros - Elegant design and built, crisp and solid sound, quality on minimal price, strong Bluetooth connection, a lot of connectivity options

Cons - A bit heavy, no handle for proper carrying of the speaker
