Similar to the last deal:
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/635002
but this time the black version is on sale.
EDIT: price has increased to around $65 so I'm marking as expired however there's appears to still be stock if you're willing to pay that price.
CamelCamelCamel.
Its wood, not plastic.
Nope, it's wood. It's not timber, probably MDF. But still wood.
Thanks this is really helpful. Just wondering are the speaker wire inputs at the back used?
The speaker terminals are for connecting the speaker with the amp in it, to the other speaker.
are they any good for TV/movie?
I bought it on the last deal, using with TV, sounds decent & pleasant sounding. Good for a standard living room.
How do these compare to R1280DBs?
Can't seem to find any comparisons out there.
I own both and they are great? Dunno what to tell you other than that :P I use R1280DB on my TV and the R1000T4 with my laptop via a USB dac…..
Is the R1280DBs worth the little extra? Are they the same in build size, quality? Do they sound the same?
Depends what you want it for…. I'd say if you want to run your TV with a set the R1280DB are the better choice. (They have a remote also, I use a harmony remote to mute them if I use my headphones instead)
How do you have them hooked to your TV? And do you notice any audio delay?
TOSLINK/Optical and no noticeable delay :)
I got a set of these on prime day, very happy with purchase
Same, use mine daily when WFH.
Actually, I got the Bluetooth version for like $52 on Prime day. I guess it's a good price if you don't need that. Honestly wish I'd bought 3 or 4 BT sets of Prime day though.
Anyone know if these would be an okay temporary rear speaker set for my home theatre?
The photo makes it look like it takes speaker cable? I guess these are powered though.
No good for your use case. The powered side terminals are an output to the passive second speaker.
Ahh thanks mate! Appreciate it! Immensely!
Would anyone recommend these over TV speakers?
Really any bookshelf speaker would be "better" in certain ways over TV speakers and even soundbars, as they are actually physically stereo. You won't get a lot of bass from these guys though, if you watch movies a lot, might be worth investing a little more into them.
No way TV speakers at same price level can beat this IMO but you can't hide this under TV
Depends on your TV, some have decent speakers already, and this upgrade mightn't be a big enough.
I'd spend a little more and get slightly better speakers.
These are excellent as computer speakers…and for the price…I got 'em at $100…
How do you plug them in to computer?
Via 3.5 headphone jack. Should come with an adapter.
Thanks
Thanks, got a set to use with my laptop and DJ controller.
These aren't bluetooth capable are they? Just trying to look at speakers replacement but minimising my cables
Not taking into account some lagging, dont you still need cables for charging anything bluetooth?
spend a bit more and get the R1855DB - has bluetooth 5
Very happy with mine that I picked up for a similar price. Sound was much much better than the Logitech's I had which cost more.
Can I connect these directly to my receiver and run them as regular non-powered speakers? I checked the manual and some online reviews but it's not clear.
If I connect this to my TV, is the sound going to be better than Yamaha 108B Soundbar that currently I'm using?
nah..
Nah save your pennies and get the S2000v3 or S3000 and they will blow your socks off!
Normal OZB price is like $550.
Reading the above, not sure if i can use these as tv speakers.
Should I use these as PC speakers (gaming, youtube) and move the PC speaker to TV? Really old Logitech Z4
I have a Yamaha soundbar YAS108B that is on the projector that I love
You can use them for whatever you like, but they are designed as near field computer speakers. Same as your Logitech Z4.
$55 now ?
Price algorithm says it's now $56.37
will this go into a Pioneer DDJ200 deck ?
has anyone used it ?
The DDJ200 does not have any outputs, other than the USB direct to your computer.
These speakers take RCA input, so that means you would need a way to output from your computer to RCA.
I think there are some $25 external soundcards that would do that, or you could fudge it with a 3.5mm to RCA cable (noting that headphones are not line out).
I'm not seeing whether the 3.5mm to RCA is included in the box.

This review says:
The Edifier R1000T4 comes with a a 3.5mm to dual RCA cable, RCA to RCA cable and also a speaker connecting cable. https://pokde.net/review/edifier-r1000t4-bookshelf-speakers-…
So I think you can probably connect to headphone out but just keep the volume lower so it doesn't clip the audio.
ohh so in that case this will work well for the DDJ400
note that some of the pictures on the listing are R1010BT not R1000T4
Showing as 59.42 when I add it to cart, what am I missing?
yeah showing $63.70 for me lol
Yeah I just refreshed and the price went up to $63.70 as well.
Amazon pricing algorithm in full force.
I didn't even know that was a thing.
Yes, when people start buying it the price increases
Cheapest Edifier with digital in?
How do these compare to Edifier R1280DB? Looking to buy either; for tv and general music listening in the living room.
The Edifier R1280DB has optical in and a remote which in my use has made a great pairing with my TV. It also has Bluetooth if you wish to stream music to it also….
They are the first company who put a fake tweeter on one of their bookshelf speakers LOL
