Bluetooth speakers and smart speakers are quite popular these days, as they offer decent sound quality while also being portable. If you like them, JBL has its Xtreme 3 for just $200, and Bose has the Portable Smart model for as low as $230. They are certainly ripe for pickup.
If however you want better audio on your desktop PC and do not care about portability, then a monitor like bookshelf speaker can be a very good option. Recently Klipsch was selling its R-41M for a very attractive price of just $147. It was a limited time-offer so the deal did not last.
So if you missed out on that, you are getting a second chance to get a good deal, this time from Edifier as the firm"s R1280DB model is up for grabs at the lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below).
Similar to the Klipsch, this is made for near-field listening, so expect good soundstage and stereo imaging within upto about 1-2 meters from the speakers. Edifier claims the 1280DB can go down to 55 Hz though it is very likely at -3dB or -6dB compared to peaks. Still, this level of mid-bass should suffice for most people unless you want sub-bass.
This Edifier 1280DB is also a bit of a more compact package, as it is an active speaker, which means you don"t need to worry about any external amplification. The technical specifications of the Edifier R1280DB are given in the table below:
