Hello, I think it would be justified to say I spend 90% of my time at home infront of the computer listening to music and watching netflix, I'm using this small tiny Salpido speaker that I got from my mum and been using it for I don't know, probably N years.

I'm looking to get a decent speakers which provides pretty good sound, mainly for music, is the Edifier 1280DB a good get ? It's on shopee sale now for 319. Or are there better speakers out there in terms of sound audio and pricing ?

Proper high quality speaker would cost about RM4k-6k for a pair, you will not regret and use it for life.

Get Dali speakers.

I dont think OP has that much of a budget.

Edifier R1280DB is good enough and often recommended within this price range.

the edifier is good enough. but lack subwoofer
so movies may not be so suitable.
see if you can reuse back your old speaker for sub.

Right, as a start Edifier is good as well.

For lifetime you, really encourage good really good ones, won't regret.

salpido & edifier are same kind lvl multimedia spk. no point changing

i would save money until 1k above then call that a proper speaker upgrade.

actually u r correct. need 4-6k will settled for life or even next generation until

There is a time and place for everything.

For RM319 you can't really go wrong with that Edifier 1280DB. What Salpido speakers are you using right now? If they're in the same performance bracket there might not be much improvement. If they're maybe 5-6 year old 2.1 multimedia speakers with a small sub on the floor, the Edifier might be a good improvement.

Don't splurge yet my man. Don't spend upwards of RM1k on something you're not even sure about. Most people are fine with sub RM500 Edifier speakers.

I see, the Salpido speakers im using is this type, which i think for many many years. I don't even think it's a proper legit speaker, thats why im thinking since im listening to music / movies most of the time, should i buy Edifier 1280DB, would it be a huge upgrade and worth the money ?

This kind of speaker, the R1280DB will surely blow these out of the water.

If you're looking for smaller footprint on the desk, can also consider Creative T20.

what you guys think about logitech z333

Just take note that the tweeters are fake. I.e. there are no actual tweeters, only for decoration purpose.

Wow I see, so you're saying from my stand point, it's definitely going to be a huge upgrade from this to the 1280DB, and in terms of audio quality it's going to be a huge difference ?

Yes, the sound difference will be huge.

once u buy the r1280db and you'll learn more about speakers and audio and you'll soon crave to upgrade

i also started with r1280db
not bad to start with these

Bear in mind of the different footprint between salpido and 1280DB speakers..if you got the space then carry on..

Although if you can stretch your budget, i would recommend you presonus eris 3.5bt or even audioengine a1/a2+ series..

Again, 1280db is good enough edi

Firstly, how much your budget?

Got budget, get at least 5" size for main driver. Get a known brand such as Edifier or Wharfedale.

I would say, bump the budget between 500-800 and pay close attention to Lazada/Shopee 9.9 sales.

Particularly Lazada with their bonus + voucher club combo
Downside is starting this sales, Lazada bonus require you to play that stupid Lazzie game 🤣

5" is extremely big for computer speakers. Desk space aside, it will shake everything on it during loud bass passages. Nearfield listening does not demand big drivers.
