R1280DB Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers

After reading lots of reviews, I was excited to receive these speakers, certain they would sound better than other bookshelf speakers I have tried. But in reality, they sound very much the same. The sound isn't bigger or deeper. I'm finding it a bit tinny. I do like the built in amp and the bluetooth connectivity, but for the price, I was expecting better sound.

The speakers are great but the very small remote feels cheaply made and is hard to use. It works intermittently. Customer support's advice was to change the battery, but I can't even see how to get it open.

My son bought these some time ago and after both of my Bose iPod docking stations became defunct, he suggested that I get these as a replacement. They arrived in six days in perfect condition. After a bit of studying the instruction "map" I was able to get them connected and play my iPods easily. The sound is absolutely AMAZING and I love them! Thank you for creating a superb product.
