Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers commend the R980T for its compact elegance, detailed audio, and effective bass port that mitigates resonance. The MDF wood cabinet and on‑speaker controls are highlighted as strengths, while the modest 24 W RMS output and absence of Bluetooth are seen as limitations for larger spaces or modern wireless setups.
What Users Say
Everyday users consistently praise the speaker’s rich, detailed sound and the convenience of dual RCA inputs, noting that the wooden finish blends nicely with home or office décor. Common complaints revolve around limited volume for bigger rooms, a bass‑heavy tuning that sometimes needs adjustment, and the lack of Bluetooth connectivity.
