Awesome Speakers

Written by HF from Banff

Thanks for all the other reviews. Helped me make a decision. I had bought the Bose 2 Companion speakers and tried them for two weeks and returned them. They were rich and great with music but they were awful for spoken word - iTunes U stuff, podcasts, audiobooks. I listen to a lot of this latter stuff when I work and music when I write so I need speakers that balance both. The Bose were definately music only speakers.

I was suspect of the price on these speakers but the sound for both spoken word and music is PHENOMENAL. I'm totally impressed. I agree with the other reviews about the horrid on/off button but I can let that go because they are small and don't take up a lot of desk top space, no subwoofer vibrating at my feet. I like simple invisible speakers for my computer and these fit the bill perfectly with a great sound.

The last problem I had with the Bose Companion 2 speaker was that if I turned them all the way down and didn't mute my audio on my computer the sound would bleed through. With the JBL speakers I can turn the volume right down, leave my computer on and I hear nothing. I don't have to turn them off and no sound bleeds through. Don't do this often but it was interesting the Bose still bled sound when they should have been off. The Bose also didn't have an off button so they are always on. Terrific value! I highly recommend these JBL speakers.

Professional musician here working in various fields and genres of music. As soon as I setup the speakers, I gave them the ultimate challenge by playing 4 or 5 of my favorite songs -- and they haven't sounded that good in ages. A rich, full sound with clear vocals -- perfectly balanced all the way around. More than worth it.

Amazing speakers way too good for the price.

These Speakers are absolutely phenomenal. For the Price, i truly believe that their sound is to good. I'm a real audiohead, so my standards for good sound are pretty high. These speakers soar high above all my expectations that expensive speakers should have. These are better then bigger companies such as bose and altec lansing. If your having second thought about buying these, don't. Don't be fooled by the price.

I've had these speakers for about a year now. I use them all the time and have never had any problems with them. The sound is awesome, and you can't beat the price. I've actually had people comment on how good the sound quality is for such a little speaker.

Great Speakers...better than I expected!

Great speakers for the price. I got mine for my birthday from my wife. Sound is great and clear. If your worried about getting feed back from your blackberry or iphone...just don't place phone next to the speakers.

Anyways, they are simple to set up...just unpack and plug-in and enjoy.

Need better shielding

Written by JB from Sylvania

Good sound for the money but I got a great deal of feedback from other items on my desk from my monitor even to my Blackberry. Speakers clearly not well shielded enough. Would get intermittent static/hum. Ended up getting Bose Companion 2 speakers which have much better sound and no feedback, well worth the extra $40.

Well worth the $$

I purchased these JBL speakers a few months ago and have been elated with the sound quality. My son uses them when composing music and also to listen to & study music in order to learn his percussion part. Their sleek design make them easy to accessorize any desktop or laptop computer - I use these for both.
