Summary: Big Sound, Small Package
Comment: I needed some speakers for my Mac Pro. I just needed a boost so I could hear my audio books without pressing my ear to the CPU. I chose the JBLs for their price and size. I wasn't expecting surround sound quality.
I was pleasantly surprised with the JBLs. The sound is good and, for their size, packs a much better wallop than I expected.
I have them sitting behind my monitor and have had no buzzing or humming as experience by others.
The adjustable volume knob is a nice feature, although I wish it wasn't as slippery. I have to hold onto the speaker to get a good grip.
I've listened to classical, rock, audio books and jazz so far and I'm very happy with the performance. I've even edited sound effects and can hear everything I need to without putting on headphones. I am happy with my purchase.
Customer Rating:
Summary: they've been great!
Comment: Definitely a good buy! I've had these for nearly two years, and still using them all the time and have been happy. They live on my table next to my macbook. My tech-y son recommended them and he's been using his own for a long time too (haha, he doesn't even know I called him 'tech-y'. :o)
Customer Rating:
Summary: Best there is for the price.
Comment: We owned these speakers for over a year. We have them on a PC in our large kitchen. We use them a lot and play them loud. I have not once notice any buzzing or anything like that. I even have the 120 volt AC cords bundled right with these speaker wires. They fill the room with a nice sound thats really well balanced. I have many different speakers in my home ranging from 15" down to headphones. You can't rattle the windows with the bass that outputs from these speakers. I guess that goes for any speaker this size. All I can say is these speakers sound as good as other speakers at twice this price. I would easily buy another pair.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great bang for buck
Comment: The speakers produce great sound with enough base. I didn't find any buzzing sound as some reviewers have mentioned. The speakers do create a wide sound stage and can fill-up a big room with good sound.
Customer Rating:
Summary: The fail
Comment: PROs:
1. Low price
2. Small footprint
CONs:
1. Sound Quality - you get what you pay for in sound quality. Previously I used a set of Klipsh 2.0 computer speakers that blew the socks off of these speakers in sound quality (and just about every other feature).
2. Clipping - at medium-high levels these speakers clip
3. Volume Knob/On-Off Knob - This knob is shiny and smooth, making it difficult to grab, it is fairly hard to turn as well - which is not a good combination. I'm 31 and like to exercise (I'm not weak) and it is annoying to me that I need to use to hands to turn these one - one to hold the entire speaker so I can get some leverage, the other to turn the knob - thats ridiculous.
Kids under 10, or folks over 60 would probably not be able to get these speakers on very easily.
4. Not available in Black
______________________________
That said, this price range is fairly bottom of the barrel and these might just do the trick for you.
