Summary: These Are AMAZING

I never would've thought that something so small could be so powerful. They project into everwhere, and the bass is absolutely smazing. It's like having a huge complex system, but you don't. Its simple, easy to use and tweak, and sounds beautiful.

Summary: Just OK...

I did not buy this product brand new but am fortunate not to have done so. It does have decent sound but lacks any punch if used with an iPod. I expected better than this. My $20 "Evermax" 2.1 speaker system purchased at a computer show sounds better than this.

Summary: Power supply overheats

As far as range of sound, this is an excellent and economical system. However, the power supply is risky because it overheats. It gets soo hot that you can barely touch it. I turn it off every night because I'm afraid it might catch fire.

Summary: Great for the price.

Very very loud-enough to make you're ears ring (thats a good sign)

Bass is very deep and the silver volume dots on one of the speakers are touch sensitive like the ipod-now thats cool.

Great great desktop speakers, and they can hook up right to your ipod. Worth the money.

Summary: They're satisfactory for the price.

Coming from a 10 year old Aiwa set that was simply too large for my desk with an 8" woofer in each speaker, this JBL set was a nice change and a very nice gain in space.

However, they basically sound like quality laptop speakers with a subwoofer.

Like most speakers that have such small drivers, these really lack a good midrange. Well I should say you can get a decent midrange sound out of them, at the sacrifice of any clear highs. The bass is more than what you'd expect out of a 4" subwoofer, but due to its smaller size and lower wattage when you rise above half volume the bass notes start to blend together and become muddy, instead of crisper and clearer at low volumes.

Although there is good bass and clear highs, these speakers just simply don't deliver in the mids. They sound empty and hollow.

In my opinion, at this price point and comparing the wattage of these speakers compared to the competitors in this range, they would have been perfect if JBL would have made the driver an inch larger, and added a dedicated tweeter to really be able to produce a full range of sound like speakers should.
