Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of JBL Duet Speaker System for Portable Music and PC - Aluminum (Pair)
Customer Review: Very capable speakers are great for the price.
Summary: 4 Stars
These are replacing a set of Klipsch desktop speakers that went to a new HDTV in another room so they are getting compared to a very good set of speakers that cost around $200. First of all the sound is very impressive for a set of speakers at this price range. Other speakers around this price have been very deficient in my opinion. The bass is weak compared to the Klipsch (those speakers have 3 cones each, high , mid, bass) but not bad. You get a reasonable rounded sound that is fine for most web viewing and relaxed music listening. I can recommend these for a anyone who wants decent sound for their computer but isn't looking for powerful audio dynamics. The design of the set leaves a lot to be desired but I can get used to it.Customer Review: Best computer speakers out!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been looking for a quality pair of computer speakers for quite some time now. After reading about the JBL speakers, and going by the reviews, I decided to buy the speakers without ever hearing them. It's true!!! These speakers produce a full bodied, well mixed, and totally satisfying sound generated directly from my computer. The sound coming out of these small but elegant speakers blow other high value, high profile speakers out of the water. The comments others made about using two hands to turn the volume control knob are true. However, it takes so little energy and effort this should not even be a consideration. Don't wait... buy a pair. You won't be disappointed.Customer Review: Mini Speakers with a boom.

I Love these little guys. I have them on my desk to as a desktop sound system only. I don't use them as a main stereo source. I'm in a small office and each work station in the office has a pair of the Duets, and honestly for blasting your Itunes Music the sound is great, if the sound gets a lil tinny (like a tin can) or too bass heavy it's nothing a lil adjustment to the Itunes EQ can't fix. Their small with good sound clarity and pack a heavy bass sound when it counts. They can fill a 750sq ft studio office easily with it's sound. JBL has the best mini speakers out there in my opinion, I also have the JBL On Stage Speakers for iPod, AWESOME as well!!!Customer Review: Ralph Nader would labeled these "unsafe at any speed".

Do not buy these speakers at any price. Don't even bother accepting them as a gift. You will be disappointed. OK they sound alright until you turn up the volume, then they feedback regardless of how they are positioned. It must be an internal design flaw because I have seen two sets of these now and they both do the same thing regardless of weather they are connected to a laptop or not. Also, the volume control is tapered and too smooth to get a hold of so you will be frustrated when you try to turn it just to find your fingers slipping around a stationary control knob. I almost threw them across the room. Other than that they are great.Customer Review: Pretty Decent
Summary: 4 Stars
I agree with reviews I read prior to buying these speakers. The knob is hard to turn (you basically have to use both hands). And the speakers will pick up some sort of feedback or static from nearby electrical items including my desk lamp. But, the static is hard to hear when you have music on above a quiet level. All in all, I am happy with these speakers. The sound is pretty good and the price is right.
FYI, they plug into any headphone jack, which is also a big plus. So I can play my old iPod shuffle on them. I can also plug them into my Walkman. But primarily I have them plugged into my MacBook.
