Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of JBL Duet Speaker System for Portable Music and PC - Aluminum (Pair)
Customer Review: Not bad, Not Bad
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought these speakers for my portable dvd player, and they are great. I found some on sale for $22 AUD, so for that money they are fantastic. But I wouldnt pay full price for them. a few minor flaws, LED lights on the front are quite bright, no bass/trebble control. If I had of paid full price for these, I would have been a little disapointed, but as a cheap pair of multimedia speakers, they are tops.
Update: I hooked these speakers up to the computer and there is a lot of buzz. The buzz isnt present when using them with my portable DVD player. I wouldnt use these as computer speakers.
Customer Review: Awesome Speakers at Twice the Price
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the second set I've owned. I had the first pair for over a year and only had to replace them because I accidentally damaged the plug. The speakers still work GREAT!
I originally bought these speakers because they fit within my budget and was pleasantly overwhelmed and surprised by how great they sound. Even when it come to low end and bass they pull it off very nicely. I use them not only for music but while watching movies and have not been disappointed.
I would pay twice the price and still say: For the cost you CAN NOT BEAT THESE SPEAKERS!
Customer Review: Great Sound - compliment MacBook Pro very well
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought these to use with a Mac Mini and now use them with a MacBook Pro. These speakers have a lot going for them:
- clear, crisp sound
- more than loud enough to fill any home or office space
- sleek, attractive design, compliments MacBook Pro VERY well
I looked at 3-piece systems with subwoofer, but those were so large and had more cables (READ: unattractive). This system has nice sound with excellent looks. For the price, they can't be beat! I highly recommend them. (Also, no buzz with my computer -- must be the other reviewer's PC)
Customer Review: Great sound for little speakers and price
Summary: 4 Stars
For such small speakers they sound great and can get decently loud. I paid ~$30 and at that price they are an excellent deal. I saw several other reviewers mention a buzzing sound - I have not experienced this with my speakers (I've had them a little over two months now).
Only two minor issues: no jack for headphones -and- in order to turn the power off, you have to turn the volume dial to zero. It would be nice if it was a push button dial or had a separate power button so that I didn't have to mess up the volume setting to turn the speakers off.
Customer Review: nice, if you can stand the buzz
Summary: 2 Stars
For the size and power level, these speakers sound quite nice. But it seems as though they are not properly shielded. They produce a constant soft 60 Hz buzz that is rather annoying in a quiet environment. When my new speakers arrived I thought they were defective and exchanged them for another pair. But alas, the defect seems to be in design rather than manufacture since the replacement pair buzzes as well. If I were in an environment with some ambient noise, like an office, I might not be bothered. But in my quiet home study the buzz is quite irritating.
