Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of JBL Duet Speaker System for Portable Music and PC - Aluminum (Pair)
Customer Review: Awesome - but realize what they're for
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought these speakers when I left for college, and they were the perfect size to fit on a desk, fill the room with music when I'm working out, etc. The sound quality is great, and its easy to set-up, and as important, disable: just plug them into and out of the headphone jack.
However, if you want to throw a loud party, get something bigger: After having them on full blast a few times, they started to get a static-sound at high volume (fine when lower though)
Still, I don't think there's anything better out there. I'd buy again.
Customer Review: These are a great pair of low-cost speakers
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the second pair of JBL Duet Speakers I have owned. I purchased the first pair approximately five years ago (probably longer) for music playback/rehearsal. Unfortunately, I fried one of those speakers a few months ago with loud and intense bass (probably not the best choice for these speakers but I didn't realize how intense it would be).
I consider myself fortunate that these same speakers are available at Amazon, at an even cheaper price. For the cost, the sound is great and, with most levels of music, they will last forever.
Customer Review: Great sound, loud buzz
Summary: 3 Stars
If you have to run the power cable next to other power cables, which you likely will, you may find that you get a loud buzz when there is no music playing. I believe this is due to improper or inadequate shielding of the power cable.
When the speakers are playing audio, the sound is great, but when they're not, the buzz is fairly nerve-wracking.
So, if your speakers can be wired away from other computer cables, these are good speakers. But if you need to run the power cable near the other cables, you may get a buzzing sound.
Customer Review: Meh
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm not a big Amazon review writer, but I just had to come on here and set things straight. These speakers are just not that great. They are slightly better than "standard" computer speakers, sure, but not by much. I wanted something with a big sound - these things become distorted (especially the bass) at medium volumes. If you listen to heavy rock or bass-heavy r&b, you better plan to listen quietly.
These speakers are not a bad deal for the price, but I think they have been hyped up way too much in the reviews here.
Customer Review: Satisfied Customer
Summary: 4 Stars
I read some of the other reviews of these particular speakers before I decided to order them. There are many 5 star. I thought, if this many people are happy with the speakers then they must be OK. I was pleasantly surprised at the sound quality of these rather inexpensive speakers. They are perfect for a small room. I listen to a lot of music online and I am really enjoying them. The only reason I rated 4 stars instead of 5 is because I had to pay more for the silver color? Not fair. White would not have matched my computer.
