Sound and Look good...

I bought these speakers for listening to music at work at very low volumes. (I work in a cube farm.) They sound full without annoying my neighbors and look great sitting on top of my desk... My only complaint is the knob (for powering on & volume...

Futuristic look, Small size, very affordable

Not a lot of low end at low volumes

Great Office or Computer Speakers

These are perfect speakers for computer or small office use. They have great overall sound with a very good range, excellent clarity.

Nice full well-balanced sound. Lightweight but solidly built aluminum. Nice design with small footprint but good base and cool little green indicator lights on both units to remind you they're still on when not in use. Nice grills of platinum cloth. I've

Only con is the on-off knob is small and slick so it's not easy as it should be to switch it off ; Adding a thin smear of Goop or rubber cement fixes the problem

Nice Speaker

Good for college students.

Pretty good. Cheap, nice sound quality, low electric demand, and low in weight. Your choice

When you put your cell phone near it, you will know what the hell gonna happen

I love these, unfortunatly

I got these as a gift after I bought my iMac. I initally hated the idea of having speakers on my desk, as I like a clean workspace. Well, I gave them a try before returning them and they are amazing! Such clean sound across the full range regardless of...

clean, deep bass for a 2.0 set ; not bad to look at ; small ; clean sound at all ranges, even when you crank them up full blast

They do not defy physical law and therefore occupy space

JBL duet speakers, great speakers for price

These speakers provide better sound than built-in speakers, just be sure you have a decent sound card, since that is sometimes the difference between good/bad sound. These speakers don't provide much punch, but for the money they provide decent sound...

Good Speakers, but the A/C adapter will likely fail

The speakers worked great for their cost and size, but after about a year the A/C adapter started shorting out. Maybe if you keep them stationary then it won't be so much of a problem, but if you move them around alot the wire on the A/C adapter wears...

A good deal for the money and good sound too

These are used on my macbook and the sound is a great improvement on the built in speakers. The color matches the mac and my printer so it even looks cool. They do not take up much room and install easily. The cord connecting to the input on the mac...

Big Sound; Small Footprint

I have very acute hearing--my tests go off the charts. When I bought a new TV recently the speaker inside the TV was grossly inadequate. I had heard these speakers in the home of a hearing impaired family--the Dad had bought a set for his daughters who...

Price should be cheaper

I figured given these are made by JBL they'd have absolutely perfect sound. Well, the bass isn't as great as some reviewers on the site I purchased it from had said. Also, the on/off/volume control knob isn't as easy to turn as one would think. I had...

The JBL Duet multimedia speaker system provides smooth and accurate sound for any portable music player or computer. With its incredibly easy setup and use, Duet is a sophisticated approach to achieving great two-channel sound.Duet uses patent-pending Tangential Strain Relief (TSR) technology that was designed specifically to deliver extra bass and lower distortion in small enclosures as a result of controlled linear excursion of the speaker. It also provides superior midrange- and high-frequency reproduction.The neodymium magnet creates more power and sensitivity. Duet also uses a proprietary Adverse Pressure Gradient (APG) port design, which greatly enhances the bass performance.
