Digital camera reviews of JBL Duet Speaker System for Portable Music and PC - Aluminum (Pair)
Digital camera Review: 4 Years old and still getting my money's worth
Summary: 5 Stars
I got these speakers in 2006 and I'm still enjoying them today. I read some of the reviews here and decided to leave one myself. These are computer speakers, you are only going to get out of them what you put in. If you are using the sound card built into your motherboard you may not have great sound quality. I'm using a SB Audigy and the sound is superb. The bass is awesome for a set of computer speakers. The bass isn't going to shake the walls or rattle the windows, if you want that buy a sub woofer and a good sound card.Digital camera Review: AWSM Speakers!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
These are freakin amazing speakers... much better than the ones on your laptop. Definitely buy these, worth every penny!!! Work awsm with Macs as well!Digital camera Review: All I can say is, meh.
Summary: 3 Stars
Pros
- Inexpensive (at least at Amazon)
- Stylish looking (especially if you have an aluminum Mac)
- Decent sound
Cons
- The volume knob. Sweet mother of pearl, that thing is HARD to turn! It isn't that it's stiff, it's that it's slippery and doesn't provide enough grip. You can't turn it off without using both hands, and even turning it up and down isn't as simple as it should be. Very poor design on JBL's part.
- I was not familiar with the concept of shielding, but I get what people are talking about now. These speakers snap crackle and pop any time my cellphone is near it. I didn't have this problem when I was on Sprint, but it sure as has heck does it now that I'm on AT&T.
I got these speakers because I wanted them to match my desktop setup (I know, I know, but I'm a designer so it was important to me) and because they supposedly sounded good. They sound good enough for the money, but when you factor in that they aren't shielded, yikes. Not a good thing. If you aren't on AT&T and you can find these speakers on the cheap, then I'd suggest putting them in your short list. Otherwise, look elsewhere.
Digital camera Review: Amazing Sound!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a love of loud music and blew the speakers on my husband's Mac Pro. I read great reviews on these speakers and bought them. They are AMAZING!!!!! I even bought another pair for my kitchen. They sound great and don't cost much.Digital camera Review: Amazing Sound!

I read reviews here and elsewhere and decided on JBL Duet Speakers for my iMac. I could not be more pleased. Clear full sound. I have experienced no buzz as mentioned in some reviews. Highly recommend. I was willing to pay several hundred dollars for a good sound. This system cost me $38.00
