Digital camera reviews of Jensen JHT525 5.1 Home Theater Speaker System

Digital camera Review: Decent $50 speakers
Summary: 3 Stars

3 stars for the decent value at $50.

I own ALOT of useless speakers that are dirt cheap so I'll compare the Jensons to those.
Against my old $140 klipsch promedia 4.1 computer speaker set the Jenson sounds muddy and boxed up. These Jensons absolutely fail in terms of providing a sound stage. The imaging is extremely poor. The quality difference is just night and day. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the quality of my Klipsch Promedia(I'm not saying my klipsch are a 10, but it provides a reference for comparison here), here's how it would look.

$149 klipsch Promedia - 10
$90 Altec Lansing ACS 48 - 9
$199 Onkyo HTIB 290 - 7
$49 Jenson JHT525 - 4.5 maybe 5
Comes with Dell system cheap Altec brand stereo speakers at work - 3
Comes with Dell system cheap Dell brand stereo speakers at work - 2
Cheapo 5.1 Colby system - 2
$49 No brand 2.1 PC speakers won at online auction in 1998 - 1

I don't see how people would compare these Jensons to Bose unless...will I don't want to get into that. At $49, I would say these Jenson provides a decent 5.1 experience if you just want to experience the effects of 5.1. I'll probably pair these with an old receiver and use it in a spare room. I might even put them in the living room as they are extremely small.

Pro: Cheap. Small. They can be driven to fairly lound levels. As a matter of fact, the level they can be driven to without distortion is impressive for speakers so small. Comes with a decent sub. I was lucky enough to buy these dirty cheap for $25. If I had to do it again, I would. For $49...maybe. There might be alot of 2.1 $49 computer speakers out there thats sound better, but you won't find a 5.1 system anywhere at this price.

Con: Sound quality is mediocre

Summary of Jensen JHT525 5.1 Home Theater Speaker System

Unbelievable sound in a mini system featuring; 5 Satellite Speakers, and a Powered Subwoofer

Jensen makes it easy to turn your TV room into a home theater showcase with the six-piece JHT525 5.1 speaker system. Combining an affordable price tag with optimal sonic impact, the JHT525 comes with two front satellite speakers, two rear satellite speakers, a center channel speaker, and a powered subwoofer. The resulting system gives you everything you need to enjoy rich, multidimensional surround sound whether watching DVDs, enjoying HDTV programming, or playing the latest console video games.

Each satellite speaker sports a 3.5-inch mid-range driver that handles the mids and highs, while the subwoofer's 5.25-inch long-throw woofer--which is housed in a wood cabinet with a front-ported enclosure--reproduces the lows with precision. The center speaker, meanwhile, offers its own 3.5-inch driver to play back the dialogue, ensuring that actors' voices always sound warm and crisp. The center speaker is also magnetically shielded, so you can place it on or near the TV without distorting the onscreen image.

Technical specifications include an overall frequency response of 50 Hz to 20 kHz, max power handling of 60 watts RMS, and a sound pressure level of 91 dB (89 dB for the rear speakers). The subwoofer is also equipped with several essentials, including a built-in 60-watt amplifier, two RCA line-level and speaker-level inputs, and an independent volume control for optimal level matching with the rest of the system. Finally, the satellites' attractive, low-resonance black ABS plastic cabinets blend seamlessly into virtually any decor, so you needn't worry about the speakers standing out like sore thumbs.

Each satellite measures 4.3 by 4.6 by 4.2 inches (W x H x D), while the sub checks in at 7.5 by 10.1 by 14.2 inches. The entire system is also backed by a one-year warranty.
