JBL Professional 1 Series 104-BT Compact Desktop Reference Monitors with Bluetooth, Black, Sold as Pair, 4.5-inch Speaker

These speakers were much bigger than I thought. Double check the size, then check again to make sure they will fit where you plan to put them. They're solid and feel durable with a good build quality. There are options galore for connecting them to an audio source. We purchased them for a dorm room and the audio clarity, sound, and bass were all very good. Because it was a shared area, we didn't get to max them out, but it was more than adequate for computer use and occasional movie watching.

I'm pleased with the JBL Reference Monitors. I use this with my Rode Podcaster Pro Mixing Board connected with two TRS Cables. I have them connected to my iMac via Bluetooth.They have a small footprint and are designed to sit on a desk. Hook-up was easy. The sound is crisp and and clear. These are designed for reference, not entertainment sound--so you're not getting much bass or modified sound.It's nice to have several input capabilities. You switch between inputs by pushing the selector button. The markings on the indicator are a bit small but it's not a big drawback. The volume control and selector switch have a good solid feel to them.So I'm a happy camper. I was a bit concerned that these were available before the release date listed on other sites; however, the box indicates US and I had no problem registering the product with JBL. I'm not sure about if they would honor the warranty since Amazon is not list, but I doubt if I would have any issues with the speakers. They work great and I don't play them at extreme levels.So I recommend them and I believe the asking price make them a good value.

I know some of the stuff they sell here is cheaper. Don't send Chinese speakers back to AMAZON. They don't like it much, and we all pay more money because of it.A quick story. JBL was founded by James Bullough Lansing (1902–1949), an American audio engineer and loudspeaker designer best known for establishing two audio companies that bear his name, Altec Lansing and JBL, the latter taken from his initials. He still has plants all over, including here in Los Angeles, where he started his first company, End of story - back to review.You are an adult now. When you buy junk, you know it.

So I bought these mostly for gaming, music listening and movies. Honestly, I think they're a bit overkill for that, but I don't consider that a complaint.I've seen some reviews regarding the bass response. I can see how that would be true if you're using them as they're intended or for listening to really bassy heavy music like House, EDM, Rap, etc. I'm mostly a rocker and haven't had the same experience. Your mileage may vary, but I've done a bunch of jazz, classic rock, metal and 80's pop... They sound great. The kick drum, bass guitar and low guitar tones are crystal clear.Like I said, they're a bit overkill for multi media use, but they have my full recommendation for anyone looking to step up like I was. I got tired of cheap, flat sounding speakers and I decided to spend a little more on a reliable brand. No regrets whatsoever. Mine do have the annoying startup noise a few other people mentioned and it does suck. I haven't figured out a way to disable it.Other than that, install was really easy and there's no blemishes on the speakers. I'm hard wired so I have no experience with the Bluetooth performance. I only removed one star because of the startup noise. It's really loud and unnecessary and I almost fell out of my seat the first time I turned them on, totally forgot about it.

Great sound and easily switches audio from PC to Bluetooth. I also like having the headphone out and Aux Input available.
