JBLProfessional 1 Series 104-BT Compact Desktop Reference Monitors with Bluetooth, White, Sold as Pair, 4.5-inch Speaker

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.

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 have these hooked up to my piano/keyboard and the sound is right on. Since they are BT I can also play anything else BT through them if I so choose. Other ways to connect to them as well, as they are versatile that way. The cord it comes with is a little short for my taste, but that's easily solvable for very little cost. It's JBL so you know it's good.

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.

I purchased these speakers a year ago to listen to music, and to watch YouTube and movies on my iPad and laptop monitor when working in my home office. These are fantastic speakers with a solid build! I decided to take a moment and write this review because I had never cranked up the volume before until tonight as I usually keep them at a low volume so I can concentrate. Well, man! I should be using these in my living room because they sound great cranked up. The bass, which is mild when the volume is low really punches when the volume is high. The sound is crisp and clear and music sounds really wonderful. NOTE: other reviews have complained about the loud chime when connecting to Bluetooth or switching between devices, however, I find the chime turns off if you set the “INPUT SELECT” to “ALL MODE.” And some have complained about the wires being loose but I have not experienced that. Everything works well and these speakers are heavy with a very solid build in my opinion. The tweeter is placed in the center of the speaker like KEFF speakers and I think that adds tremendously to the excellent quality of the sound. Bluetooth works great too! I highly recommend these for anyone who wants good bass and awesome clarity in their music.
