For the price, it's hard to beat. They sound good as expected from JBL. The bass could be better but I think they only drop to 60-70hz? So obviously some of the lowend image is missing. Which it isn't so bad considering I use these for my TV and Gaming and that I wouldn't want the lowend vibrating all the walls and waking up my roomies at 3am anyway. The lowend, mids and high are all clear. The lowend isn't muddy like most speakers in that proce range. They are pretty and small so they fit well on my TV furniture and in my living room. If you want that good vibrating sub feeling, I would recommend to pair it with a quality sub.

These Speakers are solid and feel high quality in the build. They are well put together. When mixing sound or just listening to music or a movie you do not want some filters or built in bass boost distorting the sounds. These sound great and I absolutely love all the inputs. Not only all the inputs but the ability to play all sources at the same time. It took me almost a year of researching buying and returning other 3" to 5" professional monitors. These sound about the same as the $300 - $400 range speakers. I couldn't be happier.

Excellent speakers for the price point, perfect set up for my PC. Clear sound throughout the entire range.

Brilliant reference speakers
These are brilliant reference speakers for a computer, and having various inputs adds to their versatility. Have two pairs of these in different rooms and they sound great in both. For mastering, heard things that previously hadnt on other speakers, lovely rich sound too
For the price I got them for at $99, they are a great value. I wouldn't pay much more than that for them though, there are better things on the marke

Great little speakers
Big sound, nice and flat (if not as full as you might like, but what do you expect??).
Very handy. But god, the startup sound is so loud and not suppressable. What were they thinking?!

Esteticamente belli e con un design alternativo, occupano meno spazio. Io li ho comprati in Amazon-usati (erano valutati in ottime condizioni) realizzando un risparmio del 60% ; l’unico difetto rappresentato dalla manopolina del volume non originale. Li ho utilizzate per migliorare l’audio del pc desktop e devo dire che suonano molto bene: suono brillante con buona resa di alti , medi e bassi. Le ho anche equipaggiate di un DAC economico per migliorare ulteriormente i dettagli, ma anche da soli sono ottimi. Molto soddisfatto.
Perfect for personal use and amazing sound quality!
Great sound quality and clarity. You can listen to words and instruments with details you’d usually miss in a good pair of headphones even.
Love these. If you want to try out reference speaker, go for these!
Great budget monitors
Good refrence monitors, great for aux hookups. Works well with el. drum kit too.
Could use a couple more inputs ir i have to gripe.
Nice flat response .. could have been a bit more powerful . Lacks power quality is great for mixing

Works great for desktop setup. Sound quality is good and clear. Bass is fine but missing subwoofer is obvious. Good set of computer speaker for clean and clear sound.

I am using these as computer speakers, and I really love them. These totally blow away traditional computer speakers. At low levels their sound is full-bodied, crisp, and high fidelity. But you can fill a room with excellent undistorted sound.

The speakers sound well, I expected a bit more power. Overall I am satisfied and I think that at 100 CAD the value for the money is good.

Amazing for those who don’t need professional level monitors
Use them in my basement home studio…. as a hobbyist home producer, they’re amazing! Big upgrade from mixing with Logitech desktop speakers and IEM’s 😉
A pro might need something better, but for anyone in a similar boat as me, they’re amazing. Very clear, very articulate, good representation of your actual mix.
I have an Apple Homepod and AKG K7XX headphones. These sound better than the Homepod (while being more versatile) and sound as good as the AKG headphones (which were $350).

I like them. Good for my desk. Not super loud but great sound quality and rumble. Not ideal for music production as they're not super loud.

increble los sub bajos que pueden llegar a dar y el diseo es sutil!!
Balance
Estos monitores dan un sonido muy balanceado. Estoy muy satisfecho con mi compra por el precio tienen un sonido de mucha calidad.
¡Excelentes para mi estudio en casa!
Qued muy contento con la calidad, y que adems no necesitas la interfaz en una primera instancia, puedes utilizarlos sin problema conectndolos directamente a la laptop y si quieres despus conseguir la interfaz para una mayor calidad. Para comenzar y con presupuesto ajustado son lo mejor que encontrars!
These monitors are just perfect for what I need - I was reading about new monitor technology online and this model kept being singled out for praise so I decided to replace the 7 year old Rokit 5s I had (which were already used) with these. I have a small apartment studio so I can't crank the tunes super loud for 10 hours a day like you would in a real sound studio so these smaller detailed monitors are perfect for my needs as they don't need to be pushed loud to do their job. Really detailed sound from top to bottom, now I feel like if I get new monitors they need to be above $500 at least because these ones are better than anything I could get for less. Not recommended for casual application - get hi fi bookshelf or computer speakers not these which are for audio editing/monitoring tasks and reference use.

Excelente producto
Las sonido de las bocinas es muy agradable, la relacin calidad-precio es excelente.
I think these are an incredible value for the price. The issue with them is that I feel they need to be listened to on axis and the design of the enclosure makes it tough to do so without some desktop speaker stands. I bought some 9" stands and they bring the coaxial speakers with a few degrees on my ears while at my desk. For non-critical listening, I'm sure they'd be fine 30 degrees below ear level, but the soundstage just disappears. Don't get me wrong, these are not Genelecs, but they do a decent job of providing a punchy, clear and loud sound for video editing, home and small studio production, etc.. Using these through a Focusrite Scarlett.

Design, weight and connections are superb. The volume is a little less than expected, I'll just use more main volume. Very clear, no static or hiss. Overall great for the price. Awesome deal.

Active Reference Speakers 104 JBL
These are fine for what they are , compact with a decent sound , I’m using them for my home alone piano & synths & the sound is fine for a small room .
I’m not expecting to hold parties with these , they are just for small space , decent sound & they do that .
Try Gear4 Music, you might find a good deal , they have an Amazon Store ..
I particularly wanted white , but black were a bit cheaper & I didn’t need bluetooth.
I’ve always trusted JBL s they know how to make speakers .
They sound good enough for me to use whenever i don't wish to use headphones. Neutral sounding, so not heavy on Bass or Treble. Good all-around set. I also like that they don't need to be angled up to my ears for the best sound, since they have a wider than average dispersion pattern.

Diseño y sonido super recomendable
La marca es garanta, el diseo super innovador y el sonido muy bueno
Not going to leave a crazy review but some things to note:
Volume — not nearly as high as really any other studio monitors. Ironically they are only loud on Bluetooth (?) and you can’t run your guitar through an amp sim and hear it in real time if you are on Bluetooth because there’s clearly a delay. Quite annoying to be honest.
Bass — It has it. Not going to shake your house but it’s clear and fine, imo.
Clarity — Again, fine.
Most important and annoying to me entirely; the speakers go into standby mode after not picking up signal for a while. So, say you goto play a youtube video after not playing anything for a while, the speakers have to wake themselves up before they actually play the sound and it will literally be about 6-7 seconds into a video before the sound even comes on. No way to get around this and it’s extremely annoying.
They look cool though.
First pair of monitors, very disappointing. Any of the other people saying they're accurate reference monitors obviously don't know anything about mixing. They're muddy, the highs are weak, the volume is abysmal (need to be turned almost all the way up on the speakers and my scarlett interface) and the bottoms don't even have screws for mounting. Save your money if you're working on music.

I use these on my desk as computer speakers. I do enjoy the look, very unique. The headphone and aux ports on the front are very convenient. have them paired with the scarlet solo using balanced output cables (instead of the RCA ones included in the box). They are a powered pair but only one of the speakers has the powered connection and the other receives power from the first. They do have a unique sound signature and I would not classify them as a flat sounding speaker so they may not be ideal for something like mixing but I do find them pleasant for regular everyday use. For the price I find them to be very good value for money and could recommend them for sure. If I had one small complaint about the speakers it would be that the volume is only adequate for a normal sized room. They get loud enough for regular listening but even at max volume they are not loud enough for say a party or entertaining a crowd in other areas of your home.
Kleine und relativ lineare Aktivboxe
Positiv:
Meine aus dem Internet herunter geladene Klassik-Musik (24/96) kann ich mit den JBL 104 an einer externen Soundkarte gut vorhren und qualitativ bewerten.
Gerade chorische Geigen, z.B. in Streicherkonzerten, verraten etwas ber die Durchsichtigkeit und Klaviermusik etwas ber Impulsfestigkeit.
Lngeres Hren fhrt bei mir nicht zu einer Ermdung, die ich bei den Edifier 1280 empfand. Die tiefen Register sind naturgegeben begrenzt, trotzdem beachtlich.
Die Anlaufphase nach lngerer Pause (30 min) ist kurz. Bei weniger langen Pausen (3 min) startet die Wiedergabe sofort (das ist nicht explizit gemessen, sondern geschtzt und ein sehr gutes Verhalten im Vergleich zu einer anderen Box (Soundbar).
Die Verarbeitung ist gut, das Design empfinde ich als gelungen.
Negativ:
Ohne Signal ist manchmal ein leichtes und kurzes Sirren zu hren, das mich aber weiter nicht strt.
Fazit:
Diese JBL wrde ich wieder kaufen, kann sie also uneingeschrnkt empfehlen.
Only grumble is volume....
Great set of speakers and look really good on my office desk.
Ive always liked JBL and these did not dissapoint.
Only slight grumble is that the volume coudl have been a bit loude
Monitore – kein Wunder dass sich hier dazu etliche Spezialisten in den Rezensionen berufen fhlen die JBL zu besprechen.
Ich bin kein Profi und habe auch keinen YT Kanal. Ich hatte nur die Nase voll von hufig wechselnden Mistboxen am PC.
Frher habe ich den PC nur sehr selten fr Musik genutzt, aber das hat deutlich zugenommen. Deswegen musste da was vernnftiges her.
Party mache ich damit nicht. Mir waren Boxen wichtig die mit einem Klangbild ohne die elektronische Glattmacherei der blichen PC Boxen daherkommen und sie sollten auch nicht grer sein als meine beiden 27 Zoll Monitore. Die JBLs passen schn dahinter, so wie es sein soll.
In diesem Preissegment ist mir noch nichts besseres unter die Ohren gekommen.
Was soll ich hier noch gro zu den Klangqualitten der Boxen sagen, was nicht viele andere Rezensenten schon so eloquent dargelegt haben.
Absolute Empfehlung von mir.
This is a very good budget monitor for beginners! This is also designed for table top usage (no stand required). The sound quality is incredible! If you’re into EDM this may not be for you as this doesn’t produce enormous bass (I’m a bass player). The volume is not too loud but it’s good enough (I’m using it with scarlett 2i2 3rd gen).
This can also be used as normal speakers for desktop or laptop.
Heavier than i thought. They are going to be my travel speakers. But they sound great for what I need to do with them. At first only one speaker was working. Once I changed the speaker wire everything was OK.

Incredible sound.
I am so happy with JBL 104. It sound awesome. I would recommend.
Only cons: somewhat noisy over 66% of volume.
bueno, bonitos,... y casi baratos
Calidad extraordinaria para el tamao que tienen, buenos graves y agudos, son de tamao intermedio, ideal para sobremesa, por poner un pero, que hay que comprar aparte el cable para conectarlo al Pc o al Tv
Vraiment très bien!
Wow! En effet la puissance de son est limite mais quelle aubaine ce prix! Je les ai install dans ma cuisine et le tout est juste parfait, une fois mon Equalizer ajust sur Spotify!
I bought JBL104 listen music from computer when I traveling . To make sound better I got: Monoprice Premier Series XLR Male to RCA Male Cable Gold Plated Connectors | 16AWG Shielded Twisted Pair Oxygen-Free Copper Braid Conductors, and adapter for XLR input: Qaoquda XLR 3 Pin Female to RCA Male Adapter (RCA M/XLR F). I attached dissent 16 AWG speaker cable and cheap LiNKFOR USB DAC Audio Converter USB , of course better DAC, better sound. New attached cable and DAC make grate audio improvement. After maybe 60 hours of work speakers start to be a live. Great bass and minimum distortion on full volume that what can not happened with cheap cable included in package. Other think is like sound diffuser, with could be build easy will make even better punch from speakers, but pillow behind work too. So far it is great speaker with powerful sound . Definitely great buy for money.
I've used all sorts of larger monitors over the years, mainly for a bedroom DJ setup. These JBL's are PERFECT for both sound quality, clarity, and size. I also don't need a clunky amp anymore. And that price?!? Wow. Just wow. They nailed it! Very pleased with this purchase.

best speakers i've ever owned
I love these they are super clear and lots of depth to the sound. Highly recommended for any application.
I originally had them hooked up to my computer, but now they are hooked up to my TV and they beat most soundbars I’ve owned!
Great for the price. Low-end seems a little “fake”-sounding when paired with an actual sub. Great for the price though!

Quality economical performer.
A decent economical solution for computer monitors with a bit more power. The sound quality is great at volume but not as articulate as other reference monitors, so don’t expect Porsche performance at chev prices. They will be more than adequate for general mastering, production, better for editing, outstanding for general use.
Great price, quality name, well built, unimposing size and shape when placed beside monitor.
Amazing sound, just what I needed
I have had JBL speakers before, so the brand trust was already there when I purchased these. I needed a solution for surround sound as I already had a sound bar with sub, and did not want to completely replace my set up and spend large sums of money. These now act as my surround, with the main sound and base coming from the sound bar and sub. The fact that they have their own built in amp made it very easy for me to set up.
When I solely use these speakers (during testing) they were great. Crystal clear sound, the base and treble is very impressive too for such small compact speakers. My living room is not huge, so these were a perfect solution for me. Combined with my sound bar and sub, I now get amazing surround sound for the theatre experience needed. Delivery was very quick and set up is super easy.
Good sound for relatively compact speakers
These are rather good speakers. The speakers are well built, with a solid, weighty feel to them despite relatively compact size. The speakers have an unusual shape (well, unusual by traditional standards) replacing the boxy design of traditional speakers with a sleek, ovoid shape – without entering the realms of wackiness. The speakers have rubberised bases and aren’t prone to slipping on a desktop. These are the basic, wired only versions. The speakers run on mains power via a single mains input.
At the combination of price point and size, the sound quality is really very good. The bass is a little weedy, but better than expected considering the size. I’m happy with them — and would not have been unhappy had I paid the circa hundred pound asking price, instead of receiving them as review items.
The volume is on the quiet side, sometimes I have to crank it up. But for home recording and mixing, it works well.

Pure unadulterated sound, smooth like honey. No distortion at high level and a perfectly balanced sound. Great for gaming as well and I do not regret changing from my 2.1 speaker system with that “thumping bass”.
If you want studio quality unprocessed sound quality at a budget – these are just bellissimo . And they look great.
Sound quality is unbelievable. AFter I signed up for Tidal to get proper CD or Master quality audio I was looking for something to make the most of that. I’m not a producer I just want to hear music exactly as the artist intended. So I wasn’t necessarily looking for monitors, just good Hifi speakers. However I compared these directly to the Edifier R1280T – its not even close. They’re nice speakers for the price, sure ($125 CAD) but they sound like tin cans by comparison. They go just the tiniest bit louder than these JBL’s but once you’ve heard them side by side you would never want to bother listening to the Edifier speakers at any volume.
Plus these JBL’s look way nicer, whether on you desk or in the living room, whatever you need. And they were $30 less ($95 CAD).
I’ve owned a ton of Bluetooth speakers and computer speakers over time, these are hands down the best for the price, outperform stuff 3x as much and the best sound quality of any that I’ve owned personally.
sound's good, i just need amplified it i little bit. but for the price wow !!

Excelente compra, precio, calidad y envío
Llegaron en muy buen estado y poco antes de lo estimado, se escuchan bien balanceadas, en general sobresalen por la relacin que tiene entre costo y calidad, muy buen producto
Astonishing speakers, top quality.
These are quite simply fantastic, I bought them to run a Pioneer tuner through. The built in amplifier is sensational for its size and the tone and quality of the sound is something only much bigger monitors could manage a few years ago. Simple to set up, with ample connections. Plus, the power save feature is a real bonus so you can leave them switched on and they bounce back to life when you need them. Astounding product.
Fast delivery. As advertised. Speakers not exceptionally loud but exactly what I wanted them for. Good quality

Really nice sound quality. Only thing that kept it from being a 5 star is the slight lack of heavy bass. But I mean what do you expect. They aren’t large monitors, so I already knew what I was in for. Overall great product though.

Buen producto acorde a lo esperado.
Buena calidad de sonido, potencia esperada. Buen artculo por su precio. Ideal para una estancia media.
Good speakers
Actually my 2nd pair. Originally had these for desktop recording monitoring, which I still use.
Thought I’d see what the TV sounded like through them. Sounded great, so wanted another pair.
When I saw them now being advertised for 50 less than the other pair cost, just had to get them!
Always loved JBL.
I think the reason they are now being sold at a greatly reduced price on Amazon, it that they are now being
replaced with the more expensive Bluetooth version. I don’t like the lag you get with Bluetooth, so these are great for me.
These are my very first studio reference monitors. I'm just getting into music production and I honestly like them a lot. Obviously you'll get better mixes with higher end speakers but the price point can't be beat. I love the features it has (bluetooth). If you need TRS cables, definitely buy some because it doesnt come with it. It just comes with the white and red one.

Truly great product.
It is a truly great product for it’s sounding and price. Now I really don’t understand why you should want to buy generic PC speakers from known brands for 100, 200 and even more euros and get that poor sound.
There is super clear highs and mids, the sound panorama is wide and have plenty of details.
There is a lack of bass, so for those, who want to make bass party, you should think about buying a subwoofer or pair of 305p monitors.
Well I needed a pair for my home studio/guitar teaching room and having once tried them with the TV went and bought another pair for TV Monitors. So much better than the soundbar I had – really good and plenty loud enough. As studio monitors, I#m sure there are better ones out there, but hey, those better ones are 250-350 a pair. These work fine for all the work I need to use them for. And saving something like 200 on a better pair means that’s another 200 I don’t have to earn – when you work for yer-self that’s how you see a saving – 200= 8 hours teaching. Anyway, you’ll really like them – not monster loud but loud enough and nice warms sounding.
Great speakers. Love the size and the quality. Great sound. Would definitely recommend these!

I don’t write reviews, but I just finished 3 hours back to back testing these and thought I should share. Short version: If you’re thinking about buying these you should probably buy them.
Long version: My testing comparison was against an Audio Pro A10 and – unfairly – my full 5.1 hifi (Onkyo receiver, Dali sensor floorstanders, etc). They destroyed the A10, literally no comparison on any measure. And in some cases they showed detail In recordings that my hifi blended out.
Obviously this set of stereo speakers is no match for the range and power of a big expensive setup (whether hifi or studio). But for this size of speaker at this price? If you have the need, they’re perfect.
They have a very good range and would work well for listening to music right up to medium sized rooms (30-40sqm) at moderate volume levels.
For monitoring they have great detail. They show up bad recordings. I noticed fairly subtle mic/setup changes mid verse in well produced songs I’ve heard many time before and never picked up on.
Unlike some detailed speakers they’re not tiring/annoying to listen to, they’re dynamic and fairly warm. Bass and mid are smooth and punchy, trebles are crisp without ever being shrill or metallic.
They’re solid, good build quality and have a clean, modern look.
This is a simple, versatile setup, plug it into whatever you want. Way better than a Bluetooth/Smart speaker that will get out dated; there’ll always be some new tech, new codec, new ai assistant. In ten years these will still plug into the latest AI device while your first gen smart speaker is deep in landfill somewhere.
Finally, these speakers could be used in any way you want. They’re not just for sound engineers. No reason they couldn’t be used in any room for music or tv or whatever. I haven’t tried them outside, they have a big sound but would probably sound a bit lost outside of a smallish patio/pool setting, so maybe don’t use them as the PA system at your wedding.
My husband was ecstatic when he plugged them up and heard the sounds. So clear and the volume was outstanding! We could hear every sound in his beats! Yes he creates beats... booming beats at that. We understood that we wouldn't be able to here the low end, so this was just what he needed for clarity! This is definitely one of our happiest purchases thus far. We recommend these monitors because they do what you need.

These are SUCH AN UPGRADE over my old computer speakers. It sounds incredible! The one weird thing I noticed, when using the AUX input, is that it seems to take a few seconds to "warm up". So I always need to restart whatever I'm listening to whenever it finally kicks in.

Smaller footpri
These are the shape of a big egg, but not like standard box speakers.
My previous setup for video / audio editing was an old pair of NS10s powered by a mini hifi amplifier as the MacBook Pro speakers aren’t ideal. This setup sounded good at low and higher levels, but s Still, it took up a large amount of desk space. I am due to be moving to a smaller editing suite so the idea of a smaller pair of monitors was something to be jumped at. In built amplifier too? Let’s do this.
JBL have been around sinceJames Bullough Lansing founded them in 1946 and have been installed inprofessional in homes, studios and cinemas the world over. So a pair of speakers with the JBL name on it must be good? Right?
So in the box are the two eggs. They’re not too heavy and they have a rubberised base so they won’t slide around on your desk. They connect to your sound source by a RCA sockets at the back of the right hand speaker. I used a 3.5mm jack to RCA cable from my 2019 MacBook Pro headphone out. Other inputs available are a pair of TRS and on the front, a 3.5mm aux in.Behind the grill you have a 4.5-Inchlow frequency driver combined with a 0.75-Inch soft-dometweeter. Power is a class D 60 watt (30w + 30w). They’re designed to be placed at head / ear height reasonably close and don’t take up much room on your desk.
Running for a week and I was somewhat unimpressed with the sound, there was no sparkle, no oomph from them. Then I started to hear what they were capable of. Music, uncoloured, which is what you would want in a (home) studio. They are not meant to give you fake bass or colour the sound. The volume knob is stepped, and glows when the speakers are powered. They don’t go loud loud, these are near-field monitors for a small or home studio (even just a laptop and DAW of your choice). For me, when video editing, I know the sound, be it vocal tracks or music, what I hear is what the edit should be when published. They’re now a useful piece of my studio.
Negatives? They are a tad bass shy. The sound took a while to open up. The on-off button on the rear of the right speaker is a little stiff, I felt I would accidentally push the speaker over trying to turn them on. The figure of eight power cable is too short (yeah, that’s more of a niggle and I had a longer cable on hand to fix that).
Note: there’s another version of these speakers with bluetooth built in. If you don’t need that, then these could be worthwhile.
These monitors are no-nonsense. I have been using them to edit my audio books and they make it possible to hear every error, slur or click that is in the recordings. In the past, I was using relatively cheap computer speakers, and having monitors as made all the difference. The audio books I have submitted to ACX have all passed muster in part due to these JBLs.

For the price its an amazing investment. That being said there is no Low end on these but that can be a good thing. I have an older neighbor and when making music i cant blast it so make it between these and my headphones and i get great mixes. Perfect also as b monitors next to 6.5 or 8 inch woofers

Superbly accurate clinical sound
From sound professional to amateur home producer these are a very solid pair of monitors. Clean, pure and clinical sound with a very precise sound range and absolutely no reverb. Very fast drivers deliver punch when switching and predictable fade from the horns make subtle tone shift audible clearly. Impressive quality for the price and good build/design features.
Note these are not for listening to music per say but designed to remove all variations from speaker/amp materials and build to to deliver clean sound so that the sound design can be judged.
Muy buenos monitores nearfield, por su precio y por su calidad
Muy buena calidad, tanto en sonido como en los materiales con los que fueron hechos estos monitores.
No me gusto el knob de volumen porque no es muy preciso y me hubiese gustado que tuviesen control para la acstica.
En conclusin quede muy satisfecho con el sonido que dan los monitores, tener varias opciones para la conexin de audio me gusto y me encant el diseo de los monitores.
Bought these because JBL is a great brand and always good for sound. My first stereo system included a pair of JBL and I was not disappointed than, and they still delivery the goods as after as sound reproduce go. They a built very very well, with a great design. They are a perfect fit for desktop speakers.

Really impressed with these for the size and price. Are they studio quality, no but for a bedroom producer absolutely ideal. Despite criticism that they lack bass, I can’t really agree, they sound good given their small size. If you give consideration to speaker placement, ideally near a wall, they deliver and then some.

Livr rapidement, les petits moniteurs donnent un bon rendement. J’aime bien le contrle du volume sur le devant la caisse.
Wow. These monitors are more than I expected. Very clear sound and surprized by the low end. It has the prop 67 warning from California. I emailed JBL to find out whats in it but they just gve back doule talk. I'm taking my chances for now and ventilating the room more.

These speakers are just right for my desktop video editing system. They're 10 inches tall and 6 inches wide, with a 4.5" low frequency transducer and a 3/4" "tweeter". Frequency response is 60 Hz to 20KHz. Even so, they put out clean, deep bass and the HF response is clear and crisp. I had to separate my speakers from the desk surface to eliminate some tubbiness. They're called Reference Monitors for good reason - they're accurate across the entire frequency spectrum. I like 'em a lot.

First 50% of the volume knob is useless. Sounds great when your seated properly between the speakers. Also a great upgrade for your flat screen even if you hide the speakers behind the screen and side fire them angled forward like I do sometimes.

The sound's a little heavy on the low end, so the highs in your music might be muffled or masked, especially in something with a lot of instruments/vocals concurrently. The volume knob is stepped, not fluid, but there's almost no noise in the output at max volume with computer volume at 50-60%. For under $100, it's pretty amazing.

The speakers are good and came with 3 years warranty. However i think this year the bluetooth version will be there in market as well.
Quality: The sound is so clear the bass is as much as it requires .
1. The movie experience on this speakers are so great that it actually meets 95% of cinema experience
2. If you are bass lover- you wont like this and if you love to hear the song in its true form these speakers are great.
Customer service: the customer services are atleast available infact better than others mackie and all the other brands..
Jbl will surely be on top with other brands in terms of customer service
opinio
producto funcionando bien , muy buena calidad , el envo llego con la caja daada con hoyos pero no afecto para nada al producto
Rapport qualité-prix excelle
Utiliss pour rfrence audio: rapport qualit-prix absolument gnial. Hautement recommand.
Barajaba varias opciones de monitores para el iMac. Para produccion musical, tocar la elctrica y el bajo, y a parte capaces para reproduccion de msica en general y ver contenido multimedia…
Me la jugu con estos JBL por un par de videos que vi en internet… Y mi sorpresa fue mayscula. Son cojonudos, buenisimos graves y muchisima claridad en agudos…pero es que los medios son lo que mas me llamo la atencin, un sonido bastante plano como deben ser estos altavoces pero agradables de escuchar y con un plus de graves que se agradece. Tienen entradas de sobra jack3.5, RCA y balanceada jack.
Tengo tambien unos Edifier de su gama de precio…que estan muy muy bien y los recomiendan en todos los sitios posibles, pero me quedo con los JBL… Son todoterrenos puros con un plus de “chicha”.
Y eso sin hablar del tamao y diseo que es increible.
Awesome at these prices or even MSRP
I just installed today. Extremely accurate and volume and drive is perfect.
I don’t listen to hard music much and especially not at the office but these speakers make me smile.
Caveat, I am using a USB Topping D10 digital audio converter which helps with resolution.
The combo is awesome. Get it. You wont be disappointed.
hese speakers are good build and sound guality,the only complaint is that it could use a bit more bass

These are really quite good and do offer a proper monitor sound, which is my preference. They need to be carefully positioned so as not to get too boomy owing to the rear bass port – if too near to a wall the bass can become muddled especially with bass heavy dance or hip-hop, but once positioned correctly this really isn’t a concern.
The build is excellent and the range of inputs great – I got these on offer for about half price and they are perfect for my office space, playing mostly vinyl and flac files. Highly recommended.
Very well made with great sound. Shame there's no wall mounting options.
This is a beautifully engineered pair of speakers from JBL. They feel extremely solid and everything about them says “quality”. In the box with the speakers is a mains lead, an instruction leaflet and a cable to connect the two speakers. This is straight speaker wire meaning that if it is too short for your planned installation it’s really easy to substitute a longer cable, no special connectors needed.
JBL have used expanded polystyrene for packing, it’s really time to switch away from this.
Inputs, power and controls are on the right-hand speaker. Supported inputs are a pair of RCA sockets and a pair of quarter inch sockets (balanced) on the back, and a 3.5mm stereo socket on the front. On the back there’s also a mains switch and the mains cable socket. On the front there’s a volume control above the stereo 3.5mm input socket and a headphone jack underneath.
I had these up and running quickly and was very impressed with them. They are professional reference speakers, the kind you’d use in a home studio, and at 30W per channel they sound fantastic. However they can also be used with a computer if you’re really fussy about your audio.
My only criticism is that there’s no threaded mounting hole provided to wall mount these speakers, which is a shame. JBL don’t do a mounting kit either and the rounded styling of the cabinets will make it difficult to use a generic mount with them. OK they are sold as ‘desktop’ but this feels an obvious omission. My plan is to search for a pair of suitable mounts so that I can wall mount them either side of my projector screen.
jbl 104 monitors are well made . mains lead with the UK plug fitted has the wrong 2 pin plug on the other end, it has a shoulder on it so will not fit correctly , the other mains lead which can with it has the correct 2 pin plug to connect to speakers but has a shaver type plug on the other end
for me they sound ok but are a bit bassey as others have said, I have blocked the bass port off, could be where the speakers are placed
These JBL 104 monitors are mains powered and accept voltages from 100 to 240 VAC 50/60 Hz so can be used pretty much anywhere, the cable they use is the figure 8 cable (IEC C7). Construction is mostly ABS plastic with sturdy metal grille across the front of each speaker. They feel solid with no weird creaks or rattles. The amplification comes from a master speaker and the second one is the passive slave just connected by a regular speaker cable. Sadly there is no option to change the angle of the speakers. A protective carry case is supposed to be made available for these speakers as they are lightweight enough (4 kg) to be easily transported.
The amp in the master speaker provides 60 watts of long-term power (30 for each speaker) and it is enough for near-field close up monitoring. JBL specs put the output at 92 decibels continuous at a 1-meter distance. They feature a coaxial woofer design meaning that the 0.75-inch tweeter is in the centre of the 4.5-inch woofer. One big advantage of coaxial design is that it allows these speakers to be significantly smaller than those with separate woofer and tweeters. Obviously with a woofer that small the bass is not going to be a strong suit of these speakers, but there is still a healthy amount of low-end frequency response which goes down to 60Hz and although you won’t be shaking in the room with them you don’t feel like you are being shortchanged when it comes to hearing bass lines properly.
I found that these monitors give a nice neutral sound across the board, certainly accurate enough for bedroom production and editing. There is no harshness or breakup until you max the speakers out which is not necessary for a near-field scenario.
They have an automatic stand-by mode which kicks in after not being used for a while but it is not as burdensome as with some other brands, it doesn’t take a whole lot of volume to bring them back to life.
On the rear of the master speaker, you have both unbalanced RCA and balanced quarter-inch jack inputs and can have both hooked up simultaneously which is handy. On the front of the speaker, you have a 1/8 inch aux input as well, although that one does override the two rear inputs. You also have the illuminated volume knob and a 1/8 inch headphone socket which cuts the speaker sound off when you plug your headphones in. The volume button works for the headphones as well.
They are reasonably priced for a low profile professional-grade studio monitors, and given how elegant and compact these monitors are and the awesome sound they produce I would recommend them.
JBL Desktop Monitors
These JBL are a decent enough set of desktop monitors. These are ideal for a small home studio or for making up videos etc when you need slightly better quality sound than tiny tinny speakers on a laptop or other computer speakers you can get.
These come well packaged, with cables to attach it to your computer and to connect the speakers together.
The volume knob is made of a a knurled metal and while it is stepped (rather than one continuous smooth motion), it feels very sure and secure.
The sound quality from these is great and belies their small stature. The bass comes through clearly and doesn’t get too muddy at higher volumes, the highs are crisp and the mids don’t get lost in the mix, like with other speakers or headphones I have tried in the past.
These sound better once they have had a chance to burn in and the cone can vibrate more freely, but to be honest the sound is pretty impressive straight out of the box.
A great bit of kit and whether you just want these for gaming, regular computer speakers or as monitors these JBL speakers should more than live up to expectations.
VERY GOOD BUT......
A nice pair of speakers that while not tiny should fit nicely on most desks. The sound is cool and clear, though I thought the Bass a little weak, but that might just be my ears.
For me, an occasional dabbler with music, they are not ideal. They need to be wired in to the computer, not difficult or time consuming but I have enough wires already, what with broadband HD backup’s extra wifi etc. I might have been able to get past this if they had been USB connectable, but they are not.
That really isn’t the speakers fault I agree but mine. But I would have thought them more saleable with USB that’s all. However, they are a very nice pair of speakers and I’m sure anyone would be pleased with the sound quality.
Middle-of-the-road, in a good way
I’m reviewing the 1 Series 104 pair here, not any of the 305/306/308 models that are currently under the same heading. While the other three models are all rectangular and serious-looking, the 1 Series have a stylish curvature to them- and smaller cones. So for the 1 Series, have JBL put style over content? Thankfully, definitely not. They sound fine- not amazing, but fine.
Through my day job video editing, I know JBL are a reasonably respected brand- not one of the absurd unattainable magic brands, but a good solid professional choice that won’t break the bank- but I’ve never actually ended up with my own pair, more normally finding myself with M-Audio, Genelec or Mackie. I can hear why JBL are respected, for sure. There’s nothing wrong with the fairly budget Edifiers I was using before I plugged these in, but the brightness at the top end of the sound was instantly distinguishable. Acoustic guitars and cymbals roll through exactly how they should.
Pro monitor speakers aren’t really supposed to make you go “wow”, because that’s not the point of them- they’re supposed to represent a balanced, high quality sound that represents the best of what you’re actually working on. So the fact that they didn’t blow me away with supreme bass or massive customizability is a virtue. They filled me with that “what you hear is what you get” confidence that you want from speakers when editing or producing music.
Also, the maximum volume on these speakers is well under what I’m accustomed to being able to get from other brands- another sign that it’s aimed at (as shown in the product marketing photos) laptop video editors and bedroom acoustic guitarists, rather than large grading suites or major studios.
Unlike some other speaker manufacturers, JBL also do a lot of cheap consumer-level, everyday products- bluetooth speakers and the like- and the range of inputs on these speakers does come from that world as well. The supplied 3.5mm cable is surprisingly poor- seemingly unshielded, as far as I could tell, and I needed to swap it out for a different cable I already owned to prevent a steady buzzing sound. That’s certainly disappointing, but thankfully easily fixed with a cheap replacement cable.
If you’re mainly using these for a bit of home office work, offline editing etc., or you’re just treating yourself to a pair of high-quality speakers because you love working to music, then these are a really solid choice. But if you’re setting up a proper studio or edit suite and you’re looking for cut corners slightly on the reference speakers, then ultimately I’d have to recommend similarly-priced M-Audio speakers over these- but only just.
These JBL Series 1 104 Speakers are mains powered audio monitors/desktop speakers with built-in amplification of 30W per channel. The speakers feature a 4.5″ (118mm) bass/midrange driver with a concentrically mounted .75″ (18mm) soft dome tweeter.
The cabinets are compact and look/feel very well made with one unit being the “master” containing the connectivity, controls and Class D amp. The master also features a front-mounted volume control, aux input and headphone jack which mutes the speakers plus balanced 1/4″ RCA inputs and 1/8″ jacks plus a mains switch on the rear.
The design of the speakers is distinctive they are, in effect, vertical, oval, pods which mean their footprint is modest although they are a bit taller and wider than I expected. The finish looks good with captive wire mesh fronts and, if you are planning to transport them, they should survive the rough and tumble.
Weighing in at under 4Kg in total you won’t be overloaded on the move. Although there’s no carry case available at present there are rumours that there’ll be one soon. One disadvantage is that you can’t alter the angle of the speakers. Also, although no mention of magnetic shielding is made, I found the 104s didn’t upset my monitor when placed in proximity to it.
Set up is easy you just connect the speakers using the wire provided, connect your source, and plug into the mains — there’s a subtle blue LED indicator around the volume control. To me, the purpose of a monitor speaker is to accurately reproduce the sound being input to it without colouration. I tried these speakers with a Korg, my PC and a Sony high-res Walkman. Remember, these speakers do not feature Bluetooth or wireless connectivity.
My first impressions of the sound are very good. Vocals and upper ranges are clear, without being tinny, mid-range is crisp without being harsh and bass is taut and well-controlled without being muddy. The level of bass is decent but not floor-shaking although there’s nothing to stop you using these 104s with sub-woofer. There are two rear-facing bass ports which don’t seem to mind being placed fairly close to a wall.
My perception is that sounds are accurately reproduced and generally smooth, the sound-stage is wide with good stereo separation. Even when placed a metre apart the sound is spacious and the volume is ample (quoted at 30W per channel) for a small/medium-sized room. About 95% of the rotary volume scale is usable before distortion sets in.
In summary, these are an impressive and versatile set of monitors which offer decent quality at a surprisingly modest price point – I like them a lot.
Excellent detail performance at all frequency.
con: the signal in earphone socket have an interference sound, not a problem for me.
It is better than 260$ Bose shelfspeaker in detail, cause I have both. I value fidelity of sound and this JBL 104 is probably the best one for any speaker below 200$ . BOSE having too heavy BASS, BASS that gloss over other detail sound and make newborn think monster’s coming.
When amazon first deliver it to me, one of the speaker lack a rubber seat, and they exchanged me another one. make sure you have both rubber seat if you buy. you don’t want speaker to co-buzz with the desk.
Bluffa
Je suis tellement satisfait ! je cherchais des enceintes pour le montage vido.
Le son est trs clair, bien quilibr, et tout a pour ce prix… Trs bluffant, je ne m’attendais pas si bien !
merci JBL
J’ai trouv les enceintes idales pour moi. Un son trs neutre, suffisamment puissant pour mon home studio, une excellente fabrication, les haut-parleurs l’abri des accidents grce une grille ne mtal, mise en veille automatique, ce sont bien des enceintes 2 voies (tweeter au centre du woofer), un look trs sympa qui ne fait pas massif. J’en suis vraiment trs satisfait et je les recommande sans hsitation (j’ai vir mon kit logitech THX tellement ce kit 2.0 est suffisant tant en musique (composition/coute) qu’en jeux-vido ou films).
As far as studio monitors go, at this price, you can not go wrong. Please know what you’re buying before you go headfirst into thinking this is a 2.1 set of (insert Logitech/etc here). It’s a very articulate sounding pair of speakers that thrive right in front of your face. You can hear the nuance in songs at a normal listening volume which I love. Just a fantastic set of monitors, couldn’t be happier.
Great value, and my mixes are turning out much better. Works great with Behringer audio interface and Win 10. Now I see they are $250? wow I must have got lucky. They were like $150 when I got them.
Great value here for what they are. I use them as my bed room speakers for music and gaming. For their size they surprisingly have good low end. The 3.5mm headphone jack in the front of the speakers is decent for normal listening volumes but you are better off using a dedicated headphone amplifier for higher impedance headphones. I just wish these had Bluetooth but at this price point plenty of value here.
These are great!!!
I bought these as a secondary pair of speakers for my studio, I have very expensive Adam monitors for mixing and wanted a secondary small pair for keyboard mixing. At 129 they were worth a try and i am blown away by their clarity and ability to handle live instruments ie: Nord Stage and Korg Kronos . I have to keep reminding myself how much they were.
I use these as computer speakers and the sound quality is superb.
The bass, while not earth-shaking low, is tight and accurate.
Mids and highs are crisp and the soundstage is precise.
The volume control is stepped, so you don’t get precise control but it’s good enough for my purposes.
All in all an excellent set of powered speakers.
It was recommended by a Youtube.
They have a good soundfield for me despite being small as said in the video.
Their cons are relatively hard to carry or move both of them together by hands and easily tumbled sometimes due to round form factor.
Sound might be better to use good cables instead of the included default.
