Good Value
Much like KEF these speakers use a coaxial driver, I went with them for their price and size and I was not disappointed. While they do not have the most controlled treble response, and their bass is a little lacking a bit of EQ will help. I also suggest some base padding as they are not the most dampened speakers around.
If you’re looking for a step up definitely go with the iLoud Micro
After over 2 years of sitting down at my desk at 8 am every weekday and immediately turning on Spotify and a twitch stream, and using them til 10 at night to play games with the boys, the left monitor finally just stopped. I'll miss him, honestly, but it was a good 2 years. Not bad JBL.

Good quality speakers
Writing this after using it for 3 days. I bought this for my PC to replace my old worn out USB powered speakers.
1. The first thing you notice is that the sound quality is great. Particularly if you have been used to cheaper speakers. Here the quality is professional. You get a bit of the studio/theater effect. When you listen to music or watch videos you can feel the difference.
2. The headphone socket on the speakers is very useful when I do my online classes. I can quietly plug in and listen without using the speakers.
3. The total volume / Decibel(DB) output is not that high as I expected from a 60 watt speaker. I was using a 6 watt speaker before this and here the DB is just a bit higher. You would expect a lot more from a 60 watt speaker. So that was a bit of a disappointment. But it still meets my needs : movies, music, online classes(which I record using software and playback).
So very good quality sound, BUT DB while good enough not high as expected.
Lovely, full, rich sound. Great sound with desktop placement. Great projection, especially at higher volumes. Loud!

I purchased these speakers for a specific reason that isn't exactly what it is intended for. I hooked these speakers up to the center channel out and placed them on either side of my TV. I had all the other speakers in place but needed the most important center. They work like a charm.

It's Value for money.
It’s a one time investment. Good Speakers. If you can add sub woofers, it will work even better.
Overall, it’s totally worth buying.
Perfect for my requirements ! Was looking for monitor speakers for my study room. Fully satisfied.
Good soundstage and presence. Love the white color and shape. perfect for a tabletop desk speaker.

ver impressed, after waiting for some time looking for the perfect fit for my home office, I am so happy I ended up buying these. great sound great quality great price, worth every penny.
Punchy small computer speakers
Sent without speaker wire to connect the two speakers. That was pretty annoying. That aside, they are great – small profile – computer speakers. Really punchy. Much better than a lit of the other desktop speakers. Choose these over the tiny ones every time.
Calidad JBL
De lo mejor que se puede comprar para casa. Profundidad y calidad sonora altsima. Recomendado tanto para disfrutar escuchando msica via bluethoo y como monitores de referncia de escucha.
The JBL 1 Series 104 speakers are the result of a long trawl through speaker reviews in reputable magazines/sites and the trial of quite a few different makes.
We wanted compact PC desk speakers that could play music to a high quality without costing a fortune. The JBLs really deliver that. They’re very solidly built and completely feel like an investment that’ll last a decade or more.
The music quality is great: strong, confident and detailed. There’s plenty of strength for an office room, bedroom or kitchen and it just depends how big your living room is as to what you’d get. That’s fine – they have a wattage and they can do what that grants them. Very impressed. They’ve been doing great for games, too.
One speaker is the master, containing the amplifier and PSU, and the other is a slave. The linking cable is nicely long enough to get good desk placement. It would be easy to extend if you need more.
The only small concern I had was on their stability. The flat bottom area is not terribly large so, in my head, they feel like one knock and they’ll be over. However, that’s really just in my head as two sets have been on desks here for months and we’ve not had one wobble, despite desk knocks. So there’s no proof to go with what’s just a feeling, so don’t be swayed by that – they haven’t. And they’re reassuringly heavy so they have a solid hold on their ground.
After a month or so’s trial of a first set, I was very pleased to order a second set for another desk. Great buy.
Really pleased with these! Sound quality is excellent and paired with Sennheiser headphones, they improve my Zoom life so much. Bluetooth connectivity is great and music sounds fantastic. JBL Pro Tech Support is excellent & knowledgeable.

Amazing, very detailed sound. Not much bass, naturally, but much, much better lows than most computer speakers. Great connectivity options and convenient controls. Good looking and very well built.

Sonoridad, colectividad y tamaño
Esta muy bien a cuanto a colectividad, no tengo problemas con la conexin RCA. La potencia es justa, pero si los separas de la pared no tiende a distorsionar. Supongo que con un bajo aparte completarlas todo el spectro
These speakers are best for home studio monitors. Flat sound and good bass will amaze you.

great sound for general use, i dont think you can expect the low frequencies to represent very accurately in the case of mixing unless you have a room specifically designed for them . but good enough in a pinch (id use headphones first)
