I bought these speakers because they match my cpu and the tweeters are very small and don't take up much room. They also sound alright--I watched a couple of movies with the new speakers and they sound good.BUT, for some reason--I'm still not sure what the deal was, the tweeters were very frustrating to get working. When I plugged the tweeters in--the LED lights weren't coming on--so no sound. I finally got them to work by playing with the wires and unplugging them then plugging them back in. JBL has needs to get that fixed.A bitter-sweet purchase. And not a bad price.

I have given these speakers as gifts on two occasions and own them myself as well. The sound quality is excellent and they're easy on the eyes also. In my opinion, there is no better system in this price range.

I came across this little ditty at the Mac store in Ginza (and now regret I didn't get it at Amazon who have it for almost half the price!) Still I had to get it. I remember Small computer speakers from that recent age when they were synonmous for cr*ppy listening. These seemed quite juicy !But how would it hold up on MY tiny i-pod I wondered... especially keeping in mind that the bass response on some i-pods do seem a bit weak at times. The answer... Unbelievable. Turned my i-pod into a home stereo system overnight! I put on some JB as well as Jazz -- the bass was really kicking. Overall range and dynamic great.... And the big treat was with FELA KUTI - - I could really hear Tony Allen's killer work on the kick drums...And a few added pluses - - aside from the speakers being magnetically shielded (no worry about placing them near the computer screen), you can place the larger bass speaker wherever you want (sound is omnidirectional.) Of course its best sitting in between the two tiny speakers, but even from across the room the sound isn't that bad. Overall power and volume won't shatter windows... but neither do I find myself playing them at top volume either. You can also mute the volume instantly by simultanouesly touching the right and left volume controls.BOSS proved that BIGGER is not necessariy better...JBL is proving that you can get a nice computer/i-pod speaker system with really great sound and not putting too much of a dent in the wallet.SOLD !

My computer's sound was just mediocre . . . I checked on the Apple Discussion Boards, and many people over there recommended these speakers. Then I looked at the reviews here. Almost all seemed very favorable.I ordered them yesterday. Got them today. Hooked up in 5 minutes. No configuration, just plug and play. I'm stunned! Now I'm keeping them way less than half-way powered up, and I know the neighbors can hear me three doors down. Sound Quality is excellent as well. I'm thrilled.

I was a little skeptical when I made this purchase, due in part to some of the other reviews and the low price of the speaker system. I have to say that I'm very comfortable with the purchase. The units are stylish in design, have good sound quality, and are worth more to me than what I paid for them.My only criticism of the speakers would be the volume adjustments. One "feature" of the speakers themselves are push-button volume adjusters...you must tap the increase volume/decrease volume buttons to adjust the sound. Not a lot of finite adjustment available; adjustment through the computer sound control is better. The sub-woofer volume adjustment is bullet-shaped and relatively small; difficult for my larger fingers to make delicate adjustments with. Their slick metal coating looks great, but makes it difficult to get a grip on.Overall, these are great speakers for the non audiophile who simply wants to enhance the stock system that came with their computer and isn't over sensitive about sound quality. My hearing isn't fantastic, so I cannot speak definitively about the quality, but there's no hum, no static and very little distortion at higher volumes/high bass levels...

These speakers look really nice and are very well made. I am an audio enthusiast and bought these based on reviews. They get very good ratings on a number of sites. They sound very "hollow" to me though. There is no mid-range to speak of. I wish they sounded better because they have little LED lights on the satellites which is very cool.

The two main speakers are basically the same ones that came with my iMac (G4 model), and they sound very good. I picked up this set for my living room, and simply attached my iPod's dock to the bass unit, where all the cables converge. That's my stereo now. The gray models' color is slightly cool and is glossy but not metallic in finish. It doesn't quite match any of my other electronics, but it's not an awful mismatch either. The dials, controls and the covers for the speaker memberanes are almost all chrome-silver covered plastic. The bell shapes grow on you. Small integral pedestals in the molds hold them about 1/4" off whatever surface they're on, so vibrations are minimised fairly well for most settings. The two main speakers are quite small, and can tuck away fairly easily, though their bell shapes don't make them the best bookends. The subwoofer is smaller than some, but not too small that it affects their output.The speakers pick up plenty of detail from the music for most listeners, though if you're really trained, I'm sure they're not nearly as good as more professional gear. In my experience, the bass unit is maybe a tiny bit too aggressive at its normal level, but that depends on your music too. More recent music is being mastered to emphasize bass, and it can drown out midtones and treble. The level you can pump up the treble, bass and volume is almost ridiculous, so be careful if you have pranksters in the house who like to fiddle with the controls. :-)The volume is controlled by touch-sensitive buttons on the right speaker. There are no moving parts; it's like the iPod's scroll wheel in that sense. They're sensitive to touch and you can just hold your finger on the "+" or "-" buttons to keep changing the volume, no annoying tapping needed. The volume shifts are noticeable with each click, but are not too different that you'll have that problem where the voume seems either too quiet or too loud with nothing in between. The controls for the treble and bass are located on the subwoofer. This seemed inconvenient at first since you usually put that piece out of the way, but I never touch the two settings once I put them where I liked them. Others who want to fiddle more might find this to be a problem, though they might also find that two simple equalizers isn't good enough either. I find the default mid-range setting to be right for both. Basically, I trust whoever is mastering the tracks in the studio to get the equalizers right for me (even if it means a lot of bass). The dials "fall" into place at the mid-range easily although there aren't any visual indicators of their current setting. You have to "feel" your way around the dial. Again, if someone wants to interrupt your pacemaker with high bass, this thing makes it easy. ;-)The AC adaptor brick is kind of big. All the cables and their plugs on the bass unit are distinguished by color and shape -- square peg, square hole fit kinda thing. The cables are 4'-6' long, I can't remember exactly. Long enough so that my subwoofer is on the floor and the two speakers are about 30" higher and about 6' apart with the cables still slack.Considering that some computers get the equivalent speakers already, and that even without the subwoofer, they get good bass, this won't always be a good choice, especially at this price. But for my purposes, or for those who got cheapo speakers with their computer, these fit the bill nicely.

These speakers are small and look cool, but they do not do the job whether hooked to a computer or an iPod directly. They cannot handle any amount of volume. They are too tinny and the bass is too flat. The combination of the speakers really does not work. I boutght them for my house or office to simply listen to music while doing work and they were not good for even that. Go with Altec Lansing. That is a much better product.

I could not believe the sound quality I received from these speakers. The "one touch" volume controls on the speakers was absolutely great. I recommend these to any person who enjoys listening to all kinds of music. I watched the movie "Happy Feet", on my computer with the speakers and the surround sound will knock you off your "feet".

I got these speakers because of the combination it madE with my mac. The speakers sound great, this is what I really needed because they are not too big and the sound is perfect for me. Probably if you are really fan of loud music you should look for something else but even though, these speakers are perfect if you want quality, good sound and design.

This is an excellent set of speakers for such a small price. It fits nicely in my room and is quite stylish with my decor as well as providing great sound. I use it with my iPod nano and I couldn't have asked for a better sound system for the price. I highly recommend it if you need speakers for a smaller space. It wouldn't fill a house with adequate sound, but is great in a bedroom, office or kitchen area.

Tested these, side by side with the Harmon Kardon Sound Sticks. Flashy those sticks. I wanted to justify getting them, but for my kind of music they did not perform NEARLY as well as the JBL Creatures. Here's why. If you listen to anything that is fast, with vocals, like acoustic guitar, the creatures are crisp and clear and very well balanced. They were $129 at the Apple store and about half that on Amazon. Test them for yourself. Take a CD to the apple store and be amazed. Disclaimer: if you like your windows to rattle and your car to sound like it's going to blow up from bass, then you might not want these speakers.

I've had the JBL creature II speakers for over a year now and all of a sudden they gave out on me... But lets talk about the experience before that. You have to admit, looks play a big role in the purchasing of this product. It really stands out being that its not your typical squared speaker system. Beautiful! And the green lights under each speaker adds the pefect touch especially in a dark room. The subwoofer does an ok job handling the bass, but it's not too powerfull. Doesnt really get down there on the low bass. The power cord has a super huge brick in the middle of the cord. These are fairly small speakers and not all that powerfull so is the enormous, 3lb power brick really necessary? Another annoying thing is that the power button is wedged right between 2 cords in the back of the woofer. Kinda hard to get to, you almost need a pencil to get in there! About the sound - you dont really have any options, its just one tone all the way through. So its not too great on bringing out the good stuff on vocals, jazz, acoustic or classical music. On the other hand they reach a pretty decent volume if you're just using them as dektop speakers. You can't really expect a super power sound system for under 100 bucks. Apart from all the pros & cons I would like to put my problem out on the table.. I was doing some moving so i disconnected my crature II's and when I hooked them back up they didnt want to work. I hear a very low buzzing noise comming out of the subwoofer but nothing from the 2 side speakers. It's pretty annoying to not be able to do anything, but I guess after almost 2 years its better that I just upgrade for my own listening pleasure!

I'm in a place that's only 18' x 23" and they're perfect for it. I can't believe how much they'll fill up the room. If this was a much larger room, they wouldn't work as well. Actually, the sub-woofer could power an even larger room. I have to be careful I'm not disturbing the neighbors!

The Creature II's are probably the best multimedia speakers out there. They have high definition sound quality, and are high quality in features. For a 3 speaker system (Bass/Woofer) (2 Satellites) it makes you feel as if you are listening to a surround sound system. Apperance wise I would rate the Creature II 10/10. They look very cool, and can go anywhere. You can use the Creature II with your computer, and place it by the monitor because of its Magnetic Shield. On one satellite speaker, there is universal volume control. The neat thing about this is that it controlled by static. When your finger is placed on the + (volume up) or - (volume down) sign u barely have to press, it is statically sensored to control the volume. On the Sub you can control Trebel and Bass, which is another quality feature to this amazing speaker system. I would highly reccomend this system to anyone who is looking for a system involving multimedia, or even just a single speaker system. It goes great with Ipods, Mp3's and your computer. It's a quality sound, for a quality price.-C.J. Milwaukee, WI

The only speakers I've ever owned, other than these, were blockish and black, and genereally ugly. I suppose most speaker makers were just thinking of Function and not Form. These Speakers get both elements right.I bought these for two reasons, my roomie and his computer, and the guy across the floor with his speakers and Sub. First off, my roommate was a jerk and he'd come in while I was working and playing music on my puny Laptop speakers, turn on his music and blast me with some screamer or hardcore band. He had a blockish Sub that he could hide under his desk. The Guy across the floor on the otherhand, this guy took bass to new levels. There are forty some odd people living on this floor, I live in one corner, he lived on the EXACT OPPOSITE CORNER of the building, and I could FEEL his bass all the way over here, and I could hear it too.These are the best speakers I've ever used by the way, they are impossible to set up wrong, since everything's color coded, and there are lights on the satellites that light up when they're hooked into the right jack. You can control volume via the right speaker or do what I do, turn the speakers up to full and just control everything through the Computer. I get a good range that way, for instance, level one is quiet enough that no one except me. Level four is about as loud as my laptops speakers can get, and since I don't have a roomie this year to worry about blasting me, I normally keep it around five or six. I can't turn them all the way up just cause they're so loud, six is only about a third of their power. The good news about that is even at the limits of what my ears can take (around twelvish) I can hear no distortion, and the professional reviewers say that even at the higest they go, they can't hear anything bad either.I have an Apple iBook, so my computer is a "stylish" computer and these complement it wonderfully, just beautifully.So these speakers are both very functional/powerful, and they are well designed to be shown off and not hidden under a desk. Buy them, love them, they are awesome!

This product is small and inexpensive but very functional as a shelf speaker system. The sound quality is reasonably strong while not being overbearing. I highly recommend this product for living rooms, etc where music is played at passive levels (not if your trying to shake the room).

I gave this to my son for Christmas to use with his computer notebook and he loves it. The sound quality is what you expect from JBL, but the price is unexpected... the best I found anywhere. Upon returning to his dorm last week he remarked that once they were on the shelving it gave a surround sound affect that couldn't be matched by many other computer enabled speakers. (I still can't over the fact that the bass piece looks like Darth Vader's helmet, tho!)
