I have a small 15" White Toshiba HDTV in my kitchen. Great picture but poor sound and low volume. These JBL Duets work great (using the TV headphone jack) sitting on both sides of it. They sound really great. No buzzing or distortion, good bass, mid and treble. I found that moving the volume control is a bit slippery (as others have mentioned here) so I used plumbing thin white thread tape (used on faucet threads)once around it and solved the problem. I have had no problems with the power saving feature using 95% volume on the TV and 30-50% volume on the JBL's. As for the speaker green lights, I used some satin white paint with an artist brush to tone it down.

I bought these to use with a record player, and couldn't be happier. They look great up on a bookcase shelf; blend in well and have a nice tapered look. And the sound it as good as I could have hoped...makes my LPs sounds as good as I could imagine they ever could.

These are great speakers, just what I wanted. The one thing I don't like is the poorly designed on/off knob. While it works fine for volume control, you need two hands to turn it off or on. Even though it has ridges, you can't get a good enough grip on it to turn with sufficient force past the on/off point without holding it steady with your other hand, or leaving it mounted or wedged somewhere where it is held from moving (which defeats its portability). Even with this constant inconvenience, I still like them.Update: After poring through other reviews I found suggestions for fixing the slippery knob problem. A little superglue (let it dry!), thin velcro loop strips between the ribs, a rubber band and tape. I tried cutting the end of the little finger of a disposable glove, but that didn't fit snugly enough. I had previously tried a rubber band, but it kept rolling back off the bullet shape. I tried the scotch tape, which does work - you want a strip 1 3/8" long, ideally 1/4" or slightly wider. Then I looked down into my drawer and saw a pen with a cushy gel grip sleeve on it. Push this onto the knob and it works really well. I took it off and sliced a little over 1/4" from the end and stuck that bit on the knob. Mine is clear and looks good.But it's amazing how little friction is really needed to make the on/off turn easily. When I took the tape off I found that just the faint residue (hardly detectable) made it still work for a while, although that wore off. Roughing up the surface with sandpaper might work but I did not try that. Anyway, I hope this helps.

I have had these since Feb 2012. I am a college student and these go with me everywhere. Even though they have seen a lot of use, they still work perfectly. The sound quality is very good, especially for the price. The bass is a little light, but the mid and high tones are clear.If you turn the volume up more than 2/3 of the way, the music tends to distort, especially in the bass tones.Very durable, great sound quality, and a good price!

Well where to start...Been looking and looking for a cheaper set of 2.0 speakers for awhile now. I was getting sick of all the wires from my 5.1 setup and just recently purchased a great set of 5.1 headphones so I just needed a basic 2.0 set of desktop speakers to fill the void of when I'm not using the headset. There was a lot of great raving reviews on these things and amazon warehouse deals had a set cheap that I could not pass up. AT first when I opened the box I was thinking wow they are light and I'm not expecting to much from them. Well they sound great for the price I paid. Do I think they are worth the original 43 bucks on here, no I dont but at the price I paid sure.The highs and mids are a little lacking on these and being overpowered by the bass....yes these little suckers have plenty of bass! They are hitting their expected low of 60hz with ease! That being said, to my ears the highs and mids were being hidden by the deeper bass extension. An easy fix for anyone who thinks the same is to go into your sound card settings and mess with the equalizer. It helped a ton and now mine sound just how my ears want them to. They do start to distort a little when pushed really hard but with the volume knob anywhere from slightly over middle on downwards they sound fabulous. I think the looks are very appealing on them and the green LED power lights dont bother me one bit. If your distracted by green LED's they may bother you cause they are fairly bright. For me it isnt an issue. The power brick is pretty big so make sure you have room on your surge protector! It covers up 3 slots on mine. Hookup is easy...connect them to one another then plug into the green port on your soundcard or headphone jack then plug the power cord into them and thats it. The speaker with the volume knob is the right speaker. At first I had them backwards so thats just a heads up to someone before they actually hook these up. All in all I dont think there is anything in the price range that I've heard that sounds any better.

Let me just start this review by saying that I have owned a pair of these speakers for about 5 years. I've used them exclusively for that entire duration, and there are several key points that I feel is important for your consideration:Pros:1. Decent sound quality at low-to-moderate volume.2. Long cords which will easily accommodate most desk setups.3. Aesthetically pleasing design.Cons:1. The knob is virtually impossible to turn with one hand. It's very tight and too smooth to get a good grip. This is a minor problem, but it can be a little annoying when you just want to make a quick adjustment.2. Buzzing. These things buzz very noticeably once you've turned them up past about the mid-point in volume. It's subtle at first, but this effect becomes progressively worse as time goes on. I noticed the buzzing in them from day 1.3. Quality degradation. As I said previously, I've owned a pair of these for 5 years. For about the past 2 years, the left speaker has been blown out entirely and doesn't emit any sound other than a buzzing/crackling. About 6 months ago, the problem spread to the second speaker. I have no choice but to replace them now, and I don't think I'll be getting another pair.It should be noted that due to the intolerable buzzing these speakers emit at higher-end volume levels, I never had them up that high. I didn't blow them out from overuse at high volumes, in case you were wondering the cause.In conclusion:If you're looking for a pair of speakers that are inexpensive, decent at moderate volume, and don't need to last more than a couple years: These are okay.However, if you're going to drop 60 bucks on speakers, I'd advise you to carefully consider alternatives.

For under 50 bucks these are simply fantastic sounding speakers. The highs and mids are crystal clear, and even the bass that comes out of these tiny things will astound you. I've had them for four months, and they seem to have gotten better after an initial break-in period. Many of the reviewers are right about the on/off volume knob, it's definitely in need of a new design, but the sound is so impressive it won't bother you that much. The other chief complaint I've been reading about here, the power saving turnoff feature, is not worth getting bothered about either. I have my Duets hooked up to my MP3 player in my bedroom, and the delay on initial startup is barely noticeable. Buy these speakers, trust me, you will be blown away. As a long-time JBL fan, I've owned many of their products, and they have come up with another winner here.

I have always been a fan of JBL. Once again, they did not disappoint me. This is my second pair of JBL's Duet speakers. I purchased a pair a couple of years ago for my Dell PC and thought they had a great sound for computer speakers without the need for a subwoofer. I am using this new pair with a new Toshiba laptop and the sound is "sweet."

Bought these used and besides not having the original packaging they look like new.These are plug and play,setup is extremely fast and easy.And the sound that comes out of these tiny speakers is very sweet.I am very pleased and happy that I purchased these speakers! I've read negative reviews about there built in power saving feature where they go into standby mode when no sound is detected for 2 minutes.But I have not had any problem with this as they turn on immediately as soon as they detect sound.Great price.great speakers!

These speakers are great for many things. I chose to have them at my office. They have amazing clarity and for their size an amazing amount of bass. I don;t know where people are getting that these have no bass. Are they better than my 7.2 setup at home? NO, but then I never expected them to be. I was a little nervous buying them, but I heard friend's JBL ipod dock. It was an older one and small, very small. I was blown away by the sound that little ipod dock could produce so i took a chance on these. Now I am heavily considering getting a second pair for use at home. They do not take up a lot of room on your desk because most of the speaker is in the air so they save you some desk real estate. I got mine used and paid $50 for them but I would not hesitate on the $99 from amazon. As I said earlier I may buy another pair for my home office. I would pay the $99, again these are a great set of speakers. My current home office speakers even have a sub so they can achieve some bass but it is sloppy and boomy and the detail is just not there in my music; compared to the tight, clear, crisp, warm, and accurate sound these produce.Update: As I had feared, once these are taken out of the office setting performance has suffered. They do not perform well at mid to higher volumes. Since I had received these speakers I had noticed a crackling noise coming from one of the speakers. The speaker that does NOT have the volume control would have sloppy bass reproduction. The other performed admirably. I am not sure if this is because of the seller or manufacture's defect. Could be why I was able to pick these up for $50. So for that price not gonna be too upset.

It must be an unqualified manufactuer like other small electronics sold on Amazon. The first time works, and then didn't use it for a long time, four months or so. The second time we did use it again, the sound suddenly disapeared in the middle of the movie, I turned it off and on again, the sound resumed with no problem through the rest of the movie. The third and fourth time, this happened more and more frequently, now I'm sitting in front of my computer watching a movie, the sound can only last two or three minutes. And I cannot return it now. It's not a cheap item, so save yourself some time and money. Like many other examples, this is definitely something you buy in a store but not Amazon. There is a reason why it doesn't get five stars.

I listen to a couple of radio programs on the internet while I take care of routine housework. I needed some external speakers to amplify the volume in order to hear the broadcasts from the next room. These speakers have lived up to my expectations.

5/5 for great build and sound quality! Can't ask for much more for the price! I use them in a small bedroom and I don't hear any tone noted in other reviews. Not sure what that is about.

great sound, but they automatically shut off when they don't hear sound; so, ok for music but useless for computer communication, instant messaging, VOIP...shame on JBL! Don't buy

I consider myself to be something of a tree-hugger, so when I saw speakers with an automatic power-saving feature that turns the speakers off when they don't detect an audio signal for a long time, I was in. Unfortunately, it's that feature that makes me want to pitch these out a window. The documentation says that they'll turn off if they don't detect an audio signal for 2 minutes, but mine stop after only a few seconds without sound. This makes watching movies with lots of dramatic pauses an infuriating experience. Once I do turn on music or a video, it can take the speakers 30 seconds or longer to power up. That's about half the duration of many YouTube videos (which I then have to start over).The reason I gave these two stars rather than one is the fact that the sound is pretty good, and they look cool. But they're a little expensive if they're just going to decorate my desk.Honestly, I'm surprised: I thought JBL had one of the best reputations around. I'm not sure if I retained the documentation for these; if I did, they're going back.

Right out of the box they didn't really work - or they worked intermittently. Use case: I leave these speakers plugged in to my laptop when I am sitting at my desk. I use Pandora, Spotify, and Amazon MP3 to play music. Most of the time I get sound out of them for about 2 minutes and then mysteriously there will be no sound - the green "on" button will be lit but no music. After a period of no sound, green light on, the green light will go off and, sometimes, they will magically restart.The JBL website has some troubleshooting tips and that seems to make them work for a while, but then I'll be back to on for two minutes, then off completely.Although I bought these a couple of months ago, I will probably return them unless someone can point me in the direction of how to fix permanently.On the plus side, it's hard to believe that such great sound comes out of such a small package.

I've owned these speakers for 4 months now and let me tell you my experience. The hardware is pretty good. The sounds get quite loud for their size. Also they look pretty nice. However the problem is with the wiring. They really skimped on the wires. I don't move my speakers at all but after a few months, the contact inside the wire started to give way. So I would have to jiggle the wire to reconnect the speakers. Now after couple jiggling sessions, I have the entire wire twisted to get back the sound. So for that aspect, I have to say it is very disappointing as the actual cone of the speakers are good. But without the wires, it's really pretty useless. So overall I regret this purchase. I am looking for new speakers to buy.

These speakers are very affordable and offer great sound. I am not an audiophile, but they work great for listening to music in my office for 8-10 hours a day. They are definitely loud enough to fill a room or two with sound and are light and easily portable. They do not take batteries and must be plugged in an outlet in order to work.

These speakers are disappointing on all counts. They are quiet--even at full volume they are only slightly louder than my computer's internal speakers. They sound terrible--with disproportionately round bass and tinny, metallic-sounding treble. They also regularly turn themselves off as part of a power-saving mode that is nowhere mentioned in the product description, the packaging, or the instructions.I bought these on sale as part of an Amazon lightning deal, and even at thirty dollars I felt these were not a good buy. But they did teach me to better appreciate the muddy sound of my iMac's tiny internal speakers--which, overall, I much prefer to what the JBL Duet produces.

Bought this on the strength of the good review written here but when I got it and set it up the sound was rather disappointing. Its rather weak mid and hardly any low. The complaint that many face about humming is very true there this low humming sound which when you go up close you would hear it. At the price of more than $40 this is a rather poor choice as there are many better speaker which cost much less. The material is cheap plastic and the look is rather dated. After one week I am trying to sell it off cheap and look elsewhere for a better speaker.
