| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Great Sounding Speakers
These speakers deliver superb sound. I mean SUPERB! It is just crystal clear. Plus it has really nice bass, and an excellent subwoofer. I don't know what people have been saying about rattling or buzzing, because I have experienced none. | 5 | 754 days ago | Great System and Doesn't Rattle!
Look, these speakers are magnificent. First of all, they have an amazingly attractive look. Second, but most importantly, they produce amazing sound. The sound quality in these speakers is superb! They have a very crisp and balanced sound with amazing depth. This is a great system for a reasonable price. I listen to them at my friend's house all the time and I've never been disappointed. They're fine for pretty much any genre. From my experiences with them, I've never heard any rattling from the subwoofer (which some people claim). That would be caused by blasting and overloading the speakers (which many people do without realizing it). Also, make sure the equalizer for an iPod, laptop, or CD player is turned off. That will cause a powerful car-woofer bass which overloads speakers (which could cause rattling) and really irritates me! Make sure you don't bang them around which might also be the cause of rattling due to damage. Overall, I'd highly recommend these. I listen to a lot of Pink Floyd (which requires high end sound due to the music detail) and I'm picky about my sound when I listen to them. JBL, you've done it again. | 5 | 741 days ago | excellent desktop speaker system
a great speaker system for the Mac... the beauty is not just skin deep, it sounds as good as it looks. Use the Mac itunes equalizer to fine tune the sound to your individual taste. | 5 | 741 days ago | Wonderful for music!
I just bought these speakers to replace my old set of Cambridge Soundworks, which I must say, did a very decent job for the last 4 years. Being a TOTAL music lover, I am VERY picky about sound quality, even if it is just from a computer where is going to be coming from! I of course don't expect computer speakers with a sub-woofer to sound like a pair of Pro-Standing speakers, but I want at least to be able to hear downloads or CDs with decent sound quality while at work...Well, after much research and LISTENING, I went ahead and bought a pair of Encounters. Before buying them, I compared them with the Creature and Soundsticks speakers, also by JBL. I have to say the Encounter have a better imaging and a deeper warmer sound than the Soundsticks. The Creature ones simply don't even get close! As I pointed out, these are computer speakers, and as such, the bass (specially)is artificial, a sound that lacks "breath"; but...what could you expect for a plastic sub-woofer? On the other hand, is the most decent bass sound I've ever heard from computer speakers! better and more natural than any other sub-woofer on this price range and considerably higher. The mid and high registers sound really nice, great stereo separation, and as pointed out before, nice warmth without sounding un-natural. The power handling is superb! you get 13Watts RMS from this mini speakers plus a 34watts subwoofer...enough sound to fill a mid size room with excellent sound quality. You won't get the fancy design of the Soundsticks, but the sound of the Encounter is considerably better, and that ultimately is what I care about. Very higly recommended! | 5 | 741 days ago | a must have for any music lover
my girlfriend found this system on sale locally and bought it on the spot. i met her at her place, hooked it up to her ipod and before the first song was over i already had my money in hand, walking to the car so i could get myself a set. This setup is a great addition to any computer. I was planning on buying an altec lansing speaker setup, and i've been a JBL car audio amplifier user for years. I love the quality products that Harman Kardon puts out (within reason, none of the 20 dollar systems) and this is no exception. I first thought my system didnt sound as good as my gf's setup, but after a little playing around I came to realize that the fuzzy, overwhelming bass and poor vocal reproduction was actually caused by the fact that my computer's integrated sound card is not good enough to utilize the full potential of these speakers. I'm actually listening to the setup right now with my ipod, and I have to say, it's some of the clearest music you could ever ask for no matter what your taste-rap to classical, it's wonderful. The satellite speakers are so clear that you can actually hear slight breaths and the vibrations of the guitar strings on professionally recorded tracks that you simply would never hear on a standard speaker system. as you can see, I gave it a 4 out of 5. at higher levels the system can become slightly distorted, but that is the nature of any speaker system. I'm a professional car audio expert, and i can tell you that these are, by no measurable margin, worse than any comparable product on the market.
<br />my only real complaint is that sometimes the touch pad volume controls stop working. that's happened about 3 or 4 times over the last 2 months that i've had it, but a simple connection check fixes the problem. The sub is mounted in my foot area, so I may be causing the problem, but i thought it was worth noting. | 4 | 741 days ago | Large sound, small price!
I love to listen to music and my I Mac, itunes and these speakers have become the dominant source of sound in my home. The sound produced by this system for a wide range of music and the small investment required to make them yours is a no-brainer! I have listened to them now for about 2 months with no regrets - would highly recommend them. | 5 | 741 days ago |
