JBL Spot Review

The problem with many modern speakers is their look. Sitting next to your Mac, they look plain out of place. The JBL Spot may be the first set of speakers to change that.

Tiny satellite and subwoofer system with a big, exciting sound

Can be fiddly to set up and use, satellites lack mid-range punch

It does lack something in the mid-range oomph, which can make some vocals sound a bit weedy, but overall, it’s very, very impressive. Recommended.

Expert Review

Looking like something from a planet far, far away, the Creature II's unique style combined with above average sound quality and excellent bass should ensure they are a hit.

Unique and stylish design, Touch sensitive Volume Control, Excellent clarity, Great Bass

A little pricey compared to other units, Volume control makes a clicking sound, No visual indicators

Review summary

JBL Northridge E Series EC35

Center speaker with exceptional dialogue reproduction; three-way design featuring dual 5.25-inch woofers, a 3-inch midrange, and a 1-inch titanium dome tweeter; biwire connectivity.

Rear-mounted port limits placement options.

JBL's affordable center-channel speaker sounds like a high-end model.

JBL Creature II

They may look as if they were offloaded by an alien, but these speakers produce some very decent sound.

Review: JBL Spot Speakers

Posted by Dr. MacensteinWe have reviewed many impressive speaker systems in our almost 2-year history here at Macenstein, but the JBL Spot speakers are the first time we've gotten a product that was so all around impressive and affordable that I have...

Amazing sound for the size and price, interchangeable wrappers (comes with black and white, additional colors/patterns available for $9.95 – $19.95 each); did we mention the sound and price

None worth mentioning

Pros: Amazing sound for the size and price, interchangeable wrappers (comes with black and white, additional colors/patterns available for $9.95 – $19.95 each); did we mention the sound and price?

Review: JBL Creature II Speakers

A good speaker system for school or office

Easily connects to your Mac or iPod. Makes a design statement

Control sensors on the right were not as responsive as I would like. It is difficult to quickly mute the system. Graphics indicating direction of adjustment for bass and treble are incorrect. Bass and treble controls on subwoofer

Want to delight someone with a gift that reflects your good taste and holiday spirit? JBL Multimedia’s stylish Creature II three-piece speaker system improves the sound coming out of your iPod, Mac, or PC and enhances music, gaming, or movies. Shaped

JBL Spot

Excellent sound without taking up much space. Look cute - I'm female and usually hate speakers and too many wires! Great to be able to have black or white covers depending on what my decor is.
