JBL Duet Speaker System for Portable Music and PC - White (Pair)

These speakers have a nice smooth sound and a wide range for volume. They look pretty and I like them a lot.

I have own this little speaker for more than one year. It is the first time I have to agree all the negative reviews:
About the buzzing/static sound/cellphone interference:
Yes, it is ture and annoying, the reason is poor or maybe no sheild at all.
About the reliability:
Ture, losing one channel three month after one year warranty expires, I am amazed how percise the quality control of JBL would be.

I was looking for compact speakers with a built-in amplifier to take the place of the poor quality little speakers on a 20" TV. The spoken voice was just not reproduced clearly with the TV speakers and it had become an increasing problem as I have gotten older. I wasn't looking for music quality speakers. These speakers are inexpensive, compact and match the gray cabinet if the TV. They are a big improvement over the TV speakers and I can hear what people are saying with the volume at a normal level. They take their power from a normal 120V outlet so there is no batteries to fool with. The TV connection is the 3.5 mm front jack meant for head phones. The speakers have their own volume control but are also controlled by the TV remote. I haven't tried them with music since that isn't what they were purchased for. They do what I wanted them to do and do it well. I am very satisfied with the product.

JBL Duet Speaker System for Portable Music and PC - Aluminum (Pair)All I have to is thatJBL has come up with the perfect speakers for the PC & labtop, I don't see the need for boombox type speakers for your PC the Duets sound perfect at any sound level for the price which I was pleasently surprised I did not expect such great sound, By the way I did not encounter any buzzing or humming from the Duets I should have gotten these sooner!

I bought these speakers when I left for college, and they were the perfect size to fit on a desk, fill the room with music when I'm working out, etc. The sound quality is great, and its easy to set-up, and as important, disable: just plug them into and out of the headphone jack.

However, if you want to throw a loud party, get something bigger: After having them on full blast a few times, they started to get a static-sound at high volume (fine when lower though)

Still, I don't think there's anything better out there. I'd buy again.
