Editorial Reviews
From the Manufacturer
The JBL Duet multimedia speaker system provides smooth and accurate sound for any portable music player or computer. With its incredibly easy setup and use, Duet is a sophisticated approach to achieving great two-channel sound.

Duet uses patent-pending Tangential Strain Relief (TSR) technology that was designed specifically to deliver extra bass and lower distortion in small enclosures as a result of controlled linear excursion of the speaker. It also provides superior midrange- and high-frequency reproduction.

The neodymium magnet creates more power and sensitivity. Duet also uses a proprietary Adverse Pressure Gradient (APG) port design, which greatly enhances the bass performance.

Customer Reviews
Happy with my Laptop and my Speakers!
I was happy with the purchase of my Macbook. But the purchase of the JBL Duet Speakers took my happiness with my music collection on iTunes to a different level.

Decent enough, but not sure they're worth the premium
Based on user comments, I figured I'd buy slightly more expensive speakers for the office than I'd intended. Unlike many of the other reviewers though, after listening to them, I didn't think these speakers significantly outperformed other speakers in the $20-30 range. They're fine enough, but I think you definitely pay a premium for the styling. Bass is pretty much exactly what you'd expect from low end speakers, nor do they particularly fill a medium sized room. But hey, they look good and they're still reasonably inexpensive.

ear plugs needed
speakers are awesome! nice sound. the only bummer is that the knob is hard to turn - it's hard to grip. we had to put a rubber band on it so that we could turn the power/volume knob easier.
