Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Do away with the dud speakers that came with your PC and upgrade to JBL's Platinum series, which are designed to produce optimal stereo sound for your DVDs, CDs, digital audio, and video games. Each compact speaker offers a 3-inch full-range driver that produces a pleasing 100 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response that can be boosted with a powered subwoofer (sold separately). The speakers are versatile, too, with a digital input port on the front of the right speaker that connects to a portable MP3 player, iPod, personal CD player, or other device. Need a good way to listen to music in the garage or on the patio? Look no further than these Platinum speakers, which are powered independently of your listening source.

PC owners will appreciate the speakers' sleek look, which is designed to complement Hewlett-Packard and Compaq CRT monitors. The speakers even include side-mounted, retractable hooks that attach directly to the left and right side of the screen--ideal when desk space is at a premium or you want to raise the level of the sound. And thanks to the built-in security locks, you needn't worry about someone walking off with the speakers while you're at a meeting.

Audio-wise, each speaker offers a tuned bass port near the bottom that's finely tuned to emit just the right amount of balanced bass output. The premium treble/bass combination produces a rich, full-bodied sound (with 93 dB output) that's perfect for listening to music or enjoying a lifelike gaming experience. Controlling the sound is easy, too, via the power and volume controls located on the right speaker. No more fumbling with your PC software to lower the volume just a tad. Meanwhile, the green LED in the center of the right speaker tells you immediately whether the speakers are turned on or off.

Finally, the speakers include a 6-foot audio cable and an external power adapter. Each Platinum speaker measures 3.3 by 9 by 4 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

What's in the Box
Two powered speakers, 6-foot audio cable, power adapter, user's manual.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice speakers, wish it had headphone jack, August 1, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: JBL DE893BABA Platinum Series Powered Speakers, Black (Pair) (Personal Computers)
Just to clarify a reviewer's comments below--these speakers do NOT come with a headphone jack. The plug in the front is for input from the likes of iPod or other MP3 players. Like it says in the product description: "Digital input on right speaker connects to iPod, MP3 player, CD player, or other audio device".

They sound nice, perfect for desktop use.

Given the diminuative size, you get excellent bass response not typically found in such a small unit. Very crisp highs without being "tinny" and very little distortion at loud volume levels. A bargain at twice the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best speakers for the Price, September 8, 2006
By 
This review is from: JBL DE893BABA Platinum Series Powered Speakers, Black (Pair) (Personal Computers)
I got these a while back with my Compaq monitor and I've got to say they are pretty dang decent. Their high and mids are pretty decent---slightly below par with the Logitech X-530's and their lows are rather lacking(probably due to the lack of a subwoofer). However for the price they are great, especially if you're looking to save space or just replace your moms speakers etc. They are also incredibly tough--I've dropped mine several times on hardwood floors with no problem.

All in all a good deal.
