 Works. But poor sound quality. August 20, 2010
Randy Kirsch
I am a bit of an audiophile and have had tons of different home, car and theater speakers over the past 10 years. This pair was not meant to be anything special. It was only meant for occasional use with my laptop (which has an X-fi soundcard and sounded fine with my old speakers).
Unfortunately, the speakers sound awful. I would be upset if I paid 10 dollars. There is no depth to the sound and I have heard better sound quality from speakers that come free bundled with desktops. I wish I wasn't too lazy to return them, but alas, I am.
 Amazing bang for the buck! August 20, 2010

We've been using these as our 'surround sound' system for our projector, and they provide amazing sound. Can't believe how cheap they were! Totally recommended..
Superb Sound! August 5, 2010

Wow. I just got the JBL Duet speakers and they're phenomenal. I have them hooked up to my iMac at work (took about 2 seconds to connect them), and I listen to music all day. The sound is full, rich, clear and vibrant. Exactly what I was looking for. I'm not a sound engineer by any stretch, but I do test the speakers in different ways. Every way the sound is terrific. I pull in XM radio online most of the day and the sound is superior. I switch to my iTunes if there is something specific I feel like listening to, and its terrific as well. But where I get the most out of them is listening to TV/radio commercial mixes. I'm in the ad business and we're constantly working on audio for new spots. I can decipher all the different tracks our engineer puts down, from music, voice to sound effects, and I'm able to evaluate them right at my desk. And at $37 for the pair, they are an incredible value.
5 stars on all counts for the JBL duet speakers. I highly recommend them.
Love these speakers. August 5, 2010

I bought these speakers in 2005. 5 years, multiple Macs, and multiple moves later, they're still going strong and sound great! I tried to switch them out with an iLuv Portable Stereo Speaker Bar for Mac/ PC and Laptops (iSP150BLK) to get rid of the bulky (though standard-size) AC adapter they use, but after a couple minutes of that speaker bar's thin sound, I plugged these JBLs back in and packed the bar up to return it. Also, my cat loves audio cords and chewed through the cord connecting the left and right speakers...twice...but after looping the cut wires together and taping over the exposed wire with electrical tape, they still sound just as good as new. I am completely sold on these speakers. They produce a really nice sound, and are a great value.
 Amazing Sound! August 2, 2010

I read reviews here and elsewhere and decided on JBL Duet Speakers for my iMac. I could not be more pleased. Clear full sound. I have experienced no buzz as mentioned in some reviews. Highly recommend. I was willing to pay several hundred dollars for a good sound. This system cost me $38.00
