Review of JBL duet II desktop speaker system


JBL DUET II desktop speakers is all new and amazing pair of audio speakers from JBL under sub 100$ category.

price tag category.Comes in silver and grey color shades with glossy black

background.
It comprises of 40-millimeter Phoenix SE speakers in modern looking oval

enclosure. It has 6 Watt Amplifier. Thus donot expect the ooomph of a sub

woofer system. Its great for normal music listening experience.

The JBL Duet II is compatible with all 3.5mm jack sockets. Which includes

personal computers, portable MP3 devices and most modern music mobile phones

including Iphone and Nokia E and N series phones.It has onboard digital

amplifier system. Which definitely produces impressive sound with minimal

distortions. Yes, at high volume it does produce noticable distortions

specially for Low frequencies.But thats acceptable at the given price tag.

Volume and power controls are located at the very top of the system.This

works best for those who do not like to change equalizer frequencies much as

per choice.Just one control and life is easier.This system excels in

producing Midrange and high range frequency music.

The system’s specs are:
12 watts total power
60 Hz – 20 kHz frequency response
80 dB signal to noise ratio

This is a remoteless system.This is recommend for someone who is looking for

a compact desktop speaker system with cool stylish room presense.

The cables are all hardwired.The top end of each speaker is flat. The

frontface of the system has a non detachable silver net,while the back panel

of each speaker is shiny black surface.All this is accompanied by A tiny

green LED which indicates if the speaker is on or off.

This is perfect for the work areas where volumes shouldn't be too high.

Speakers seam to have interference with EDGE enabled phone while on usage.

Vinal Verdict:
Rating: 8/10
The JBL Duet II delivers quality audio at a reasonable price.

Pros

alienatic design at very affordable price tag.
Very Easy volume control system.

Cons
Signs of noice interference with a EDGE enabled mobile device
Hardwired cables can't be replaced. Distorts at high volumes, especially at

lower frequencies.
