JBL SoundSticks II 2.1 Speaker System

Great Sound

Strengths: awesome sound...eye-catching design...

Weakness: cumbersome subwoofer

these are great speakers for the price. I have the original SoundSticks at work and decided I wanted the same for home. The new SoundSticks II work on any Mac or PC. Just plug into the speaker jack. Old SS only worked on Mac with USB connection. New version also have a volume control. Sound is very crisp for such small units. A winner here!

Harman Kardon Soundsticks Review

Strengths: Sound is crystal clear.

Weakness: There is no power button, in order to turn off, you have to unplug everything

When we first received the speakers, the packaging seemed a bit light. However, upon opening the speakers, you first notice the style and sleekness. Setup of the speakers is super easy; basically just plug and play. When we finally hooked them up, the sound was incredibly clear.

Clear, Crisp Sound

These speakers give much better sound than my old pair of 2.1 speakers. They don't look as good as most other multimedia speakers out there, but I don't really care. If you're looking for a great-sounding, sharp-designed set of speakers, get these. A few things you cannot tell from the product description: > These speakers (SoundSticks II) are compatible with PCs. The original SoundSticks were...

JBL SoundSticks II 2.1 Speaker System

Strengths: design and sound

Weakness: no power switch

I purchased this 2.1 system to replace a SoundSticks USB set...same great looks with advanced connections and function. Great sound and a super fit with my Powerbook. A bit pricey, but what do you expect when buying an accessory for a Mac system? I'm very satisfied.

JBL SoundSticks II 2.1 Speaker System

JBL SoundSticks II 2.1 Speaker System

Strengths: Great sound...even better styling

Weakness: No off button

I really like these speakers. I saw them in a display a couple of years ago and loved the clear design. They most clearly match the clear look of a lot of Apple Products, but I like the way they look with my PC too. The sound is very clear. I've had some speakers that seemed to have more punch, but the sound on these is very good. The only down point for me is no off switch...since you can't see...

Greatest Speakers Ever!

I bought these for my Sony Vaio at Costco for $120. They were hooked up and the sound was pretty good--even in the cavernous concrete of Costco. But let's face it, I was sold as much by the sound quality as the obvious physical charms. Stroking the base of one of these very responsive adjustable angle sticks makes the volume go up or down--similar to the iPod's volume control. They take up very...

JBL SoundSticks II 2.1 Speaker System

Strengths: Beautiful design.

Weakness: Can't think of one.

This has got to be one of the best speaker systems I have ever used. The range is phenomenal; the sound rich and full. A must for any serious music lover. The design is quite beautiful as well.

JBL SoundSticks II 2.1 Speaker System

Strengths: Great design; good sound quality; easy setup

Weakness: Costly; only plugs in through computer's standard speaker connection

I struggled for weeks deciding between this and the Creature II speakers (as they are less costly). I finally went with the SoundSticks II package, because they are more aesthetically pleasing. I am glad to find that I did not waste my money. Form and function come together in this product. I only wish there was something better than a standard speak connection.

JBL SoundSticks II 2.1 Speaker System

Strengths: Cool looking and great sound

Weakness: No on/off switch

This is a very cool 2.1 speaker set. I thought it was made by glass and I was wrong, it's plastic. A blue LED light inside the subwoofer even cooler in the dark. It is pity that the manual suggests to put the subwoofer under the desk. I want to put it somewhere to display to everybody. There is no on/off switch, so it's always on (but can be mute). The touch sensitive volume controller is great...
