    I have the Studio 290s, 235c and the 250p subwoofer. As a semi-professional musician(percussionist) I find my system to be very accurate and true to my musical ears. They also double up to make an awesome home theater. I've been rockin JBL speakers almost 25 years now and they always please! You can't go wrong at any price point with JBL. You can spend more and you can find some that sound better. But across the board it's hard to find a a more consistent brand. JBL are still used in more than half the movie theaters, arenas and other venues around the world. With that kind of reputation I think that about says it all!

      I can't say it any better. I'm a former Audio/ video technician and long time home and car audio enthusiast. There's a reason JBL makes speakers that cost $75,000 a pair like the DD Everest Series and consumers in the know don't hesitate to shell out the money to buy them.

    I really don´t understand the product bashing. I bought the the Studio 290 and the other stuff from the studio 2 series like
    235C center, 230 rear and 260P subwoofer. The loudspeakers are connected to an ONKYO RZ900. The Studio 290 are working
    in bi-wire/bi-amplification mode. I used before the the JBL ES Series. I heard before I bought the studio 2 series loudspeakers from HECO and Canton.
    The last two brands are famous brands in Germany. But the JBL studio 2 series sounds best in comparison to the other loudspeakers brands in the price range. I am really happy with the studio 2 series. The studio 2 series is in comparison to the JBL ES series more forceful and more palpable. Also it can be heard more niceties. I startet in 80´s with the JBL TLX series then I switched to Infinity Kappa 8.2 series and then to JBL ES series and now I am listening with JBL studio 2 series. In my opinion the studio 2 series is the best sounding loudspeaker series in its price range. I had never problems with JBL product quality. The loudspeakers working since many years perfect. I expect the same from the studio 2 series. And if a loudspeaker chassis is not build with die casting or the crossover is equipped with electrolyte capacitors with 85°C temperature versions instead of a 105° C temperature version it makes no difference regarding lifetime and sound quality in a loudspeaker. In my opinion it can be given a clear buy recommendation for the studio 2 series, and by the way the studio 2 series looks quite good in comparison to the previous JBL ES series.

      Just received my studio 290s with 225c and 260p sub. Powered by a yamaha tsr-7810. I purchased everything including receiver and wiring for $1,200 US. The speakers were certified refurbished directly from JBL. However they look brand new. I can not believe the value and sound quality for this setup. I am truly impressed. I just need to purchase rears for a true surround sound. I don't get why they get so much hate either.

      I believe it sounds good for you when you dont know any better.
      The fact that it sounds better then HECO or Canton means nothing as both of them nowadays produce Chinese crap too.
      HECO used to produce quality stuff made in Germany, but it was bought by American company VOXX who also owns brands like Jamo or Klipsh and they moved all the production to China, so it is basically just a brand name that they slap on crap to make it sell more.
      The same stuff applies to Canton. Just a name slapped on Chinese crap to make it sell better.

    speaker for 400 euros with 4 drivers (second-hand price of the iPhone)
    ... you can hardly expect hi- end technology for that price, but the truth is that they play very well for this low price, so I can say that JBLs have built a good sound for good-quality mass use for that price
    also have superb bass and modern sound
    I used lots of loudspeakers but when I let them play those for a while, my neighbors came to my door asking what was going on.
    this price for a 4-drivers speaker ... is very low and I think the criticisms are unfounded

      Dont be fooled by lower build quality, they easily outperform speakers with immaculate build quality and a price tag of thousands of dollars.

  • @haicovanoosten

    I can't understand the negative replies to this video. Yes, these are not high end components. But these speaker perform great. They sound much more refined than older JBL entry speakers (LX-series, for example). They work great for music and movies. It brings is with authority, yet refined. The bass is tight and plentiful. The low end fills up an average (European) living room with ease. The high frequencies are consistent over the room and do not fatigue. Very pleasant sound stage. The speakers are a bit shy in the mid-range for classical music, but that's the only flaw I hear. And I really like how they look.
    I own these. I paid 200 Euro (=230 USD) a piece. New. Please tell me where I can buy a set of NEW floorstanding speakers with solid wood cabinets and metal speaker rings for 400 Euro that perform just as well. :D

      @clarkehenschel-henderson2192 Před 6 lety +3

      I agree with you. I have the JBL Studio 190 which should be identical to the Studio 280 aside from the redesigned cabinet. The speakers sound very good and are easily capable of loud volume levels for movies while also working very fell for music. If people are looking for cast frame drivers they should step up to Studio 5 series. Studio 1 & 2 series are a neutral sounding speaker with accurate frequency response and lots of bang for the buck.

Имею такой комплект с 2007 года, самостоятельно усилил стенки корпуса (вклеил по периметру внутренние распорки 3-и рамки), добавил синтепон на все стороны. Результатом удовлетворён на 100%, исчез «бубнёж», плотные и сфокусированные низкие частоты. Такую конструкцию в JBL надо было разработать 15 лет назад?!

    Wonderful video! I like how you saved the made-in-China part, for the last view. I'm sure they sound okay. I have a set of JBL LX600, and guess what? Even though they are made in the USA, the build quality isn't much better. Same cheap particle board, laminated in black-grained plastic, the bottom peeled off over the years. The drivers - outsourced from France - have surprisingly small magnets, given the speakers' power rating. The driver connecting wires are a flimsy light gauge, which is funny because people probably go out and buy heavy gauge speaker wire going to the amp, thinking, this is "JBL" - right? The made-in-the-USA crossover board looks almost identical to the made-in-China board you show here. When the cheap foam surround on the woofer gave out, instead of re-foaming it, I replaced the lightweight driver with a real woofer (different brand), with a robust heavy-duty magnet. Sounds great. Listening to them now, in fact.
    If you want to look inside a real hi-fi speaker system, would love to see you take down an ADS 710 or 810. Built like a tank, and the sound, with dome midrange as well as dome tweeter, is breathtaking. It's on an entirely different level.

That is why they use the cheapest crossover parts , cabinets, and drivers. If you have the skill to build cabinets you can have a much better speaker by getting a kit.

      No, it's not that easy and I advise agains making crossover mods without having a way of making measurements. Even if it's just replacing with lower ESR/DCR components, as the decreased impedance can make a filter overshoot (resonate) more, which can actually hurt the sound and, in the worst case, overheat the amp.
      The impedance of the components has been accounted for in the design.

    The only way to get the speakers that will rock your world is to get out and go listen to them before you buy. Reviews are helpful. But we each have our own opinion on what sounds good. A lot of reviewers have hidden agendas. Like they sell or get a comission for that particular brand or speaker. There are a lot of speakers out there that are very good. It's hard to find two different speakers that sound the same but both are very good sounding. You've got to listen to them before you buy. I learned the hard way.

      I bought a set of bose 301 v by listening to so called experts. Horrible sounding speakers. Like listening to a speaker with a muffler on it. So now I go check them out myself and what you hear is the what they could sound like. Maybe better at your place. At least you have a starting point. I'll never take the word of someone else again. Listen before you buy. Less likely to be disappointed and have to rebox and take back. I ended up with jbl 290s and 280s and couldn't be happier.

  • @BrasspineappleProductions

    They may be cheap, but you could easily upgrade all the components and chamber the
    Drivers to create more efficient sound.
    Or get rid of the bottom driver and find a decent 6.5 inch sub driver that will get down to 30-35hz and chamber that into a small ported system with pvc piping inside.
    Use the other driver crossed at 500hz-2,500hz
    Keep the midrange and upgrade a better crossover 2,500hz-10,000hz
    Replace that filling with foam inside.
    And scrap that tweeter for something like a real horn tweeter.
    The cabinets are good, and input terminals are good.

      Many modern tweeters now use neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets because they are 10 times as strong as a ferrite magnet (the black donut type) by weight, and that enables the motor assembly of the tweeter to be very small. A lot of OEM car audio and pro sound speakers are now using them because of the much lighter overall weight, however they are more expensive so in consumer products they are reserved for applications where mass reduction is of the most value.

    これは日本では¥70000/1本で販売されている高級スピーカーですね。part expressで¥3000ぐらいで買えるような格安ユニットですね。だからもうメーカー製のスピーカーは買わずに自分で作っているのです。2本で¥140000も予算があるなら、箱のエンクロージャーを東急ハンズでカットしてもらい2.5万円で作り、スピーカー・ユニットはもっと高級なものを買うことができます。一時期、銅の値段が高騰してコイルの値段がバカ高くなってとてもネットワークを利用するスピーカーを作るのを控えていましたが、今はもう大丈夫でしょう。やっぱりスピーカーはユニットが良くなければ良い音は期待できません。もちろんエンクロージャーの工夫も必要ですが、それは良いユニットがあってこそ生きるものです。格安のユニットを作る場合は予算的に限られている場合に選択する手段ですが、完成当初は新鮮で嬉しいですが、やがて何かが足りないと気が付き飽きてしまいます。ですからもし予算が許すなら高級ユニットを使用したものを作るのが精神衛生上も良いと思います。自作スピーカーを予算が違うだけで手間ひまは同じですから。一度作ったエンクロージャーを再利用して新しいユニット用に作り直すのは結構大変な手間がかかります。また妥協も必要になってきます。

I have jbl l15 speakers, the cheapest that jbl had to offer in 1981 and those costed more than what these cost if you adjust for inflation. They do still remake their classic speakers like the l100 but it would be nice to see new designs from them with the excellent build quality they used to have with real wood veneer and made in America. It feels like they just use what's left of the reputation of jbl to market their cheap home and portable speakers.
