306P MkII

After months of research even going into tons of stores. I'll cut to the chase of my simple small setup that didn't cost a fortune. 2 - 6-Inch (306PMKII) I'm wondering what the 8's sound like 1- SMSL100 DAC Money well spent (Bluetooth, Fiber optics, and supposedly from other reviews I can add a subwoofer to the rca out.) Will update this in the future. Cables 2 - 25ft xlr cables I was tired of using boring rca cables 2 - power cables for the speakers Obviously included 1 - power cable for the DAC Obviously included 1 - Fiber optic cable from my tv to the DAC. Why? because I noticed a big difference in sound quality from using bluetooth since I have had these. Since August no subwoofer added to my system but I do plan on getting one eventually. That is all that I am using. No overpriced home audio equipment. I don't have thousands of wires running around my room or wall or cottage that I live in. I use two remotes one for the tv and one for the DAC. I can run my pc via Bluetooth to the DAC but recently I noticed a big difference in quality from using the fiber optic cable. So I run Amazon Music from my tv now(Settings set to HD and up quality in the app). I went with 25ft cables so I can move them around in my cottage with no problem. I have cranked this up full max and have not noticed much distortion. I do this on a Monday when the neighbors are at work and I pretty much have the grounds to myself. It gets loud and the bass is pretty intense. Subwoofer will be next and I'm not sure what I want to do with that. Either a JBL to pair it or to try a $100 compact sub a space savor and to learn from it. I listen to anything that doesn't suck so sorry to you mumble rap crap fans. Classic Rock to the 60's even real hip hop 2 Pac Ja Rule etc...... The speakers are crisp and just right. Klipsch was too tingy. Kef and others out of my price range but sounded incredible to but I wanted a simple small setup and this fit the bill. Pictures and video coming soon 1-20-2023

Equipped with integrated power amplification and a user-friendly DSP control on the back panel, this speaker effortlessly creates an accurate sound space in the near field without the need for additional sound calibration. The thoughtful design translates into great tonal performance in this price range. The low-end response stands out, offering excellence within this budget. While the high-end is slightly soft, that a well balanced system. It provides a comfortable experience during my extended music listening sessions. However, one minor drawback I've noticed is a subtle 'z' noise from the tweeters, which persists even when I turn off the input source. This seems a design issue and JBL let it pass the production test. Anyway, this hasn't been an issue for me as long as music is playing.

I wish I would have had this model as my first studio monitors. Clear, honest sound reproduction without any background noise issues! I have previously used Alesis 5” and Yamaha HS8 as my workhorse for reference and monitoring. Both have their pros and cons, but honestly the purity of sound you get from these JBL 6” has me hooked. GREAT job JBL! I have had no hiss nor other issues from these as I have had those issues in the past with the other branded powered monitors. Also the ability (if needed) to trim out too much low or high on the monitor makes them a keyboard musicians’ dream. All styles that I’ve played through them sound like it’s supposed to sound. Rich and clear; great midrange clarity with just the right amount of high and low to reproduce what I need to hear. The directional range for the tweeter is broad enough that I could even mount above my ear level and still achieve great monitoring. Again, stop looking and get these! Thank you JBL for a wonderfully engineered monitor here.

Pretty good so far sounds great but we will see what happens in a year. Definitely a better sound than my KRK Rokit 5 monitors

Studio quality at computer speaker price. The whole series is phenomenal

I ordered these to pair with my Focusrite Scarlet 2i2, and these things have range. I only do audio production as a hobby and game with this system and these monitors complete the build, from low volume to cranked up agitating the neighborhood, these are balance all the way through. For the price you will be pleased.

I'm not a music producer. I was looking for a way to play my guitar through my computer and not blow the neighbors roof off every time I flipped on the amp. So I did a lot of research into a "budget" set of monitors. It was between these and some Yamaha's that were a bit more expensive. When I finally got my setup together and plugged in my guitar. I was blown away by the sound these were making. These are almost too much for the room I'm in but you can still turn them down and it still reproduce some nice tones (to my old ears anyways). I use these to listen to music as well. And they sound quite good even without a subwoofer. Though I mainly listen to rock, blues, jazz. I've had them for about 3 months and put them through their paces and so far they've been holding up nicely. I'd definitely recommend these for those on a budget and still want quality sound reproduction.

I have a set of Yamaha HS8 and JBL LSR305 MKI. The sound of the JBL LSR306 MKII is between the Yamaha HS8 and JBL LSR305 MkI with the relatively flat response of the HS8 minus the 2-2.5kish bump of the LSR305 MKI while retaining very good mid clarity (vocal), good bass response, and rounded off high end. The LSR306 MKII are simply great for listening to music. Use a good desktop DAC with a full, warm, and detailed sound such as the Ifi Zen DAC Version 2 and you are set. Enjoy.

Very good sound for the price I paid (700$). Good bass, I was mildly surprised at what the 6.5 can do. And scales with a good source. A bit large the size may surprise you for 6.5" units. The cabinet isn't as well built as higher end monitors, but suffices and is sturdy enough. Front piano finish looks nice but stains easily.

Dopo aver fatto uno studio sui vari siti specializzati, ho concluso che sono quelle con il miglior rapporto qualità/prezzo. Suonano benissimo e senza alterare il suono, ideali per chi fa produzioni domestiche e da studio. Suoni non impastati e correttamente bilanciate. Assolutamente consigliate.

como siempre jbl no defrauda gran calidad recomendado 100%

Best price and best quality ....

This sounds VERY nice. Crisp, clean, balanced, and not ridiculously over-bassed like some speakers. Recommended. There are some issues. First, the volume control is firmly notched -- it wants to be set at one discrete volume or another. So you can't do a very linear/analogue positioning to a volume level in-between 5 and 6 (or 5.5 and 6, or whatever it is). They look... just OK. Very basic studio monitor look, with no frills. Fine for a studio, but not so great if you want to put them in the living room. That said, they don't look as plasticy -- or rather, the plasticyness doesn't stand out so much in a room -- as they do in some photos. It came with EU wall plugs on the cable, so you'll want to buy an IEC cable with a UK plug, or just a plug if you're up for re-wiring the cable, or an adapter if your studio is a mess of wires anyway ;) Lastly, the pair I ordered were very poorly packed and arrived in an open box. Thanks, Amazon.
