I think you'll have a challenge matching my little setup for under $100. Well, not so fast. I bought them for travel initially for my laptop & MP3 player. That's not separation). I use them mounted vertically on a home-made bracket that sits out of sight behind the laptop screen. The small size of the speakers belies the full tonality I'm enjoying (no subwoofer required, either). I was impressed with the range and clarity of the sound. I got to thinking that if I used two sets of them I might solve the problem (I know what you're thinking - A/B on the right and A/B on the left.
What I did was wyed the L & R together with an RCA 'Y' adapter on each set (giving me mono input to each pair) and then used one unit for each stereo output. I'd give them 6 stars if I could. I've owned two sets of these little gems for exactly one year today. One thing they lacked was separation (a fair trade-off for portability). The result is four independently powered speakers (two left & two right) for a total of 6 watts per channel.
It is totally awesome and portable and the batteries last quite long. I have a couple of boats, I cart this stereo out on the boats, to the beach, and I have velcro'ed it to my beach bike when I ride. I have 2-3 friends that have asked "Where can get one"Razz
When closed, the case packs nicely in luggage or a backpack. Don't expect lots of bass, or great stereo separation. It turns out that these are a great set of travel speakers. I wouldn't purchase these to just use as stationary speakers, the emphasis is here is travel.When used with a good set of NiMH AA rechargeable batteries, battery life is actually very good. I was having a hard time finding a set of good portable speakers. I purchased these at a Staples store (and overpaid) with the expectation that I would probably be returning them the next day. What you can expect is good sound, good volume, and good portability.
Yes, shhhhhhhh.I have these speakers in front of me, so I don't need too much volume to hear music adequately.Because of this, I can hear this shhhhh noise, and it's annoying.The sound is OK, one star because they're JBL and the price tag.
Gives me all the sound I need. Very happy with the quality. Taking it on my cruise.
