I bought this subwoofer a month ago and let me tell you I am impressed! The sound quality is phenomenal! The speaker itself is beautifully designed and the construction of the box is amazing! This subwoofer really hits it had my windows rattling! I love it! 
Thanks JBL

Wonderful

Great for a 800-1500 cu ft space, lacks punch in larger spaces but remains musical.

Sound melds quite seamlessly with a pair of Martin Logan LX16 bookshelves, makes it sound like I have a couple of nice floor standing speakers, which is what you want for music, my primary use for this sub. 

Also gives a nice rumble playing video games. 

Not the tightest bass I've ever heard, nor does it go super-deep, but like I say it's very adequate and pleasant and enhances smaller speakers quite nicely. Has been 100% reliable for the 3 months I've had it. 

Cabinet seems solid, only vibrates a tiny bit when unit really hitting. My old ears don't detect any significant cabinet resonance transmitted in the sound, and haven't heard any port chuff either.

Looks are adequate, the glossy top and the 4 rounded sides are a nice touch and may enhance the WAF a little bit. But it's a black, vinyl-clad subwoofer box. It looks like you expect, which is to say ... not particularly attractive. Size is reasonable though, and it's easily moved/handled by most folks, not too cumbersome or heavy.

This all said, at full pop, there's better options like a BasX, or save up another hundo and get a Speedwoofer, which sounds quite a bit better than this unit. That's what my 4-star rating is about. When this goes on its occasional big sale, it's an incredible value. You can't touch the value on this thing at a buck-fiddy (well, unless you find something else on a great sale). It's 6 stars then ;)

A perfectly adequate mid-range 10" ported sub

Very satisfied with my purchase. Would recommend to anyone. JBL delivers quality!

Nice subwoofer

Bought this sub a year ago(for $179.00) to replace a 20 y/o JBL sub. The old one was still going strong. But with the upgrade to the a pair of Studio 209s floorstanding and a Studio 235c center channel this was a no-brainer. I love the tight, accurate bass of the 250p. This total upgrade takes my home theater from awesome to Beast Mode!!!

Beast Mode!!!

This sub provides a nice balance to any movie or musical recording.

Underrated Sub

easy to set up & use, sounds great. adds another dimension to my other JBL speakers

great quality & looks

not only did the board go out!   JBL strung mr along for 6 months that they where making me a new one.  waiting for parts to come in.    they charged me for a new board for 100 bucks.   but they sent me the wrong one.     they closed my "case file" after i complained.

i purchased the 12' studio sub.    

larry

amp board goes out right after warrenty!

The Studio SUB250P has full rich bass, well balanced with no booming.

Best sound all around!

Not sure why some of the reviews stated it didn't have Auto on. it clearly shows it in the pictures, great product.

Great product

Great subwoofer and produces clean solid bass. Initially it might not sound great but after allowing it to break-in for about a week (most subwoofers require this break-in period, I am impressed with the sound quality. Nothing to complain about.

However, this subwoofer is not for everyone. Everyone's needs & tastes are different. My setup is a 5.2.1 home theater setup for music and video. I allowed my Yamaha receiver to do the setup and configuration via YPAO and also handle all the bass management. Thus, I am never overwhelmed by the bass produced by this subwoofer...subtle bass when required and thunder when needed. Love this!!

If you want thunder all day long...then you must configure your receiver accordingly and this subwoofer will deliver!

Clean solid bass...not for everyone

Have owned for approximately 30+ days and WOW.
Finally getting it broke in and understanding this bass monster.  It is everything I hoped for #1 music, movies and standard TV.  Former semi- pro musician,  sound man for bands with or with out my PA. It just gets better everyday.  It’s good for set and leave but is excellent for sound fiddlers who have to just adjust to perfection of sound. This unit is in a 15x15 room and will rattle the rafters if that is what I needed, it’s not but for perfection of sound on the low end it is everything I 
hoped for.  Break them in - in moderation and the God of Thunder named JBL will reward.

Lot of bang ba-da boom

I bought this a few weeks ago to replace a previously stolen one, and I’m still not disappointed with the quality

Love the deep rich bass

I'm no connoisseur of speakers but this rocks my house. Very impressed. Set it up on a 7.1 system (have 6 jbl 8" in wall speakers, 1 JBL center channel not in wall. Love the sound quality and ease of setup.

Pumps out the bass

Being an "old school fan" we had the luxury of 3-way speakers, . . . & that was it ! At first, I thought this subwoofer was just another gimic,  . . . far be that from the truth. It is like having live recording/performance with the Bass player of the band in your own personal entertainment room, . . . in your HOME !  BOOM . . . BOOM !  How nice ! ! !  A BEAUTIFUL  touch .

The control adjustments provide unlimited choices.

After reviewing several subwoofers on Amazon, I went directly to the JBL web site and found the SUB 250P on sale much cheaper than on Amazon.  JBL has always built premium sound equipment, so I did not hesitate to order one for my new home theater setup.

Great sound.

I bought this last year and its worst to buy as visted 3 times in service centre all they do is fix and return and this product got any new fault with in 2 months.worst to buy.

Useless product

Added to an amp to pair with ceiling speakers the sound is complete now with the deep base this sub adds. Thumbs up!

It's OK. Got it on sale for a good price. Clean sound.

Gotta admit, this is a pretty nice sub. I purchased an SVS sub and it sounded terrible, it did nothing but vibrate and rumble (that's great if that's what your into). Not me I like a sub that thumps when it is supposed too. This JBL gives me both thunder and bass not just rumbling and vibration. Its a keeper for me.
